There are hundreds OF thousands
OF people all over this blessed coun-
try of ours who have been cured OF
obstinate, chronic diseases through
the use OF DR.. Pierce's Medicines anC
ii is only natural that such people
should rise up and speak their SEN
timents pretty freely when DR.
Pierce and his medicines are so I'M
justly attacked.
These grateful patients OF DR.
Pierce are to be found in almost
every hamlet and country village,
and in the farmhouses and mecfan-
les cottages in every nook and cor
ner OF this great country. Common
gratitude prompts such people to
stand up and defend DR.. Pierce and
his medicines against unjust and
malicious attacks.
DR.. Picrce's Medicines have been
on sale i'll drug stores all over this
country and i'll many foreign lands
for more than forty years, and yet
their sale continues to grow in a
substantial and most gratifying way.
This could not be the case if they
were not remedies OF more than or

the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor

Hamburg Strike Still On.

HAMBURG, April 12.-The hopcd-for
settlement of the stevedores strike and
lockout has been frustrated BY the Harbor
Traffic Union, which, at a meeting held
yesterday. rejected the conditions formu-
lated by the stevedores.
These embrace the repatriation of the
foreign 'longshoremen within fortnight
after the resumption of work by the na-
tives; an agreement to work with men,
union men; an agreement in times OF nor
NAL relations between employers and en-
ployes: to abstain from warning outside
'longshoremen against coming to Hamburg
or molesting incomers; a change of shift
adopted.
The decision of the Harbor Union leaves
the lockout in full force and makes the
prospect of a settlement more remote than
ever.

The party was evidently expected The
news that Princess Martha had determined
to place herself in his hands had been
quickly carried to Vasilici and with a few
of his leading men he was seated in front
of long wooden shed when his captive
was brought into the hollow. His arm was
morose and fierce, although a grin of salts
faction lightened his face for moment
when he saw the trim. youthful figure and
knew that the cause of his bandaged arm
was now in his power. Perhaps in the back
of his mind he had already begun to devise
fitting tortures for his enemy. During the
long march Martha had pictured this mo-
ment, and had determined how to act; but
the real scene was rather different from the
picture she had imagined AS the men who
had brought her fell back leaving her alone,
with Anton a few PAGES behind her. she
glanced round at the crowd and said:
(which among you is Vasilici?"
His appearance sufficiently marked him
out from his companions, but Martha was
quick to perceive that there was a half
concealed smile on the faces of some of the
men near him when she pretended not to
recognize him. Perhaps Vasiici saw the
smile, too, for, although his face darkened,
he answered the question without any sud-
den outburst of anger.
"Greetng," said Martha. 81 would be
seated while 1 talk. The journey which I
have undertaken into these hills has been a
hurried one over rough road; and, besides,
1t is not usual for a sovereign to stand in
the presence of her subjects"

found an echo among many of his follow
ers, but not all. Even while he laughed. and
before he could say word to prevent it.

rough stool beside Martha.
