consumption. She was 32 years
and % days old, and had been an

willing to die, having only one re-
greet, that was leaving her husband.

beloved by all who had the pleasure
OF her acquaintance. She was a
lovely character, never complaining.

KITE SHAPED TRACK.
Interesting Information as to Dimen-
sions OF the New Mexico Track.
From the American Trotter.

From the American Trotter.
We have received many inquiries
regarding the dimensions of kite
tracks, and for the benefit of such
enquirers we viii give the dimen-
sions of the kite shaped track at In
dependence, Iowa:
The track lays north and south
with the loop to the north. From
the beginning of the turn on the
loop to the wire there is 800 feet
straight for scoring. The track is
rs feet wide at finish and gradually
decreases in width until at the be.
ginning of the turn. l, 574, 74a
feet from the wire, it is sixty feet
wide, which is the width around
| the turn. Measured around the
turn on the fence line the distanct
is $780, 14 feet. Both stretches
are the same. The track here il
two and a half feet down grade t.
the first quarter, then five feet VI
grade to the t~hree-eights pole, thel
down grade five feet to the three
quarter pole, then two and a hal
feet up grade to the finish. TIL
track is on low swampy ground, am
is built of decomposed vegetation
To the character Of the soil and tn
condition in which the track is kept
as much as the shape, is due th
fastness of this track.

The chirography in this note was
beautiful, and there was no trem-
bling of the hand from agitation.
Every stroke "a firm and the
punctuation precise. Of course the
laudanum was sent. The State law
makes it the duty of the druggist or
clerk to label all poisons and regis
ter them in a book kept for the pur-
pose. Anyone can get poison at any
drug store by making the statement
that it is wanted for medical pur-
poses. The law is lax and should
be strengthened to protect the drug
gist as well as the community in
general.
When the bottle of laudanum was
sent out, it bore a label:
"Laudanum-Poison." Also full
| directions as to dose.
