A QUESTION OF INTENT.
The Horse Was willing to work
nut Was Physically No
Good.

A case which illustrates how re-
sourceful lawyer can bring new light
to bear On an apparently hopeless situ-
alton was recently tried before a jus
tice ofthe peace in this city.
The plaintiff was q German farmer
who had bought horse. His tale was
pathetic. The former owner was much
more used TO selling horses than the
purchaser was to buying. After q few
moments of silver-tongued persuasion
the farmer was ia hurry TO close the
bargain lest it should got away from
him. He hitched the horse TO a wagon
next day, and the animal, after giving a
a few tugs at the traces, looked re-
proachfully around and then hung his
head. The humane farmer lightened
the burden and tried him again, but the
horse, after bracing his feet for a pull,
trembled in the knees and quit. Think
ing it possible the animal was tired
his owner let him rest over night. Next
morning when put between the shafts
the horse paved the ground once or
twice in an honest effort and then,
overcome by humiliation, tried to lie
down.
"Did my client tell you that it was
q strong horse2" asked the lawyer for
the defense.
"IIe represendatiffed him to me as a
! goot horse" said the placid German,
who had no idea of the logic to be en-
countered before the final decision in
his favor could be rendered..
IL
was the rejoinder, in a severe tone.
"Now, as q matter of fact didn't he
simply say to you that the horse was
q good worker?"
"Yes," came the answer, promptly.
"Dose is der exact information. But
he didn't"

The client, a slightly bow-legged man

"The only assurance given" proceed
ed the young lawyer, 'was that tn
horse was a good worker. The de
scription was intended to apply to tn

PROPER VENTILATION.
The windows Should BE Kept Open In
Winter as Wei ns in
Summer.

So much has been said upon the sub
iect Of ventilation that it is impossible
TO say anything new; and it should be
unnecessary TO say anything at all,
were it not for the fact Of the many
stuffy rooms we encounter.
In winter. windows are opened Ear
too infrequently for proper change Of
air. Cold air is not necessarily pure air.
Fresh air will heat much more quickly
than the lifeless air of a room impreg-
mated with the noXious exhalations Of
its occupants. We all object to take am
others breath at close range. 1t is just
as deadly as longer distance. This is
not o matter of ultra fastidiousness. 1t
is harmful to rebreathe ones own ex-
halations.
At night many fear to open windows
adequately for fear of might air."
What air can there be at night but night
air? There are few occasions when out-
side air at night, with proper prccau-
tions as TO direct draughts, is not vast
is superior to that within.
Of late successful warfare has been
yagod upon high hats in large places o.
assembly. The disgusting nuisance of
public oxpectoration has been met and
fairly vanquished. Why not now enter
a crusade against foul air?
How refined and cleanly people can
sit complacently inhaling the exhala-
tions and enluvia of q mass of surround.

MAGNIFICENT PUBLICATION
Upon THE SOUTH.

The wonderful progress which the
South has been making in all lines of
industrial, commercial and intellectual
development has been most fittingly
set forth in a magnificent volume,
which, after months of careful prepara-
ton, has just been issued by the South
ern Railway.
This book, the title Of which, The
Empire Of the South" conveys an idea
Of its character, is beyond question one
Of the most comprehensive and at the
same time artistic, publications ever
issued from the press. 1t contains
nearly 200 octave pages, over 400 ex-
Quisitely printed illustrations, and
makes a presentation of Southern in
terests in all lines of human activity,
which for thOrOughness Of treatment
has never been approached
The opening chapter of the book un-
der the caption of "The South Yester-
day. To-day and Tomorrow" discusses
in a broad and forcible manner the
present and future of the Southern
| States, treating at considerable length
the various interests, such as agricul-
ture, cotton, tobacco, iron, coal, resorts,
climate. etc. Following this are chap
/ ters devoted to each state south OF the
| Ohio and Potomac. and east of the
Mississippi rivers.
These give a brief. interesting sketch
/ of the early history of each state. and
touch upon all its important activities,
showing the progress being made not
only by the state itself, but by the lead
ing cities.
The author of the work, Frank Pres
brey. is a close student of Southern
progress, and in the collection and
preparation of the immense amount of
important information given in the
book has had the cooperation of the
officials of the Southern Railway. The
distribution of this magnificent volume
viii do an incalculable amount ol
lpractical good in calling the attention
of the world to the South, and the
Southern Railway has demonstrated its
faith fin the future of that section by
1.-THE expenditure of the many thousand.
of dollars which this great work mus
have cost. This book can be obtained
from Charles L. Hopkins, Distric
Passenger Agent, Southern Railway

INsANn oR A LIAR2

II he is reported correctly the chari-
table view of John II. Peyton is that
he is a crank; a man of one idea, who
imagines that everything not approved
by his own code is of the devil. No
man who is possessed Of normal rea-
soning faculties would expect to be be-
lieyed truthful and sincere when he
charged that:
"There are $4,000 American troops on
the island of Luzon. The
United States has in and around Ma
nila at this moment $4,000
drunkards. rakes and gamblers. OF
course there are exceptions, but they
are not worth mentioning"
Mr. Peyton is a missionary-desig-
mated as army secretary Of the Brother
hood of St. Andrew. He has certainly
been engaged in good work in the
PHILIPPINES, whittier he was sent by
Bishop Doane; but that he tells the
truth. or even approaches the
truth. in this, is not possible. TC

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Little Bits OF Infprmation About
the Preparation Of PnIat-
able Dishes.

To prepare tomatoes with the satan
&c name, wipe, peel and slice crosswise.
Season with salt and pepper. dust lib
orally with flour and cook in the hot
outlet pan until thoroughly heated,
using drippings, olive oil or enough but
ter to prevent burning. Take up on
hot platter and put into the pan n
quarter Of q cupful Of butter creamed,
two tablespoonfuls powdered sugar
one teaspoonful mustard, a quarter
teaspoonful of salt, q few grains of cay
enne, the yolk of one hard-boiled egg
powdered, one egg slightly beaten and
two tablespoonfuls vinegar. Set over
the hot-water pan, stir constantly until
thickened and pour over the tomatoes.
Poultry and meat, on being served
cold. may be improved in appearance
by glazing. The process is simple. An
excellent glaze may be made by dis
solving half ounce of gelatine in pint
of water. flavoring and coloring it with
extract OF beef To be perfectly sue
cessful the meat must be perfectly cold
before the glaze is put on, and the
first coat should be allowed to dry be-
fore the second is put on. The glaze
must be warm and applied with O
brush.
Parsley for seasoning OF mint foT
sauce are best cut with pair OF clean
sharp scissors. Hold a half dozen Of tn,
stalks twisted into q little roll I'm ON,

stroke, cutting the bits very short. In
this way the bruised appearance that

WANT PRAIRIE DOG REMEDY.
The Animals Are Rapidly Becoming
Pest to The stoclSInen
OF Nebraska.

The buffalo and the antelope once
found on the prairies Of Nebraska dis
appeared long ago, but the prairie dog
still lives and fourishes. As a matter
of fact, he is flourishing so greatly that
appeal after appeal is coming to the
biologists of the state university for
aid in ridding the northwestern part OF
the state of a great pest.
The prairie dog is not q beautiful an
imal, but as a propagator Of his spe
cies he stands near the top of the list.
Heisexceedingly gregarious and builds
towns with a rapidity that gains the
respectful admiration of even the most
successful town boomers. So far The
rayages of the prairie dogs have been
confined to the stock-growing country,
and stockmen say that unless SOME
thing is done a large part of the state
viii be abandoned to the animal The
damage done by them consists in the
killing of the grass wherever they arc
located Especially are they common
in Sheridan county, an almost exclu-
sively stocl-growing district Ten
years ago there were few prairie dogs
there and all in one town. AS an illus
tration of how fast they multiply it is
stated that three years ago there was
dog town north of Rushville, the
county seat, which covered less than
100 acres. To-day it extends over four
sections of land or 1850 acres. Within
a radius Of four miles of Rushville there
are now nine towns, covering some
/ eight sections of land, all of which is
useless for grazing purposes.
So elusive are the little fellows that
! the marksmen no longer waste their
time on them. The best hunters say
the dogs can dodge a bullet between
the flash and its arrival in their neigh.
borhood No certain remedy to get rid
of the pests has yet been invented. and
the scientists at the experimental sta.
tion here have taken up the subject
and as soon as they arrive at a conclu
sion win publish it for the benefit oil
the sufferers.
The only practical method that hai
been tried so far is the use Of poisonous
gases and virus. Carbon bisulphide il
sure death to the dogs, but the price
and the labor involved in applying

d difficulty experienced in finding a VI

gested are equally fatal TO domesti
animals and human beings. The vii.
, little fellows also decline to walk RICH
up and partake of the poisoned bal

The scientists are also at q loss t
