Amusing Passport Incident

THE CAMERON HIGHLANDER AND THE CONSUL-GENERAL.

Kvery male person over 16, says the Transvaal correspondent of th& Scots man, fafti to carry with him at all times hi- residential pa@3—-a ticket setting forth his name, nationality, profession, and place of residence. Any one failing to produce this pass when called upon ia liable to arrest and a tine o! not less than 20s. Well, about two weeks ago a 'surprise'of this kind took place. Several hundred soldiers were m robed into town just after dark and placed two or more at every street corner. Their instructions ©in this occasion seem to have been to itop every person that came along and detain him until tie officer or non eomtniMoned officer came and ex amined his pass. As ill-luck would have it, jast when the fun began— about nine o'clock—a thunder storm and a perfect deluge of rain o»me on. The unfortunates wbo were out that night were doubly unfortunate, for the instructions of the military seem to have been aa stiiot as the weather was unpropitious. Several incidents of the night o-me to my knowledge, one of them at least being rather amusing A friend who had left my house id the suburbs had got pretty well into tffiwn before he was

CALLED UPON TO ,! HALT "

by a Cameron Highlander at a street corner; It was raining in torrents, but be bad to halt and take bis place beside a few more unfortunates below a big electric street lamp. A minute or two later a stout little fellow with his coat neck turned up to his ears oame along at a trot. " Halt," cried the Bedabaok, and then the new comer halted. BWot is de matter? he aaked in breathless surprise, «Ye maun wait there aside the ithers till the officer cornea to examine yer pass.* 11 have not carry yon pass 1 lam ze Co isool Zheneraat de Portugal. (That wasn't the name). You cannot arrest me!' 'I'm no carine wha ye are, AYe got ma orders, and ye're tae stop there wi' the ithers till the officer comes.' The little man obeyed, but stood there in the pouring rain, raging and fuming furiously. After about ten minutes he could atand it no longer. Walking up to tbe big Cameron he said loudly, 1 1 tell you I am ze Oonsool £hen®raalde Portugal. You cannot arrest roe. Igo home !' and he started off across the street; In a second the Cameron was after him, and, taking him by "the collar, brought him back to the lamp-post. • Look here, ma man,' said the sternly, • gin ye try that again, I'll pit this through ye,' and he pointed to his fixed bayonet, The Oonsul sub sided, and waited impatiently as the others had to do till tbe officer came and give bim leave to go.

The Liability of Motor Cars.

Attheßqngay County Ooart, Robert Murton, farmer, of Carlton C.dville, near Lowestoft, sued the Hon John Mulhulland of Wariington Hall, B^ccles, for the aam ofJ.lB, damages arising from injuries sustained by his horse and cart, due, it was alleged, to the negligent and furione driving of a motor car. The horse and oart were passing over a narrow bridge across the Waveney, at Oalton Broard, when the defendant, who was in a motor car with two ladies and a little girl, being unable to pass the other vehicle, sounded a horn twice. The plaintiff's horse was frightened, broke aw~y from the driver, and struck the gateway of the Wherry Hotel,- opaettng the can and injuring the horet. For the plaintiff it was oonteaded that the epeed of the motor car was Ofoeßßive, that the blowing of the horn was an nnreaaonable act, and that the defendgnt bid not u-e proper care and caution in tha circa instances. The defendant denied liability, and without calling upon the defence. Judge Eardley Wilmot gave judgment in favour of the defendant, remarking that motor car. were now recognised by the Legislature, and bad as mticb right to the nse of the highway as any other vehicle. Horses had to get used to them. It was quite clear that the horse was frightened by the warning of the horn, bat sounding the horn was exaotly what the law said drivers of motor cars must do, and he failed to see any evidence of negligence.' The jadgment carried costs for the defendant.

Here's What's Wanted.

A CITIZEN OF ASHBURTON SUP PLIES THE INFORMATION.

Otrer half the complaints of mankind originate with the kidneys. A slight touch of backache at first, Twinges and shooting paiDß in tho loins follow; they must be checked, they lead to graver complications; T|e sufferer seeks relief; Plasters are tried and liniments for the back;

So-called kidney cures which do not cure }

The long looked for relief seems unat .ataable;

If you suffer do you want relief ? Follow,the plan adopted by this Ash burton citizen :

Mrs Bowden, Hampstead, this city, lays ;— * For years I have been troubled with pains in the small of my back. These pains were very bad at times, bub varied • good deal, sometimes easing off a lot. I was always anxlooa to get a care for this ailment and was very glad to obtain a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills ab the Ashburton Drag Go's store in East street. These pills proved a care for my trouble They stopped the pain shortly after I com menced to use them and the pain has never ..turned since.'

Success has brought np many imitations of Doan's pills, but there Is nothing just m good as the remedy which cured Mrs Bowden, therefore be sore yon get the same medicine.

Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, McLellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N.5.W 8

But be sure they are Doan's,

Another Netifalgfc Sufferer Cured.



The Case of Mrs, 0. fdm



(By a Local Reporter.)



A reporter, aoting upon instructions called at the residence of Mrs. Celie Ford, which is located at No. 12 St. Asaph-street, Christchurch. The viva cious manner in which the writer was re ceived indicated Mrs. Ford's willingness to discuss a subject which had obtained a vast amount of popularity. "You appear to be in the best of health and spirits now," remarked our representative. "I am pleased to say that my health could not be better than it is now, and has been for the past six years. All thaiU time has (elapsed sincei I was cured of the very worst of ailments. To my mind, neuralgia is the most pain ful of complaints, yet those who suffer from it seem to get but very little sym fathy. I had such a severe attack that did not know what I was doing half my time. Often I have thought I was heing driven out of my senses." "So you know how it originated, Mrs. Ford?" " I believe it came on through catch ing a severe cold. It commenced with frightful sharp pains in the face, which worked right up to the top of my head. My gums were sore and ten der, making any attempt to masticate my food quite oub of the questioi.w al though I had very little inclination for eating, as my appetite was feeble for some time, and then it died away alto gether. There was one period in par ticular which I am not likely to for get. For three weeks the agonising torture did not leave off for a moment. " I suppose you did not sleep very well P" »



" Sleep I Why, I did nqt close my eyes throughout the whole of that long at tack. And then my system collapsed. I could not hold up against tbe worry ing torment any longer. If I took a small portion of milk diet it affected me as adversely as though I had eaten a solid meal. A sense of general un easiness, accompanied with pricking pains between my shoulders, and a heavy feeling in the chest, helped to increase the miseries of my existence. My nerves were unsettled so much that I was upset and frightened by® any sudden ©sound, which always set* me trembling violently. I became greatly reduced in weight, my face being drawn pinched, and haggard, besides losing all my strength. If I stood up quickly my head used to swim round and round, and then I was overcome by a feeling of faintness which made me clutch at anything handy for support. My suf ferings were so intense that I could not describe them properly if I tried all day, and the anguish was accelerated by the fact that! could get no relief from anything I tried." "What remedies did you give a trial?" © "Oh, I tried all sorts of different me dicines from chemists, besides apply ing hot bandages, which sometimes gave me a little ease; but the pains gra dually came.back again, and were soon twice as severe and irritating as they were before. Then, when I commenced to think my complaint was going to re main for the rest of my life, a friend who had been a great sufferer from neural gia called and told me how she had >een cured by Clements Tonic after having vainly experimented with other medicines. My hopes were raised by this information, and I quickly had a bottle of Clements Tonic in my house, [ think people ought never to be with out it in case of necessity, for it is certainly the best medicine ever sold. [ took several doses of Clements Tonic during the night, and I found the ter rific shooting pains becoming less and less severe, although they kept me wake till the morning dawned, when I fell into sound sleep, and when I awoke the neuralgia was cured. I was delighted and overjoyed, yet I took bhe precaution to keep on with Clements Tonic to ensure the defeat of my com plaint. The result was that Clements Tonic settled my nerves completely, and restored my digestive organs to a healthy state. I regained my appetite, and soon got stout and strong. Neural gia or ill-health of any description has never since troubled me. I have often recommended Clements Tonic to my frends, always with satisfactory results, and you may publish my statements m any way."
