HAD TO PART WITH QUEUES
How Soldiers at the Gates of kashing Enforced Magistrates Orders
 on the Citizens.

A week or so ago our Pen Full or dered every mans queue cut off Many at once did so, but the business men were opposed. Also some other class es. So the magistrate wrote concili- atory proclamation, delaying the time few days. Then he resorted to the method of appointing great gathering of Chinese of all sorts, especially the soldiers, at the Flashing Flu school.
 The only requirement for entrance was a "queueless head" About 1000 were present. The Flu himself with his officers appeared before the people and then gave an account of the his- tory of the Kuh-mintang movements in flashing. One of the most interest ing features of the occasion was the presentation to the volunteers of a number of goodly presents, from rice in quantity to dressed pigs and other delicacies of all sorts. This for their of the respect and sympathy of the people who were in and around Rash. ing.
 But all the above methods failed to secure the shopmens queues and also those of many other people So finally the magistrate set a day and proclaimed that every man not hav- ing his queue off by the time set would be compelled to cut the badge of Man. chu servitude off and relegate it to the waste basket.
 So in due season soldiers were sta. toned at the gate (sorle three days ago) and many were the queues sacri- feed. Many were the howls of some of those whose dignity. in their esti. nation, was thus lost forever. The writer passed along the street lately and could not see single queue. Sc the Flu has proved his words!
 There is wild enthusiasm for for eign hats, overcoats, cloth and every. thing of this nature. A 0ood tadloa night make good thing of 1t here KAshing correspondence Shanghai Mercury.

When a certain Baltimore matron returned home one afternoon not so long ago the first sight her eyes be- held was badly damaged youngster of hers. Little Bobby's forehead bore bump almost the size of a doorknob.

TURNED BLIND
 ALMOST FELL
Mrs. Hansen Says At First Her Case Seemed Hopeless, but She
 Finally Won Out.

Mobile, Ala.-"For seven years" says Mrs. Sigurd Hansen, of this city, q suffered with womanly troub- les, and, at last, was operated on.
 I felt better for a time, but soon had the same trouble as before.
 I had dizzy spells, and would turn blind and almost fall over. I had pains in my back and side, and was not able to work.
 Half the time I could not eat any breakfast, and always felt weak and had a headache.
 One day, my husband got me a bot tie of Cardui, and I tried it. I felt better, so I took some more.
 Now, l am we'll and feel fine. My doctor says I am looking better than ever. have a good appetite and sleep well.
 It is all due to Cardui. I only wish every suffering woman would try it. They would soon feel as good as I do'
 You may be sure, when Cardui will relieve and cure such a serious case as that of Mrs. Hansen, that it will, much more quick kly and certainly, help those women who have no serious symptoms, but are just weak and ail- ing.
 Are you?
 Try it.

Then it asks US who under the cano-

for law by securing In place of the

a standing invitation to fraud and cor

Whew!
Isn't that a poser?
Did you, gentle reader. ever mis-
trust before just what the democratic
statesmen and editors were trying to
do?
Do you really suppose that deep
down in their public spirited hearts
they think they are going about the
reform in the sensible way?
They get a law resubmitted to the
people, and the people vote to stand
by the law, and then these wonderful
democratic statesmen say this thing
isn't settled until it's settled right,
and they appeal to the people once
more the while they tie themselves |
down to the miserable license system
