ISTORY FOR TO-DAy.1
I STORY FOR TO-DAy.1 iThe Man from Cotooney He came to us when the last Seid of wheat had fallen before the ir'repressi.ble advance of the reaying machine, and consequently at the time when fresh hands were hardly wanted. His approach wag leisurely, and philosophical, his manner a.9 easy as the flow of his conversation, his attire light and picturesque. Diogenes going through modern England could not ha,ve maintained one tithe of the quiet, semi-cynical self-posse&Son typiBed in the bronze face and humorous, eyes that came down the lane and shone over the garden hedge like a new sunburst. The top of the morniu' to ye, sor, and many av thim." Civility, as the proverb says, is a cheap com- modity. I returned the salutation, the original purveyor thereof meanwhile, adopt- ing an easy and graceful attitude against the privet hedge that separated us. Tis foine wither for the harvest, glory be to God, and it's me own hands that is oneasy to be handlin' fork or rake wid the colleens beyant there. Maybe the masther has a job of worruk that ne can give to a man loike meailf." He slanted his head over in the direction of a meld where half a dozen rosy English lasses were engaged in heaping the ra.kinss of a thick crop of wheat. The employment was easy and congenial; I thought it would fit well the disposition of the traveller. The master came towards us at that moment. Here is a man who wants work." Ah! God be good to your honour, &o I do indade. It's me&ilf that has an illigant hand at .harvest worruk. And yer honour'Il give me a. job of worruk ? His honour wanted no more hands and said so a.bruptedly, with oerta.in pointed remarks concerning the assurance of people who go idle at the end of the harvest. "Oh, papa,! and it is not an hour since you said you could do with another man to take Job's place. Give the poor man something to do. The poor man looked over the hedge, quick to seize the opportunity. Miss Maud. fresh and dainty as one of her own roses, blushed l and started under the frank adoration of those wicked Hibernian eyes. God be good to ye, miss, but 'tis only ra,ison that a. swate young thing like yerself should spake soft to a poor man as is waiting worruk so badly. Ah. now your honour '11 give me the wonuk that the young lady was I spakin' of." His honour gave in, beaten by the touch of his daughter's little hand, and the audacity-of the bronzed features before him. I "It's only a, waste of money," he said, I when the traveller-after a liberal meal—had wandered away to the harvest field in search of the much-desired worruk. "He'll do nothing. These wandering Irishmen never do." Certainly this one did not kill himself with over-exertion. He performed his task deliber- ately, if well. There was a tendency about 1'im to -'it down every few minutes. If he had an audience close at hand he betrayed tL further tendency to discourse on various topics. "&ure, now," he said, as I stood by him amcng the corn, what time the sun was doing its best level to burn us all into rags. 'tis moighty improvident this spending of yer stren'th in hot sunloight. it's aslape we should be at this minit. Worruk in the cool and slape in the hot-that's how we do at Colooney." "And wnere is Colloaey?' Sure, yer honour knows that Colooney ia in Sligo. I am from Colooney mesilf." You seem to have wandered a. long way from home." "Ah. thin, but what good would I do and me not havin* seen the wurruld? Its the travelled men that makes fortins." "And your are making your fortune?" Ah, sure. but I'm on the way to that same. Ye should see me at my own trade. Me hand's a, bit out at the ha.rvestin'. Did your honour iver hear tell of Judy M'Cann?" He dropped easily to a convenient set a.m,id the shelves and prepared to "discourse" at his leisure. I moved away, not wishing to give him an excuse for idleness. Looking ground ten minutes afterwards, I found that he had not yet risen. He was probably meditating over the story of Judy M'Cann. The man from Colooney stayed on. His Bleeping chamber was in the hay-loft; he washed at the pump, dispensing in some mysterious fashion with the aid of soap and towel. He lounged easily about the stack- yard o* nights, but always retired into the paddock to smoke his pipe-a wise proceeding which ingratiated him with the master, who had no mind to see his stacks burnt down. The women liked him, as they always do like anything handsome and impudent. He fetched and carried for them. One day I found him labouring under a heavy wheel- barrow load of manure, which he was taking from the fold to the flower garden. He was actually sweating heavily and working hard without doubt. "What does this mean?" I inquired. "I thought you considered this sort of thing improvident ?" The man from Colconey regarded me with a hom.oro.ca smile. His eyes twinkled, and one of them closed itself for an instant. Ah, thin, captain, dea.r. sure a,n' what can a poor boy loike mesilf do when the voice in all the worr-uld me to do a little at the gardenm'? AncT it's yer- self that knows what a sweet voice that is, captain." I followed him into the garden, and found that under Mias Ma.ud'9 instructions he had cleared a, comer previously given over to waste and woods, a.nd was rapidly bringing it into something like respectability. He workfd hard that day and earned a right I to rest and be thankful at. night. "Ye see, capta-in," he rennu-ked confi- dentially to me as I met him washing away the marks of toil at the pump. "ye see. I'm that soft-hearted wid the la,dic. Divil a bit of me that doesn't do me best to oblige thim when they come to me with their murtherin' illigant talk and ses. 'Michael, will ye do this?' and 'Michael, will ye do- tba.t?' Ah, it's iceailf that a.lways was a favourite wid the ladies." The maj* from Colooney was, perhaps, not far cut in his assertion. There seemed to be a movement in his favour among th.e fcmia.les, from the mistress to the milkmaid. The nLasttr looked upon it with true English Because the man's impudently good-look- ing and picturesque you rave a.bont him. L.azy fellows. aJl his sort. Whoever saw him run or get out of his lazy &hume?" I have," said Miss ''tfa.nd. "Ho worked like a. b.,orse wibNi. I brought, him into the garden." I vt-mtured to hint, sotto voce. that any- thing 'would brighten up under the influence, and SO on. "That's foolie-ib, and it isn't true. The man from sa-id the young 1:ady, is a. good worker if you only mana.ga him right." One moTning a hullabaloo arose in the vicinity of t.ne sta.Mes. The 'master. Miss laud, a-nd myself were by inspecting the yoking lady's ponies. a.nd -we hurried np. A stable boy had Inst &ve shillings from his coat as it hung in the stables a.nd was loudly l.aanenting' the fad.. The men. statadin? aronnd looked suspicions. The man from O:>loonlf'Y s'le'pt next to the stable. The fore- Yuan, dtstrTTStful of anything Hibernian, ?ave vcdce to the public eentiment. Jim bhinks the Irishma-n has taken it, sir. Th& man from (Moo'ney was close by ajnd hea-rd it. A Sush of crimson shot straight to his bTonBe cheek, and he tooT! a, ha-lf-ste-p Maud's cle.a.r voice stopped him. "AVhat a, How dare you say such a, thina'? He would no more take it than I shonM." The man from Oolooney held hia head high. Someho.w we forgot his t'a,ss as we looked a.t him. God bles6 you. miss," sa.id the maTi from Nevertheless the ET)?Ushma.Tt icoked a.sT:- a,T)ce at him. The mtam from Colooney went sotitary for a. few days. The last day of ha<rveet came. We a.H went for't-h 'ro P,,e the last loads brought home. Nf-ieq M.a.ud drove the DOnies afield. two vicious Mttle brutes, that oug'ht to have had a, Herou'iee to hoid them. She drm-e on before us with a. confident air. The master. anxious, shook his hea<d. He did not like the pomes. but he was as wax in Ms 'daug'b:t.er's ha.nds. The m'an from GC1'loouey was in his element tth'a.t day. He talked and 1a,u?hed with the wr, en, his impudent good humour bubbling up like fine champa-sne. He worked, too. with the best of them, making light of toil at whirh he llRTlallv wOl1ld have ni be going on my wa<y to-nig'ht," said he. ao I stooped by Mm onoe tha.t a.fteraoon. "It'" pi'nin' foT new adventures I am. so ye'M me no more. Maybe 111 go a long way off." Towardo d1L."k the last load waa 611ed and despatched hTm<"wa.rd f)<mid cheers. Mias M.a.ad and her ponies headed the wagons rvMjnd by the road; fihe rest of us sought a Awrt-out ti2mush Hhs wmd-a(). &a- to jrea<ch homo in time to welcome the little proceæion on its arrival. Going through the wood the man from Colooney burst into song—a, tendency to Irish. The women hushed their cla,tter and listened, the bundles of gleaning on their heads swaying harmoniously with I the tune. A startling sound came upon us as we 6'truck the la.ne—the sound of hor&es' feet dashing along the hard ground in uncon- troH.Lble Sight. The lane ran down hill there, termin.a.ting' at the foot by a.n old lime qua.rry a- hundred feet deep. We gazed ap the hill to the turn, the nowise comTng nearer and nearer. The mo.n from Colooney had ct'as<,d his song and stood wa-tohing. "Maud's ponies!" spjid the master, a,nd clinched his teeth bard. They came round the corner like a whirl- wind, g.a.Uo.ping to-gether like the demons they wsre, their mistre£B holding to the ph.a,eton, thirty yards away, and turned sick. The women screamed and fainted; the men stared at the coming whu-lwiBd and groaned. What could step them in so short a. dis- tance ? Stand clear!" The man from Colooney's voice ra.ng out sharp ajid strong. He had gone a step or two to meet the ponies as he spoke, and stood there, fair aild square, turning up Ms ragged shirt-sleeves. Crash! The man from Colooney went down before that awful rush, but his hands grasped the bridles. Up and down again, the blood Sowing from his face, and agaj-n up, and aga.in down, but suill bagging on to the mad beasts until they paused, trembling and wild, on the very edge of the quarry. "My poor fellow!" The master bent over the m.a,n from Colooney as be lay on the batik, panting -.nd ghastly, crushed to death. He turned hia face half round and smiled feebly. 'Tis young Miss he -wajits," said a. woma.n. -Miss Ma-ud was at his side instantly. She laid her hand on his damp forehead, a.nd then, with a womanly impulse, bent forward a.nd kissed him. 'Ih.a.t kiss was his passport f;,r the long journey he had spoken of, for when the girl raised her face the man from Colooney was dead

WALES'S .0DEFEAT*
WALES'S .0 DEFEAT* I "F ai p and Square." CANNOT BE EXPLAiNED AWAY I Special to Evening Express." I We've been bea-tcn—fairly and squarely, I and must now do what all good sportsmen do—take the defeat with good grace. What might have been—the unique record a.nd all the red of the glory—ma-kes it hard to utill sad thoughts. But it has to be done. The gloom of it all will not fail to press heavily for a, while, but, while remembering that cowards easily sq.B'er vict-ory and that it requires men to sun'er defeat, we must forget our failing a-nd rejoice with the victors. Two years ago we .were justly mourning a defeat which. was j not de&erved. Then we were placed in the I position of the defeated through f!, mistake. And we sorrowed exceedingly. But there is no parallel aa between the defeat of then and now. Then we were beaten, -chough, yet the victo-rs; to-day we are beaten, being truly the conquered. We did right to be sad then; we shall do wrong if we -aje so now. For if sport means a.nythmg it means the talking of the ups and downs of true victory and true defeat with joy, differing only in degree. I need hardly tell the talc of Welsh comn- deaice. The few that feared for defeat were very few indeed. I was very sorry to be unable to disassocia.te myself from the fear- some ones, but having seem the Irish team play act Leicester I sa,w, too pla.i.uiy to miBg, j the da-nger we stood in. And, seeing it, I had. to &ay I dunno" to the question of "Whia.t is it goring to be?" It was the best verdict to give short of acting as d, foreteller ,li,.the doom to come. For one who c.ra,cks the croak of caution., even. to &ay nothing of defeat, is likely to get disliked, croak he ever so truly. Both teaIllS were given great We watched the nrat few minutes.' play with more anxiety ta..tn was ple;.t&aL.t. The ''or- wards wore comforting. Dicky Owen halp-ed the comfort, but there was nothing furtner to ple<Lse. GibM ata-rted passmg in a very Ibea.vy way, t Iri,,h three-qua-rters easily came with the p.<;l&; each time, and Gabe a.nd Nichoils had to stand much tossing as a result, 'mis did the centres no good, and 4t ia Emall worder th.a.t they looked d'is- j BatiBiied. iu a, nunute more they to be dissatisfied too, for another of the series came uJong a.g'a.in, with the Irishmen with it. t Gabe was Knocked Off the ba,n. Thrift gathered it, razeed s'tr-aight to Winneld, beat him, ajid scored near the posts. 'v\ ba.t a, roar went. up from the crowd a.), thds s'uc.ces.s! And Nvhat an ex&ct repeti-; tion of it was suoce.Tgfully nego-uia.ted. as Ga.rdhi.&r converted: Th-is wa.3 bad for us- worse even than five points, for it Eent up the Irish spirit to the point of tire. A fine burst, started by a good kick by Gabe, marked the re'&et-to. "Y;Ûe. getting i down to the Irish line. Ireland broke away from this by help of very Quesuo.ua.ble t.a..c- ties in placing the ball in the was the only fault to find with the otherwise good refereeing. 'the Irish half, Purd,ri, viaz constantly using the blind side for placing in, a.nd on too many occasiana the ba,Il never passed fa.u'ly into the scrum. From where he Mtocd this pact.ioe could not be seen, but the i fa,alt lie in his not getting the ball placed in from his own side of the scrum. A dan- gerous dribble followed, in which Wallace, who wa,s ever promine-nt, took great part. Nieholls had to throw himself at the ball to stop this. But still Ireland attacked, when Winfield was seen gathering from the loose, dodging pa¡:¡t a couple of men, and sending tile, ball nicely to Teddy Morgan. Then Teddy touched everybody to the quick with the finest effort of the match. He had Casement, Thj-ift, and Henebery to beat. The Irishmen knew wih.t Teddy couid do, and of the rest of them everyone who could rum tried to cut across, hoping to help on eveo.tuaJities. But there were none. All on his own went the wing prince. Casement waa left a nxture, Thrift had the pleasure of feeling Teddie, and then futilely feeling for him. and Henebery found something coaling nying along, the like of which he had never previously eeen either inside or outside of Ga/rryowen. No wonder he failed. And no wonder he looked in a dazed sort of style at Teddy, as the modern woudej tried to steal back to his place with- out anyone seeing him and cast hia eyea on the ground as though he had done Irela-nd a, wrong in transferring three of her po.Ints to the Welsh account. This warmed us up a, bit. Teddy LewM's little boy, who is Teddy himself nearly forty years ago. cut all bts of joy capers. The austere father sat mute, of course. Rushes and ineffectual passes continued, when M'Lear opened for the second score. the Southern Irishman sending a, useful puut up to worry Winneld. Worried he waR, both by this and the indecision of one of the hacks, and the Irish forward. coming up, Wallace knoôJ>.ed on, or dribbled over, I really don't know which, and scored. There was more Irish natural enthusiasm than ever in evidence at this, and, though the try was not converted, the match could be said to have been lost and won. Some rare tussles were now witnessed* between M'Lear and NiohoIIa, with honours easy. The Irish forwards had up till now only' shone by the mistakes of our backs, for the Welsh pack had been doing well, the men as a whole giving satisfaction. But now the Irish rushes came into evidence. Helped again by Pardon, they gave us a taste of the game they played against England, Tedford, Gardiner, and Wallace, making dashes for the line. Unfortuna-tely, just, before half-time P-urdoTi was hurt, a.nd had to leave the neld. Ireland continued with fourteen men, Gardener coming out a.t half, seven men being' left in the pack. One Easy Chance of Scoring I was tha,t in which after parsing which no Welsh-man could be proud of, Gibhs received forward and got whistled back. Gabe and Powell each had a ebot at getting over in thia movement, but the former was well ta-ckLod, while Powell coming up took the ball nicely enougb, but was too slow to cover the five ya-rtts required. The cha.nc-e was a very soft one, but the lob throwing was softer, aud the 6nal lob forward was a.n appropria.te setting to the movement. The attack was, however, too to be and on the right, Owen, Gibbs. and Gahe suc- cceded on the left, the latter scoring in a fa.ir position. Winfield' kick, though & good one, was not successful. There were reasonable hopes of turning the tide Btow. For fully ten minutes Wales was all over Ireland. It was out-half work which hurt 118 tgaiii. who had splendidly, now beuLme over-a.nxious to bre.1.k through him&elf. Seeing this, the IrishTTLeu went. for Ma,ddocks and not his pass, thus öhOWing quickly they had noticed that I he had quite opposite intentions from Gibbs, who had not tried sufficiüntly to:) llKLko an openmg- tretand was being Beaten I now. but when a couple of frees had helped j them out of danger they bucked up again. Quick tossing between M'L'\ir, Knox. aud Wallace gave them heart to try attacking. A j short pause, caused by Caddcll being hurt from what .appeared a. collision with Pai-ke, ca&ad the gaEie at a critical time. Caddell was neon being taken ofF, and Ireland, with thirteen men, &et to' try to prevent Wales scoring. Luck came their way hi an awkward bc-unciag of the ball. which allowed White' and Coifey to clear up tlie &old. I'D. a trice the were a.t.a.km¡;, a pa<s9 brought Tediord back. Tune wi* drawing 'near, and our boys made great efforts to score after Henebery had fa.ii€d to pick up from a, high kick. The excitem'e'Dt was intense as the backs got in iDO'tic'n agaj'a. and again. But it wRa not to be. Some.t.hing c.r ot.h€-r, geaieraJly quite small somethingg, pulled them up. With but a. few minutes to go, frea kicks wore a, i, nuhnlOe. Yot t,hü:.a ca-ma alo.n.g for Wales, and had to be taken.. thc-ugh not required. "Keep them out, Ireland!" was the cry, and slap dash wouit the Iri&hjiie'n iTbto it.. Back and fore the ball went, up a.nd down. the neld. Another nunute and another 'unrequired free: one other try to get th.ro'u.g'h by Wales. The epecta-tora had previously downed the barriera and got on to the Sold, just as our spectators did in CardiB', when Ireland won by try, in 1899. Bo.t as our spectatora ha.d been, so ?ere theirs, quite orderly a.nd Tindisturbing'. They were waiting' for the nnaj whistle to break bounds completely, and when it came everything detachable about their persons shot into the air.. Ha,te,, sticks, nags, handkerchiefs went up wLth utt-er unconocm of their value. They 'b&d won. Frequent cries of 'Old IrE)J.a.nd," with much tall: of New Ze))<t!ajid, floated about. They had conquered the conquerors, and were mighty glad. T'here were many, too, who were mjg'hty) sad. Many of this many wore leaks. They bad displaced them all day, and good luck to them; although sad, they carried th--ra quite bra/pel y now. ) Fqnal score. G. T. Pts. I Ireland. 1 2 11 ?Va.l<?. 0 2 6 Cannot be Expiamed Away. It waa a vic.toTy tba,t cannot be €xpla.in<'d aw{l, Ireland won, Wa.!es loat, is auaicient to say of it, for there is nothing over and above that can ease the fact at all. Where we sunered was, nndoubtedly, at outside ha-lf pla.y. Tha.t was the weak link ifi the chain. Gibbs did his best. but as outside half his best was not good enough. He failed in open- icg-ma.king and a.lso in passing. Had this d&partmenib been at full value the match c&u.ld ha,ve been won. There was suffiç.3ent work seat along by Owen to send the backs right merrily along'. Jnst after the opening of the second half Haddocks was tried there, and at first pro- mised -well. But after helping to the secpnd try he clung too long'. In this half, too, the chances tha.t were sent out by Owen wera fewer and further between. The forwards seemed to feel that all was not well behind, a.nd they failed to get poes,ess-ion as oft<*n. Our backs were early in the wars. Forced to take the ball in awkward positions, they became prey to the scampering Irish backa, who delighted in the rushing footwork for which th;:y are po famous, the work of Wallace, Tedford, White, and Alien being very noticeable in this particular. The best of our backs were Morgan and Nicholls, though none of them played Straight up to his repu- tation, possiMy from causes already shown. Winneld kicked splendidly, but his defence was net good. He should ha.v.e had Thrift, but, in saying that, it must be added that so should one of the centres. Owen did well for three parts of the game. He made most of his passing chances, and added to his usual work by clever dribbling, which, had it been' better supported, would have helpad the score. The forwards were evenly good, Prit- cha.rd being best. Of the Irish backs, Hen.eb&ry was compo.ra- tive!y a failure. Pa.rke and Casement were' go-3<L in defence. Thrift good in. attack. M'Dear, on the wing, did very well. Qaddell and Purdon showed that, as a pair, they are a clever, pair. Gardiner, who bad to act as ba,lf-baek, did surprisingly well. The most prominent of the Irish forwards was WaJlace. Taking the match as a, whole we are struck with the close relationship between Irish and Welsh play. As far as I can see the only sharp diS'ereuce lies in the quick rushing and footwork of their forwards, our own being more in. the heavy line, with hands for feet. .Finally, we shall be prepared to hear that had we played seven forwards we should still have lost. Well, the Fates decreed that Ire- land were forced to do it. Will anyone tell me what they lost by it?

John Charles Dely. greengrocer, Eastbourne, examined by Mr. Xewbolt, testified that he went to 28, Grand-parade, on the 26th, to buy some straw, and eventually bought two chairs from Messrs.

Alexander Tinling, chartered accountant, said that he was consulted by Miss Jewell in January, 1904, with reference to what she believed to be an overcharge of interest. He pointed out the principle upon which interest ought to have bee-n charged, but was refused by Messrs. Octzmann sui cient particulars to enable him to reduce the matter to figures.

The false of this—one. of the latest and cer- t&inly one of the most a-musing of tmusioal comedi'es—bad preceded it, and as a na.to.ra.l sequence the theatre o.n Monda-y night was crowded. The musio is bright and sparkling'. and the cosLumes exquisite, but nrst and foremost is the side-splitting com<&dy. Laughter was irresistible. The chief cause of mogt of the merriment was Mr. Leslia HoUand, who plays "Crenera-1 Des Ifs." The cha'TIlling little "Michua," "Marie Blanche," and "Blanche Marie" are represented by Misa Alice Coverick and Miss Graoie Sinclaire, whose voca-1 powera are on a par with their abilities in the leading roles they have to N11. The other meniber.s of the company a,cted. their parts a<d:nira,bly. K!NG'S THEATRE, CARDIFF. I The new romantic drama, "The Midnig'bt I Wedding' was receiv-ed at the .King's Theatre C!a Monday mght with unmistak- i a.ble signs of approbS.tion. The p!a.y is produced by the author, Mr. Alfred Pa,ujnder, who took to perfection the leading' role of -Pa.ut Va.ima.r," swordm.aster of the Red Hussars. Miss Annie Saker was superh in 'her dual parts. The other parts were well ulled. THE EMP!RE8. I Uarcittt. I T. E.

I It is safe to say that never has a prodao tion of ltd own particular clans bee-n ?0 aple.ndidly played or received with eu-ch genuuic approval as the drama.tised version of "Oliver Twist," which opened a week's run at the Newport Lyceum on M<mda,y, with Mr. 'Beerbch'm Tree's company. Mr. William Mackintosh is the old experipucea hand who could play any part well. His "Fagia" is a, wonderful study. There is that other evil gejiius, "Bill Sikes." He is seen in Mr. Cecil A. Collins with wonderful power. Miss Ha/tin Britban is quite delightful in the picturesque character of "Nancy." The title role is tak&n by Miss Gertrude Ix)ng. There will be a -matinee on Saturday.

BACK TO ER!N. Mr. K. T. Scamjnel!, the Western AustraHun Government Enugration Agent, who has ju.-it. returned from a l&cturing toar in Ireland, reports tha.t thfre is a decided reaction, in emigration in that country. In the agricul- tural districts of the south there is not only disposition than on the of the farmers to F'o abroad, hut numerous instances were brougbt under Mr. notice of farmers having returned from the United States in particular to take up*fa.rm- in? in Ireland.

FORTUNATE RATEPAYERS. Burnley ratepayers are in the fortunate of that for the ensuing yE\:1r the local rates wili be 4d. in the £ less than for the previous ye11"r. Several factors have tended towa.rds this gratifying position of a,ffa-irs. the principal one being' the good tra<ie which the town has enjoyed. Property has been better occupied, and e rates ha/ve been more prom.pUy paid. Th?n new mills have greatly addett to the ratn.h!e value. The tra.mwa.ys have more than paid their way, and. therefore, the money set a.slde for this possible contingency can be utilised for other purposes. The corporation balanc-eH, whiMh will be dTa,wn upon to some extent, arc the highest in the history of the borough.

J. icely, a London City Missionary, contributes out of his experience. Modern Success or the power of getting there as the Americans expressively term it, depends entirely upon Nerve Force if that Nerve Force, is seriously diminished by bodily or mental exhaustion, then the amount of success is also decreased. The greater the Nerve Force, the greater the success that can be attained, and in proof of this, Mr. Icely says after suffering much from nervous ailments, he took a course of Phosferine and was then easily able to accomplish much more work than formerly, with less exertion, so thoroughly did the famous Tonic restore and reinforce his entire nerve system. Mr. Icely considers that the curative properties of Phosierine are marvellous. That will help breadwinners. Mr. P. J. Ice!y (London City Missionary), 79, Brayard Rd., Peckham, writes :—" I am pleased to give my testimony to the value of your Phosferine in the case of nervousness, depression and brain-fag. I have tried it several times, on one occasion especially, I had been laid up for some time and did not appear to receive much good from the doctor's medicine, but after taking a bottle of Phosferine I was soon revived, and in a short time regained strength. I am brought in contact with a good many sunerers in my visits as a London City Missionary, and caa confidently recomnien(i it. February ly, 1905. The Royal Example. Phosferme is used by the Royal Families of Europe whxch, in plain language means that every user of Phosferitie knows and feels that the Tome is commended by the greatest living Physicians. E?
