vaccinating Cattle.

Ranchmen and farmers in the west
ern part of the county are expert
menting this spring with the discov-
cry in vaccin; tion for the prevention
of blackleg in cattle. The vaccine is
furnished lfree by the government
and the only expense attached is the
buying of the apparatus to inject the
vaccine. This expense amounts to
about $4.45. A number of cattle
have already died from blackleg and
the ranchmen are trying to prevent
more losses ip their herds. If this
new preventative for blackleg proves
success, as some who have tried il
believe, it will be great benefit te
cattle raisers generally.-Leader.

One Tail Two Cents.

John Ronayne, postal clerk on the
Aberdeen-Edgeley run, reports that
yesterday letter passed through his
hands going from Oakes to Ellen ID ale
which had affixed to the upper right
hand corner, a gopher tail instead of
a postage stamp, According to reg
ulstions the letter was passed on, of
course, but the party addressed was
required to paw the postage before
getting it from the postofice. The
tail was probably stuck to the envel-
ope in spirit of mischief by some
person, but it is reported as fact
that among the younger population
of the north state gopher tails pass
as legal tender and are receivable for
all debts and deals among them

begin to shout for Bryan so soon af-
ter arrival in this country, the repub-
lican party better commence hustling

and ninety per cent atmosphere-our

100000 for a black hog 10000 miles

three items are enough to make any

any one else who will remedy it,
There being no physician on the train

And Dewey wept and said: 81 see

4 Moving letter Boz

Thule of the house are placed as many
Of these letter boxes az there are ten

ance there is little difference between
the group Of boxes and those to be
seen in the vestibule Of any fiat house
in this country. Instead, however, Of
retaining the letters, cards and so forth
until some one descends to get them,
the Paris invention promptly delivers
its contents to the person for whom
they are intended. Thus, when the
postman has a letter for Mr., So-and-So
he deposits 1t in the box bearing that
gentleman's name. The missive opens
a lever at the bottom Of the box, which
thereupon moves upward until It comes
to MI. so-and-Sos apartment. There.

tents Of the boz are emptied into . re-

fragrant blossoms into the room within
where a kindly faced woman was bus

ergetic fashion she hummed in a sweet
yet tremulous voice the strains OF an
old-fashioned hymn.
Martha Kidder, or "Martny," as she
wa Familiarity called by the neighbors
was a woman Of perhaps SO years o!
age, long since past her first youth
bu. the possessor Of n Of those faces
from which the youthful expression is
never eliminated. She was of medium
height and rather spare in form; hel
still abundant hair was drawn smooth,
ly away from the placid brow and fas-

head. The lilac-sprigged gown of sof'
delaine, with its linen collar, was Sc

AS she moved about in her quick
nervous fashion she gradually drew
near the window, and, attracted by the
nodding rose, whose fragrance filled
the room, she leaned her tired arm
upon its narrow ledge and gazed low
