two before the charter election last
spring Smith in addressing his class on
municipal governments stated that one
man power was the ruinaton of cities
This was contorted as address against
the gang and this was the prime cause
of his dismissal. The gang then had the
Battlefield Veterans, a political organ
ization that does Reas dirty work, petit
ton the school board for a dismissal of
Smith on the ground that he was un-
patriotic. They claimed he had stated
that Grant would have died a poor tan
ner IL 1t had not been for the civil war"
and they interpreted this as casting slurs
upon the great general. This was merely
done to divert attention from the real
cause, which was that he had uncon-
sciously given the gang a hard rap in
teaching his class the evils of one-man
power in city affairs.
Tom Rea, a son of "Boss" Rea, did not
attend the local High School to-day.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as to
whether he intends to stay at home or
go to the Santa Clara school.

The hurry and hustle of the housewife
Is extremely wearing upon the delicate

nestness in whatever she undertakes. temp:s
her constantly to go beyond her strength.
Read the story of a Colorado woman as
told to our reporter: Eight years ago. y
said she, my husband died, and | was left
with three children to care for and educate.
About two years ago l was very sick with
blood poisoning, caused by an abscess that
nad not received proper treatment. The
ccisease for time settled in my throat, caus.
ing me intense agony. Then iufammatory
rheumatism set in. For four months and a
half 1 was prisoner in my room, most OF
the time confined to my bed NV hands
were swollen SO that could not feed myself.
and the swelling in my feet and ankles
would have made walking impossible if |
had been strong enough.
One day, after considerable treatment.
my physician brought me box of pills.
p" You need a tonic" he said, "and some
thing that will act at once, and this is the
best medicine know of for that purpose
Pills" exclaimed in surprise as he
opened the box and showed me the little
rink globes. These are DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People"
Yes" he replied, "but you need not be
alarmed, they are not physic, and my word
for it, they'll do you good"
Before had been taking them a week /
noticed great improvement in my con-
dition. Soon my rheumatism was gone. I
grew stronger each day and now am in the
best of health.

A BANQUET At SILVA.


"uestn Profuseiy SDrfnk1cd with
Rose Water After the Meal.
There were several round tables
placed down the middle of the room:
candles burned in candlesticks. all Of
which had been imported from Cairo
at fabulous cost, says the Geogr- ,,hi-
cal Journal. Lamps of olive oil were
also about the room The food was
more than abundant. A whole sheen
stuffed with rice, raisins and pistachio
nuts; soup, chicken, vegetables sue
ceeded each other. Then came trays of
delicious fruit-the trays made of
woven date-fiber; the fruit, the de-
hcious black grapes, figs, a small va
rlety OF watermelon, sweet lemons,
pomegranates and man6arins.
Our host did not sit down, but di-
rected the servants, who were most
likely slaves There is still some traffic
in slaves from Kura, the price of these
being small roll of blue and black
cloth, such as the natives wear. fancy
most of the Swans dislike of admit
ting Christians to their town is the
dread that their slave trade will be in
terfered with. There was no converse
ton during the meal, for anyone to
talk would have been a disregard for
the other more important function of
eating.
After long dinner VIC rose and
washed our hands in brass basins. with
water poured out of ewers. Then all
sat on divans round the room. A SER
want then walked round, showering
rose water over us SO literally that an
other had to follow with a towel and
wipe us dry, and while he did this a
third stuffed us with incense This I'M
pleasant ceremony cost our host large
sum, for rose water imported from
Egypt becomes of fabulous value and
the servants were unpleasantly liberal
in dispensing it.

THE CHRvSANTHEMuM.
Its Development Since Its First In.
Production

PRODUCTION.
When the plant was introduced. about
1s4O, it was only the small daisv-like
flower, now only seen as a rule in cot
tage gardens, which was highly priced
as a novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early, and before
1860 there were many chrysanthemura
societies in existence, among them the
Stoke Newington, which formed the
nucleus of the National society. Yet it
was not until 1889, when the plants suf-
fered severely from early frosts. that
there was any idea of growing them
under glass. The japanese variety was
noticed in 1864 as novelty, ''very curl
Gus and interesting, but scarcely orna-
mental" How little did the author of
these remarks suspect that a future was
before the plant he so summarily set
aside. Three years later, however, we
find japanese varieties recommended
with pompom and incurred. and since
then they have increased in favor, says
Longman's Magazine.
The gorgeously colored mop-like
blooms now exhibited every autumn
would certainly astonish that writer
OF 80 years ago. The golden and bronze
shades of the chrysanthemum shifted
the taste of the promoters of the "high
art" aesthetic movement of few years
ago, which, if it had no other merit,
helped to bring this flower more for
ward and revived the culture of sun
flowers, which were fast becoming ex-
tinct in our gardens.

TEN THOUSAND DEAD WOLVES.
A Heavy Drain North Dakota's
Treasury Caused by Bounty Law.

Treasury Caused by bounty Law.
The last legislature appropriated $1o,-
600 to carry out the provisions of wolf
bounty law that gave three dollars fer
each wolf slain in any part of North Da-
kota, and expected the money to last
through a full biennial period till the
next session. Now it has been shown
tina; the appropriation for the two wears
will be overdrawn by at least $4,000 in
the first few months of the first season.
At least 10000 wolves of the large gray
variety have been killed by hunters
and trappers who have made business
of the matter this season.
The wolf bounty law was passed at
the earnest request of stockmen in all
parts of the state, whose losses from tbe
ravages of the gray wolves have been
exceptionally large and were continual
~ increasing. The majority of the cor
tifcates come from the western part of
the state, and the next greatest number
from the northern tier of col. ties. Ri
iings county, one of the largest stock
counties of the state, will have a thou
sand or more certificates. Billings also
pays county bounty, which is draw
ing heavily on her resources. There are
a thousand certificates ont in Williams
county, and one man has nearly 300. He
is said to be the champion wolf hunter
of the state.
The tayorite method of killing wolves
is with dogs Poisoning was the former
method. Shooting is a surer method.
but it is difficult to get close enough to
wolf to secure good shot. With dogs.
wolf seen is as good as captured if the
dogs are good, and many of them are
being bred for that purpose.

When Virginia was settled auctions of
wives were held at jamestown. The
average price was e120. or 5000. The
only place on the continent now where
such price might prevail is the Klon-
dixie. There are $4,000 more women
than men in Massachusetts alone, which
is an indication that the market is over
stocked.
