Oyerreached Himself.

An old farmer IN Waldo county had
a choice lot of COWS, and a neighbor,
seeing the herd in the pasture, asked
for how much ne could have his pick
of one. twenty-five dollars" said
tie owner. "All right, I'll be around
tomorrow and select one The next
day the owner of the COWS told his
hired man to drive the only poor
COW in the lot 10 the barn. Soon the
buyer put in an appearance to buy a
COW. He missed one, however, and
was suspicious. Glow is this? You
said could have my pick of the lot.
Where is that other cow" "Oh that
COW you don't want" said the owner.
"She is old and no good, so | plac cd
her in the barn. You don't want her"
But the buyer insisted on having that
COW. He suspected she was the best
one of the lot. "All right, then" said
the seller. Drive that COW out. John"
The COW was driven out and the buyer
would not look at the rest, but pur-
chased her at once and drove her
home. A day or two afterward he
came back and accused the seller of
cheating him, and wanted him to take
the cow back. But the old fellow re-
fused, saying that the buyer had had
his pick.-LeaOistOn, Me-, Journal.

We have the word of Alfred len
nyson for it that in the spring the
young mans fancies lightly turn to
thoughts OF love. 1t is singular that
the great laureate omitted to mention
the fact that it is in the spring that a
considerable portion of the human
race turn to taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Probably nothing but the difficulty OF
finding a good rhyme for that lnvalu-
able remedy deferred him Certain it
is that the old time domestic remedies
are generally discarded in favor of the
standard blood purifier, Hoods Sarsa.
parilla, which has attained the greatest
popularity all over the country as the
favorite Spring Medicine. 1t purifies
the blood and gives nerve, mental,
bodily and digestive strength.

CO.operation in Town Building.

There is no village, town or city but
that has an ambition to develop into
manufacturing center. There are but
few that realize their ambition. In this
day of sharp competition that cheap
commodity called "chin music" goes
but a short distance in attracting
capital and inducing the location of
manufacturing industries. A location
must possess extraordinary natural
advantages in the way of power, fuel
supply, transportation facilities or sup
ply of raw material to induce q manu-
featuring concern to seek it without
some effort on the part of its citizens.
In most cases a cash bonus, subscrip-
ton of stock or donation of site is re-
quired to secure this end, and generally
the most liberal offer secures the en-
terprise.
The demands of the promoters Of
these enterprises are often so exorbi-
tant that they can not be prohtably
met. Thousands have been donated
to corporations by towns throughout
the west, and in great many cases
the benefit has been infnitesimal
The remedy for this is in cooperative
manufacturing investment. Every
community has sufficient idle capital
among its people to equip AMI main
tain manufactures which will be both
profitable to the investor and advanta-
geous to the community.

that a paper mill, cannery, starch fac
tory or any of the hundreds Of differ
ent branches of manufactures now
carried on in the United States could
be successfully maintained in their
town. A meeting should be called, an
incorporation formed, the cost of the
plant ascertained and books for the
subscription of stock opened. The
price of shares should be placed sui
ficiently low to allow persons Of
moderate means to become stockhold
ers, as often this class of persons are
the most progressive citizens a com
munity affords. Only those IN whom
the community has the fullest conf
dence should be put at the head OF the
movement When all the stock Is sold

only require good business method
to make it success-fnancially anC
otherwise. After one industry il

How Louisiana Dogs Got Value.

A very interesting damage suit was
decided before Judge Rightor Of the
Civil District Court on Wednesday,
which involved point Of much inter
est to all lovers Of the dog The case
was damage SUIT to recover from the
Carrollton Railroad Company dam
ages to the extent IF $3.50, the value ol
St, Bernard dog killed by one Of the
cars of the defendant company, The
learned counsel for the defense insist
cd strongly that dogs were noJ proper
ty, and that in the killing of his dog
the owner had suffered nothing in
damages. A practical refutation of
this argument was the verdict Of the
Jury, which awarded to the owner of
the dog the full amount Of the damages
which had been claimed.
Fifty years ago dogs were not con.
sidered property by the laws of Louis.
ina. Col. Frank Lumsden, one of the
founders of The Picavune, was one Of
the celebrated local Nimrods of that
day and kept number of fine dogs
for use during the hunting season
Just when the dogs would be needed
they were invariably stolen, and were
recovered by the offering of large re
ward. When, finally, the thieves were
caught with the stolen dogs in theil
possession, it was discovered that they
could not be prosecuted, because il
was shown that dogs were not proper
ty in Louisiana.
Being an arden loyer of his canine
pets, Col. Lumsden lost no time il
having a proper law framed, anC
urged its passage through the Legisla
ture with success Since that time
dogs have been considered property il

BREAD QUESTION.

BROOKLYN, Jan. Tt seemed appro

this sermon after his personal contribu
tion of 5000 pounds of meat and 2,00(
loaves of bread to the poor who gather.
cd shivcring in the cold around the bak-
cry and meat store of Brooklyn, where
the food was distributed without tick
cts, and no recommendation required
except hunger. The text was, Matthew
xvi, II. ."Ye have the poor always
with you. .
Who said that? The Christ who
never owned anything during his earth
ly stay. His cradle and his grave were
borrowed. Every fig he ate was from
some one else's tree. Every drop of
water he drank was from some one else's
we'll. TO pay his personal tax, which
was very small, only 81 d cents, he had
to perform miracle and make fish
pay 1t. All the heights and depths and
lengths and breadths of poverty Christ
measured in his earthly experience, and
when he comes to speak of restitution
he always speaks alphabetically, and
what he said then is as true now" Ye
have the poor always with you.
For 5000 years the bread question
has been the active and absorbing ques-
ton Witness the people crowding up
to Joseph's storehouse in Egypt. Wit
ness the famine in Samaria and Jeru-
salem. Witness the 1000 hungry people
for whom Christ multiplied the loaves.
