IN PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Naval Officer Found Condi-
tions Better Than Hoped For.
Toklo: A naval officer who lias re-
turned from Port Arthur, discussing
the'conditions of the fortress, says:
"The condition of the warships and
the town was much better than 1 had
hoped for. Evidently there was much
fortifying done ut Port Arthur after
the siege commenced. The works on
203-Meter hill were not permanent,
and the trenches there were similar
to those used hv the Boers during the
South African war.
"It seems that the Russians had no
general electrical scheme or movable
engines or dynamos for searchlights.
"Russian naval officers say that It
is impossible yet to ascertain whether
the Japanese lire or the opening of
seacocks sank the ships in the harbor.
The hospitals are fairly well kept and
are still used for tho wounded and
prisoners.
"1 understand that up to the time
of the capitulation Lite garrison of
Port Arthur received only special al-
lowances, blit that before the surren-
der General Stocsscl paid off the men.
This, together with the constant pur-
chase by the Russians of supplies
from Junk men. may explain tile report
that there was no treasure left ut Port
Arthur.
"The treatment, of the Japanese pris-
oners at Port Arthur did not compare
with that accorded the Russian prison-
ers In Japan. The Japanese prison- |
ers were given poor food and no fuel, J
and only twice were they permitted lo
go outside of the prison."

Tho treatment that some horses
must submit to is worse than horse
radish on an empty stomach.
It has always been my contention
that men who dock eur tails should
at ioast furnish us with fly-paper.
If horses possessed and could exer-
cise tile faculty of revenge there
would be less room in men's hospitals, j
If horses were legislators there
would he a law enacted prohibiting j
the use of all whips that were not |
boomerangs.
Considering the large number of
beggars in existence, 1 wonder If the
earth would not be too small if wishes
were horses.
A horse appreciates Kindness, but
ns wants it accompanied by horse-
sense. Plenty of hay Is better than
too many lumps of sugar.
Some of our most advanced think-
ers claim that, from an equine point
of view, tho best humane societies are
trolley-car and automobiles.
I, for one. have lost all hope of ever
becoming a philosopher deep enough
to explain why drivers who pull the
wrong rein whip its for obeying them.
.vluch do 1 admire the Inconsistency
of those avowed lovers of horse-ftosh
who strenuously protest when they
find portions of us In cans that are
labeled "beef."
I honor men for one thing more than
for any other, and that Is the fact that
they do not regard the inventors of
the check-rein, the spur, blinkers and.
the eurh-hit as "Beacon Lights of 111*1
tory.”
"Do carriage horses and their at-
tendants waiting on zero-Sunday
mornings in front of church buildings
advertise Christianity?" ami "Would
a horse trade his tall for a pedigree?"
are the most foolish questions I have
ever heard.—G. -T. Evans in Chicago

take hold of tho svsteni. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford’s Blaok-Draugbt is so
suceessful in curing such sickness
beeause it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative tlmt cures con-
stipation and may lie taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in-
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly. Ihe poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Tbod-
ford s Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in Constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis-
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a

THE HOME OF VIHOI
To Mothers of Ailing Children
Many little boys and girls in this
town are weak, thin-legged, hollow-
cheeked and bloodless. We wish every
mother could know what our Vinol will do
for such children. We promise that it
will oreate flesh, build them up and make
them strong, robust and rosy. If it fails
to do this we will cheerfully return all
the money paid us for the Vinol taken.
On these terms it’s your duty to try it.
