writes: During the summer and fall
Of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where 1t was actual
misery and developed alarming symp-
toms, such as very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. Experimental with several so-
called remedies before 1 finally decided
to take.a thorough course of Peruna.

Criminal Negligence.

Every man, woman and child who goes
down into his or her grave, victim Of
malarial fever is a cruel sacrifice to qui-
nine and those who ignorantly continue to
administer it. The use of quinine in
fever is a relic Of medical barbarism, for
which, in the light of modern discoveries,
there is no excuse.
Every under-Weight man or woman you
meet in days journey, the victim of ma
larial poison, whose vital powers have
been cut in half, is q mute witness Of
criminal negligence on the part of those
who recommended or prescribed quinine.
Those who are well informed on medi-
cal subjects know that quinine is an in
sidious destroyer of the blood corpuscles.
thus impoverishing the blood. It is
poison to the entire nervous system and
weakens the heart.
We appeal to the very best in every
true man, and ask his earnest support
for remedy which, for quarter Of
century, has demonstrated its complete
mastery over malaria anC feTers by ap-
parently magical and almost miraculous
cures. 1t leaves the body strong and
vigorous, the blood rich and pure, the
nerves steady, the heart strong. It's a
tonic, not a depressant.
We plead earnestly that every man shall
lend his support and see that Johnson's
Tonic is used by all sufferers who come
within the sphere Of his influence. For

with precision that would have done
credit to any vessel in the service.
There was pause for moment, then
the liner ran up her red ensign, while
We at the same time showed the
French tricolor. Again the gun
doomed forth, and again and again.
But the steamer did not slacken speed
or seek to parley. She kept on her
way as IL contemptuous of our attack
In quarter of an hour, however, we
had drawn up at close range, and our
strong-lunged skipper, in an entirely
new uniform, using long string OF
foreign oaths, shouted to his crew to
open fire.
Next instant the vessel shook from
stem to stern as time after time our
guns spat forth their fire and deadly
hail upon the inoffensive steamer,
while our Maxim on the port bow rat
tied out its whitening rain of bullets,
sweeping the deck of the liner and
tearing the canvas awnings to rib
bons. Suddenly one of our well-direct-
ed shells carried away part of the
fore-funnel Of the liner, and moment
later another, entering amidships, ex-
ploded, and must have wrecked part of
the machinery, for the steamer at once
slowed down and stopped.
What do you mean by this?'' cried
the angry captain of the liner. gestic-
ulating from his bridge, when we drew

ly, and then went on with his work of
helping to fix a revolving gun-carriage,
while I assembled to the bridge and
tried to obtain some explanation of the
captain. But he was Neapolitan,
and answered my questions with such
an ingeniously bad pronunciation of
Italian that failed to understand him
Through the vessel from end to end I
went, exploring every part, but failed
to obtain information from anybody.
The crew were certainly the most viii
lainous-looking set of men I had ever
encountered, and comprised dark
skinned Greeks, Lascars, Turks, in
fact the very scum of Mediterranean
ports. Below forward were about so
ugly-faced scoundrels idling; some
playing dominoes, others smoking, all
keeping up polyglot chatter, but,
strangely enough, as l entered heard
one man exc1aim in Cockney English:
"'Ere comes the boss. Amt he a
sniD?"
I glanced around, but could not dis
cover who had thus betrayed his Eng
lish birth.
Wandering on / met man in Of
ficer's uniform and inquired of him
where the owner was, but he only
shrugged his shoulders and replied in
French that he supposed he was still
in Monte Carlo. glanced at the ships
boats, and saw that the name upon
fnfa
and the word Cagnes substituted. In
the three days Of my Inconsistencies
the yacht had been transformed into
a vessel of war. armed to the teeth
with every appliance Of modern war
fare, and we were apparently bent on
some mysterious offensive expedition.
Why the affable Archibald Grant had
gone ashore leaving me on board was
an enigma; and my surprise was con-

six from Liverpool" came the an.
swer from the liner.
Then you'll perhaps be surprised
to hear that war was declared by
France against England three days
ago." answered our captain, grim1y.
Therefore you'll just haul your flag
down, and I'll send a prize crew
aboard"
The captain of the liner seemed
dumfounded by this startling an
nouncement, and no further resistance
was offered, although we could see
what panic we had created among the
passengers. Our boats were lowered,
and after a long and excited parley
the men we sent to the steamer rowed
back with nine large iron-bound bull
lion-cases locked and sealed.
"BraVo!" cried our captain, excited
1y, when he saw them "Then there
was no mistake!" The boats were at
once swung up, and next moment the
electric signal rang out ting-ting-ting,
and we moved off, leaving the dis
abled steamer lying helpless as log.

siderably increased when half an hour
later, on passing through the saloon
with the funereal hangings, came to
the door of the strong room and found
it ajar.
Upon the floor were the tin boxes
which had contained the Monte Carlo
winnings open and empty. Everything
had been removed!
Through the long, anxious day I
paced the deck, taking my meals alone
in the saloon, waited upon by the 81
gantic negro who, however, knew no
word of any language was acquainted
with. The north-countryman to whom
had spoken, and whose name /
learned was Bird, chatted with me dur
ing the afternoon, but from him l
could learn nothing of our intention
or destination. l glanced at the stern
compass and saw that we were head

flew through the waters in the golden
track of the dying day.

and I passed a restless night tossing

hausted, l fell into a sound sleep, from

portfolio high rocks rising from the
water bare and sun-blanched. Swiftly
dressed and ran up on deck eager to
land, but on looking round saw that
we were lying up small creek, and
that the aspect of the land was tropi-
cal, with palms, aloes and Towering
plants. It was the coast of North At
RIGA. The shore was but a short dis
lance off, yet no one attempted to
lower a boat.
For two whole days we lay at an
Choir in that natural harbor, with a
lookout yigilantly kept, and to all my
requests to land, the captain merely
shook his head, while in answer to my
inquiries of Bird he laughed, saying:
This is Morocco. If you went ashore
here among the Riffs your life would.
MT be worth twopence. We shall sail
tomorrow, or the next day"
So with that I awaited events, anx-
ious and puzzled. There seemed to be
a conspiracy of silence on board, for
/ could discover nothing.
About noon on the following day, as
I was eating my lunch, the propeller
suddenly commenced to revolve, and
rushing up l found we were slowly
creeping out of the creek. It was
misty, the sea gray-blue, and as I
stood on deck watching and we got
clear of the coast, suddenly saw a
good-sized merchant steamer at lit
tie distance from us.
'It's the Macclesfefd, Furness liner
from Liverpool for ConstantinopIe," I
heard Bird explain to rutianly- look
ing companion, and almost before the
words had left his mouth there was a
bright flash, report which caused the
vessel to tremble, and one of our bow
Nordenfelts sent a shot full at the
vessel we were overhauling.

The car load shipping record of the
Colorado and Southern railroad at this
point shows very healthy condition of
affairs. In June, 1907, there were sent
out, III cars of ore while in June of the
present year there was total of 165 cars
sent out, making an increase of over
forty per cent. Sixty seven cars of ore
were received in June, 1907. and 76 were
received in June of this year, showing
an increase of nearly fourteen per cent.
lThe number of carloads of ore and mer-
|chandise received one year ago amount
led to 1876, while the carloads of all class
bf receipts for June of this year aggre-
gated 1876. There were billed out one
Eear ago, in June, 100 cars of all classes,
and in June of this year, 174. Nor did
the travelling public suffer this year, by
comparison, as the records of the office
showed that there was decided increase
