A Hero OF Dundee.


Today Sandy Mitchell is a cripple
and totally blind. but he is loved and
cared for, as every brave and helpless
hero should be. One evening a few
years ago as two men were approach
ing the town of Dundee on foot they
suddenly noticed a small cottage stand
ing back from the wayside evidently
on fire Smoke was Issuing from the
windows and open door. but no one
was in sight
The two men hurried forward. By
the time they reached the cottage door
the roof was alight Rushing through,
they stumbled across the PROSTATE
form Of a woman with a child in her
arms. One man lifted the unconscious
woman and child and bore them out;
the other groped his way into the living
room. where he was quickly Joined by
his companion.
The room was empty, and they made
their way to the floor above, whence,
they reasoned, the woman and child
had come, and there, in the low cottage
chamber, stood a mar supporting upon
his shoulders a burning beam that
glowed and famed as he struggled to
keep it from falling upon the bodies Of
two little children lying in the cot be-
meath.
"The bairns" gasped the man when
he perceived their presence.
The men snatched the little ones from
their perilous position and together they
led the poor, great hero to the open ala.

Moorish Temerity Goes Beyond
Depressing French Subjects
and Boycotting Markets
FRANCE MUST DEFEND HERSELF
Il Is Hoped, However, That by the
Exercise of Great Forbearance, a
Conflict May Be Avoided-situation
Becomes Grave, AS Result of tho In.
reference Of Germany.

London. Nov. 7.-Altho the reports
which reach Europe from Morocco, es-
pecially those dealing with events in
remote frontier districts, are meager
in the extreme. it is fairly we'll known
now in diplomatic and military circles
that trouble has been brewing for some
time on the Algerian frontier.
The impression instilled into the
minds of the Moors by German inter
ference in Morocco that they might
flout France with impunity was by no
means dissipated by the result OF the
Algeciras conference. The insolent
bearing, the provocative acts of chiefs
the south and east, according to alb
solutely reliable reports, are becoming
more undesirable every day, especially
since it was found that the only re-
talitory measure taken by France, the
closing of the Algerian frontier in GER
tain districts to Moorish goods, was
not strictly enforced
breaches "Holy War;
But Moorish temerity has lately
gone beyond the boyeotting of French
markets and the oppression of French
subjects. According to report made
by General Liautey, commanding the
Ain Sefra division, to the French war
office, Muley Abu, a cousin Of the sui
tan, has announced that the recent
ENrey oh r>rnbjhifinr, will at N i'm
from continuing to preach a holy wary
against France. He has succeeded in
settling local quarrels and in recruiting
a force in all the southern region as
far as the Atlantic, and is establishing
base of operations at Wady CHR.
General Liautey is kept informed Of
what is going on by the Benz Chill, a
semi-nomad tribe which lives, as 1t
We're, with one foot in French and the
other in Moorish territory.
Situation is Grave.
The tribe has been ordered to quit
French soil under pain of the confisca-
ton of its possessions in Morocco, and
OF join in the holy war" General
Liautey has asked for authorization to
take what measures he considers nee
essary for the protection of the FROM
tier, but the French home government
is still hesitating, fearing to reawaken
the old Moroccan controversy.
The seriousness of the situation Is
admitted at the French foreign office,
and it is recognized that France must
defend herself against armed agrees
sion, but 1t is hoped that by the exer-
else of great forbearance conflict
may be avoided. Indeed, it can be stat
ed on the best authority that the
French government, in it's anxiety to
prevent crisis which might again be
made use of by political intrighers
hostile to France, is prepared to
stretch its forbearance beyond what,
considering the immensely of French
interests in northwest Africa, many
people may consider to be reasonable
limits.

Hunor ana Philosophy
By DUNCAN M. SMITH
DOWN TO BUSINESS.

1t matters not how we crate
About cause that we are booming
And on its merits loudly pirate.
Great bales of heated air consuming.
And, be it politics or art
Or something else for which we holler,
The cause that's closest to our heart
Is one that brings us in dollar.
Aloft in realms on high we soar.
About the future specializing,
And theories deep we ponder Ger,
Their merits carefully debating.
But when we open up our vest
And tell the searcher to go through us
He'll find the fad that suits us best
Is one that brings the money to US.
We talk about the simple life
And everything In that connection
In fact we argue with our wife
That 1t is good for the complexion.
In every way we figure out
That 1t Is better than the other,
And then we turn and think about
How we can do a man and brother.
We plan to push reform along,
To hand a knockout blow to error,
To take q crack at every wrong
And be the evildoers terror,
And then we see dollar note
And drop our hobby to pursue It,
Toss off our necktie and our coat
Lest Some one else should beat us
to It.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inf1amed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

INHERITANCE TAX UPHELD.
Milwaukee Court Rules Pabst Estate
Must Pay ION 100000.

Must Fay ION Y4,UUU,uUU.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 6. - Judge
Carpenter gave his decision Monday
in the Pabst inheritance case, in which
he, finds for the state. This means the
Pabst estate will be obliged to pay in
heritance tax on s4.O0O,O00 stock in the
Pabst Brewing Company transferred to
the heirs of Captain Fred Pabst, a
short time before his death.
1t was held by the state that the
transfer of stock was made by Captain
Pabst in contemplation of death and
was therefore taxable.
Sees No Tax Evasion.
Judge Carpenter upholds this con-
tention, qualifying his decision. how
ever, by saying that this does not nee
essarily mean that the transfer was
made with the intention of evading the
tax
Judge Carpenter divides the propo-
sition submitted to him into four parts
as follows:
1. Do the gifts of stock to the book
value of $4,OOO,OOO made by Captain
Pabst on July II, 1903, fall under sub
division 8 of section l of the transfer
tax act imposing tax upon the
transfer of property by gift, made in
contemplation of the death Of the dom
or or intended to take effect in possess
sion or enjoyment at or after such
death?"
2. What items not included in the
original inventory must be inventoried?
8. What was the fair market value
at the time of Captain Pabst's death
of the various assets referred to?
A. The payment on account of the
tax being confessedly insufficient, do
the legatees therefore lose the discount
which they claimed by making such
partial payment within year, and be-
sides that have they to pay interest on
this $5S,714.72 as we'll as on the bal
ance Of the tax from the time of Cap
tain Pabst's death because of their fall
ure to pay the whole within eighteen
months of his death?
Fixes Market Value.
He answers the second question by
specifying in detail the items that
should be included in the inventory
and the third question he answers in
like manner, giving the fair market
value of the assets.
The fourth question is answered by
holding that the state. having accept
ed the partial payment of $5S,71472
can not now claim the prescribed pen
atty. The unpaid portion of the in
heritance tax, however, is held to be
subject to the legal penalty of 10 per
cent, charging it from Jan. l, 1904.
