Talk about your dog stories, said
a prominent sporting man the other
day. Il saw something out at Cutoff
lake which beat anything ever heard
of, was out there hunting snipe,
and saw man riding around on horse
back, and in front OF him was circling
az Irish setter. AS the fellow did not
have any gun, my curiosity was
aroused to know what he was doing,
but supposed he was simply break
ing his dog In few minutes saw
him ride up to where the dog was on
dead stand, and the horseman pro-
ceeded to jab pole he was carrying
down into the ground, and, bringing
it up, took something off the end of it.
My curiosity was greater than ever,
and circling around came up with
the horseman and asked him what he
was doing.
Hunting frogs, was the reply
What is the dog doingr said |.
Hunting frogs, was the laconic
answer
9 You don't mean to tell me that
the dog will set the frogs, do your
81 don't mean anything else
"a few more questions and answers
brought out the fact that the dog bad
seen his master hunting around in the
grass for frogs and spearing them, and
had of his own accord taken up the
task of locating the green beauties.
He was thoroughly trained hunter
on birds, and he soon became very ex-
pert in locating frogs, so his owner
informed me, and my observations OF
his movements confirmed the state
ments Omaha Bee.

Live stock Points.

What the Silo does is to furnish a
juicy summer food to animals in win
ter.
When timothy is to be fed to young
animals that want to be pushed along
rapidly in growth, cut il in its FIRST
blossom. For torses it should be cut
a little later, but not so late as the
time Of the second blossom.
Silage is palatable and easily
digested and makes an excellent food,
not only for milk cows, but for fatten-
ing steers and other animals.
Hay or fodder that is allowed to
get too ripe before cutting loses a
fifth of its nourishment.
In spite of the hog disease that raw
aged some sections in 1896, there
were many more hogs marketed at
leading points than IN 1895, and their
weight averaged probably ten pounds
more per head The fact that the
price was somewhat lower than the
previous year seems only to have
made the buying more lively.
Colman's Rural World regards the
Poland China as the typical hog OF the
corn and grass belt. 1t declares that
when the Berkshire and the Poland
China are respectively raised for a few
generations in the belt indicated, they
assume type very nearly resembling
each other. Still breeders in the
central southern states and those
bordering on the gulf have generally
settled down into the conviction that
the Berkshire is the hog for them.

Don't think because you are sick
and nothing seems to give you relief
that you can't be cured.
There must be cure for you some
where.
If your doctor can't cure you, per-
haps he has mistaken the cause.
Anybody is liable to make mistake
sometimes.
One in three OF us suffer from indi-
gestion. and one out of three dyspep-
tics doesn't know it. That is, he
may know he is sick, but he blames
it to something else.
Indigestion is the cause of half Of
our dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made
from tonic medicinal roots and herbs,
is the most natural cure for indiges-
ton. 1t relieves the symptoms and
cures the disease gently, naturally,
efficiently, giving fresh life. strength
and health to sick dyspeptics.

White Gloves Aagin.

The color of gioves1 Is that a
problem2 One would hardly think so
since the tone of the whole costume is
usually supposed to make the decree
for the shade of gloves.
But there are nice questions affect.
ing the color OF gloves that cannot be
settled by glance at the gown and
hat, and these questions the arbiters
of fashion suffer much in trying to
answer satisfactorily. 1t has been
darby rumored that the dainty white
glove was to be tabooed. Nothing oil
the kind, white gloves will be worn
great deal this year.
Naught completes the diaphanous
summer toilet so well as white gloves
really white, Of course. Nothing
spoils summer costume so quickly
as dingy glove. But then it is so
easy to clean white gloves, and they
look so we'll when they are cleaned
that there is no excuse for the woman
who puts on dirty glove.
There is the dead white glove, the
cream, and the ivory glove. All these
are beautiful, and all are cleaned with
out difficulty.

TARIFF IN "No MANS LAND"
Probing Civil Service-As to Exam
ming Surgeons.

(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May President
Mckinley told delegation of G. A.
R. men from New York City, who
called to pressingly invite him there,
that he expected to attend the me-
mortal day exercises at West Point,
but would endeavor to return to New
York on the afternoon Of Monday,
the 3Ist inst. in time to also take
part in their exercises. On the 18th
inst, the President and bis Cabinet
will attend the dedication of the Wash
ington monument in Philadelphia.
Many Republican in both branches
of Congress are dissatisfied with por-
tons of the amended Dingley tariff
bill, last week reported to the Senate,
but they are not disposed to publicly
criticise the bill because they feel
confident that changes which will be
madewill remove most, if not all, OF
its Objectionable features. The bill is
to be taken up by the Senate on the
18th inst, and pushed through that
body as rapidly as possible. Many
changes are likely to be made before
it passes the Senate and still more be-
fore it gets out of the Conference
Committee. No fears are felt that
the bill will not be as good measure
as can possibly get through the Sen
ate in the absence OF a straight Re-
publican majority, when it finally
goes to President Mckinley for his
signature.
Secretary Bliss, Pension Commits
sioner Evans, and Land Commissioner
Hermann, each wrote letter to the
Senate committee that is investigat-
ing the workings of the civil-seryice
law and rules, advocating a curtail-
ment of the extension Of the rules
made by Mr.. Cleveland. Secretary
Bliss said: 1.-The chief clerk of this
department and the chiefs of divisions
should in my opinion, be exempt
from the classified service. These
officers occupy confidential relations
to the Secretary, and ON their briefs
or recommendations he is dependent
to large extent for the proper con-
duct Of his office. am of the opinion
also that the special agents, such as
land and timber inspectors, mineral
land commissioners, and particularly
the special Indian agents, and the
appointment of such, should be more
directly under the control of the Secre-
tary, who is responsible for their
actions, and who must depend upon
them very largely for his knowledge
of affairs in distant regions. . Land
Commissioner Hermann said: 1.-The
existing rules of the civil services
should be modified so tar as the
bureaus Of all the departments are
concerned in respect to their applica-
tions to chief clerks, chief Of divisions
receiving clerks and confidential
clerks, to inspectors. and also to all
the special agents ofthe departments.
fit is assumed that the dominant
party should shape the legislation Of
the country in consonance with the
policies which it sustains, it has
right to know thar the chiefs Of divi-

various divisions, are in perfect
sympathy with the party policies.
