The story that English capitalists are
buying up certain American patent nictli-
cine manufacturers is revived in New
York, and is probably true. II they will
only sample them to see how cfficaciOus
they are, we may get even with them yet.
1t appears that the reason Washington
did not go i'm with the two Dakotas Is that
the territorial governor forgot to sign the
returns sent to- Washington. II was "a
sure sign. nevertheless, that Washington
would return the returns to Washington,
and when Washington returns the re-
turns Washington returned To Washing

A Connecticut COW has gone the. way of
all flesh that comes into contact with dly-
Mantle. She was chewing u piece which
her owner, who was engaged In blasting
rocks. had laid down i'm the pasture. II is

food is only measured by their intensity
of appetite. The cow is supposed tn be
of IA higher grade OF intelligence. The
goat is bold and daring enough. hut his
bravery is essentially the result of ignor-
ancc coupled with "a consciousness of
brute strength. The cow il infinitely more
cultivated. She reflects, mcditatcs and

Many useful devices owe their dlisccv-

fact that accident lesl him to il will not
prevent Mr.. George NJ. High. of Chicago,
from procuring u patent for the auto

So successfully at his house one
night last week. IN big bold burg

approaching him at the other end of the

other fellow drew his. Feeling that delays
were dangerous as ~ rule, and especially
under such circumstances. the burglar
fired and fled. The only objection that

Missouri's new saloon law having gone
into effect last Friday, all dice. cards,
chairs, tables, pianos, banJos, ar musical
instrument of any kind. singing. pool or
billiard tables. bowling alleys. all games
of chance. sparring or wrestling are strict.
~ prohibited in all looms Things look
bad enough for the Missourians. but a
good deal liz saved out of the wreck not
withstanding. Ii will bc noted with pleas
ur,' that the law IL silent on the free luncl
counter. The absence of chairs may Ina
co~mpcnsatcd,in large measure by the uss
of beer kegs. for We do not understand
that the law forbids the standing of bcel

nor will prove n fair substitute for tables
The more prctcntious saloons. too. ma!
rent the adjacent stores as anncNcs 4
which all the club and amusement fca
lures of the business may bc transferred
The law will seem "a hardship tn the aver
age Missouri citizen no doubt. but d
should reflect that he has much to h
thankful for. He may still drink.
