nolvnnIzod steel wire FencInr.

The most extensive and complete
plant for the manufacture Of wire fenc-
ing in the United States is the De Kalb
Fence Company, located at De Kalb,
III. For years prior to 1890 barbed
wire was extensively used for
fencing, but those using 1t often lost In
fine stock, more than its cost and to
avoid danger to man or beast there was
need of, and a demand for, barbless
fence.
The proprietors of this company
having spent more than IL years in the
manufacture Of wire fencing, recog-
nlzed this fact, and have produced the
best lines of smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now in use. The success of
this company is due to the managers
adopting the true business principle Of
making good what they make, putting
enough material in their lines to make
them both strong and serviceable, in
stead Of producing cheap filmsy ar
tlcle only to meet the price Of a fence
that has never given satisfaction. This
is what has made their fence so popular
and In such great demand and to-day
they have over 40 special machines,
with a capacity Of over % miles of
fence per day, and their fencing is used
In every state in the Union. The fence
most used Is their Cable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing, Cable Poultry
Fence, Steel Web Picket Fence, and
Park and Cemetery Fence, and to COM
plete same they also make gates Of wood
or steel frames to match, and also fur
nlsh iron posts. All Of their styles Of
fencing are strong, neat, durable and
economical in price.
And everyone needing fencing OF any
kind will consult their own interests by
sending to the De Kalb Fence Co., 121
High street, De Kalb, ILL.,, for their A
page catalogue and prices. The reader
is also directed to their advertisement
in this paper.

deficiency in the number Of it's congre-
cations. Different preachers take
charge of the services from day to day,
each one going in different section
Of the city. On Sunday, when the or
dained preachers are busy with their
regular charges some deacon oficiates,
and the wagon is usually drawn to
some suburban locality where people
congregate in the endeavor to keep
cool.
But there is no part of Washington
that this wagon does not penetrate.
Those neighborhoods in which live the
classes considered mostly in need Of
redemption are visited every day at a
scheduled time. There is great in
terest in the services and the attend
ance is always good. The services usu-
ally last about half an hour.
Although the Gospel wagon and its
occupants have gone among the very
toughest classes in Washington they
have been treated with respect even by
those from whom they had reason to
expect ridicule, if not violence, and
many persons ordinarily Indifferent to
religious services became actually in
terested, with the result that frequent
conversions have been made. The
builders of the wagon have orders from
several other cities for vehicles Of
similar structure, to be used, for the
same purpose.

Flourishing Pistol There,
The boys are telling rather good
story on a Fargo citizen and police
officer, which runs something in this
wise, says Fargo Forum: The citizen
had purchased a candy revolver for his
little boy, which closely resembled
genuine weapon. Last night he was in
the ladies' waiting room at the North
ern Pacific awaiting the arrival Of No.
2, smoking cigarette. It's against
the rules to smoke in this room, and
when the officer stepped in he detected
the smell of smoke, and after sizing up
the crowd, finally located the citizen
calmly smoking away.
Here" said the officer, "if you want
to smoke you will have to go outside"
Don't you talk to me that way" re-
piled the cigarette smoker, "or I'll blow
YOU full of holes" AS he said this he
drew the candy weapon from his pock-
ct and leveled 1t at the officer. The
crowd at least took no chances. Con-
WINGED there was going to be shoot
ing and that a "copper"" or somebody
was going to be killed, there was a
unanimous desire among the bystand-
ers not to witness the slaughter of the
devoted guardian of the peace. Every
one made an attempt at the same time
to reach the door, Several might have
been injured If the prompt action Of the
police officer had not prevented the
panic that seemed imminent. He seized
the citizens right arm and pushed
it up and back so that If the candy
revolver was discharged it would be in
the air. Then he shouted: You are
under arrestw and led him out into the
hallway, which was soon crowded. The
citizen still held the candy revolver,
which looked formidable enough in the
dim light. He seemed to have lost his
bold front and was trembling with
fear. In faltering tones he said: Don't
put me under arrest. 1 would rather
eat this revolver than be locked up In
police CELL"
WELL" said the officer, half in jest,
"you eat that revolver and I'll let you
CO."
"All right" he returned, and to the
amazement Of every one, including the
officer, he put the barrel into his mouth

Throat Paralysis.
From the cOuEier-H Herald, Saginaw, MlOh.l

From the Courier-H Herald, Saginaw, Mlcn-l
It was publicly talked all over Glare
County for some time before the Cou-
rier-Herald sent a reporter to Dover to
investigate the Coulter matter. He
finally went. and we publish to-day his
report. The Coulters are prominent
people, though Mrs. c. In response to
the question whether she objected to be-
ing interviewed, said, Certainly not"
Her story follows: About IA years ago
we decided to take up our abode In
Dover and everything went along
smoothly for seven years, business
progressed and being OF a saving tenn
permanent we accumulated quite an
amount. Our family increased as the
years rolled by and we now nave
children, but sickness made It's way into
our household, and doctors bills hooded
upon US, until we have nothing left but
our home and our children. Everything
went to satisfy the claims Of physicians.
About three years ago had miser-
able feeling at the back Of my ears my
right hand became paralyzed and the
paralysis extended to my arm and
throat, and would affect my head ano
eyes. Sometimes for days / would lose

procured, expanding thousands Of dol

A Child's Definition.

What strange ideas children must
have on subjects about which they new
er speak! Certainly some of those which
are drawn from them would indicate
this fact.
The teacher Of a Hartford infant class
propounded the following: Can you
tell me, children, what a skeleton is?"
The infant class looked troubled.
Their ideas on the subject were of the
most vague description, and, they
seemed to think, hardly worth mem
tioning. The question passed down
the class, almost to the very foot, gain
ing only a blank look or shake Of the
head, until at last the smallest tot Of
all ventured reply; "Pleathe, NTH, 1
fink know" tnr
"well, dear, what is it?" asked the
teacher.

feet in width and will comfortably
seat thirty-three people.
AS may be seen in the picture, part
of the panel on the right hand side Of
the wagon is cut through and works
outward from the lower end on hinges.
When this is on level with the floor
of the wagon it is held firmly in posi-
ton by iron straps and constitutes the
platform from which the preacher may
address the assembled throng. On the
opposite side of the wagon is another
opening in the panel. When this is in
use it falls to a level with the pave
ment and provides, on its inner side,
four steps by which one may ascend
and enter this fin de steele chariot Of
the Lord. The roof is detachable, so
that in fair weather it may be removed.
On hot days a canvas covering protects
the heads of the worshipful from the
suns rays.
On the left hand side Of the wagon,
and adjoining the pulpit platform, is a
handsome organ. The choir is an able
one, and singing is an important feat
ure. All the seats are made to fold so
that space may be economical when
necessary. A handsome pair Of roam
horses, donated by wealthy sypathiz-
er, draw the missionary wagon about
the city.
