Crocodile Took Boy From Boat.

From the British North Borneo Herald.
 MT. c. c. Irving, having joined the telegraph department, left Sandakan by boat on August to commence his duties on the rentis at Sibuga. and a letter has just been received from him detailing an experience he had
 He and his party stopped at Nunoyan until 1 a. m. on the 9th. They then started again, and all was quiet until they were just nearing Sibuga at 5:15 a. m., when suddenly the boat gave a horrible lurch and there was a most awful scream. MT. Irving was sleep ing, but awakened with the lurch and scream to find his boy" who was named Haji Itam. gone-taken by an enormous crocodile.
 The brute. it seems. first made a snap at the steersman's arms, missed and jumped half into the boat and took the poor boy by the leg; it reappeared for not more than half a second, and gave the others no chance to shoot MT. Irving had a very narrow escape, for he was lying within two feet of the boy.

What AiQuOZOne As,

The virtues of Liquozone are derived solely from gases. The formula Is sent to each user. The process of making re- quires large apparatus, and from to IA days time. It is directed by chemists of the highest class. The object is to so fix and combine the gases as to carry into the system a powerful tonic-germicide.
 Contact with Lquozone kills any form of disease germ, because germs are of vegetable origin Yet to the body Liquo- zone is not only harmless but helpful in the extreme. That is its main dis tinction. Common germicides are poison when taken internally. That is why medicine has been so helpless in germ disease. Liquozone is exhilarating, yi- talking. purifying yet no disease germ can exist in it. tr4
 We purchased the American rights to Liquozone after thousands of tests had been made with it. Its power had been proved. again and again. in the most diff ficult germ diseases. Then we offered to supply the first bottle free in every dis ease that required 1t. And over one rnii-

PRESIDENT AND MRS. BAKER
BY MAMIE HARRIS WOODWARD.

The most graceful act that the Presi- dent performed while on his visit through the south was at Roswell, Ga, the birth place of his mother, when he called on Mrs. w. E. Baker, in her ancestral home, Harrington Hall.
 The little town of Roswell in all it's his tory never saw so much bunting or had quite so many flags floating in the breeze as it did on the day President Roosevelt and his party arrived within it's gates. Not a man, woman or child would have remained quietly at home that day for all the gold of Croecus They went to see the President. Mrs Baker let the Presi- dent come to ECO her.
 Harrington Hall displayed no wealth. ]. the glory of 1t departed with the last march of the soldiers through Georgia. The drapcries once gorgeous in their rich ness, scarcely bore a trace of their Tor lner beauty No liVeriod servants an- nounced tho distinguished guest, no pomp or ceremony attended his entry into the portals of the old mansion that stands in its crumbling grandeur monument to rye odcn day" of the southland, sacred in it's picturesqueness.
 It needed not wealth 10 characterize the woman within it's walls. Pure gold Is recognized whatever its environment, ana she d relic of the finest and Bentest CIV. ilizaton that the world has ever known, born of cavaliers and tho inheritor of a homage as knighty as chivalary could yield-this dame of the old, old south was born to know that the majesty which caused king to don his crown to her sex was her brthright, for in the golden era of Dixie land every maiden was prln- cess and every matron was wont 10 re- celve the homage of a queen.
 And Mrs. Baker, gentle, unruffed with the faintest trace of expectancy on her aristocratic face and q gleam of welcome in her eyes, sat within the drawing room of Harrington Hall, lighted by the glow ing and awaited the coming of him whom the whole of the south was hon- bring.

And he, the ruler of this glorious Amer ica, came when the sun was sinking in the western sea- came from amid the beat of drums, the welcoming shouts of all Roswell and it's neighbours, into the quiet sancity of Harrington Hall to be greeted by the name of Theodore" from the lips of the only person who would have dared to have been "lese majeste.'
 President Roosevelt as he bowed over the slender, withered band knew and hon ored this grand old lady for her pride and dignity. His conception of the stately customs of the old regime, the rules of which still govern Mrs. Bakers life, gained for him a more cordial grasp on the section of the country that claims as It's own this grand matron. who shines with silver radiance from out the mists of hNEone days

SHORTHAND SPEED.
Remarkable Demonstration of Prof.
 ciency in Stenoeraphic Art.

A remarkable demonstration of pro- ficiency in shorthand writing was given in the rooms of the Massey Business col lege Friday evening. when Raymond P. Kelley of Chicago. who has been appear Ing at the Alabama state fair in connec- tion with the Massey college exhibit dur ing the past week, entertained large audience by his clever work on the black board. Mr. Kelley, although a young man, has attained high degree of short hand skill, and last night exemplified his mastery of the Gregg system in way that entertained and instructed the students and stenographers and reporters present.
 Mir. Kelley wrote on the board with chalk from dictation of new matter by Prof. A. M. Bruce and Prof. A. M. Smith, at varying rates of speed, the best being at the rate of 26o words a minute, in each case transcrbing his notes with ease and remarkable acuracy. An in- teresting feature was the writing of new matter blndfolded, to illustrate not only the ability of the writer to do unusual stunts but also to show the simplicity of the system used. Writing upside down and backwards was also card on the programme, the transcribing being ac- curate in each case. The most unusual feature, however, was the recording of the Japanese language by the writer. The well known lecturer MT. Icyda dictated to MT. Kelley in Japanese and although the latter gentleman is entirely unfamiliar with that language he recorded the sounds In shorthand signs and translated them, although unable to tell their meaning in English MT. Icyda pronounced 1t an un- usually sldllful pieqe of work.
 Following the writing the demonstra- tor spoke few words to the writers of shorthand, emphasizing the necessity for thorough preparation for the work and calling attention to the great and grow ing demand for competent assistants in this line of work. He also paid high com pliments to the progressiveness and en- terprise of Birmingham.
 Prof. E. A. Ellis presided at the meet ing, and spoke few words in apprecia- tion of the demonstration of the writer and the method used

Tax Nations Resources.

Secretary Taft is the most powerful American that has visited these sons Of the tropics but the few hundred who are working on the canal tax the food resources of the nation. The native senor starts the day with a cigarette, a cup of coffee, d roll of bread the size of but not as paatable as a New England doughnut, and more cigarettes-ad libitum. With such nourishment for the physical man he is ready to either bask in the shade of a cocoanut grove or start a revolution and exterminate a few of his fellow countrymen. In fact, he is ready to take a hand in anything, except work.
 The inhabitants buy their meat by the yard, their potatoes by the pound, eggs in pairs rice by the bushel, and water by the quart. The varieties of food are linn ited and the country has no clever chefs or ingenious cooks to multiply toothsome dishes from the few edible things that can be grown. The native eats the same dish, cooked in the same style, served in the same way, and at the same hour. to- day as he did yesterday, as he did a year ago, as his ancestors did 250 years ago when the irst Spanish grandee was lured with his slaves from Spain by the tropical mirage of gold
 He is satisfied with life, for he knows no better. But to the American accus- | toned to restaurants where menus have more items than pocket dictionary, or genius of the kitchen range can present meat In different style for every day in the year, or disguise humble potatoes until the baffled diner cannot tell whether they are fowl or fish. meals in Panama lfttl

vIands Are a Nightmare.

Nightmares of tasteless boiled beef; un- ending fried plantain; hot, cold. and ques- tionable boiled rice, and seas of stewed black beans intrude on his sleeping hours Worst of all She awakes to confront the reality of his dream. The question of living becomes a long vista of monoto nous meals, and as 99.99 per cent of Amer leans live to eat, few have tarried long In Panama.
 The commodities which In the guse of food are given to the negro laborers on the canal are beyond description. Those American economists who claim to live on 71a cents or less per day are gour- mands in comparison with these laborers. The bioodiest riots the country has seen since tho old revolution days have already occurred on account Of the miserable food given to the negro laborers.
 When an immense feeding system is finally established it Is expected that for eigners can secure the necessities and even luXuries of board as easily In Pan- anna as il more civilized country But until then no stranger in the country from the humplest laborers at cents per hour to the most skillfu engineer with his thousands per year-wlll be in any other condition than one of smoldering mutiny
 The American government has come to a realization of the importance of this step and, much of the consternation of the robbing native innkeepers, promises eventually to feed every worker in the country. Every month since work was started on the canal has seen an increase in the price of board. Plain food which once could be secured for S20 per month is now s45 and 500. Part of this is ac- tually due to the fact that the hungry Americans have depleted the nations food supply, but much of the increase in price is caused by the natural avariciousness of the Spanish-American boniface
