THE JUDGES AFFIDAvIT.-Some
years ago Justice of the Peace Beasley,
of Missouri, was personally interested
in a lawsuit, being party thereto. 1t
was necessary for him to make an afti
davit, and he deprecated the idea of
making it before another justice or a
notary and depriving himself OF fee.
So be filled out the affidavit, swore to
it before himself, signed it as justice
and as witness and awaited develop
ments. He was sure that he would
win and thus be able to tax the costs
up to the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelly, the affidavit was offered in evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that justice could
not swear himself.
"Let me see the affidavit" said
Kelly.
1t was handed up to the judge, who
scanned it carefully for few moments
and then asked:
"Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell
me how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identi-
fed your own signiture
"That was very easy, your honor"
replied Beasley. 81 borrowed look
ing glass and went through the for
malties before it,"
Beasley was somewhat astonished
when Judge Kelly sustained the OBJ
iection.-Omaha World. Herald.

INCREDULOUs AS TO It's ORIGIN
A party was being shown over the
British museum. In one of the rooms
the keeper pointed out collection oi
antique vases, which had been recent
ly dug up at Herculaneum, says Pear
sons Weekly.
dug up, sir ?" echoed one Of the
party.
"Yes, SIR"
"What, out Of the ground?"
"Undoubtedly."
"What, just as they are?'
"Perhaps some little pains have been
taken in cleaning them ; but in all 9TH
er respects they were found just as
you see them"
The wise man turned to one of his
companions, and, with an incredulous
shake of the head, whispered
"He may say what he likes; but he
shall never persuade me that they
dug up ready-made pots out of the
ground"

NOT MUCH OF A DISCRIMINATORY
A small son, aged three, turned up the
other afternoon and crying piteously.
"What is the matter asked papa.
"Somebody hit me-" answered John

"Did you hit back, asked the stern
parent.
"No," sobbed Johnny.
Then followed advice, which end

and when anyone hits you, you hit
back and as hard as you can"
Two days later, in came sonny,
with his head high in the air and a

SORE SHOULDERS ON HORSES.

If farmers and teamSterS. would
learn a lesson from their own hands,
there would be far fewer sore shoulders
seen on horses. 1t is easy for u man
who has done no manual labor to
blister his hands with fork, or shovel
or u scythe. 1t is just as easy to pre-
vent this by seasoning the hands in
advance. The horses that have been
idle all winter, or that have not had a
collar on for some weeks in the sum-
mer time, should be set to work grad
ually. Carelessness is the cause of
most of the cases of sore shoulders.
The trouble lies more in the driver
than in the collar or the harness of the
horse. Two men will take the same
team and harness and work them in
the same field at the same kind of
work the one will do more than the
other, and still keep the shoulders oi
the horses sound, while the other will
have them sore in day or two. 1t is
not all in the collar or the horse.
There are but few horses whose skin
is very tender; but the most of them
have sore shoulders because their
drivers are careless and thoughtless.
The best cure for sore shoulders is
never 10 cause them. A man whose
horses have sore shoulders wants look.
ing after. Sometimes change Of
drivers is the best cure for sore shoul-
ders. The first thing to do is TO see
that the collars fit comfortably. Then
keep them clean and smooth. Keep
the traces even, so that each shoulder
does its fair share of the work. Keep
the lines so that the horses work with
their heads straight in front, not on
one side. 1t is little things like this
that makes the difference between Il
good and poor teamster.
Season the horse before the hard
work begins, then, with collars and
harness properly adjusted, and a care
full, observant driver, there should be
no more sore shoulders. 1t is good
plan to remove the collars at noon,
clean them and wash the shoulders
with clean water. If the skin is
broken, little carbonated vaseline is Il
good healing remedy aud prevents
scars. A little alum in the water used
for washing the shoulders, will help
tougher them while they are heing

/ TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING

THE following is a copy of circular
l. letter which is being sent out by one
of the largest mercantile establishments
of the great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire
DEAR SIR: During the past few months
the losses sustained by merchants,
through fires, in that part of the country
tributary to the st. Louis market, have
been so unusually, large and disastrous as
TO suggest to us the advisability. of ad-
dressing our customers upon the I'M
PORTANCE of keeping fully insured
at ALL TIMES. Within the past few
weeks, four Of our own customers have
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance, or so nearly So that
the amount carried was totally inad-
equate to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, when the fire came, il
was found that policies for considerable
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make SECOND mistake of this kind, but
the commonest feature of the FIRST, is
the wiping out Of the results of years OF
labor and thrift and leaving those who
commit the folly of FAILING TO INSURE,
in position whereby they have to face
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
fruits of 20 years of labor swept away
within few minutes, with no other lega-
cy than smoke and ashes and vain regrets
for what might have been prevented by
little foresight To the wide awake,
conservative business man, the expense
incident to keeping his goods fully insur-
ed is Just as legitimate and necessary rs
that of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences of fail
ure to insure for FIVE, TEN or TWENTY
years, but we are just rs certain to he
brought face to face with it, sooner or
later, as we stay in business; therefore,
we say to you, if you are not now in
sured, attend to it before the sun
goes down , .o
With kindly assurances Of regard for
our mutual interests, we are,
Very sincerely, your friends,

lied the action of its convention commit
tee in changing the time and place of
holding its state convention from May
q. in Albany, to May 10, in this city. In
an address which the state committee
has issued under the caption of Inter-
est TO Democrats of New York State"
the committee says that it is the inten-
ton at the coming convention TO select
delegates to the national convention, be-
cause the regular organization is con-
trolled by me nwho do not represent the
party, who did not support Bryan in 1896
and who are in realty antagonistic TO

leaders the committee says: These men
do not come out in the open ana say: We
are for Bryan and the Chicago p atform.
with the addition of planks against trusts
and Imperialism but resort to all sorts
OF subterfuge and eQuivocation. There
would not be a particle Of doubt of Sc
curing a Bryan delegation from New
York If his opponents would meet us in
a fair and manly way. They refuse to
put up delegates openly pledged to any
thing, but it can only be for the purpose
of deceiving the voters into voting for
delegates supposed TO be for the Chi
cago platform and Bryan, but who would
turn out in the convention to be against
him. Any delegates who refuse to be in
structed to vote for Bryan do nor intend
TO vote for him, and any delegate who
is not pledged for Bryan is secretly
DIaSs1ed against him
