The Raw Food Habit.

Just now the raw food diet threatens
to become a fad, Certainly many PES
pie are experimenting with the new d.
etic idea. 1t woul1 be far better for the
average man or woman to adopt an
absolutely raw diet, and eat everything
which he could possibly eat or relish In
perfectly raw state, than to swallow
into his stomach the horrible messea
which are concocted by the average
cook. 1t Is safer. on tke whole, for
man to take his food as he finds 1t In
It's natural state than to take 1t asshe
finds It on the table OF the average
boarding house or hotel. In other
words, 1t Is safer for man to take his
food straight from the hands of his
Maker than from the hands ola French
cook.-Good Health.

"Why like a church," he asked, with
some amusement.
Because one Of the best sermons

Then he watched her as she went
from one bed of mignonette to anoth-
er, looking eagerly for the choicest
sprays, holding them up to him with
wistful, eager face and sweet, pathet-
ic eyes.
'Will this do, and this?" she asked
as simply as child. ooh, Raoui, hope

In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared. and Sir Raoul was lsft
in the pleasaunce. alone.
"a man might lay down his life FOR

what was almost q sigh.

| Looking up, the earl could not but
confess that he had seldom seen a
lovelier picture than his young wife at
that moment presented, with flush
on her face, and her hands flied with
sprays of fragrant mignonetts.
She would not reveal her hesitation.
| but went straight to him, smiling so
that he little guessed how her heart
beat. He raised his eyebrows as she
drew nearer to him. What was going
TO happen? Before he had time to
speak his face was buried in soft,
dewy mass of fragrant mignonette.
"Therew said laughing voice. ,"You
said this morning that this was your

She glanced at him, her beautiful face
full Of perplexity; she had gathered a
crimson carnation, and was holding 1t
between her slender fingers

She was silent for some minutes,
and the crimson leaves OF the Glove
carnation fell one by one to the ground.
II do not like speaking of It," she
began. "You must see. Raoul, as well
as / do-you must understand. How
could any one help despising and dis

She thought again.
"I think" she replied, even more

Cskiscate Deer.

Game Warden Bowers went to Car
rsngton today to look after the car
casses of twodeer shipped in to the
market at that place since the expira-
tion of the game law. The penalty
for this is cOnfiscation with proceeds
40 60 to the chief,varden and certain
deputies Last week five deer were
shipped in to Minet and confscated.
1t is supposed thata good deal sof lille
gal killingeof deer is going on in the
western part Of the state and along
the Missouri river. and that Ruford is
a point from where the deer are
shipped.
There are plenty Of deer yet left in
the hills west OF the river and on the
Missouri flats, but unless the game
laws are sbservsd the number of the
animals will rapidly diminish from
the increasing lunlber of hunters and
better weapons of slaughter.

A .kaosby' Show +.

The company which gave "Knobs O.
Tennessee" last night went west in a
special car on a freight train. How
such an aggregation of dramatic stars
ever got together at one time is mys-
terry, and how they continue together
shrOuds them in still further gloom.
There were climaxes, rifles, murders
and situations enough in the play to
suit the taste of the most exacting
coon hunter in the south. The play
was advertised as a melodrama but it
was OF the funny kind, with the fun
in the wrong place. But the actors
worked hard to please and did the best
they could.
For the information OF the public
it is fair to say that the management
of the opera house tried hard to can
Gel the date, after learning more Of
the show, but without success. The
play has been presented in good houses
in the east, which was one reason for
da, ing it here. But after leaving Chi
cago or ST. Paul the personel of some
attractions is changed and cheaper
people substituted for the western
tour. In this case the entire Walker
circuit was misled the same as the
management here.

To Owners Of Stock.

l desire to call the attention of all
owners Of driving and draught horses,
now that the winter season is upon
us, to the fact Of the frosted bit.
Great pain and suffering are caused
and needlessly-by putting the bit,
while still frosted, directly into the
mouth of a horse.
Ifanyone has any doubts as to the
effect, would suggest that he DEM
onstrate upon himself by placing his
tongue firmly upon the blade of an
axe or hatchet, for instance, that has
been exposed sufficiently long to be-
come thoroughly frosted and note the
result-renewing the process daily for
one week. Many horse has to en-
dure this day after day, until eating,
especially of hay, is absolute tor
ture.
To prevent all this, place the bit for
a little while prior to the time of us
ling in cold water and all the frost will
thus be drawn out. know there are
some humane drivers who take such
needed precautions, but many never
do.
Have care, too, that your stables
are well lighted. and the stalls kept
dry and clean, with ample litter. See
to it that your cattle and horses are
not exposed to the cold winds and
storms for lack of shelter.
| An old hay stack or straw pile will
prove the best material, am told, Of
which to construct shed. A few
poles, some brush-the material is Of
