His Valuable Time Wasted.

A Chicago lady who Is the wife Of
wealthy and influential citizen had a
great deal of trouble recently with her
iomestics. She had discharged her
cook and second girl and for a few
lays was obliged to do her own cook

"Oh, you Hon't, Ell? Well. now, trot

he returned, with vicious glance.
Mrs. Blank was backing within. To
be so insulted on her own doorstep was
such a heinous crime that her resources
failed her. But In a moment she hit

piece of insolence to abject humility.

The Head Hunters.

In Tupuselei, in New Guinea, the
houses are built on piles in the open
ocean a good distance from the shore.
The object of this is to protect the in
habitants against sudden attacks of
the kindly head hunters, who always
are on the lookout for victims, whose
heads they need in their business.
Other villages in this happy land are
perched up in all but inaccessible trees

Killing Dogs.

The law court has recently rendered a
decision. written by Judge Strout, on a
case in Knox county, relative to the
killing of dogs:
"Chapter 2s7 of the laws of 1892.
which requires owners of dogs to have
them registered and licensed annually,
does not destroy property in unlicensed
dogs, nor take away the right Of action
for killing such dog by an Unauthorized
person. The statute directs the NUM-
cipal officers of a town. within 10 DAYS
after May |, Of each wear, to issue their
warrant to a constable to destroy dogs
not licensed as the statute requires.
With "A single exception no person other
than such officer Is justified in killing
them. That exception is under r. s.,
&. 30, S. 2. which provides that "anY
person may lawfully kill dog that sud
denly assaults him or another person
when peaceahly walking or riding, or is
found worrying, wounding or killing
any domestic animal outside the en-
closure or Immediate care of his owner. ="
To Justify killing in such case, the dog
must be engaged in the act of attacking
or worrying at the time. 1t is not sufli
Client that he had previously done so, or
that the party had reasonable cause to
believe that it WAS necessary TO kill the
dog to prevent him from assaulting the
person, or Worrrying the animals.
If the dog is engaged in assaulting the
person or worrying he animals, At the
time, the killing is justified, whether the
dog was licensed or not.

Whitman County Fair.

Plans are rapidly going forward for the
annual fair of Whitman county to be
held at Colfax. The date has been fixed
upon and the fair will be held from Octo-
Der 10th to the l4th inclusive. Liberal
premiums will be given as heretofore for
exhibits of fruits, grains, grasses, live
stock, etc. Each and every farmer in
the county is exp ected to bring some
thing to the fair as an exhibit and as all
admissions are free it is to be hoped that
everyone will atten d. Good purses will
be given for races, open to all, except
that some of tho events will be confined
to Whitman county stock. The Poultry
Association will hold their exhibit at
the same time and meeting Of the
Whitman County Horticultural Society
will be arranged for on the same date.
Everything indicates this to be the best
fair Whitmrn county ever had.

II is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention.
from themselves by raising the cry OF
stop thief" and so putting the public
on false scent.
There is a certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
revolving" to write to a man in con-
sultation about disease. Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole clamor of "write to woman !"
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not a
doctor, and therefore not competent to
give medical advice
For the advice of an unqualified
woman Is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Women who are sick can obtain medi-
cal advice free by letter, by consulting DR..
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. AS an expert in
the treatment and cure of female dis
eases Dr. Pierce takes the highest rank.
In over thirty years experience he has
treated half-a-million women and of that
great number ninety eight per cent. have
been perfectly and permanently cured.
Each letter is held as private and its con-
tents guarded as a sacred confidence.
