Every well regulated household has q
medicine closet. This does not mean that
a whole cupboard out Of the sennt supply
Of the average Hat must be given over to
medicine bottles and plasters.
There arc on salo at all furnishing stores
and at most of the dry goods shops medi-
cine cabinets, varying in size and in make,
but all Of them falling within tho average
housekeepor's means. One Of those should
be fastened out of reach Of the children in
the mothers room.
Tho properly equipped medicine cabinet
is at least half closed and locked. In this
compartment the poisons which are house
hold remedies should be kept. Ammonia
and alcohol belong to this class as we'll as
lnudanum and arnica. Salyes, lotions and
the like mny DO Kept on tho unguardcd
shelf compartment
Antdotos for poisons, liniments for
stings, cuts and bruises, plastors and
plenty Of material for bandagos SHOULD be
kept in tho closet. Mustard, ready TO mako
a plaster. should DO there. Witch hazel, for
sores and burns, should not be forgotten,
nor tho helpful, simple soda, nor potash
for gargling. 1t Is an excellent idea TO
have tackled TO tho door Of tho cabinet q

dies to give In emergencies. ExohanaaN

One of the noatest inventions that have
been made recently is the ono planned by
F. V. Simms. Mr.. Simlns was greatly in
terested in the Jail delivery and immedi-
ately after tho prisoners escaped he set to
work to devise plan to prevent any sim
liar occurrence. Mr.. Simms proposes to
surround each cell by an alright compart-
ment. This will be flllnd with carbon d.
oxide under a pressure much higher than
that of air. In each compartment there
will be a small retort containing Jumps
of marble, covered by diluted sulphuric
acid. This will fill the tank with gas. In
another part of the compartment a small
rubber balloon, partly filled with air or
other gas, is held in place by a wire frame.
Fastened to the top of tho balloon is
thin metal plate connected to an electric
wiro Directly over the plato is the point
of screw, to which the other wire is fas-
toned. This screw is turned until it al
most touches the plate and the wires are
connected with bell and a battery.
When a prisoner once bores a hole
through tho wall of his cell, the carbon
dioxide fllls the room and no is asphyxiat-
cd. In tho meantime, tho pressure being
reduced in the compartment, the balloon
will expand and the plate will come in
contact with a screw. When the circuit is
closed the bell will ring and arouse the
turnkeys. Mr.. Simms did not explain
about ventilation, and this seems to be the
chief drawback to the plan. 1t would be a
simple matter for the prisoner to open his
windows and allow the gas to escape

Tho Rivalry In Former Governors.

Several newspapers arc pointing to the
number Of ex-governors of their respective
states as evidence Of health giving climate.
So far tho New Orleans Daily tom has
carried off tho palm for Louisiana. Tho
Item shows that of tho six men who have
held the guboFnatorial Office in Louisiana
during tho last % years only ono is dead.
Wait until you hear from Nebraska.
OF tho nino men who have held the
gubernatorial Office during tho last %
years only ono is dead, and he was tho first
governor of Nebraska as q state. WO refer
to David Butler. All tho other eight gov
errors arc yet citizens Of Nebraska. All Of
which indicates that men not only live in
Nebraska, but they enjoy life and keep ON
living in Nebraska.
Nebraska's fourth governor is in such
good health that no is being mentioned as
n possible United States senator for the
term beginning three years hence. Ne
braska's fifth governor is mentioned as a
candidate for congress at the coming cleo
ton and its sixth governor is engaged &C
lively in caring for the political interests OF
William Mckinley in this state.
J. Sterling Morton acted as governor OF
Nebraska territory for nearly three months
in 1876 years ago-and he is now the
most talkative member Of the cabinet.
Nobraskas war governor, Alvin Saun-
ders, is living today. He was governor Of
the territory from SCI and was reappOint-
ed in 1865-the signing of his commission
being one of the last acts Of President Lin
coins life.

Nebraska in tho senate two are dead.

Is Still TantaIizing Cummings.
The persistency Of Howard G. Cum
mings has Nc equal in Waldo county, Me.
He lives at tho upper end of Blanket lane,
q narrow, winding road that stops on
knoll under two Pine trees. Beyond this Is
half a township Of unbroken forest, into
which Cummings IS in the habit Of going
for game.
Deer arc scarce in tho tract, but two
years ago last fall Cummings saw one-a
great horned buck with q black stripe
down his back-which was enough to ban
ish sleep for a week. The deer hunt start
cd in October 1898, and ended at the close
of open season, Dec. 81, at which time the
deer was left hiding in tho woods of Unity,
away over on the borders of Kcnnebeo
county, some 90 miles from where no was
found. Cummings had hardly hung up
his gun and started to cut his winters
frewood when he saw that striped buck
deer back among the clearings. As it was
against the law to shoot deer he waited for
open time to come around.
Meanwhile tho Maine legislature met
and amended tho game laws SO no deei
could be killed in Waldo county for ten
years. Cummings was so mad when he
read the now law that be took an oath to
stay away from the polls while tho act
was in force. Then lie concentrated his
cndeavors toward getting the striped deer.
In order to kill the buck legally Cum
mings knew he must do his shooting In
open time llld outside Of tho county. HIS

Nerves are weak, many people say,
and vet they do not seem TO know
that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can
not give proper sustenance - that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and
faithfully, and the rich, red blood,
which it makes, will soon feed the
nerves the elements of true strength
they require; they will cease their agi-
tation and will resume their proper
place ~ being under the control in
stead of controlling the brain and

first duty was TO drive tho deer beyond the
county line. The drive was started In Oc-
tober, 1894, and before December tho deer
was safely landed among the hills Of Dix
mont, PcnObscut county. Cummings
campcd Lcra two weeks and saw the door
three times. On two of thCso occasions tho
buck was far beyond range, and the other
time ho came along when Cummings gun
was not loaded. The next yOs.I tho deer
was back in Prospect among his old haunts,
and Cummings drove tho buck west in
stead Of north. In November, 1895, he had
follow al tho deer clear through Waldo
county and fe,t himself sure Of getting his
vonisOn in Nassalboro, which 10 in kenne-

through Fairfield, Benton and thcnC0 into

up in tho herds that oano down from

Cummings returned homo disguised and
nearly discouraged. He had Shot two deer
on his tramps, which arc all the law al
lows, but ho had tho striped deer still to
get, This spsing whom he was out gather
ing sap a mile back from his house he saw
the Same old deer back in tho old place.
He went home and read that new law
carefully. 1t provided fine of $40 for ey-
cry deer killed in Waldo county during the
next ten years, but there was nothing said
about deer that commit suicide. The heart
Of Cummings grew stout with a big re-
solve. Ho was off on the deer's trail the
next day, driving him east toward the
Penobscot river. II lao could force the
deer into tho river below Orphans island,
the buck would be overcome by cold before
no could swim Ia miles to tho Orland
shore. Tho deer hung around tho river
for nearly week, nibbling dead grass in
tho fields and nosing the seaweed on the
rocks.
by and by, choosing warm day when
there was littlo wind, lie plunged in and
began to swim across. Cummings fol-
lowed close behind in borrowed boat in
tending to head him OF and tucker him
out in tho water Tho boat was an old
water soaked punt, and tho deer proved to
be an excellent swimmer, and in spite of
Cummings hard pulling tho gamo reached
tho Orland beach ahead of him and started
for the woods.
Cummings Camo homo without saying
a swear word and began to clean up his
gun. The deer is in Hancock county,

and said he was ono Of gang that was
going to hold up train with a lot of

the chap to go ahead and holp the gang
get ready for the train, and that when 1t
was held up they would hear something
drop, and that he had better koepin safe
place or it might DO him along with the
others. Tho train left Frisco ono night
at o O'Clock, and l was informed that the
hOldup was to take place in q lonesome
spot about an hour out Of Frisco. l had
q carload of armed mon ready.
Gas wO struck the dangerous place 1
else but We meant business az Il bracod up
with q drink or two for whatever work we
might have. 1t camo at last with light
on tho track, where man stood swinging
lantern, and the train pulled up. As 1t
stopped there was vollcy of half dozen
shots poured into the train from the woods
near the track, which my mon responded
to on the spot, much TO my ohagrin, for l
had wanted tho robbers to board us, where
we could have them in good shooting pO-
sition. My mon were green, though, or at
least most of them were, and they were so
ratified by the volley that they forgot what
they were doing and banged away.
Nothing was left then but to give
chase, which we did for few hundred
yards through tho woods, but they got away
in the dark, and we found nothing except, |
as we came back to the train, my friend, |
the informor. Him We found lying in the |
gutter ON top of his lantern, scared half to |
death. We took him in, and as the train |
pulled out 1 explained his part in the /
affair, and the millionaires wero so pleased |
with his heroic conduct in saving them !
that they made up pony purse Of $1,000 |
and presented it to him ON the spot and |
offered him a railroad job where lao might
nave "a chance to lead a new life.
He took tho money and the job, and /
the next time 1 saw him he was in jail at |
Sacramento with bullet hole in him. Be /
faro no quit living, however, he told me |
with a laugh that tho hold up was fake
from start to finish and that his wife did |
the shooting from the woods with n re- i
volver and ran away as fast as she could.
They figured that the rich men would !
make up some sort Of purse, and If they
didn't get moro than 500 it would have
repaid them amply for all their expense
and trouble As for tho risk, there wasn't

York to look after the recruiting there.
We had a shipia the harbor, and we found

at Niagara, where wo had Hungarian
employed to slip recruits across the from

the legation ut Washington and the con-
suls at New York and ono or two other
places received their passports. What par
at New York had had nothing to do with
the matter.
But wo had elaborated far grandcr

81 notice by tho papers that somebody
in tho south part of the state wants to
know where blue grass FIRST started, said
Professor John Collett, ex-state geolOgist.
"A great many people contend that it was
first found in kentucky, but this is not
SO. Blue grass is II native OF tho Wabash
valley, in Indiana. 1t was found by Will
liam Henry Harrison's troops during that
solemn march to TippUcanOe in 1911.
Harrison gathered small army at Ohio
Falls and started north. At Nincennes
the gallant heroes realized that they could
not 60 200 miles up the Wabash without
feed for their horses. General Harrison
had two cribs of corn at Terre Hauto and
persuaded the men to go on. As they
came on with hungry horses and scant feed
they found the ground covered with blue
grass. Six miles west CT Newport, on the
Collett farm, was found bOuntiful supply
of blue grass. Some places in tho bottom
it was growing three feet high, and such
feed had never been heard CT by tho kon-
lucky soldiers.
AT State Limo City moro blue grass was
found, and from tbero to Tippecanoe the
whole limo of march was covered with blue
grass The seed was carried back to Ken
lucky and sOwn there, but they could not
make it thrive alono in the warm soil, and
it had to be sown with oats and rye. Mr..
Sandusky, the father of tho present family
of that name, told mo in an carly day that
no blue grass grew in Kentucky until after
it was imported from Indiana. Tom
Downing of Tcrro HGute was an ardent
admirer Of Henry Clay and once went to
visit him at his homo near Ashland, Ky.
After seeing tho fine farm well set in blue
grass Downing suggested that Mr.. Clay
let him have some Of tho seed to take back
to Indiana.
" Tom, don't make fool Of YOURSELF
said Clay. The grandsiro of kentucky
blue grass is growing around your house
and in the fence corners of your fields.
We got the seed from Terro Haute and the
middle Wabash, and aftor hard struggle
got it to grow here in its present luxuri-
