JAP MASTER AND MAN.

1t was in this melee of blood and
sword that saw a sight that touched
me deeply. l noticed two men In our
younger of these men came from n
well-to-do Samurai family; the older
man was also from the same place
In fact the father of the older man
had spent all his life In the service of
the family from which the younger
man came. On this terrific day, when
they were within few meters of the
Russians, when they fought with
rocks, swords and anything they could
get hold of, saw these men cling to
each other closely. AT the height of
the bloody excitement the older
seemed to be mindful of the younger
always. At one time a few of the
Russians actually succeeded in rush
ing upon part of our line. One of
the russians raised the butt of Lis
rifle, about to strike the younger of
these two men. Then l saw the older
swing forward and literally hurl down
the Russian with the bayonet through
his body. A little later the young
man was shot in the leg and fell.
saw the older man forget himself COM
pletely, forsake his gun, kneel down
beside the young friend of his, and
not finding piece OF cloth, he tore
the front of his l;irt. He stuffed lit
tie piece of cloth into the bullet hole
In the leg of his friend. Then, after n
little while, because of the fierceness
of action about me, 1 lost sight of
these men. When / came upon them
a few minutes later they were together
side by side. AS 1 passed said to tie
older man, who was half standing, al
ways covering his young master:
Cant you manage TO carry yourself
to the rear with your friend-to the
field hospital, or to some shelter be-
hind the hill?
"Oh, 1t is all right" he answered.
"Afy young master is wounded a little,
but he will recover In minute.
think. Then We shall get at the Rus
SLAMS again.

a Russian bullet had made upon his
own shoulder. "Oh," he said, 'that is
a scratch. Don't mind that."-A Jap

Keeping Out Chinese.

The act imposing tax of $500 upon
every Chinaman entering Canada has
had q prohibitive effect Since Janu
ary l, 1904. not single Chinaman has
arrived, with the exception of two
who escaped from steamships. In
case each steamship company had to
pay the poll tax Of $500. The exclu-
sion OF Cinnamon has deprived the
province of British Columbia of o
handsome revenue. In 1903 British
Columbia received from the poll tax
$225.00 and the year before $25S, 900.

Mr.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use of His Limbs When
All Other Remedies Failed.

Declares That DIR. Williams Pink PILE
Restored the Use of His Limbs When
All Other Remedies Failed.
The premonitory symptoms of parnly-
sis are: trembling of the hands; sudden
loss Of power in arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side Of the body; stag.
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quivering
of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warming is
vague feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.
In recent interview Mr.. W. J. L.
Hayden said: ~ truly think that DIR.
Williams' Pink Pills are great meli-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed to give
me the slightest relief. Too close at

into paralysis. There were times whsi
it was impossible for me to move my
hands or to get mp from chair. Al
other times had partia. control Of my
limbs, but / was afraid to go far from
the house for fear / might suddenly be-
come helpless and have to be carried
home.
while was in this miserable con-
dition, l was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four months. ]
had the best physicians, but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from my
system. and they did not help my par.
nlysis in the least.
al was we'll nigh despairing when n
friend persuaded me to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. When had finished one box
I could see results that encouraged me
My condition kept steadily improving,
and when / had taken seven boxes was
cured Of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out of my system.
For two years now have enjoyed the
best Of health and have attended to bus
iness without any interruption.
Mr.. Hayden's home is at No. 252 West
Both street. New York. DIR. Williams
Pink Pillshavc cured many similar cases
Of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
so simple, inexpensive and successful
s.,onld be tried by every sufferer from
partial paralysis in any Of its stages.
