THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Hiro-American News. For the Perusal of Busy People. The first colored man is now employed in the United States Armory at Springfield, Mass. A co-operative company is doing a narrative real estate business in Terryvale, New York. Sixy thousands of the million and a half inhabitants of Liberia are civilized degrees who have emigrated from the United States. C. H. Harper, a colored jeweler, of Holy Springs, Mass. is an expert watch maker. He carries a stock of goods equal to that of any Caucasian contemporary in that place. Senator Camm Patterson, has introduced in the Virginia legislature a bill providing that the levies for the public school purposes collected from whites shall be used for whites and the levies collected from the Afro-American population to the Afro American school. It's up to every Negro. The most sacred thing a Negro has is his ballot. We sincerely hope that each every Negro in Wyandotte county and the whole state will stand up like men and resent the wrongs heaped upon them. The ballot box is all that left. Don't be blind or like sheep. A New Organization. The Young Mens Christian Union is now chartered organization of young clered men in our city. It is the first charter we have known to be taken out young Negroes in this state for such ammendable efforts as is set forth-"To first anize, Elevate, Broaden the Insect and Diffuse Charity." The following young men are the officers: Pres. Jon Napper, Secy. E. A. Mobily and John L. Davis Treas. There is a membership of about 25. They intend to treat a home where the "young man with a laudable aim in life can findours of recreation and intellectual proft. We oid them God' speed, for something is needed to be done in order to produce something else beside-"Dudes, wrap kings and boozers. A Noted Kansasan Dead The death of Miss Susan B. Anthony apast week in Rochester, N.Y., receives a rather celebrated character that known and loved not only by all Kans- but the entire country. A life devote- to her sex, 86 years and active almost in the last. No abler and more devoted educate of woman's rights ever lived. She will long live in the memory of all Kansas. Her life's work is ended and sina is gone to recieve the reward promis- ed to the faithful. Funeral ceremonies were held Thursday afternoon at the Central Presbyterian church at Roche- ster attended by many hundreds of ad- daining friends. Enough Said A little nonsense now and then is appreciated by the most of men. A woman will compliment her best friend's taste in the selection of a bonnet buying one just as different as possible. Samson was the first man to discover that it doesn't always do to tell the truth to a woman, but he wasn't the last one. It isn't woman's right that some women are constantly clamoring for; it's all the rights. Photographers are the only persons who take women at their face value. Some girls wash their hair very regularly but overlook their necks and ears. Every woman likes to be just a few years younger than the other women her age. It is easy enough to look pleasant while life flows along as a song, but the woman worth while is the one who can smile when she takes her husband along. It isn't always safe for a girl to assume that she is going to have plenty of money to spend after marrying just because her beard is liberal with it while he is couriring her. Hereafter Nicholas Longworth will be known as Alice Roosevelt's husband. Mouse Made Nest of Currency. John Shanley of Milford, Conn., put a $5 bill in a pocket of one of his costs, to find that some small mouse had a nest in the pocket and had chewed up $5 of his hard-earned money to make a nice soft bed for it self.

Last reports all were well. Word has been recieved of the death of Mr. Joseph Jacques one of the richest Negroes of New Orleans, death occured the past week. He is related to Misses Gertrude and Mabel Jacques of our ci.y. We were incorrectly informed [regarding the death of Mrs. Susie Bryant in our last issue.

Mr. Joseph Williams an old pioneer citizen, well and favorably known her is quite ill at his home—Six Mile House west of the city. He is the father of Joe Williams of No. 5. Fire station.

Do you belong to the Squaw Club? wonder what's in a name. How patiently we are waiting for the merry wedding bells. It was in the Sea foam block—last Saturday night week as well as on lower state. Wonder why the fascinating Mr. T.C. is seldom seen on N. 3rd St. There is a certain portion of 3rd st.one seldom ever sees a certain (Guy.) Will the Negro voters of Wyandotte county forget the injustice done them you are less than men if you forget the wrongs so soon. He was awfully sorry that he was not at home. Allow me to introduce to you Mrs.—Ah! Did you say Miss or Mrs. She's a dressmaker but she has no pocket in her cloak. Wonder what Bill it was that called to see her last week. I met Mr. F. B. on Main St., he wanted to know where you were. Oh! my I wouldn't have had T.to met him for anything. Wonder who he was that ripped her cloak. Card of Thanks.

He is an untiring worker exceptional qualifications and will make a congressman all Kansas as well as the 2nd district will be proud. A Place For The Colored Girl. What shall become of the colored girl? This question should arouse the minds of all men and women, those who have daughters and those who have not. The girls who are trying to be noble women should ask themselves this question daily, for we belong to a race which is considered inferior to the opposite race, we belong to a race that is looked upon with scorn and hatred because of its color, and we belong to a race, that will not respect and honor their women as they should. We believe that there would be more virtuous women among our sex today, if the colored men would respect them, if they would hold them as high in their estimation, as the white men do their girls. We believe that the Negro race would be purer if the colored men would protect their women. There are some noble and beautiful characters among our sex, although there is a line drawn between the colored girls and the white girls, while the white man looks those who have it in their power, to humiliate liar. How can she win the respect? Is the question we all should thick of As a general thing we are held too cheaply, too many colored men entertain very carelessly, not contemptible, opinion of the colored girl. They should hold the girl of character and intelligence as a very precious asset in social life, and act accordingly. We have too many colored men who hold the degrading opinion of ignorant white men, that all colored girls are alike. They loose sight of the fact that colored girls like other girls are apt to be just as pure, noble and sweet as the best of our men shall insist upon their being. The colored girl of character and accomplishments is abroad in the land. She wants and deserves many things, but the greatest of all her needs is the respect and confidence of her race. What our girls and women have a right to demand from our best men is that they cease to imitate the artificial standard of other people and create a race standard of their own. What we need to-day is encouragement to do whatever our hands find to do, and to be protected and honored for it. If the girl of character and intelligence must cook, let her be respected and honored, as the girl who sits at the piano. The way to exalt the colored girl is to place a higher standard on character, than upon the qualities of her occupation. A fine girl is the supreme thing. Let her be loved, admired, encouraged, and above all things let her be protected against the scorn and contempt of men, black, as well as white. Winnie E. Stroud, Kittrell College Publication Notice.

The Negro and Farming. Many brilliant, learned and sensible articles have been written by the Negro press and friends of the Negro race concerning the Negro and the farm. Many speeches have dwelt on this phase of the American Negro—and still there is as much necessity of a continuation of such articles and speeches as ever before. It is becoming every day more evident that sooner or later the Negro must leave the city, if not of his own accord then of force of necessity. The casual observer of the colored man in American cities today cannot help but see the utter impracticability of the Negro ever becoming a wielding factor in city life—the many drawbacks and besetments incident to the life of a colored man in the city, and the many hindrances to his success makes it more evident that at no distant date the colored man must turn away from the city if he lives. Labor-saving devices, social condition and increased race prejudice in the city toward the colored man are pointing plainly to the fact that if the colored man is to remain and become a formidable factor in America he must find his station behind the plow—as the tiller of the soil. The increasing death rate of the colored man who lives in the city and the increase of disease among them, show most conclusively that city life is not the life for the masses of the colored race. It is then with proper alarm that the Negro presses all over the country views the tendency of the race to give up the farm for city life, and it is meate that the same press should use every means within their command to turn the minds of their people back to the priceless gem—the farm. No race of people can ever hope to be a power among men when, as a race, they are consumers to a greater extent than they are producers. The Negro must not shun the f (v.) but rather the city. The close, compact conditions prevailing in a city are not conducive to the best physical make up of the black race, and the result is that he is easily an heir to disease and soon a victim of death. Let the Negro wend his way back to the form, where Nature and Nature's God has so amply prepared a healthful habitation for him.-W. N. M, in Wichita Searchlight. Thoughts to Remember. Patience is not paralysis. Works are the best words. Piety is more than phrases. Preaching down never lifts up. Knowing is only tributary to living. Prejudice puts the heart in prison. Self-sacrifice is but wise investment. Saints are more than sapless sinners. Heroic hearts come from hard piaces. Faith is turning the face toward God. He who makes friends makes fortune. The best biographies are ihose on two feet. Little courtesies are the wayside flowers of life. There's more religion in a whistle than in a whine. Virtue becomes a vice as soon as you are vain of it. Education is more than a preparation for life; it is a life. The torch of truth warns him when the wirds of opposition die. One man's salvation can never depend on another man's shibboleth. Remember Him. Among the deserving men who will come before the county convention asking the suffrage of the Republican party voters on the 28th will be Dr. W. F. Waite for County Coroner. Dr. Waite is an old resident here, and one of the old wheel horses who has helped the cause along for years. He is an old soldier and we must say deserving in the highest sense. He is now seeking his first office at the hands of the people. Let us all help him he has helped others. Publication Notice. In the District Court of Wyandotte county Kansas. Charles W. Jones.

MADE IT A DIFFERENT CASE. Nuisance Turned Out Largely a Mat- tee of Gwearehin. ; Mrs. Russell Sage is one of the most active workers in the movement to abolish the docking of the tails ot horses. In a discussion of this movement she said recently: “If the horses already docked were out of the way we should have no trouble in putting a stop to docking forever. But many persons, advocates of our movement in the past, no soon. er buy a pair of “showy carriage horses with docked tails than they desert us and-go over to the enemy.” She smiled sadly. “It is the old story.” she said. “White owned a dog. Black, who lived next door, came to him and said: “Look here.

I think you must be mistaken.’ “A week passed and Black came home one day with the objectionable dog on a string. . “‘T have bought this cur,’ he told his wife. ‘I have bought it from ‘White and I am going to chloroform it? “Another week and White, the dog's former owner, said to Black: “You haven't chloroformed that dog yet, have you?” “Why, no not yet, ‘Black answered. “The fact is we have grown rather fond of the critter, he is so playful and affectionate.’ “But doesn't his barking annoy you?’ White asked. “No, I haven't noticed it, said Black, “ ‘Well,’ White grumbled, ‘I ean’t sleep for that brute's continual yowl- ing,” Mrs. Sage smiled again. “In the case of ourselves it is one thing; in the ease of others it is a dif- ferent matter,” she said. Love for the Old Home. Mankind is nomadic, and while the sweetest poetry in the language is in. spired by the old home, the monu mental work in the world has beén ac complished in the main by those who left the parental roof to pursue else. where the quest for fortune, fame and high success. Nevertheless, the love for the old home abides. The re- union of those who remain and those who have departed is an occasion that will stir the pulse of any com. munity in which such a soulful event takes place. The pretty announce. ment was made by a newspaper in a little New England town which was about to celebrate its old home week that “the Jones boys have arrived and Charles will preach in the Pres- byterian church on Sunday.” A little waif of news like that revives old times and pays for all the prepara- sion of “old home week.’—Pailader phia Ledger. Surslussac. Owen Wister, the novelist, was crit- icising the work of a literary begin- ner, “Now, here,” said Mr. Wister, slash- ing his blue pencil through an entire manuscript page, “here is arrant su- perfluity and surplusage, In what way Go these 400 words help your story? “In no way. On the contrary, they hinder, they impede it. These written words are mere surplusage, as so many of our spoken words are mere surplusage. They resemble the use- less questions that we ask. “A man stood before a mirror in his Toom, his face lathered, and an open razor in his hand. “His wife came in. She looked at him and said: | ““*Are you shaving?” “The man, a foe to surplusage, re- plied fiercely: “‘No; I am blacking the kitchen range. Where are you—out driving or at a matinee?’” Look for Action from Senator. According to general belief Mr. Knox of Pennsylvania does not mean to be a silent member of the United States senate at the coming session. As a rule newcomers are rather ex- pected to keep in the background for a time, but Senator Knox is tacitly booked to take a leading part in dis- cussion of the railroad rate measure. For many years Pennsylvania sena- ‘ors have almost confined themselves to committee activity, The camer- ons, father and son, were silent men, and so to a great extent was Mr Quay. Mr. Penrose, too, rarely opens his lips, so the spectacle of a Penn- ‘sylvania senator active in debate will be somewhat of a novelty.

Senator Foraker was contradicting a certain statement. “Though this is a firm contradic: tion,” he said, “I want it to be a pleas. ant and polite one. It is not neces sary, when men tell falsehoods, to call them lars and club them over the head. Their error can be pointed out in neater and more graceful ways. “For instance: “In a small town in Indiana a group of drummers were assembled. They sat in the reading-room of the coun. try hotel. On the flimsy hotel paper they had finished writing to their ‘firms with the lumpy ink and the rusted pens which the hotel manage. ment provided, and now, with news. paper reading and desultory talk, they whiled away the tedious evening. “A young drummer in a red tie took the cigarette from his mouth and said: “Well, my day’s sales here reached 35,000. Not bad for a small town, eh? “An elderly drummer looked up from his newspaper and said quietly: “‘Not bad at all. It is wonderful what one can sometimes do in these little places. On my last trip here my commissions came to just what you say your sales did’ “The young man reddened. “This isn’t a lying competition,’ he sald gruffly. ““Oh, excuse me,’ said the other. ‘I thought it was.’ ” Story of a Medford Warrior. Capt. James C. D. Clark of the Lawrence Light Guards of Medford Mass., was a speaker at a recent camp fire of civil and Spanish war veterans, and related the following story: A Medford man, a quaint character of Irish birth, returned from the civil war wit an undisputed record of hard and meritorious service in the army. The younger generation, hearing of Bis bravery, tried unsuccessfully to get his own version of his part in the bloody struggle. One day, finding himself besieged by a number of persistent questioners, the modest warrior consented to speak. “We'd get up in the mornin’ at 5 o'clock,” he began, “an’ have break- fast. Begin fightin’ at 6, knock off at 12, Begin shootin’ agin at 1, knock off at 6 an’ ate supper, an’ turn in to sleep. Every day the same old thing; that's all.” A Station Without Sianale. There is no chance of a signalraan making a mistake at Wanstrow Sta- tion—the smallest on the Great West- ern railway—for the simple reason that there are no signals, and, conse- quently, no signalman, The station is situated on the Wells branch of Som- ersetshire, between Witham and Cran- more, a structure consisting of a plat- form about 24 yards long and a small waiting room.

MEN HAVE HORROR OF DIMPLES, _aeauty -Spote.” Female scoffers who deny that men have been blessed by nature with so seductive a charm as a dimple will change their tune when they hear what the beauty doctor has to say on the subject. “Dimples are just as common among men as among women,” says that apostle of the good advantage. Beard and mustache combine to hide their charm. Anyhow, men are not proud of dimples. They consider them a sign of. effeminacy, Now that smooth faces are the fashion, the man with a dimple in cheek or chin is hard put to it to hide that beauty mark. In his extremity he seeks relief from me. “What can I do with these devilish dimples?" says he. ““Take ‘em out, I advise. “‘Can you do it? he asks. “ ‘Sure, says I. “ “All right,’ says he; go ahead.’ “Then I begin treatment, In the past year I have removed sets of dim- ples from men’s faces that any woman ot their acquaintance would! have paid $100 for.

The surplus of the company last year, after the payment of the regular 5 per cent dividend, amounted to $1,092,000. This brought the total surplus up to $15,974,209.

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN; PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BIG. Record of Financial Institutions for the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable Prosperity All Over the Dominion. Ottawa, Canada, March 1.—The year which has just closed has been one of the most satisfactory and progressive with the financial institutions of Canada, and the business of the chartered banks reflects the unprecedented prosperity enjoyed throughout the country during the year 1905. The increased demands made upon the banks of the Dominion by the commercial and agricultural expansion of the year were provided for without the monetary disturbances sometimes noted in the United States. Whatever opinions may be held as to the composition of the Canadian banking system, it is claimed that its flexible currency has many commendable features, and without which the last few months of the year must have produced a money stringency with probably disastrous results. It is felt that a wider field of credit in the Dominion is needed, and consequently the capital of many existing banking institutions has been increased and several new banks are in progress of organization. The chartered banks of Canada today enjoy the confidence of the general public to a greater extent than ever before. The total deposits of the people in these institutions last year were $522,317,000, which shows an increase of over $56,000,000 for the year. In actual money in bank probably no other country in the world, comparatively speaking, can make a better showing than Canada. The total deposits of the Canadian people in the Government savings banks, in special savings institutions, and in the chartered banks alone amounted last year to the enormous sum of $609,454,000. This represents an average credit balance of over $100 per head of the population of the Dominion, and it is stated that the only other country in the world that approaches this record is Denmark, where the average credit balance is about $66.50 per capita. The above figures, however, do not comprehend moneys deposited with private bankers, loan companies, mortgage corporations and trust companies, or what is hoarded up in secret hiding places. The annual report of the Dominion finance department, which has just been issued to the public, shows a surplus in the Dominion treasury for the fiscal year of $7,865,000, and refers to the remarkable increase in the public revenues during the year.

Habit-forming Medicines Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines containing injurious ingredients as broadly published in some journals of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly been of great interest in auring needed attention to this subject. It has, in a sense, been the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines as may be fairly suspected of containing the injurious ingredients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., "took time by the forelock," as all the ingredients of which is popular medicinal compound. Thus he has completely forestallled all harassment all opposition that might otherwise be urged against his medicines, because they are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Furthermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious vegetables, the ingredients being purely vegetable, extra-organic roots of medicinal plants found growing in the depths of our American forests and of well recognized curative virtues. Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly objectionable from its tendency to produce a craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce employs chemically pure, triple-trihedron tablets, a remedy in many cases of chronic disease, being a superior demulcant, antiseptic, antifertament and supporting nutritive.

The mayor had dismissed the schoolmaster but the later barricaded himself in his school, so as not to be expelled pending an appeal to the prefect of the department. The town then beheld the extraordinary sight of the children standing in the street outside, and being taught through the window by the schoolmaster. The teacher triumphed, for the mayor finally yielded. Letter From Gold Coast An English firm received this letter from one on the Gold coast: "Dear Sir;-I am with much affectionate to write you this letter to say that I have seen your name in magazine, so try best and send me your catalogue and so therefore you must hope me, and send me the catalogue, when you receive this letter send me as quickly, don't forget me, and I also too, I have nothing to say again, I with the compliment to yours. I am yours faithfully, etc." Blood-Soaked Religionists Mohammedans of the Caucasus have a religious ceremony called "Chuckseck Wucksee." It is a ceremony in which the fanatics cut and wound themselves in the following ghastly fashion, according to a traveller: "Each man, grasping a kinjal in his hand, brought it up in front and down on the crown of his head. Almost at every stroke the blood gushed forth and soon one man after another became a staggering, blood-soaked figure." There is but little Christianity in a man starving his own family in order to send money away to the heathen. THE EDITOR. Explains How to Keep Up Mental and Physical Vigor. A New Jersey editor writes: "A long indulgence in improper food brought on a condition of nervous dyspepsia, nearly three years ago, so severe that I had to quit work entirely. I put myself on a strict regimen of Grape-Nuts food, with plenty of outdoor exercise and in a few months found my stomach so far restored that the process of digestion gave me pleasure instead of distress. "It also built up my strength so that I was able to resume my business, which is onerous, as I not only edit my paper but also do a great deal of 'outside' writing." "I find that the Grape-Nuts diet enables me to write with greater vigor than ever before, and without the feeling of brain fag with which I used to be troubled. As to bodily vigor—I can and do walk miles every day without fatigue—a few squares used to weary me before I began to live on Grape-Nuts!" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. There a reason.

Citizens of Emporia are endeavoring to establish a street car system for that town. The consolidation of the rural schools in McPherson county is said to be most satisfactory. Ed Howe, editor of the Atchison Daily Globe, has just completed a tour around the world. Tyro has closed a contract for natural gas for the city at the record low price of 2 cents per 1,000. The Missouri Pacific railway is running excursions to Caney on account of the burning gas well. A smallpox scare in St. Paul is based on the presence of one case, so the accent is on the "small." Many people think that the burning of the Caney gas well will ruin the whole gas field in that section. Eastern capitalists are talking of establishing interurban electric lines in various places throughout Kansas. The Chicago White Sox will spend the next two weeks in Wichita preparatory to the opening of the season. A Wichita man gave speech to this: "A town can be kept young by its young men, or kept old by its older men." Returns from the Lyon county primary indicate that the Emporia town row has spread to the outlying townships. A fund is being stated in Iola to be given as a prize for the most beautiful lawn shown in that city July 1. Ed Cunningham, a section boss at Horton, is reputed to be worth $60.000. His salary for years has been $1.35 per day. Manhattan is the place where a young man removed an electric light globe and took it to bed to keep his feet warm. Although the Hiawatha World lost the county printing it has cheered up considerably since a brass band was named in its honor. Much interest was manifested as the new Strang gasoline motor car for interurban railways passed through Kansas. The Topeka Capital has a theory that the Society islands are so-called because tuhe natives wear their clothes cut so low. Kansas undertakers have formed a trust and now require people to pay cash or give approved security before they will bury their dead. An 18-foot fly wheel, weighing over 30 tons, burst in Neodesha several days ago and wrecked the plant of the cement company at that place. A Washington county farmer's barn was destroyed by fire last week and among the losses enumerated were a dozen chickens and an automobile. Money may become a factor in the spring municipal campaign in Wichita. The Socialists have nominated Charles Coins for councilman. A Concordia girl was given a hose shower and had to "try on" every gift in the presence of her guests. How shocking! But only the girls were present. E. W. Howe arrived in Atchison Sunday, although his correspondence indicates that he has just arrived in Rome from the Holy Land. He left October 25 and is now almost persuaded that the earth is round.

The wind blew so hard in McPherson county one day last week that the Lindsborg Record declares wire fences were knocked down and some corn husks were blown through a brick wall. A man east of town tried to dig some post holes and the dust blew in faster than he could dig out the dirt, and when he quit there was a pile of dust two feet high where the holes had been. A clothes line with a week's washing all marked "Perry, Ok." was picked off from a telephone pole south of the river bridge, and it is said that a fish was blown out of the river southwest of town. A parable by Thomas Benton Murdock of Eldorado: "Once upon a time a man came up to a band of horse thieves and after a time the horse thieves told him all about the horses they had stolen and what was done with them. Later on this man went into court and told what he knew about the gang of horse thieves, whereupon the captain of the horse thief gang appeared in court and, while he admitted that they were a band of horse thieves, insisted that the government could not convict them, as the evidence against them was obtained contrary to the rulings of the 'techinal courts,' whereupon the judge turned the horse thieves loose to go out and steal some more horses. And this is about the way the court is handling the Chicago Beef trust case." A little girl in Washington informed her playmates that she knew who were the "three best men that ever lived." She said they were Santa Claus, God and George Washington. Daniel McGowan, Lyon county, fish and game warden, has received 20,000 bass and crappie minnows from the state fishery at Pratt. The minnows were put in the Neosho river at Emporia. E. W. Howe made the trip from Jerusalem to Jericho recently and Fred Trigg rejoices that he did not "fall among thieves." Tourists agree there are not many Good Samaritans left in the Holy Land. SHOULD A HORSE BE CLIPPED? CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING RECOMMENDED BY LEADING VETERINARIANS. All Thinking Men Readily Recognize Its Advantages. "A horse is a valuable asset, and should receive the best care possible. He should be well fed, comfortably stabled, carefully groomed and clipped in the early spring. If he receives these attentions he will work well and improve in value. A horse lives under artificial conditions. In his wild state he required none of these attentions, for he was able to look out for himself. The domesticated animal, being worked under conditions that are in themselves artificial, must be kept in condition for such work. The clipping of a horse in the early spring is now conceded by all the leading veterinarians to be as essential to a horse's well being as shoeing him or giving him a comfortable bed to lie on. Farmers in England and France have been clipping their horses for many years, and American farmers are not slow to realize its advantages. A clipped horse dries out rapidly after a hard day's work, and will rest comfortably and be refreshed for the work the following day. An unclipped horse is liable to catch the heaves, pneumonia and all sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc. More especially is this so in the early spring, when his hair is long and he is "soft." If worked hard he will perspire freely and the moisture will be held by his long hair, and the food that should go to nourish him will be used to replenish the heat that is being constantly taken from his body by the mass of cold wet hair. If clipped, the perspiration will evaporate almost as soon as secreted, and when put in the stable he rests comfortably and his food does him good Some years ago a Buffalo street car company tested the value of clipping in the following manner: They owned 500 horses, and 250 of these were clipped early in the spring and 250 were not clipped. A careful record was kept of results, and it was found that of the 250 unclipped horses 153 were afflicted with coughs and pneumonia, while of the 250 clipped not one case of slickness was reported. A man would not expect to enjoy very good health if he did hard manual work clothed with heavy underwear, a heavy suit and a fur overcoat, and after perspiring freely, as he naturally would, go to sleep without removing same. It is just as ridiculous to expect a horse to be in perfect health if worked under the same conditions. If you would get the best returns from your investment in your horse, treat him right, and be sure and clip him in the early spring A first-class horse-clipping machine can be bought at almost any hardware store for less than $7.00—Horse Review, Dec. 5th, 1905. Youngest Governor. Herbert J. Hagerman, a native of Milwaukee, just inaugurated governor of New Mexico, was born in 1871 and is the youngest governor in the country. Being unmarried and wealthy, besides having a pleasing personality, he is looked upon with much favor by society in the territory. He has already received a number of rather mushy letters from young women. Fools lay plans and the wise guy gets busy and hatches them out. BABY'S TORTURING HUMOR. Ears Looked as if They Would Drop Off—Face Mass of Sores—Cured by Cuticura in Two Weeks for 75c. "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born babe's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steese, 701 Colburn St., Akron, Ohio."

WHO SHE WA And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Store This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert restore the family fortune. argued that the medicine which so good for their woman friend neighbors was equally good for women of the whole world. Yours for Health Lydia E. Pinkham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies—calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so boundfully provides in the harvest-fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to ANTI-GRIPIN IS GUARANTEED TO CURE GRIP, BAD COLD, HEADACH AND NEURALS I won't sell Anti-Gripple to a dealer who won't Gurara W.
