cency of an open slave market. AL
though it is denied that there is
such a market to-day the trade eX-
lists and fourishes. Cargoes from
Africa are run precariously and as
speculation. The slave trade
from the interior of Arabia, on the
other hand, is prosecuted unosten-
tatiOusly either in markets outside
the town or in the houses of brok-
ers within the walls. Since the
late revolt in the Yemen this trade
has increased greatly, and the price
of slaves has gone down. Families
that were once Well-to-do have had
their homes destroyed and their
lands ravaged, and as a consequence
have sold their children. The man
or woman for sale is usually black,
or what may practically be describ-
as such, but at the present moment
many in the market are of the very
fair type. All bonor is due to the
consuls who prevent an open slave
market IN Jeddah, but the limited
authority which is theirs does not
empower them to forbid similar
practices outside the walls.

Touring the South to FamiIiarize
Themselves With Labor Features.
A party of British spinners who are
in this country to study conditions in
the cotton belt, have visited Atlanta
The Britains came to America for the
express purpose of attending con-
vention of cotton manufacturers which
is to be held in Washington next
month In the meantime they are now
making tour of the south to famil-
iarize themselves with the labor of
preparing the great staple for the
market. They have expressed the
opinion that the cotton sent to Eng
land is not properly handled, and will
doubtless make some recommendation
to the Washington convention along
this line. The visitors also represent
a syndicrte of Englishmen which pro-
poses to purchase vast tracts of land
in the south for the purpose of rails
ing cotton for British use. The land
is to be cultivated by English colo
nists. just what report the spinpers
will make regarding this proposition

ECONOMICAL LIVING.
Single Hat and Coat Served Curatt
Forty-Three Years.

Single Hat and Coat Served Curate
Forty-Three Years.
The poor congressman who are com
planning of how hard it it to live on
So, 900 year should consider the case
of the Rev. Morgan Jones. For for
ty-three years he was curate in Berk-
shire, England, and it is said that dur
ing all that time single coat and hat
served him. The tails were used in
patching other parts of the coat until
it was at last converted, by that pro-
cess, into jacket with patch for al
most every day in the year. The hat
was repaired from time to time with
the head covering of a scarecrow. His
one and only shirt was renovated, like
the coat, from its tails, and by the time
he had to part with his stockings the
earnings to which they had been SUBJ
iected left no thread of the original
pair. For the last twenty years of his
life his household expenses never ex-
ceeded half crown a week. His menu
was limited to bread and bacon and
tea, and half quartern loaf lasted
him a week. He lived on his fees and
saved his income of ESQ year, while
subscribing literally to religious So
cieties and giving many pound to
his needy Pensioners.
Then there was the Rev. Alexander
Naughley, of Cumberland, from whose
example some cheer might be had for
the hard worked and poorly paid con-
gresham. Mr.. Naughley's income
was IS 15s year. He lived alone,
slept on bed of straw and cooked his
own food, and never failed to present
a respectable appearance to the world,
while not a word of complaint ever
passed his lips.
But Speaker Cannon says the con-
gresham should have $751; year.

STARTLING EFFECT OF DECISION
United States Supreme Court Renders
Null Thousands OF Divorces.

United States Supreme Court Renders
Null Thousands OF Divorces.
The Chicago Tribune prints a
Washington dispatch to the effect that
the recent decision of the supreme
court on the divorce question will
"tear open thousands of divorces
which are supposed binding on all
parties. 1t will dissolve all marriages
made by parties to such divorces af-
terward, all children of such mar
riages will be illigetimate and unable
to inherit property from such parents.
The decision in its simplest form is
"that no court can grant valid di
vorce unless the defendant is person
ally within the jurisdiction of such
court, or unless the offense for which
divorce is granted is committed
within such Jurisdiction.

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce,s
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned in 9Golden Medical Discovery" in
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach. as in the early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
g!!ycerine acts as a valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherry bark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
OF the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarsenesS. In acute coughs it is
not so effective. It is in the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even

STATE LANDS IN
CASS COUNTY
To Be Sold April 10 and
Lively Bidding is
Expected.

Cass Lake, Feb. 13The sale
of state lands located in Cass
county will be held at Walker on
Friday, April Is, and since the
notice to that effect has been
issued by the state auditor, there
have been received many in
quiries as to the nature of the
land as to it's fitness for agri-
cultural, grazing and other pur-
poses. and it's relative location to
cities and villages. Anticipating
this demand for information, the
Commercial club of Walker has
appointed Charles KenkIe, mayor
of Walker, M. j. Guam, register
of deeds. and P. II. McGarry of
Walker, a com mittee to prepare
enlightenment and send the same
broadcast over the country. AS
Cass Lake is almost entirely sur
rounded by the forest reserve
lands, there is very lite of the
land that will be offered for sale
on April Is that is in any manner
contiguous to the place. To the
east Of Cass Lake, near Ball CLUB,
a small station on the Eastern
Minnesota railway, in town LA,

is considered fairly good soil,
and has been carefully gone over
by many experienced cruisers
and others looking for land,
Most Of the remainder Of the
land offered for sale is south of
the village Of Walker, a consider
able portion being located close
to Lothrop, and east and south
of that place. There is much Of
the land that is very desirable,
and there have been numbe Of
intending purchasers from Iowa
and southern Minnesota who
have looked over the land. From
present indications, there will be
some lively bidding for the land
when offered on April ID, and the
state will undoubtedly realize a
neat sum out Of the sale.
