None of the native students who were

declaration against Hugh Sheridan was
informed that the Sheridan boys at the
time OF the explosion of the toy bomb
were over half mile away from the
college. Eckman, who is a German

the native boys. fearing that their par

The United States consul at Managua
was refused permission to see the boys.
The United States legation made an
effort in their behalf, ard both boys
were eventually released from prison,
and requested to appear before a GRIM
inal judge the next day, the govern
ment evidently hoping that they would
run away and go to their fathers es-
tate. They were on hand when the
court opened the following day, how
ever. and the Judge having no testi-
mony against them took the declara
ton Of a physician that the accused
were under the age of manhood and
dismissed them on the nominal promise
that they would appear in courtswhen
summoned.

RHEUMATISM.
Torture and Agony are its Attendants, In
Addition to this, the Fear of
Sudden Death.

Rheumatism, as is we'll known, is caused by
acids existing in the blood, due to poisonous
Secretions from some of the great life centres
of the body; which, if not counteracted and
carried off increases from day to day, causing
the sufferer endless pain, until the disease
finally reaches the heart, where, by a sudden
contraction the end is suddenly reached. The
cure for this terrible ~aff1iction is in every
instance Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. 1t acts
directly on the stomach liver and kidneys,
promoting perfect action of these organs. In
addition it PARTIES the blood, which thus
performs its natural function of nourishing the
body. One of many instances where it has
been a benefit is the case of Mrs. Jennie Cham
bers, of Ridgway, California, who writes: ~
was a great sufferer from Rheumatism and
Dropsy. l had been afflicted for years, and
tried all our local doctors and many medicines,
but could get no relief. My limbs were so
badly swollen l could not stand. l commenced
using the Kickapoo Indian Remedies, and in
seven days the pains were all gone. The
Dropsy was cured, and ! thank the good Lord
for the day l commenced using Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa. You may use my name if you
wish. Everyone in this county knows me-"
Sufferers everywhere should follow Mrs.
Chambers example. Use Kickapoo Indian
Oil for external application; it relieves the
local pain, while the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa
is removing the cause of the trouble from the
system. The Kickapoo Indian Remedies are
absolutely harmless, and MY be obtained at

The Golden Rule.

Marion is troubled about carrying
out the precepts contained in the Gold
en- Rule. She says that if we do into
one as we would be done by, we may
be obliged to do unto others as we
would not be done by. Answer: The
provisions of the Golden Rule cannot
always be carried out literally. Indeed.
they are not to be taken in that way.
In a general sense we should do as we
would be done by, but this doing
should be guided by our good sense.
We could not apply the same rule to
our treatment of a friend and associate
that we apply to the treatment of a.
criminal or a pauper. There is an old
precept that is we'll worth remember
ing, which is, BE just to all, but be
kind only to your own kind" Justice
and mercy in equal measure are quite
as safe as the Golden Rule. If all of
the people with whom we come in con-
tact were of our own sort we could an
ply the words do unto others as YOU
would have them do unto you;" but as
society is now constituted it Is neither
judicious nor safe to do so. Our good
nature would be too often imposed
upon, and our forbearance would be
overtaxed. Really conscientious per-
sons often make themselves very I'M
happy because they cannot live up to
some of these precepts. They must
learn that such things are not always
to be looked at in a literal sense, but
taken with due regard for the exist,
ing circumstances.

Entertaining at Light Cost.

Tell the most managing housekeeper
of your acquaintance that evening re-
ceptions to about a score of people may
be given at a cost not to exceed S.
each and you will probably be told that
YOU knowledge of domestic affairs is
as yet in the chrysalis stage. Yet in
making your statement you would be
strictly within the limits of veracity.
These be hard times, and most of us
must of necessity economize, but it by
no means follows that we must give
up seeing friends and entertaining
them. Happily that is not at all neces-
sary, for entertaining can be kept
up on much less money than many i'm
agine. This has been demonstrated
by a manager, who actually gave a
series Of evening receptions all through
Lent, asking about twenty or thirty
people to each one, and the entire ex-
pense did not exceed $25. This sounds
impossible, but it can be done. In
the first place, ask certain people to
meet certain people; don't give out in
vitations Unfortunately, for the plea
sure Of social intercourse depends upon
~congeniality. 1t is a mistaken idea to
suppose that people don't care whom
they meet. Many who are more fond
of conversation than they are of eat
ing land there are some such) want to
talk to congenial people. Clever people
should be invited to meet each other,
musicians to meet musicians, friends
and artists to meet artists. The art
OF entertaining is very much like the

Handling and Feeding Fodder.

Corn fodder is taking such a promi-
hent place among our rough feeds that
the greatest effort should be put forth
IN trying to discover and bring into
general use the best ways of handling
and most economical methods of feed
ing IL. A few years ago but little fod-
DER was handled, but since the hay
crop has become so uncertain almost
every farmer has learned. perhaps by
Using d small amount at first, and in
creasing, that 1t is one of the best of
the rough feeds for horses, cattle and
sheep. 1t has been accurately deter
mined by experimenters that the food
Vai"e OF an acre of corn fodder If
properiy handled Is as great as that of
an acre OF hay. A thing to be won
dered at is the careless way with
which many farmers handle and feed
II. II the user of fodder realized what
Is lost by allowing it to stand in the
neld Tor half the winter or more or by
haullng 1t to the barn and stacking 1t
poorly, he would certainly change his
methods and use some of the care that
is exercised in the handling of hay.
some contend that by making large
shocks fodder can remain without and
suffer but little, however in the largest
OF standing shocks there is a total loss
OF a considerable amount, while the
greater part of the shock is injured.
Fallen shocks often become wet and
rotten, wholly uniting them for feed.
Fodder should be hauled as soon after
1T is dry as possible and either put un-
der cover or stacked without. Use of
the shredder or threshing machine
makes cover very necessary, while
whole fodder can be stacked and fed
with but little loss. A good way to do
II a little barn room can be had, is to
make small stacks and when one is
opened move it into the barn n use
from there as needed. Through the
northern part Of the state thresh1ng
machines are quite generally used in
preparing fodder for feed. The I'M
husked shocks are run through the ma
chine, which shreds the fodder in good
shape, shells the corn and cleans 1t
fairly well-not usually enough for
selling, but so there is no objection to
it for feed. We find this a very good
method of preparing shocked corn for
feed. In building a stack of whole
fodder see that in placing the bundles
the middle is kept high enough to in
sure the stocks having a good pitch
after the stack has settled. In stack
ing shredded fodder the same rule OF
keeping the middle full should be OBJ
served, and as an extra ~precaution, the
top of the stack should be well COW
cred with wild hay or straw. Fodder,
either shredded or whole, that is used
outside of the barn, should be fed in
racks and never scattered about on the
ground, as there is not only much
trampled and left untouched. but the
food value Of a great deal of that eaten
Is impaired. A horse or cow will not
derive the same good from fodder that
is wet and covered with dirt as it will
from clean dry feed. A rack that is
easily and cheaply built and one that
answers the purpose very well, is
made by driving posts about two feet
and a half from the fence or side Of
the shed and boiling poles to them.

Investing Money.

tie money, and asks how best to invest
it. He has sixty dollars on hand, and
would like to make good use of it. An
swer: Why not put it in some good
savings bank? Or buy a government
bond with it. Perhaps the savings bank
would be better, as you could continu-
ally add to it, and after a while have
enough to buy a lot in some pretty
suburb. 1t is almost always safe to
buy real estate. 1t can neither run
away, die nor burn up. It is easier to
save when one has a little start, and
such economies should always be en-
c~ouraged.

Butterfly Sleeves Coming In.

The sleeve of the coming season will
be the butterfly. 1t fits on the arm to
the shoulder and there flares into a
pair of pretty wing effects, caught to-
gether right on the top of the shoulder
as the loops of a ribbon bow are
caught by the cross piece of the bow
This sleeve adapts itself to all sorts of
materials; in gauze over the bare arm
nothing could be lovelier, the lines of
the arm being followed in every curve,
and the beauty of the shoulder being
only set off by the pretty butterfly
fullness. In winter material the sleeve
is wrinkled to the desired degree of
fullness and seems to be held in place
by a band of fur wound from wrist to
shoulder, where it combines with the
butterfly effect. The entirely tight
sleeve of coat pattern has not been ac-
cepted, and even the tailor-made gown
has some relief at the shoulder. For

silk, quilted. 1t is plain and full, and
is embroidered down the front in pink

silk frogs across the front, and is tied
with a blue silk cord and tassle. The
silk, which is inexpensive, can be
quilted at home and the frogs crocheted
of blue silk. These gowns are greatly
in demand, as they are so easy to slip

weight. They are especially desirable
for invalids, as they are so comfortable

For I'm old, etc.
C. l.. Catlin.

Not every woman can follow Queen
Natalie's method of keeping her neck
the envy of nearly every woman in
Europe, but her majesty's plan will
furnish a hint which may easily be ap-
piled by all. Natalie is regarded as
the most beautiful queen in Europe,
and her greatest beauty is her neck.
The world has just been let into the
secret of the method which has largely
enabled her to develop this charming
feature. The queen takes frequent
and regular exercise with a heavy
pitcher on her head. The result of
this is to straighten and strengthen
the neck and to give it the form which
the highest standard of female beauty
requires. Not only does the exercise
add to present beauty, but it arrests
the ravages which time makes
quickly in the female neck than in any
other place.
grounds of the queens residence, near
Belgrade, at about s o'clock in the
morning, you would see her majesty
taking a brisk, walk with her pitcher
on her shapely head. She is accom-
panied by a dame d'honneur, who is
not herself an expert in the art of
pitcher carrying. Queen Natalie has
very abundant black hair and a rich
coloring. She is a very finely devel-
oped woman. Her figure is very strong
and erect and her carriage is perfect,
for her favorite exercise tends to de-
velop the latter quality as well as to
beautify the neck and shoulders. These
are adorable and beyond all criticism.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-05-13

She takes care to dress in a way to
show these to the best advantage.
From chin to bust Queen Natalie's
flesh has the irmness of marble, al
though, unlike that substance, it is full
Of life and blood. Her head is placed
on her shoulders after the manner of
that of the Venus of Milo. There are
no protruding bones, no wrinkles, no
hollows, neither is there any super1u-
GUS fairness. The whole is a beautiful
poem of form.

One of the cleverest business women
in town lays it down as a rule to be
carefully observed that while women
OF leisure may put silk lining in their
frocks it's musical rustic is out of place
in a business woman's skirt. 1.-THE silk
lining says this woman, sis the divid-
ing line between the woman at home
and the woman in business. The swish
and %f1utter, as you name it, have no
place about the business office. In fact.
the tailor-made gown and the fedora
hat form the armor of a business
her the new woman, if you will; she
is ready to meet the world on it's own
ground, and will not feel that she is
misunderstood. The who rus
ties into a business office filling the air
with the sounds of silken futter is
more often looked upon by the men
she encounters as a diversion. If they
have no interest in diversion at that
particular moment they get rid of her
and bow her out as soon as possible.
If she is dressed too we'll the chance is
that they regard her as too prosperous
for earnest work. If she is shabby or
carelessly attired, which is about the
same thing, she is branded as ineffi-
Gent or she wouldn't be in such appar-
emily reduced circumstances. The
tailor-made suit, therefore, is the hap
ply medium. If she has good gloves
and good shoes, well-itting garments
and no silk lining, she is equipped to
meet the world. Silk Innings, silk pet
ticoats and ostrich plumes all initiate
against the success of a woman in the
business world"
