dressing a gentlemanly looking young
man opposite her, said:
"Shtop the car"
The young man looked over her
head.
"Shtop the car, 1 say" she re.
peated, giaring an him savagely.
Still no response.
"Didn't l tell ye to shtop this car Is
she shouted, gripping her umbrella.
Il am not the conductor, "remarked
the young man with sarcasm. while
the young women in the car tit
tered.
''Faix, an you're not" replied the
Irish woman scornfully, 'an' you're
no gentleman, nayther. Moreover,
you're no blessin' to your mother,

muscle, nerves and joints, and are better un-
derstood as being 50 easily and surely cured

Even at best the bulldogger's position
lacks great deal of being a sinecure.
The time of year when most cattle
are branded is in the spring or fall.
Most of the calves are of suitable age
in the fall, but for grown cattle the
spring is preferred, because they shed
most of their superfiuous hair then.
Calves are branded any time after they
are two weeks old, but from three to
six months is the usual age. Stock
men say that full yearling is the
hardest animal they have to brand. If
any man thinks one at that age isn't
tough and muscular just let him try
to hold one down. There is one pecu.
liar feature about branding calves, and
opinions in regard to its cause vary
widely. Sometimes when young
calf is branded tine brand will grow as
the calf grows and when the animal is
full grown will be fully twice as large as
it was originally. Then, again, some
times it will remain just as it is, not
growing particle. This seems to me
really a remarkable phenomenon, but
it is undoubtedly fact. Some stock.
men account for it by saying that it
depends upon whether the calf is
branded in the dark or the light of the
moon, while others are inclined to
think it depends more upon the depth
to which the branding iron burns the
hide. 1t is fact that branding is
sometimes done much more deeply
than at theirs. If the iron is hotter
than it ought to be-red hot, for inst
ance-- the hair may catch fire and a
needlessly sore place be made on the
animal. If it is just hot enough, an
application for two seconds is long
enough. If the iron is getting cold,
it may be kept on the animal for half
minute. Sometimes the bulldoggers
have to hold the animal down for ten
or fifteen minutes, while the puncheI
goes and heats his irons second
time.
Perhaps the reader understands by
this time that branding big herd in
wolves a large element of real, hard
work. He should also understand
that in selecting a new brand, a cattle
man has to exercise good deal of dis

n really good brand is about as hard
as to devise q catching title for n
modern book or story. In fact a new
brand is selected very much as is the
title of modern novel. 1t is not nee
essary that either one should mean
anything in particular, provided only
it is something nobody uses. To get
an altogethrr new brand in Texas is
now very difficult feat. Every letter
in the alphabet has been used long
ago, many combinations of letters,
and all reasonable combinations of
| fguress. A man must be very hard
up when he would devise one like this !:

read that ''seven thousand seven hund-
red and seventy seven in parentheses,
but the cowman calls it "four sevens
in brackets" Sin liar ones are as fol-
lows: (9999), (666). These three are

A Peculiar Hobby.

A man living in Folkestone, Kent,
England, has peculiar hobby. He
buys frst-class houses, furnishes them
in good style and then refuses to rent
them, although some would bring from
$500 to $500 year. AS part of the
town rates are paid by tenants the
authorities are much annoyed by this
strange conduct. There being no law
to compel him to rent, the eccentric
house owner simply snaps his fingers
at the tax collectors. Chicago Herald.

is shown by all tests official, scientific and prac-
tical, stronger, purer and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers and we'll known by all dealers
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the Royal" it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal." To- give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials and thus, though selling for the
same give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal." There is no substitute for the Royal"

Nicaragua refused Great Britain's
ultimatum in regard to paying the
indemnity of $4,000 demanded on
account of the expulsion of her consul.
Accordingly, British sailors were
landed, who occupied the town of
Corinto. They will hold this place
until the demands of their govern
ment are complied with. The Nicar-
aguans say they will never pay the
indemnity, so that Uncle Sam has the
pleasing prospect of seeing Great Bri-
tain in extended, il not permanent,
possession of one of the keys to the
Nicaraguan canal. Very likely Great
Britain was right in making her de-
mand for reparation, but unless the
United States is prepared to abandon
the Monroe doctrine it should jealous
ly watch any attempt of a European
government to gain foothold on this
continent.

McCarty's Pardon Again.

| The Burlington Meas gives addi
tional information concerning thu
pardon of w. B. McCarty, convicted
liquor seller, as follows:-
"The facts in the case are very sim.
pie. A petition for conditional
pardon to McCarty was signed by a
large number of the most prominent
citizens of Burlington. In response
to this petition, Governor Woodbury.
granted pardon, conditioned on his
going out of the liquor business abso-
lutely, both in person and by agent.
In case of violation of this condition,
a mittimus is to issue forthwith and
McCarty will be taken to Rutland to
serve out his sentence That's all
there is of it, and we fail to see any
just reason for adverse comment on
the Governors action.'
1t is unfortunately true that not a
few leading men of Burlington SYM
pathize with violators of the prohibi-
tory law. Some of them patronize
such places as McCarty has run. 1t
is not difficult matter to get consid-
cradle influential backing to petitions
of this nature in Burlington, when
the violator is high-grade liquor
dealer. If he keeps a low grogshop
down on Battery street it is very
different matter. In that case the
men who signed McCarty's petition
would say that Rutland was good
enough for the poor reprobate. The
governors first duty is to execute the
law in such a manner as to reduce
lawlessness. Petitions praying for
clemency ought not to stand in the
way when the issue is clear.
The Neacs sees no reason for ad-
verse comment in this case VIII it
tell us why McCarty should be saved
from punishment more lllan any
other onvicted rumseller Can it
name one man in Burlington whose
offence is more rank and notorious
than his Would not the example of
well-mcrited punishment have been
more sa.utary than that of trium-
phant pardon? Above all, will the
Netcs tell us if Gov. Woodbury. really
did say that he stood ready to pardon
all convicted rumscllers on like terms ?
A large number of liquor dealers and
would-be liquor dealers are interested
in this latter point, for if true it re-
moves weighty obstacle from their
path.

Have you ever been "too tired {

sleep?"
Nerves, like telegraph wires, continue
to vibrate long after the message has
gone over them, with this difference,
that the nerves need to be built up af-
ter each message.
When the network Of nerves is kept
alive and tingling with work or excite
ment all day long without opportuni-
ty or proper means for repair, sleep
becomes more and more difficult, and
debility, nervous weakness and often
times loss of flesh follow.
In nine cases out of ten that dread
disease, insomnia, is directly traceable
to a nervous system that fails to get
the nourishment that is demanded to
replace the wOrn-out parts. The brain
and nerves cannot appropriate as food
all that comes to them.
A profound knowledge of the con-
dition of the nervous tissues when
weakened by overwork and INSULT
cient food enabled Prof. Edward +.
Phelps, M. d., LII. d., of Dartmouth
medical school to discover true nerve
food in the form of Paine's celery
compound that actively feeds the all
ing, shattered parts and builds them
up into new, healthy tissues.
AS soon as this remarkable invigo-
rator, Paine's celery compound, has
had chance to fairly enter into the
circulation it begins to quiet and in
vigorate the tangled nerves; and sound,

lf'Major Josiah Grout of Derby is
in the race for the governorship next
year--and it now appears that he is
interesting complications are liable to
occur. 10 begin with, the Major will
be handicapped by the fact that his
brother, the General, has been hon
ored by being six times elected to Con-
gress and voters may be excused for
inquiring how much more the Grout
family expects at their hands. If the
Major should overcome this objection
and receive the nomination it would
in turn embarrass the candidacy of
his brother, the General, for re-elec-
ton to Congress. The General can
not afford to drop out of the line of
promotion to the Senate as would be
the case If the Major should be gov
ernor and someone else Congressman
in his stead. Then il a vacancy should
occur in our senatorial representation
it would hardly be the proper thing
for Governor Grout to appoint his
own brother, Congressman Grout, to
fill it. Custom DEGREES that the gov
|ernor's appointment is almost invaria-
bly, elected to Il regular term when the
time comes. II a vacancy should oc-
cur, the General would doubtless pre-
fer that someone besides his brother
should be governor. The Major has
always stood in the background while
honors were conferred on his brother,
but he may have conceived the idea
that it is his turn now; that the Gen
eral should be satisfied with what he
hes had already;a and ought to be will
ing to go on the shelf. The Major is
getting along in years and unless he
wins the governorship next time will
probably pass off the stage for good,
especially if the General continues to
hold seat in either house of Con-
gress.
