This paper recently received information
that the en-year-old daughter of Nh. NJ.
Rybolt, of Huntsville, Ind, had been
cured of severe illness. The case seemed
more than an ordinary one, AMI conse-
quently special representative was sent
to investigate.
The Rybolts are well-to-do farmers liv-
ing about two miles southwest of Harris
vile. When the reporter called Mr.. and
Mrs. Ryboldt and their daughter in ques-
ton, Louise, were at home, also the other
had been going to school for four years, and
was formerly in very good health, but for
the past year or more she has been i'll.
A year ago the present winter it was
noticed that she was breaking down in
health. For a time the cause could
not be ascertained, but it was finally de-
cided that it was from over-study. 1t has
always been the ambition of Louise to
educate herself as soon as possible. for
she was anxious to graduate from the
common branches early, and to enter a
college of music, which her parents prom
ised she could do as soon as she should
finish the common branches.
How many children by diligent study to
achieve their ambitions are injuring their
health. 1t was so in this case. The child
studied hard all day and otter far into
the night, and had won the respect and
admiration of her teacher and of all the
school by her aptness and rapid learning.
For some time Louise experienced an
indisposition which she would not make
known to her pan ents, for fear they
would have her remain from school, Her
headache soon became uncomfortable, and
was noticed by her teacher. She had by
this time grown pale and weak.
One day she became suddenly sick at
school, and was taken home.
For several weeks she suffered from a
fever, and the physicians could not rally
her. A neighbor urged them TO try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
which they finally did with splendid re-

"If that isn't the strangest agreement

garet, who had come in unexpectedly
for lunch. How did it ever come
about?"
"Oo, we've had it for month or
more, now, and the box is nearly full

cents just poured in, but now father

But" said Aunt Margaret, you
haven't told me why you began to have
a grumble-box."
"Ill tell you." said Mrs. Porter.
Don't you remember some of the times
you have been here to lunch or dinner
when everything was wrong on the
table? The soup was either too hot or
too cold, the beef was overdone, the
vegetables either too salt or not salt
enough, the bread was dry, or the toast
was burnt; sometimes we hadn't even
the right kind of dessert. If there was
pie, every one longed for custard or
cream"
Aunt Margaret smiled.

other peoples houses, too"

don't you remember too. the little bless

every mouthful."
"You didn't, mother; you never did.
1t was the rest of us"
"Well," continued Mrs. Porter, lone
beautiful Sunday morning we all went
church, and heard an unusually good
sermon. Then we came home and sat
down to very good dinner; but it was
worse than ever, and before we left the
table father stopped US, and said: 1--WE

Tom and | were up in our den working
like beavers at our lessons, when. all OF
a sudden we heard tremendous racket
on the roof, and Tom, wanting to see
what was going on, rushed to the scut-
tle-hole. But he came down good deal
quicker than he went up, and looked as
scared as il he had seen ghost.

said. as wild as loon himself. All l
could see were two big balls OF fire. but
it yelled like hyena.'
Just then there came another yell.

we happened to remember that that
artist fellow at the end of the row had q
tiger and two or three bears that he was

but to Kitty the thought of that

mare. More than once she walked up
with a start, thinking that she heard
the frightful yell that Bob had de.
scribed, and she could not go out to
walk without giving good look the
length of the street to make sure that
there we're no tigers roaming at large.
Not long after this she went to visit
an aunt in neighboring city. The
place was new to her. and one day her
uncle volunteered to show her some
of the public buildings. He was prim
and precise sort of a man, and Kitty
stood little in awe of him; but he
knew all about the city and Kitty, who
was rather fond Of acquiring informa
ton, listened with interest to all that he
had to say.
But suddenly. while he was expatia-
ting on the fine proportions of an eques-
tran statue in one of the parks. an un
earthly sound rent the air-a sound SO
blood-curdling and seemingly SO close
at hand that Kitty, forgetting that her
uncle was there to protect her, took to
her heels and stopped for nothing until
she reached her aunt's door. She was
white and breathless, and before she
had succeeded in making her aunt I'M
derstand the cause of her fright, her
uncle walked in.
"a pretty chase you have given me-,

wiped his forehead. II thought you
were too much of lady to go tearing

what did you think it was that you ran

dignity. Nothing but tiger, am sure,
could have made that dreadful no.ss."

BUTTER GOES ABROAD.
First Experimental Shipment from
This Country to England
Government to Try to Gain Some Of
the Trade Now Almost En-.
tfrely Controlled by
Denmark.

The first experimental expectation
of butter from this country was made
the other day from New York city,
when the government, through an
agent sent by the agricultural, depart
ment. shipped three-quarters of ton
of selected butter for sale in Europe.
The result of this experiment is of
great importance to the agricultural
interests, as it is the first step in the
effort of this administration to extend
materially the market for American
butter and gain some of the trade, with
Great Britain in particular which Den
mark practically controls with con-
siderable profit. An incidental object
is to determine what improvements are
needed in transportation facilities
Some butter is now being sent abroad
by private firms, but it is alleged to
be of inferior grades. Unsatisfactory
storage in crossing the ocean and care
lessness in leaving the shipments on
uncovered docks at Southampton be-
fore being loaded into freight cars,
thus making the butter soft, have fur
ther deteriorated its value in the Eng
lish market. The butter sent the other
day comes from the Iowa agricultural
college and creamery at Windsor, Vt.
Subsequent shipments, which will be
made during the summer at intervals,
will be of butter from other sections.
To build up a>high standard, only the
best grades will be shipped and the
butter will be sold at the prevailing
market prices. The present shipment
goes among the shipped stores OF the
steamer St. Paul and viii be kept at
lew temperature. The cargo is made
up of packages of different sizes, to
determine which is most satisfactory.
A department agent will meet the boat
at Southampton and take proper care
of the product and attend to its sale.
The appointment of butter agents by
the department. at New York and
Southampton to take care Of these in
terests is possible.

THE AMERICAN RACE.
Expedition to Study It's Early His
tory as Related to Old World.
Prof. Frank Boas, Noted ScseAtfst
to Explore AnoDg the Inhabitants
Of the Coasts Of North Pc
ciAO Ocean.

An exploring party under the lead
ership OF Prof. Frank Boaz, the noted
scientist and explorer Of the American
Museum of Natural History, says the
New York World, is about to undertake
an extensive, systematic exploration
among the inhabitants Of the coasts OF
the North Pacific ocean between the
Amoor river in Asia and the Columbia
river in America.
The funds for this important under
taking have been generously provided
by Morris Z. Jesup, the president OF the
museum, who has done so much al
ready for the advancement of science
and for furthering the work OF the
American Museum Of Natural History
of New York city. The expedition viii
be costly one.
Mr.. Jesup has pledged himself to give
100000 for the development of the
scheme. In 1895 he fitted out the Peary
relief expedition, which extended need
ed assistance to Lieut.. Peary, and thus
resulted in important additions to our
knowledge Of northern Greenland and
invaluable contributions to the mu-
scum.
The explorations ON the coasts of the
North Pacific ocean are intended TO
cover q period of six years, during
which time the Investigations are to be
carried On in both Asia and America.
Prof. Boaz said: "fhere are few prob
lens that are of greater Importance to
our knowledge Of the early history of
the American race than its relations
to the races of tho old world. It has
never before been taken up in sys-
tematic manner. Some writer's main
tain that American culture has grown
up spontaneously; others assert recog-
milton of traces of Asiatic culture in
America.
"The field Of research Is a vast one,
and it is expected that the enterprise
will lead to results which will clear up
many obscure points regarding the
early history Of the American race"

corporation, but he gets left when he
tries to dictate what his domestic serv-
