Used Exclusively.

In school the other day a class OF
little girls was asked by their teacher
to write short composition on the
North Pole. Many Of the statements
made by the young writer's were high
ly amusing. The one that provoked
the broadcast smile on the part Of the
schoolmistress was contained in a very
precocious disserta ton by little miss
which ran as follows:

sively for exploring purposes"

The Retort DeaerYed.

Speaking of the young man who
talks in public places, heard of a re-
tort made to him which was SO good
1 was surprised never to have heard it
before. 1t was at the theater, and the
young man had seen the play before.
He let everybody for four seats around
know that, and he kept telling just
what was coming, and just how funny
it would be when it did come. He had
a pretty girl with him, and he was try
ing to amuse her. At length he said:
Did you ever try listening to play
with your eyes shut? You've no idea
how queer it seems"
A middle-aged man with red face
sat just in front. He twisted himself
about in his seat and glared at the
young man.
young man." said he, "did you ever
try listening to play with your
mouth shut?"
And the silence was almost painful.

The Sheen business,

A man who keeps thoroughly post
ed in the sheep business said the 9th
er day: 1T is strange that the average
farmer does not take more kindly to
sheep. Nearly all farmers have few,
but they are much averse to going
into the business extensively. This
year when the country is full of feed
the cry is for stock cattle, and bug
ers are willing to pay high prices, but
the same feeders wouldn't buy stock
sheep if they were selling for dol
lar per dozen.' There is a good deal
of truth in this statement. Farmers
who never handled sheep are natural
ly prejudiced against them, and be-
sides the heavy losses in the sheep
business during the past few years
have discouraged feeders from invest
ing heavily. Practically no sheep have
been brought here this summer for
feeding purposes, but some inquiries
have been received lately and dealers
look for this branch of the trade to
revive during the fall. The future is
certainly brighter for the feeder than
it has been for several years.-Drov'

Scrub Feeders,

Before the New York Dairyman's
Association II. H. Matteson said:
Coming along up here to-day l came
by herd Of cattle that know. That
man sold everything he had and put
a pile of money into a herd Of CATTLE
and was calculating to roll the shek-
els into his Golfers right along. Re
Gently talked with him, and he
said, Il never saw herd so poor in
all my life 1t was then about eight
o'clock in the morning and that man
had these cattle out in the mud,
browning. He had the breeding. but
had forgotten the feeding and the care
of these cattle; and he is condemning
to-day the man who talked about
breeding stock. And he said. L had
rather have the old scrub dairy that
l had on the farm five years ago than
to have two like this That is why
we are condemned ard called cranks.
because we are asking for just as
much skill and care in the feeding as
in the breeding of the cattle in order
to reach a certain point. Then. there
is no better business in the world

CHILD SICKLY :?
Strength is Not Enough for
Proper Growth.
The Young Body Fails to
Get Well NOuriShed.
Needs Richer Bone and Tissue
Forming Food.
Body Cannot Grow Without Pure
Sturdy Blood.
Unequaled Value of Paine's Celery
Compound.

From birth till past the age of 80 there
is growth; some of the bones do not com
pletey knit till 50. All this time in ad-
dition there is the steady waste of the It's
sues that must be repaired. The de-
mand upon the vitality and upon the
powers of assimilation is thus enormous
during these years. Without plenty of
rich nourishing blood, growth must be
defective and tardy. But when it courses
through all the arteries in a full, vigor-
Gus stream, growth goes on steadily and
perfectly. What countless numbers of
frail youngsters physicians see whose
pitiably thin wrists and bloodless faces
cry out for better nourishment. All
tins does not escape the vigilant in
sight of parents. In thousands of homes
1t is well known that the boys and girls
are somehow badly nourished.
The weak stomachs and organs of as
similation cannot extract the food for
growing nerves and brains in sufficient
quantities from the ordinary diet
A special nerve diet is what they need.
Paine's celery compound is Professor
Edward e. Phelps great prepara-
ton for nourishing these little
frames and making them grow into
strong, active men and women. Dr.
Phelps upon whom colleges conferred
their highest honors for his invaluable
Investigations in medicine, knew from
ripe experience the exact needs of these
little sufferers. A chorus of gratitude has
gone up all over the country, from moth
ers of children once weakly and pale,
without promise of ever growing into
robust men and women, who have out
grown weakness and lack of vitality by
the use of Paine's celery compound,
taken with the regularity that physicians
adhere to when prescribing this wonderful
nerve and blood restorative. 1t is val
liable in all wasting diseases, in cleans
ing the blood of rheumatiam, neuralgia,
scrofula, and supplying new and healthy
modern nerve and brain strengthened and
restorer Paine's celery compound is
pronounced invaluable by all progressive e
physicians. Give this grand invigorator
fair trial, and be convinced.

SLOWED AWAY ON A SHIP
How One of the RevOIutiOnists ESCAPED
From Honolulu
Refugee From the Islands Lands at Port
Townsend and Tells
Story

Port Townsend, Wash. Feb 90
James Faulkner, Il Hawaiian refugee,
came up from Honolulu as a stowaway on
the schooner Puritan, and admits having
taken an active part in the recent upris-
ing. He says it was the intention of the
real leaders of the insurrection to over
throw the government, and not to rein
state the Queen, but to put in new leaders
of the republic. About the time the
government was prematurely informed of
the plot, the Queen and her supporters
were apprised of the duplicity, and that
was the true reason she so promptly alb
dicated.
Faulkner says the schooner Wahlburg
and another vessel landed 1900 rifles and
1000 pistols, of which, up to last advices,
less than one-third had been found, and
he prophesies that the remainder will be
cached for future insurrectonary uses.
He further declares the bombs found in
the building near Washington Place were
intended to be thrown into the police sta
ton and military barracks, and not for
the purpose of destroying the church, as
previously reported. Among the Royal
lists, of which he is member, it was gen
orally known that Spreckels was strongly
in sympathy with the uprising.
