Vote for the men who will win this fall—we tell it to you as it is. Pie the Staple Diet. The pie center of the country is Brockton, Mass. It claims all kinds of records and from the figures of its industry it deserves recognition. For pie-making and pie-eating, for big pies and little pies, for thin pies and thick pies, for light pies and heavy pies, it is willing to enter the arena against any city in the Union, barring none. Three factories alone turn out 365,000 pies every year, but this is only a small portion of the city's pie industry. The 40,000 inhabitants consume about 3,000 pies daily, or over 1,000,000 each year. If laid in a straight line, edge for edge, they would make a pie bicycle path from Boston to Chicago. At 10 cen's each, and they are worth more than that, Brockton consumes $2.50 worth of pie per citizen each year. The champion pie-maker of the town is a boarding house keeper, Mrs. Viola V. King, of 475 Montello street, a sister-in-law of W. L. Douglas, the millionaire shoe manufacturer. Her record last year was 4,695 pies, or about 13 pies a day for every day in the year. The holder of second place in the pie-making industry is another boarding house keeper, Mrs. Margaret Caskin, proprietress of the Empire house, who has 2,840 pies to her credit. The proof of the wholesomeness of pie as an article of diet is in the eating, and Mrs. Caskin points proudly to boarders that have been with her to 19 years and have never had a day sickness from indigestion.—Omaha World. Nangkang, a large city in Kwangse province, China, is reported to be taken by rebels, who have been besieging the city for several days. Down Trodden EDITORIALS MAYOR, W. H. Craddock the next governor of Kansas is acquiring himself in a very commendable way and is winning laurels all over the state—Its the common people that with him—Those who believe in doing right. No political party can hope to manage the sable sons of Ham unless they are willing to divide up the representation in public service. The Negro despite the fact, that his financial encouragement is all but flattering is still climbing in the business world in Kansas City, Kansas. A colored divine said last week that nine out of every ten young Negroes of both sex were drifting towards the jails, prisons, gambling dens and houses of ill repute, was he right? CRADDOCK, and Wyandotte county should be the cry. Can we fail if the loyal men lay their shoulders to the wheel and "Do right." It's said you will have to hurry if you want to see "John" the next county attorney is making such a run, you cannot stop him. THOSE, people who amount to any thing in the walks of life are always the ones the most damaging but luckily groudless thing can be said about. IF, weather is a forecast of coming events, then, the indications are for a democratic victory in November. CARRIE Nation and her little hatchet is no more but her soul goes marching on. The public has grown so accustomed to the spasmodic joint closing disease in this city at about election time—that scarcely a ripple is caused in the usual traffic of the spirits. It's encouraging to know that the Negroes throughout the state are awakening to the fact, that the culmination of their future hopes in political affairs can only be obtained by independency. The Negro public schools are giving early promise of an exceedingly heavy attendance this season. In fact they will all be overcrowded long are the first term ends. A prominet Negro remarked the other day that there was something wrong with the Negro parents or school teachers—who can say where the fault lies in the proper training of the young Negro. It’s an evident fact they say that unless the black voters tret up, no republican congress is in sigh. Winfield Freeman and the Topeka Plaindcalers troubles are nothing $t_v$ us because we are with the winner Hon. Mason Peters, the next probate judge of Wyandotte County. A man who goes to public function to show bull dogism or pugilistic abilities ought to be muzzled as a guarantee to those who go to these places for the good to be obtained. A man seldom realizes the gravity of the matrimonial obligation “for better or for worse.” A wife either proves a blessing or a curse to a man. It is said that a woman from Kansas made the first scream that helped to cause the stampede an awful disaster in the Shiloh Baptist church in Birmingham Ala., last week. It is just like Kansas, for it has that name of being first in everything. If the truth was known, perhaps the first person killed was a Kansasan and the first to escape was a Kansasan. There is one feature about the affair and that is that all of the Kansas City, Kans. delegates are showing up. During the raiding of several Kansas saloons in our city by sherif Harry Men denhall an excited man rushed and asked what was the trouble-Some one replied only Harry-Nation and his hatchet having some fun. Vote this year good people not for par- ty sake but for the best men for the places to be filled. Woman was the cause of it all goes the song, true it is, for the Birmingham dis- aster can be attributed to her. Since the fall of man-woman has played her part.

The village of Hempstead is famous for its beautiful and elaborate private parks. The newest garden decoration is not only the "Liberty Englightening the World," with the goddess with uplifted arm, and even the great pedestal reproduced in every detail. The statue at Hempstead is not so large, to be sure, as that which NEW ENGRAVING DEVICE M. Emile Bayard, a French artist, has invented an apparatus by which, it is claimed, anyone can easily become an expert engraver. It is known as the cellulotype, and it consists of a transparent place, which may be made of any size. A plate of this kind weighs about six times less than a copper plate, such as is generally used by engravers, and it is three times less expensive. Its main advantage, however, lies in the fact that it is transparent, for, thanks to this quality, the artist is enabled to trace directly on the model. A woman in a dress reading a book. The girl in her accompanying picture is looking at some work which she has just traced on a cellulotype plate. Before she began she placed the transparent plate over the model and took care to fasten it firmly, either with pins or strips of gummed paper. Then she plowed with heat tracing instrument the lines of the design as she saw them through the transparent plate. The tools needed for work of this kind are very simple and easily procured. SCHOOLS FOR RAILROADS One of the great Western railroads has force a system of education for the trainmen which rests upon a more scientific basis than has, until recently, been recognized as needful. The fundamental principle lies in what the mental scientists term reflex action, or sub-conscious control. The brain may be taught to act according to the signals of the various senses without conscious thought. The first step is the complete training of the trainmen to their duties, so they respond on the instant, almost involuntarily, to any emergency. In the life of the railroader there is no time for the various reasoning. He must act accordingly. The engine driver is placed upon to save a train from derailment he will be the more likely to succeed if his brain has been so trained to act, not in response to his will, but to habit. Certain circumstances will call forth certain actions, regardless of his own volition, so the man is put through a regular course of practical railroading before he is employed at all The applicant for a position must not only be able to answer the questions at an examination—he must give his replies without hesitation or he is rejected. The habit of quick action must be strong upon him. Long experience and close observation have demonstrated that most men after the age of 30 or 35 are not capable of acquiring this habit. The future trainman must begin young. So, in this, as in other branches of learning, the pupils are youthful. NO CHINESE WASTEPAPER Chinese regard as sacred paper that is either printed or written upon in their own language. A conscientious Chinaman would fear for the peril of his immortal soul were he to destroy even the smallest scrap. Printed labels, such as those found on ginger jars, are not even exempt. In the Chinese quarter of New York a furnace, with its own priests and attendants, is lighted twice a week to consume the accumulation of waste paper, which is collected from the streets and houses by men specially selected for the purpose. After the papers are burned the ashes are taken from the furnace, put on a ship belonging to a Chinese company, and as soon as the vessel is loaded it goes out to see, when the ashes are in the waters. dominates New York harbor, but it is high enough to be seen for a considerable distance and it attracts much attention. The Hempstead goddess is built entirely of stone and plaster, and rises to a height of upward of 20 feet, as usus as who designed and modeled the statue, practically without any assistance. The base is raised several feet above the ground, standing on a broad stone TOWN'S BOOM TAX The value of "letting people know about it" is being recognized in curious quarters nowadays, when anything is to be bought or sold. In the Valley of the Sacramento, in California, there is levied a tax of two cents on the $100 for the purpose of creating a fund to purchase the value in the newspapers of the East and elsewhere. This is an unusual recognition of the value of press advertising. Another instance is that of the railroads in Nebraska buying space in the papers of the state wherein to exploit their reasons against the proposed increase of railway taxes. The people of the state are strongly in favor of a higher rate, in view of the published accounts of the excessive dividends declared by those railroads last year. In the meantime there is a merry war between the advertising and editorial columns of some of those Nebraska newspapers. The one gives numerous reasons for this, and should remain as it is, while perhaps the opposite page will contain lengthy editorials showing good cause why the rate should be increased. STATUE WEEPS BLOOD? There was considerable excitement in Naples recently owing to a rumor that tears of blood had fallen from a marble Madonna in that city.

Apparently the first to utilize her talents in this direction was Frau Clara Hoppenrath of Berlin. She fashioned artistic t vases, and since then she has made a beautiful imitation of a cluster of silver thistles which has been bought by the king of Roumania. Tin is an easy material to manipulate NECKLACE OF SHELLS. In New Pomerania shells and dried snails are used instead of money, and those natives who are fortunate enough to have a sufficient quantity string them together and wear them around their necks. The more shells and snails a person has the longer the necklace is, and a necklace of this kind is rather a striking ornament. It naturally follows that the wealthiest natives have the longest necklaces and that from the length of the necklace one can form in each case an exact estimate as to the amount of property owned by the weaker. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens here, as in civilized communities, that the wealthiest natives become financially embarrassed, and then slowly but surely their necklaces diminish in size. The official executioner of Tokio died recently. His death was curious in itself, and, considering his profession, was little short of remarkable. He was crossing a railway track near Tokio when he was run down by a fast express. The body was found by the track with his head and torso cut off, which had been cut off by the official executioner himself. Otherwise there was not a mark on the body. foundation. Four flights of steps lead from the level of the lawn to this little plaza. These staircases are guarded by stone lions and have been elaborately decorated. The familiar design of the base of the statue has been copied to the last detail, and the statue, which surmounts the whole, is very lifelike, or rather annealed. The entire statue is so well thought of that many citizens are anxious to have it transplanted to the public square of Hempstead. seen them fall, and others, while not quite so positive as to the quality of the tears, were, nevertheless, certain that the statue had wept. The rector of the church in which the statue stands discovered that it was simply a case of auto-suggestion. Those who claimed to have seen the tears perished, and the rector did not hesitate to tell them that they were suffering under a delusion. He then told his congregation that what they supposed to be a miracle was a mere hallucination, where they became so incensed that they drove him from the pulpit and would have done him serious injury if he had not barricaded himself in the rectory. A Washington special to the New York Times says: An officer who served on the famous ram Merrimac and subsequently on the Confederate battlefield Alabama under Semmes is about to enter the Colombian naval service. He is Captain Henry Marmaduke, and he is to join the Colombian navy with two ex-gunners of the United States navy. Captain Marmaduke is to sail for Colombia on the new war wives, which he has purchased by Senior Concha, the Colombian minister, at Seattle. His services have been engaged to aid in suppressing the Colombian revolt. ```markdown ``` and any woman who is a good artist will have little difficulty in shaping it as she desires. The design must first be carefully drawn on the tin, or rather punched it in, and then as carefully cut out. Only a few tools are needed for the work, and the necessary skill in their use can soon be acquired. As decorations for articles of majolica and wood delicate tin ornaments are now becoming popular in Germany, and almost all of them are made by women. PROFITED BY SPENDING Novel was an experiment once tried by Rudyard Kipling for the purpose of checking household expenses, and it had a somewhat different result than was anticipated. He opened a small account at a local bank in order to pay every bill with a check. Many of the checks were for very small amounts, and the shrewd shopkeepers soon discovered that they could get more for the checks from autograph collectors than from the bank. The consequence was that at the end of month Mr. Brigham's bank account showed a bigger balance than the counterfeits of his check book. This puzzled him very much until he happened one day to call at an office where the head was an enthusiastic autograph collector, and found one of his checks framed and hanging on the wall. A meeting of the Women's Union of the Church of England Temperature society deployed the lot of the 100,000 women employed in drinking bars, and urged that barmaids be done away with. Leopoldo Batres, the Mexican conservator of national monuments, has just concluded a year's archeological excavation of the ruins of Zapotecan cities in cities HENPECKING CHINESE HENPECKING CHINESE WIVES HAVE INFLUENCE IN FLOWER KINGDOM. Numerous References to Abused Husbands in Chinese Literature Privileges of Females. New York Times: "Chinese humorous literature abounds with references to henpecked husbands," said Prof. Herbert Allen Giles of the University of Cambridge in the closing lecture of his course at Columbia. Then he went on to tell a sample story culled from this branch of Chinese literature. "Ten henpecked husbands resolved to form a society to resist the impositions of their wives," he said. "The ten wives heard of the plan, and while the meeting for organization was in progress entered in a body. Nine of the rebellious husbands incontinently bolted, but the tenth one retained his place, quite unmoved by the frightful apparition. The ten ladies, merely smiling contemptuously on the one man left behind, returned to their homes, satisfied with the success of their raid. The nine husbands thereupon returned and resolved to make the heroic tenth the president of the society. When they went, however, to inform him of the honor, it was found that he had died of fright. "Women have a few privileges that men have not," continued Prof. Giles. "They are exempt from the bamboo punishment; no woman can be bambooed. And a woman is a source of anxiety and misgiving to magistrate and counsel in any case in which she is forced to enter into an argument with a woman—not from any feeling of chivalry at all, but from a rooted conviction that he will get the worst of it." Prof. Giles continued to reveal masculine secrets by describing something which he said really took place at dinner at which a number of high class women were present. The host, addressing himself to the latter, inquired: "Do you fear the inner ones?" Upon inquiry, he explained that he meant their wives, and added, with unconscious paths, that many Chinamen stood in constant fear of their wives. "Now, for example, he does," said the host, naively, pointing at a solemn and rotund magistrate, who had impressed every one as filled with a sense of his own importance. At this all the Europeans present burst into uncontrollable laughter, when he surprised the Chinamen, who had been acquired information on what they thought were very serious matters. Prof. Giles attacked a good many boary traditions, which have wrapped Chinese women in a cloud of gloom. He declared that while infanticide did exist, it was no more prevalent than in England and some other Christian western countries. The presence of the ghastly tablets on Chinese river banks, announcing to the public that "Female children must not be drowned here," he explained in the following way: All rich Chinamen are expected to do something for the elevation of the people, either in the way of charity, education or like. They do not society look at them ask questions, they have printed and circulated great numbers of tracts, warning the people against immoral practices—opium eating and others. It is men of this class who have erected these tablets on the river banks and lake shores, without the least regard as to whether any girl baby ever has been drowned there or not. As to the "baby towers," of which Miss Gordon-Cumming gives such a horrible description in her book, he declared they were for the benefit of parents too poor to grave for burials for their children. He stated in his Bishop's statement that 11 Bible women had confessed to her that they had destroyed not less than five girl infants each. He was not at all surprised at this, he said. It would be just like them to say so, although he did not believe a word of it. The Chinese seemed to think that the only way to excite the respect of foreigners was by exaggeration. "If girl children are destroyed," Prof. Giles continued, "there must be an altogether disproportionate number of female infants born in China. Every Chinaman has a sacred duty to perform when he reaches the age of 18—to marry. Every adult Chinaman has a wife. Every Chinaman has several. The emperor has 72. It would seem that this would absorb a fairly proportionate number of women." All Chinese girls of good family, he said, were taught to read, and there was a great quantity of educational literature for girls. A mass of poetry existed, written by women, and one of the dynastic histories was written by a woman. Women went out unveiled veils having been abolished in the seventh century. In that century, also women were admitted to official life in China, and some of them rose to the highest positions. But by the close of the eighth century men had rigorously excluded them from public life. Women took no part in social life, excepting in company of their own sex. They knew no men excepting those of their own family. Boys and girls were seped from the age of 7 when the boy went to school. A Chinaman never referred to his wife. It was not good form even to ask after her health. Her existence was ignored, although the Chinese father often spoke of his children. Foot-binding, he confessed, was a "horrible custom." The real obstacle to its abolishment was the rigid rule of fashion, which made it so difficult to marry a girl with unbound feet. The "Natural Food Society" composed of women of all skill levels, though including many influential people, had been unable to make much impression on the national custom. A Tartar emperor, back in the early centuries, issued a decree against foot-binding, but he was obliged to rescind it. Although the Tartars could conceive their own fashion, they quer this custom. Within a few months, he said, another decree to the same effect had been issued. He Had Life Preservers Captain Uriah B. Dodge, an elderly son of the sea who has been taking sailing and fishing parties out from Block Island ever since that place has been a summer resort, had with one of his parties a very old lady who had been liquor worse than Carrie Nation ever did; but the captain did not know that. He was gazing abstractedly at the bellyfishing sail of his big Cape Cod catboy when the old lady, waking from a reverie, said: "Captain, have you any life preservers on board?" "Yes, marm," replied the captain suddenly brought back from his day dreaming, "whisky and Medford rum. Which will you have?" It took the good captain five minutes to get the old Prohibitionist that he had not insulted her, but had simply put a sailor's interpretation on her question—New York Times. LAST SHOT OF CIVIL WAR It Was Fired by Capt. S.H.Barton at a Battle in Texas. Washington Post: The statement by the Post that Capt. James M. Kennly, one of the attaches of the house of representatives, was a member of the crew that fired the first shot during the civil war, has revealed the fact that the last shot of the same struggle was fired by S.H. McCormack ex-Confederate, now living in western Texas. The information came from a Texan who was visiting in Washington a few days ago, and who was well informed as to the facts in the case. "When," said the gentleman, "a line of the Confederate cavalry was slowly retiring from the field on the plains of Brazos Santiago, in Texas, where the blue and the gray sand met in deadly encounter for the last time, a soldier turned in his saddle, and, throwing his gun to his shoulder, fired. It proved to be the last shot of the enemy in the last shot of the long war. Barton was a captain in the Confederate army and was held in high esteem by his superiors and loved by the brave Texans he led. "Promotion sought him many times after the smoke of battle had cleared from the red field and soldiers were talking of his dauntless courage, but he preferred to serve with the comrades of his boyhood. He now lives at Del Rio, in western Texas, where he owns one of the most desirable small ranches in the state and considerable town property. Capt. Barton is sure that he fired the last shot at the close of the battle, and a small wielding believe him, for he is a perfectly truthful man and would not misrepresent a matter of that kind in the least, not even to have his fame spread over 40 pages of history. "The story of that last battle, which was fought on the 13th day of May, 1865, after the war was ended and peace was declared, has escaped the attention that it merits, for it was an affair of no little importance. Gen. Ebert Brown, who recently died at West Plains, Mo., was in command of the troops in southern Texas, and he was killed in the fierce cerning the termination of hostilities. Gen. J. F. Slaughter, who commanded the Confederate troops encamped at Brazos Santiago, had heard rumors of the surrender of the armies commanded by Lee. Johnson and other generals, but he had received no official notice of those facts from the war department. General Brown, under a flag of truce, informed the Confederates of the state of Washington and Richmond, at the same time, giving them to come in and lay down their arms, as the war was certainly over. "General Slaughter refused to act in the affair of such importance until he was better informed. Thereupon Colonel Barret, at the head of a considerable force, was dispatched to break up the enemy's camp. A hot battle ensued, and, curiously enough, most of the fighting was done on the old field of Palo Alto, where General Taylor achieved his victory before. The French soldiers encamped on the southern shore of the Rio Grande were in sympathy with the Southerners, and they kept General Slaughter posted as to the movements of the Federal troops. Several spirited encounters occurred, and the loss sustained by some of the colored regiments must have been severe." "While the battle raged the Confederates were frequently informed by some bold cavalrymen in blue that the war is ended; why don't you go home?" ed: "Lee surrendered a month ago; the war is ended; why don't you go home?" "When the engagement was hottest, General Slaughter received dispatches, and the French sent him a bundle of newspapers. Fully satisfied that the cause for which they were fighting was forever lost, he ordered the firing to be stopped, and the other side neither side could have claimed any advantage, but both armies began to retire from the field at the same time. "As Capt. S. H. Barton, in command of the rear guard, was slowly riding away a stray ball struck a young man by his side, and he fell from his saddle. "He was certainly the last man killed in the attack, and it was unable to recall his name. I thought that was hard luck,' said the old soldier. "The young man had served four years and never got a scratch. The last bullet that came our way killed him. Prompted by spite at fate than bitterness toward the enemy, I turned away and ran to the blue line, which I hope was out of range. That was certainly the last shot of the great war." Intellectual Brilliancy Recently a Paris psychologist announced that he had conclusively proved that malformation of the brain produces intellectual brilliance. The theory is that deformity, disease or accident causes the abnormal development of some part of the brain, and the result is genius. In support of this, several cases are mentioned. It is pointed out that he wrote the book "Lost" while he was blind, and it said that the blindness confirmed his mind to a certain scope in a manner that made it possible for him to evolve the great epic. Cases of a somewhat different nature are shown in the elegant writings of Thomas de Quincy and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, both of whom had brains in which the excessive use of opium had made havoc. De Quincy describes his horrible experience with opium taken in the form of laureum in his Conversation with the Frenchman Bryon's club foot is seriously advanced as the cause of his lyric power, and the point is made that Sir Walter Scott's most brilliant work was dictated from a sick bed. Mozart and Wagner both had deformed brains, said to have been due to disease and bumps while they were children.—Answers. Knox County's Big Apples Knox County's Big Apples . . . The rivalry is becoming more spirited among the apple growers of this county and among the apples and apples on exhibition. The largest and latest addition to the collection was that brought to the Republican-Register office on Friday by D. C. Smith of Dahinda. Its measurement is 16 1-16 inches in circumference, and weighed 21 ounces when it was picked. The variety is known to nurserymen as the Red Bletghelmer, and the tree was purchased of Chase Bros. of Rochester. N. Y., and set out in 1896, and has borne apples for the county. The tree has the record-breaking apple raised in Knox county, and in fact it out-measures any other apple put forth for an exhibition. The qualities of the apple are equally as good for eating as for cooking and in the latter the quality is unsurpassed. -Galesburg (III.) Republican-Register.

Sept. 8—More than 1,000 retail druggists, coming from all parts of the Union and representing the 75,000 persons engaged in that business in the United States, are gathered in Philadelphia for the golden jubilee convention of the American Pharmaceutical association. The gathering is the most important of its kind ever held in America and the pharmaceutical associations of Germany, England and Ireland are represented by fraternities gates. Probably the most interesting feature is the exhibition of the Hotel cultural hall. This exhibition consists of a large display illustrating in a comprehensive way the progress of the pharmaceutical profession during the past half-century or since the organization of the American Pharmaceutical association. The exhibits include almost everything found on the druggists' shelves, ranging from the horse leech, which 50 years ago was considered an indispensable part of the stock of every druggist, to adrenaline and other late discoveries in the pharmacy formally opened today in the assembly room of the Hotel Walton and will continue until next Friday. The officers in charge are Henry M. Whelpley of St. Louis, president; and Charles Caspari, Jr., of New York, secretary. A. H. WEIR. Snark of the Universe, Concatenated Order of Hoo Hoos. EMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA Not Much Offered at Present to Intending Emigrants to Britain's South African Colonies. London, Sept. 9.—The latest information issued by the colonial office indicates that there is not much offered at present to intending emigrants to South Africa. While there is a fair demand for skilled artisans, such as carpenters, masons, plumbers and tinsmiths, there is little or no opening for unskilled labor, or for clerks. In the Transvail department, where work will find employment, and there are still hundreds of refugees in the coast towns who have been unable to find work or to return to Johannesburg or the other mining centers. It is further stated that the cost of living and house rents are enormously high, and tend to increase Fair at Yankton Opens. Yankton, S. D., Sept. 9.—The great quantities of wheat and other grains the South Dakota farmer is raising this year are illustrated as the striking feature of the state fair, which opened for a week in this city today. The display of cereals is the largest ever made in this part of the country. The exhibits of live stock, agricultural machinery, horticultural products and women's work are also well up to the standard and from all indications the fair will be the banner exhibition of the year in the Northwest. California State Fair Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 9. —The livestock exhibition, including horses, cattle, swine and sheep, is the distinguishing feature of the California State fair, which opened today. The horticultural display is one of the best ever seen in California and the poultry and agricultural departments are also well filled. The fair continues two weeks and the management expects a record-breaking attendance. Racing begins tomorrow and will include running, trotting, and pacing races.

"First rate, only I'm gettin' rather sick uv soup," replied Uncle Bill, "but havein' them seven teeth out brought me good luck, 'cause I haint had any toothache since an' I feel like our-time winner jest startin' in the game. My, but what a change it makes in the view of life, havin' a few aches an' pains. A ago I couldn't see anything more in life that was desirable an' now everything that was tinted like a rainbow. I've had my妻yur fur a mouth full uv teeth, 'n I'll be eaten' corn beef an' cabbage agin purty soon, but I told the dentist not ter put 13 teeth on a plate, 'cause I didn't want no bad luck with 'em." "You are not superstitious, I hope," said the editor. "No. I haint superstitious, an' I don't want anything in my mouth ter make me so. When a feller is all free from superstition he wants ter stear clear uh hooodoons an' sich like, else he may breed a lot uv it. Now if I had a set uv teeth made an they happened ter have 13 teeth on it, yer can see where I'd git off at in a month or two," said Uncle Bill. "If number 13 is lingerin' his eny place an anything happens different we would like, it gits blamed fur it. If there is no number 13 'round no matter what happens we never think uv chargin' it ter bad luck" "I never could see," said the editor, "why the number 13 should be charged up as being an unlucky number, for everything in the history of our country goes to show it to be connected with good luck every time; for example, this nation started with 13 states and—" "It had ter tiger an eight-year warter ter it," interrupted Uncle Bill. "So yer see there's a chance fur the superstition ter git on. Cause fur every victory the United States has ever had with 13 connected with it some one has had ter lose an' there's the chance fur them ter hollar bad luck on account uv 13." "I see that you are inclined to be a little superstition," said the editor, as he picked up a little book which was lying upon his desk and had for a title "The Unlucky Thirteen." "I've heen tell an' read so much 'bout it lately that I've been investigat'n it' an' I'm free ter confess that when a feller is lookin' fur bad luck an' the number 13 is hangin' 'round it's a mighty good thing ter lay it to. Now take fur example there's Seth Wiggers, when he subscribed fur his telephone number the number must be 13 an' he got it. Then he said, he said, was because "Old Gloyd" had 13 stripes an' our coin has 13 stars encreling the head uv liberty an' 13 arrows grasped in one foot uv the eagle an' a branch uv 13 leaves in the other, a motto uv 13 letters in in its beak an a hull lot uv other stuff what he'd been read'n' out uv a book, till he finally got ter think'n that 13 was a good luck omen," said Uncle Bill, as he warmed up to the subject. He certainly had a good example to follow "today" their coin stand pretty high in this world," remarked the editor in a manner which carried conviction with it. "Oh. I hain't sayin' nothin' agin the example, that's all right, but I'm talkin' 'bout Seth now. He got his number 13 telephone, as I said before, an' the day he put it in his best horse died; uv course the horse would uv died enway; an' then when he got his new barn all raised the wind blew it over, while the gang what raised it was eatin' the next day while he was rivin' for the horse to lumber, his colts run away with him an' broke his buggy all ter smash, an' so it kept on till finally it struck his poultry an' I'll be gosh swishellled if he could set a hen on 13 eggs but what she'd leave her nest. An' finally the lightnin' struck his telephone an' come durn near burning' his house down, an' then the Widder Baxter come over an' offered sympathy an' Seth's wife got jealous an come near leavin' uv 'im. Then Cyn Dawet said Seth, mebby that 13 that was 'v' that phone is what's raisin' hob with yer. So Seth pithed it out doors onto the wood pile where at last it was a blessin' ter him."

I think, take it all in all, that number 13 should be passed up ter Carnegie; he started when he was 13 years old an' now he's in hard luck; he's got so much money that he can't give it away as fast as it accumulates. An' Rockefeller made a pile uv hls money on the 13th uv each month an' look at him. He haint got 13 hairs on his whole body.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

A friend asked the judge if it were not rash to make a positive statement regarding a specific date for any occurrence, arguing that nothing is certain. In reply the Judge told of a Celtic cook who asked her mistress one Monday for leave of absence the following Sunday to attend her brother's funeral. "Why," exclaimed the mistress, "this is only Monday! Surely, nobody's going to keep a dead body a whole week!" "He's not dead yet, mum," explained the cook. "No? Well he may die today or he may live a month. No doctor can safely say that a person will die at such a time that a day may be set for the funeral."

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buffalo, N. Y., says: "I am pleased to speak a good word for your Castoria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family." Castoria is a popular remedy for children's troubles, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. I. McCann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside with that I am aware that Castoria is a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home. Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorses it and believe it a great help." Ever prescribed. Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medicines of this character are obnoxious and therefore difficult of administration. As a laxative, I consider Castoria to be the best ever prescribed." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be through a simple remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has misused a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." CENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Hitchur. The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years. THE GENTAUR COMPANY, 77 MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY. Her Own Theory. A woman's impulse on being confronted with a mass of intricate machinery seems to be not to listen to any well meant explanation, but to offer a theory of her own. "Oh, I see," she explains. "When you press this little button here it makes that hook catch that little round thing, and that jumps up and hits that flat place, and that makes it work. That's it, isn't it? It isn't wonderful! It's so ingenious, and so simple, too." "Well, of course," says the patient guide, "that's the theory of the machine. You see that when the carriage is released from the teeth of the rack this lock pawl is depressed"—and so forth, to a black-eyed audience, until the conclusion. Then, "Why, yes, that is just what I said, isn't it" is the conventional response. But there was one woman deprived of this satisfaction. She had climbed laboriously over one of the White Squadron, stationed in the harbor, and had listened with silent deference to discourses upon guns and engines. Finally she thought that a question on her part would imply an "intelligent interest." "Is that a clock or a bell?" she asked of a person who looked as if he belonged to the crew of the Pinafore, as she pointed to an affair "screwed on to a rail" (as she described it afterward), and looking more like a monster sleigh bell than anything else." "Compass, ma'am," was the impassive response. Liquid Love. Adjustant General Corbin and Mrs. Corbin have just returned from a tour of Yellowstone park. While in the park, General Corbin met a local character named "Larry," who is a warm, personal friend of Senator Hanna and about whom Mr. Hanna has said many kind things. "Senator Hanna sent you his love," said General Corbin, after telling Larry the nice things the senator had said. "What was it it he sent?" asked Larry. "He love," replied General Corbin. "Did he send it in a bottle or a cask?" asked Larry. The general was not able to be specific, but he wrote to Senator Hanna, and it is expected the Ohio senator's love will go to Yellowstone park in a short while in either a bottle or a cask.—New York Herald.

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 1, 1902. I would be more than glad to have the story of my sickness told in print if it would help some other sufferer to be relieved. In October, 1900, I had a stroke of paralysis, which came upon me without a moment's warning, and left me completely paralyzed. I could not move a muscle of my left side. I laid for months in this helpless condition, had several physicians agreed that I was in a hospital for nothing for me, and was sent home as a hopeless case. When I had abandoned all hope of recovery, and was awaiting another stroke to complete the work of affliction, I was persuaded to try Mr. Wyckoff's treatment (Mr. Willard F. Wyckoff, 333 Southwest Boulevard, Rosedale, Kansas), as a last resort. I can truthfully say I had no idea he could do anything for me, for I was so absolutely helpless. After a few treatments I was amazed to find that I could walk, and I gradually recovered the use of my entire body. The dreadful constipation from which I had suffered for years was also cured, certainly, and when I never expected to be able to move, I how do my housework with ease and walk any distance. I would be thankful enough to Mr. Wyckoff nor say enough in his praise, for he certainly saved my life when all others failed. All this was done without medicine. I hope that these words may reach others, who are afflicted, and if they will call on me at 3107 Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, Mo., I will gladly give them full particulars. MRS. C. H. BIEGER.

HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and dur. ing his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them bestde her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. “I can tell you who he is,” sald a neighbor one day. “He 1s Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russta.” Utterly amazed, the woman asked: “In heaven's name, how should I ad- aress him?” “Oh, call him ‘Your Excellency,’ or "Your Royal Highness,” was the | an- swer, ‘The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she sid: “I'can recommend them te your royal highness, for I know your ‘excelloncy has never tasted better potatoes.” ‘The grand duke burst out laughing, and pald more for the potatoes than ho had ever paid before, but he was aunoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. ae ea One of the sea captains in the em- ploy of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee’s fondness for whittling with his jackknife, and on one trip. suc ceeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic senso, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved im appearance.
