For the satisfaction OF that estimable
but diminutive portion of the public who
would TASK for more" the curtain shall
60 up for a few minutes on the last tab
leau.
Winter and summer had conn and gone
three times, and a glowing autumn sun
was gliding the hills aud deepening the
purple heather, when Mona aud her hus
band strolled together once more to the
seat by the big oak tree.

smile stealing into his brown eyes and
spreading over his healthy, happy face.

Gait of the Stout Woman

sDid you ever notice, said a y Dung
woman of observation to n writer for
the Washington Star, that no matter
how heavy any of my obese sisters may
grow to be they can always move light
iy? The ARREST dancer that l ever knew
was a woman who weighed over 20C
pounds, and the boys used to tell me
that it was positively a comfort 10 waltz
with her, for she seemed to float about
like a balloon. OF course, there are
plenty Of stout women who come down
like a falling keg every time they stir a
step, but that is because they hold their
shoulders bowed back and their stom-
achs bowed out until they look in pro-
lille like u bow window. They have
thrown themselves off their enter OF
gravity and prance about with all the
grace of a walking beam. But the
woman who knows how to hold her.
self, how to poise herself, / should
rather say. can % as lightly as a
sylph, as everybody can testify who
keeps his eyes and ears open. l repeat.
too, that she can move much more light
ly than a man Of corresponding bulk
can. l don't know why it is. but its
certainly SO. l suppose that if a close
series of experiments were made, some
thing in the nature of comparative
measurements it would be found that
in the woman's case there is a more
equal distribution Of avoirdupois than
in the mans case. / offer the sug.

Went "Stall' For Him.

An lnCIueuL UccurIcu IA a uv-npOwp
restaurant last week. It furnished
amusement for one or two patrons, but
for some reason did not appeal to the
proprietor's sense of humor.
A man fairly well dressed entered
and sat down al one Of the tables for a
moment then seeing a good-natured
looking man across the room, deliber-
ately went over to him and said: Cant
you set M up to a meal?'
well, | guess not" was the reply.
But what's the use OF going hungry?
You can come 10 this table. order what
you like and | will go stall for you"
The man ordered an elaborate meal,
which he ate deliberately. Then the
two men rose, and as the ~good-natured
man stopped at the desk the stranger
stood for a moment or two in the door
unconcernedIy and then walked of.

prietor, as the good-naturned mau laid

out on an innocent waiter.

The Prairie.

The skies are blue above my head,
The prairie green below,
And hickering Ger the tufted grass
The shifting shadows go.
Vague sailing, where the feathery cloud,
Flock white the tranquil skies,
Black Javelins darling where aloft
The whirring pheasant flies.
A glimmering plain in drowsy trance
me dim horizon bounds,
Where all the air is resonant
Win sleepy summer sounds
Inc lie that sings among the flowers,
The lisping Of the breeze,
Inc hot cicala's sultry cry,
The urmurous dream Of bees,
The butterfy-a flying flower
Wheels swift In flashing rings.
And hutters ound his quiet kin.
With brave. fiame-mottled wings.
The wild pinks burst in crimson fire.
The phlox's bright clusters shine,
And prairie cups are swinging free
TO spill their airy wine.
And lavishly beneath the sun,
In liberal splendor rolled.
The fennel fills the dipping plain
With foods of fiowery gold:
And widely weaves the iron-weed
A woof OF purple dyes.
Where autumn's royal feet may tread
When bankrupt summer flies.
In verudurous tumult far away
The prairie pillows CLEAN:
Upon their crests I'm blessing rests
The noontide's gracious beam,
Low. quivering vapors steaming dim
The level splendors break
Where languid lilies deck the rim
or some land-circled lake.
Far in the east like low-hung clouds
TIL waving woodlands lie;
Far In the west the glowing plain
Melts warmly In the sky.
No accent wounds the reverent air,
No footprint dints the sod
Lone In the light the prairie lies,
Wrapt In a dream of God.

The reader of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-

Cure is taken internall acting di-
Irectly on the blood and mucous sur

THE pR. COOK CASE.
A Botanical Doctor Who Will Test tn
Law.

A Botanical Doctor Who Will Test the
Law.
The case against DR.. Cook. for the
alleged practice OF medicine without
a license, is attracting great deal Of
attention.
The closing arguments 10 the case
of State Us. DR. J. +. Cook, charged
with practiciug medicine without a
license, were not concluded until
about 9 p. m, Friday, when the case
went to the jury. After three hours
deliberation, a verdict OF guilty was
returned and Justice Jonhnsun named
today at 2 p. m. assthe time for pro-
nouncing judgment
At p. IN. today Justice Johnson
imposed fine of $50 and costs upon
DR.. Cook in default Of which commit
ment papers were made out and
placed 10 the hands of Constable
Vain who escorted DR.. Cook to
the county jail. Upon arrival there
however, DR.. Cook paid the $50 fine
and was released from custody.
HISTORY OF DIR. COOK.
DR.. John Frederick Cook is a Ger
man and with his wife, who assists
lin at times, came to Salem last
July from Omaha, where they lived
for ten years and he practiced his
profession of botanical physician all
that time. lie has practiced some
twenty-four years all together In diff
ferent states, Minnesota and Wis
consin. He claims to practice under
a diploma from legally chartered
college OF medicine - the Botanical
Health University Of Illinois. He has
treated scores of people in and about
Salem and had no trouble until Mrs.
Stewart who lives out of Salem a
ways was treated for a sore leg. DR..
Cook claims she was nearly healed
when she caught cold and took re-
lapse, falling into the hands of a regu-
lar physician who Cook claims induced
her to bring .this prosecution. DR..
Cook claims he treated Mr.. Lull, who
recently left Salem, of paraiyzed
leg with a bone abscess and com.
pletely cured him. He claims to use
no drugs, ,poisons or surgical operations
in his treatment. His lawyer VIM.
Kaiser made a splendid plea for the
defense, and DR.. Cook will appeal to
the highest courts. He claims that
the decision against him is contrary
to the constitution and he has won in
other states against similar medical
bills and the people who have had his
services are backing him in this con-
test. 1t will be made a test case and
fought to finish.
