 INTO A COURT Must Show Why He Doesn't Trim Trees, TRIBUNAL AT NICE SUES Judge Continues the Case for Two
 Weeks.
 T,hree Crowned Heads Will Compete Cor Prizes at the Annual Flower
 show--Queen sits for Por-
By Henri Dubois,

Paris, May 1.-The courts of the City of Nice are anything but nice to the crowned heads of Europe who come within their Jurisdiction. Only a few days ago a. suit was filed against ex- Empress Eugenie of France and now Czar Nicholas has been summoned to appear before the same judge.
 The Czar is the owner of property in Nice which includes large garden, in which there is a mausoleum erected in memory of the Czarevitch who died there. In this garden there are some magnificent old trees which are never cut or trimmed to the great annoyance or the neighbors, as the branches have spread so as to prevent light from entering their houses.
 And now poor Nicholas, who has plenty of troubles besides, will have to appear in court and show cause why he should not trim his trees, or he will be declared in contempt and liable to ar- rest should he ever put foot on French soil.
 He really was to have appeared yes- terday, but the lenient judge not see- ing him, bound the case over for two weeks fin consideration of the great distance the defendant had to travel"
 As it is, chances are that the Czar will not appear anyway, though he would no doubt like to get away from his capital for while. Probabilities are. that he will be represented in court by the Russian ambassador.

Annual Flower show.

The annual flower show which is held each year at the Cours de la Refine will this year be more of an attraction than ever as at least three crowned heads will be among the exhibitors.
 Emperor William has notified the committee in charge of the exposition that he wishes to compete for a prize with collection of rare flowers from his own private gardens. Queen Will helmina, of Holland, true to good old Dutch custom, is interested in the cul- ture of her tulips and hyacinths and will send some beautiful specimens raised by herself and finally his Majes- ty King Chulalongkorn of Siam has under way collection of some mys- terious plants, which are so rare that they are coming from Bangkok under the special charge of three Siamese na- lives who will guard them night and day until the show is over.
 The "Cours de la Reine," flower show occurring as 1t does when all Ameri- cans who are Zen voyage" are in Paris is always patronized by American la- dies who go there to while away an afternoon watching the gay and fash ionable crowd and admire the lovely flowers exhibited.

Cotton in Africa.

"The idea that Germany should oon- tinue to rely upon the United States for her supply of cotton, when we have colonies in Africa, where more than enough of this staple might be raised to keep all our mills busy, Is unbeara- ble to me-" the Kaiser Is reported to have said to Herr Dernburg. the Minis ter of Colonies, some time ago, and, as a result of the imperial words. immense cotton farms are to spring up in Ger man South West Africa.
 A German company for the promo ton of cotton raising in the colonies with a capital of six million marks has been formed and in addition 1t will re- ceiye a government subsidy of 250,o00 marks.
 The company has begun its activity by naming two communities, one of which will travel through the cotton raising States of America, while the other will locate suitable districts in Africa where cotton may be raised. It Is hoped to have 500.000 acres under cultivation within a year.

No wonder they could bear it no

whispered to the burdock girl:

BEST EVER WRITTEN
PRESCRIPTION WHICH ANYONE
CAN EASILY MIX.
Said to Promptly Overcome Kidney
and Bladder Affictions-Shake
Simple Ingredients Well
In Bottle.

Mix the following by shaking well
in bottle, and. take in teaspoonful
doses after meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract 'Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. A prominent physician is the
authority that these simple, harmless
ingredients can be obtained at nom.
inal cost from any druggist even in
the smaller towns.
The mixture is said to cleanse and
strengthen the clogged and inactive
Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad-
der weakness and Urinary trouble Of
all kinds, If taken before the stage of
Bright's disease.
Those who have tried this say it pos
itively overcomes pain in the back,
clears the urine of sediment and regu-
lates urination, especially at night,
curing even the worst forms of blad-
der weakness.
Every man or woman here who feels
that the kidneys are not strong or act
ing in healthy manner should mix
this prescription at home and give it
a trial, as it is said to do wonders for
many persons.
The Scranton (Pa.) Times was first
to print this remarkable prescription,
in October, of 1906, since when all the
leading newspapers of New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other
cities have made many announcements
of it to their readers.
