There. are a great many features ip that kidnapping story, which call for an explanation and which are too incongruous to be accepted as true without sufficient proof. There is no doubt that the boy was gone for about ten days and that his parents did not seem to know where to look for him, ner in which the hoy 'was restored to his parents has avoused the suspicion, that some member of the Mannino fa- mily at least knew more gbout the caso than the family was willing to admit, The public began to. suspect wme time before the "boy returned, that there was a colored gentleman in the woodpile and jumped 'at the con- clusion that the father of the boy was in direct. touch with the members of the Black Hand and was negotiating with them over the heads of the de- tectives entrusted with the investiga- tion of the case. H everything is considered it must be admitted, that, up to the present time, no actual proof of the existence of the Black Hand has been offered by the police and = that, for that reason the theory is quite plausible, that the crimes laid at the . door of that my- sterious organization were really per- petrated by individuals independent of any secret organization. A LUCKY WOMAN. How Good Health Came To Mrs. Deschesne After Much Suffering. Mrs. Abraham Deschesne, wife of a well known farmer at St. Leon le Grand, Que., considers herself a lucky woman. And she has good cause as the following interview will show: "I was badly run down and very merv- ous. Each ddy brought its share of household duties, but 1 was too weak to perform them. My nerves were ina terrible condition. Fa not sleep and the least sound would startle me. 1 tried "several medicines and tonic wines, but none of them helped me. In tact I' was continually growing worse, and begam to despair of ever being well again. One day a friend called to see me and strongly advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I decided to do so, and it was not long before they began to help me. I gained in strength from day to day; my nerves hecame strong and quiet; and after using about half a dozen boxes of the pills I was fully restored to my old time health and cheerfulness. I now think Dr. Williams Pink Pills an ideal medicine for weak women." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed the nerves. with new, rich, red blood, thus strengthening and soothing them, and curing such nerve troubles as neural- gia, St. Vitus dance, partial paralys- is and locomotor ataxia. These pills cure also all troubles due to poor and watery blood, including the special ailments of women.

Make them take exercise, if you can do it no other way, put pigs in sepa- rate pens and let them get hungry, and exercise in getting to their moth er. That is one way; another is to let the pigs out of the pen with the dam on nice warm dgvs, and drive them around gently, but. if it is too cold and wet use the first method.

It is Offida, has been ice in the theft sons in connection with the theft is imminent, One of Cardinal Vannutelli's last acts in London before returning to Rome was to visit the South Kensing- ton museum. His eminence wished to inspect there the wonderful bishop's cope of the thirteenth century, which was presented to the cathedral 'of Ascoli-Piceno, Italy, by Pope Nicho- las ¥V. The cope had been venerated and admired for 700 years, when it was stolen from the cathedral a year age. di Pierpont Morgan bought the cope and lent it to the museum for exhibi- tion. He did not know the vestment's history, and, of course, was ignorant, of the circumstances. under which it was offered to him. Equally, of course he realized its marvelous artistic beau- ty. So he bought it. Cardinal Vannutelli identified the cope and confirmed the statement that it had been stolen. He wanted to meet Mr. Morgan, but the financier was in the United States. The Roman Catholic authorities in London and Rome are certain that Mr. Morgan will restore the vestment to the own- ers and oustodiane, Indeed, it is reli- ably reported that the moment Mr, Morgan learned that the cone belonged to. the cathedral, he gave assurances that he would return it there.

How the struggling peasantry of Thibet are tyrannized over by the in- dolent lamas is well shown by a let ter peceived from the British camp at Gyangtse, dated June 28th: "The country is miserably poor, yet the monasteries are simply rolling in wealth. The monks exact forced labor from the peasantry and leave them a bare pittance just as the French no- blesse did before the Revolution. The peasants are simply groaning under the intolerable tyranny of these fat licentions wonks. It is all nonsense to imagine that there is any saintly as- ceticiem about them.
