Notes on the Horse

DR.. ]. R. Baker, Of Peoria, ILL.,,
writes co the Journal Of agriculture az
follows:
Any man who will savagely Jerk,
kick OF beat a horse, is not ct to hand
lie, or / N any way have charge of one.
1t is a shame and a disgrace that any
one should half starve a horse and
then try to get full work out of him.
Almost any horse will do right if he
has a master who has sense enough to
teach him.
Water and feed your horse regular
ly. Also curry him well and keep his
stable clean and sweet and give him a
good bed to sleep on.
Always be careful not to overwork
a horse. When he is tired let him rest.

PREACHER FOR WHISKY.
Rev. Mr.. Bibb, of Mexico, Wants
Free Whisky on Street Corners.
From the Kansas City Times.

MEXICO, Mo-, April 23.-At the
Court House in this city last night
Rev. M. l.. Bibb advanced his new
doctrine as a solution of the temper
ance question:
snake whiskey free. Take the
license off. 1t will then not be such a
curse to the country-and it is a wrong
course to license an evil.
81 would rather have a barrel of
free whisky on every corner of the
Mexico public square than two
licensed saloons.
"Whisky ought to be 35 cents per
gallon. If the dramshop keeper
didn't have to pay such a high license
he wouldn't push the sale of liquor SO
hard"
Rev. Bibb read an extract from a
brewery mans address advocating
soloon men to encourage boys to
drink, for if they did not take the
place of their fathers when they died,
where would the liquor mans family
get bread-his business would be gone,

After the exertion of my record

team in the south last winter, during
which I lost somewhat in weight, on
account of the unaccustomed climate,
I was advised to use Paine's celery
compound. I Inn pleased to say that
It gave such satisfaction that I was
impelled to use it again to brace up
from the effects of the two unusually

Reflections of q Rachelnr

Every man thinks he could do lots
better work IL he only felt better.
A woman never really takes pleas
ure In hurting a man unless she loves
him.
When one woman kisses another it
means about as much as when one
man calls another "old man,
A woman will always deny that she
can't put on a clean pilIow-case with
out holding the pillow in her mouth.
A man never has any money. Be-
fore he gets married he spends it, and
after he gets married his wife does.
A well-dressed woman is never
satisfied till she knows you know it,
but she doesn't like you to tell her
you know she knows 1t.

HUNTER HAS WITHDRAWN.
He is Out OF the Race For the Ken
lucky Senatorship.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 21.-Hunter,
beaten by the boilers in his own par
ty, has withdrawn from the race for
United States Senator from Kentucky.
In answer to a request from him,
Chairman Jones of the Republican
caucus issued a call at noon for a
meeting in the House of Representa-
tives, At which a new candidate will
be selected.
The light for a nomination in the
caucus lies between W. II. Holt, for
merly Chief Justice of the Court of
Appeals, and State Senator W. ]. De-
Doe. Hunters friends, it is said, will
many of them support Deboe, but Holt
looks like a winner.
Mayor George D. Todd, of Louisville,
Is a candidate, and he is said to have
Hunters personal support. Deboe,
who has expected it, is angry. The
prospect is for a bitter fight over the
nomination. When Hunter tenders
back to the caucus tonight the nomi-
nation he will score the boilers, who
prevented his success
Hunters friends now admit that
Gov. Bradley is not behind the bribery
charges made against their candidate.

HUSBANDS FAULTS.
Mrs. Beecher's Advice to Young Mar
ried People.

In writing of marital worries and
pleasures Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher
said:
Did you never tell your husband oil
some great excellence of virtue in
your friends husband, purposely to
remind him of some shortcoming OF
fault which you had seen in his own
habits or character?
Do you ever treat your husband,
when in company, with inattention or
impatience, while you politely and
cordially accept the attentions OF
other and less noble men?
Do you ever impatiently blame him
in the presence of a third party?
What man is more sensitive to blame
in the presence of others than a hus-
band, when censure comes from his
wife's lips?
Are you ever cross and silent in
your own home, with no one to enter
tain but your husband, yet full of life,
wit and amiability in company?
While it is just that husbands should
listen and receive this counsel, and by
the lesson it teaches endeavor to
augment the joys of home, should not
wives also take its truth into their
own hearts? Are we not equally
likely to trespass in the same way?
Aye, more SO. For home is our king

with a judicious hand.
1 have seen young people begin life
with every promise of the most per-
feet happiness, yet make entire ship
wreck of it all by their unguarded
impatient looks and unre-
strained tempers.
A talent for spicy and brilliant re-
partee may enliven a party and give
highest zest and piquancy to social
intercourse, endowing its possessor
a certain position, enviable or
otherwise; but in the home circle it is
1 dangerous gift, and unfortunately,
more frequently bestowed upon the
wife than upon the husbund.
How often have we recoiled, as from
/ blow, when hearing those who
should be one in heart draw COMPARE
IONS prejudicial to their own compan-
on and to the credit of another, and
We grieve to say that such remarks

James Michael is the champion long

James Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that of thousands
of others. With the opening of the
bicycle season many a young person
and hundreds of older people who
have determined to take up bicycling
as a health giving exercise find them
selves really lacking the proper "snap"
or stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents SO spirited exer-
else. They would like to ride, but
they are out of sorts, run down by a
winter of work or indoor life. Many
who are really sick, who have suffered
from debility or wasting diseases for a
long time until they had begun to
think their troubles had become
chronic, as nothing gave them relief,
would turn to bicycling for relief. But
this splendid exercise, like any other,
requires strength to undertake. The
bAoOA 10 ooS "a o1oCi, LaC uCEt6s are
deranged, and natures food for both
is needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense joy that Paine's celery COM
pound, taken now, will make them
well. |
Paine's celery compound works
wonders in the spring. If you have
labored under the load of repeated |
headaches, neuralgia pains and days
of nervous debility, now is your best
time to get we'll.
Michael is to-day the most phe-
1omenal rider in professional ranks.
As far back as 1894 he was undisputed
of Great Britain, and in the
following year he went to France and
scored % straight wins against the
picked riders of Europe. He has de-
'eated such famous men as Jacauelin.

Home and hospital established and controlled
by Baptists, but admits of sick and afflicted of
all denominations or of no denomination. The

trained nurses and will receive such skilled
medical and surgical treatment as each indi-
Vldual case may require, and we solicit your

reasonable. Our aims in this new sanitariuin
are Just the same as when we first entered the
work twelve ll2I years ago. AS in the past,
of all denominations and their fami-
lies receive free professional treatment. Also
no charges for professional serv ices rendered
INDECENT persons whose board and nurse bills
are paid by churches, lodges, &c.

SHERMAN'S MEMORY.
Its Failure Has Often Embarrassed
Himself and His Friends.
Washington Special Chicago Record.

Washington Special Chicago Record.
Secretary Sherman is making him
self talked about a good deal by hi
inability to recognize his former col.
leagues when they call to see him.
The dignity of two distinguished mem
bers of the United States Senate sus-
tanned a severe shock during the last
few days, when they called upon
Secretary Sherman and were obliged
to introduce themselves to him. Mr.,
Babcock, who has served as Mr.. Sher-
mans secretary for nearly 25 years,
usually whispers the name of callersin
the ear of his chief when he gets an
opportunity to do 80, but when Mr..
Sherman has no prompter he makes q
mess of it. He never does know the
members of the Diplomatic Corps
apart, and cannot pronounce their
names. 1t is quite painful on d1plo-
matte day to see him struggle with
the -tangling titles of the Am
bassadors and Ministers from abroad,
1t is even whispered that the vener-
able Senator did not recognize one of
his colleagues in the Cabinet when
they met at the residence of a friend
the other day, but this is an old fail
ing of his.
He almost broke the heart of Will
liam Fl. Calkins, of Laporte, Ind, who
was in Congress some years ago, by
mistaking him for the Sergeant st
Arms of the Senate. MI. Sherman
was a candidate for the Presidential
nomination, and MI. Calkins was one
of his most ardent supporters. There
arrived in Washington one day a dele
CATION of prominent citizens from
Indiana, ana when evening
came on and they had nothing else to
do, CaIkins suggested that they call
Senator Sherman. Most of the
party objected, because they yer
strangers to him, but Calkins assured
them that the Senator from Ohio was
most intimate friend, that they
were just like brothers and that Sher-
would never forgive him il he
found out that a party of such distin-
Republicans stayed over
night in Washington without calling
pay their respects. So they yielded
and started for the Sherman mansion
IN Franklin square.
While they g walking along
.alkins entertained his friends with
of his ~brotherly intimacy with
Mr.. Sherman, and their affection for
one another, and the active part he
was taking in Mr. Sherman's canvass. I
As they entered the house the Senator
greeted them cordially, but told them

not stop. But the host urged them to
come in and wait until Mrs. Sherman
was ready. When that good lady
came downstairs with her bonnet on

party by introducing Calkins as Col

was then Sergeant at Arms OF the
