The husband had learned Christie's
song and all day long he sang it to his
bride. In the morning before break

After lunch it was the same and as .

The last straw was added to the

the song and the love-struck couple

This was too much for Christie and he
left the hotel, sorry that he had ever

Correct Smokinu.

There is more tobacco per head con-
sumed in Belgium than in any other
country in the world. It is therefore
fitting, perhaps, that one of the favor
ite pastimes of the menfolk should be
smoking competitions, at which valu-
able prizes are awarded to the man
who can make his pipeful of tobacco
last the longest. The Brugsche Book
ers club is the premier smokers club
of Belgium, and it was there that
witnessed one of the famous competi-
tions. The true art of smoking, ac-
cording to the standard set by Bel

laws, ready for any mischief, from cat
tie rustling to robbing trains.
Bob Meldrum made his reputation
as deputy at Baggs, where he broke
up the rustler army and drove the
last one out of the country.
Meldrum's fame as gun fighter
spread and he was in active demand
wherever there was trouble He was
for some time employed by the mine
owners of Cripple Creek and Tellur-
ide, during Colorado's bloody war of
mining interests. Later he appeared
at Boise during the Haywood Meyer
trial. Always his appearance on the
scene resulted in sudden quieting Of
boisterous spirits. Men who had an
nounced that they were hunting for
trouble" vanished when the trouble
appeared in the form of this quiet, de-
termined gun fighter, whose revolv.
er handle is so notched with death
scars that it looks as if a bear had
been chewing it.
During Meldrum's absence from the
Little Snake river country, the indus
try of cattle rustling showed decided
revival, until now it is said to be al.
most as flourishing as it was before
the day of Tom Horn. The cattle own
ers claim that there is a regular sys-
tenn of "railroading' stock out of the
country. They say that most of the
"homesteaders" who have taken out
small ranches along the Little Snake
valley and it's vicinity are not legiti-
mate ranchmen, but are cattle rust
lers, who pass on" the stolen stock
into Wyoming and Utah. In this way,
it is claimed, thousands of head of cat
tie are being rustled every year.
It is to break up this system that
Bob" Meldrum has been called upon.
The nervy gun fighter knows his men,
and he knows just the capacity for re-
sistance in each. AS a general rule
Meldrum never has recourse to his
weapon with which he has established
such a record in the west. He fixes
his hard blue eyes on his victim, and
the individual generally "vamooses''
or goes quietly to durance.
Bets are being made in the cattle
country that Meldrum will have the

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT
DEPOSED CHINESE PREMIER

Yuan Sh Kat, premier of China, who has
been stripped of all of his Offices and power, was
regarded one of the most progressive states
men of the oriental empire After embarking on
his official career he was chiefly occupied for
many years with military matters. He was
among the first of Chinese officers to study for
eign methods of organization and tactics and to
appreciate the necessity for undermining the
Chinese army.
He showed such capacity that he was de-
tailed to superintend the reorganization Of the
Corean army, and for time, just prior to the
ChinaJapan war, he was Chinese resident at
Seoul. He served in the disastrous-to China
war against Japan without serious loss of repu-

Gen. George F. Elliott, commander of the
United States marine corps, is as much at a loss
as the general public to tell the reason for the
late order of President Roosevelt taking the
marine corps off the battleships and relegating
them to duty on land. Does it mean the gradual
elimination of this splendid organization of
fighting men?
The marine corps was organized in ITS and
has since been an important institution in the
naval department. 1t has added much glory to
the story OF American arms, and has played a

from this government as special commissioner.
He is, according to the announcement officially
given out in Washington, to look into conditions
in Castro's dooryard and report. But there is a
well-de1ined suspicion in the minds of many
newspaper readers that he is likely to go further
than that. The temper of Uncle Sans present
administration toward Castro has been of sort
lately to Justify the suggestion that Vice-Presi-
dent Gomez, acting president of Venezuela dur

arranged to secure the strongest sort of support
from the United States in case he should decide

traordinary amount of phosphorus
seems not to be well founded. Tbs
foods that best supply phosphorus are:
Beans, peas, milk, wheat, rye, corn,
eggs, nuts, potatoes, meats, fish, fgs,
carrots, cabbage.
It is now clear that all the elements
of nutrition are supplied by bread,
nuts, fruits, milk and meat. If one is
satisfied that meat is Injurious he
can gradually eliminate that from his
dietary. I have shown in a previous
article why buttermilk is better for
the adult than sweet milk, and l ad-
wise it in every case.
It is the various compounds of the
mineral elements that are so impor-
tant in the processes of nutrition. So
important are they that a school of
medicine, biochemistry, has been
based upon their administration.
Iron, sulphur or phosphorus may be
found deficient in the blood as in
dicated by symptoms, but you cannot
furnish sulphur to the blood by drink
ing a solution of sulphur water. Min
eral food must go through the vege-
table or animal. If we want iron or
sulphur we must eat lettuce, eggs,
meat, peanuts, wheat or other nuts or
cereals. The vegetables, especially
beans, lettuce, potatoes and nuts, are
richest in the mineral salts. Nuts
contain, everything considered, the
best supply. I shall deal more fully
with this phase of nutrition in the
chapters on "The Diet Cure" and that
on Cooking"
