The president says that during the year
more than S172, 100000 in gold have been
drawn out of the treasury for the purpose
u shipping abroad or boarding at home.
While nearly sloa, OOo. OOO of the same were
drawn out during the first ten months of
the year sum aggrcgating more than two
thirds of that amount, being about $685.
UJ,0U0 was drawn out during the follow
ing two months, thus indicating a marked
accelcration Of the depicting process with
the lapse of time. The obligations upon
which this gold has been drawn from the
treasury are still outstanding and are
available for use in repeating the exhaust
ing operation with shorter intervals as
our pcrplcxities accumulate"
The gold reserve the president says, is a
necessity to the upholding OF our public
credit and it needs speedy reinforcement.
The government can pay current eX-
penses, and an increase of revenue will
not cure the trouble. The question Of sill
yer, he holds, has nothing TO do with the
question before us. The friends of silver
do not desire "a condition that might
follow inaction or neglect to appreciate
the meaning of the present exigency if it
should result i'll the entire Punishment of
gold from our financial and currency ar
rangenents." There are treasury notes
that must be- paid in gold amounting to
sJo co 90; there are 500, UOn, go of bonds
to fall due in 1904. in $50. $4,000 60
more-ail Of which must be paid in gold.
After declaring that he is not unfriendly
to silver the president presents his remedy
for the existing condition of things, and
ii is in tcief to authorize the treasury to
issue bonds of the government for the pur-
pose OF procuring and maintaining a suf-
ficieIt gold reserve and the redemption

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
The Grip Almost Won Where the
Bullet Failed.
Our symPathies Always Enlisted In tho
Infrmities OF tho Veteran.
1From n. herald, Jroodstoet, Va.l

(From ne Herald, Woodstoek, Va)
There Is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served In the war with Mexico and IN
the war OF the rebellion, Mr.. Levi McInturff.
He passed through both these wars with
out serious wound. The hardships, how
ever told seriously on him, for when tho
grip attacked him four years ago II nearly
killed him. Who can look on the inffrmi-
ties OF a veteran without feeling OF tho
deepest sympathyi His townspeople saw
him confined 70 his house so FRUSTRATED
with great nervousness that he could not
hold knife and fork at the table, scarcely
able TO walk too, and as he attempted IL, he
often stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent TO be had--but still
he suffered on for four years, and gave up
finally In despair One day, however, he
was struck by the account OF cure which
had been effected by tho use OF DR. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found It's way TO his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed anatural color, and he was soon
enabled 10 use his knife and fork at the
table. He has recovered his strength 10
such an extent that he is able 20 chop wood,
shock corn and do his regular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
walk 10 Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able TO lift up fifty two
pound weight with one hand and says no
does not know what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have done for others, but knows that
they have done a great work for him.
He was In town last Monday, court day,
and was loud In his praises OF the medicine
that had given him 80 great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took 10 homo with
him. Mr.. McInturff Is willing 10 mako
aflldavit TO these facts.
The proprictors OF DR. Williams Pink pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing oil
forms Of weakness arising from watery
condition OF the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes OF almost every III 10
which flesh Is heir. Tho pills are also
specific FOR the troubles peculiar 10 females,
such as suppressions, all forms OF weak
ness, chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, etc, and In the case OF men will give
speedy relief and effect a permanent cure In
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excuses OF whatever nature They
are entirely harmless and can be given 10
weak and sickly children with the greatest
good and without the slightestdanger. Pink
pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
post paid on receipt OF price, go cents box,
or six boxes for S2.50-they are never sold
In bulk or by the 1907 by addressing DIR.

of the roller tsee Fig. 2),care being
taken that the roller shall lie horizon
tai and remain SO during the ascent.
The roller Is made of hard wood,
about inches in diameter and "a
inches long, from shoulder 10 shoulder.
Six inches additional at each end are
cut down 90 diameter OF 2A inches
next the beveled shoulder, while the
outer end is nearly 3 inches in diam
eter. The pins for the ropes are s
inches apart, and between these pins
two holes are bored through the roller
at right angles 10 each other and
few inches apart, in which handspikes
are used.
When the animal has been killed and
partially skinned, the tripod is set up
over It, the center pole 10 the rear, and
the pair OF other poles forward. This
disposition of the poles places them
least in the way of the operators. The
pointed ends of the roller are inserted
under the large tendon just above the
hook joint, and these being sloped in
ward, tho carcass cannot slip off even
when sawed asunder The ropes are
hung on the forward side OF the roller,
and the bandspilSes may be used In
that direction. The animal is raised
few feet, and held in this position by
stick laid across the ropes tsee Fig. u,
and the dressing proceeds. The disad-
vantage Is that the roller soon passes
out OF reach from the ground, but this
is met from below by the use Of a box
or barrel. on which the operator stands
while using the spikes. When fully
dressed, the fore quarters may be cut
away singly The headquarters are
lowered within easy reach and both

This grass will do well on any kind

moist, hut not wet, clayey soil. On
such soil II grows with great luxu-
rance, and has deep green color not
seen on lighter and dryer land. IL
grows fully Ave feet tall on such land.
and makes very good hay, but lighter
than tin othy. IL ripens month be-
fore tim thy, and should not be sown
with thin grass. IL is In n good condi-
ton for cutting when the small red

together But the orchard grass will
continue for . great many years, and

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

A SMOOTHING harrow run over the
wheat field early in spring will benefit
the crop The harrow will not injure
the young plants.
Hoes ere inbred more than any other
animals on the farm. Many diseases OF
swine are caused by a lack of vigor, due
30 inbreeding
Now THAT the tools must be kept in
order the grindstone will be found OF
valuable service. A grindstone pays for
itself every year.
GREEN peas may be planted just as
soon as the ground permits. They are
hardy aud thrive best when planted
early in the season.
Do you raise calves from your best
cows only? II your best cows make $40
a year more than your poorest cows
this is 5 per cent interest on $500.
Now Is the time 10 make the hotbed
and get ready for the early plants.
Labor can be given such matters now
with less cost than 10 delay until next
month.
THE farmer who buys bran, mid
dlings and linseed meal for his cows
will make large profit ON the in
creased value of his manure and save

POINTS OF A HORSE.
The Eye and the Head Usually show this
Animals Nature.

Animals Nature.
Henry Childs Merwin has a paper In
the March Century on THE Horse
Market" from which the following Is
extracted:
And this brings us TO consider what
are the marks Of a good, serviceable
horse, such as most people want 10 buy.
The chief points are the eye and head;
for, whether on the score of safety or
of pleasure in ownership, the essential
thing Is 70 have a horse that Is intelli-
gent and gentle, or one that is intelli-
gent and vicious, rather than stupid.
for stupid horses are the most danger
GUS of all. Every horse shows his char
acter Ia his head, and chiefly In the
eye. just as certainly as a man shows
his character in his face; although, as
in the case Of men, IL Is not always
easy TO read what Is written IN the
equine features. But as 20 horses OF
positive character, positively good or
positively bad, there need be no mis-
take. / once bought a mare of a deal
err. for a woman's use, without even
taking her out of the stable. She
seemed 20 be sound, and l felt sure
from her eye thas she was unusually
gentle and safe, and so she proved 10
be. On the other hand. out of six or
eight horses shown TO me at sale sta
BILE on another occasion, rejected one
the best In the lot otherwise-bc-
cause his eye. though not absolutely
bad, was such as 10 arouse suspicion;
and the ownOr afterward admitted 10
me that the animal was different from
the rest in being little mean"
/ mention these instances 60 show
that any person of average intelligence
can learn, by taking pains, 70 read the
equine character Horse-de0lers and
trainers seldom make a study OF this
matter, because they do not care about
II. What you should look for Is a
large. clear, luminous eye; what you
should distrust Is n small eye, "A pro-
truding eye, sunlSen eye, an eye that
shows the white, CHANGING backward,
which indicates bad temper; and above
all, CLASSY, tremulous eye, which in
dicates stupidity. 1t is hard 10 de-
scribe, but easily recognized. There
should be a considerable space between
the eyes. The ears and the carriage of
them arc hardly less significant Well
cut ears that move continually with a
general tendency 20 be priclxed forward
indicate good and lively disposition.
Large ears, II well shaped, are better
than very small or mouse ears. Lop
ears, coarse ears, ears planted either
very far apart or very close together,
are 20 DO viewed with great distrust.
Next in Importance TO the head come
the feet They should be OF medium
size, neither steep like a mules, nor
dat, but sloping at a medium angle.
The best feet are ''cup-shaped, that is,
SO formed that when you pick them up
they will hold water.
As TO the other points of horse. !
shall not attempt 70 go into details,
because fear that they would convey
information only 20 those who do not
need IT, But this may be said general
ly by way of advice: Avoid a long
backed or thin-waisted, still more
long-leggcd, horse. Look for n com
pact, rather low-standing beast. with
good head, good eyes and well-shaped
ears, and You cannot go far wrong.
