Pie came forward, and his hand,
which was closed, met the motorman's

the owner with 1t. The conductor saw
the collision and ran to help the motor
man, but Pie hit him so hard that he
hit the fare register at the back Of the
car and jostled four fares upon it..
Five police officers saw part of the
trouble and FASTENED up. The foremost

Pie exercise his four brothers in aero

The cause Of rheumatism II Tactic
acid In the blood. To this acid are due
the aches and pains, the swollen Joints,
the sharp. agonizing twinges. Rheu-
matism affects the limbs, arms, back
and hips, causing misery day and night;
stiffness of the joiuts, lameness. swell
lngs, agony. Rheumatism can be cured
only by purifying the blood. Do not
waste money and time on llniments or
other applications. Do not daily with
unknown medicines. Cure rheumatism
at once, surely, safely, promptly, per-
manently, by purifying the blood with
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Thousands of
cures Of this and other blood diseases
conclusively prove that Hoods Sarsap-
arilla has wonderful curative power.
The great merit of Hoods Sarsapar;lla
has given It the first place among medi-
cines. 1t Is the reason for Its wonder
full cures. 1t is the explanation of Its
enormous sales. Hoods Sarsaparilla
stands not only upon its record Of cures
In the past, though this Is unequalied
by any other medicine, but 1t Is to-day
curing thousands of cases Of catarrh,
rheumatism, scrofula, dyspepsia, and
many other blood diseases. 1t Is to-day
the medicine which the people take to
give them health, strength, pure blood

Lope de Vega, the famous Spanish
dramatist and poet, lived from 1866
to 1885. His literary work began
when he was about - years old. and
from that time until his death, n period
of sixty years, he poured forth an enor
nous quantity of plays, dramatic com
positions of all kinds, poems of every
character, breathing every spirit, from
the strictest asceticism to the most un
bridled license. Over 1,SO0 plays arc

Cut Feed for Horses.

All farmers use cut feed for horses
when at hard work, because there Is a
great saving In the labor needed to d.
gest cut feed. II mixed with some grain
meal and wet so that the meal can only
be got by eating the cut feed mixed
with 1t, the whole will be chewed suf-
ficiently to moisten 1t with saliva,
which is necessary to quicken diges-
ton. But this economy In feeding cut
feed Is also important when the horse
Is not working. If the cut feed Is corn
stalks, 1t should always be steamed
with very hot water, so as to soften
the cut ends of the stalks, which may
cause injury. This is the best, also, II
hay or straw Is cut, particularly wheat
or rye straw, which, being harder than
cut hay and less nutritious, is not likely
to be thoroughly chewed. The stomach
Of the horse needs slight irritation.
This Is the advantage which oats have
over other grains. Its hull helps the
grain to digest better, and this makes
the horse feel frisky and able to do his
best. 1t liz an old saying of farmers
that when an old horse begins to act
unusually coltish he has probably "got
an oat standing corner wise against
his stomach, and he jumps around so
as to get II out" 1t Is homely illustra-
ton, but may have truth in it.-Ameri-

water also to watering tank near by,

grindstone and the corn shelter, e, have

for use as a reservoir In very cold

the knowledge that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-

ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes Internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California

If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one

then one should have the best, and with
