ROOD WILL BE NAMED.

His APPOINTMENT to Succeed Larrabee on
Board of Control May BE Rejected.
Dies MONIES, Jan. 26.-Governdr Shaw
will appoint Colonel H. H. Rood of
Mount Vernon member of the state
board of control to succeed Ex-Governor
Larrabee. The governor stated that he
had rendered the appointment to Rood
and that if the latter could make salts
factory business arrangements he would
accept the same. There has been much
opposition to Rood's appointment and
it developed that enough members OF
the senate have been pledged to vote
against his confirmation. With the
votes of the Democrats they will be able
to defeat the appointment.

highlanders had barely commenced to

reports of smoothbore musketry, and
our part of the battle had begun. Men

| The Gordon highlanders were led in
at Elandslaagte by General French in
person when they struck the last hill.
By the side of the highlanders rode the
Imperial Light horse, with Colonel
Scott Chisholme at their head. French
called out to the highlanders: "Come
along. boys. This is the hottest have
ever been in" At the same time Colo
mel Chisholme waved his scarf to give
encouragement to his troops.
4 A sortie from besieged line is one
of the most daring and dangerous
deeds in war because the besiegers
have every advantage for seeing and
checking the movement. The first
sortie hero. Major Scott Turner, paid
the penalty of his daring in the fourth
desperate charge Of his second sortie
at Kimberley.
At dawn on the 25th Major Turner
led out force of mounted troops to-
ward ridge where the Beers were
strongly intrenched. Finding the Boer
pickets asleep. as often happens, the
column galloped along the ridge and
rushed the Boer redoubts, meeting
however, with warm welcome Of bull
lets from the alert trench guard. Three
hundred yards beyond the redoubts lay
q Boer lager. and as the gallant major
was about to charge 1t he discovered
that his troopers were short of am
munition and Boer re-enforcements
were pouring in to the camp. Not hav
ing the force to hold his ground, he re
tired, carrying back bullet in the
shoulder.

ARMED MEN AT FRANKFORT

FRANKFORT, Jan. 26.-Tissue ballots

events now making history at the state
capitol. The train that bore the armed
men was made up of IA coaches. The
men formed into companies and
marched to the state house, where their
arms were deposited promiscuously and
the men scattered about the building.
Lunch was served to them at the rear
of the state house. Most Of the visitors
wore badges OF white ribbon, adorned
with a picture of Governor Taylor.
The armed men of the mountains,
contrary to expectations, on the advice
of the Republican authorities here, left
Frankfort at 8 o'clock last night. The
concensus of opinion here is that the
visitors mistooll this for the day on

Mothers Friend

does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. 1t helps be-
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
it, and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense of dread and foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
Of all, Mothers Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother, and when the little one comes il
will be strong, lusty and healthy.
Druggists sell Mothers Friend for 81 a bottle.

SUGGESTIONS OF BARRIERS.

There is quite as much good as bad
luck to be encountered.
1t is considered very bad luck to see
hunchback in the mirror standing or
passing back of one. This omen is said
to foretell death in the family.
You cannot be too careful about hav-
.ng your chin shaved before the mus
tache. If you persist in having the
upper lip shaved first you will never, it
is said, DE able to raise good beard.
a very bod omen is to have the towel
about the neck drop out before one is
shaved. This catastrophe indicates
that one will be cut soon by BARRIERS
carelessneSs.
Very good luck is invited by the man
who has his sao-s polished at the same
time he is heisc shaved. = nav be Cue
partly 10 tA,s su2erstiticu that this
ame-saviug 5eNcs is bec ming pop
u.ar
1t is very common belief that for
barber to lather the face with sin
gle up stroke of the brush inevitably
brings bad luck. Many people wiz
sharply abuse barber who makes this
mistake.
To be shaved by a red-headed barber,
is believed by many to be a sure cure
for rheumatism. There are several red
headed BARRIERS in New York who have
kept customers for long time on the
strength of this superstition.
tits comforting to remember tht to be
accidentally cut twice on the same side
of the face in one shaving will insure
good luck for some time. Should this
be done intentionally, however, the
charm is completely lost
1t is well 10 RENE mber that If one con-
tinually sits with legs crossed in the
barber shop the hair is likely to come
cut early i'm life. making a man prema-
turely bald. The habit, which is a COM
mon one. should therefore be re-
formed before it is too late.
very dangerous practice is the not
common one of using several razors for
single shave. Two razors are allow
able. but to use more than two even
for moment is said to bring very bad
luck. a barber will sometimes try a
razor, and if he does not find it sharp
enough pick up another and change to a
third in finishing
