IRONY OF FATE.
It Pursues Two Eninently Respectable
 Ladies Who Could Not Agree.

~ Aursues TWO Enlnently Respectable
 Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
 Not long ago there were two ladies stopping at the same boarding house. They were single ladies, be it said, and both highly respectable. But for some reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they couldn't get along," and matters went between them from bad to worse till they quit speaking"
 They both got tired, of course, living and finally both determined to move. Arrangements were made, and, as luck would have it, both moved the same day. Lady No. loaded up her house. hold goods in the morning, and in the afternoon a dray pulled up and car ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and other effects of lady No. 3.
 Lady No. 1 was just composing her self to view the surroundings of her new lodging place, when wagon stopped at the front door and began to unload collection of articles unmis- takably feminine. She sized up the trunk and went downstairs, filled with a horrible suspicion, to interview the landlady.
 Her suspicious were true. They had moved into the same house.
 There is no more to the story. Of course, they should have made up their differences and lived in peace and char ity ever after. But they did not. Lady No. never got her trunk inside of the house.

ABOUT BITTER MILK. N
Usually Caused by Iu-Health and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.


 Condition of the Blood.
 Several readers have written com plaining that the milk of their cows is bitter after standing few hours or single day and that the feed used is of the best, clean and wholesome. Some of the COWS have been in but few months others will be fresh within three months.
 Cows that have been in but few months, are properly fed, have pure water, free access to all the salt they wish and give milk that is bitter with out being tainted by contact with out side surroundings, may be in ill-health which affects the condition of the blood.
 The best remedy for this trouble if produced by the blood being out of con- dition is to give pound of sulphate of soda (glauber salts) or of sulphate of magnesia (epsom salts), dissolved in warm water, by means of common drenching horn or long-necked bottle; and after this has operated, daily dose of one ounce of hyposulphite of soda may be given with good results, for two weeks.
 This latter is readily taken, by most cows, when powdered and sprinkled over mess of scalded bran or in other feed.-Western Rural BY,

HIS LEG IS PULLED.
That Is How Southern Congressman
 Regards His Lot.

Regards His Lot.
 Some people may think that a con- gressman saves pile of money out of his salary" said a well-known southern congressman, who was talking to a Washington Star reporter on the vicis- situdes of running for office, and es- pecially for congress, ''but man has to be a small walking bank to accommo- date the large number of his friends and supporters who need a little money for some urgent matter. In my state we have to make campaigns and appear before the people at meetings. We'll, I have never attended a meeting but that I did not have some kind of subscrip- tion poked into my face. Somebody wants something for church and for missionary purposes or for helping some fellow who has been burned out.
 "You can't avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest sum. Then about the time you think you are through with having your leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: How do, gineral? had ter quit my work ter come out and hear you terday, and l thunk yer mout giv' me dollar While you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the dollar.
 "When you leave the meeting you are out anywhere from $2o to $50. These are just few instances of what candi- date has to spend money for. After he gets through thecampaign and is elected he has to furnish every dead beat from his district who should happen to come to Washington with money.

 Prescott climate during the summer rs delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep.
