Major General Murray arrived on the Evans last night but continued west. He is given in the passenger list as a tourist but it was said he was booked for this place. As the boat came in unexpectedly there was no opportunity of learning his real des- tination.

Apples, carrots and Brazil nuts are

From Pure Joy of Living.

Miss Maria Thompson Daviess, the
author, having lived all her life in the
South, has a fund of humorous stories
about the negroes. The New York
Sun says that the following one is
her favorite
One day she walked down a street
in Nashville with a guest from the
North. The street was crowded with
negroes, who were forming in line for
a parade. Miss Daviess' guest was
curious to know what it was about;
and seeing a boy whom she knew,
Miss Daviess called him to her.
Whats the occasion for the parade,
Tom?" she asked.
The boy looked at her with a grin.

HE PANHANDLED THE COPS
Pennsylvania Man Found Brooklyn Po-

wanted just a couple of dollars, or

He would return it with interest just
as soon as he reached Harrisburg.
Could the policeman let him have it?
And it is said Flemming was success
full; just how successful the records
don't show.
Occasionally the stranger dropped in
at a police station and told the desk

FAMED IN LEGEND AND STORY
Rhine Has for Generations Inspired
Patriotism Among the Sons
of the FatherIand.

For generations past the Rhine has
served to inspire the spirit of patri-
otism among his German children,
who love to call him Father Rhine"
'Wacht am Rhein" was the great ma
tional song which was sung with an
extraordinary fervor by the German
soldiers alike in the hour Of defeat
and victory in the Franco-German
war, being sung before the walls of
Paris in that great campaign which
ended in victory for the Prussian
forces. And now that their country
is faced with greater peril than any
she has hitherto experienced, the
words of that great war song, bring
ing back memories of 1870, will be
sung by millions of the kaiser's forces
on land and sea. Truly the Rhine is
fit subject for national song. It's
banks were the scene of many of the
fierce battles for supremacy which
took place between the Teutonic hosts
and the Romans, whose strongest bull
wark it was; it was there that Gaul
and Teuton struggled for supremacy
in the generations that followed
Flowing through land clothed with
vineyards, that yield wine which is
famed the world over for it's exquisite
bouquet and dry, piquant flavor,
Father Rhine" breathes spirit of
song and legend and romance. Ruined
castles crown the rugged and fantas-
tic crags that hem in it's channel; it's
waters, of a deep green hue, flow over
the treasure of the Nibelungs, surge
round the rock of the siren Lorelei,
and are overlooked by the command
ing statue of Germania-the trophy
of German victory in 1870.
Except during the 18th and the
greater part of the 10Th centuries,
it has always been a purely German
river. 1t became part of the dividing
line between France and Germany in
1897, when Alsace-Lorraine was ap-
propriated by France; in 1870 it was
won back by it's children at the point
of the sword. 1t is to the German
race what the Thames is to the Eng
lish people. 1t is means of liveli-
hood, too, for it carries more than
two million tons of freightage each
year, and is a symbol of national pros
perity.

PURE RICH BLOOD

Bad blood, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.
