BAXTER A GENIUS.
How the Faribault Attorney
SprinIxIes His Lawn,

That George N. Baxter, of Fari-
law has long been a crystallized
fact, but that he is an inventor and
a boon to posterity is not so we'll
understood, says the Faribault Dem
ocrat. A few evenings since a rep
resentatiVe of the Democrat strolled
past his house and grounds as the.
burning sun was sinking behind the
trees of Central park, just across;
the street to the left, and saw him.
cool as cucumber on ice, sitting on
his front porch and leisurely slipping
a glass of lemonade while his poetic
hair rustled in the breeze and his
artistic eye wandered about his
grounds covered with a rich carpet
of green and variegated with urns
and beds Of flowers and fountains.
and Swallowed with trees, between
which hung most invitingly, Per-
sian hammocks of scarlet and gold.
1t was picture for an artist to
contemplate and the weary feet of
the r. o. t. d. paused and as his
body leaned against the fence he re-
marked to the proprietor: your
grounds are very green and fresh,
considering the hot, dry weather.
ut is neither hot nor dry" said Mr.
Baxter, and, stepping to the corner
OF his porch, he turned a cock or
pushed a button and-out of the
ground, all over the lawn, little
spraying, sparkling fountains of
water leaped up covering every foot
OF its surface and in one minute the
dark green grass sparkled as with
the dew Of morning, and at another
touch the miniature fountains ceased

You see," said Mr.. Baxter. "a

then the ordinary sprinkler wastes it.

we saw, and Mr.. Baxter explained
that he had purchased ordinary steam
pipe of sufficient amount to cover his
grounds, he had perforated it at in
tervals and placed in the aperture a
little tube, filed and fitted to send out
spraying fountain, the water being
elected with sufficient force to meet
that of the other fountains on every
side. The pipes had been placed but
few inches below the ground and
covered with the sod, no depth being
required as they are not for winter
use. The expense is small and Mr..
Baxter claims to have solved the lawn
problem for dry seasons, and it looked
that way to the person who was lean
ing against the fence.

DAMAGES TOO HEAVY.
Judge Kicks Says 100000 Is Too
Much in This Case,

CLEVELAND, O., July "a few
weeks ago a jury in the United States
district court gave a. verdict of $4,000
against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company in favor of Charles Hen
throne. who lost both arms in an acct
dent. A motion for new trial was
asked. Judge Kicks has announced
that, in his opinion, the verdict was
too great, and was largely based, he
believed, on testimony that the COM
pany knew the engineer who caused
the accident to be g. hard drinker and
still employed him. Judge Kicks stat
ed that an examination of the COM
pany's pay rolls revealed the fact that
the engineer was not in the companys
service at the time of the accident
Henthorne's counsel was informed by
the court that if a judgment of $15,OO0
half the amount awarded by the jury
was accepted, the motion for a new
trial would be overruled. Judge Kicks
gave as another reason for his action
the fact that in the adjacent court dis
trict on the west a jury recently al
lowed only $4,000 damages in a case

he was mistaken. The next morning
when he examined the box he found the
snake dead and the rat perched upon

his hunger with a. dish of rattlesnake
The box gave evidence of a struggle be-

that the rat had been quicker with it's

"Our church is not rich enough
to give the pastor a we11-,ner-
tied and much-needed vaca-

heard during these hard times

made it easy for any pastor to
have a magnificent summer va
cation and at practically no ex-
pense to the flock DER which
the shepherd is keeping guard.
Besides, the information he will

adviser in an undertaking
which will recuperate him and

1t is, however, to the late DR.. Jean
Martin Charcot, of Paris, the most
eminent specialist of this century in
nervous diseases and a Commander
of the Legion of Honor, that the civil
lied world owes the prescription upon
which the Kola Nervine Tablets are
compounded. DR.. Charcot studied the
Kola nut carefully, analysing and not
ing it's effects. The result was his
prescription, which he pronounced a
true specific, invigorator and restora-
tive in all nervous diseases. He and
his eminent compeers in America and
Europe give ample testimony as to
the immediate and lasting virtue of
Kola in diseases of the nerves, brain,
heart, blood and muscles.
In 1890, when the Marquis of Sails
bury was Prime Minister of England,
the British consul at Bahia reported
officially upon the Kola nut, it's uses
and virtues, and among other things
