STOPPED TRAIN FOR MATCH.
Experience of a Mail Clerk Who
Had Work He Couldn't Do
in the Dark.

81 noticed in the paper the other
day." observed an old railway postal
clerk, according to the Sioux City
Journal, ''the story of how the cap
tain of the little gasoline boat that
left here for up the Missouri had to
come back overland for 40 mites for
repair that cost him only ten cents,
but which was just as necessary as
If it cost the price of the whole en-
CINE. 1 recalled to my mind ar ex-
perience 1 once had on the run be-
tween here and Missouri Valley, on
the Sioux City & Pacific, illustrating
how much may hang upon something
ordinarily quite insignificant. Be-
tween Whiting and Onawa one night
gust of wind blew out every lamp
in the mail car, which, of course,
made it impossible for me to work,
and 1 had considerable to do yet 10
tie up Onawa's mail. [ put my hand
in my pocket to get a match, but
couldn't find any. Something had to
be done quickly, and all there was
left for me to do was to pull the bell
cord and signal the engine to stop.
The conductor, brakeman and some
of the passengers came running to
the head of the train to learn what
was the matter. The darkness in my
car suggested that perhaps there had
been hold-up and robbery of the
mail; but when / called to the con-
ductor to give me match, it relieved
his anxiety, but it did not entirely re-
store his good humor. L lit my lamps
again and had my mail ready when
we reached Onawa. Since that time
1 am especially careful to see that I
have an ample match supply"

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by
the friends of M. A. Hogarty, of Lex
ington, KY, when they saw he was
turning yellow. His skin slowly
changed color, also his eyes, and he
suffered terribly. His malady was
yellow jaundice. He was treated by
the best doctors, but without benefit.
Then he was advised to try Electric
Bitters, the wonderful stomach and
liver remedy, and he writes: "After
taking two bottles | was wholly
cured" A trial proves it's matches

BROKEN BRIC-A-BRAS

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cen.eilG.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other Ccments for which similar
claims are made, hit a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufac rers do not use them, be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one OF
the elements of his cement costs So. Is pound,
and another 81 IS gallon, while large share
OF the SO-caled cemontS and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue,
dissolved in water citric acid, and, in some
cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap ;..d useless materials.
Majors Cement rctails at Is cents and %
cents bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a
substitute you can depend upon 1t that his
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma
jor's advertising, which now amounts to over
S., 900 month. throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1916.

An Animal That Plays the Part OF
Drum Major of the Mule Train
In BOerIand.

The most energetic and peace-de-
stroying feature of army life in the
Transvaal is the mule train, and the
most necessary member of this outfit is
the bell horse.
This animal leads the caravan and In
the drum major of the whole outfit.
He carries no burden save a great re-
sponsibiity and a clear-sounding bell.
All mules destined to serve her majesty
are trained to follow the bell horse. A
white animal is nearly invariably Sc
lected, as for some reason or other
mules follow this color most faithfully.
Pack mules become very much at
tached to the bell horse of their train
and refuse to move either forward or
backward if he is not leading. For this
reason the greatest calamity that can
befa1 an army is the death of the bell
horse. On one occasion of the Indian
frontier wars the whole mule train
came to sudden standstill owing to
the death Of the bell horse. Nor would
anything induce the animals to move
till one of the officers substituted an
other white horse in the dead ones
place. On seeing, as they thought, their
old favorite In his place once more all
the mules moved forward to greet him,
and only by driving the fraudulent bell
horse forward quicker than the mules
could follow was the deception kept up,

to an article by Prof. Hacker, OF Min
nesota, published in Hoard's Dairy
man of June Is, in which he takes is
sue with the professor and gives some

Hacker instanced Jersey cow which
consumed food to the value Of $17.89
and produced butter at cost of $40
cents per pound, and Holstein which
consumed food to the value of $31.56
and produced butter at a cost of 6.O6

The Dairyman, also, further created
the impression that the Jersey was
considerably in the lead.
However, Mr.. Daggett has prepared
