A 100000 Fine

One of the largest fines ever i'm
posed in any court in the world was
that of $29 100000 against the famous
Oil trust, but there appears to be q
great deal of skepticism as to whether
they will ever be compelled to pay it.
Perhaps not, but then the lesson of
obeying the law has been strongly i'm
pressed on them as well as on other
large corporations. If you are still
skeptical of the ability of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to cure you of any
ailment of the stomach, liver, kidneys
or bowels just try one bottle and lei
,it prove for itself and to your own
satisfaction that it is the only medi-
cine you need. We leave the decision
to you without any hesitancy because
we know that it can positively cure
poor appetite. belching, heartburn,
dyspepsia, Indigestion, costiveness, fe-
male ills or malaria. Try it today.

River Eating Up a Town.

The town of Elwood. directly across
from st. Joseph, Mo-. is on its last
legs. More correctly. its last legs are
about to he swept from under it, says
the Kansas CITY Journal. The hungry
Muddy, which eats Il few thousa.-
acres of rich farm land every year be-
tween Sioux City and st. Louis. has
stretched out its mouth for Elwood.
and the little village is about to give
up the ghost. Some time ago govern
ment engineers made n survey Of the
Missouri river and recommended TO
the war department that $4,000 be
spent to save Elwood and Lake Con-
trary, the latter just south of st. Jo-
|seph. on this side of the river. No ac-
ton has been taken as far as citi-
Zens of Elwood can see. so they have
started circulating a petition to Secre-
tary Taft to have his workmen get
busy. About $4,000 damage has al
ready been done. The town has grad
ually moved back into Kansas in the
face of the water. but it can't so much
farther. and unless speedy relief comes
1t will be abandoned.

A PESTlFEROUS GERM
Burrows UP the Scalp Into Oandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality.

People who complain of falling hair
as a rule do not know that it is the
result of dandruff, which is caused by
a pestiferOus parasite burrowing up the
scalp as it digs down to the sheath in
which the hair is fed i'll the scalp Be
fore long the hair root is shriveled up
and the hair drops out. If the work of
the germ is not destroyed, hair keeps
thinning till badness comes. The only
way to cure dandruff is to kill the
germ, and until now there has been
no hair preparation that would do it;
but today dandruff is easily eradicated
by Newbro's Herpicide, which makes
hair glossy and soft as silk. Sold by

Bronx Zoo Nature Story That One
Keeper Vouches For.
There is in the geological gardens in
the Bronx section of New York Il beaver
dam, and in that dam is the father of
the colony, known as Big Brown Joe.
Joe weighs sixty pounds, and the keep
erS vouch tor the Tacr that he has
pounds of sense for every pound of
weight, says the New York Times.
Connected with the beaver pond is
drainpipe to carry off the water when
it has reached a certain height on the
dam. The keepers say Joe has always
wanted the dam to overflow. lie look
ed around, and he studied and he
studied. Finally he hit upon the idea
of filling up the end of the drainage
pipe.
So he collected all the bits of broken
wood he could find and all the stones
he could gather and carried them to
the mouth of the pipe and showed
them in until he completely covered the
opening, and, to Joe's delight, the dam
overlooked The next morning one of
the attendants found the dam over
flowing and opened up the drainage
pipe. The performance was repeated
again and again.
The other day the attendant left his
shovel by the dam, so that it would be
handy, and when he went for it it was
gone. And that keeper vouches for the
fact that Joe. realizing the use to which
the shovel had been put in undOing his
work, took it out into the middle of
the pond and dropped it. At least the
keeper found it there the next after
noon.

A NOVEL THRONE.
How the Great Akbar Sat In Safety.

How the Great Akbar Sat In Safety.
In his article on the great deserted
capital of Fatehpur Sikri in India, In
Harper's for March, Charles E. Russell
tells of the curious way in which the
great Akbar who built the city and
abandoned it protected himself in the
midst Of his counsellors.
THE small red sandstone building,
some distance back of the Public Au-
dience Hail. is handsomely carved
within and without and still shows in
its centre the strong and elaborately
ornamented pillar, perhaps ten feet
high. whereon the emperor placed his
throne From this seat he built slen-
der stone walks, supported by carved
brackets, and leading to the four cor
ners Of the chamber. 1t each corner
sat one Of the ministers Of state, VINO
thus accessible for communication,
were at the same time out Of the CEN
tire of the stage, deadly beloved of the
strenuous. Moreover, the arrangement
had another advantage. Of great prac-
tical value in a country where assas-
sination was truly a fine art; for the
emperOr's seat was reached by one
flight of exceedingly steep and easily
guarded stairs built into the wall, and
once upon his pedestal he was out or
the reach of any murderous suppliant
below.
He had some taste for amusements,
for all the grim nature of his daily la
bors, and outside the Diwan-i- Xmas.

found the huge parchesi-board he con-
structed of red and white stones, each
three feet square, and in the centre
an elevated seat, whence he was wont
to direct the movements OF the game,
in which all the pieces were imper-
sonated by slave girls of the court"

The watchman comes hus-

Serene" The watchman comes hus-
Ting around the corner and opens
the door Of the house or hotel with
his key.
If 1t is a hotel he goes inside and
asks the late farer what Is the num-
ber of his room. Then he goes back
to where there is a board with keys
hanging up and picks out the key be-
longing to the room named. A small
tip then Is in order.
The serenos are not good men like
the Guardia. In Seville they have ar
evil reputation among sailors.
They have been known to beat q
wandering intoxicated sailor, take
away his money and then take him
to the Jail. Many Of the men who
have been killed in the city late al
nights have been charged to the ac-
counts of the Seville serenos.
There is another partially police
arrangement in Seville that is the
least bit unusual. That Is the Casa
de Socorro. 1t is like hospital with
us, except that the chief work done
there Is binding up knife and stab
wounds. The Sevillano Is very quick
to draw a knife and cuttings are very
common, especially in the Barrio de
Triana, where the gypsies are found
1t is no uncommon sight to see a
man bleeding from a bad cash in his
face or body running as well as he
can down the street calling to be di-
rected to the nearest place where he
can get treatment. The police always
help him there and then. arrest him
In that way they generally get theii
information as to brawls.
There are few arrests for fighting
in the street. Indeed, except to the
native Spaniard. it is hard to tell what
is a fight and what is a pleasant dis
cussion.
The native Castilian imagines him.
self born an orator and such f1ingine
about of hands. such angry gestures
and such cries Of 'Si hombre," and
mo hombre," cannot we'll be imagin-
ed by the foreigner to be anything
but a fight. But the guard know bet
ter and they let them alone. If there
are threats Of hostilities a word from
the guard usually is sufficient.
Arrests for drunkenness are the
most usual. That is sufficiently
rare thing among Spaniards, although
they are great drinkers.
Taking a drink Is not matter OF
going in and lining up against the bar
There are few bars. They go in and
sit down and take drinks with great
deal Of conversation and they accum-
ulate their liquor slowly.

There are 200 dukes. 900 marquises
