ARROGANCE AND SERVILITY.
Attitude of British Officer and Soldier
Toward Kach Other.
"The cabman and conductor would
be kind to you, but they wonld not be
respectful," quotes Mr. Howells In his
recent reminiscences of James Busseil
Lowell, in mentioning the little ways
in which MrXowell, ,on his retuin
from the "comfortably padded environ
ment" of London, found America less
comfortable than the country he bad
left . ' : -
No doubt, kindness In deed Is more
than respectfulness in word. Neverthe
less, Mr. Lowell was not thepnly Amer
ican who, returning from England, has
missed the sruootauess, ease and pleas
antness In the conduct of the small af
fairs of life with which English re
spectfulness has much to do. At Its
best, it is the good manners of the un
educated; at its worst, it degeneiates
into servility.
One of the many unexpected discus
sions arising from the South African
war touches this matter In its military
aspect The ready deference of the un
educated English private toward his
officers has induced In some of the offi
cers an attitude of kindly but arrogant
personal superiority. But the Colonial
soldiers, although obedient and well
drilled, and although they fully accept
their officers' rights to command them,
regard the right as professional only.
They do not consider that It Implies a
superior manhood.
They will not endure bullying or
swaggering or slanging, and they re
sent superciliousness. They are, in
short, like our American soldiers, re
spectful and self -respectful; and the re
luctant authorities have found that In
stead of greater Independence Impair
ing their usefulness, their greater init
iative has made them more valuable
than the machine-like, home-trained
Tommy Atkinses. .
As a result there Is a growing opin
ion that England's semjpaternal, semi
contemptuous attitude toward her pri
vate soldiers, which has cheerily tick
eted them the world .over as "absent
minded beggars," plucky but Irrespon
sible, Is neither wise nor fair. Tommy
himself accepted it but It was not good
for him; now his spirited Colonial cous
ins repudiate It entirely, and England
agrees that they are right Youth's
Companion.

about his newest book. I read it at the

and how I felt that no booE in my li

that he'd like to write something in the
book for me, and asked if he no, come
to think of if I asked him to call, and
he seemed pleased with the idea, as If
I, and not he, bad been the famous Due.
Well, I bought a copy of the book and
laid It on the library table all ready for
him. .. I was dressing one day when his

Diseases Which Often
; Puzzle Doctors are
Inevitable.
. From The Tribune, Wtbiter City, la. .""
Physicians are often puzzled by an
ailment that does hot yield to the usual
remedies, patients are caused much
suffering and expense while experi
ments are being tried upon them, when
in many cases the' seat of the disorder
is in the blood. If this vital fluid is
impoverished disease is sure to follow.
Build up the blood, the diseased part
is nourished and stiengtbened, and
health results. This is the simple his.
tory of what often appears to be a com
plicated case. Mr. Ezra Edwards, the
well-known merchant of Webster City,'
Iowa, passed through ' suon an exper
ience. He says; ,
- "I have always "believed that my
trouble was due to the impoverished
condition of my blood. , About tour
yaara ago my ankles began to swell and
cause me great pain. 1 am quite heavy
and as I was on my feet constantly I
suffered intensely. Finally the swell
ing became so bad that I could not
walk and for a week -I was confined to
my chair or bed. Three. doctors treated
me but did not effect a cure. .
"1 first heard of Dr. Williams' Pink

months. I am now 42 years old and
am the pioture of health. I am will
ing to tell the world that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills cured me and I know they
will cure others if they are given a
thorough trial. .

GOLD HOARDED BY MISERS.
Millions of Yellow Coin Disappear An
- stnallT from Circulation.
The world Is full of millions and mill
ions of long-lost sovereigns. A com
petent authority has Just completed
some investigations which, he declares,
show that in three years the Bank of
England has lost trace of no fewer
than' 20,000,000 golden coins of the
realm. This wholesale disappearance
of the elusive sovereign has been going
on for years. A river of gold baa
flowed unceasingly from Threadneedle
street to all parts of the world, but it
has come back only as a tiny yellow
streamlet What has become of the
surplus In Its wanderings? "Misers" is
the unpoetlcal explanation for a great
.part of this disappearance. There still
exist In this and other countries people
who are unbuslness-Uke enough to
hoard up gold and keep it lying idle
by them for the sole pleasure of know
ing it is there and occasionally count
ing It . , .-- .. .
'The people of India appear to be par
ticularly addicted to a habit that is
more reminiscent of medieval times
than of an age when money is gener
ally saved so thatmore can be made
with it In the regency of Bombay It
is estimated that 12,000,000 golden sov
ereigns are boarded. If tbat is tm? rec
ord of Bombay alone, what is the full
tale for the whole country? China, too,
absorbs a vast amount of gold that
never sees the light again. As a matter
of fact, while the whole world la
searching for and trying to . acquire
gold, a goodly part of It appears to be
engaged In the less thrilling pastime
of hiding It away. .
Great Britain is not guiltless of this
commercial sin. Dotted all over the
kingdom are graveyards of gold which,
if discovered and opened, might restore
to circulation a' vast amount of wealth
at present absolutely useless. At a
spot about two miles from Hereford
shire Beacon a treasure chest is record
ed in the local history as having been

: All occupations, except agriculture

these. The first is his sense of disci

the apparently tottering fabric of the
Turkish empire. It makes the half -fed,
half-clother soldier ready to endure
every privatiori,'and prevents the cor
ruption and Incapacity "of the officers

that the Turk Is too proud to do many

ed by the enormous demand for it. -''." -
It is wisdom to have Peruna in the honse even before the grip at
tacks the household. . -
It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of
national repnlation have given public endorsement and testimonials to
Peruna aa a remedy for la grippe:
Congressman Howard, of Alabama, savs j "1 have taken Peruna for
the grip tnd recommend it as an excellent remedy to all fe low-sufferer."
Congressman White, of Nmth Carolina, says : "I find Peruna to be
an excellent remedy for the g ip. I have used it in my family and they
all join m-; in recommending it "
M'ss Frances M. Anderson, of Washington, D. C. daughter of Judge
" Anderson, of Virginia says : "I was taken very ill with the grip. I took
- Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week."
Mrs. Harriett A. S. Marsh, president of the Women's Benovelent
Association,' of Chicago, writes : "I suffered with grip seven weeks.
Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks was fully re
stored. Shall never be without it again." .
At the appearance of the first symptoms of the grip people should,
stay in loirs and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonfttl every hour) until
the symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sickness
anu pernaf s iaiai results.
The Right Deduction.
"I ordered 200 pounds of ice today,"
remarked the young housekeeper, "and
our ice man carried it up himself.
That shows. he's strong,- doesn't it?"
"No." snapped the lord of the man
or, "it shows that he weighed it him
self." . - - .

ordering things, so as to get him out of

" ' Arousing the Cook.
Stubb I compel our cook to keep an
alarm clock iu her room.

and then she goes up two flights of
stairs and raps on the cook's door.
