STOLE COURT ROOM CLOCK.
One Story That Hongkong Doesnt
Like TO Tell Against Itself.

Like to Tell Against Itself.
"There is one story of Hongkong
that has never been told in this coun'
try" said the man from the tropics,
"and I guess that's because Hong.
kong has always been ashamed to let
the story get out. For If ever the laugh
was on a whole community it settled
upon that damp village the time the
coolies went to the court house to fiji
the clock.
"Hongkong prides itself on its mu'
nicipal buildings, particularly upon
the Hall of. Justice. Over on the wall
opposite where the Justices bench Is
there used to be a fine marble clock
an immnese affair.
whenever tourists visited the Hall
of Justice the big Sikh at the entrance
used to call particular attention to
that marble clock. 1t was his pride,
and one of his chief joys of duty was
to wind it every week. !
mot very long ago when court was
sitting two Chinese coolies dressed az
mechanics presented themselves be-
fore the ten foot ladder between them
The Sikh stopped them. !
Gale Ii; fxum clock pidgin,' said
one of the coolies, and the big Indian
admitted them.
"They went right over to the wall
under the clock, hoisted their ladder
noiselessly, and with due Difference
to the majesty of the law, represented
by the Justice on his woolsack across
the room, took that marble clock down
from it's ~fastenings. Then they
trotted out of the court room, one
carrying the clock and the other
shouldering the ladder.
"The reason why Hongkong will
never tell this story on itself is that
no more was ever seen either of the
coolies or the marble clock."-NeW

Murder Figures.

Some interesting statistics have
been gathered lately regarding crime.
They show that there is an alarming
increase In the number of murders as
the a go by. In 1894 there were
three times as many murders in the
ratio Of population as there were
twenty years ago. From 1885 to 1905
there were 131,951 murders and homi-
cides. During the last nine months
New York and Chicago had a murder
every two days, San Francisco every
four days, Philadelphia and st. Louis
every five days. Kansas City one every
seven days, Boston n in twenty
three days, Milwaukee one in sixty
days, and st. Paul one in ninety-one
lays.
Intemperance is assigned as the
chief cause of the taking Of life. In
comparison with Germany it is found
that during 1904 there were 104 homi-
cides a million in this country, as
against i've a million In the Kaiser's
land. During that year 95.15 percent
Va bnC@O d4VU AOI luuIuCK were cOU-

URGES HIGHER DOG TAX.
DR.. Peters Takes Strong Stand Against
Present Dog Management.

DR.. Peters Takes Strong Stand Against
Present Dog Management.
In his semi-annual report to the
state board of agriculture, DR.. Austin
Peters, state cattle commissioner,
takes a strong position against the
present dog management in Massachu-
sets.
IF the persons who have suffered
and died, those who have had to take
the Pasteur treatment. and their anx-
ious and afflicted families and friends
could have their way" he says, "this
outbreak of rabies would be brought
to a speedy termination by bringing
to an end a system of dog manage
ment that has driven the sheep in
dustry from Massachusetts and allows
this privileged species of domestic an
imal to prowl around destroying hui
man life and domestic animals and
fowls.
"The dog should be a luxury and
not a necessity, the tax upon him
should be higher, at least SIS for a
male Or spayed female and $40 for
an unspayed female, and there should
be no kennel tax as at present.
Owners of dogs should be COM
PEELED to keep them on their own
premises, or when on the street they
should be kept in leash.
I'm some quarters there seems to be
more sympathy for the dog and more
people to stand up for his rights than
there are people to sympathize with
the victim of his bites, Dr. to stand up
for the rights of holders of other
property."-Boston Transcript.

What we are trying to do is. not to
restrict freedom, contends the Indian
apolis News, but to widen 1t; not 20
destroy competition, but to make 1t pre-
vail. The trusts object not so much
because it confers power on the state,
as because 1t takes power away from
them. And the question is whether the
power to Cypress shall be greater than
the power to prevent oppression. We
may as we'll make up III minds that
we can not stop abuses unless we are
willing to give the state-which Is our
selves-the power to do SO. We can
not fight without weapons. We can
not enforce laws which are incapable
of being enforced.

MISS MARGARET e N

A large proportion of the operations
performed in our hospitals are upon
women and girls for some organic
trouble.
Why should this be the case
Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
In the hospital beds had plenty OF
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
backaches, nervous exhaustion, in
Illumination, liberation, displace-
ments. and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are indica-
lions of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not needed the
penalty has to be paid by a dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera
tion-but remember that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs, has saved
hundreds of women from surgical
operations.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. has cured more cases of
feminine ills than any other one
remedy. Such letters as thefollowing
