If North Dakota should ever be so I'M
fortunate as to have any more ex-Unlted
States senators-who have used "bitter
root" "snake-spit' or other catarrh or
influenza cures-if they'll let us know
what they are offered by the patent
medicine fakirs for personal endorsement
of merit, accompanied by life size photo
graph of the endorser-the people of this
will make up for the absence OF
pride in the states ex-representative by
raising a purse of sufficient size to over
bid the quacks and thus relieve our peo-
pie of the chagrin now caused by those
half page advertisements of what an ex-
senator from North Dakota had to say
about this cure'-for dyspepsia, piles
or 5oftening of the brain-as the case
MAY be-.

nue. rar conductor.
The tall. thin woman handed out 8
cents for herself and two youngsters.
.'Three cents more, please" reminded
the conductor.
"Thcy are twins" she explained,
land only equal to one child"
The conductor scratched his head
and tried to remember his instructions.
Evidently he. recollected nothing gov
erning twins; but, being something Of
a philosopher, he pondered and said:
"Twins are out of the ordinary, there
fore singular. Perhaps you're right,
and yet you spoke OF the twins as
they That's plural" and he gazed
around triumphantly.
The fat man nodded. He was a bach
elor and detested children.
"No," spoke up the comical man; "she
is right. They have only one birthday
between them. If they equaled two
children, they would have two birth
days."
81 guess that's So" acquiesced the
conductor. Anyway I'll look it up"
"They take up two Seats" growled
the fat man.
The conductor paused and forgot to
hand back 5 cents change. "Say," at
last he broke out, whats their
names?"
"Wilbur and Marie" replied the
mother pertly, failing to see the Delvet
trap she was walking into.
"Huh! Boy and girl, eh? Well, I'll
have to have another fare. You can
figure on boy twins equaling one boy,
but half a boy and half a girl don't add
up"
She paid.
"He's a diplomat" whispered the fat
man in admiration. "He ought to be

Blind Staggers In Sheen,

Blind staggers is due to Indigestion
and the result Of it on the brain. The
remedy Is to give an active purgative
to relieve the stomach, then give half
a level teaspoonful of bromide Of DO
tassium in a bran mash twice daily. 1t
is frequently an immediate relief to
bleed from the large vein in each ear,
cutting it carefully lengthwise. An eff
fective purgative in this case is two to
four ounces of epson salts dissolved
in half a pint Of water. To drench the
head and neck with cold water Is also
useful.

NAPOLEON'S EYE.

Power Over Men.
In 1887, while working in London as
q curate to the Rev. Canon Fleming, l
was called in my wears absence to adj
minister a religious service to an old
admiral in Eaton square. The admit
rails name was Eden. After the serv-
ice was over he took my hand and
said: "Shake hands with me, young
man.. There are not many alive who
can say what l car say. You are talk
ing with a man who has talked to Ma
poleon the Great" "Sir," I said, "that
Is history. May l hear more?" The
old admiral then told NJ that he was
once returning with the deet--1 think
from the West Indies, but of that 1 am
not sure-and touched at st. Helena.
The admiral said, 81 am going up to
Longwood to pay my respects to Napo-
leon, and the senior midshipman comes
with me-"
II was the senior midshipman," said
the old gentleman, land so I went. We
waited for Napoleon in an outer room,
and you must imagine how eagerly 1
expected his entrance. The door was
thrown open at last, and in he came.
He was short and fat and nothing very
attractive but for his eye. My word,
sir, l have never seen anything like it.
After speaking to the admiral he turn
ed to me, and then I understood for the
first time in my life what was the
meaning of the phrase, "A born ruler of
men, I had been taught to hate the
French as I hated the devil, but when
Napoleon looked at me there was such
power and majesty In his look that If
he had babe me lie down that he might
walk over me 1 would have done it at
once, English MILDLY though / was.
The look on Napoleon's face was the
revelation of the man and the explana-
ton of his power. He was born to
command"
Such was Admiral Eden's version to
me of an incident which at 90 years old
or ~thereabout seemed to him as fresh
as If it had happened only the day be-
fore.-Rev. John Rocker in London

illustrated. 1t is compiled and published
under the direction of E. j. Babcock,

The Dorset horned breed of sheep
has always been remarkable for fecun-
dity, but it is probable that a record
has been established In the parish OF
Cotleigh, Devon, where the first %
ewes in Mr.. H. N. Pope's flock have
produced 43 lambs, including one quar-.
tet, one triplet and 16 twins.

A Matter Too Often Neglected In

In an address delivered before the
Pennsylvania state board Of agricul-
ture on this subject O. W Broad read
said:
First have your colts looked to. as
500 as 2 years old, and as soonsas
they begin to shed their nippers in
front, if they do not come out them
selves as they should and are crowding
the new teeth out Of place, have them
pulled, as this will save lots of cribbing
horses later on; also have the molars
examined when they are beginning to
shed them, as the new n e crowd
them against the cheek or tongue, 'caus-
ing sores on both, and painful mastica-
ton is the result.
This branch of veterinary science has
been sadly neglected in the rural dis
tricts, and two-thirds of the diseases
Of the horse arise from painful masti-
cation and result in Indigestion from
the fact that the teeth become uneven,
with sharp points wearing in decayed
cavities, the outer edges become sharp
and turn against the cheeks, the inner
edges of the under teeth turning in and
cutting the tongue, causing sores on
cheek and tongue. This may be cured
by properly operating on the teeth, as

Do not overlook the feet and teeth,
as has been done in the past, as I am
positive they both have ~deteriorated In
the last 20 years, especially in our
standard bred horses. They are easy
to overlook, and In trying to bring
some other point or points to perfee-
ton, such as high knee action, good

parts of the horse are lost sight of, and

HE beautiful Annabel zee,
niece to Aunt Tabitha Sour

ed from college. The commencement
was a dream of poesy. The sweet
girls wore white gowns, simple white,
but they cost 800 apiece. The hair
dresser spent an hour over each girls
head, giving it exactly the right sau-
sagelilSe bulge over the forehead and
ears and making the hair hang about
the sausage bulge 50 as to look as If
it had not been combed for week.
This is true high art in hairdressing
at present. The graduates wore no
flowers, however. Flowers are out of
style this year for graduates-the
common people got to using them SO.
After all, Aunt Sourgrapes is rather
proud of Annabers prettiness as she
sits among her mates. They look like
angels in corsets and skin tight white
kid gloves of the costliest make. those

CLEANERS

HE appointment of Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer and Mrs. Horetio
n. May as inspectors OF
"a street cleaning in Chicago
establishes a precedent that
Will probably be followed in other
American cities. The official naming of
these two social leaders for such a post
was as graceful as their acceptance of
its duties and responsibilities. 1t was
the shrewd idea of Alderman julius
Goidzier that if some ladies prominent
in Cnicago's most fashionable and in
huential social circle would accept the
office of street cleaning inspector a gem
eral tidying up impulse would sweep
like a new broom through the highways
and byways Of the city. 1t was at Mr..
Goldzier's request that young Alder
man HOnore Palmer offered the place
to his mother, adding on his own part
the earnest wish that she accept it.
Mrs. May. the other lady inspector, is
the widow of a former city comptroller.
There will be active exertion attached
to the ladies' honors. They are to pass
in person through alleys and streets in
the fashionable districts in which they
live and note the bottles, old garments,
ancient shoes and tomato cans that
have not been objects of desire since
goats went out of fashion in Chicago.
Theirs Will be the odOrous task of look
ing into garbage boxes and ash cans.
They must see that householders pro-
vide themselves with the fashionable
style of galvanized iron ash pail. They
will inaugurate a crusade against past
ing advertising handbills on private
property and will see that street sweep
ing is not done in a slouchy. political
job way.
There is no doubt that the ladies will
be honest; there is no doubt that they
will be particular
Chicago will be all the more favora-
bly, inclined to this innovation for the
reason that the city has already had a.
brave object lesson as to the capabilfty
of women. not indeed in street inspec-
ton, but in the much more difficult and
practical field of actual street clean

which he did in 1897 At the end of a
year and a half SO business firms in her

mony of their appreciation of her serv-
ices. They said among other things
that the streets of their part of the city
