Ruff Lester comes TO the frons
with the smartest dog named-ons
that can count. It has been the
custom with the cook for the family
to make old Wade {that's the dogs
name) catch the chickens-three in
number-each day for the table.
The other day it was decided that
two chickens would be sufficient for
that day, and when the dog had
caught that number the cook took
them in, When she reached the
kitchen Wade was not Tar bahind
her with another fowl in his month,
making the number that he had been
accustomed to catch each day. And
so it is that Ruff claims that his doe
can count.-Ogiethrope, (Ga.) Echo.

catea a negro is to spoil a goods field

the assertion. It is pointedly par.
ticular, and displays in its spiris
that just and enlightened common
sense which we call patriotism.

A Model Farm.

G. R. Moys, one Of the best known
and most popular farmers of the Palouse
country was in Pullman last Monday.
Mr.. MoYs is firm believer in the fer
tility of the soil of his adopted country,
nothing having occurred during his
thirteen years residence here to shake
his belief. He says that if the land is
farmed right the farmer is sure OF
splendid return. His ranch of 800 acres
is situated fourteen miles south of Pull
man, toward Snake river, and on that
ranch Mr.. Moys has grown some phe-
nomenal crops,-not of grain alone, but
also of fruit He brought samples of
Seeding apples to this office last Mon
day, and they were beauties. In the
line of prunes Mr.. Moys this season has
a handsome crop; this is a fruit that the
gentleman thinks can be made source
of great revenue for Whitman county.
He says that if prune-drier should be
located at Pullman he alone could in a
few years keep it in fruit at two cents
per pound with great profit to himself.
Here is a matter that should be looked
into.
IN grain raising Mr.. Moys is be-
lever in summer-fallowing, and on 148
acres of it which he had in wheat this
season, he harvested 7O45 bushels, or
over forty-seven and one-half bushels
per acre. The wheat was of the club
and red chaff varieties. He also had
seventy acres in spring wheat, blue stem
variety, which yielded 2145 bushels.
Mr.. Moys has his farm fixed up in first
class style, having good buildings, fences,

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast in the Effect of
Two Poisons on the Complexion.

The slow absorption of many poisons
changes In some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion, has
led many silly women to kill themselves
with it in small cnotinued doses. 1t
produces a waxy, ivory like appearance
OF the skin during certain stage of the
poisoning, but its terrible after effects
have become too well known to make 1t
OF common use as a cosmetic. The ef-
tects OF ammonia upon the complexion
are directly opposite to that of arsenic.
The first symptoms of ammonia poison
ing which appears among those who
work In ammonia factories is q discolor-
alton of the skin of the nose and fore
head. This gradually extends over the
face until the complexion has a stained,
blotched, and unsightly appearance.
With people who take ammonia into
their systems in smaller doses, as with
their water or food, these striking symp-
toms do not appear 80 soon. The only
eHect OF the poison that IS visible for
time is general unwholesomness and
sallowness of the complexion. Many
people are slowly absorbing ammonia
poison without knowing it. The use of
ammonia in the manufactures has great
ly increased Of late, and it is unquss-
tlonably used as an adulterant in certain
food preparations. Official analysis have
plainly shown its use even in such cheap
articles of every day consumption as
baking powders. The continued absorp-
ton of ammonia in even minute quanti-
ties as an adulterant in food is injurious
not merely from its effect upon the COM
plexion, but because it DESTROYS the
coating of the stomach and causes dis
pepsla and kindred evils Prof. Long,
OF Chicago, is authority for the state
ment that, if to fifty million parts of
water there is one part of ammonia, the
water is dangerous.

EOOd-By, GambS.

Those gambling games which have
been running in this city for some time
past were brought to an abrupt termin-
alton this week. Acting under instruc-
tions from the Council, Marshal Squires
notified the sporting fraternity that un-
doubtedly there were much healthier To-
calities than Pullman in which to browse
upon the 'green," and suggested that
they Immediately hunt them up. AS a
result the robbers have packed up their
paraphernalia and skipped-nor will any
of them be allowed to do business here
again. Pullman, as well as all other
East Washington towns, has outgrown
the frontier" era, and should not toler-
ate the -and-easy, wide-open policy
that distinguishes the outposts OF civ
ilizatiOn

Talking Of Yields.

Farmers out III Iowa, Nebraska, Min
nesotaand the Dakotas will not believe
the truth concerning Washington crops.
In either of those states an average yield
OF 2O Bushels of wheat is enormous.
Dakota this year estimates her average
at ~ bushels per acre, and the people
are literally carried away with the enthu-
slasm Of success. Tell the farmer who
Is gloating over 20 bushels of wheat as
phenomenal yield that in Washington
4o bush ,ls per acre is of rather ordinary
occurrence, and he looks upon the mar
rator as a natural-born liar, without
truth IN his soul or the fear of God in
his heart.

The Farmers, Marehonse.

The Farmers Alliance, of Pullman,
has erected what is probably the most
extensive and complete elevator and ware
house in any city in Eastern Washington.
In dimensions the building is 2OOx4O
feet On the ground, with 20 foot posts.
and will hold 10000 bushels of grain,
1t is most strongly built, being first
boarded up on the outside, and then
having corrugated iron put on over this.
Every exposed portion Of the building
Is covered with the iron, and it is, there
fore, fre-proof, as a spark from the out
side can not find spot on which to
burst into flame. The facilities for
handling grain are also of the most COM
plete type. No lifting of sacks is nee
essary, everything being done on down
grade. The elevating is done by the
team hitched to the load of wheat on
the driveway which is very slight up
grade; and the elevator entrance opens
directly thereon.

d. The ChiIdren's Outing.

The children of the Congregational
Sunday school spent a very pleasant
afternoon last Saturday, in DAVIS grove,
just east of town. About one hundred
and fifty were present. Croquet, quoits,
see-saw, swings, foot races, hammocks,
ETC., made the time fly verv quickly.
The finest kind of a supper was served
at six, and although all we're hungry
and ate like harvest hands, there was
enough left for as many more. AS tw1-
light began to gather round the only
trouble of the day was experienced
that of getting the children started
home. Every one came away feeling
the afternoon well and happily spent.

The ''necktie social at the Congrega-
tional church Monday night, was quite
a success. The evening was free from
formality and all entered into the amuse-
ments with zest. One of the sons of
Erin was heard to remark, on being in
troduced to the maker of his tie, II told
my brother that [ was going to get the
prettiest girl here, and be darned if I
didn't do it." These sociaIs should be
kept up. Business has been SO lively
and pushing here in Pullman that it has
nearly absorbed our social life. Young
people are the same now as they ever
have been and ever viii be-des1rcl1a Of
having little pleasure with the work
Ii they can't get good amusements they
will take bad ones. Hence the doors of
the social should be frequently open.
This is especially necessary in our west
ern towns where SO many young men,
having severed home ties, find it SO easy
to go estray unless the proper influence
is thrown around them.

ters and identified the goods as part of
those stolen from his Pullman store"

notified of the capture and at once pro-
ceeded to Spokane and brought the ho-
DO back. Entering plea of guilty, he

A CURE FOR GRIPPE.

Kettring's Catarrh Cure, for which A.
White is sole agent, is proving itself to
be the most valuable remedy for the
cure of the prevailing grippe. The close,
stopped-up feeling of the head is at once
relieved and. soon cured by an applica-
tion of the cure, and that deadening
pain in the side of the head is immedi-
ately relieved. A large number of the
citizens of Pullman have used this rem
edy for the grippe, and owe their cure
thereto. The present siege OF the grippe
is more serious than ever before and you
should use this cure at the first symp-
toms 1t
