Chicago's Wonderful Growth.

In the seventeenth century the present
site of Chicago was a swamp, which fur
traders and missionaries found fatally
miasmatic About 1900 government
engineer, viewing that rank morass
traversed by sluggish stream, pro-
nounced it the only spot on Lake Michi-
gan where city could not be built. In
1904 Fort Dearborn was erected here to
counteract British influence. In 1919 the
fort was demolished by Indians, but in
1916 rebuilt, aud it continued standing
till 1871. Around the little fort in 1910
were settled $500 people. The number
was 80, 900 in 1850; 100000 in 1850,
800, 900 in 1870. In 1880 the community
embraced SOB, 1876 souls; in 1890 it had
1,O99,s5O. In 1855 the indomitable city
illustrated her spirit by pulling herself
bodily out Of her natal swamp, lifting
churches, blocks and houses from 8 to 10
feet, without pause in general business.

Russia's Plague of Rodents.

Russia has suffered from a genuine
plague of rats and mice, and the story
is attractively told by United States
Consul Heenan at Odessa, in report to
the state department. The vermin first
appeared in southern Russia in the au-
tumn of 1898, and they increased in
number with marvellous rapidity, ow-
ing to the heavy grain harvests leaving
much unthrashed grain, and in the mild
weather, In addition to the common
house and field mouse, another and new
variety appeared, having a long. sharp
nose. These mice overran every place,
and they moved in vast numbers like
armies, and in instances did not hesl-
tate to attack men and animals. While
the rats were not so numerous as the
mice, they were more destructive, eat.

work, and even running entire build

the plague was finally terminated in
1894 by resort to bacterioloey, when the

ton Of q few rodents with contagious
disease germs.-Washington Post.

Fellow Soldiers of Company K, 18th

Fellow Soldiers of Company K, 18th
S. G.. V:
Our late Captain, Jeremiah Wise,
is dead and his remains are laying
in the cemetery at New Hope church.
I would ask my brother soldiers Of
Captain Meetze's company to con
tribute small mite to buy a monu-
ment to mark his grave. I think
there are about forty of US that are
alive, and We can get a nice monu-
ment for about thirty seven dollars.
Captain Jeremiah Wise was brave
officer and a kind, Christian gentle
man, and I hope all the veterans OF
Co. K. will give Sl.0O apiece for this
purpose, as his widow is not able to
pay for monument, and if she was,
I think it is our duty to do it and l
hope every member will put this
undertaking in motion. I will ask
Mr.. Preston George and Rev. Ar
thur Taylor to see all the soldiers
about the Court House and vicinity,
and I will do all l can in this part Of
the county to raise the money to
buy the monument to mark lis last
resting place. J. ?. HOW'LL:

back and was just as sick as she
could be. To add to all neuralgia
set in, and the poor child was in mis-
cry. She is naturally of nervous
temperament and she suffered most
awfully. Even after she recovered
the neuralgia did not leave her.
Stormy days or days that were damp
or preceded a storm, she could not
go out at all. She was pale and thin,
and had no appetite.

me about the Pink Pills, but I got
some for her and they cured he right
up. She has nice color in her face.

They Were Lovers.

Of the deep attachment which existed
between the late Prince Henry of Bat
tenberg and Princess Beatrice it is al
most unnecessary to speak, so notorious
was it. They both carried their love for
each ether on their sleeves. In this con-
nection an anecdote is related: Last year
Princess Beatrice had her portrait done
by a we'll known lady pastelist, who,
while thorough artist, knows how to
combine good likeness with pretty
picture. One morning when the portrait
was nearly finished Prince Henry hap
pened to enter the studio. After min
ute examination, the prince remarked t:
"But you have not made my wife stout
enough. I am fond Of my stout frau,
since it shows she is happy" The por-
trait was altered. d.-London Tit-Bits.

The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be de-
rived from good medicine, is early
in the year. This is the season when
the tired body, weakened organs and
nervous system yearn for building
up medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring
weather and, in fact, delay giving
attention to their physical condition
so long that a long siege Of sickness
is inevitable. To rid the system of
the impurities accumulated during
the winter season, to purify the blood
and to invigorate the whole system,
there is nothing equal to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Don't put it off, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla now. 1t will do
you good. Read the testimonials
published in behalf of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, all from reliable, grateful
people. They tell the story. 20

Men and women are but older
children and enjoy receiving
gifts quite as much as the little
tots. Some mothers and wives
enjoy baubles; others of a more
useful turn of mind appreciate
something for the table or the
home generally. We have heard
of ladies who hung up their
stocking, expecting to find a box
of bon bons in it on awakening,
but instead were gratified to
find set of French China. We
do not advise this, because, un-
less it is especially strong, the
stocking is apt to be injured.
We received ex-Miowera an
invoice of the finest Royal Wor-
cester ware ever brought to this
country. The cases will be open
on Monday and the goods ready
for your inspection.
On the S. G.. Wilder, almost
due, we have $4,000 worth of
American cut glass, suitable for
everyday use, and a new assert
ment of Onyx tables and piano
lamps combined. Also five
o'clock teas and chatting dishes
in new designs. And on the
Oath via Sydney. we will have
an invoice of French China in
three new designs. Also a num-
Der of pieces Of statuary.
We are ready for Christmas.
