II shall name a reasonable rate in its
place. that this rate shah 90 into ef-
feet after 20 days notice and shall re-

SHORT STORIES

"As to showing you this modern med
ical marvel of the age. I'm doubtful" 4"
said the huslSy-voiced scientist in the
cart holding up a small vial between
his thumb and forehnger 1T isn't be-
cause any doubt of its ehicaciousness
arises in my mind; it's simply because
the price may be considered steep after
the nominal consideration for which
I've supplied you with liver pills and
eye salve.
Il can tell you now that this is no 10
cent remedy. The herbs that enter in
to its composition are the rarest known
to botany and there is only one spot on
the habitable globe in which they are
found. I import them directly from
that spot at an enormous expense and
have the extract prepared by skilled
and high-salaried chemists under my
own personal supervision. SO l know
exactly what it is I'm offering you. At
the same time 1 don't ask any more
than dts actual cost to me. which Is ex-
actly 10000 times iess than what it's
actually worth. Ladies and gentlemen,
offer you this wonderful remedy for
% cents.
Twenty-Five cents for the little vial
that doesn't hold more than thirty
drops at the outside. It seems like a lot
of money for a little medicine, don't it?
But I'm addressing an Intelligent au-
dience that knows quality and guam
tity are two different things. If you
went to a sand pile and wanted 25
cents worth of sand the chances are
you'd get as much as you'd want to
carry, but how big a chunk of radium

most common and at the same time
the most distressing ailments human
nature is afflicted with. What is that
ailment? Now we get down to it. It's
toothache.
Ladies and gentlemen, you all know
what it is to have the toothache. I've

Russian Admiral Says Surrender Of
Port Arthur Was a Disgrace.
Toxic, Jan. PA Russian admiral,
who has just Joined the prisoners
from Port Arthur now ia Japan, has
given to a correspondent of the As
sociated Press an extended statement.
covering the defense and surrender of
the fortress. He characterizes the
surrender before the garrison had
reached IT'S extremity as a disgrace,
bitterly critcises General Stoessel
and lauds General Kondratenko. com
mander Of the Seventh East Siberian
Rifles. as the true hero Of the defense
Of Port Arthur,
The admiral says that Vice Admiral
Makaroff, who commanded the Rus.
sian squadron at Port Arthur. and
who went down with the battleship
Petropavlovsk on April 13, dictated
the policy of inactivity on the part
Of the squadron, taking the ground
that it would be hopeless, owing to
the inferiority CT the Russian naval
strength, to engage the fleet of Vice
Admiral Togo, and that it would be
unwise to divide the force defending
Port Arthur By running ships to Vladi-
yostok or 10 neutral ports. The ad-
miral admits that bitter friction ex-
listed between the army and the navy
and intimates that there is a proba-
bility of inquiry into this matter by
court martial. He insists that the Rus
slams destroyed their warships at Port
Arthur beyond any possibility of sal
wage by the Japanese.
