grocer.
Under those circumstances doesn' t
it look to you as if you might spare
me one single apple?"
Not at all
Sir" continued the tramp as he
backed two inches nearer the stove,

And he took the tramp by the Shout

him a shove out into. the cold world
The nan returned, looked through the
window and said:
"Oh, I'm not kicking at all. This is
world of Improvement, and if I'm a
year behind the times it's my fault

ing is better than phosphates, why,

kau renewed his motions to strike out
the item for Kalihiwaena school but
the motion was lost.

Senator Kalama introduced a reso-

Senator Smith objected. He wanted
to have it referred to the Committee
on Accounts, no matter what was done

Senator Brown moved a r~econsidera-
ton of the bill relative to the DISPOSE
ton of funds arising from the sale of

the effect of the bill, speaking for it,

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves US to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the "impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's a way. eff we
could but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be done," he added.
"You can no more turn coz liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the "impossible" had been ac-
complished. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritiye and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by US from fresh cod ~livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hvpophosphites, Extracts OF
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DR.. rockingham so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freelv and confidently for
Hysteria, Wasting Complaints,
.Anemia, Blood Impurities, Asth-
ma, and Throat and Lung Trou-
bles. DR.. W. IL. B. Atkins, PLY
sician to Toronto General Hos
piUal, says: 81 am much pleased
to state that the results from
using Wampole's Preparation of
Cod Liver Oil have been uni
formly satisfactory; it appealed

LANE AND MAKEKAU
On LEGISLATIVE ACTS

my opposition to Doctor Wayson
was on political grounds only and the
action of the Senate in approving the
appointment will react on the Repub-
lican party at the next election" said
Senator Lane yesterday. THE masses
wanted Wallach to go to Molokai and
1 was in honor bound to censure the
body that opposed them and defied the
Legislature. If the nomination had not
been confirmed I would have asked
for the appointment of DR.. McLen-
nan and if he had failed I had plenty
of others in view. My fight was for
principle but I felt sure at the n the
doctor would get the place. L had an
other resolution 1 would have offered
tomorrow but it would make this Sen
ate the laughing stock of the world if
L should put it in after Wayson had
been confirmed"
Senator Lane referred to the vote
of want of confidence that was already
written and ready for presentation
today.
1.-The defeat of the Mccarthy election
bill is too bad" said Senator Makekau.
IF that had gone through I would
have felt easy regarding the election
of our supervisors next year n I
would not have taken the stump in
their interest. Voting a straight ticket
would have been too easy and we could
have elected our men without Difficult
ty. Next time L hope it will be drawn
up with nothing left out and then we
will put it through"

noon today by a band of terrorists,
who shot and killed the postmaster,
two postal clerks aid two soldiers

cor of bystanders. The ~terrorists
robbed the safe of cash and stamps
and escaped in a cab.
The robbers belong to the ~organiza-

and displayed a red flag while max
ing their escape. The police authori-
ties admit that the robbers got away
with severa thousand roubles. This
is the first important raid ia two
months. bait shows that the terror
lists are not suppressed, as h auth
critics have alleged. The incident has
caused intense excitement in War
saw and aroalses fears of the recur-
renee of the sanguinary events of
the earlier winter.
