THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Bill For Its determination Ceused
Very Spicy Hearing.

Very spicy HEARING
WASHINGTON. Feb, lS.-Hearings were
given by the house committee on agricul
ture Saturday to representatives OF the
farming interests of the northwest, whc
favor the bills before congress for the eX-
termination of the Russian thistle.
Governor Shortridge of North Dakota
WAS the principal speaker. The secretary
of agriculture was ridiculed by Repre-
sentative Sibley, Democrat from Penn
sylvania, because of letter written lass
August stating that the weed was bless
ing because sheep would eat it.
Governor Shortridge said that the weed
had Leen brought in by Immigrants
few years ago and had spread until it
covers 10000 square miles It grew to a
height of three feet, completely choking
out grain. Unless war could be success
fully waged against this weed many farm
ers would be compelled to abandon their
lands entirely.
Representative Sibley asked: Have
YOU not a letter from the secretary OF
agriculture saying that the farmers
should regard this weed as a blesslng?'
Governor Shortridge replied that Score
tary Morton had written such letter, but
in his opinion the secretary must have
been driven to it by newspaper articles,
written by man who had sheep to sell.
Then Mr. Sibley stated that the secre-
tary of agriculture had written that the
low price of wheat was u blessing because
it could be sold abroad and our gold
brought back in return. Secretary Nor
tons letter was characterized by Governor
ShOrtridge as rot"

Bound to Have His Fun.

Speaking of football brings to mind
a time not many years ago when Yale's
athletic conscience was not SO tender
as at present. On her team were grad
yates galore. She even went outside OF
a candidate or two, though none of the
imported tons O men" finally played
at Springfield.
Among the surreptitiously acquired
material was one true-hearted son OF
old Erin, over six feet tall, and re.
nowned as a pugilist. His physique
was excellent, but somehow he never
seemed to get into the plays. Nor was
he deficient in courage. The coachers
could not understand it until one day
he was given the ball to run with.
Then some rusher tackled him hard,
and in minute the former pugilist
had dropped the ball and was going at
the tackler hammer and tongs.
Here, you" shouted the coachers.
What are you doing there? Play
football"
And between the cracks Of the blows
came back the answer:
"Oh, go to the divil, an lave me do
me man!"-Boston Budget.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup OF Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man.
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
