Animals That Tr' ole Ranchers

The kangaroo plag has always been
great nuisance to "a australian SQUAT
tiers, for on an averasN these animals
consume as much grass as sheep. 1t
is stated that on n sheep run of 60, 900 to
10000 acres 10000 kangaroos were killed
annually for six consecutive years, and
yet their numbers remained very for
midable in the locality. In the colony
of South Australia hundreds of thou
sands of kangaroos are slaughtered an
nually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities. The number
of these marsupials in New South Wales
in 1880 was estimated to be over 1000.
600, and yet about 100000 langaroos and
$4,000 wallabies were DESTROYED in the
colony in that year.
A bonus Of IL cents for each kangaroo
killed is offered in Australia; hence the
colonists are gradually discriminating
these native animals. Over half a million
skins are annually shipped to England
and a large number to North Americi
to be converted into leather,

Hard Work and indigestion 90
Hand i'm Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor
When a five horse power engine is made
to do ten horse power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will bolt " his food in a few inin-
utes which will take hours TO digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense In the
treatment of the stomach and the whole

THE DRUMMER WlLTED.
A 81 600 Ante In n Senatorial Game Was
Too Rich For His Blood.


A group of millionaires were playing
what was probably the stiffest game of
poker ever played in the United States.
It was at Chamberlin's, in Washing
ton, in the winter of 1889 and $780,
The exact list Of the players will never
be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col
orado and Ex-Governor Hauser Of Mon
tana were in it, and Senator Farwel Of
Chicago was in the room.
About midnight swell drummer for
Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator Farwell. The senator went
down to see him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going on
He introduced him to the other players.
"Have you any objection to my play
ing?" asked the drummer.
"Well," said Senator Wolcott, 81
have no objection, but-er-well, you
see, the game is pretty Steep
"Ha, hap laughed the drummer,
THAT is the kind of game like. y
Elk Governor Hauser remarked that
if he could stand it the rest Of the
crowd had no objection. With winl
at Senator Farwell, the drummer sa
down, pulled out a ''wad," peeled of
a 81, 900 bill and said to Governor Hau
ser, who was dealing:
"Give me some chipsH'
Then he looked around the table, a
much as to say:
"No flies on me, eh?"
"Give the gentleman one whit
chip" said Senator Wolcott. Govern
or Hauser passed over the chip withou
a smile and remarked:
Jack pot for So, 900. Put up you
,, money"
The drummer sat aghast for an il
slant; then he picked up his money an
said:
"Too rich for my blood"

A CHlLD'S IDEA.

He stood beside my knee the while turned
The pictured pages of the holy book.
Stood in the wisdom of his three brief years
True wisdom--that which ever seeks to know.
And now his eyes are wide with wondering:
A ladder set from earth TO heaven! Where
fore?
The small brow knit, then came conclusion
swift.
~ see; so angels carry up the gold
For God to make the harps Of" Smiling,
Dismissed the childish fancy with kiss.
But bordering, as ponder ever now
On all his words, there grows the meaning as
IN darkness grows the star. The harps, in
deed
In heaven are fashioned, but the withdrawal
Is delved from earth's dark breast with toll
and pain.
Cleansed- tempered-it may be with bitterest
tears
Laid at the ladders foot, our part Is done.
So shall the harps be ready, be attuned
For symphonies divine-oh, wise, sweet soul!

Mr.. Douglas says that he believes there are
hundreds of workingmen and workingwomen
who find doctors bill great burden after a
period of enforced idleness, aud that If this is
lifted from them they must feel that their EN-
poyer is interested in them in some other way
than simply to get all the work he can for just
as little money as he can.
The plan is a wise and good one.
Speaking of the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co., il
may be said that their factory is the only one in

HOW IT MAY HAPPEN.

"Jeminy crickets, she's got the ricketts,"
whispered one beau to another in the COM
pany of very pretty girl. Truly she was
very beautiful, but there was a twitching
about the nerves of the face which showed
suffering. "No," said the other, "it's
neuralgia, and she's a martyr to it." st..
Jacobs Oil was suggested as the world-re-
nowned cure for it. Did she try it? Yes,
and was cured by it, and-marred Zone
of the fellows" afterwards The use of
the great remedy for pain will not bring
about marriage, but in its cure of pain it
will bring about conditions of health to
make lie more enjoyable No man or
woman ought to marry who is sufferer
from chronic pains. We should not wed
woe to win only wretchedness.

To Thread Hair Through a Walnut.

To pass hair through walnut with
out boring hole seems an impossibility,
but the feat has often been done. The
hull of the walnut, when examined with
a strong glass, is seen to have innumer-
able small openings, some of which lead
entirely through then nut. The trick con-
sists in using very fine hair and an in
finite amount of patience. Pass the hair
into one of these minute crevices and
urge it gently along. Sometimes it will
appear on tho other side at the first trial,
but if it comes out at the hundred and
first you will be very lucky.-St. Louis
