The term "tally -man" was at one time very generally applied to deal- ers who supplied goods on the instal- ment system. Both buyer and seller kept separate accounts of the amounts defrayed. Whenever a fresh amount was paid, the sum would be written off by both buyer and seller. Thus the two accounts exactly tallied, and each checked the other. "Tally -men" were looked upon as disreputable tradesmen, generally charging exorbitant prices for infer - articles, and dealt mainly in dress, cheap jewelry, hardware and furni- ture. It is amusing to reflect that the tally or instalment system of ob- taining goods is now highly organiz- ed and applied to the purchase of ev- ery conceivable article, and has be- come a system of which even the rich do not disdain to take advantage. tory we find no country where so many revolutions took place simult- aneously; political, industrial, educa- tional, economic, social and religious revolutions. The wonder to me is not that China is confused and that there is unrest there -the wonder is that it is not far worse. There is a story of two men who climbed the Pyre- nees; one had been there before and the other had not. The one who had not been there before woke up the next morning startled by a terrific windstorm. He called his companion and said, "Wake up, I am sure the world is coming to an end!" "Oh, no," said his friend, "that is just dawn on the Pyrenees." That is the way it seems to me about China; all these things that are sweeping through China to -day are the forerun- ners of the wonderful day that is coming to Ghina.

On February 2nd last he said, under oath: "I do not know whether any (Continental bonds) have been traced to Secretary Fall, and I do not know anything a- bout the bonds, . . I never had anything to do with the distribution of any bouds. . . . I don't know anything about it. . . . 1 did not personally receive any of these bonds." On April 24th he again appeared as a witness and this time he testified that he had received $769,000 in Con- tinental bonds, and had turned them over to a subordinate, one Roy J. Barnett, of Chicago, who deposited them in the office vault of the Stan- dard Oil Company of Indiana, where they had remained for seven years. He insisted that he had never meant to convert them to his own use, and could give no explanation of why he had acted in this extremely suspicious manner. There followed two trials. In one of them Stewart was accused of having refused to answer certain questions in the United States Sen- ate. He was acquitted. In the sec - end he was accused of having com- mitted perjury in the manner set forth above. He was also acquitted. But it was a sorry vindication, for in the second trial the technical point was raised that at the time Stewart made the contradictory statements there had not been present a quorum of the Senate. The judge, therefore, ruled that while Stewart might have lied to the Senators who were pres- ent, not enough of them were present to make his offence a criminal one. The Rockefellers connection with the case began at a time when Stewart, H. M. Blackmer and James F. O'Neil, members of the Continental, were all absent from the country, and it ap- peared that the Government's case could not prooeed for lack of their evi- dence. Later Stewart turned up, but Black- mer and are still in Europe, where they will continue to remain. Rockefeller expressed his confidence in Stewart -after his first testimony, but after he admitted having handled the bonds he asked him to resign, and reminded him that ..t a previous interview Stewart had promis,:d to do so at Rockefeller's request. But Stew- art refused, and said he had made no such promise but liad said that he would quit if the Offireholders asked him to do so; in other words, if the shareholders threw him out. There has been some recent activity in the shares of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. This may be the result of the rival interests buying up stock to vote at the annual meeting, which takes place in March. Or it may be the work of speculators who expect to see floating block of stock in great demand as the time approaches for the showdown. The issue being so clear, it is natural to expect to see the Rockefell,rs victorious. h• RHEUMATIC PAINS DUE TO THIN - robie For Muse past 40 BLOOD IL174 Z2Ci=la0 I449,15W4 IIMAN5hplIDES Coupe. . a seme Roadster . . . 850 (with rambk seat) 2 -Door Sedan . . 860 Touring . . . 870 De Luxe Coupe . 870 (nith rumble seat) 4 -Door Sedan . . 890 All prices f. o. b.

Robert Stewart, president of the Standard Oil Com- pany of Indiana. But they will have overlooked the fact that for a genera- tion or more Rockfeller, Sr., has been distinguished, not so much for the amassing of a huge fortune as for the benevolent distribution of it, and that his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was not responsible for any of the ancient and now repudiated practices which once made the Standard Oil Company the very spit and likeness of a devour- ing octopus. Both the Rockefellers are religious men and have taken ac- tive personal interest in furthering various uplift causes. The sen teach- es or has taught a great Bible class, and his 'varous moralizings are per- haps the most tasty with which the newspaper reader has become fam- iliar. So Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., needs no apology for, standing forth in the present crisis as the representative of honest dealing. He is trying to rid his business of a man who has been proved utterly corrupt and untrust- worthy; a man, moreover, of atrocious manners and bullying disposition. This man is Col. Robert Stewart. Col. Stew- art is also ode of the keenest men in American industry, and has built up the Indiana branch of the oil business more successfully than any other braneJh has been built up. is cred- ited with having made scores of rail - Bonaire% and the fact that has in- duced some 18,000 employees to be- come shareholders in the business is an indication of the fine organisation of which he is the head. Col. Stew- art is also a patriot, having, served in the Spanish-American War as a Rough Rider. He is wealthy, :mag- netic, powerful, a born le er, but also, unfortunately, a self-confessed liar and a man who in the opinion a the Rockeifellers is not fit for the position he holds. They are now ap- pealing to other stockholders in the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, of which they -themselves own by 22 per ent. of the stock, to join with them in ousting Stewart, and re -moving a stain from the oil industry. Stewart was one of the incorpora- tors of the Continental Trading C0111- party established in Toronto for the purpose either of creating a huge fund intended for political corruption in the United States, or to enrich the incorporators at the expense of the various oil companies which they re- premted. Sortie of the Liberty bo Pink Pills. After lying in bed tor seven weeks suffering untold agony with inflammatory rheumatism, re- lief finally came through the use of this medicine. I could not move in bed only as they lifted me, and I could only sleep when opiates were given me. The medical treatment I was taking seemed of no avail. Then I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and soon I began to get relief. After taking six or eight boxes I have never felt better in my life. It is several years since this happened and I have had no return of the trouble since. I may add that I recommended the pills to two of my friends who were suffering with rheumatism and the pills were equal- ly ffective in both cases." Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for anaemia, rheumatism, neuralgia, in- digestion or nervousness. Take them as a tonic if you are not in the best physical condition and cultivate a re- sistance that will keep you well and strong.

But before giving up to chronic dys- pepsia, just try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia -not the ordinary commercial carbonate, citrate or milk, but pure Bisurated Magnesia which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powder or tablet form.

Until the beginning of the nineteenth century "tally sticks" were used as a means a ac- cOunting for earns of raerleY Inceived by the British Echequet, and served both as receipt and public records. These sticks were four-sidd and made of wellseasoned Woods,.
