A Former Des Moines man is doing well in South Dakota. Below we publish a clipping from one of Pierre, S. D. Newspapers about Wm. Smith recently of our city, but who left here last summer for South Dakota to go into the farming business. We wish him success, and only wish more of our people would do likewise. Mr. Smith a colored farmer a few miles from town is doing more and preparing to do more to develop the country than the average white man. He has been putting up some substantial buildings and will break 300 acres of sod next year. He will make a deal with a Sally county party who has a steam plow. This is what we want in this section, and then a grain buyer in Pierre who will buy grain and pay cash for it. Pierre business men should awake to the need of a market for farmers. This city should go ahead on the bases of aiding and building up mixed farming. We have enough land agents, and then again with more farmers we can have more land men as city property will grow then. GLOORED CAPITAL COMING NORTHWEST. A. G. Williams of Atlanta, Ga. is in our city enroute home from a trip through Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa, prospecting for the purchase of several thousand and acres of farm land for an organization of wealthy Georgia farmers, whose aggregate wealth will reach nearly $1,000,000. There are more than 150 of these families who will buy up many acres of these fertile prairie land and will settle here, not in colonies, but miscellaneous throughout these states. These farmers represent the very best class of the Southern colored men, and we are glad of their moving up here. Dr. E. A. LEE DENTIST. Inth and Park Sts. Seamless Gold Crowns.

Phillips, the presiding elder, was in the city last Sunday and conducted the quarterly meeting. Quite a large congregation greeted the services in the afternoon and the largest number of members of the church was present for the future of the church.

It inspires the members and congregation of the church to a better and congregation of the church to a better and hear our presiding elder we are more inclined to believe that he is the right man in the right place.

"It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, eh? in the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you could have sat, ch? Querie table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped your own from the general store, own a dish, own a one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swans, horns, porpoises, garlic, verjuice, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES. Keepere Had Special Cartridges For Poor Markeman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor markman: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried aphasant shooting. The man limped away currying horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another and hurriedly he hurried. He hurried the nearest keeper and demanded more. "There ain't no more, sir," the man answered. "No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box." The keeper flushed and stammered: "Ah, but them ain't for you, sir. They're for another giant. They've got shot in 'em, sir." A Strong Appeal. Almost modern is the Persian story of the man whose disagreeable voice in reciting his prayers in the mosque was annoying to everyone. One day some one asked him how much he was a d for reciting. "Paid!" he replied. "I was a saint of Allah!" "Then," replied the other, "for Allah's saint don't!" His Discovery. Cholly—You remember I told you yesterday that Miss Perkins told me the night before that she would marry me. Jack—Yes, Cholly—Well, I happened to think this morning that she said that she would marry me on the thirty-first of September, so I looked up the calendar to see what we would be, and, do you know, September has only 30 days. Iowa State Bystander New Outlook in Chemistry. New Outlook in Chemistry. As is well known, the logical process of inductive reasoning based upon carefully planned experiment is relatively a new manifestation of the power of the human intellect. The philosophers of old imagined, observed and reasoned, but neglected experimentation; the artisans, who alone came into close contact with realities, were unable except in the crudest fashion to generalize concerning their results. Because of this separation of thought and deed, man's knowledge of his environment remained for thousands of years in a wholly undeveloped state. From this dormant condition natural science emerged but slowly, although with steadily increasing pace. Little by little, in spite of occasional pauses of inactivity, or apparent forgetfulness, human acquaintance with the fundamental laws of the universe has grown. Each century has added something to the total, says the Harvard Graduates' Magazine; and usually each century has added more than any century before. What a contrast such a development presents to that of sculpture, for example, which reached nearly if not quite is highest point of perfection more than 2,000 years ago. In chemistry especially has the acceleration been great; and the effect of recent growth is so remarkable that, looking back, one is inclined to deny the existence of any real science in chemistry a century and a half ago. If the accumulation of chemical knowledge is depicted diagrammatically in relation to the progress of time, measuring one in the vertical and the other in a horizontal direction, an upward-pointing curve with steadily increasing inclination is obtained. The curve stops at the present day; but unless a catalysm annihilates the earth's population and its libraries, this line is bound to be continued. Whither will it lead? What further insight into his own constitution as well as that of his environment may man attain? The answer to these questions is fraught with weighty significance as regards the future of the human race. A Good Word from Panama. Leroy Park, European agent for the isthmian canal commission, replies to some allegations regarding Spanish laborers employed on the Panama work, and incidentally gives interesting information as to conditions generally in connection with the enterprise. He states from personal knowledge that the Spanish laborers are well cared for, and he cites an official report from the Spanish consul at Panama showing, as a result of the consul's investigation, that the quarters of the laborers are entirely sanitary, that the men are content and are sending for their families and that those who are going to the isthmus are taking their wives and children with them, in full confidence that they will be safe, happy and contented. Mr. Park states that there are now 43,000 laborers on the isthmus, and that more will come from Europe with the beginning of the dry season. It is evident that the big undertaking is being pushed as rapidly as is consistent with effectiveness. The immigration question has many sides, and while some objectionable persons may manage to obtain access to this country, it is evident that the great bulk of the new arrivals is composed of desirable elements. In fact, it is certain that, enormous as is the fux, aggregating nearly a million and a half yearly, it is not sufficient to meet all labor demands. The bureau at Washington having the matter in charge is informed that 250,000 immigrants can be placed at once in localities where workers are urgently needed, and that three states are seeking settlers and could readily accommodate at least 1,000,000. This is still the land of promise to the honest and industrious alien who desires to better his condition. Caran d'Ache, a French caricaturist has invented a toy which bids fair to be as popular in Europe as the Teddy bears are in America. It is a wooden dog painted in fantastic fashion. The dog—he is not always of the same breed—was intended as a plaything for children, but the Paris women have taken such a fancy to it that 40 men are working every day turning out the quaint animals, and the inventor is getting rich. One hundred and forty million dollars will have to be raised by taxation to pay the expenses of New York next year, according to the estimates made by the heads of the various departments of the city government. This is an increase of $40,000,000 in less than ten years. The statement that the winter will be a warm one does not bring much comfort to the average woman, as the price of furs is just as high as usual, and the furs are just as becoming. The man fond of nice distinctions will now have work for some time on his hands—or, to speak more properly, on his brains—trying to give the nation the proper line to be drawn in differentiating a milkshake, the newly defined species of the genus homo, from the class of mollycoddles. The American Bankers' association wants to have our bank notes printed in bright tints. In that case it will mean something when a man asks to see the color of your money yet.

Cortelyou Orders $3,000,000 Deposited in Minneapolis and St. Paul—Financial Conditions Improve. New York—Now that the monetary strain has been loosened locally, the New York banks began preparations Wednesday to ship all available currency to the northwest to aid the movement of crops. While there is concerted action among the city's banking institutions to meet the demands for currency now being made by banks in the crop country, the individual banks will send all funds that can possibly be shared for the purposes. Estimates of the combined amounts that the New York banks will send to the northwest within the next six weeks vary. The Chase National bank and the First National bank have commenced to ship daily sums ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 to banks along the route of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. James J. Hill held a conference here with officers of the Chase National and other institutions, at which it is stated he asked that the northwest be given all possible assistance to move the crops. Mr. Hill was informed that while the local banks could not furnish the financial assistance needed for doing purposes, they were anxious to do all they could to expedite the shipment of cereals to the seaboard, whence they could be sent abroad and thereby strengthen this country's position in the foreign money markets. It was learned here that the amount of the government deposits directed by Secretary Cortelyou to be placed in St. Paul and Minneapolis is $3,000,000, and that this sum will be for necessary Washington assistance. It was announced, is prepared to ship funds west should Secretary Cortelyou deem it expedient. The general conditions of the financial situation were favorable Wednesday. The runs on the trust companies had practically ceased under the encouraging influence of the support of the trust company common stock. The trust company increased, and the stock market rose buoyantly in recognition of these conditions. "UNION" DOCTORS INDICTED. Grand Jury at Waverly, Ia., Again Hits at the Physicians.

He and Wife, Weep When Audience Cheers Him. New York. — Raymond Hitchcock, who gave himself up to the authorities Wednesday, reassumed his role at the Actor theater Wednesday night and was given a demonstrative welcome. The actor looked haggard and ill, and his voice was uncertain as he spoke his lines. Meantime, his wife, who plays opposite him, was in tears and with difficulty followed her cue. At the end of the second act the comedian stepped to the front of the stage and in a tremulous voice said: "I want to thank you all for your apuise and encouragement. I hope I shall always deserve it." Upon Mrs. Hitchcock's second entrance the action called upon her to shake her husband's hand. As they stood there with hands clasped the cheers were wagging and for a moment both performers seemed unable to continue. Then Miss Zabelle placed her unengaged hand on her husband's shoulder and kissed him. At this Hitchcock broke down completely and there were a good many wet eyes in the audience, too.

Mix the following by shaking well in a bottle, and take in teaspoonful doses after meals and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Saparapilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless ingredients can be obtained at nominal cost from any druggist even in the smaller towns. The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Bladder weakness and Urinary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. Those who have tried this say it positively overcomes pain in the back, clears the urine of sediment and regulates urination, especially at night, curing even the worst forms of bladder weakness. Even the or woman here who feels the kidneys are not strong or acting in a healthy manner should mithis prescription at home and give a trial, as it is said to do wonders for many persons. The Scranton (Pa.) Times was first to print this remarkable prescription, in October, of 1906, since when all the leading newspapers of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other cities have made many announcements of it to their readers. Grieg as a Schoolboy. Grieg of a pattern schoolboy. In a description of his days at school he wrote: "Knowing that by arriving late I would not be allowed to enter the class until the end of the first lesson, I used, on wet mornings, to stand under a dripping roof, until I was soaked to the skin. The master then sent me home to change my clothes, but the distance being long this was equivalent to giving me a dispensation! You may guess that I played this prakrit often, when when last I carried a book, to come as one round, though, though it had hardly rained at all, they became suspicious and kept a lookout. One fine day I was caught, and made an intimate acquaintance with the bireh!" Liquor She Floated In: On their arrival in New Zealand, according to London Tit-lits, a party of English people drank the health of the vessel which had brought them safely to their destination. One of the gentlemen who was asked to join in this ceremony replied: "No. I am a teetotaler; but I will willingly drink success to the ship in the liquor she floats in." A friend disappeared and returned with a glass of water. A complimentary apology to the ship, the recipient tossed the water immediately apted: "Ugh—ah—oh this—is—oh—what on earth is this?" "That!" said his friend. "Why, you've drunk success to our noble ship in the identical liquor she floats in." Terms That Seem Strange. There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For instance, bankruptcy is in Scotland "an act of sequestration," a solicitor is either a "writer" or a "law agent," the argument in a case is the "debate," and assists is the jury, a wrongdoer is a "delinquent," an idiot in Scottish law-is "a fatuous person," and a burglary is (with true Scottish caution), "housebreaking with an aggravation." Finally, an au thor is, in Scotland, not a person who writes, but the vendor or seller of real property, from whom the title to it is derived. Mutilate Art Treasures Authorities who have in charge some of England's ancient treasures try to discourage the habit of carving initials on these relics. A fine of $11 was recently imposed on a man who had chipped his name in letters six inches high on one of the stones in the "Drulds' Circle" near Keswick.

Bacon curers are usually among the most prosperous firms in Belfast, but they have had to warn the farmers throughout the north not to kill any more pigs until the strikes are settled for it is impossible to handle the causes. Business has thus been diverted to other farmers through the majority of farmers, simply resisted their pigs and are making no attempt to supply the market. Danish bacon factories will thus profit—London Standard. But He Wasn't Hired. Senator Frank B. Brandegee tells a story of a man who wanted to be a trolley car conductor. "This man looked beaty, polite and intelligent, and the manager of the car barn seemed to think well of him. After a number of questions the manager said: 'Well, what pay do you desire?' The applicant gave a loud laugh. Then he dug the manager in the ribs and said: 'Oh, never mind about the pay, boss. Just give me the job and I'll have a car of my own in a week or two."—Kansas City Star.

BLOW TO WATERWAY ATTORNEY GENERAL STEAD'S OPINION HALTS PROJECT. POWER COMPANY LEASE VALID Des Plaines River Must Be Navigable in Fact-Up to Government Now. Springfield, Ill., Nov. 7. A heavy blow was dealt the deep waterway advoices yesterday afternoon in an opinion prepared by Attorney General Stead at the request of Governor Deenen. This opinion deals with the navigability of the Des Plaines river and state rights in the stream. Briefly Mr. Stead interprets the law on the subject as follows: "The navigability of the Des Plaines river is a question of fact and not of law. If the Des Plaines river is not navigable in fact, no action will lie by the state to remove or prevent it. If the Des Plaines river is in course of construction by the Economy Light and Power company of Joliet at Dresden Heights. The Economy company holds a valid lease to state property at the dams of the Des Plaines river, and may use this land for the construction of the dam even to the extent of flooding the same." Under this ruling prospect of a dam waterway go glimming unless the people vote an expenditure of $20,000,000 for the deep waterway. This is considered remote. According to Mr. Stead's opinion the only chance to acquire such a water power along the channel of the proposed船 canal is to buy outright at condemnation sale the riparian rights of abutting land owners. This would be so stupiduous a price that the plan would It is now up to the United States government to proceed with the deep waterway movement. No one in life has ever proposed bond issue when the principal sum probably would not pay the damages incurred. The Dresden deserts dam will not limit the physical construction of the deep waterway channel, provision having been made for a fourteen foot channel. This meets the requirements of the air department and the federal waterway development. HOARDED MILLIONS COME OUT. Four Per Cent Premium Rate Un Jocks Coffers New York, Nov. 8.—The magnet of high premium rate for currency is attracting the money hoarded by depositors in steel valuables and strong boxes and within the last two days the money hoarded by its hiding place and sold for a premium to money brokers. The placing of these large amounts of hoarded currency into circulation is performing an important part in lessening bank losses. Money brokers are confident that more currency will soon find its way into circulation if ame deposit valuits, the owners of which now being reassured as to the financial future are anxious to the advantage of large premium rates. The falling off of the premium rate for currency yesterday from 3.5 to 3 per cent was brought about by the large amount of gold and silver that was taken from safe deposits and for sale. Purchases of currency were for sale only for out of town account and brokers state that currency bought here is being dispatched to agricultural and industrial centers where it is most needed. The reappearance of gold formerly hidden is a sure sign of returning confidence. Brokers liken the present situation to 1833 when ad valorem taxes were the money was tightest, called forth a perfect flood from the vaults where it had lain hidden and brought about a state of financial equilibrium. Over a million dollars was drawn from depositors yesterday and sold to money brokers. Safe deposit companies report a steady stream of payments to withdrawn funds. A money broker relatied the following incident: "One firm was concluding the purchase of $100,000 in gold certificates today and after the rates had been agreed upon, the seller plunged his hand in his nocket and then asked if we would defer the sale until he could telephone his wife to bring his safe deposit key down town, as he had done before. While we never inquire from his solder, the currency has been taken from hidden places." FOR FREE PRINT PAPER President Indicates He WILL Urge It in His Message. Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.—President loosevelt yesterday indicated to members of the committee on paper of the American Newspaper Publishers' association that he will recommend to congress the abolition of the wood that goes in the manufacture of paper; also that he will make a recommendation to the department of justice that it take immediate steps to ascertain whether the antitrust laws are being disobeyed by the management of paper. The press secretary was obtained after he had listened to the committee and to a petition from the national organization of printers, stereotypers, pressmen and etchers, setting forth the evidence of a combination of paper manufacturers for the production the output, increasing the print rate, and thereby making hindersome regulations for supply and delivery of paper.

Mrs. Ellen Nagle, 414 4th street, Green Bay, Wis., written, and heard Peruna praised and it is more widely known here than any other medicine, but I never knew what a splendid medicine it really was. I was told he was bad cold which settled all over me. "The doctor wanted to prescribe, but I told him I was going to try Peruna and sent it for a bottle and tried it morning and within five days I had not a trace of any lameness or any cough. "I consider it the finest cough remedy." PERUNA TABLETS—Some people prefer to take tablets, rather than to take medicine in a fluid form. Such people can obtain Peruna tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredients of Mansfield's Rebuke. A group of theatrical men were talking in New York about the late Richard Mansfield. "Mr. Mansfield," said one, was a delightful humorist, a splendid raconteur in society, but at the same time he had a certain proper and becoming sense of his own dignity, and it never said to be unduly familiar with him. "He was, as we all know, rather bald. He resented, from barbers, or friends, all allusion to his baldness. "Well, one night at a party, a man came up behind this great artist, staggered him with a violent slap on the back, and exclaimed in a loud, jovial manner. "Hello, Dick. How are you? Every time I see you, you get balder and balder.' Mansfield drew himself up. He sneered at the other. "Hello, he said. 'I don't know who you are, but every time I see you you get ruder and ruder.'"

While Oil City cannot, perhaps, boast of being a strictly cold-water town, she can, we believe, lay claim to having among her residents the champion temperance man of the state, if not of the entire country. Not only has he never drank any kind of spiritous or malt liquors, but he has never allowed any tea, coffee, or any kind of milk to pass his life since he was a child. He is a colored man, was born in slavery, and because he was frequented by a more whisky than for him, he solved when a boy to never drink anything but water. And he has religiously kept the resolution. He is a member of the Oil City police force, and his name is Major Franklin.—Oil City (Fa). Blizzard. Signs of Long Life "Bacon took a deep interest in longevity and its earmarks," said a physician, "and Bacon's signs of long life and of short life are as true to day as they were ever." "You won't live long, Bacon pointed out, if you have soft, fine hair, a fine skin, quick growth, large head, early corpulence, short neck, small mouth, brittle and separated teeth and fat ears. "Your life, barring accidents, will be very lengthy if you have slow growth, coarse hair, a rough skin, deep wrinkles in the forehead, firm flesh, a large mouth, wide nostrils, strong teeth set close together, and a hard, gristly ear."-Minnapolis Journal. HER "BEST FRIEND." We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies for it stubs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug—caffeine—which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if its use is perished. "I had heart palpitation and nervousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not," writes Wis. lady. "On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee and it so satisfied me that I did not care for coffee after a few days' trial of Postum. "As weeks went by and I continued to Postum my weight increased from 68 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left. I have used it a year now, and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle upairs without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. "My children are very fond of Postum and it agrees with them.

The train was running at least fifty miles an hour at the time. When the train reached the depot, Wilkinson was back from back to where Wilkinson had fallen, barely reaching him in time to save him from mutilation from another train, grasping the body and pulling it from the track as a fast freight brushed by them. Wilkinson was terribly injured. He hit some obstruction which tore a great hole in his hea and side.

Charlton.—Receiver Bostwick and Bank Examiner Shaw, who have been busy on the bank's books since the latter part of last week, decided to visit the bank's condition. The belief is galing ground among the business men and citizens generally that the funds of the bank will be found to have been touched but lightly at all, still the bank has been found in perfect condition. The $550,000 belonging to the Woodmen of the World and report: to have been a deposit in the bank has been found to have been instead a personal deposit in the bank as a extreacher of the order. It is feared that this has gone the way of Crocker's personal estate, worth it was supposed, some $200,000. The Mallory estate is reported to be largely involved in the Woodman loan and there is considerable doubt as to whether the bank will ever reopen, even though it is found to be in perfect condition. In case it does reopen it will be only after a thorough rehabilitation in public confidence. DENY RESOLUTIONS. Davenport Ministers Issue A Statement.

While his death was not unexpected, owing to the critical phase which his last illness early assumed, the announcement came as a surprise and a sad shock to him. The indirect cause of Mr. Polk's death were injuries sustained by a fall near his home two years ago. While passing a wagon he stepped on a rope that was dragging behind him. His feet were cut out from under him and he was left to walk up to the pavement. At the time he suffered for some time. Since then he has never enjoyed the excellent health that he had known all his life. His extraordinary physical strength bore evidence of his last illness was of about two weeks duration.

After perfecting this property, he began to work out his long cherished ideas of interstate commerce and began the Railway Company was organized. In 1867 Polk aided F. M.

A Cure That Has Held Good for Four Years. Mrs. Mary Crumilm of 1130 West Thirth Street, Wilmington, Del. says: "Some years ago I began to feel weak and miserable and one day awoke from a nap with a pleuring pain in my back that made me scream. I two days I could move and after that I had backache and dizzy spells all the time. My ankles swelled and I ran down dreadfully. I was nervous and had awful headaches. I wonder that any medicine could do what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me. They cured me four years ago and I have been well ever since." Sold by all dealers, it costs a box. Surely Here Were Musical Tastes Enough to Suit Anybody. A gentleman of the most cultivated musical tastes, wishing to change his residence, advertised for rooms in a private family "fond of music." The next mall brought him the following reply: "Dear Sir: I think we could accommodate you with rooms, and as for music one of my daughters plays the parlor organ and gitar; another one plays the accordeon and band; I play the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays the harmonica and my son the fute. We all sing and if you are good at tenner singing you can be singing gospel husbands, for none of us sing tenners. Or if you plays the base vall we have one right here in the house. If you want music as well as rooms and board we could accommodate you and there would be no extra charge for it. Lippincott's." Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affect The skin is covered with thick, dry But Cucurbita Curem. Then, "My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cucurita Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cucurita Soap and Cucurita Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cucurita Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cucurita Soap and then apply Cucurita Ointment. It would dry the heat up so much quicker than anything else. Mr. H. B. Springmire, 323 So. Capital Street, Iowa City, Ia., July 16, 1905, and Sept. 16, 1906." Slight Misunderstanding. They had been engaged just seventeen minutes by the clock, yet for the last three-seventeenth of that period there had been a proud, scornful look upon her fair face that was calculated to wither the orange blossoms. "I can't imagine, dear," he said, sadly, "what has come over you so suddenly. I simply asked if you were romantic, when—" "Oh, George, forgive me!" she exclaimed, with a convulsive sob, as she threw her arms about his neck. "I thought you asked me if I was rheumatic." She Did Not Fear Death. An old lady on her 12th三年 third birthday once said, "I do not mind getting old, and I do not fear death, but I live in constant fear of paralysis." "For some time I have been wanting to tell you of the great good your wonderful Sloan's Lilinment is doing here," writes Mr. James F. Abernethy, of Rutherford College, N. C. "In fact, all your remedies are doing noble work, but your Lilinment beats all. In my eight years' experience with medicine I find none to go ahead of it, having tried it in very many cases. I know of one young man, a brick-mason, who suffered from a partial, yes, almost complete, paralysis of one arm. I got him to use your Lilinment, and now he can do as much work as ever, and he sings your praise every day. I get all to use it I possibly can and know there is great virtue in you. I have helped the sale of your nobile remedies about here greatly, and expect to cause many more to buy them, as I know they can't be beat." Most married men do as they please is their minds.

Picturesque People That Are Found in the Philippines. Among the wild tribes to be found in the Philippines are the Bogobos, the most picturesque people in the tropics. Their origin is unknown, and all sorts of opinions have been expressed concerning them. One tale tells that their first ancestors were all poets and musicians, and that the dialect for the practical which is always noticeable among them has come down through the generations. Those that have taught among the Bogobos say that given a song or a poem to learn and they will study and dream over it for hours, but give the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic and he immediately becomes ill and wants to go home. Living in Guatemala, in the Davao district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago university woman, who is collecting everything peculiar to the Bogobo.

Dr. Lew Arntz Almost Blind for 15 Years Can Now See Perfectly Bertha Larson, a much esteemed young lady of Button, Iowa, who was almost blind for fifteen years, can today see perfectly. The public will probably be interested in learning how almost total blindness can be overcome by human skill. The following is her letter to the public: Button, Ia., Nov. 2, 1906. MISS BERTHA LARSON, Who Was Almost Blind Fifteen Years. "I am now 20 years old, and not until about eight months the age was I take and ordinary print. When I was 5 years old I had the messies, which left my eyes almost blind. My parents tried in vain for fifteen years to get help for me, but never succeeded. I lived at my home by Lawrence of Dewey Mills, whom I consulted, and had to fit my eyes with glasses, which have brought out a low, perfect sight. I have now read fine print easily, and can also see at a distance the same as other people. My parents tried all kinds of remedies for me when I was a child, but at last gave up in despair, and, specially informed than when I was about 4 years old, that nothing could be done, as my eyes contained practically no sight. What is most regret is that I had no chance to get an education because I could not see to read. If Dr. Lew Arntz had been consulted ten years ago I might have attended school like other children. BERTHA LARSON." LINGERING COLD. Withstood Other Treatment But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last winter I caught a very severe cold which lingered for weeks," says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. My cough was very dry and harsh. The local coach recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, guaranteed he gave it. One small bolt of it cured me. I believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the best I have ever used." This remedy is for sale by all drugists. Thus the men continued to hurry; each department going faster and faster, until everything was now in a hand gallop. The horses panting, foaming and squirming under the stinging lash of the excited and nervous driver, were trying with might and main to draw the heavy loads which were already becoming burdensome. It was now noon and Old Sol was nearing his best and was shining forth with a fervent heat, the whistles blew, the farm bells rang, but the men were so excited that they did not heed the message. And kept right on with their work, forgetting that it was dinner hour and that themselves and teams needed rest, food and water. This excitable condition of affairs continued until about half past two in the afternoon, when Old Sol reached his maximum of heat. Then the pitchers in the field became stricken and sick from the awful heat of the sun, the men on the wagons could stand it no longer. And hardy horses and seasoned mules faltered and fell in their harness. The overseer was nowhere to be seen and the gallop of the old horse could be heard no more. The rickers had fell at their post and was buried beneath the golden straw that was sent through the machine by the feeder, the sackers faithful to their trust had perished too. The feeder who had had control of the greedy monster and had fed him the golden sheaves to his satisfaction was now prostrate upon the ground, and the engineer with his last shovel of coal had turned toward the engine and fell sprawling in front of the firebox. Nothing was now left but the engine and separator, and with the laborers all gone' they soon lost control of themselves; the separator with nothing to appease his hunger was fretting and growling to an awful desire. The engine, too with the blistering steam coming here and there, was puffing and groaning as if in misery. The engine now goes faster and faster, the separator more loud and noisy and was arousing attention through the neighborhood. Everything now seemed turmell and destruction. In a few minutes more the separator had taken fire, caused by the friction of grinding cogs and rolling shafts, burning up completely and everything around it. The engine was the last to go and during the time that the separator was, burning the engine with her last groan and one loud explosion burst into atoms, the countless millions of pieces flying God knows where, and may be flying yet as far as the writer knows.

Shannon & Mott Co Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts of money as are expended by the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so ridiculous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertissements. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the dors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three'd he have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's laps from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobby" she said, plaintively one day, "wry do you keep telling Major to 'set up' when you know 'sit up' is what you should say?" "Oh well, mother," Bobby answered hastily, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Major, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion." Speaking of Fathers. Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the gun and killed the whole war."—Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, I suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to Hle Trade "I'm more useful than you are," roasted the collie. "Yes?" replied the bulldog. "You don't say?" "Yes. You should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, just wait until some tramps come long here and when they start to run way watch me go for the calves."
