Mamma opened the door and-whgt
do you think? 1t was the grocery man,
and he began rolling in things into the
hall. Such piles and piles of them! A
whole barrel of flour, sweet potatoes, a
big turkey and-ecery thing!
We just danced around the room we
were SO glad, and Bob almost made us
crazy.
But papa and mamma did act so queer!
Papa just put his arm around mammals
neck, and | do believe they both cried!
knotc mamma did.
The man said the things were sent by
the railroad hands. We never knew be-
fore that it had any hands, and we don't
see how it can send things, if it has.
But something beautifuller still came
after that-the post-man brought it.
Twas letter, and when papa opened it
he found a paper in it that gave him
pay for all the time since he was hurt.
Oh, it was just splendid! Mamma
never sewed a speck all day. And I'm
sure it was the best Thanksgiving that
ever was! And we were all so happy!
Chris and l think it all came because
we wrote that letter, but may be God
told the railroad hands about it. We
asked Him to help us, and mamma

Must be true, and the universal verdict of
those who have used Hibbard's Rheumatic

Where Can He Be Found ?

Wanted-A Boy.-A brave, courage
Gus, manly, hopeful boy; one who is not
afraid of the truth one who scorns lie;
one who hates deceit; one who loves his
mother; one who does not know more
than his parents; one who has the cour-
age to say no, and stick to it; one who
is willing to begin at the bottom of the
ladder and work upwards; one who
thinks it would be unmanly to smoke;
one who thinks an education is worth
striving for; one who Is willing to obey
his superiors; one who knows his home
is better than the street; one who
doesn't believe the marvellous tales told
in the story papers, and will not read
the vile stuff; one who won't cheat in
a fair game; one who won't be a
sneak, and do a mean act when
unseen: one who went spend every
penny he earns or gets: one who thinks
he should respect himself and keep him
self in decent appearance; one who
won't attack an old man because he is
feeble and defenseless; one who won't
torture dumb animals; one who won't
steal; one who won't swear; one who
won't listen to or repeat nasty stories;
one who won't do dirty act for another
boy who is too cowardly to do his mean
ness; one who loves to do right because
it is right. Wanted-a boy, a whole
souled, earnest, honorable, square boy.
Where can he be found? Does he live
in your neighborhood? Is he a member
of your family? Do you know him?-

The Mexican wasp is built entirely
for business. He is over two inches
long when he is of age, and is about the
color of bay horse. His plunger is a
full inch long and as fine as a spiders
web. Unlike the singer of common
bee, the singer of the Mexican wasp is
non-forfeitable. He doesn't give up
after one lunge, but has it always ready
for an all-day job if necessary. The mis-.
sion of the Mexican wasp seems to be
merely to hunt up people and run that
singer of his into them. The natives
say that he will go ten miles out of his
way to get a whack at person. The
natives seem to get fat on snake bites,
centipede bites and scorpion stings, but
if they discover one of these wasps in
their neighborhood they hunt for cover
without delay.

CATARRH.
catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A Ne,
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not SNUFF or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on

One Of the Results OF FAttening Animals in
q Short Time.
Apoplexy is usually a disease OF fat
hogs, although an animal that has
long been thin or suffering from exces-
sive irritation of the intestinal canal
would also be predispOsed to it. 1t
must be understood that the process of
fattening an animal in a few weeks
destroys the equilibrium OF the system,
and in one sense the fairness is in itself
disease. The storing up of fat in the
animal economy is always at the ex-
pense of muscular development. The
muscles become weak and habby. All
the blood-vessels of the system are
surrounded by strong, tough, muscu-
lar coat that in a state Of perfect
health will resist any force that the
hearts action can put upon these
canals. But the fattening process
weakens these fibers; a sudden or
unusual strain ruptures one in the
brain, and we call it apoplexy. 1t is
not as common in the hog
as one would expect. but oc-
ours so often that the breeders
should understand it and know the
right thing to do. 1t is impossible to
foresee when this is going to occur. II
the rupture is a very small one. when
the blood is oOzing out in tiny drops,
the hog will sometimes be found lying
insensible and breathing heavily. Nc
effort viii arouse It.. 1t is more usual
to find big fat hog lying dead, with
no external marks or signs Of the
cause of death. Cut open the skull
carefully, and clot of blood of greater
or less extent viii be found inside. IL
alive. however. tie a stout cord above
the knee and with a stick take twist
in the cord until on the inner side OF
the leg below the knee the brachial
vein can be felt. Open it with sharp
pointed knife, and If the blood viii run
take a pint and a half or q quart.
Don't guess at it. An ounce of blood
spread over the ground or on the Aoor
has been mistaken for pint. If the
bleeding is to do any good, there must
be considerable taken. If the broken
vein is a small one. and the case is OBJ
served soon after it occurred, the ami
NAL may be saved. If it partially re-
wives it will be proper to evacuate the
bowels. A large stock syringe would
be valuable here to throw up a quart
of warm water In most cases, how
ever, the owner will have chance tc
sell the animal for soap-fat.-Ameri-

Only the best mustard is worth hav
