others, put never got the true RENE

take its place in our home, us in 1t

1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as DIR. Kings

good, because this remedy has a

anteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

What a Farmer Must Be.

William Allen White, who first at
tIacted attention by his trenchant
inquiry of "What's the matter with
Kansas?" and later by a delig htful
volume of stories of boyhood, has
written for the November Scribner's
about "The Business of Wheat
Farm Referring to the farmer OF
to-day he says:
"The successful farmer of this
generation must be business man
FIRST, and tiller of the soil after.
ward. In him must be combined
many talents. He must be q capi-
talist, cautious and crafty; he must
be an operator of industrial affairs,
daring and resourceful, and he must
play labors part with patience and
humility. He is in business as Ger
tainIy as the banker. And hence
forth, until the order changes, the
farmers success in business will
quadrate with the kind and guam
tity of brains he uses, and with tht
number of fertile acres under hi
plow."

Zoology.

Owing to the inordinate use of
pseudo classical phraseology. the
fascinatil 6 study of animal life has
oeen too long considered as pro-
fession, or n science restricted TO n
favored few, and interdicted to the
many util they have undergone n
lopg apprenticeship to its prelimina
~ formula. So deeply rooted in
his idea, that the popular notion of
of scientific man is of one who
possesses fund of words and not
one who has gathered mass of ideas.
There is really not the least rea.
son why any one of ordinary capa.
bilities, and moderate memery
should not be acquainted with the
general outlines of zoology, and pos
sesses some knowledge of the rep
resantative animals, which serve as
types of each group, tribe or family;
for when relieved of the cumbersome
diction with which it is embarrassed
the study of animal life can be
brought within the comprehension
of all who care to examinine the
myriad varieties of form and colour
with which tho Almighty clothes
His living poems.
What do we know of man from
the dissecting room? OF man, the
warrior, the statesman, the poet, or
the saint? In the lifeless corpse
there are no records of burning
thoughts. the hopes, loves, and fears
that once animated that now passive
form, and which constituted the very
essence of the being. Every nerve,
tibre, and particle in the dead bod

poet and the boor,, the saint and the
,ensualist, may be separately traced

IRREGULAR RETURNS
May Create Trouble for a Dem
ocratic Nominee for State
Senate.

The official returns of the vote
cast for the State Senate in the
First District-conslsting of the
counties of Smyth and Washing
ton-develope the following inter
esting fact:
In Smyth county the vote was
as follows-Vint ii. Thomas,
1,0S4; G.. w. Steele, G95; G. w,
Calhoun, 81.
In Washington county the re-
suit was-Vint III. Thomas, 1,442;
Chas. w. Steele, 2,0S0. q. w.
Calhoun,
A comparison of the votes cast
for the regular Democratic nom.
inee In the two counties shows
that his name appears on the re-
turns from Washington county as
Charles w. Steele, while it should
have been G. w. Steele.
The Board of State Canvassers,
will, tn 2refore, be compelled to
treat the two names as those of
two different persons and, instead
OF giving the regular Democratic
nominee of the district, as intend
ed, 2,775, they will have to credit
the opposition candidate, Vint Ii.
Thomas, with 1926 votes, thereby
awarding him the scat in the Sen
ate, unless some higher power is
brought to bear upon the board.
Last fall when the vote cast 70,
the various candidates was can
vassed by the same board it ap-
peard that in the Tenth Congress
Sional district some Of the votes
were certified in the official re-
turns as cast for j. YoSt and 9th
ers for Jacob Yost. The board de-
cided that the votes could not be
considered in these instances as
being cast for the same persons and
the certificate of election was
awarded to Senator II. ID. Flood.
Mr.. YOSt, however, secured a
writ of mandamus from the Su-
preme Court of Appeals cOmpell-
ing the board to accept an amend.
ed return which gave all the votes
cast to j. YOst. When this re-
turn was presented the board by
a vote of 4 to 1-Governor OFFER
rail- dissenting-declined to count
the vote, and it required another
peremptory mandamus to compel
the board to count the vote III the
corrected return, whereby the
certificate of election was award
ed to Mr.. Yost.
In the present case of G. w.
Steele it is understood that writ
of mandamuS will be the only
means of having the vote cast for
the two names counted for the
same person, provided, however,
that the official ballots have been
printed correctly in both counties
according to the manner In which
the Democratic nominee spells
his name.
