PRAIRIE DOGS ALL GOING.
The Destructive Rodents Have HAD
Their Day on the Plains Of
the Far West.

Passengers who have ridden the bet.
ter part of a day through western Ne.
braska and eastern Colorado will re.
member the prairie dog. He is numer-
Gus in that section of the country
He lives in. villages, and the villages
are as close together as the villages
of certain parts of Europe.
But the prairie dog has had his day.
The agricultural department says he
must go. Mr.. Wilson has decided that
the dogs kill the grass and ruin good
grazing land. "Tama Jim" has little
of the love OF picturesqueness in his
makeup. He is eminently practical
and his philanthropy is OF the type
which seeks to make two blades OF
grass grow instead of one. Therefore
he proposes to relegate the prairie
dog to the picture books and to the
stuffed specimens of the museum
along with the buffalo, says the Des
Moines News.
Mr.. Wilson's chemists have discov.
cred mixture which will make whole
villages fight for the first L.te, but
which at the last bteth like serpent
and stingeth like an adder. Under its
influence the hole that knows the
prairie dog will know it no more for
ever. The frisky, nervous, barking lit
tie beast will join the innumerable
caravan of prairie dogs who have gon.
before.
There will be more grass when tn.
prairie dog is gone, and therefore
more cattle. There will be less break
ing of the legs of cowboys ponies and
the rattlesnake will live alone in tn,
hole until the summons comes to him

Lord Raglan, undersecretary of state
for war, in an interview regarding the
serious trend of events in South Africa
the possibilities of peace and the action
the war office is taking to mend matters,
said:
'The condition of affairs in South AT.

cannot call it war, yet in some respects
it is worse than war. 1t is well nigh i'm
possible to fight in the ordinary way
against people who have no uniforms.
''Thc secret of the whole thing con
sists in horses. We have enough men
there. but not enough mounted men.
This is not due to the paucity of supply
sent out. but to the difficulty of accclma.
tizing the animals. The trouble Is that
fresh horses have been sent up the coun'
try before they were hardened to the
climate.
''The army is getting 5000 horses II
month now, and we are going to begin
to commander horses throughout the
disturbed regions. One would think the
Beers would prefer to get fair price
for their animals from the British to Civ
ing them up to General De Wet fol-
nothing. Personally | believe we should
have begun this plan before now.
"Whnt with depriving the Beers of
mounts and transforming all our men
into mobile bodies capable of pursuing
detached commandos we trust the com
mandos may be run to earth, although il
is arduous work.
"You cannot expect to end such n wal

and were aware that the continuance OF

the officials from any dealings with the

BURY LEPERS ALIVE.
The Victims Are Guests Mt Bnnqucts
That Precede Funerals
I'm China.

The Chinese have curiously cheer
full way of disposing of their lepers
The relatives of the afflicted persons
propose to him that they bury him
alive, and such is the fatalism of the
Chinese that the victim readily con-
sents. An elaborate meal is served
to him, in the way of farewell ban
quet, and then the funeral procession
forms. The man who is about to be
immured under the sod follows his own
coffin, and when he reaches the grave
he takes dose of laudanum, hops into
the box and settles down for eternity.
DR.. Wittenberg, writing on the sub
ject of leprosy in China, states that
the pure nerve form is the least coSn-
mon. In such cases, as is well known.
the patients may go on for years. AS
to the mixed form, it is fairly common
but 1t is difficult matter to estimate
the number of lepers in any given dis
trict.
The sufferers lead the common life
so long as they remain free from de-
| structive LESSONS. When these occur to
| any marked degree the leper is either
| segregated in hut or he is allowed to
wander about the country, sustaining
life by begging. DR.. Wittenberg re-
cords cases of direct contagion from
mother-in-law to daughter-in-law.

What we Eat is intended to nourish and
sustain us, but it must be dgested and as
simulated before it can do this. In other
words, the nouishment contained in food
must lie separated by the digestive organs
from the waste materials and must be carried
by the blood to all parts of the body. We
believe the reason for the great benefit which
so many people derive from Hoods Sarsa-
parlla lies in the fact that this medicine
gives good digestion and makes pure, rich
blood. 1t restores the functions of those
organs which convert food into nourshment
that gives strength to nerves and muscles.
1t also cures dyspep ia, Scrofula, salt 'heum,
bo'., sores, pimpleS and erupuons, catarrh,
rheumatism aud all diseases that have their
origin in impure booG.
