While King Eddie is oat bicycling, the Boers are gobbling up his soldiers. Two detachments of hundred each were taken into camp this week. Tammany is said to be very angry over Josiah Flynt’s revelations in regard to the dishonesty of its New York government. Yet there’s nothing new about this. EDISON says that he has invented an electric motor no larger and little heavier than the ordinary soap box. If this proves true, the automobile problem has been solved. Aouinaldo has pained his anti-im-perialistic friends, who strive in vain, to imagine his protoype, George Washington, advising the colonies to surrender as soon as he was caught. Russia really doesn’t care very particularly whether China signs her Manchurian treaty or not; She will remain until the country is pacified, just as Britain is remaining in Egypt. A MAN has just celebrated his l‘29th birthday in a poorhouse. All his friends are dead and he has spent all the savings of his strong years of life. Longevity scarely seems worth its price. The circulation of the Commoner in the east has fallen to nothing. Every bookstore has piles of old unsold copies; but few take the trouble to order new ones. So with all freak publications. Now Indianapolis is having bad boys whipped instead of fining their parents. It is to be hoped that, this example will be followed, no matter what weak-kneed sentimentality may say in opposition. Southern Democrats declare that the next nomination must come east though they are willing to take a middle west man in the second place. Still, when the candidate, whoever he may be, will he so soon done for, it seems a question what he is to be begun for. It is difficult to see what the Boer leaders.hope to gain in their suit in New Orleans to prevent the dispatch of mules thence to South Africa. It has long been an axiom that no neutral trade that is allowable in peace is prohibited in war, —although it may be subject to confiscation by a belligerent. The Jersey Central managers are running tremendous risks for what appears to the outside public as a very small gain. The railway brotherhoods have again and again shown their conservatism and reluctance to strike. To refuse to deal with these and risk the rise of an irresponsible order like the American Railway Union seems the height of foolishness

A Rag ol light For woman’s guidance is found in the fact that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures female weakness and the diseases of the delicate womanly organs which darken the lives of so many women with suffering and sorrow. That ray of light has penetrated many darkened chambers where women moaned in misery, and has guided them out to health and happiness. « Favorite Prescription n is not a tonic, not a palliative, but a positive cure for the diseases which are peculiar to women. It gives vigor and vitality. It banishes nervousness, headache, and all the aches which come from a diseased condition of the womanly organs. A temperance medicine, it contains neither alcohol nor narcotics. " I was troubled for three years with ulceration and female weakness and my doctor gave me but little relief," writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter, of AUenton, St. Louis Co., Mo. "I saw an advertisement in the paper of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I began the use of it about a year ago. I took five bottles of it, and one bottle of ‘ Golden Medical Discovery,’ and my health is better now than it was for years. I have also recommended these medicines to some of my friends, who suffered from female* weakness, and foot results have followed." |MAKeSWEAKHbMENSIOrin L-AflP SICK WOMEH WELL |

Mexico satisfies Mr. Bryan pretty well as to silver, but its imperialistic habit of reelecting the same President sticks in his craw. This trust question will solve itself sooner or later. When the present consolidation mania has gone so far as to organize the universal trust—and few can doubt that it will go that far in time—who questions that the people will simply confiscate the whole thing and run it as a co-opera-tive company? Oom Paul says that the British have exaggerated the number of the Boers in order to save themselves from the humiliation of admitting how small a number has been holding them at bay. However, it is more reasonable to account for it by the universal tendency to exaggerate the number of one’s opponents. You will waste time if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starving yourself. That only makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty of good food properly digested. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of years of scientific research for something that would digest not onlv some elements of food but every kind. And it is the one remedy that will do it. A. F. Long. Some people get huffy when asked to pay their subscription. VVe wonder how they would like to de liver their butter, eggs, wheat or other product of their labor to some merchant for a year or two, possibly three or four years and then have the merchant get hot at them when they ask for their pay? Yet there seems to be many people of that kind and they are not all farmers either.— Churnbusf o Truth. What do you think of t he loud voiced man on the train who announces it so that everyb dy can hear, wnere he is going? A Darkey wearing a mourning veil looks very funny. Lots of splendid voices are used by ’bus drivers. A lot of old maids kiss funny when leaving friends at the train. A good many men are so shiftless that they never dress up except on Sunday or when the;r church giv es a dinner. A man never sees a cash register without wishing he had money enough to keep it going ali the time’. Every man, when he gets old, likes to tell how good he used to be physically. Even if he has nothing, every man likes to say he made his own way in the world. Lots of men say they ought to have got married younger because they did not begin to save money till they were Even church services are never run to please everybody.

(continued. J “He did seem rather rattled. He said that he’d come back to try and be friends with old Marsden, bnt no one conld be, and he was off again.” “Very well; then one thing is certain, and that is that Astray Marsden was in this room on the night of the murder. It will rest for him to clear himself or for the law to bring the charge home to him. Marsden himself opened the door, and the two men entered this room. Marsden sat in his chair there, the chessltoard was on that small table beside him, and he was undoubtedly working out a problem when he w T as interrupted. It needs only a glance at the bookcase to show his hobby. Old Mardsen sat there, the board beside him. The young man stood here” —Darrent took up his position by the fender again—“his elbow upon the mantelpiece—so. You can see where the elbow rested. He must be a tall man who stands so, Thompson. That gave me an idea as to his height; this thread of w x>l, the texture of his clothes. He smoked as he talked — smoked a coarse cut ship’s tobacco, not the sort that a man of his breeding would smoke unless he had been down in the world, knocking about from one country to another, and therefore bronzed, and, as a man does not take particular care of his appearance at such times and certainly does not give ten minutes every day to shaving, bearded. You see, Thompson, things are very clear when we look carefully.” “Yes, sir,” the officer mechanically replied, gazing at Darrent, bewildered. “The young man stood here, and they talked. Perhaps young Marsden wanted money—they generally do —and the old man refused, taunted him. You know old men can taunt, Thompson. The words got higher and higher, the young man’s temper hotter and hotter, and then he launched into a furious outburst, emphasizing each point by bringing his fist down upon the oak mantelshelf. Three times he did that, Thompson. You see three marks made by the concussion as his ring struck the wood. The strength in that blow would kill a man, so be careful if you ever have to deal with young Marsden. The old man was frightened and faint and overturned the board with the pieces upon it as he started to his feet, and Astray gave him some brandy in that little glass from the decanter on the sideboard. As he handed it to him he placed his hand upon the mantelshelf, this time the right hand. You see by the impression the forefinger was bound up. Dust is a very valuable thing, Thompson; don’t forget that. Then young Marsden collected the chessmen and placed them in the box again. ’ ’ “The old man might have done that, ” Thompson exclaimed, anxious to test the skill with which the puzzle was being put together. “The young man did it, Thompson. One had roHed under the sideboard. Old Marsden would never have shut up the box and put it away with one missing. The chessmen are put away, the old man becomes more amiable, and they sit down again. He goes so far as to offer young Marsden a cigar. You see one has been taken from this box, a new box, which young Marsden opened with his clasp knife—you know the ugly kind of knife, Thompson. The murder was committed with the same weapon. He opens the box, takes out a cigar and lights it, then puts the knife here by his side and sits on the edge of the table. “Again they talk, again the old man taunts, and again the young man loses his temper and crashes his hand down upon the table. His fingers touch that awful knife, and in a second it is over. For a moment he is paralyzed with fear and, rushing to the sideboard, pours out a glass of the brandy, for himself

tms time, spilling it upon the wooc. work and the carpet, and then stands and hesitates. Ho dare not leave by the front door in case he is seen. Suddenly he remembers the passage through the rockery on to the river. No doubt the water at the bottom of the tunnel would be frozen, and he could escape tliat way. With cue glance over his shoulder he leaves the library, rushes across the hall through the opposite room and the conservatory, then out into the grounds along the covered walk and by the tunnel on to the frozen river. “Old Marsden, left for dead, comes slowly back to semiconsciousness. He is dying, and he knows it, but be swears the guilty shall not escape, and even with his failing strength he will denounce the murderer.” Darrent finished his dramatic word picture and then, taking the slip of paper from his pocket, held it before the face of his comrade. “I am dying, murdered by Astray,” gasped Thompson. “And Astray has skipped,” Darrent interrupted. Thompson could only stolidly nod in acquiescence. Loath as he was to believe that Astray Marsden, whom he remembered in years back always had a kindly word for every one, was a murderer, he had been led away by Darrent’ s dramatic recital, and the paper written by the dying man seemed to clinch the matter. Yes, there could be no question about it now. Astray must have clone it. * ‘lt looks rather black against young Marsden,” he said, at last finding his tongue. “You suspect him?” Thompson nodded moodily. “Well, look here, Thompson,” suddenly snapped Darrent. “Don’t you be In such a confounded hurry to jump at conclusions. Now, if we find presently that Astray Marsden can prove an absolute alibi, what becomes of these deductions, eh? Astray Marsden is not the only man in the world who stands six feet high, wears a rough homespun suit, carries a Norwegian knife and likes to have his signet ring on the little finger of his left hand.” “But the paper ?” “Well, what of that? ‘I am dying, murdered by Astra’— The ‘y’ is missing, and you jump to the conclusion it must be Astray. Now, suppose, Thompson, that the mystery has a deeper root; that it concerns Astray all the same, but not as a murderer. Suppose old Marsden intended, for example, to write ‘murdered by Astray’s brother’ or any other relative, and died before he could write the last word. What becomes of your evidence then?” And, having calmly and deliberately demolished the structure that he had so carefully and elaborately constructed, Darrent took a cigarette from his case and, lighting it, strolled over to the window. “I told you,” he said between the whiffs, “that the man stood with his elbow on the mantelshelf. Well, so he did. That’s obvious. And then I showed you three dents that looked comparatively fresh, and I said that they had been made by the ring on the little finger of the man’s hand. Well, perhaps they were, and perhaps they were done weeks ago by old Marsden himself. Perhaps the man’s elbow never rested on the shelf, but old Marsden had put something there and afterward removed it. I shouldn’t like to swear to any of it. I’ve put a lot of little things together, but they may be all wrong, every one of them. What do you think, eh?” “I think they all fit too well. ” “They fit well enough, but they prove nothing, absolutely nothing. To be a successful detective one must be ready not only to forge chains, but to set to work directly afterward and break them, if tjiey can be broken, test every link and i| there’s a flaw find it. One must not persuade himself, because a few circumstances fit, that that, and that only, must be the truth. Why, 1 have many as good a chain of circumstantial evidence before, and every link has been faulty, the whole thing worse thap worthless. ’ ’ fro BE CONTINUED.)
