horses, as the famous soldier was re-
turning home from the service, and
drew his carriage to his hotel with
many evidences of enthusiastic love
and admiration. The scene was a STIR
ring one, and a friend, in referring to
it some weeks afterward, said: You
must have been very much pleased"
Layfayette looked at him for a mo-
ment in silence, and then said, with a
whimsical smile: "Yes, l was very
much pleased-very much pleased, i'm
deed. But | never saw anything more
of my horses, my dear friend!"
Governor Roosevelt attended the re-
cent commencement at Cornell, and
while there was entertained at one of
the college fraternity houses. When
he was about to leave, one of his staff

Riders" "Teddy," in an outburst of
goodfellowship, replied: "All right,
boys, Pll be glad to send you a copy
with my compliments; the book would
be very small return for your hospi-
tally" Where upon one of the boys
exclaimed, excitedIy: "That's so, gov
ernor; I've read it."
During recent campaign in Ohio,
the advocate on the stump of a certain
candidate, speaking to an assemblage
of farmers, made the following appeal
to their good sense: "Friends, let us
suppose that one of you farmers has
hired man. You may feel a little
doubt of HIM at the outset, but you
give him fair trial. You like him so
well that you keep him another year.
And he serves you in such a way that
he secures still another reengagement.
Isn't that good business principle?"
The orator paused and smiled down
at his audience. Before he could re-
sumo, the shrill voice of one of the
farmers had interrupted him. "Say,"
said the voice, chow is it when the
hired man gets to thinkin' that he
owns the hull farm?"

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 14.-Fear for
the safety of the Klondike steamer In
dianapolis, which has twenty-three
gold seekers on board, are apparently
unfounded. Persons arriving here from
St. Michaels report that when they
left there she was anchored in the har-
Dor alongside the steamer Illinois.

FOREIGN BODIES IN THROAT

Children, who act on the belief that
the mouth was made before pockets,
often make it a receptacle for objects
of all shapes, sizes, and conditions of
cleanliness-pins, jackstones, marbles,
coins, and other things innumerable.
Usually such treasures are found when
wanted, but sometimes they act as in
other pockets with hole in the bot
tom-they drop out, or rather they
drop in, and then trouble ensues.
Older people may also suffer from
swallowing things unintentionally
while eating. A fish-bone is a pecu
liarly troublesome thing to escape into
the gullet, but more dangerous still is
large piece of meat, which may slip
down the throat accidentally while the
person is talking, and cause suffocation
by pressing on the windpipe. OF course
this accident could only occur to one
with table manners bad enough to al
low him to take such a large piece of
meat into the mouth and then to talk
while eating it,
Most articles swallowed, either by
children or adults, cause no trouble,
but if they are arrested in the gullet,
they may cause most alarming symp-
toms of pain and suffocation. Many
cases are recorded in medical litera-
ture of grave suffering, and even death,
from the Judgement in the gullet Of
blackstone, a ragged piece of bone, a
raw potato, a set of false teeth, and so
forth.
The signs of an arrest of this sort
are coughing, difficulty in catching the
breath, pain and difficulty, or impossi-
bility, of swallowing. When a small,
sharp body, such as pin or a fish
bone, is causing trouble, it is better TO
try to bring it up first rather than to
force it down into the stomach. The
latter course is usually the easier, but
il exposes the patient to the danger
of scratching or perforation of the
stomach or intestine by the sharp body.
If food has just been taken, vomiting
may be induced by tickling the back of
the throat with the finger or feather.
If there is no food in the stomach, the
sufferer may drink pint of milk and
directly after take some rennet or a
little vinegar to curdle the milk: then,
if vomiting is induced, the curds may
catch the foreign body and bring it up.
Another plan is to swallow a loose
ball of yarn the size of an English wal
nut, attached to a stout thread, and
then to pull it up. If it is impossible
by any Of these means to bring up the
foreign body, an attempt should be
made to force it down by swallowing
good-sized boluses of bread crumbs,
mashed potatoes, mashed baked beans,
or the like, and washing them down
with copious draughts of water.
The back of the throat should be eX-
amined in a strong light, for the body
may be arrested at the entrance to
the gullet, and if seen, can often be
dislodged by the fingers Of some i'm
provised instrument

The strong conclusion of every rea-
sonable man and woman is that Chris
tianity, producing such grand results,
cannot be a delusion. A lie, a cheat.
swindle, a hallucination cannot
launch such a glory of the centuries.
Your logic and your common sense
convince you that bad cause cannot
produce an illustrious result; out of
the womb of such a monster no such
angel can be born. There are many
who began with thinking that the
Christian religion was a stupid farce
who have come to the conclusion that
it is a reality. Why are you in the
Lords house today? Why did you
sing this song? Why did you bow
your head in the opening prayer? Why
did you bring your family with you?
Why, when tell you of the ending of
all trials in the bosom of God, do there
stand tears in your eyes-not tears of
grief but tears of joy such as stand in
the eyes of homesick children far away
at school when some one talks to them
about going home? Why is it that you
can be so calmly submissive to the
death of your loved one, about whose
departure you once were so angry and
so rebellious? There is something the
matter with you. All your friends
have found out there is a great change

65 feet. as the pulley rope binds at that
length. The contract weight was $50
pounds. We find the ladder weighs All,
which is rs pounds over the contract. We
also find that the ladder is not safe for
any more than three men to go up at any
one time. The agent, or the factory, viii
not guarantee the ladder to hold my
specific weight. We also find that the
truck is top-heavy, and the running gear
is not heavy enough for the top weight.
The seat is SO arranged that it is not safe
for any man to drive a team of horses

to hold the horses in check. We find that

necessary to purchase a new truck, sew

were considered. One was the kind Sc

has long used one of this make, and it

THE WILL is GOOD
so SAYS THE JURY IN THE NATTER
OF THE ESTATE OF JAMES
REILLY.

The trial of the suit of Mary Madigan
against Mayor Harrington and his wife
was finished in Judge Lindsay's court to-
day, and resulted in a verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. The suit was instituted to
contest the will of James NJ. Reilly, a
brother OF the plaintiff, and also q brother
of Mrs. Harrington. Kelly lived with
the Harringtons, and it was alleged that
shortly before his death occurred from
the effects of an attack of pneumonia he
signed a document purporting to be a
will, in which he bequeathed the larger
part of his property and personal effects
to the Ha%rringtons. Mrs. Madigan
claimed that when the will was signed
Reilly was practically dead and there
fore knew not what he was doing; that
the Harringtons influenced him; that the
will had not been witnessed as required
