MRS. HALLS MIRACLE
Experiences Similar to This Have Oc-

AmericuS,

Americus.
Few women are better known 10
Lockport. N. Y, than Mrs. Pattie D.
Hall. as she belongs to one of the best
families and has large circle of friends
and acquaintances. In recent Inter
view Mrs. Hall said
"The experience I have been through
in the last two years seems like mira
Gle. I was so badly eff thai life seemed
almost unendurable, aud my deafness
increased so that / could scarcely hear
anything. The suffocation in my chest
and the indigestion caused By my ca
tarrh. produced very severe suffering, I
had five different physicians, bought
everything thai any body recommended
to me, but finally gave up in despair.
Zone day my milliner asked me if I
had ever tried Hyomei. 1 began the
treatment, and can thankfully testify
that Hyomei does cure this terrible dis =
ease. Since using it my hearing is
greatly improved, and the only time
I have any catarrhal trouble is wheu I
take cold. I then use Hyomei, and
always get instant relief. My frien IS
and acquaintance marvel at the change
In my health and hearing"
Hyomei5nas made many cures of c.
tarrh, and in connection with Hyomei
balm, of catarrhal deafness, in Ameri-
Gus. Similar experience 20 that of Ms
Halls have created large sale for
Hyomei with Dodson'J Pharmacy.
The complete outfit, including the in
haler, costs but 81, while extra bottles
are but 30 cents. Ask j. G.. Dodson
to show you the strong guarantee under
which he sells Hyomei.

q sinister look. THE BOAT.
The younger girl was very different
She was fair. She wore blue dress of
the pale shade Of the heavens on a
serene day. Her hat was of so light
texture that it seemed rather like a
faint luminous circlet. The children
were looking at a skiff tied to a stake
on the shore. In it were pair of oars
and a basket containing fishing tackle.
The boat rocked lightly as wavelets
rolled under it,
Come" said Della, "let us have a
row on the river"
mo, no." said the boy, eve mustn't
take the boat. What would the owner
do if he were to come for it and find it
gone?
'Well, let us get in anyway" cried
the older girl.
She sprang into the boat like a cat.
Homer could scarcely hear her feet
touch the seat. Then she stepped light
ly from one seat to another to the
stern.

Special despatch to The N. Y. Herald.
 Des Moines. Iowa, Sunday--A recent declaration by MT. J. A. T. Hull, of this city, in an interview that he fully expected the United States would have to either sell the Philippines to Japan or have a war with the island empire of the Orient. has attracted an immense amount of attention. The Representa- tive frankly says that he did not dream that his views would cause such com motion.
 'In the first place." he says. "it did not occur to me that I was saying anything that would be particularly new to people. It has been the com monest gossip at Washington and in diplomatic circles of other capitals, as I know very we'll, for months. More over, 1t Is the most reasonable thing in the world. I am not trying to alarm the country; I am simply stating a few facts.
 The Japanese would be superior to any other people of which We know anything If they would have avoided all conceit the last year. They have overthrown the Oriental power and ruined the prestige of the empire that they had long been taught to regard as the most powerful in the world. Naturally, they suspect that the power of other Occidental nations may be as much a sham as was that of Russia.

Russia driven back from the Pacific and Tokio the dominating influence at Pe- kin. 1t Is easy enough to foresee that Japanese commercial expansion will aim to control, as far as possible. the development of the new order of things in the East.

nations. The United States, owning the Philippines, will have by far the greatest interest in Asia, of any nation except Britain. Our islands have long been viewed with cupidity by Japan. which needs their land. their labor, their wealth, their business opportun- ity. In Formosa they have achieved a wonderful colonial success. Why not in the Philippines?
 Japan is certain to be close to the centre of the worlds stage for some decades to come. She has proved her quality. It will not be easy for any nation to maintain in the Far East a naval force large enough to overawe the Japanese: even Britain would be put to the test to do 1t. Japan need not attempt to maintain armaments in other waters, but other Powers are compelled to keep their Atlantic. Med- lterranean and other squadrons con- stantly on a war basis. Thus Japan has an immense advantage. She ouId throw a force into the Philippines so large that we could never wrest them from her before we could send a trans- port across the Pacific; and then by the time our transport got across she could seize it, unless we had an immense fleet to convoy.
