 The fight existing between the rival towns Dnluth, Munisota, and Superior, Wisconsin, has been trans ferred to the United States Senate, over a little bill presented by senator Quay, to extend the time from March to July for the completion of the steel bridge which is to connect the two cities. Between them flows a little arm of Lake Superior called by courtesy St. Louis River, which is as famous in the annals of the North west as was the Rubieon in the time Cesar. As long as that stream of water remains unbridged, just so long will Duluth remain Duluth, and Superior be known as Superior But in the dreadful times Go come when the bridge shall span that river, if is likely that Superior will be known as a sub urb of Duluth and Duluth be known as Il suburb of Superior, thus making the doughty citizens ofthose cities lieawake at nights, and stand on the shores of their dividing stream and hurl defiance tostheir en- eroaching neighbors

SUFFERING BEa SILENCE.
 Women are the real heroes of the world. Thousands on thousands of them endure the dragging torture of the ills peculiar to womankind in the silence of home. They suffer on and on-weeks, months, years. The story of weakness and torture is written in the drawn features, in the sallow skin, in the list less eyes, ill the lines of care and worry on the face.
 Unborn modesty seals their lips. They prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has made them believe the only hope of relief lies in the exposure of examina- ton and f'local treatment"
 Take ten cases of female weakness" nnd in nine of them ''local treatment" : is unnecessary, There is no reason why modest, sensitive wouien should snh- nit to 1t. EzeEEEREE'S 4-

The Atlanta Journal says: The city boy grows up in contracted space. The square upon which he lives is his world, the little things of earth he despises, and he begins to burn the candle ot ex- istence too soon. For him there IS little opportunity for the display of sterling manhood or the enjoyment of life in it's relation to nature. The country boy is, from the first, child of necessity, and early learns the lesson of how to make ends meet. The ways and means of life
 is hard and effective school from which to graduate. The pupils therein cannot sit down with folded hands and wait for help, but they must help themselves and at once. The broad fields give scope to the mind and strength to the heart-the country boy is man at 10, though he does not know it, and at 20 he stands young giant, while his city cousin is the dyspeptic victim of vile cigarettes and bad hours.

 Arizona is noted as being one of the best cattle breeding sections of Uncle Sam's vast domain. Navajo county can now lay claim to having the most pro. life, consequently the most valuable COW in Arizona, or for that matter in. the en. tire world. There is a man in this coun- ty, who according to the assessment of 1896, owned one COW. He returned to the assessor in 1897, seventy-five head of stock cattle, and has made one or two shipments of beef cattle, and 80 far as known has bought no cattle. Fifty COWS like this one would soon oyerstock the range and make the owner a millionaire -WInslow Mail.
