 We have reflected upon our heavy responsibility and are aware of our weakness. Consequently we must de- pend upon officials, great and small, in Picking and In the provinces to show public spirit and patriotism in aiding the government"
 Another edict issued in the name of the late dowager empress and said to have been authorized by her on the day she died says:
 II look back today over fifty years or sorrow and trouble, ana even at the end of my life my anxieties still are with me and can find no respite.
 Reform in the method of govern ment has begun, and these ideas will be continued and developed. The re- gent, viceroys, governors and all other officials should exert themselves to strengthen the foundations of the en- pire. Let the Emperor Pu Yi make the affairs of the empire of the first importance, and to this end let him be adequately instructed"
 These various edicts. taken together, are considered to commit the new re- gime 10 programme of reform and progress. ..

election.
 Cleveland, O., Nov. 20.--Although he admits he is ruined man, having lost his $5,000,000 fortune in fighting for three cent fares and directing the af- fairs of this municipality, Mayor Tom l.. Johnson says he is not discouraged. He said today:
 "Yes, I am ruined man. so far as money is concerned My fortune is all gone, and I must give up my home on Euclid avenue.
 My traction company is in the hands of receivers, and my banking concern has passed into other hands.
 My only recreation has been a,- tomobiling. I'd like to keep one of my autos, but Pm afraid I can't"
 His fortune was wrecked, the mayor declared, by his devotion to the affairs of the estate of his dead brother, AL bert, who was heavily interested in traction properties in the east.
 Pm going to be happy yet too. We may have to go back to cottage, but that's the way we started, and we can look upon life just as joyfully there as we did in the big house on Euclid avenue.
 They tell me my enemies are plan- ming to bring financial trouble upon me. I've been expecting it. There's one mistake haven't made--that of failing to foresee the efforts of those who would like to destroy me if ops portunity presented.
 My enemies are capable of doing that. One may expect nothing else from special privilege. Let them do what they may. Let them make any sort of attack upon me that they choose, with whatever success, and they will find me with thousand fights left in me
 Il have never made single penny out of the street railways since be- came mayor, and l haven't drawn . cent of pay from the Municipal Trac. tion company as treasurer.
 q am not discouraged. I'm going to keep on just as I've started. I'm go- ing to be candidate for mayor again when this term is over."
 The Municipal Traction company, of which Mayor Johnson was treayurer, has passed into the hands of receiv- CTS, and the two local banks of the Depositors' Savings and Trust com pany, of which the mayor was presi- dent. have been absorbed by other institutions.

Most fatal sicknesses have their beginnings in simple "cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in [ cough.

FINED A FRANC.
What That Meant TO an American Who
Was Living In Paris.


When you are fined franc in Paris
It means that you pay IL francs 73
centimes, or just over half sovereign.
TNis Is the only conclusion to which
one can come after reading the curl
Gus experience Of an American citizen
who Is staying In Paris to complete
the education Of his sons. He lives In
an apartment near the Arc de Tri-
omphe, and the other morning one OF
his servants committed the impru.
dence Of shaking a carpet out Of the
window after o O'clock. A lynx eyed
constable saw her and Immediately
climbed the stairs, rang the bell, en-
tered the apartment and drew up a
summons against the tenant. The
American was called and gave his
name.
IL did not know 1t was a breach OF
the law" he said. "But as I have
broken 1t must pay. How much Is
it?
"You will be fined / franc" replied
the policeman.
There you are" answered the
American. and he held out the coin.
But the agent refused to take 1t.
Later on" he remarked as he with
drew, "you Will be summoned before
the justice OF the peace"
Some days later the delinquent was
invited to appear before the "juge de
palx" and obeyed the summons. He
was Obliged to wait three hours In an
antechambcr Then he was admitted.
"Do you admit" asked the magls-
trate, "having broken the lawp
81 do" was the reply.
"Good. You are fined franc"
"There you are, then" And the
American again held out the franc.
But the magistrate would have none
Of it.
"You will pay the sum later. You
will be advised when. You may with
draw"
The American took his departure,
considerably surprised at so many for
mallties IN connection with franc
fine. A few days later he received
stamped paper inviting him to pay,
first OF all, / franc, the amount Of his
fine, plus % centimes, the amount Of
the declines, plus II francs 4S cen
times, the amount Of the costs, making
I'm all total Of II francs 73 centimcs.
The American paid, but as he left the
police court he remarked:
"In America n law which forced
citizen to pay $12 when he had only
been fined 81 would be considered a
hypocrltical and dishonest law. And
we would not tolerate 1t long, you
