Numbering Countrv uouses.

Out in California they are urging the
ABORTION Of a Tystem of numbering
country residences, reckoning from the
county seat as a center, and thus rem
der the location of a point In the rural
sections as simple as within city
limits. The plan is to name every
road In the county, first arranging
them in as long lengths as can well be
done. Then divide each mile into ten
parts OF blocks Of the same length,
and number them. a new number to
each frontage.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is q little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment AMI her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address il
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became so roor that /
had to leave school. 1 was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
yc1 gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as 1
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. 1 am completely cured Of
irregularity."

Slain by a Turkey.

The fashion by which Judge Samuel
Ashe, of the first North Carolina su-
preme court, came to his death must
have been extremely notifying to
him, observes Law Notes. He was
killed by a turkey gobbler. One day,
after he had become very old and in
firm, he was placed in a chair under
the shade of a tree in his yard. A red
cap protected his ancient noddle from
the attacks of flies, and his comfort
was so we'll provided for in every way
that a sweet slumber stole upon him
and caused him to nod. A large turkey
gobbler, which patrolled that precinct,
mistaking this for a challenge, imme-
diately gave battle. On a sudden the
judges sweet slumbers were broken by
the flap of hostile wings, and ere he
could collect his scattered senses a
well-directed spur smote him in the
temple, and he fell down and gave up
the ghost.

Buddha's Jewel Case.

New York Sun: Buddha's iewel-case
has perhaps been discovered in the
Busti district of the northwest prov
inces Of Hindoostan, not far from the
Nepaul frontier. In excavating a
shrine a cofin-shaped stone box was
found, containing jeweled ornaments.
cut gems, marble and crystal vases and
some bones. Round one CT the crystal
vases rms an inscription, which reads
as though the contents of the box had
belonged to Buddha himself.

tered about the extemporized dressing
room where Rita, tranquil and smiling,
was donning her attire. Then came in
succession the commonplace compli-
ments, to which the star Of the circus,
unheeding, scarcely deigned to give an
answer, without seeming to note the
ardent gaze of her admirers.
She was a handsome girl, a careless
gypsy, with the sun in her eyes and
her blood, accustomed to the atmos-
phere of admiration, and she finished
her toilet without h%urrying. At times,
however, impatiently and with a pref
ty, rebellious movement, she gave her
shoulders a shake and made the pearls
of her necklace rattle. 1t was then
the little clown Aesop, her husband,
who, all bef1oured and painted, was
walking before the room, his huge
topknot swaying at every step, drew
near, and with his sharp falsetto voice
launched some taunt at the artists
courtiers. They laughed, they even
apphuded, but more often they low
cred their yes before the cutting, cold
gaze of the dwarf, whose wan and
grotesque face-in spite of the smile
of his blood-red and too large lips
seemed at some moments to be fraught
with evil.
This evening the manikin was in a
worse humor than usual; his jeers
were more biting and more bitter, and
beneath the coat of flour covering his
scanned features he appeared not pale,
but livid. His eyes had a sharp and
menacing flash in them, and never left
Rita, who, gayly posed before her mir
ror, was having her bodice laced by
the handsome gymnast Icarus.
In the circus the orchestra was fin
ishing a waltz, by Metra. The curious
were gradually quitting the stable and
returning to their places. The sharp
cuts of the ring masters whip were
cracking in the arena; the show had
begun. Icarus placed a last rose in the
hair of the equestrienne and ran to
chalk her shoes. He stumbled against
his dwarfsh comrade.
The clown seemed very busy in ex-
aiming the gas meter, and pushed
him away with an oath. Then. with
out more ado, the acrobat sent him
Keeling, and leaping on a ladder, cried

VENGEANCE.

That evening there was a great ON
course Of people On the Place de la
Liberte. The Rosati Circus was CIV
ing its last performance, and the pub
lie of Toulon was f1ocking in crowds
to this farewell representation. At the
doors, beneath the Pickering CLEAN OF
the rows Of gas lights, there was a
ceaseless crush and movement; an end
less line was slowly winding its way
in, hating at every step and hammer
ing the sounding planks with a con-
fused clatter. All around, on the no.
tice boards stuck in the ground, the
colors of the flaming posters were dis
played, and, bathed in the garish light.
dazzled the eye. In the crowd of spec
tators and idlers everyone was reading
aloud the placard which stood conspic-
uous in front:
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1898-05-27


Within the circus the seats were al
ready o~verfiowing, and the same names
repeated from mouth to mouth blend
ed into a general murmur, deadened by
the canvas roof over the ring. Some
Of the circus men were raking the saw
dust on the track, and above the door
to the stables the musicians were Ian
guidly tuning their instruments or at
times addressing friends who passed
beneath the gallery. THAT you? Mari
