outlaw horse in Kent county that he cam
not ride.
For many years a student in mlneralogy.
Mr.. Bourne has been applying his knowl-
edge to experiment with the human sys-
tenn.
THE great secret of health and life Is
publication" Mr.. Bourne said. 'If the
human system can be kept pure there will
be no decay. 1t is stagnation that causes
death. learned my first lesson from the
running brooks. l observed that where
these streams pass through a clay forma-
ton the water is quickly purified and made
clear.
IT was growing old and decrepit, like
every other man, until began my expert
ment of purifying my system several years
ago. 1 analysed and experimental with
various olays, with the view of discovering
the best purifier. 1 discovered that u
mineral clay in this county, known as
glaciallte exceeds all other clays in purih-
cation effects. I have been using this clay
to keep my system clean and pure for a
number of years. and the effect has been
simply marvellous I drink the clay with
hot water and apply the mixture exter-
nally thereby keeping my system cleansed
and purified"
Bourne was born on the ocean while HIS
parents we're making their way from Ire
| land to the United States, on Arpil &
1915. He accompanied his parents to a
point on the Missouri river near what n
now Kansas City. He penetrated the west
when boy and settled near the site OF
| Pueblo. Colo, which was at that time a
part Of Kansas. He lived there flfty-two
years. He has hunted big game all over
and had many fights with Indians in the
early days He moved TO Texas twenty
years ago.-New York World.

Chine.e woman Honorea.


TIE Pat-mui. a Chinese woman OF Hong
kong. has received medal for bravery
displayed during the great typhoon Of
September IS last. She is the only woman
who has ever been decorated for signal
bravery in the history OF the colony and
probably the only Chinese woman who
holds a medal Of honor presented by for
eigners.
TIE Pat-mui won the medal simply
through not losing her head when in dan
ger. She was on the waterfront when the
storm broke and she saw her house swept
away by the waves that drove in from
the outer harbor.
Instead Of joining the mad rush back to
the upper lands she stayed Just outside
the zone OF the noating wreckage and
busted herself pulling people of floating
roofs and directing them to places Of ref
uge. When most Of the Chinese water
jewellers had fed TIE Pat-mui was noticed
by the white men who were doing rescue
work along the Hongkong bund still busy
directing those of her race who came drift
ing in to land where to go to get out Of
reach of the waves.
Along with the woman there we're four
Chinese men who received similar medals
from the representative of the governor
Of Hongkoug. These were two lighthouse
keepers, a fisherman and a constable.
On January 10 the presentation was
made. The governors administrator gave
TIE Paemui the favor of a special COM
mendation. He heard that she already had
two sons and he CALAMITY wished her the
Joy of another soon.
May the fourteen gods look over your
excellency," she answered but the best
wish that / can have is that II ever get
in trouble with your honorable court you
will remember me and be good to me"
Knowing the superstition that con-
| Germs drowning persons, the English citi-
zens Of Hongkong marvelled greatly at the
fact that five Cinnamon had been found
worthy of medals for saving people from
drowning. The Chinese popular rule is, II
a man is drowning let him drown
The accepted belief is that II one browns
it is because the king Of all the spirits so
Wills it and has ordained that the soul OF
the drowning man shall join the throng
on the other side. If the one drowning is
rescued that fact forever damns his pros
poets for eternity and, what is worse for
the rescuer, the king Of the spirits is as
| likely as not to take his life in payment for
the one of which he has been cheated.

WRECK LOOTED BY JAPANESE
American Steamer Dakota Ranaacked
On the Rocks on Toxic
Bay.

Considerable excitement has been caused
In japan over the wreck and subsequent
looting OF the Great Northern Steamship
company's liner Dakota, on the rocks off
the Shiranuma coast. south OF Toxic bay,
on the afternoon of Sunday. March 3. The
Dakota, a ship Of 5000 tens, is one of the
largest wrecks on record and as II was
known to have full passenger list much
relief was felt when IL was learned that all
on board had been safely landed A letter
to the New York Evening Post from
Nagasaki says It Ia a mystery how the
ship came to be In tho vicinity OF these
dangerous rocks, as It usually gave the
region a wide berth. but II is understood
TO have been due 20 quick inset Of the
current. II was an unusually bright day
and the natives had gathered along the
shore. making signs TO warn the ship Of its
danger; but the reckoning was taken as
a token of welcome and answered by the
passengers by tho waving Of handker-
chiefs.
A great amount Of criticism has been
caused by the wholesale looting OF the YES
sci after II was deserted. When the
natives first swarmed around they were
beaten on by the crew who suspected their
intentions; but on processing only desire
TO assist the passengers. they were per
mitted to join in the work OF taking people
ashore. The officers OF the ship declare that
as soon as they had left the ship-it was

the officers were approaching the ship.
they saw a party Of men on board, but all
Of them left before the boat reached the
ships side. An investigation showed that
the vessel had been looted.
Much Of the ships cargo was soon float
ing about In the sea, and the temptation
to loot was admittedly great, especially to
the poor people who inhabit that coast.
Within two minutes after striking the
rock. the pressure of air and the thrush of
water were so strong that the canvass
covers OF the air-vents from the tanks
were blown of, columns of water shot into
the air, and soon the matches blew off.
strewing the sea with wreckage Of all de-
scriptions. especially immense quantities
OF cotton. -four and baggage.
The rifing Of the mail bags by the natives
is particularly to be deprecated. Foreign
letters, most of them opened, were seen
scattered along the shore. A passenger
came across two fishermen trying TO break
open a bag. and offered to purchase It,
He succeeded in doing so for fifteen cents
It looked like a paying proposition TO the
fishermen; so they offered Ave other bags
which they said they knew of and would
get on promise of sufficient remuneration.
The discussion was interrupted by the ar
rival of two policemen. who agreed that
the fishermen should be rewarded If they
secured the mail bags; but when It was
gently suggested that the reward should
come from the authorities. they decided
that the bags should be had for nothing.
In a field beyond the rocks several empty
mail bags were found with letters lttering
the ground, while important documents,
insurance policies and drafts were dis
covered lying in pools OF water. Many
trunks and other baggage belonging to
passengers were found cut open and en-
piled of their. contents. The authorities
are being severely criticised for not taking
immediate steps TO protect the mail. Out
of 3e mail bags, It is reported that not
more than eighty have been recovered.

for an investigation. A North aCrolina
member said there was a member of the
house who had been told that there would
be $500 for him IL he voted fer the Mime
sofa land bill. Alexander X. Marshall of
Kentucky said that this statement from a
member of the house demanded attention,
but Il have no idea" he said, of giving
10 such contemplate things as appear in
the newspapers Of this country the sort of
respcctabllity they would obtain by re-
ceiving notice from this body" Bewis d.
Campbell OF Ohio said: 1T is not becoming
in an American congress to stop to in
quire into the truth of charge which is
based solely on the idea that some editor
or assistant editor or a newspaper penny
a-llne writer has seen fit TO malign the
body" Samuel Brenton of Kentucky said:
IF there is any class of individuals who
should be treated by us with contempt, or
II not with contempt with commisseration,
it is those demented fragments of humanity
TAT hang around this hall for the pur-
pose of gathering up every whisper and
every word that may fall from the lips of
member, even In private conversation,
and trumpeting II throughout the land"
Did the newspaper survive such wither-
ms blasts as those from the old-fashioned
lawyers and statesmen who composed the
house Of representative? In spite of all
this contempt for the "demented fragments
of humanity an investigation was ordered,
and the committee recommended the ex-
pulsion Of a member of congress from New
York. and to escape expulsion he resigned.
Many Of the other members implicated in
the corruption were defeated for reelection
] in 1858.
Now, as then, the corrupt and predatory
politician talk about the Lying hounds
OF newspapers and propose various ways
Of intimidating newspaper writer's, but all
their schemes come to naught because the
newspaper exposures have a way of turning
out to be true. The ordinary libel laws
are quite sufficient to deter newspapers
from attacking private personal regulations
without SUFFICIENT reason. and the histories
| of municipal plundering in New York and
| Chicago and st. Louis and Philadelphia
have justified the ''unbridled license" Of
the press. The newspapers are not brtdled
