Savin' Mother.

THE farmer sat in his easy chair
L Between the fire and the !amp-ght's glare;
His face was ruddy, and full and fair
His three small boys in the chimney nook
COINED the lines of picture book;
His wife, the pride of his home and heart,
Baked the biscuit and made the tart,
Laid the table and stepped the tea,
Deity, swiftly, silently;
Tired and weary and weak and faint,
She bore her trials without complaint,
Like many another household saint
Content all selfish bliss above
In the patient ministry of love.
At last, between the clouds of smoke
That wreathed his lips the husband spoke:
There's taxes to raise, and interest to pay,
And ii there should come rainy day
'rwould be mighty handy I'm boun' to say

I'd be rather sparin' of coffee an tea,

After the recent fighting north Of
Manila the American soldiers found the
lull that followed and the rest they
were accorded very enjoyable. The
Kansas troops are occupying houses in
San Fernando, and O correspondent says
that for the first time since the begin
ming Of the campaign, February last,
the men can keep dry when 1t rains. 1t
must be remembered that only small
percentage Of the troops had blankets
and tents after the second week of the
advance. 1t Is happy lot of soldiers
now lounging in the shadows of the
huts and trees. The other day "Dea-

Mans Best Friend.

The horse, the most useful and high
ly priced of all our domestic animals,
deserves our best care and considera-
tion. That invaluable boon OF suffering
mankind, the H. II. II. Medicine was
first prepared for use on the horse by
its inventor, ID. Dodge Tomlinson, 400
North Third street, Philadelphia, Pa.
He was soon convinced that he had dis
covered the best remedy known for the
external treatment of sprains, swell
ings, sore joints, thrush, swollen ten
dons, Jumps and enlargements of any
kind in the horse. He then experiment
ed upon himself and his own family
with the same brilliant success. He
found that rheumatism, neuralgia,
headache sprains and other mysteri-
GUS aches and pains vanish as il by
magic after a few vigorous rubbings
and massage with the celebrated II. Fl.
II. Medicines. AS inferior preparations
afford a better profit to the dealer.
worthless substitutes are sometimes
sold. Look for signature and portrait
of the inventor on the wrapper.

They Will and They Won't.

"I'll tell you what woman will and
will not do in my line Of business
said the man who was selling clocks
and rugs on the weekly installment
plan. you can always figure as a
starter that she's going to haggle about
the price If I'd offer one Of these IS
clocks for $3.50, the average woman
would want something off. AS soon as
the weekly payments begin she'll make
a neighborhood hunt for plugged coins
and smooth pieces and work them on
on the collector. She'll also stand him
off for day or two every payday, and
even when the money is ready she'll
hang to It to the last.
That's what you can figure on 10
times out OF 20, but there's big Offset.
It's rare that women ever skip out and
take your property along. They could
do It in scores of cases, but their con-
science forbids. I've had so cases where
families moved, but after a little the
wife would send the new address. ! lost

cause OF their skip, but somehow I felt
that 1t would be all right in the end. So
it was. After seven months had passed
we got letter from North Dakota con-
tanning money order for the balance
due, and the woman explained that
she'd have sent it sooner, but that her
husband had died and her Oldest boy
been sent to jail sold rug last year
to family that moved next day and a
dozen creditors tried in vain to trace
them. After a week or so the wife ran
after me on the street to tell me where
to call, and added: 1t was the old
mans doings. He took skip to beat
the grocer, butcher, baker and drug
store, but if didn't pay for that beaut-

UNCLE SANS DOMAIN.

The idea that Uncle Sam is at pres

tau possession Of the people through

great mistake. He still has land
enough to give each one Of his 73.-
00O, 900 children a nice little home
stead OF eight acres each and still have
a ranch Of over 100000 acres left.
In other words. your dear old uncle
still owns something over 100000, 900
acres. distributed as follows through
out the various states and territories:
Alabama. 5S2.339 acres; Arizona. 54.-

Wyoming, 1894 ,5SS acres, and Alaska.
3C9, ,529 500 acres.
About one-half this vast amount OF
land lies, it will be seen, in Alaska,
and 1t is very certain that this will
never be available FOR homestead pur-
poses, but for T.ning purposes its
value in gold coin may prove to be
even greater than though it were
arabic. The larger part of the balance
lies in fertile and productive states,
and is still subject to homestead laws.
Those who want homes should avail
themselves Of the more than liberal
homestead laws of the United States.
This is the place for the surplus labor.

The Domestic Cat.

The prominent attention lately be-
slowed upon the domestic cat by fash
ionable society, and the great success
of several cat shows. have induced Mr..
John L. Diehl, the well known author
ity in domestic animals, to prepare q
handy little volume under the above
title. 1t carefully describes the different
breeds and varieties, and states how
to keep rare cats; how to recognize
their various diseases and how to
treat them. The publishers price for
the book is so cents, but the Associated
Fanciers' 400 N. Sd street, Philadelphia,
Pa, will mail copy Of it on receipt
of rs cents to any subscriber Of this

A Ness City (Kan.) man had an orig
inal way of bequeathing his effects to
his heirs. He requested that all meet
at his house at given time after his
death and open the safe in which lie
kept his valuables, which they were to
divide equally. To each of the heirs
was told part of the combination, and
accordingly the safe could not be
opened till they were all there. The
heirs met at the appointed time. The
combination failed to work, and me-
chanic was called, who opened the safe.
-Four thousand five hundred dollars was
found in the safe. The heirs are happy.

Where Early Planting Is Desirable.

81 tell a well meaning. but perhaps
not yet perfectly persistent young
friend, who asks me about it," said
Mr.. Staybolt, that there is no such
thing as an incubator that will hatch
out eagles from dollars while you
wait: that the only way, indeed, in
which a money crop can be raised is
by the most careful and constant cul-
tivation. And l venture to remind
him. he being young and with the
world yet before him, that this is a
crop in which it is desirable to begin
planting early, in order to produce the
best results"
The crops harvested at Chicora, 8. c..
this year were most bountifui. High
prices were realized for the large crops
OF midwinter fruits and vegetables. In
many cases the crops were sold from 20
to 50 per cent more than their estimated
value. With such returns to our settlers

are others who would like to locate there.

Later shipments he made to smelter at Socorro, New Mexico. he has also shipped ores from the same group to Denver, Chicago, Kansas City and Fl Paso. The Pool group is now under bond to a syndicate of capitalists who are pre- pairing to develop and operate the mines on an extensive scale. They will erect their own reduction works in the near future, and treat their ores on the ground, saving the cost of shipment.
 On the surface the ores of the camp are both lead and silver, in some places very rich native silver being found. But as depth is at tained the character of the ores changes to zinc and copper carrying a very high percentage of the latter metal.
