American people. These animals, yer tebrates like ourselves, have unerring ap- petites and thirst, and twenty eight hours, as under the present bill, Is far too long, especially under trying transportation conditions, to make them go without food and water. To increase the time to forty hours will involve an added torture which,
 If reduced to intelligible expression, would shock the conscience of the world. How outrageously mean and cowardly to treat these noble, gentle beings this way, only because they are voteless, voiceless, de- fenceless. They give their lives that we may live more abundantly, and now an avaricious cattleinterest proposes, through the sanction of congress, to add torture to sacrifice"

The Rose.

At all times the rose has enjoyed pe- culiar favor as sacred flower. Mo- hammedan tradition says that when Saladin captured Jerusalem he refused to enter the shrine of the temple which had been converted into church by the Crusaders till the walls had been thoroughly cleansed and purified with rosewater. A similar story is told of the Church of St. Sophia, at Constanti- nople. when transformed from Chris tian place of worship to a Moham- medan mosque. The origin of the rose, according to Moslem tradition, is that the blood of the prophet sprang into new life in this glorious crimson flow CT. To this day when Turk sees rose lying on the ground he will raise it tenderly, kiss it reverently and de- posit the frail blossom in some place of safety.

 "Oh, you merely have hopes. Is that it? We'll, some of the rest of us also have hopes."
 I swear never minded how it sound ed till George began to curse way down in his throat. After that was in no mood to explain. So it chanced that when he asked, with fine sarcasm, if intended to marry Miss Dolly my self I told him fatly that I did. A fool does such things just to be con trary.

 "You see, Brown, Miss Dolly is not the wearer of the pink rose in spite of your declarations"
 Dolly glanced up quickly, and I met her eyes squarely. We had been play mates, Dolly and I. not so many years before. remember she told me once that she liked my brown eyes; that they were Ikea horses, dumb mirrors that revealed my every feeling. Now. as she looked at me, she must have seen something in those same eyes. for she smiled reassuringly.

Startling proof of wonderful advance in medicine is given by druggist G. w. Roberts of Elizabeth, w. Va. An old man there had long suffered with what good doctors pronounced incurable can cancer. They believed his case hopeless till he used Electric Bitters and applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which treatment completely cured him. When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts it's matchless healing power, blood diseases, skin eruptions, ul- cers and sores vanish.

We were at reception one evening, and I was smoking on the front veranda, when he came out for q whiff of air. We fell to talking of some of the ladies-that is, George talked, and I agreed between puffs of my cigar. Presently he remarked in an offhand manner:
 " "Deucedly fine girl, that Miss Dolly Maytony'

 After awhile he repeated his remark, and l again agreed without great en- thusiasm. This seemed to make him mgry. ..

 He snorted indignantly. "That's her sister with the rose, you fool"
 Now, George irritates me. Other peo- pie call me fool, and l don't mind it in the least, but George always sneers in fashion that suggests I lack even more than brains. On this occasion decided to irritate George.

What He Came For.

A learned judge who was one of the guests at dinner was unexpectedly called upon to reply to toast. Recov' ering somewhat from his surprise, he said that his situation reminded him of the story of man who fell into the water while he was fishing.
 With no little difficulty he was res cued, and, after he had regained hia breath and was in a fairly comforta ble condition, his rescuer asked him how he came to fall into the water.
 'T did not come to fall into the wa ter," replied the unfortunate fisherman "I came to fish,"

est little cat as our Dick. He not
only never stole himself, but he
would not allow any other cat to
steal if he could help it. The dear
little fellow, however, was strongly
tempted once and came very near to
losing his good name.
One day the cook carried out pail
of nice little frostfsh' and set it
down in the yard. Dick was there.
Dick always was near by when there
were good things. to eat. The cook
went back into the house, and Dick
sat down to wait for her return, and
two Of his especial friends were at
the window upstairs, looking down
to see what ''honest little Dick"
would do.
The cook was a long time coming
back to dress the fish, and, all the
while Dick kept watch, now on the
pail, now on the kitchen door. At
last he went somewhat nearer to the
pail, then nearer, then nearer. All,
frostfish smell so good! Dicks lit
tie nose almost touched them, and
then he sat down and cried at the
top Of his voice for cook to return
quickly and save him from becom-
ing thief.
Still she did NOT como Al lac+
Dick put his fore paws on the edge
Of the pail. Then he looked at the
kitchen door and cried again. But
the door did not open. So slowly,
softly paw reached down into the
pail. But before it had gone as far
down as the fish it came back with a
jerk empty, and its owner ran
around the corner of the house,
where he would not see or smell
those nice frostfsh any more. He
did not want to be a thief, and we
believe that the little fellow never
came so near it again.-Little Folks.
