The funniest thing for years hap
pened in New Orleans last week, when
it was discovered that some 1900 feet
of pipe, part of the heating appa-
ratus of the new Court and Prison
Building, besides large amount of
plumbing fixtures, had been stolen.
1t appears that the building was being
carried away in pieces and had not the
demolishing process been discovered,
ministers of justice as well as the
prisoners might soon have found them
selves out of doors

with haste and spirit for steadfast
resistance.

of his talk was applauded, but when he
asked ''for what do you educate your
girls, finely furnish your homes and
give them social pleasure?" which he
answered 'to make them marriage
able" there was storm of Kisses and
expressions of disgust and protests

of manuscript, presumably along the
same lines. Three hundred delegates

Kansas came into the mouth OF
May with the DoSJ promising crop
prospects that were ever known az
this season Of the year The wheat
on almost million acres is waving IN
the wind from a foot IN two feet high,
with plenty OF moisture in the ground,
and perfect crop conditions on nearly
every acre or the entire area. Nothing
adverse has happened to the crop SO
lar this year. There are no deStIuc!-
i've insects In the fields. There has
been no winter killing, and no damage
10 the plant from any other cause, and
Kansas now mas a prospect Of raising
! more than 100 million bushels Of
wheat-h0w much more no One will
ever know even II the crop should
maintain to maturity It's present per-
feet condition, for, when crop esti-
mates reach such high figures the
crop reporter has TO stop short for
want OF a credulous public to believe
him Kansas at this present moment
promises to rival the yield per acre OF
the Observation-Disclosures fields OF
England, where an average crop Is
about thirty bushels to the acre. Kan
sas has a record-official-Of twenty
two bushels per acre over the entire
wheat area OF the state and IL Is per-
haps injudlcious to expect anything
better than that, but all the same II
there should be no setback In the crop

smash all its former records, both 10

ductiOD. The biggest wheat crop Kan
sas ever raised was "a million bushels
in 1892. That was the official estimate,
but those who know something Of the
immense amount NJ wheat that was
shipped out Of the state that year have
always believed that the crop was 100
million bushels. There are nearly a
million more acres Of wheat now than
in 1892 and the conditions are dner
| No one ever saw such a vast extent
Of wheat In perfect condition as
Is to be found 10 Kansas this year.
The greatest wheat cnnniy In Kansas

probably not an equal area anywhere
In the world excepting, possibly, IN
the northwest, where single farms are
thousands nf acres in extent, that has
as large a Dronnrtion Of its local ca

What splendid type o. tire'ess ac-
tivity is the sun as the psalmist de-
scrioes it issu ng like "a bridegroom
nom his chamber and rejoicing like
strong man to run race" Every
man ought to rise In the morning re
freshed by slumber and renewed by
rest, eager for the struggle of the day
But how rarely this is so. Most
people rise still unrefreshed. and
dreading the strain Of the days labors
The cause of this is deficient vitality
and behind this lies deficient supply
of pure, rich blood, and an inadquate
nourishment Of the body. There is
nothing that will give man strength
and energy, as will DR.. Pieree's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t does this by
increasing the quantity and quality Of
the blood suppy. This nourishes the
nerves. feeds the brain. builds up en-
feebled organs. and gives that sense
of strength and power which makes
the struggle of life Joy. The good
feeling" which follows the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" is not due
TO stimulation as il contains no alco-
hol, whiskey or other intoxicant 1t
does not brace up the body, but builds
it up into condition of sound health.

SUNNY WOMEN.

Who has not known the woman whose
disposition Is described by that one word
rsunny?r There's always laugh Turk
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are evr
ready to dimple in smiles. Her house
hold influence is as frightening and
stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing
can be crueler than to have this sunshine
blotted out by disease. But this i. a
common cruelty. The young wife who
was the sunshine of the home becomes
its shadow. Every young wife should
know the value Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription in the protection and pres
ervation Of the health. II promotes
regularity, dries the drains which enfee-
bic body and mind, and cures inhamna-
ton, liberation and female weakness.
It nourishes the nervous system and
gives to the body the balance and buoy
ancy Of perfect health. 1t is a strictly
temperance medicine.
