opening exercises of the jamestown ter

the unfinished condition of buildings and

any way with the celebration of the three
hundredth anniversary of the first English
settlement in America. From the firing

when panic seized the surging throng of
spectators.

Burning Ashes With Coal.

The remarkable secret of burning
ashes with coal which was discovered
by John Gilmore, the Altoona, Pa. cob
bier and which excited attention all over
the world when 1t was announced, has
been rediscovered by a number of
chemists who made the secret public
through the columns of New York
paper
J. II. Krum OF this city and George
Hamer. janitor of the Kimbell block
saw the article in the paper and decided
to give 1t trial, so a quantity of the
solution was mixed and il was poured
on mixture Of two bushels Of ashes
and two shovels Of coal. At the time
that II was placed in the furnace there
was no steam up, but in less than half
an hour the guage showed six pounds
OF steam. This was done at 10 o'clock
ana AT the same time the other boiler
was taken care Of for the day. Since
10 O'Clock there had been - shoveIfuls
OF coal thrown on the second furnace
hut the first one is still burning ashes.
and Mr.. Hamer said in his opinion the
tlre ashes could be made to produce more
heat than the coal FIRE The solution

II proves successful there will be an awful
run on the oxalc market.
The solution is composed of common
salt one pound; oXallc acid two ounces;
water, one gallon.

one part coal and three parts ashes and
better fuel than pure coal is obtained.

A Man Of rId-Wide Fame.

Thomas Beecham. who died at his
home in Southport. Eng. last month
probably had more world wide fame as
a manufacturer Of a proprietary medicine
than any other man who ever lived. and
the annual expenditure of his house for
publicity-for newspaper and other ad-
vertising-is said to have been the largest
in the world.
Mr.. Beecham was the founder of the
great pill manufactures I'm Europe and
America which had their small beginning
In the town Of Wigan. Eng. over half
century ago. 1t is a tradition of the
house that the development Of the bust
ness in this large way was due to the
chance remark Of a lady customer that
the pills, then manufactured by Mr.
Beecham in small way. were
worth a guinea a box" Mr. Beech
am, who was sc years old at his
death, was a model employer. building his
business on the basis OF confidence and
cooperation with his associates and
employees, and becoming a benefactor in
many ways as his business and
means increased. The establishment viii
be continued by his son and partner,
Joseph Beecham. who has been for many
years an active factor in the conduct Of
the business and who has personally
guided the advertising campaign which
has made Beecham's pills. worth n

civilized country.

you"
That was ALL and having said It he
turned and made a dash toward the fallen
man. Almost at once the enemy saw and
turned their fire upon him; but he did
not waver. Careless OF the bullets that
sang about his head, he went steadily
on until he reached the dead mans side,
and had taken him in his arms.
Then he turned and started back toward
us. Ali that was a brave sight, to see
him there in that circle of the
red light Of the brilliant fire which
left the dark background of the
tropic foliage darker and blacker than
it was before, carrying his friend to safety
at the cost of his own lifel-it would
surely cost him that That awful rain Of
bullets poured thicker and thicker about
his head, and several times we saw him
sway and stagger, and knew he had been
hit But he came steadily on-came on
until he laid his friend not wounded but
only bruised and senseless from his fall,
at the feet of the woman he loved. Then
he pitched forward across him, dead.
And as he did so the colonel gave a
great cry and stumbled forward.
Major Black caught him in his arms.
You should not grleve, but be proud"

SON."

1t all came back again. Suddenly I
dropped her hand. and as did so l knew
that that act brought her back from the
same memory.
Your husband?" 1 asked.
He is coming toward us now" she
said.
l turned and looked behind me- Captain
Warner-he was lieutenant no longer
was working his way through the crowd
to where we stood, and upon his arm
leaned Colonel Eustis-old and feeble now,
but a look of calmer contentment on his
face. Suddenly he raised his head and
his eyes met Mrs. Warmers, and then
knew. II he had lost much, he had surely
found much, too; for in the eyes of the
woman who stood beside me there was
such a wealth of tenderness as many
men, whose lives are lonely as my own
life is, can never hope to see. Walter
