The Best Prescription Is Grove s

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle

contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out Of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-

of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect You are

yers; he has combined some very valu-
able digests of railroad and land laws,
says the Boston Transcript Little Of
his career has been public, as his large
practice has engaged most of his time.
Year after year he was importuned
by the Republicans of Iowa to become
their candidate for Congress against
James B. Weaver. At length, in 1888.
he was nominated almost without his
knowledge, and so consented to run.
1t is related that when he shame
facedly told his wife that he had ac-
cepted the nomination, she, with some
disgust, said: "Well, John, now that
you have gone into ii, you must beat
Weaver-and If you don't I'll leave

out this terrible threat, evidently, she
used all her endeavors to elect him, go
ing to his political meetings and noting
the impressions that different parts Of
his speech made.

would be impossible, by the way, to
place chairs in such a position delber-
ately. You couldn't do it to save your
neck. The effect depends upon very
subtle combination of lines impaired
unconsciously by the occupants.
Did you ever go into a room where
a poker party had been playing a stiff
game all night and notice the way the
chairs stood about the tables? In nine
cases out of ten they tell the story Of
the wind-up as clearly as it could be
done by types. Several years ago [

Texas and Pacific, when a fellow was
shot in quarrel in one of the rooms

The RuhiCnn.

The proverb in regard TO passing the
Rubicon originated from the circum-
stance of julius Caesars crossing the
stream in the year 40 with his for
midable force. This act marked the be-
ginning of civil war. The Rubicon is
the ancient name of a small stream
which divided Italy from Cisalpine
Gaul, and was the boundary of Gaze
sar's province. 1t separated his prov
ince from fertile and populous coun-
try, upon the conquest of which he de-
termined. At the brink of the Rubicon
he paused. conscience smitten and un-
decided. Finally, the love of conquest
led him across the stream and sent war
and pestilence into the heart Of the
country. The proverb signifies the en-
trance upon any undertaking, from
which there can be no retreat

1t is on record that Mary's little lamb,
when it followed her to school, made
the children laugh and play" and con-
sequently had to be turned out by the
teacher. But it is also on record that
in Boston there are several schools
which have regularly maintained such
pets as cats, guinea pigs and rabbits,
and have allowed these animals to play
freely about the school rooms, without
any disconcerting or time-WaSting eff
feet. 1t is even asserted that the pres
ence Of the dependent and loving little
creatures had beneficial effect Oh the
schools. They taught the little city
children how animals familiar to coun-
try people look, and also, by arOusing
their affection, inclined the hearts of
rough children to humanity and tender
ness. There was just enough recrea-
ton in the presence of the animals to
do the children good, without distract
ing them unduly. The animals were,
in the midst of the slums of the city, d

may not be practicable to provide all
schools with animal pets, and in the

do so; but the proposition in Boston,

The greatest evil of divorce is the
one of which little is said-the catas-
trophe to the children from the disrup-

current New York life will illustrate
better than thousand generalities: In

of talk not long ago the court gave the
father custody of the children. He has
put them in charge of one of his fe-
male relatives. The younger child is
little girl just old enough to write in
a large scrawling hand and to read
words of one syllable if the type is
large and her mind not too tired. \
few days ago, about midnight, the
nursery governess missed the child.
She was not in her little bed, not in
her room. not in the house-and the
front door was unaccountably open.
The governeSs ran into the street and
to the corner where she presently saw
under a street lamp far down the block
small figure marching sturdily away
from "hOme" through the lonely,
''bogy" haunted darkness. The GOV

then ran on until one of her shoes came

night gown. She had not stopped TO
put on her stockings or to button her
shoes. "Oh. let me go on She sob

had thought that the child had forgot
ten because they had told her never
to speak of her mother and she had
said nothing about her for more than
| six months. There Is much brave talk
about supreme duty to ones own in

But it sinks away into shamefaced
silence before the appealing voice of a
forlorn little child looking for her lost

dozen or more years ago farmer
twisted a bit of iron about a wire fence,
and noticed that his cattle avoided it.
Thus originated the use of the barbed
wire fence, which has cut the great
free prairies into ranches. 1t has LAGER

bers of the wild animals that once
roamed the prairies, and is now classed
as war material by the nations. Both

that of the most improved guns and

The curious grammatical crror-al-

roe doctrine has often been commented
upon. Something near a parallel to it
appears in the recently negotiated
treaty between this country and Great
Britain for the construction and control
Of the Isthmian canal. The text of
that treaty provides that ratifcations
OF it shall be exchanged within six
months of the date hereof, or earlier if
possible!" And the treaty was written
and carefully revised and re-revised bv
one OF the most accomplished literary
men of the age. 1t is perhaps because
the slip is so obvious that it passed
