Memory, Not Mystery.

Memory can play the strangest Of
tricks" says specialist, "and it is
responsible for not few superstitious
fears In sensitive people.
"a lady once told me that she found
herself at times in places where her
surroundings seemed to have been
known to her before, though she knew
that she had never been there pre-
viously.
Probably you will recognize this ex-
perience, which is common enough.
How many people, when reading or
listening to a conversation. become
vaguely conscious that they have read
the passage or heard the identical
words in the dim, long pastp
at is not a haunting mystery, but
just way that memory has. In
Vulnerable impressions of the most
trivial things are stored IN the brain
and will come out when called upon.
In the lady's case she had probably
seen a picture Of the scene at some
time. and a view Of the actual place
produced memory's feeble effort to re-
call It."

Meats frozen and kept In cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes in the ordinary sense-that is,
they do not putrefy, soften or smell
bad-but they certainly do deteriorate
in some intangible way. After a GER
tain time frozen meat loses some life
principle essential to its nourishing
quality. Such meat lacks flavor; it is
not well digested or assimilated. Its
savorless condition cannot be remedied
or successfully disguised by the use of
sauces and condiments.
Those who eat cold storage food for
any length of time develop diarrheal
disorders, lose in weight and would
eventually starve to death unless q
change of diet was made. The same
reasoning applies to timed fruits and
vegetables. They should not be used
after certain period has elapsed.
Especially should people be warned
against using stale eggs and old milk
and cream. Milk and cream are kept
for days, rancid butter is washed and
treated chemically, but all food, and
especially cold storage food, is dam
aged by long keeping, and will not
nourish the body properly. There is
the greatest abundance of food, but 1t
does not satisfy.-Sanitary Record.

MANS UPS AND DOWNS.

One who had found the world all bright
Fell by the wayside on a day.
But hope bent down and kissed his cheek
And babe him rise and go his way.
He toiled in hungry loneliness;
The friends he knew in former days
Forgot, somehow, to seek him out
Or help him on with words of praise.
The weary years dragged slowly by;
One morning fame stood at his do0,
And lined up in an anxious row
We're all the friends he'd known before.
So failure or success attends
The man who loses or who wins,
That he may know where friendship ends
And where self interest begins.

INSECT DRUNKARDS
Bees, Flies and ButterRfes That Get
Dizzy and Fall Like
Human TOpers.

Yes, humble bees, flies. butterflies
and beetles are habitual drunkards. If
the statements of n certain Dr. Weir
are to be believed. He found that in
some Of the southern states these in
sects alight On certain plants. drink
heartily from the calixes Of the bios
SONS, fall PROSTATE on the ground,
and after awhile rise into the air and
fly around like mad, just as drunken
men would do If they could fly DR..
Weir then collected the pollen OF these
plants. half a teaspoonful, to see
whether it would affect man in the
same way. He swallowed this and
after Is minutes found that his pulse
beat faster and there was a slight rise
In the temperature of his body Then
he gathered the blossoms, distilled
them in water and administered q
hypodermic injection in his left arm.
Almost Immediately the pulse was ac-
CELEBRATED and after half hour he
felt decidedly dizzy BY this observa-
ton of the insects DR.. Weir was led
to the discovery of an oil In these
plants. affecting man and insect alike.

CAPTIVE FOX CUBS
The ehArD-Nosed Youngsters Took
Kindly to PettinG, Bat Refused
to Learn Tricks.

They were delightful and amusing
creatures, their ears ever alert. their
bright eyes always on the lookout,
and their sharp little noses shifting the
air eagerly, gays Our Animal Friends.
So precisely alike were they, from tip
of nose to tip of tail. that not even their
owners could tell the one from the
other. They took kindly to petting
and fondling. but firmly though gen.
tly refused to learn any tricks whatso-
ever. Very soon they had the run Of
the whole house; patter, patter went
the little feet; scrasch, rap, rap, if q
door were shut, and the two bright
eyed little rascals did not have to wait
long for admittance The next step
was to the lounge or bed, where they
cuddled close among the soft pillows
with great satisfaction. If ever dis
lodged. they protested vigorously with
tooth and claws, and sharp little bark
that said as plain as words. No, no, no.
Alas, even baby foxes cannot always
stay babies. Box and Cox were with
out doubt growing, and their powers
OF mischief grew also. a breakfast

max OF long succession of nisdeeds.
They were restored to their native
peaks, where they could find a warm
land sheltered burrow, and as foxes eat
field mice. grasshoppers and crickets
they were In no danger Of starving.

al district, composed of Barton, Rice

wood Tuesday the 18th, pursuant to
CALL. c. F. Diffenbacher was made

Good Enough For him.

Here IS the latest story on the man
who is too stingy to take his home
paper: "a man who was too economi.
cal to take his home paper, sent his
little boy to borrow the copy taken by
his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran
over a 81 stand of bees. and in ten
minutes looked like q warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father,
who ran to his assistance, and failing to
notice barbed wire fence, ran into
that, breaking it down. cutting hand
full of flesh from his anatomy and ruin
ing 81 pair of pants. The old COW
took advantage of the fence. ran into
the corn field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket. the
wife ran, upset four gallon churn full
of rich cream into a basket of kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In hel
hurry she dropped 81 set of teeth.
The baby, left alone. crawled through
the spilled milk and into the parlor
running brand new $40 carpet. Dur
ing the excitement the oldest daughter
ran away with the hired man; the dog
broke up eleven setting hens. and the
calves got out and chewed up four suits
of underwear

The gigantic postal frauds IN
Cuba, where the government has

thousands of dollars by republi-

has not got a monopoly OF all
the honesty of the land, if it has
of almost everything else.

An Eye to the Main Chance.

THIRTY years ago, when wheat,
potatoes, ETC., were $3.50 to
$500 per bushel, and clothing
and foOdstuffs and wages were
proportionately high, railroads
made money and extended their
lines when getting 3 cents per
mile for passengers. Today,
with wheat, potatoes and other
foodstuffs, clothing and wages
from so to Is per cent. lower
than in those days, the railroads
still charge 3 cents per mile for
passage, though the cost OF
building cars, and material is, on
the whole much lower, and the
carrying capacity of cars and
trains more than double the
capacity of those of thirty years
ago, yet freight rate remains I'M
changed. 1t follows that the
net profits are proportionately
larger in recent years, and that
fact will explain why railroads
desire an administration that
protects trust, and upholds the
gold standard. Public owner.

GEO. B. Ross, is the democrat
and populist nominee for state
senator to succeed Senator John
Armstrong who has filled that
office for two successive terms.
Mr.. Ross is an able, energetic,
wide-awake farmer and stock
raiser, having a ranch near AL
den, Rice county. He is is a gen.
tleman who no man has a word
against; is honorable, conscien-
tious and open in all his dealings.
He will stoop to no subterfuge,
will do nothing underhanded or
shady to secure his election; and
if elected he will be found firm for
the right in all matters of legis-
lation thatmay come before him.
He is a strong Bryan man, and
his greatest desire is that our
next president shall be tina t
great champion of the common
people, and that, if possible, a
house and senate in accord with
the democratic president ma
also be elected, SO that the coun-
try may be again safely steered
clear OF the threatening whirl-
pool of Imperialism, trust rule
and industrial slavery. Mr.. Ross
will try and become acquainted
with every voter in Barton and
Stafford counties (they all know
him in Rice) before the close OF
the CAMPAIGN.
