THREE WIDOWS OF KANSAS.
Model Husband, the others
Equivocate.

A short time ago Mrs. Lydia Peach,
of Alton, Kan, published the follow
ing notice in the Empire, the local
newspaper:
'Mr. Editor-Please print this let
ter to quiet the storm raised by some
half-idiot who has been telling that l
was going to be married, and by sew
eral smart Alexis who have made it
their business to ask my boys about

bosh. l want it understood that when
I want a husband l won't ask the
community to select one for me. l
consider myself fully capable of de-
Gliding that question to suit myself"
Mrs. A. Connolly, an bingham
widow, annoyed by the village talk,
that she was bent on a second mar
riage venture, caused this notice to
be published in the New Leaf, her
county paper: when I get ready to
be married 1 will tell the noseys all
about it, but in the meantime they
had better keep out of it, as it is
none of their business"
Mrs. Emily Frier, a widow living at
Russell, Kan, wanted a husband, and,
according to her advertisement, this
kind of husband: 1.-THE man l want

chew tobacco. I don't want a bumped
over old man ready to tumble into
the grave. am quite a small widow,
and I want quite a small man. I
want him to love me, and call me
honey, and want him to make a
living. I don't want to have to take

colt found he could not even protest
effectually, his sense of humor came
to his relief, and the fastidious man
of cultivated extravaganza stalked
home laughing, the next day, with two
pair of useless corsets in exchange for
his matchless songs.

TO PROVE HIS BRAVERY.
Big Man with Weak Heart I"AeS
Home Drawn Tooth to Show
How Nevy He Is.

A dentist congratulated a young
woman on the pluck with which she
had undergone an operation in dental
surgery, says the Pluta Record, and
added:
"But women always have more forth
tude than men when it comes to the
treatment of the teeth. There's Mrs.
Blank. for instance, thin, pale, nerv-
Gus creature. 1 pulled four of her
back teeth the other day, and she
didn't make the smallest whimper, but
her husband came to me little later
and he, a shx-foot Hercules of man,
howled like a Comanche while l pulled
a molar for him, and after the job was
over he tainted dead away. When he
came to he said:
"'Give me the tooth, doctor.
"Why?' said 1.
"'To take home to my wife, to prove
to her that had it pulled. She said L
wasn't brave enough
81 had thrown the tooth in box
with lot of others, and, Of course, L
couldn't identify it, but picked out
one that might have been it, and the
man put it in his vest pocket and went
home"
The Drying of Figs.
After figs have been collected they
are dipped in boiling brine and then
dried on trays for from two to four
days, according to the weather. The
dipping is supposed to bring the sugar
to the surface and hasten the drying.
After being dried the figs are placed
in Sweat boxes" holding 200 pounds
each, where they remain for two
weeks. Then they are washed in cold
salt water, to remove all dirt, and are
packed by women and girls in half
pound, one-pound and ten-pound
boxes, in layers, being split preiim-
inarily with short-bladed knife.

NJ. Sven Hedin has discovered Sec

bet, a vast lake so impregnated with
salt that indigenous life is out of the
question. 1t was impossible for him
to get his boat close to the shore, so
that he and his companions had to

she would float, and this was sufficient
to bring a thick coating of salt on
their legs and clothes. The entire bed
of the lake appeared to consist of

There is no poison so highly contagious,

too sure you are cured because all external
signs of the disease have disappeared, and

4 Novel Motor Pow

A novel. if not entirely new. method
of obtaining power has been proposed
by Dr. o. ZimmeTmann Of Ludwigs-
hafen, on the Rhine. His scheme is
to take advantage of the difference in
dilation of liQuits between the TEN
perature limits of freezing and boil
ing. This difference in water is ~
per cent. The doctor explains his ideas
fully in a p0mphlet publisher by the
firm of r OIdenburg, of Munich. in
which he points out how hydraulic
lifts, pumping engines. and even ma
rine engines might lie constructed Oh
his plan. for which he ha, secured
German patents, but the th.Eg most
important to demOnst "te in such q
case is its pTacticability and this. per

cation on an extensive scale.-Phi.Q-

FIRE IN LUk8ER YARDS.

The East End Fire department was
called Wednesday morning TO SEQ
field mill at Central Park, where Tor
several hours they had lively work in
getting under control a fierce fire
raging in the lumber piles.
The fire started in the lumber OF the
Eddy * GIynn Lumber company, OF
Saginaw, Mich, and was confined to
that property. Some 100000 feet OF
No and Gull lumber was destroyed,
valued at Il 600 fully covered by in
surance.
The inflamable nature of the lumber
caused it to spread rapidly, and the
higE wind which was blowing at the
time caust d the fire to fly TO great
distance from the piles where the de-
partments We're working, and on sew

Superior Shows Material Gain
During Past Yeal

The new city directory just com
pleted shows an increase OF about
1000 inhabitants in the city for the
past year. THIS is very gratifying,
considering the low rates and induce
ments held out by railroads for people
TO go further west.
This increase means a jump of 3 per
cent i'll the number of people residing
i'll the city. Figuring on the decade,
it means an increase OF thirty per
cent if the average of three per cent
each year is maintained. But thirty
percent is much more than the aver
age of the increase of most cities in
the United States and therefore the
increase of three per cent since the
gratifying and is so considered in
most quarters.
The problem is whether Superior, or
any other city, will ever be able to
make such a percentage of increase

and a fractional percentage was the
way the town grew in the ten years

NORTGaaED NATIONS.



IN South America a great many of
the South American republics are
owned b. MO-ey-!euders and capital
lists. says GuLt9u's Magazine. Conces-
sions after concessions have been
granted to corporations and foreign
governments for loans advanced. Rail
roads. mining privileges. and revenues
from nearly all taxable goods have
been pledged. The ease by which
money is sQEandered by the govern
ments Of the South American repub-
lies makes many of the smaller ones
chronicaIIy hard up, and no sooner
does one revolution dispose OF a min
istry and president than another move
ment TO negotiate new loan begins.
in many cases private corporations
ami capitalists have more to say in the
government of the small South Am
erican republics than the presidents or
their cabinets. Virtually owning ev-
erything of real value in the country,
it is only natural that they should de-
mand controlling voice in the man
agement of affairs that concern their
interests Thus the Argentine repub-
lie has practically been sold over to
the auctiOneer. and her finances are so
involved that an expert could never
straigateu them out. The ministers do
not attempt to do they are salts
fed to raise more money by mOrtgag-
ing other property and industries of
the country if in need of funds for
special purposes. Argentina owes over
$500 COOS 600. and every chance she gets
it asks for rev loans. Already her
mines, railroads. and other natural re-
sources are pledged, and it seems
doubtful if anything valuable can be
found to hand over as security for new
loans. There is not much attempt to
pay the interest on this debt, and the
country is satisfied if the creditors CON
tent themselves with seizing few
more miles of territory to call the mat
ter even.

A NOBLE WORK IN ASHLAND

Rev. a l.. Tull, pastor of the First
NJ. r church at Ashland, accom-
plished work in that city during
this year that is a wonder to all the
ago he was sent to that church and
found a debt of over FIVE thousand
dollars upon it, for which the church
was about to be sold, and a discOur
aged people who were about to con-
sent to its sale Immediately he had
the church and parsonage painted at
his own expense, and then planned
a vigorous campaign to raise the mon
ey to pay the Indebtedness. With
untiring tact and energy he set about
his work and pursued his object re
lentlessly until this whole amount,
nearly six thousand dollars, was all
pledged, then collected and put into
the bank. Not one dollar of debt now
rests upon this beautiful church
property. You ask how it was done?
Neither pastor nor people can tell
YOU. They asked as if God was to do
it all-they worked az if they were to
do it all Their faith was shown by
their works.

will overcome difficulties III Gods
