JAPAN's DIVINE STORM"

About 600 years ago Japan was threatened with an invasion from con- tinental Asia, tnuch as England was | threatened with invasion by the 1 Spaniards. The beaten Spanish | armada was dispersed by storm and | Japan was delivered in much the same way, but without an engagement. A Japanese writer, Okakura Yoshisabura says: "The mighty Kubial, grandson of the great Genghiz khan, naughty with his resistless army, whose devast- ating intrepidity taught even Europe at | the mention of his name dispatched an embassy to the Japanese court to de- mand the subject of the country. The message was indignantly dismissed. Enraged at this, Kubial equipped a large number of vessels with the choicest soldiers China could furnish. The invading force was successful at first and committed massacres in Xxi and Tsushima, island lying between Korea and Japan. The position was menacing; even the steel nerves of the trained samural felt that strange thrill a patroit knows. Shinto priests and Buddhist monks were busy at their prayers.
 "A tremendous Chinese fleet gathered in the boisterous of Genkal in the sum- mer of 12S1. At last the evening came with the ominouos glow on the horizon that foretells an approaching storm. It was the plan of the conquering army victoriously to land the next morning on the holy soil of Kyushu. But dur ing this critical night a fearful typhoon, known to this day as the divine storm, arose, breaking the jet-black sky with it's tremendous roar of thunder and bathing the glittering armor of our soldiers guarding the coast line in white flashes of dazzling light. The very heaven and earth shook before the mighty anger of nature.
 Dawn of the next morning saw the whole fleet of the,proud Yuan, that had darkened the water for miles, swept

the flames and pull the wire with its

She could do neither. She received a

CANON CITY WINNERS
IN THE LAND DRAWING

AS whole, Canon City people can
not be said to have been very lucky in
the Uintah reservation land drawing
last week, although about dozen
prizes are credited to them. The most
fortunate of the Fremont county fell
lows was Harry Munger, of Lincoln
Park, who drew No. So, and with it a
quarter section of land which he esti-
mates is worth eight or ten Thousand
dollars.
Others who drew prizes were Joseph
w. Milsom, melter at the q. s. mint in
Denver, who may be regarded as q
Canon man; Chas. Apple, of 5A Macon
avenue; Allan H. Craig, Of the firm of
Craig Bros, at 513 Main street; w. b.
White, of Walnut avenue, South Can-
on; Joseph w. Enid; W. H. Mayhem Z;
Tsncey 8. Howard and Daniel Camp
bell.
A complete list of the winners would, +,
probably, give half dozen other
names, but we are unable at this time
to state who they are. In most cases
the numbers drawn were SO high as to
preclude their holders from getting
land Of any great value.

Hurried eating has ruined MANY man's
stomach. The igestion-destroting pro-
cess Is gradual often unnoticed at first.
But it is only short time until the liver
balks, the digestive organs give way, and
almost countless ills assail the man who
endeavors to economic time at the ex-
pense of his health.
A torpid liver causes quarantine of the
entire system. 1t locks in the diseased
germs and body poisons and affords them
full play, inviting some serious illness.
In families where August Floweris used,
. sluggish liver and constipation are un-
known. SO are all stomach ailments, as
headaches and kidney and blader affec-
lions. No well-regulated family should
be without this standard remedy.
