A Tough Contract.

"Well, Caleb" said Captain W. of
Massachusetts years ago, "what will
you ask day to saw wood for me? I've
got several cords that I want sawed in
two for the fireplace.

Bright and early that next July morn

sunset when he went to the house to

Let's see, said the captain, "you

reported from Paris. A married man

his wife was lnsulted. The lady rose
from her seat and went to meet her hus-
band. The latter re-entered the cafe in

Musical Family.

When Audubon was travelling in
Labrador, he came, one day, upon -
house where the friendly inhabitants
made much of MIN and his companions
and where the good wife asked him if
he played on any instrument.

dinarily fond Of music and have an in
strument which has been sent away for
repairs. We miss it greatly, for we can
all play on it, and when we are tired
the servants use it for us.
"You must be a very musical fam

of an instrument is it?"
She was perplexed.

~ can't find my cap anywhere, I" is a
sentence more or less familiar in the
household, that being what the boy says,
looking for his cap, when he wants to
go out to play. EARLY in the search he
enlists his mother, and that may make
a serious business Of it. She has to drop
her busting or whatever household work
she may be engaged in, and the search
may take long time.
"Where did you put it when you
came in:' isaquestion sure to be asked
sooner or later, but all the boy can an
swer is:

And then the search goes on every
where, over and under, in all sorts Of
places, all at great loss of time, if not
of temper. 1t is found at last. as most
things are in time. and III some simple,
easy place, which makes the finding Of
it all the more exasperating.
The boy takes it and goes out to play
and straightway rorgets all aDouu Iu;
but it may take quite little time to
restore the normal calm in the house.
It is a mystery how the boy manages
to lose his cap as often as he does, but
it appears to be boys way, and COM

Hoist tho Cuban Flag.

HAVANA, Dec. 2O.-The steamer Gal
lart has sailed for Santandar, Spain,
with 9S officers and l ,440 men, and the
steamer Cheribono has sailed for Val
encia, Spain, with 63 officers and 500
men. Crowds of people OF the lower
class at Cerro, the evacuated suburb of
Havana, invaded the residence of an
ex-police official named Prim, with the
intention Of lynching him. He escaped
through the rear of the house. Other
officials were also threatened with
lynching. At Pueblo Neuvo and other
places last night unknown persons fired
several shots at the Spanish sentinels.

ated towns of Calabizar and Santiago

Chas. Weston returned last week
from Ponca City, ,Oklahoma, where he
has been working for Hugh Owen the

thriving and next year will put in
about $500 acres of grain. He is now

A. G.. Darland, J. A. Graves and

about fifty goats. Messrs. Darland
and Graves accompanied the stock.
The defense iu the Cunningham
murder trial closed at noon to-day,
rebuttal to begin this afternoon. Evil
dence for defense seems to be purely
circumstantial. 1t is expected that
the case will be closed tonight and go

and B. [. Salinger are attorneys for
defense and County Atty. Brainard
and VIM. Wonn for State. The case
has been ably fought by both state
and defense In veiw of the evidence
it seems probable that the result will
be conviction.
Excitement has been very high here
the past few days on account Of the
fight for and against the petition for
saloons which was laid before the
county board of supervisors Tuesday.
A counter petition was circulated
through the county and was signed by
lOl persons who having signed the
first petition, asked that their names
be stricken from it. The board, how
ever refused to grant this and if the

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Don't Know II.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most DANGEROUS because so
deceptive. Many sudden deaths are
caused by it,-heart disease, pheu-
monia, heart failure or apoplexy are
often the result of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is allowed to advance
the kidney poison in the blood is
liable to attack the vital organs, or
the kidneys themselves break down
and waste away cell by cell. Then
the richness of the blood-the albu-
men-leaks out and the sufferer has
Bright's Disease, the worst form of
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble may
be detected although it be slow and
deceptive. First by analysis of the
urine: second by the simple test of
setting the urine aside in glass or
bottle for twenty-four hours, when a
cloudy brick dust indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that in
