The Ideal Family Laxative.

Il one that can be used by the entire
family. young and old. weak and
strong. without any danger OF harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect. otherwise the
quantity viii have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether These
properties can be found In that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts. and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been In use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

Uncsnny Chinese Legend.

casting of the bell in the former there
is this legend: There had been two
unsuccessful attempts and the life OF
the founder was threatened in case of
third failure. His daughter discov-
cred by occult means that nothing but
the blood of virgin mingled with
the molten metal would insure sue
cess. So at the next casting she sac
rificed her life by throwing herself
into the molten. metal, leaving only
one shoe behind The casting was
perfect But when the bell was first
struck 'all were horrorstricken as.
after the heavy boom of the bell,
came low wall, as of girl in ag

shoe. And to this day people when
they hear 1t, say, There's poor Ko-ai's

MutIny of Five Hundred British Sail
ors at Portsmouth.

Portsmouth, Eng.-A mutinous out
break of 500 sailors Monday night
necessitated the immediate mobiliza
ton of the entire force in the naval
barracks here to prevent the affair
from developing into serious mutiny.
The men had assembled in the gymna-
stun when a senior officer, a man OF
short stature, wishing to administer a
reprimand for breach of discipline,
ordered the front ranks to kneel SO
that he could see the men in the rear.
The order was resented and some OF
the sailors who ref, lea 70 obey were
arrested. Their comrades, aggrieveo,
ran amuck, wrecked The canteen and
started to break out of barracks, with
the intention of wrecking the quarters
of the obnoxious ofIicsr, and were only
from so dong by the fixed
bayonets of an overwhelming force.

NO GOOD FOR FARMER.
Manufacture of Denatured Alcohol is
Not Profitable on Small Scale.

NOT Profitabe on Small Scale.
Washington.-Th department OF
agriculture, through DR.. H. F. Wiley,
has undertaken to educate the farm
ers regarding the manufacture of de-
natured alcohol Two bulletins have
been issued devoted to a description
of the sources from which industrial
or denatured alcohol may be OBJ
tanned, the method of manufacture.
and some uses to which it may be put.
From DR.. Willey's discussion of the
subject the conclusion is reached
that the manufacture of alcohol on a
small scale is not likely to prove
profitable. Because of the regulations
under which the farmer would be re-
quired to conduct his still if he en-
gagged in the manufacture, it is evil
dent that he must be content with
producing the raw materials and that
he cannot look forward to becoming
practical distiller.

And, springing up, with strength renewed
The struggle to endure,
They ne'er gave up until at length
They gained footing sure.
Then step by step, and round by round,
They sturdily progressed;
Each barrier was dashed away
As upward still they pressed.
And oft, when toilworn, faint and weak,
Then from the unseen choir
Would come, in chorus full and strong:
There's room for you up higher"
1t filled their souls with courage new,
And gave them strength to win,
Until they reached the place they sought,
Above the strife and din.
The crowd below, who saw them rise,
Bewailed the adverse fate
Which held them down while others rose
To fill such high estate.
It never seemed to dawn on them
The fault could lie within;
That bold success ne'er waits on those
Who have no will to win.
And when, in after waking hours,
My dream came back to me-
/ thought the lesson it conveyed
Was plain and clear to see.
For those with spirit true and brave.
Who better things aspire:
Remember that, wher'er you stand,
There's always room up higher"

GSY0 WENT last night to the land of
lMI dreams,
ks@k CO.. That mystic, silent land,
lEN@I With mountains high and crystal
streams
And castles tall and grand.
An eager, anxious throng l saw
Upon a spreading plain,
All rushing on, in eager haste,
The sefsame goal to gain
/ looked, and, 10! ladder rose
Above the din and strife,
And looking still. n read these words:
"This is the scale of life"
And now / watched the surging crowd,
Each struggling, oft in vain.
Upon that crowded lower round
A footing TO obtain.
Twas strange to see the many who
One effort forth would put,
And then fall back, content to lie
And grovel at the foot.
But some l saw whose dauntless Will
No rude repulse could stay
Who grew more strong, with each defeat,
To push their upward way.
A voice that came from lips unseen
Their courage would inspire.
This seemed the burden OF the song:
