The teller of tall stories" generally
finds his rebuke awaiting him in an in
telligent company. On one occasion.
when several physicians had met, the
conversation ran TO the subject Of the
extraordinary things which human be-
ing might swallow and still live.
The familiar stories about swallowing
silver dollars, sets of false teeth, and 40
forth, had been related, when Doctor
Longbow began 10 TO speak.
Two years ago, he said, Il was called
in great haste to attend a carpenter in
my town, though the message said that
the man was beyond doubt already dead,
for he had, while holding large gimlet
in his mouth at his work. suddenly been
taken with fit of hiccoughs and swal-
lowed the gimlet.
But when l arrived at the mans house
found him very comfortable. The gim-
let, gentlemen, gave him no trouble at
all to digest.
There was silence for a moment. Pres.
emily one of the other doctors remarked !.
with you for his physician, Long
bow, the man was lucky that it was
only gimlet that he undertook to swal-
low
"What do you mean?"
"Why, if he had tried to swallow one
Of your stories it would have choked hin,

The Good Young wife.

There is young married woman OF
my acquaintance whose first wifely ex-
perience with the needle resulted In a
capital joke on her. She found what APP
peared TO be two immense rips on the i'm
side of the tails of her husbands frock
coat, and while he was downtown she
carefully sewed them up. When the
young man came home to lunch his wife
met him, coat in hand.
"Fve just mended 1t, she said "there
were two awful rips in the tail of il. 4"
"Let me see, said the husband of the
industrious young woman. II didn't
know there was tear in it. +"
"Yes, there was; right there.
"But those are the"
The young man caught the look of in
nocent doubs on his wife's face and
stopped.
"Yes, those were fearful rips-things
were getting in them all the time.
And the young man went down TO his
Office and picked out the threads in order
to get at his handbook and few letters
that he had in those tail pockets. kan

"What is the meaning of the word

Various wild guesses were hazarded BY
different members of the class, and then
it came young Barttelot's turn. Without
hesitation he replied:
"A place to put cats into.

IL is quite amusing to compare the
opinions of men and women concerning
the personal appearance of Mrs. Leslie
Carter. Men generally agree in calling
her strikingly handsome, both in figure
and feature. Women consider her too
tall, and declare that her mouth is alto
gether too large to lay any claim to
beauty. This from some women who
We're enthusiastic over Mrs. Langtry

has large mouth, but she has beauti-
full set of teeth. Her hair is of the gold
en- brown which is the delight and de-
spair of artists. That she is a woman of
more intellect than either of the other
actresses is discernible at glance, and
when she speaks this impression is great
ly intensified. She doesn't attempt elab-
crate street toilets, but dresses quite
simply. She therefore seldom attracts
more attention from strangers than any

A Sensible Precaution.

You ask me why inquired your ad-
dress when writing out the prescription
for your cough. The reason will at once
commend itself to every sensible mind,
and is simply this: There have been
cases innumerable where lives might
have been saved had the number of the
residence of the party for whom the pre-
scription was put up been known to the
druggist. For, as we all know, mis-
takes are made even in the most relia-
BILE drug stores through the carelessness
of clerks. Not long ago o druggist
found, on returning from supper, that q
bottle of strychnine was on the counter,
and asked the reason why.
The clerk replied that he had just been
putting up prescription, and was hor-
riied when he found that he had made
use of strychnine instead Of some less
harmful drug mentioned in the prescrip-
ton. The frightened young fellow did
not even know the name of the person
who had come for it, or for whom it wac
intended, and after hours Of search on
the part of the distracted druggist the
unfortunate victim was at last traced to
his home, but too late, for the first dose
had killed him. That is why place the
name of the patient both on the prescrip
ton for the druggist and on the stub
left in my prescription book.-Interview

Si,25 per Acre.

$4,000 acres of Land In Western Texas,
watered by two never failing rivers of pure
water, with living water in different places
on the tract. Railroad runs through the
land for 40 miles and has four stations
within its boundary. The land has an ele-
walton of from Q, ZOO to $500 leet above sea
level and an average rain fall according to
the signal report for the last ten years of
A.2 inches per annum. The country is of
limestone formation and is broken up into
hill, valley and table lands; producing
mesquite and gramma grasses on which
stock thrive sall the year round without
other food. Fifty miles of fence will en-
close the whole tract; the increase can be
easily counted fromI7O to 80 per cent Stock
can be shipped direct from the rancho, thus
avoiding long drives. A like amount of
land can be leased from the state for 10
years at the rate of cents per acre per

The board of equalization of Burleigh
county adjourned Wednesday. The as
sessment seems to have been so we'll
done that comparatively few complaints
were received except from those who de-
sired the 5000 deduction, which, of
course, could not be entertained. Had
the 5000 deduction been made-as will
be the case hereafter-over one half the
taxpayers will escape taxation on per-
sonal property. The county board, as
required by law, has made the tax levy
for the ensuing year-$24,0OO for the
general fund; $4,000 for the interest and
sinking fund, and $4,000 for bridge fund.
The present board has been the most
economical, all things considered, OF any
board Of commissioners Burleigh county
ever had. 1t run the county for about
$4,000 a year-a saving Of over a third
from the previous administration. The
citizens of Burleigh county certainly
have little complaint against the present
board.
