CURING A PRACTICAL JOKER.
Tricky Aunt Fixes Plot With Her
 Nephew, But Turns Tables.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 'T never indulge the practical joke habit" said gentleman who is visit -Ag the city, "and have good req son for taking no sort of stock in such things. There was a time in my life when l was fond of playing pranks, and I have turned some clever tricks along this line. But it has been sev- eral years since 1 made my last eff fort. I was living in a small town up in Arkansas, and at the time was boarding with an aunt, who was even fonder of practical joke than I was. Along about Christmas time young man came out to the town in which lived to spend some time with friends. He was a dudish sort of a fel- low and was just at that period of life when the gold watch and chain he wore impressed him as being the most important thing in the world.
 My aunt was quick to perceive his weakness. She matched plot. was to into his bedroom and steal the watLN and chain after he had fallen asleep. The night was fixed, and my friend retired about 10 o'clock. He always hung his vest, which contained his watch and valuables, on the bed post at the head of the bed. My aunt knew just exactly where I could find it, and about 10:30 slipped stealNlily into the room, found the vest and be- gan to rife the pockets. My friend raised up quickly as he ran his hand under his pillow. Bang! Bang! Bangi I was shot. I was shot three times with the revolver pressed almost against my breast. I could feel the holes in my back Where, the bullets had come out, and ,ne blood was trick ling down my spinal column. My aunt came rushing into the room. My God!' 1 said. .Auntie, I'm shot
 "She got the camphor bottle. told her the bullets had passed clear through me, and had rolled down into my shoes. They could stand it no longer, and, to my amazement, my aunt and my friend broke out in per feet spasm of laughter, and by degrees the real situation dawned on me. My friend had expected my visit. He had extracted the iead from three cart ridges in the pistol, at the suggestion of my aunt. and had turned the tables on me. Since lnat time I have played no jokes."

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes and when it reaches tho lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with 1t to keep the Ares of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life; you fail that much to keep up ibe needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This ac- counts for the life-giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iron, and to do that 1t is to restore the full Bodybuilding power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar life-quickening func- tion; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron Is lacking. Vigor and strength returns just as surely when this element is restored. pr. Harters Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because it con- tains the particular oiood-malxing and strongth-giving form of iron that the sys- riches the blood, 1t increases the activity of the stomach. liver and kidneys. It overcomes nerviousness and builds up vi- tality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-five years. Prepared only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

The World VIII Never Know, Perhaps.

From the London News Paris Telegram.
 curious auto-da-fe of private papers has been performed by a judge of the Civil Tribunal in court. The papers were those of the late Comtesse de Castig- lione whose beauty. talent, social infiu- ence and wealth made her one of the leading figures of France under the Sec ond Empire, and who died a few months ago at an advanced age. When she be- came aware perhaps some thirty years ago that her beauty was fading. she with drew from society and dropped out of sight completely, being utterly forgotten. She was still wealthy, but she lived as if she had been poor. She had not even servant When her health began to fail she informed nobody, and she died with out medical assistance. Among her pa pers were found masses of private letters some of hem certainly from Napoleon the Third, whose friend she was. In her will she alluded to her letters, stating that in another will she would direct how they were to be disposed of. This second will has not been found, and the executor ap- piled to the law courts. The judge de- cided that he would examine them him self In presence of the executors, he examined them one by one, burned the greater number. and handed the rest back to the executors for distribution among the relatives.

These dan delions, properly washed and boiled with bit of pork, bacon or corned beef. form a tidbI. of meal for the families of the gatherers. Frequently the old women have a chance to sell their harvest to some early visitor who, as he sees them gathering the dandelions, recalls with something of delight-now that they are passed the days when he, too, had just such a meal at his home in the country. So he buys a mess at good round price. to see if they will taste in the days when he himself picked greens" on the farm.

THE CURES EMBRACE
THE DRAWING OF LOTS.
Departments Plan for AlIottIne Land
 To Settlers Generally Approved.

From the Washington Star.
 Thousands of communications concern ing the opening of the Kiowa and other lands in Oklahoma pour in upon the act ing secretary of the interior, the assis- tant attorney general for the department of the interior and the commissioner of the general land office. The letters indi- cate that, as rule, interested persons approve of the plan tentatively agreed upon by the Department of the Interior. and which will be presented to the Presi- dent as a suggestion, for his guidance. that the lands be selected by settlers by drawing or casting of lots. A minister of the gospel is among those who advocate a drawing. He prefers 1t to horse race, especially where the race has no better 5umpire than the discarded idea that might makes right"
 It has interested the officials to not how this minister anticipates and answers a criticism which might be made in some quarters to the effect that a drawing would be sort of lottery and objection able to those who do not believe in any thing which savers of chance.
 After pointing out that by this plan the unsuccessful applicant pays nothing and the successful applicant only gets an opportunity to earn the land by fully com plying with the law in the matter of pay ment, residence, cultivation and improve ment, the minister summons the Bible to hia support and shows that the casting or drawing of lots was resorted to in dis tributng the land of Canaan and in de- ternining whether Matthias or Joseph, called Barsabus, should become an apos- tie.
 Willis Van Devanter, assistant attorney general for the Interior Department. points out that in other instances the drawing of lots as means of decision or selection is given high recognition. Two candidates receiving an equal number of votes at an election are often required to cast lots for the office. A tie vote was recently decided In this manner in Mas sachusetts. By the constitutions of Ar kansas. Colorado. Missouri and Ohio the Judges of the Supreme Court first elected were required to cast ints 10 determine which should be chief justice and so de- termine each judges term of office.
