MINE MULES ON VACATlONl
Fresh Air and Sunshine First DRze
Them and Then Overjoy Them.

Fresh Air and Sunshine First Dnze
Them and Then Overjoy Them.
The superintendent of the Sweet
Springs mine undertook thorough
renovation Of the mine the day after
the miners went out on strike, and
the first step preparatory to cleaning
up was to remove the mules from the
underground stables and put them out
on pasture.
Some OF them had not been out of
the mine for months, number had
been below the surface for two or
three years, and one had not seen the
sunshine for seven years, as long as
Jacob served for Leah. They were led
from the mine, twenty-seven patient
creatures, and turned loose in Morri-
sons pasture field. They stood about
close together, knee deep in lush.
green grass, and sweet red clover with
dropping heads and eyes half closed,
as though dazed by their sudden
change Of circumstances. At last. as
the sun dropped down behind Bow
mans hill, one gray old veteran threw
up his head and shifted at the fine fra
grant air blowing down the valley, and
In moment a little movement went
through the whole group.
The old leader wheeled about sharp
ly, took a long look at the clear sky
above, the brawling little brook clat
tering over the stones, the grass and
the trees. then he drew up his head,

In an instant the whole mass had
separated and was in motion. Such
running. racing. knicking and jumping
were never before seen-stiff knees, dim
eyes and spawned joints all forgotten
in the pure enjoyment of out of doors.
They brayed and beloved ran and
kicked. stopped for breath, then be-
gan again.
The whole village gathered at the
fence to see the fun; the men and
boys laughed and shouted, the babies
crowed and one or two women cried
a little, for there were sores aud lame
ness and weakness in plenty.
When night fell they were still roll
ling about and racing, forgetful of the
hunger and thirst that might be sat
isfed by the running stream and grass.
Old Mrs. Bascom. who lives at the
edge of the pasture field, was awak-

The fancy waist is made over fit
ted lining which closes at the centre
front, but is itself fitted by shoulder
seams and smooth under arm cores
and closes below the left side, the
basque being separate and scanned to
the waist proper. The full mousse
line is faced to yoke depth at the back
and stitched to the right front but
hooks over into place at the left shout
der and beneath the left rever. At
the neck is a soft collar of the same,
supplemented by a frill. The revers
are each faced with gray and are
trimmed with tiny ribbon frills which
match the mousseline in shade.
To make this waist for a lady of
medium size five yards of material
twenty-five inches wide will be re-
quired. To cut the skirt fifteen yards
of the same width will be required, the
rufiles alone calling for eight yards.

NERVOUS INSANITY.
SHATTERED NERVES AND HEAL.
THY KIDNEYS CANNOT EXIST
IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity of iFinding Remedy to Cure
Diseased Kidneys Led to the Discovery
of the World-renowned Morrow's
Kidneoids.


of the World-renowned Morrow's
kidneoids.
No organs of the body are more dependent
upon the healthy action of the kidneys than
the brain and nerves. If waste matters of
the system are not removed as rapidly as
formed, the nerves are the first to know it
and suffer in consequence. The kidneys
must remove these most poisonous matters.
Therefore, the importance of the relation of
the kidneys and nerves is apparent and
shonld be of deep concern to each individual.
If the kidneys do not perform their func-
tions properly, Systematically and on time,
serious complications must arise throughout
the entire body. From the nerves first comes
acute and chronic headaches; then excitabil.
ity of temper; next nervous prostration,
shattered nerves and insanity. With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these troubles
can be avoided or cured.
There is only one known remedy that not
only will make the kidneys sound, as nature
intended they should be, but also have a
strong and wholesome effect upon the nerve
centers-that remedy is Morrow's Kikneolds,
prepared in the form of yellow tablet.
Morrow's Kidneoids are not the foolish fan
cy of day, but are the result of years of ex.
pertinent, experience and thorough study
of the relations existing between the nerves
and kidneys. The honor of the discovery of
the Kidneoids is due to John Morrow, that
eminent chemist of Springfield, Ohio, whose
reputiOn would not permit HIM to place upon
the market any remedy not of the highest
value and merit.
In our last issue we announced that one of
the largest drug concerns in the Unit.
ed States was negotiating tor the control of
Morrow's Kidneoids. We are now Informed
by the discovcrcr of this most peculiar rem
edY that the Herb Medicine Co., Springfield,
Ohio, was the fortunate competitor of the
many firms, who were endeavoring to secure
the sole right to prepare and sell Morrow g
KidneyOi in the United states. They are
now on sale generally.

There is an old adage that one
should not look gift horse in the
mouth; but Mexico honors it In the
breach. Spain banished Jose Ventre
and sent him to Mexico. Ventres
mouth was the cause of his expatria-
ton. He is an audible anarchist.
Mexico took note Of the assisted i'm
migrants mouth and ordered him to
depart to some point without her
borders. He headed himself for the
United States the mecca and haven
of all disturbers of public tranquility
but Commissioner Powderly put up the
bars and the rejected gift Of Spain to
Mexico was not accepted by the United
States. Then Mexico put Ventre on a
man of war bound for a French port,
and ordered that he be returned to the
donor by way of FRANCE.

LAweRgAklNo BY TREATY PROPOSED.

The latest argument against the an
snexation of Hawaii is what Artemus
Ward would have called sweet boon.
1t admits that the Islands are necessary
to US as base of operations in this war.
But that is no reason why we should
annex them. Because the Hawaiian
government offers US the free use of
them, anyway. And if it did not, we
could take it by force. OF course, in
giving us the use Of the islands the
Hawaiian government will be breaking
. the law of nations. 1t will, under the
rules adopted at the time of the Geneva
award, be responsible to Spain for all
damage to that country resulting from
our use of the islands. But that will not
matter, for we shall have the making of
terms of peace, and we can easily require
Spain to relinfuish all such demans up.
on Hawaii.
That is the fine moral argument. We
are to let Hawaii, for our benefit, break
an international law which was made at
our own instance, and then use our
strength as victor in the war to shield
her from the penalty of her crime. We
are to seek to win this war through a
fragrant breach of international law.
And we are to refuse to make peace with
Spain until she agrees to condOne inter-
national law-breaking. We are to In.
corporate in a solemn treaty proviso
+ that nation shall not be called to ac-
count for law-breaking, so long as the
w-breaking was done for our benefit.
f We are TO put ourselves on record as
obeying the law of nations only when
p it pays us to do so, or when we are not
strong enough to break it with lmpunity.
Truly, that is the sort of righteousness
that eXalteth a nation. That is the sort
of morality that cOmmends itself to those
pure souls who think it would be a
wicked thing to do an act desired by the
. people of both nations.-New York

OF course the French thought of
them! What other nation would have
conceived such an altogether dainty,
ravishing thing? "Censer Balls" they
call them, and they are rightly named.
1t sounds mysterious, doesn't it? Well,
no wonder l couldn't imagine what
they were when l saw them first. They
were lying on a showcase in a tray of
other shining, delightful trinkets, and
asked to look at them. They were
chatelaine ornaments, l could see at
glance, but their why's and wherefores
remained as much mystery as ever.
The girl who knows everything ex
planned what they were. They were
about the size of a goodly English wal
nut, and were of gold, with colored
enameled over the surface. Moreover,
they were open work, like heavy fill
gree, and were wrought in the most
amazing design. They were ball
shaped of course, and were attached to
a chain about six inches long, to be
swung from the girdle, or finger, in
the manner of the old time handker-
chief grip"
Inside the ball there was colored
cotton of a contrasting shade from the
gold such as jewellers use in their lit
tie boxes, and the cotton was saturated
with some undying perfume or essence
that was warranted to stand the quick
breezes of Fifth avenue without more
than monthly renewal. Altogether a
unique and not unreasonable little fad.

A GLADSTONE BIOGRAPHY

Even before Mr.. Gladstone died those
whose business deals with the making
and the sale of books were curious
about who should be the final biographer
of the eminent statesman. That curious
itv is now increased, and additional
interest is due to the statement which
went the rounds of the press to the
effect that the Great Commoner, in the
late years of his life, devoted consider
able of his time to the classification of
bis correspondence with a view to the
possible preparation of defnitive
Biography.
There are already lives of Gladstone in
1plenty, and numerous summaries of the
political side of his career. There is
life by George Barnett Smith 1S79),
comprehensive, but heavy; one by
George w. E. Russell (1S9I, which
appeared in the series of "Prime Minis
tiers of Queen Victoria" and one by Z.
II. Jones (lSSO), brief and by no means
ADEQUATE. There is also Justin Nc
Carthy's "The Story of Gladstone's Life
QS97, which has the merits as well
'as the defects of a popular biography
There are also critical estimates by
Macaulay, r. H. Hutton and Mr.. Bryce,
which furnish the student of this event
Hui career with considerable valuable
material.
None of these works quite serves the
ends which thousands of the great states
mans admirers look for in satisfactory
life of the greatest Englishman of his
time, who, paradoxically, did not have
drop of English blood in his veins
Such life pleads for Boswell. The
most natural superstition is that if Mr.
Gladstone classified his documents for
biographer, he must have had one in
mind, and and thad his son is the most
likely person to put into enduring torn
the story which shall reveal to coming
Generations this eminent character as

within the family. But, whatever its
source, there is certainly a field for an
exhaustive biography which shall dc

The popularity of the rufled skirt
made from taffeta, either black, gray
or beige color, seems to increase as
the season advances and it bids fair
to take first place for year with waists
of various sorts.
The model shown is in a soft shade
of gray and is worn with a fancy
waist of figured silk showing bits of
pale corn color in conjunction with
mousseline de sole of the same tender

cular and fits snugly about the hips.
The frills, which are five inches in
width, are each cut bias and edged
with velvet ribbon stitched on.
