KAISER ENDS .REICHSTAG
BILL FOR African
TROOPS BEATEN.
Chancellor Won Buelow, After Vigorous
But Futile Speech, Reads Decree
Dissolving Parliament.

Berlin, Dec. 14.-Emperor William
dissolved the reichstag Thursday and
ordered new elections, in consequence
OF the governments defeat, by ITS to
l68 votes. on the bill authorizing
what the ministry contends is an ad-
equate number of troops to end the
insurrection in German Southwest
Africa and hold the colony against
recurrence of the rebellion.
The clericals, socialists, Poles and
one wing Of the radicals, voted against
the government, while the conserva-
tives, national liberals and moderate
radicals supported the government.
When the vote was announced
chancellor Won Buelow read the i'm
perial message dissolving parliament.
The expectation that the chancellor
would speak and the possibility that
the government would be defeated and
that dissolution of parliament would
follow, filled the house, both the floor
and the galleries being crowded.
Seated next to the chancellor were
Interior Minister Won Posadowsky-
Wehner, Foreign Minister Tschirsky,
Treasurer Secretary Won Stengel and
Colonial Diractor Dernburg.
Herr SPAIN, the celerical leader, be-
gan the discussion of the supplement
tary budget, amounting to $7,35O,O00,
to meet the expenses of the war in
German Southwest Africa, which was
rejected by the appropriations COM
mittee December II. He reported on
behalf Of the majority of the appro-
priations committee that it was their
conviction that the number of German
troops in the colony could be reduced
to $500 men, although the government
and the general staff affirmed that
the present garrison, numbering 10000
| men, could not be cut below 5000
Herr SPAIN said he left the question
with the house
The chancellor replied that between
| now and January 4, 1000 men would
be brought home and that after Janu-
airy more troops would be recalled,
according to the military necessities,
but that to reduce the garrisons to
southern part Of the colony and would
greatly endanger the central and
northern parts, while German rule in
Africa would be imperiled by a re-
| newal of the insurrection in Southwest
Africa, which would spread beyond
| the frontier.
Continuing the chancellor said: "If
| we shrink from this last sacrifice we
| shall be guilty, in my opinion, of a
great national crime. l cannot believe
that the house will arrive at such a
fatal resolution, which would be
equally deplorable from financial, mil
itary, political and national points of
view. AS the responsible leader of the
affairs of the empire l would not be
able to sign such capitulation

Death of Carrier Pigeon Reveals Sad
Little Romance.

From the Lawton (Okla) Republican.
The text of unique little 10 nance has
Just been revealed by the discovery of
dead carrier pigeon by a prospector i'll
the Big Pasture. To the pigeons neck
was attached locket about the size of
silver dollar, and inside the locket were
two pictures, little note and slips of
paper continuing names presumed to he
those of whom the pictures were made.
The name and address beneath the picture
of the girl is Grace bolivar, 1857 Clark
street, Chicago. while the name beneath
the picture of the young man is Clarence
Packman. The note reads as follows:
Dear Clarence: This note may never
reach you who are SO far away in the
south, but you have neglected me so long
| am heartbroken, and fear that my days
on earth are few. God knows, Clarence,
| love you, and all during these long,
dreary weeks since you went away have
wondered why you never wrote. If by
any means this note should reach you |
hope that it will remind you of the little
girl whom you professed to love, and
whose life you have blighted.'
The pigeon must have flown from Chi
cago bearing the note, and the indications
are that the heartbroken girl dispatched
the bird to the southland in search of
the boy that deserted her. She is a fair

AS to Doctors and Medicine,

From the New York Herald.
"These doctors are enough to madden
one" observed the druggist as he grew
confidential with a friend who had
dropped in just before closing time at
night. whats the matter? IN tell you
what the matter Is. People accuse the
druggists of trying to run whole depart
ment stores instead of sticking to drugs.
Fact of the matter is, the doctors aren't
leaving them anything to do in the drug
business. That's an exaggeration, Of
course, but to speak seriously prescrip-
ton trade is comparatively a much less
important factor than it was a dozen or
SO years ago."
"People aren't taking so much dope into
their systems nowadays" suggested the
friend.
Partly that. partly that" said the
druggist but it's more because the doc
tors aren't leaving to the drug trade
what dope they do take. Been to doctor
lately? No? Well, if you had, the chances
ere that he'd have given you the medi-
cine himself instead of giving you a pre-
scription to bring here. Not all doctors
have got the habit, to be sure, but lots
of 'em give practically all the medicine
that they prescribe.
Because why?" Mostly because it
keeps patients for them. Suppose you
nave a prescription nlleu, ana IL does you
good. You know the symptoms of the
trouble you took it for, and If you hap
pen to feel that way again some time
you'd be quite as likely to get the pre-
scription filled again and doctor your
self to go to the physician But IL the
doctor gave you the medicine himself, you
have to skip along to him for new
supply. See? +Ns
ITS "A fine system for the doctors, but
II doesn't make the druggists any too
happy"
