The City of Great Britain.

Unless we command the sea we can
not keep open the roads by which our
people are fed. Britain has In effect
ceased to be country. She Is now,
considered from the political and mill
tary point Of view. city, though a
city with very large parks and pleas
aunces and kitchen gardens in which
to grow her flowers, fruits and vege-
tables. A city, from the point Of view
Of war, may be described as a place
which If besieged long enough must
fall, since supplies once consumed can
net be replenished. Britain answers to
this description. The moment the SCI,
roads to her are closed by an enemy
Ehe is, ipso facto, in a state Of siege.
Face to face with a need so imminent,
1t would be madness for us to give
any consideration to what we hope or
believe are the intentions Of this or
that foreign power. All that we can
rightly do in considering how to secure
our national safety and independence
is to count ships and guns and to COM
pute the units of naval efficiency

1t is rank foolishness to ATTEMPT
TO remove sallowness or gre.siness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics
or "locaP' treatment, as advocated
oy the beauty doctors" The only
sale and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion. It also cures constj-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

A German Wedding Custom,

In Germany what is known as a
pay wedding is occasionally cele-
brated, at which the bride receives
her guests with basin before her,
and each person entering puts jew
Ell. silver spoon OF piece of mon
ey in it. In some parts of Germany
the rule is that the expenses of the
marriage feast shall be met by each
guest paying for what he eats or
drinks. The prices paid for v1ands
and drinks are high. and the young
couple often make q handsome pro-
At out Of their wedding, realizing q
sum quite sufficient to start them
nicely in life. Some times as many
as 800 guests are present at such
weddings.

The Sultan and FsefcrrYi.

Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey al
ways expresses the greatest astonisn-
ment when told that reforms have nor
been carried out, and declares that 1t
is the fault Of his ministers and other
subOrdinates who have neglected to
obey his orders. He then promises
that there will be no further delay,
always expresses profound sorrow and
modification that any one should sus-
pect him of insincerity. Nothing hap
pens. The ambassadors go again and
again to the sublime porte and are
told that their wishes will be immed :
ately complied with. They know that
they are simply being played with, and
that the promises of the sultan are ir-
tended to delay action and to avoid 1t

Names Indians Have Left Us.

In the United States we find "In-
dian" names in profusion from ocean
to ocean. All the great lakes except
Superior, the largest rivers-Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas
and countless other natural feat
ures, such as rivers, lakes, mountains
and valleys, bear names of Indian
origin. So do a majority OF our
States, to say nothing of counties and
towns. Many are of striking beauty,
as, for instance, Tippacanoe, Mime
haha, Susquehanna, Alabama-and
while some are harsh, they seem
somehow to fit" remarkably well.

Summer residents on and near the
shores Of Lake Minnetonka are at
loss every season to know to which of
the larger centers Of rural free delivery
routes is their, postoffce address. To
obviate this difficulty, the Minneapolis
postoffice has prepared list Of sslo-

ing hotels on and about the lake, with
the name Of the rural free delivery
postoface from which they are supplied
with mail. 20
The Minnetonka postoffces are Crys-
tai Bay, formerly Markville;> Deep
haven, Eureka, Excelsior Long Lake,
Minnetonka Beach, Mound, st. Bont
facius, Spring Park, Tonka, Minnie
tonka, Wayzatas Woolnough and Vic
toria. To secure rural free delivery Of
mail at any one Of these places it is
necessary to erect box, of design
approved by the postofice department,
where the carrier may conveniently de-
post mail, the box to be located on
the road travelled by the carrier at a
point convenient Of access from the
place of residence.

TICKET BROKERS TO

Local ticket brokers will not be al.

national G. A. r. encampment unless
the plans Of County Attorney Al j.
Smith and the grand jury miscarry.
Nathan Nathanson, Max Levy and
Ed Cullen were arraigned before Judge
II. D. Dickinson today on indictments
charging them with selling railway
transportation without being licensed
by the secretary of state. ALL pleaded
not guilty and bail was fixed at 5000
in each case. The amount was fur
nished.
On an appeal from a recent convic-
tion on the same charge, the lower
court was sustained and the law held
constitutional. Former Governor John
Lind has now moved to nolle the old
indictments on the ground that theslaw
of 1905 has no saving clause that allows
the prosecution to proceed under the
old law County Attorney Smith con
tends that the indictments are good and
that the United States supreme court
has passed upon the points raised.
