The Gents Clothing Emporium of Mr..
Abraham Eichenstein exactly occupied a
wedge-shaped space left by the meeting
Of two streets. one running north by
west, the other northeast by south. "A
neat fit was what Mr.. Eichenstein
called it. The easterly side of the in
terror of the first story was blank wall;
with shelves and counters, and the small
end was window for display and for
lookout; at the easterly side were more
windows and the door. The second floor
had at the apex of the wedge con-
tracted bedroom, where Mr.. Eichenstein
slept Or watched; Il long passage opened
on storage rooms; the back of the house
was wide enough to include the chamber
of his daughter Rebccca and larger
room which served as kitchen, dining
room and parlor. From this door

clothes lines for the weekly wash or for
the airing and busting of shop-worn
and secondhand garments. Rebecca also
cherished few pots of geranium, fuschia
and il Seeding lemon plant. The plat
form was surrounded by an implanted
railing; fight of wooden stairs ran
down to the street that ran north by
west.
Rebecca was frying doughnuts, happy

UNWISE DISAPPOINTMENT.
Neg1ecting Duty Which Ought to Be
Done Now

~oS1eCt1H& Duty which ought to Be
Done Now.
On general principles there is no
more foolish method of taking life
easy than by deferring IN obvious
duty. Especially foolish is the per
son who postpones the work of cleans
ing his blood. There are many rea-
sons why this work should be done in
the spring. This is the cleansing sea.
son, and the blood needs cleansing be-
fore all things else. That tired feel
ing is due to vitiated condition of the
vital fluid. The pimples and other
eruptions which appear are indications
that the blood has become loaded with
impurities which should be expelled at
once. In no other way can health be
maintained. Now there is but one tSue
blood purifier prominently in the pub
lie eye to-day, and that Is Hoods Sar-
saparilla- BY taking a few bottles of
this great blood cleansing medicine
the bodily health can be built up so
that when the warm weather comes
the system will be able to resist the
debiliating effects of the heated sea-
son. Those who start with good health
In the spring, given them by thor
ough cleansing of the blood by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, will be likely to pass
through the summer without serious
illness, and when the autumn comes
they will find that they are supplied
with strength which they had never
known at that season before. The
work of cleansing the blood in the
spring is one of the most important
duties of the season, because pure
blood means good health, and good
health is essential both to happiness
and to the highest usefulness in the
world

One Of Those Sharp Detectives.

A. smart capture was recently made
in the north of England by an ingen-
ious detective. 1t appears that for
some. time hats and coats had mystic
riously disappeared from one of the ho-
tells. At last the police wore called in,
and one of the walters was at once sus-
pected. But no proof could be found Of
the mans guilt.
After many attempts to bring home
the theft, the detective tried the follow
ing device:
Disguised as an old-dothes dealer,
he passed under the windows of the
hotel, calling out in q real professional
The waiter fell into the trap at once,
and coming out asked the supposed
dealer what he would give for a large
bundle of clothes, showing at the same
time quantity of the stolen articles,
and saying:
r. Now. what are they worth"
oh, about three years hard labor, "
replied the detective, ut the same time
.collaring his man.
The game was up. and the waiter
walked off to the lookup without muir

Spring Care of Live Sinck

"Between hay and grass is proverbial-
y hard time for farm live stock As
the warm weather approaches, the ami
mans often have Il great longing for green
food. Their appetites, like those Of hui
man beings, are often ftful at th;; sea-
SON On the other hand it sometimes
happens that the supply of food runs
short, and attempts are made to econo-
mizc by giving less, or working off that
OF inferior quality. The statement of the
case is all that is needed to show that
this IS mista ken policy if it can be avoid
ed. Especially when the winter feed is
scarce there is strong temptati ton to
turn the stock on the pastures too early
for their own good or that of the Das,
lures. It is every way better to keep the
stock off grass until the pastures have
made good growth.
The change from dry feed to grass

ger, especially with horses or colts. of in

selves with grass after having been con-
fined to dry food for long time. The
young grass is not as nutritious as after
it has made more growth, and stock often

turned on the pastures.

Steve Eikins' Attack on a Hen Roost.

0ICVc ElhlnS ACCaCk Oh a hen ftOOSt.
Ex-Congressman John T. Heard of
Missouri, who went out of sight in the
great Democratic extrpaton last fall,
were college chums ut the Missouri State
university. Just before commencement
they organized Il fishing and hunting
party and started down small river
near Columbia for weeks sport Luck
was hard against them. They gathered
III neither fish nor game, and the second
night out found them on the verge of
starvation. A farmers henroost near
camp arrested their attention and it was
determined to make a raid. Lots We're
drawn, and fate put it upon Elkins and
Heard to make the attack on the fowls.
Reaching the roost each climbed Il tree.
immediately the dogs began to bark, and
the farmer came out with a gun, which
he fired into the tree selected by Elkins.
Steve, who was a great big, clumsy, over
grown boy, lost his hold and fell head
first to the ground; the dogs tackled him
and he was made prisoner, the farmer
locking him in the smokehouse, where he
had to stay all night. Heard was hid in
the branches of his tree, and had sense
ment, after which he slid down and
skipped out In the morning Elkins was
taken to Columbia by the farmer In
the principal street of the town he made
his escape, never stopping in his flight
till he got to jefferson City, more than
thirty miles away. The grand jury re-
turned an indictment against him for
stealing chickens. and when he heard of
it he could hardly he persuaded to go
back to college to finish his studies. He
had an Grafton prepared to deliver to the
graduating class and had taken great
pains with it. The day before he was to
deliver it the Indictment was nolle
pressed. and he regained complete conf
dence in. himself. He prided himself OH
his 'oratorical powers and expected to-
create lasting. impression. He started
stirring up enthusiasm. When he got
down to the spread-eagle business one
of. the boys turned chicken loose in the
hall. Elkins did not exactly break down.
but his perora ton was not so eloquent as
it might have been.-Ncw York Press.

LinSeed Meal.

1 have no interest ill the sale of linseed
meal, and have no axe to grind, but
would like to see more linseed meal
ground up and fed to COWS, especially at
this time of the year, says writer i'll
National Stockman.
In addition to giving her regular sup,
ply of milk the COW must now go to work
and make 4 new suit of clothes for the
coming year. and her master is surely not
going to be as hard-hearted as the OLD
Egyptians and make her make bricks
without straw, nor will he, hope. think
that she can manufacture suit of clothes
from only straw, for she cannot do it.
Hair is made almost entirely from pro.
ten, and it takes very little reasoning to
arrive at the conclusion that the cow must
have some food that has some protein in
it's makeup at shedding time. Linseed
meal has about 30 per cent. of protein
in it, and is consequently just what the
cows need at this time It has also all,
other quality that l cannot explain, but
it is true none the less, and that is, it
will help the act of shedding, and cause
the new coat to have fine, glossy APP
pearance. It is the practice of many
farmers each spring to give their stock
some condition powder, paying about %
cents pound for it. Linseed meal will
do away with the necessity for any pow
dcrs at all, and only costs ~ cent per
pound.

Grain Feeding for Young Lambs.

Lambs intended for the butcher soon
begin to need more nourishment than
their mothers milk will furnish. They
should have it i'll the form of grain.
Those that are intended to be kept for
breeding should have little or no grain,
but be fed small amount daily of we'll
cured clover hay. A lamb ten days or
two weeks old will begin to pick at hay
placed where it can reach it, and if fed
properly will soon eat almost like an old
sheep. The greatest care in feeding fat

too much el The he sheep is always deli

that are sucking their dams. That is
only two ounces per lamb at d feed,
but it is better than more. If the lamb
needs more. nourishment give it what

to feed the lamb through the eve with
grain. That will fatten the eve, and
soon, dry her up. besides uniting her
