Col Theodore Roosevelt gave some
good advice to the trough riders" who
fought under him at Santiago, before
they were mustered out. ''Don't pose
as heroes" he said, "or lie on your
laurels, because they wither. Be care
full of your conduct The world will be
kind for ten days, and then, in those
cold words that the world is capable
of speaking, it will declare you're
spoiled by going to the war; Here is
a good d-humOred recognition that mill
tary glory is transient, especially in
this country. War is a rare episode In
our national history. The duties chief
ly exacted Of Americans are those OF
peace-manliness in private life, integ-
rity in business, good citizenship. At
ter the Civil War the great majority
Of the volunteers who took part in it
went back to their ordinary occupa-
tions. Foreign observers were amazed
to see our great armies quickly dis
solved into quiet citizens, pursuing
peaceful work. But there were some,
and among them soldiers who had been
we'll have said, to use Colonel Roose-
velt's phrase, that they had been
spoiled" by the war. They had lost
all desire for useful, but hum-drum,
activities, and became dissipated and
worthless. The war with Spain has
taken into our armies only a small
fraction Of our citizens, compared with
the number who enlisted in the civil
war, but it will be great thing If
the soldiers who are mustered out
take into the duties of civil life the
courage, endurance and patriotism
which have been shown by so many Of
them in the remarkable campaign just
ended.

The production OF wolframite ores in
Southern Arizona is becoming an in
dustry of considerable Importance.
The mines are located in the Dragon
Mountains in Cochise county, and the
first development was made but few
months ago. Speaking Of them, the
Arizona Republican says: 'sThe Arizo-
ma School of Mines at Tucson has re-
ceived through Prof. Blake the first
consignment of carload, thirty tons
of crude wolframite ore from the Drag
oon Mountains, Cochise county, for
concentration preparatory to shipment
to Philadelphia. Several shipments OF
few tons of hand-sorted ore have al
ready been made, but the bulk of the
production requires crushing and con-
centration, to free it of the quartz
gangne. The milling process of the
Arizona School of Mines is becoming
recognized by many men in substan-
tial way, and that important branch
OF the university is fast becoming q
leading department of the curriculum
of the University"

GARGET---CAKED BAG.

Cows coming fresh are liable to this
disease and the heaviest, best mixers
are most liable. Failing to milk clean
at the start is the usual cause. Care
should always be taken to milk clean,
and if the udder has Jumps. in it, or
seems feverish, bathing in hot water
as hot as the hands can bear, rubbing
and kneading will usually prevent.
The inflammation seldom attacks
the whole udder, but is usually con-
fined to one or two quarters, and is in
dicated by swelling, heat, pains and a
redness of the parts intlamed. The
animal is restless, has little appetite, is
feverish, with the bowels out of order.
Unless relieved very soon the parts
usually suppurate and this usually re-
suits in breaking down their structure,
wasting and transforming into hard
cartilaginous substance. The capacity
for milk giving is in this way impaired,
and the animal becomes less valuable.
In treatment the milk must be fire.
uuently drawn with the hand or sy-
phon. Take powdered camphor, half
an ounce; extract of belladonna and
lard two ounces each, mix well togeth-
er and rub the parts well. If the
swelling be very large it will help
materially to relieve the animal if the
udder is supported by Il broad bandage
fastened over the back.
As internal treatment, give a mod
crate purge, say half pound of salts.
Follow this up with two ounces OF
saltpeter, morning and night. Give

COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT 1T.

DETwEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one OF the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state. it is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILIE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. of
the families In the county desire II as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford II, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven.
ience of writing letters. sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecially desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services of large number Of intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual

but sends it direct to this Office: In clubs.
however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay us. Now to our
propositions:

The SECRET OF GRAY HAIR.-Gray
hair is caused solely by the loss of pig
ment which gave it color. Grayness
may occur at any period of life, ire
spective of age; it is also hereditary.
A drachm of powdered borax is nice
to put in the water when washing the
hair. Rain or distilled water is pre-
ferable.
All preparations, including peroxide
of hydrogen, used for the purpose of
changing the color of hair, are to be
deprecated, although they have in
later years been very much improved
upon, and are now not nearly so harm
full as they were some years ago. The
effect of continual use of peroxide is
TO dry and break the hair and cause
premature grayness.

NATURE STUDY In MAINE.-State
Superintendent of Schools Stetson was
visiting school down in Pembroke
when he got into the pleasant mazes
of nature studies and asked some in
teresting questions about the little
things of the world about us, says the
Bangor Commercial.
"How many seed compartments are
there in an apple ?" he queried. No
one knew. "And yet,' said the state
superintendent, "all of you eat many
apples in the course of year, and see
the fruit every day, probably"
"You must learn to notice the little
things in nature. Now, perhaps some
little boy who has driven the COWS to
pasture every day this summer can
tell me on which jaw the COW has her
teeth ?"
No answer. Rather was there blank
astonishment, at last pierced by one
little fellow volunteering the informa.
tion that "our cow has teeth on both
jaws, cause she chaws hay all up
fine"
eff that is so, my boy" replied the
head of the state schools, "I'd advise
you to sell that wonderful cow with
teeth on both jaws to some museum.
I'm afraid, children, that you haven't
studied nature quite closely enough
You may be sure that the talk of
the state superintendent deeply i'm
pressed the children. They earnestly
discussed the matter at recess time,
and the teacher the next day over
heard this conversation in the play
yard.
A little girl got some of her COM
panions around her aud gravely said {:
"Now, children, make believe that l
am Mr.. Stetson. You've got to know
more about common things. If you
don't you'll all grow up to be FOOLS"
Snow, tell me-" she said, looking
sternly at playmate, show many
feathers has hen?''

HAD THEM IN STOCK.

Some 25 or 80 years ago, the exact
date doesn't matter, says Truth, the
only store in certain Vermont village
was kept by Abraham Frost, or Gun
Gle Abe" as everybody called him.
Uncle Abe was character, dry as
patent Office report, and sharp as a
newly honed razor, and what he didn't
have in that rambling, old-fashioned
store of bis wasn't worth keeping-or
selling, either. So Uncle Abe allowed,
and whenever some smart young man,
of whom there are always plenty in a
country village, tried to catch him by
asking for some improbable thing, the
shrewd storekeeper generally came out
on top of the heap by triumphantly
producing the article.
One day young man of this kind
was chatting Uncle Abe about his ex-
tensive stock of goods, and he finally
offered to wage SO that he could ask
for something that couldn't be found
in his store.
"I'll take that bet, young man" "
said Uncle Abe, quick as fash ; "that
is, provided ye ask fer somethin' that
is used around these diggln's."
"Oh, that all right" was the reply
II know of number of them in use
within half dozen miles of here"
"Thet's all want to KNOW" said
Uncle Abe. "There's sawbuck fer
ye; now kiver it, an then fire away"
The storekeeper laid ten-dollar
bill on the counter, young Mr.. Fresh
promptly covered it with greenback
of the same denomination two
pound weight was placed on the bills
to hold them down, and then, winking
blandly at the crowd looking oD, the
young man turned to the merchant
and said: .
"Well, Uncle Abe, see you're all
ready to wait on me, so I guess you
can do me up a secondhand pulpit il
you've got one in stock"
"Pulpit, eh? Sure it's pulpit you
want ?" said Uncle Abe, scratching his
head as if greatly puzzled.
eyes, sir, that's what l called for,
and that is precisely what l want"
"Won't nothin' but pulpit do
ye, eh ?"
"No, sir; either trot out your pulpit
or hand over these two SO bills, I'm
not particular which,"
Gall right, sonny if YER dead sure
it's pulpit YER sufferin' fer, reckon
kin accommodate ye," drawled Uncle
Abe, with a sly twinkle in his eyes.
Then turning to bis clerk he said
"Jake, just take the hand-truck and
wheel that air secondhand pulpit in
from the back room. bought it when
the old Orthodox church was torn
down dozen or fifteen years ago, and
I've kept it on hand ever since think
in I might get chance to sell it to
some burned idjit or other, an'-what's
your hurry, sonny Amt you going
to wait to see that pulpit ?"
But young Mr.. Fresh had vanished
through the doorway followed by
shouts of laughter from the crowd,
and after Uncle Abe had raked both
$40 bills into the cash drawer, he
said:
81 say there, Jake! Ye needn't
mind about bringin' out that air pulpit
l sent We fer. The young man has
changed his mind about takin' it, l
reckon"
