AN EVIL SHADOW
Story of a Man Haunted
Thirty Years.
How He was Saved IOm Fate that
Might Well be Called a
Living Death is Told
Below.

To be rid of the long agony that
belongs to an unnatural appetite Gull
tivated by years of indulgence and
that cries out from every tortured
nerve in the body when an effort IS
made to rob it of the usual stimulant,
is a joy that must be experienced fully
to be appreciated. Some idea may
be gathered of this state, however,
from the following Ger time tale:
1t is always my pleasure to say
good word for the Kelley Institute,
for. having been carried to it when al
most a hopeless wreck, when family
and friends had about despaired Of
my ever being able to conquer the
savage thirst for drink. which thirty
years of continuous drinking had
brought me to, | am sure that there is
not one Of the great number who
have been benefited by the treatment
better qualified than myself to ex-
press a conclusive opinion of what
it has done for myself and others.
1t has been two years since L left
the keeley Institute, and at no time
during that period have | ever craved

time when / was the least afraid OF

sions before taking the Keeley Treat

and had even joined the church,
thinking that would aid me in my
resolution, but the old desire for
whiskey was continually with me, and

/ found that it was my master in every
sense of the word. If a man could
and would. only stop and think what
great trouble he causes his wife and
family. the modification he brings to
his friends. and in fact see himself
before taking the Kelley Treatment;
and then see himself afterwards when
he is a new man, both in feeling and
appearance, / feel sure that there Is
not one who would hesitate to take
the treatment. Many men have told
ne that they had rather hang them
selves than to stop drinking under
iuch circumstances: that they almost
considered ii a disgrace to take the
treatment; that they could stop with
out it: yet they were never able of
themselves to do it. and were finally
prevailed upon TO go. They went and

GERMLNYS SEA POWER.

The German government proposes to
considerably increase its navy and II ap-
pears that the policy has the approval OF
the ruling elements OF the people that
IL, the financial, manufacturing and com
mercial classes. A late issue of the con-
sular reports gives a declaration on the
subject made by the Chamber Of Com
merce of Dortmund, IN which 1t Is said
that a strong navy, commanding respect,
is demanded by the large majority OF the
German people. II is further said that
the conviction gains ground that under
the present world conditions a nation
can only maintain its independence, pro-
! tect its interests and attain far-reaching
aims through sea power, Statesmen
and diplomats says the declaration OF
these commercial men, may judge
whether public opinion in this connec-
ton is right, but we, who have the inter
ests OF commerce, the industries and sea
traffic IN charge, emphatically declare
that purely sober, economic reasons urge
the creation OF a navy commanding re-
spect-that is, the increase and rapid de-
velopment OF our war fleets"
This is in entire ACCORD with the view
Of the government, whose program for
naval enlargement is understood 20 be

ANOTHER STEp roWARp PEACE.

The appointment by Russia and Japan
Of two peace plenipotentiaries each is
another important step toward peace. II
Is stated that these representatives Of
the two governments will meet in Wash
ington about the beginning Of next
month and that they will have full au-
| thority TO negotiate a permanent treaty
Of peace 1t appears that the japanese
| government insisted upon the plenipoten-
tiaries being given this power, instead Of
meeting for a merely tentative consid-
Grafton OF terms that might be proposed,
and that this requirement on the part Of
Japan had the support of President
Roosevelt upon whose representations
the Russian government was induced to
accede. Consequently when the repre-
sentatives Of the belligerents meet in
conference It will be for the specific pur-
pose OF negotiating a treaty and not
simply to talk over terms.
In the meantime there Is uncertainty
as 10 whether an armistice can be ar
ranged in advance OF the meeting of the
peace conference It is understood that
active efforts are being made 10 effect
cessation OF hostilities pending the
discussion Of peace terms, but there
seems to be doubt whether this can be

For, 10! she cometh now
with hope on The lip and pride on the brow
Stronger, and dearer, and talrer,
To smile on the love We bear her
To live as we dreamed her ana sought her
Liberty's latest daughter!
In the olefts Of the rocks in the secret
We found her traces;
on the hills in the crash OF the woods this
We heard her call;
When the line Of battle broke,
We saw her face in the fiery smoke;
Through toll, and anguish, and desolstIor,
We followed, and found her
With the grace Of yirgin nation
Who shall rejoice
with a righteous voice,
Far-heard through the ages, II not she?
For the menace is dumb that defied her
The doubt is dead that denied her,
And she stands acknowledged, and strong.
and free.

To write eternal words on granite pages;

And man his manhood by the Ganges
