to ST. Georges channel.
At daybreak on August IA the Brit
ish brig of war Pelican, which had
been sent to find the audacious Yam
kee, came upon the Argus just quitting
another prize. The advantage in size
and armament was on the British
side. After a short pursuit the battle
opened at six a. M, about Is miles
off st. David's, on the west coast of
Wales. The vessels ran side by side
within range of grapeshot and musket-
ry. Within five minutes Captain Allen
received the wound which cost him
his first leg and In few days his
life. He refused to be taken below,
but loss of blood soon so reduced him
that he was unable to continue in
command
The Pelican tried to pass under the
stern of the Argus, but was baked
in the attempt The Argus then
crossed her enemy's path, giving a
raking broadside, the poor aim of
which seems to have lost the Ameri-
cans their last chance of victory, for
by this time most of their rigging
was shot away and the vessel soon
became unmanageable, the Pelican
working around her at will. In that
helpless situation the Argus surrend-
cred, after an engagement of little
over three-quarters of an hour The
British loss was two killed and five
wounded; the American loss was six
killed and II wounded, of whom
five afterward died. Naval author
tiles ascribe the American defeat
to the disparity Of force and poor
craftsmanship. The latter is partly
to be accounted for by the previous
busy month of prize taking, which
had closed with the capture of one
the night before and another near
morning, leaving the crew fatigued
and unfit for a spirited defense.

Every Sufferer.
Nobody who has not endured the

nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as we'll as neu-

A LAND PRODUCING
TWO CROPS PER YEAR
Marvelously Rich: Enormous Yield;
Farmers Flocklng In.

Brownsville, Tex, Feb. 5.-Browns-
vile is the southern terminus of the
st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail
way. This line was completed in 1904,
and has opened up to development
section Of the richest and most pro-
ductive land to be found anywhere in
the United States-California not eX-
cepted.
There is no more fertile region in
all this broad land of ours than that be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande.
None will produce greater variety of
fruits and vegetables, or produce them
more abundantly; and what counts for
more, the Gulf coast country will pro-
duce them at times when no other re-
gion can. Two crops per year of the
staple vegetables is the regular pro-
gramme. And yet up to the fall of
1904 comparatively little was known
of this marvellous fertility. The re-
sion has heretofore been given over
to cattle raising-ranches of thousands
lof acres-thus tying up all this vast
natural Winter Vegetable Garden" un-
der the merciless hoof of Texas beef
producers.
But this is all changing and chang
ing fast. Eastern and northern farm
ers and fruit growers are flocking into
this country. Towns are springing up
ranches have been cut up into farms
on every hand is the evidence of a
new era of prosperity and of develop
ment along the line of extensive irri.
gated farming.
There is an underlying sheet of
clear artesian water which has been
tapped by hundreds of wells, and more
are being sunk daily. This provides
never-failing source of supply for the
one element needed to make this coun-
try a veritable garden, and there are
those who predict great things for this
Gulf coast of Texas. / am advised
that 16 car loads of people were
brought down from different points
along the st. Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico railway by the Rock Island
trains alone on January Is, which was
the date of a low-rate excursion.
At this pace the country bids fair
to be peopled in short order. And all
it needs is people.

Emmy Tnnthache Cures.

Before the days Of dentists and when
people generally believed in the value
of charms there were ever so many
mysterious ways Of preventing tooth
ache. one Of these was TO dress the
right side OF the body tirst-right stock
ing, right shoe, right sleeve, right glove.
\ favorite plan in Scotland was y

Cornwall many save their teeth by

The custom of catching a common
ground mole, cutting off the paws while
the little creature still lives and wear
ing them is traced to StnffordShire,
England. Some people who are fond
of exercise believe that walking twelve
miles-no more, no less-to get a splin-
ter of the toothache tree will drive
away the worst ache and pain that
ever tortured poor tooth The belief
that toOthache is caused by a worm at
the roots is prevalent in many parts of
the world; hence this cure: Reduce
several different kinds of herbs-the
greater variety the better-to a pow
der. Put Il glowing cinder into this
powder and inlisle the incense. After
ward breathe into cup of water and
the worm will be gone forever.

solutely no endowment or permanent

private, this institute, with its 40 stu
dents, has been acquired and equipped
throughout, until now it represents
$250,0O0 worth of property held in
trust. To make the matter seemingly
still more inexplicable, it may be
stated that no charge for tuition is

The story of the work is best told
perhaps. in the words of the pastor
and founder, Rev Charles H. Prid

says: For eight years before the
work was started there had been pray
