One reason why Peruna has found per-

contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc

It has no bad effect upon the system,

surplus moneys above the actual cost
were divided pro rata between Gayncr,

they were to be made Capt. Carter would
go to New York. where he would draw
a treasury order for the full amount,
plus SIS, his expenses on the journey;
that this check would be handed to
Greene, and that within few days
Gaynor would hand his check for one
third of the payment. plus $75, to Car

Quebec.-As the result Of the recen5
decision of Gle British urivy council, two
sagitives from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
States to stand trial for their serious Of
1anse against the laws.
Years ago, before extradition treaties
rad been arranged with European coun-
tries, the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
It was common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the boz
GERS of the States" Canada, being
easy 0f access, was a favorite harhor for
enbezz1ers and defauiters. and many
there defied the efforts of justice to bring
them to trial.
Even after agreements had been ef-
footed with most OF the countries. men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred ticking their chances
with the extradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with tAeir il4-

than five times as much as, the,
entire United States. Under
the conditions that have existed
in China for centuries this pop
ulation could all be supported
by that country alone. But
when the awakening comes
in China as it has in Japan with
in the last fifty years, the peo-
pie Of that country will want
the necessities and even the
luxuries of other countries
The time is not far distant,
reckoned by the lives Of nations,
when this almost numberless
population of China will be fed
and clothed and housed like
Americans, and there will be
great demands for railroads and
telegraphs and telephones, and
machines and the other progress
sive inventions of the western
world. When these conditions
develop fully, China will become
the greatest selling mart of the
world. The nation that is in
the market first will have the
greatest advantages. England
is lending her moral support
to Japan in the present conflict
with Russia, realizing that Jap
anese influence will have much
to do with the shaping of
Chlna.s future, and through
these influences England hopes
to become a strong commercial
factor in the future of China.
Germany sees the writing on
the wall and is now doing all
within her power by moral SYM
pathy to thwart Japan's pur-
poses. 1t is not improbable that
the cause of the boycott of A :
