"War has Its humorous side," said
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, "though the hu
mor Is always grim.
"In one of my most perilous Indian
campaigns I overheard a group of prl
vates saying good-night to one another
on the eve of an engagement. These
youths were In different regiments
They knew the coming fight would be
s hot one. They knew it was prob
sble enough that they would never so*

"And so, as they separated, one of
them said:
" 'Well, good-by, .boys. As the coonr
said when the dogs made after them
"We'll all meet at the better's.""*

and escaped an awful operation by using

"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:?I suffered for four years with what the
doctors called Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) and ova
ritis, which are most distressing and painful ailments, affecting all the
surrounding parts, undermining the constitution, and sapping the life
forces. If you had seen me a year ago, before 1 be pan taking Lydia E.
Pftakham's Vegetable Compound, and had notioed the sunken eyes,
?allow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and compared that
person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not
wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine,
which restored me to new life and nealth in five months, and saved me
from an awful operation." ? Miss Irbnb Hapoood, 1022 Sandwich St
Windsor, Ont
Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubas which adjoin the
ovaries may result from eudden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflamma
tion of the womb, and many other oausss. The slightest indication of trouble
with the ovaries, indicated by dull throbbing pain .in the sids, accompanied
Vy heat and shooting paina, should olaim your instant attention. It will not
emre itself, and a hospital operation, with all its terrors, may easily result from
aeglect.
"Dear Mrs. Piwkha*:?I can truly say that you have saved
tny life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words.
I M Before I wrote to you telling how I felt, I had doctored for over
two years steady and spent lots of money in medicine besides, but it all
failed to do me any good. My menses did not smear in that time, and
1 suffered much pain. I would daily Wve
fainting spells, headache, backache and

it was hard for me to do my work.
"I used your medicine and treatment

STORY OF THE ARREST OF AN OFFICIAL
CHARGED WITH SELURS 8ECRST3
TO A FOREIGN POWER.
S official of the commissa
riat department well
known in the Russian capi
tal disappeared suddenly
some weeks ago. and no

body knew what had become of him.
aaje the 8t. Petersburg correspondent
of the London- Telegraph. His wife
falling ill at the same time, qnlte a
clond of mystery hnng over the fam
ily, all the more dense because of the
absurd rumors that were circulating.
One report had it that he had com
mitted suicide while In a fit of depres
sion. Others affirmed that be had
failed to account for large sums of
money entrusted to him. and had been
arrested for embesslement. According
to a third story, he had speculated
wildly on the exchange, had lost enor
mous sums. and. beiug unable to meet
his liabilities, bad fled the country.
His friends 6liook their head?, and re
marked that it w as not in him to com
mit such follies. The rumors were
absurd. But u:;>st absurd of all was
the statement that he had sold plans
describing the despatch of war mate
rial and provisions to the Far East,
and was a traitor to his country. Any.
thing was possible, they affirmed, rath
er than that.
To what liovernmeut could he have
betrayed the secret of his own coun
try? Of course, to the English, people
answered. The English sovereign cir
culates in all continental countries,
English spies are everywhere, the se
cret service fund of the British For
eign Office Is inexhaustible. Besides,
the person whom lie frequented most
?. But that being a doubtful point,
people remarked that proofs were su
perfluous. for everybody knew that the
English had bribed the official, made
him a traitor, and ruined him and his
family. But what use could the Brit
ish have for the commissariat plans?
skeptics queried. A makeshift an
swer was quickly found, which would
iw*ili!i?t n\orage Itusaian man, and
the matter was judged. All over the
capital the report spread that England
had bought the plans In the possession
of the official, and that ifb iiau con
fessed his crime.
In time, however. It leaked out that
M. X. had sold his plans to Japan
shortly before the war broke out. and,
it was added, this act of treason en
abled Russia's foe to seise the Yekat
erinoslay, with its stores and provis
ions. The traitor had already been
tried, condemned and hanged in the
terrible prison of Schlusselburg. But
the official papers have published no
account of the arrest, trial, condemna
tion or execution. Hence nothing is
known for certain, except that M. X.
has been spirited away by the authori
ties on a charge of treason to his coun
try.
The latest version of how he was ar
rested and proved guilty Is very inter
esting in itself. It also throws a side
light upon the ways of the secret po
lice. and who are now organized afrer
the French model, and act with far
greater circumspection and skill than,
say, ten years ago. This is the story,
for the exact truth of which I cannot
vouch.
The authorities suspected X. of hat
ing had dealings with the Japunese,
but they lacked proofs of the fact, and
It was now impossible to obtain any.
One or two indications there were?
strong enough, perhaps, to awaken
misgivings, but not sufficient to hang a
dog. The matter was placed In the
hands of the secret police, who are all
disciples of Sherlock Holmes. X. was
shadowed day and night; every persou
to whom he spoke, at home or abroad,
was also watched, but no facts of im
portance were elicited. Whatever he
might have done In the past, he was
not selling his country's secrets at
present: but then, there was no one to
betray them to, since the Japanese em
bassy bad gone.
A certain foreigner, against whom
the police had nothing to urge, was
among the acquaintances whom X.
met from time to time. One evening
the two were seated together In a res
taurant on the Xevsky Prospekt. which
Is commonly frequented by (Jerman
merchants and by foreigners. Beer is
the chief, but not the only, beverage
there; the principal (Jerman newspa
pers are taken in. and the vernacular
of most of the guests is the Teuton
tongue. X. and his friend or ac
quaintance were at a table in a little
room, at the far end of the restaurant,
chatting, drinking and smoking, and
there was 110 one there but themselves.
Indeed, the whole place was nearly
empty Just then, because the theatres
would not be over for two full hours
yet. Hence the pair were surprised to
see a stranger walk iuto their room
and sit down at a table near their own.
It was his right to do so, as the apart
ment was not engaged, but
The stranger was a well-dressed,
frank-looking man, who seemed to
have had his fair share of champagne
at dinner. lie was a Russian to the
backbone; for after having listened to
the conversation of his neighbors for a
few minutes lie corrected a slip of
theirs here and got I11 an additional re
mark there. At last he moved his
Clialr and sat by them. Curiously
enough, lie seemed specially taken
with the foreigner, to whom he spoke
much of Russian hospitality. Invited
him to dinner, and at last he Induced
the man to rise up and accompany him
to the bar. which was In another room,
there to drink each other's health iii
Russian vodka. The foreigner tPas
%ery unwilling, pleading thut he never
drank vodka nor strong spirits, but
finally, not to seem ungracious, he hu
mored the hospitable Russian. #nd
leaving X. went to the bar. Tlie.T
they drank and chatted?"in Russian
fashion." said the new acquaintance?
while time sped.
While this diversion was taking
place X. was not long alone. A man
dressed like au official, hurriedly en
tered the room, and putting and punt
ing its though he had been running for
his life, usl?cd; "l? your name X.f'
"Ye?, my name to X." wu* the a norm
clous reply; "whtl business in that of
yours?" "No offense. I amure yon. sir
bat I hare been sent to And you about
a very urgent affair. The police bare
for months been looking out for a dan
gerous man named Y., and they bare
at last arrested him. Ten minute* ago
not more. But ha denies that he la Y.
and. what Is more, he gives your uame
as his and your address. He nlso hut
your card, so that tbe whole thins 1*
embarrasiting. They know, of course
that he Is lying, bat for formality*'
sake they must hare proof mid ttiet
would feel much obliged if you wodld
kindly come just for a moment to saj
that you are M. X. That's why I have
come. You will be back here In ten
minutes."
X. obviously did not like the sugges
gestlon. and he urged various consid
eratlons against carrying It out. But
the messenger was very eloquent, sua
slve and pressing, so that at last the
two took a drosbky and set out. telling
the waiter that X. would bo buck In a
quarter of an bout.
At the Police Department they found
a number of high officials awaiting
them. Tbe apartment they entered
was a sort of council chamber; tho
visages of tbe officials were solemn,
tbe whole atmosphere depressing. X.
entered, saluted the company, and said:
"I am X.. and if anylto.iy else "
But he was interrupted by a voice:
"In the name of tbe law I arrest you,
X., for having committed one of the
blackest crimes that any subject to
His Majesty can be guilty of. You
have sold secret plans to Russia's en
emy. You have forfeited your life
thereby, and as all the proofs are in
our possession you had better use tho
little time left you In this life in pre
paring for the next."
The world must have grown black
in the eyes of tbe wretched man on,
hearing bis doom, lie must have
looked the very picture of despair, be
cause even those bardened officials ap
peared to pity him. and one of them
said, sympathetically; "It is still possi
ble to avoid death. If you wait until
the proofs are read to you it will be
too late. But fit down here and write
a bumble petition to His .Majesty for
mercy. He will surely pardon you.
But mind and make a clean breast of
it. Your only hope is iu the Csar."
X. dropped heavily into u chair, me
chanically took a pen in bis hand,
wrote a full confession of bis guilt,
and having signed tbe paper sealed his
doom. No further proof of bis guilt
wus needed.
Tribe of Primitive Indians.
The Alabama Indians In the Creek
Nation are so primitive in their way
that they attract attention where In
dians are no uncommon sight. They
are living and practising customs of
the Indians of 100 years ago. They
still speak their own dialect, being the
only one of the forty-nine different
tribes composing the Creek Nation that
does this. None of them can 8]H>ak
English. They live In pole huts
daubed with red clay.
The Alabama trii?e has affiliated
with the 8nake Indians and is still
more backward in accepting associa
tion with the white man. For a long
time they refused to lie enrolled on
tbe Loyal Creek rolls, but of late many
of them have been persuaded to come
forward and enroll.
The prophet is the big man of tbe
tribe. When a horse is stolen be is
stip|K>8ed to be able to find It. or if
Indians become sick be is expected
to make them well. If a drought over
takes the land he Is expected to maka
It rain. He brews or makes all tho
medicine for his tribe.
Tottery making, which Is a lost
art with tbe Creek Indians to-day,

Well Worth He?ln(.
One of tbe most interesting exhibits
among the many of all kinds at the Louisa
iana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis is
that of tbo Winchester Repeating Aims
Company, of New Haven, Conn., nianu
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on the
first day of the fair, a fact that clearly
Illustrates tbe enterprise and up-to-date
methods of the company behind it. It is
the aim of the Winchester Repeating
Arms Company to show at their exhibit
tbe high development which they have
reached in the making of gun# and ammu
nition, and one needs only to se? the ex
hibit to realize how near to perfection
that development has come. There can
be seen the new automatic repeating rifle,
all kinds of shotguns, the modern smoke
less powder shotgun shells and rifle car*
t ridges; in fact everything that can interest
the devotees of hunting and trap and tar
get shooting. Don't fail to see the exhibit
It the Manufacturers and Fish and Gaiue
Buildings. It's well worth your while.
