LITTLE THINGS.

It is the little things that count. For
instance in the Post Office department
our respected Uncle Samuel uses half
a million lead pencils annually. He
takes 1900 quarts Of mucilage, 1900
barrels of ink, 10000 pounds Of rub
Der bands and 1900 gross of pens.
Life is made up of little things, little
instances, little events. If a cold is
taken to-day and is added to, to-mor-
row it develops into grave pulmo-
nary trouble. If you take cold do not
fancy you can neglect it. To delay is
dangerous. Get a bottle of Reid's
German Cough and Kidney Cure at
once. This great remedy contains no
poison and it is impossible to take an
overdose, but it will cure the worst
malady arising from cold. Get it
of any dealer. The small bottle costs
IS cents, the large bottle 50 cents.

Ho Ate Poisoned Cake In Court and
Cleared His Client.
A well.known Kansas Cityan tells
this story:
Fifteen years ago Judge insolvency
was a famous criminal lawyer Of south
ern Michigan. He was called upon to
defend a young woman from the charge
of having poisoned her old husband. It
was question of whether or not she
had placed poison in cake, of which
the old man had eaten. portion of
the cake had been analysed by chem
ist and found to contain a great deal of
deadly poison. The chemist testified to
this in court. Other witnesses succeed
ed in making chain of damaging evil
dence against the pretty young widow.
The time came for the summing up
speeches of the attorneys. The prose-
cution began and finished and all
looked hopeless for the prisoner at the
bar. Judge McSweeney, the only
speaker for the defense, arose amid
breathless silence. The room was
crowded, and all were listening. One
could almost hear the quiet, it was so
intense. He began in low tone to
sum up the evidence in defense of the
prisoner. He had been allowed an
hour in which to plead his side of the
case. He dealt with everything but
the cake. 1t rested npon the table just
at his right hand, where it had stood
during all the weary trial. Thirty min
utes passed, and the people were still
motionless, charmed by the sweet elo.
quence of the gruf old lawyer. Three
quarters of an hour passed by, then
another ten minutes. When the clerk
over the big desk told him there were
but five minutes left, he reached his
hand out to the cake, half of which
stood upon the table, and broke off a
ragged chunk. He held this in his
hand and between sentences took
great mouthfuls of it. The chemist
had declared that there was enough
poison in it to kill fifty men. The
good people looked at him in amazement
and the jurors turned to each other
and whispered. McSweeney wound up
his speech, took another chunk of cake
and walked quietly from the court
room eating it. He closed the door be-
hind him, ran into small room close
by and locked the door. Two physi-
clans stood ready with stomach pump,
and in ten minutes the cake was all in
the slop jar. The jury returned YER

DOWN BY THE SEA.
The Old Man Waits His Boy That Will
Never Return.

The Old Man Waits His Boy That Will
Never Return.
When the morning was breaking and
the first level shafts of sunlight danced
again over the big cities, and sparkled
and lrradiated on the waters like
FURNISHED gold, the old man was out
on the bridge, his eyes set in the direc-
ton of the tides that run down to the
sea.
When high nool came and the swarms
of life were at their highest, as the
toilers came and went at their midday
meal, the old man was still there, aim
lessly drifting thither anu yonder, al
ways watching the far-down sea and
the ships that were coming in from over
the ocean.
When the evening stole on, just he.
tween the twilight and the deep night,
in the crowd there on the bridge the
weary watcher still paced slowly to
and fro, still watching the dusk-en-
circled sea.
If you should meet the old man to.
morrow in your rambles, pass on heed
less, for his case is beyond all help or
need of it now.
The bark Golden Star was wrecked
fifteen years ago off the Cape of Good
Hope and all were lost.
He will never know the sad truth
that his boy will never return. Robbed
of his reason, he drifts about the shore
and PAGES the bridge, with its com.
handing view of the gate to the ocean,
waiting for the ship which will never
return.
One day he, too, will go down will,
the tide; and only then will he find
peace and rest at last.-Once Week.

TO DESTROY THIsTLEs,
Various Methods Which Have Been En-
DlOYad SuccessfullY.

Various Methods Which Have been EN-.
ployed Successfully.
The Canada thistle differs from the
common bull thistle, having more
slender stem and smaller flower heads
which are about one-half inch in di.
ameter. 1t is also more difficult to de.
stroy as it is a perennial, spreading by
long underground stems, which pene-
trate deeply into the soil, often below
the reach of the plow. Frequent deep
blowing will, in shallow, dry soils,
nearly always destroy the thistle,
though in light, rich, moist soils even
this method fails.
Care should be had in blowing, or
otherwise stirring the soil, not to allow
any leaves or roots to remain, or the
blowing acts only to spread the weed.
Other methods of destruction are hoe
ing, sailing, burning or enriching the
land and forming strong grass soil.
Moving when the thistle is coming
into bloom does not destroy but merely
checks the growth of the plant, al
though applying kerosene oil to the
roots after cutting may prove effectual.
The seed will! resist everything but a
hot fire and wherever practicable this
method should be used. Burn every
vestige of the plant. 49,. = :
The common bull thistle is not as
hard to deal with. It can be dietin-
guished from the Canada thistle by the
larger flower heads and larger stem
and leaves. It delights in rich soil
and is common by roadsides and in pas
lures It is easily destroyed by keep
ing it cut just below the surface of the
ground. the plant dying of exhaustion.
