STRANGE TALES OF THE REDBEARD BANDITS.
(Special to The Shanghai Times.)
Seoul, April 10th, 1904.
It is no secret that there are japanese in disguise as Chinese, going with impunity among the real Chinese, all over the Russian lines, as coolies ar navies, barrack-builders, _trench-diggers...pedlars, hewers of wood and drawers of water, vendors of beer and cigarettes and cheap pocket knives, and everything else imaginable. The Russians know it but cannol prevent it, for there is absolutely no telling o Japanese from a Chinese if made up alike, and the question cannot be solved by excluding all, for the Russians cannot get along without the Chinese. The British India without any in- doos would not be more helpless. Though we hear so much of Russian emigrants and peasant-soldiers "pouring" into this part of the world, they seem to have been swallowed up, for when there is work to be done it has lo wait till Chinese can be got. Without them the Russians seem unable even to carry on the war. And when Chinese are admitted, one never knows which one among them may be a disguised Japanese.
Of course, as long as he is in Manchuria he keeps his secret as closely as the grave, for his life probably stepearls on it. But having got clear away, he likes to be rid of pigtail and dirty garb, and becomes once more a clean and decent Japanese. Usually the transformation is effected in private. so that none but his intimates know; for at a lodginghouse used by both nationalities, nobody keeps count, or notices if a Chinaman goes in and a Japanese comes out. So it is rather curious work getting on the track of these men from Manchuria, and finding out anything about them. Of course, they do not reveal their identity and tell all they know to anyone, but on the other hand even the most discreet man can have an acquaintance or two, with whom he may converse about his adventures, so long as he is only telling of things which can be seen and known by all.
It is no secre: that hawkers from village to village in Manchuria, selling buttons and lapes, and doing other harmless necessary business, even in reginas infested by the | Hung-ha-tze, the Red-Beard bandits. It is no secret that a man can join the bandits, miding towns, stealing whole herds of cattle, cutting lelegraph wires and tearing up rails to baffle the pursuing forces, and disappearing as swiftly and mysteriously as Dewet in the Transvaal or Aguinaldo in the Philippines, And it is well known how, in the last resort, if hotly pressed the handits can either make
ACCIDENT IN AN ENGLISH
COAL PIT.
While working in a Hanley coal pit some years ago John Henshall lost an eye from a spark at the pick-end. The injury set up inflammation, which compelled the doctors to remove the eye. Finding his occupation as miner gonr, he has since worked as a gar dener and at odd work. He is a most respect. able and intelligent man, the victim of repeated misfortunes,
Mr. John Henshall.
Victim of an accident at Hanley. "I am getting on in years,” he said-"nearly sixty-eight-and since I lost my eye I have done no work in the pits. That is, however, not the only trouble I have had. For two years I was laid up with an attack of liver complaint, which caused acute indigestion. I also suffered from nervous debility. I hail agonising pains in the head, and was subject to feelings of giddiness. I was hardly able to eat, and got into a very weak, low, and depressed state of health. Indeed, I used to feel at times like a man out of his mind, and but for. Ir. Williams pink pills I don't know what would have become of me.
"To see if I could get any benefit,” said Mr. Henshall, continuing his story,-"I went to Rhyl, and spent three weeks at one of the con. valescent homes there. But I got no better;) in fact, while I was at Rhy! I thought my end was approaching, and feeling that should rather die at home, I came back to Stafford. shite. 1 still suffered on my return, and for a time I became an out-patient at the North Staffordshire Infirmary. It was Dr. Williamas' pink pills for pale people that eventually cured me."
"How came you to take them?"
"Why, my son came from the North of England to visit me, and to see if the change would do me any good I went back with him to his home. My son was at that time taking Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, and he gave me some to try. I took the greater part of a bottle and in a fortnight they made a new man of me. I was able to go to work.
"And how is your health today?" was the next question.
"Oh, I am much better," replied Mr. Hen shall, * | have a better appetite, my nerves are
stronger, and I seem to have more vigour in me. Considering my age, I am feeling very fit indeed."
Mr. Henshall, asked if he had any objection to his story being published, said: "I have only told you what is true, and there can be no objection to that being published."
her would think that she was once a terrible sufferer.
Talking to the representative of a local news. paper at her home (12 Aberlair-crescent, Merthyr Vale, Wales), Mrs. Hands, who is 27 years old,' said:
"Six years since I was laid low with a terrible attack of rheumatism; three years later I had enteric fever, which left me prostrated with dropsy and heart disease. But thanks to Dr. Williams pink pills for pale people I am now a strong and healthy woman.

A slight attack gives people a lot to grumble about, but I had it in its worst form, and went through agonising pains.

cure me after all the medicine I had taken. However, I sent for a bottle, and I afterwards bought another bottle and soon discovered that my strength was returning. I persevered with the pills, with the result that I now almost look as if I have never had a day's illness in my life. I can do all my work in the house, and can go about anywhere and stand any excitement. Strang? Yes, I can now do my wider circulation than any journal in the Far washing and fetch my bread from the bake-East. house, which is some distance away from the shop. I keep Dr. Williams' pink pills in the house now, and occasionally take one as a tonic."
Mrs. Hands is quite right in this respect. No better tonic has ever been discovered. All over the land there live strong men and women who were ance miserable invalids, hut whom Dr. Williams pink pills have made strong. These pills are not a cure all. They cure the one thing that is the cause of mast diseases- poor blood. Acting on the blood, and on the nerves through the blood, they have cured anmmia, bile, consumption, bronchitis, eczema, fits, gout, heart disease, paralysis, and the ailments which women suffer in silence. It is the genuine pills, not substitutes (which some shopmen push), that cure. The full name on the pink wrapper is a guarantee of genuineness. Refuse pink pills that don't bear Dr. Williams' name, You can send direct for the pills to Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holborn-viaduct, London, enclosing the price, two shillings and ninepence for a bottle, or buy them at any honest shop, where they sell you what you ask

terms and share the loot with the Cossacks or resume the role of peaceful peasants and appear in the fields working as innocently as any yoke that ever lived on a farm. The peasantry do not as a rule betray them, for several reasons. First, from the fear of ven- geance; secondly, because the Hung-hu-tze rather follow the style of old Robin Hood in posing as friends of the poor (as a matter of policy and finally, because the Cossacks themselves are worse brigands than the Hung hu-tze. Soldiers chiefly prey on the poor and helpless, leaving influential people care- { fully alone. The people in this part of the The experience of Mr. Henshall is that of world simply say 'It is all the same whether

Heaven will that human Wemen they especially help in those character. beings must suffer certain evils." That is theistic troubles which they do not talk about. attitude of the Chinese at large.
It may be thought that Manchuria is inhabit ed mainly by Manchus, but that is not the case. A's England is now more Saxon than Norman, despite the Conquest 840 years ago, so not only in China but in Manchuria also, the race which held the military ascendency is outnumbered and is becoming gradually merged in the sub- ject race. The Chinese have overrun Man- churia, and it is they chiefly who till the soil, grow crops and stocks, build and trade, and are the making of the country and its very life. The Chinese rather despise the Manchus as Tartar savages, but acquiesce in their perman- ent domination; there must be a ruling class, it matters little whether Western barbarian, Man. chu barbarian, or the little Island barbarian from the direction of the Rising Sun. All are neces sary evils, to be propitiated if they are thought likely to be dangerous; just like the rulers of the Unseen World, call them gods or devils or spirit-powers, they are much the same- human beings must be under the control of one or other, and the only thing to do is to avoid any idea of resisting, and to propitiate whichever has the most power to injure.
So it is not easy to organise any serious movements against Russia, and the reports about China, including Manchuria, to rise en
masse and defond itself, are all nonsense. The Japanesa Govemment, very rightly, takes care to inform itself as well as possible about every- thing, and has a very good idea what might and what might not be dɔne with the population of Manchurie. Officially, of course, Japan cannot countenance any attempt to stir up a rising in Manchuria, becausa it might inflame China, and then all the powers might become embroiled. But whatever any government may say or do, there is no power to prevent an individual eluding control and acting on his own responsibility, at his own, peril. There are always adventur ous man who delight to penetrate even into the enemy's camp and do anything that circum- stances allow.
