Death Results From Uraemic Poison
ing From Which He Had Suf-
fered for Few Days.
Heroic Efforts Were Made to Prolong
His Life but They Prove Of
No Avail.

Washington, Dec. S.--Ex-speaker
Thomas B. Reed. who has been i'll at
the Arlington for the past four days,
died few minutes after II O'Clock Sat
u1aday might.
Though he was conscious until
within about am hour of his death, his
mind was not clear and he passed away
without recognizing his wife and
daughter, who were at his bedside.
They were prepared for the sad event
by the statements of the physicians
early in the evening that there was lit
tile hope for the recovery of Mr.. Reed.
The change for the worse was first
noticeable Saturday morning, and in
spite OF heroic treatment of saline in
jections and the administering of oxy-
gen gas the patient failed to improve,
andit became apparent about 5 o'clock
i'm the evening that he could not re-
cover. .Uraemic coma, resulting from
uraenic poisoning, was the immediate
cause of death, but Mr.. Reeds illness
was t11acealble to chronic Bright's di-
sease, which was brought to the sur
face by an attack of appendicitis Tues
day night, and which later became
acute.

MOurners In Red.

/ There can be no doubt that in the
dark and part Of the middle ages red,
and not black. was the favorite mourn
ing color throughout Europe. Even
down to the end of the fifteenth cen
tury the change from blood red to
black was not complete, though black
cloaks were worn over red clothing. In
Abyssinia the mourning color is red
dish brown. In Turkey it is violet, a
color closely allied to red. 1t is Il curl
Gus fact that among the Maoris of New
Zealand red is the hue of sorrow. In
earlier times mourners daubed their
bodies with red juices when they fol-
lowed chief to his grave, apd even
the resting places of the bodies We're
also colored red .=.A

winter ways Of SQUIRRELS.

& Gray squirrels do not hibernate, but
seldom leave. their nests during the
very cold weather. On mild days in
winter, however, they come out and
race through the treetops and visit the
large stores Of nuts which they gath
cred and hid away. in the autumn.
Red squirrels are smaller. but much
harder creatures than the gray ones,
and, although they, too, have snug nests
OF. cedar bark in the hollow trees, they
use them only at night, for no weather
is SO severe as to keep these little fell
lows indoors. They are about the most
provident of all the creatures in the
woods, usually storing. away under
brush heaps, beneath fallen logs and in
hollow trunks far more nuts than they
can possibly eat in one winter. They
do not put them all In one place, as q
rule; they generally have severah boards
at some little distance apart. This is
a wise precaution, as it sometimes hap
pens that one store is discovered and
stolen by an. enemy, and unless there
was another supply to fall back upon
the squirrels might die Of starvation

STOCK RuSTLERs.

A dispatch from Steele says Stock
rustlng in this section in the past two
years has caused much annoyance and
less. A gang was routed out last year
and left for Canada. This fall several
head cf cattle have been sirilited away.
and, it was finally settled that they had
been driven off by someone who knew
the country. Last week it became
certain that i we'll known resident Of
an adjoining county must have had
knowledge of what was going on. An
intercepted letter to a man now in Jail
en- a minor charge was the first real
pointer. Deputy Sheriff G. M. Hoglle
1afs week went Ito Ashley, Mcintosh
county, to secure warrant for the ar
rest cf j., w. Arnett, who was slls-
pected of completely in the work of
rustling. The authorities there were
a'l<o On the lookout for the man. 1t is
said that there are more to be looked
up. H. Oxenrider lost about twenty
head this fall, and they were traced
seventy miles. Three head had been
dropped in the rush, and were recov-
cred. Developments are looked for

CANINE INTELLIGENCE.
A Dog That Felt He Had More Sense
Than His Master.


Than His Master.
My friend was staying one autumn
IL Wales. Smoking and chatting one
evening with a local farmer, the talk
fell upon dogs. The farmers sheep
dog lay before the fire, and the farmer,
instanced his sagacity. He made an
exclamation in Welsh. At once the dog
rose and went to the door. "You
might let him OUT said the farmer.
{" The sheep are in the corn is what /
said to him" The dog passed eagerly
out. In few minutes there was a
scratching at the door. The dog en-
tered painting and lay down at the fire
again. Shortly afterward the farmer
repeated his Welsh remark. Again
the dog ran to the door, and my friend
let him out Again in few minutes
was the scratching at the door, and
again he lay down before the fire pant
ing. After an interval the farmer re-
marked in Welsh, quite in the way of
conversation: 81 am not easy about
those sheep do believe they're in
the corn" The dog, without rising,
looked up at the farmer, gave two
sharp ayelps and turned round to his
sleep again He said as plainly as
though it had been in words: Don't
be fool. I've been out twice, and
ther're not in the corn London Out

An Old English Inn,

The Raven inn, an old hostelry at
Hook, near Basingstroke, England. was
built in 1868 and still retains its quaint
old half timbered work, overhanging
gables and small windows. The house
gained wide notoriety in the latter
part of the eighteenth century during
the American war Of independence
through being the residence and place
of capture of the famous Jack the
Painter" who reused the whole coun-
try in 1776 by his deliberate attempts
to fire drydocks and shipping. He sue
,ceeded at Portsmouth, where $500, 900
damage was done; also at Bristol, but
was foiled at Plymouth So great was
the scare that in response to a reward
of $500 offered by the government
for his capture the whole country was
on the alert, and he was run to earth
and captured in this interesting old
house and eventually hanged and glib
sbeted at Portsmouth. His real name
was James Aitken.

secondhand Book Habit.

-. 7 : Z
One Of the novel habits Of the pres
ent day is one that takes one to second
hand bookstores, says the Philadelphia
North American. Dealers in dissipated
libraries call it aptly enough the ssec-
ondhand book habit"
A clerk whose duty it is to stand at
the front Of the secondhand bookstore
and watch out for possible purchasers
is the one who first made note of this
queer habit, He noticed that the same
men and women were wont to stop and
cursorily inspect the same dusty vol
umes day after day, year in and year
out. They come every day-the same
old faces and they look over the same
old books, and they never say any,
thing, and they never buy anything,
and after awhile, when their time is
up, they 60 away as silently as they
came.

A WEAK HEART.
Hill Climbing or Stair Mounting
Will strengthen the Organ.

Hill Climbing or Stair Mounting
VIII Strengthen the Organ.
1T is not many years ago that the be-
lief prevailed that sufferer from
heart disease was in constant peril
whenever he moved and that the nearer
he approached absolute rest the better
it was for his heart This is still true
in respect to certain forms Of heart dis
ease-those dueSto actual disease or de-
generation of the heart muscles-but
when the disease is in the valves, as it
is in the maj jority Of cases, the modern
teaching is that properly regulated ex-
ercise is beneficial. This is founded
upon the common sense, view that the
heart is like other muscles in that it
can be strengthened by exercise to
meet increased calls upon it.
When the valves Of a pump get out
Of order, 1t requires greater force to
move a given quantity of water. If
this force can be applied, it will make
up for the defect in the valves The
same principle holds good in the case
Of the diseased heart; the valvular de-
feet must be made good 'compensa-
tion" is the medical term for this proc
ess-by increased strength in the heart
muscle.
The heart must be able not only to
meet the ordinary, everyday extra
strain this it does automatically, as it
were, by the unaided efforts Of nature
but It must be stronger than neces-
sary, just as it is in health, to meet
some extra strain caused By illness, a
sudden nervous shock or some abso-
lutely necessary exertion. It is evident
therefore, that diseased heart must
to assure the safety Of the patient be
strengthened beyond the requirements
Of quiet life.
This is accompli lished in various ways,
but none is better for the purpose than
hill climbing or stair climbing, the for
mer for pleasant days, the latter for
bad weather. The exercise should, of
course, be taken under the direction Of
a physician, for 1T can easily be over
done, in which case one of the bad con-
ditions against which it is the object
Of the exercise to provide will be arti-
fcially produced and the heart will be
overtaxed before it is strong enough to
Withstand the extra strain. Youths
