In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out Of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspep-
tics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonder work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember:-Nc happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dy-
speptic. Ask your druggist for a bot
atle. Seyenty-live cents.

SATURDAYS STORM.
1t Hands Out the Old Year and
Ushers i'll the New,
In a Fashion Most Blustery and
Decidedly Demoralizing.
iFrom Mondays Republican,


The oldest inhabitant cannot find
words to do justice to the storm which
set in early Saturday morning. and con-
tinued without intermission for fully
twenty-four hours. Yet, today all is
serene again and one can hardly imag-
Inc that the elements were so boisterous
in the last hours of the old year.
The storm was predicted from the st.
Paul signal Office and arrived on time
1t consisted of high northwest wind
with considerable snow and followed
by a falling thermometer. The
streets soon became impossible and by
noon of Saturday were almost deserted.
The air was filled with fine snow and
OF from Nam street navigation was
well nigh impossible. A few drays and
delivery wagons, and McLain's milk
Sleigh kept at work until afternoon
When they were forced to suspend. The
outgoing trains were abandoned, while
1.-The morning passenger from the east,
and local train from the north in the
evening" Mere all that got in that day.
Visions of repetition of the tribu-
lations of 1S80-81 troubled the minds of
those who were here at that time, and
aroused dire apprehension among the
late arrivals, who had heard that tale
of woe over and over. There was anx-
lous inquiry as to the supply of pro-
visions and coal, and both these
branches of business felt a fresh stimu-
lus. The REPUBLICAN force was as
badly demoralized as any of them. The
editor went home on a dray about
o'clock Saturday afternoon. and staid
there because he couldn't get out again.
Several of the printers went to dinner
and failed to get back again. while the
delivery boys struck as one kid at the
prospect of making the rounds Sun
day morning. AS q consequence, the
paper was obliged to appear as it did,
and be delivered through the postotfice.
The high wind slammed one of the
postotice storm doors up against the
north plate glass window Saturday af-
ternoon, and shattered the upper half
OF it.
One of Gillespie's dray teams went
down in a big drift near the court
house this forenoon, and it was a hard
job to get them out.
The nearer a person lived to town
the farther he had to go yesterday to
get down. He had to take a tack
around a drift every half block.

a touching example Of a dogs devo-
tion to its master was seen in Salem,
Mass, one day last week. John Gynan,
bachelor, committed suicide by hang.
ing. The police were notified and
came to remove the body. An i'm
mense Newfoundland dog, the only
companion of he suicide, wason guard,
lying beneath the body and trying to
revive his master by licking his shoes.
While the policemen were cutting the
dead mao down the dog stood by with
his eyes riveted on his masters face,
but the moment they tried to remove
the body he became ferocious. He bit
the men until they were glad TO bea.
a retreat. Then he caIessed the dead
mans. face, whining piteously the
while. The police tried to coax him
away, but he showed his teeth every
tine they approached ard his savage
growl warned them to keep their dis
tance. The blockade continued for
over an hour. Then one policeman
fired two shots at the faithful brate.
The dog plunged down the stairs to
the door and again blockaded the way,
swapping at all who approached. He
became so rapid that It became abso
luteiy necessary TO kill him. Fourteen
bullets were fired at a close range be.
fore he fell dead. Then the dead body
of the master was carried over the In
animate form of the pet dog.

Prayer Is a golden key that should

Friendship which flows from the

need not mourn because you are neither

Quicksand and Tigers.

The ship has anchored inside of the
Hooghly river. one OF the many estua-
ries OF the Ganges. The moon has
just come up from over a low island to
the east. The air is balmy aud has the
sweet odor of the land. Light clouds
move !aZily across the ruddy face OF
the queen of night. a well-born daug-
ter of that far-off island which rules
nearly third of the world by her brain
and through her well-filld Golfers, is
playing with gentle touch the sweet
variations of the ''Mocking Bird.' Re-
fined gentlemen and geDtIewoman loIl
OF walk softly about the deck, listening
to the music.
1t is hard TO realize that a few miles
up the broad river Is beach outwarily
as mild as meadow lakelet, but whose
bottom Is shifting quicksand. TO touch
which is almost certain destruction to
the bravest steamer. Within a few
months two fine ships of this company
have been sucked in by the sands. One
is almost erect. L am told its masts
extend few feet out of the water.
The sands suck in ships as leeches take
In blood, and are ever ready for more.
Vessels are piled one upon the other,
swallowed never TO be digested. Care
ful pilotage and daylight are necessary
to avoid the hungry monster.
1t Is hard TO realize that on yon low
island, just under the low lying moon,
tigers are more abundant than in any
other part of the world. The keepers
OF the signal station live within high
brick wells, and dare not go a hundred
yards beyond them. Refuge houses
are built along the coast on high piles
close TO the water. Canned food, 400
gallons ot water. a chart with full di-
rections how TO find a port, and a boat
are at each. And great pIacsrds are
stuck up warning the shipwrecked man
to beware of the tigers, and to attempt
to get on except by day, and at no
time TO venture into tie jungle. The
islands and surrounding mainland are
swampy, and the low jungles ar said
absolutely to swarm with tigers aud
crocodiles. Nothing less than q tidal
wave seems able tn drive them away.

Dressing Poultry.

To dress a fowl with the least trouble,
hang it up by the feet so that it will
drop a convenient height and attach a
wire hook to the under beak OF the
fowl, to which haEg half abrick. Sever
the jugular vein with a sharp knife,
and proceed TO pick, holding the wings
with one hand while you pick with the
other. Work quickly. Get most of
the feathers off the breast side with
three or four hand pulls, and change the
wings TO the other hand held across tn +.
breast OF the fowl, and with few pulls
get most of the feathers off the back.
Grasp one wing at time, and Iull out
the long feathers at one stroke. Then
finish up the picking entirely before the
fowl is taken down. When done, chop
off the head. take sharp knife and cut
through the skin around the vent, being
careful not to sever the intestine. Pull
gently, and as the intestine comes out
insert the forefinger and bring out the
intestiDes rapidly, but do not break them.
Get them out of the gizzsrd, and bIeak
OF there by the thumb and forednger,
and your fowl is ready for the market.
If you wish 20 make ready to cook, the
hole must be slightly enlarged and the
gizzard pulled out, cut open the inner
lining removed, with all gravel, food.
etc. a slit must be made in the breast
and the crop removed, which should be
empty when the fowl is killed. Some
people remove the lungs. 1t is not
necessary. The beart should be remov-
ed and washed, as some clothed blood
is usually around it. The operation OF
preparing fowl for market can be done
by an expert sometimes in three min
utes.

Airing Beds.

1t is a false idea Of neatness which
demands that beds should be made up
soon IN the morning after being vaca-
ted. Let-it be remembered that three
fitths of the solids and liquids taken
iuto the stomach should pass on through
the pores or the skin-soms seven mil
lions in number-and that this escape
OF poisonous superhuous matter is very
rapid at night while one is warm in led.
Nature never provides anything in
vain, aud the great number of pores in
the skin are provided because they have
a great amount OF work to perform /;
for it is estimated that at least one
half OF the waste aud putrid matter,
amounting to some twenty or thirty
ounces in twenty-four hours, passes the
skin and as we have said, much OF il
during The night. Therefore, the body
clothing and the bed clothing should be
eft off IN the morning. and the bed
clothing either changed, or we'll aired
by turning the cover back for some
time before having the bed made ND. ,,
The secret OF health consists much
more in attention to such apparently
little things than in swallowing drugs
on all occasions.

A Stinging Story.

Many readers are familiar with
Wallis extraordinary feat. In 1919, in
driving, according to his statement, a
swarm of ices across the plains. A day
or two since, as one of our bushes smen
was coming down towr, he happened TO
discover hugh bee quietly resting on
Wall's shoulder, as preparations Were
being made to sprinkle the Court House
lawn. "Say, Wall, what are you doing
with thai bee on your shoulder ?''
Wall was startled for a moment, but
recovering his usual composure, spoke
with gravity, carrying conviction of un-
tsrnishable truth. "I'n tell you, and
it's the solemn truth, if ever 1 spoke it
in my life. That bee is the queen of
the swarm that drove across the plains
She has been hunting me for years, and
knew me the moment called her name.
You see, she is getting a little gray,
but L knew her on sight. She piloted
the swarm. and l used to feed her from
my own moiasses can. That bee is the
last of her race, and L shall take care of
her in her old age. L tell you John,
that bee brings up many "reminiscences
of that memorable trip. Several times
that swarm STOOD by me in an hour of
peril. They could scent an IDdian sew
eral miles away, and they got to really
enjoy an Indian attack. The fact is,
they understood tactics as we'll as the
best trained soldiers. When the queen
sounded An an alarm every bee was un-
der arm ready for fight. First a skr-
mish line was thrown out, and you
could see more or less uneasiness among
the redskins as one and another would
claw at his ears, eyes or nose, but when
the order 70 charge was sounded, and
the bee battalions began to move in
double quick a route and stampede
always followed. It is fact, John, IL
ever told the truth in my life. What
1 am saying is true. Those bees fought
all my battles across the plains, and
this is my old queen sure enough.

To Wash Blankets.

Put pint OF household ammonia in
blankets well beaten to remove all
cliugiDg dust before you get the tubs
out. Then lay the blanket lightly on
over the ammonia, and pour upon 1t a
sufficient quantity of warm water to
cover the blanket entirely. Then with
stick or the hand, flop the blanket
about In the solution, pressing all the
water that will come out of it against
the side OF the tub, without wringing
as you remove it to the rinse water.
You will be amazed to see the dissolved
dirt coming out through the 6bres, as
no washing or rubbing with soap suds
will bring it out. Rinse in the same
way, in the same moderately warm wa
ter mot boiling water), and by simply
pushing the blankets about in the tub.
Press through the wringer and hang
out to dry in a windy place not in the
sun. AS the blankets hangs there dry
ing, little water Will collect in the
four corners, which it is rather an
amusement to squeeze out to help the
drying process. If you do not care to
put another blanket in the first ammon.
mated water, which must be done
promptly, as the ammonia evaporates
quickly, divide the quantity, taking
half pint for each one OF the two tubs,
and wash two blankets at once. The
evaporating ammonia, released by the
warmth OF the water, can only escape
through the blanket which is laid over
it in the tub before the water is applied.
Hence you get the value of every drop
of it. In ordinary cleaning with am
monia, for paint, brasses, silver, etc.,
mix it with cold water first, and then
add little warm water. to the pail.

The skeleton in the Barn.

This is going to be great year for
the farmers. Never before at this pc
riod of the season was there more fav.
orable prospect of bountiful returns in
every department of husbandry. We
hear from all sections that the wheat
crop has been remarkably good. The
barns are fairly bursting with the abun-
dance of the yield. And what Is unusu-
al il a good wheat year, the corn prom
ises good crop. Grass has also done its
full duty, and the other products OF the
laughing fields vie with each other il
making this year one of unprecedented
abundance to the farmers.
In the midst of this prospective
plenty there is a skeleton in the barn.
The advantage of such prolific crops is
diminished by the effect of vicious tax
laws that discriminate against the far
mar. His profits are curtaiied by trade
regulations that compel him to sell his
products in the cheapest markets of the
world while he must buy his necessar-
les in market In which the prices are
kept up TO the highest figure by war
tariff, What he shall get for his wheat
and other cereals is fixed by the pre-
vailiDg price in Liverpool. The home
market, so much vaunted by the sup
pofters of restrictive tariff regulations,
Is Of no consequence whatever In deter
mining the prices he receives for those
commodities. He must take his chance
in competition with the farmers OF all
the world in the Erg'ish free-trade
market. But the price OF what he
buys. whether 1t be lumber for his house
and fences, clothing for himself and
family, tinware for his kitchen. plows
and bsrrows for his fields, salt for his
pork aud butter, and almost every 9TH
er necessary article used in his house
hold, is axed by tariff laws made in the
interest Of the trusts. syndicates and
other monopolistic combinations that
subject him TO regular system OF roll
beIy.
The farmer this year Will be favored
with unsual returns for the labor he
has expended upon his well-tilIed fields,
yet The skeleton will mar his content
ment. But he can remove it by assist
ing with his vote in reforming the un>
just laws that have Disseminated
against him.

The Sense of smell of n Horse.

The horse will leave musty hay ur-.
touched in his bin, however hungry.
says the Prairie Farmer. He will not
drink OF water Objectionable to his
questioning shifts, or from bucket
which some odor makes offensive, how
ever thirsty. His Intelligent nostril
will widen, quiver and query over the
daintiest bit offered by the fairest of
hands, With coaxings that would make
a mortal shut his ewes and swallow a
nsnseous mouthful at a gulp.
a mare i5 never satisfied by either
sight or whinny that her COLI is really
her own until she has a certified nasal
certificate to the fact.
y blind horse nov living, will not
allow the approach of any stranger
without showing signs of anger not
safely TO be disregaIded. The distiuc-
tion is evidently made oy his sense OF
smell, and at n considerable distance.
Blind horses, as rule, will gallop
wildly about pasture without striking
the surrounding. The sense of smell
informs them of its proximity. Others
will. when loosened from the stable go
directly to tho gate or bars opened to
their accustomed feeding grounds, and
when desiring 10 return, after hours Of
careless wandering, will distinguish the
one outlet and patiently await its open
ing. The odor OF that particular part
of the fence is their pilot to it.
The horse in browsing, or while gath
ering herbage with his lips is guided in
its choice of proper food by its LostIils.
Blind horses do not make mistakes in
their diet. In the temple of olympus
a bronze horse was exhibited, at the
sight of which six real horses expert
enced the most violent emotions. Aeli-
IN iudiciously observed that the most
perfect art could not initiate nature
sufficiently well to produce so strong n
illusion. Like Pliny and Pausanius, he
consequently afflrms that in "casIing
the statue a magician had thrown Hip
pomanes upon IT,, which by the odor OF
the plant deceived the horses, aud
therein we have the secret of the mira
Gle. The scent alone of a buffalo robe
will cause nanny horses TO eviuce lively
terror, and the floating scent of a rail-
road train will frighten some long after
the locomotive is out of sight and hear
ing.

guised as laborers and in other forms,
as well as decoy women, are swarming
where it is thought the fend may be
tempted to reveal his hand again. In
the meantime the public is beguiled
with multitude of the most preposter-

the police tendency to act upon them
rather than the pronlptings of good COM
