A Misleadinu AGENT,

Chicago Chronicle-D Democrat: A Boer
representative recently in this country,
Dieprink, has reported to his fellow coun-
trymen at Johannesburg that President
Roosevelt has promised farms on the In
dian reservation to Boer immigrants If a
sufficient number combine to bring their
families here to settle.
1t Is absurd to suppose that President
Roosevelt made any promise Of special
favor to Boer immigrants. y
The public lands are under the control
Of laws which know no discrimination
among applicants for their use. It is not
within the power OF the federal executive
to make or modify those laws.
Dieprink may be honest in a desire to
transplant colonies, of the sturdy Afrikan-
der Dutch to the United States. His hon
esty Is open to suspicion IL he has at
tempted to organize a movement to this
country on the spurious assurance of spe-
cial favor in the procurement Of farms.

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Bridgeport, Wash, Oct. 2O.-Rheu-
nlatism and Kidney Trouble seem to be
the prevailing ailmenis1 u this territory
and particularly in Douglas County.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been introduced.
1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but a short time on the mar
ket, dt has already worked many Won
derful cures. aas h
One of the most striking Of these Is
that of MI. John Higgins, who for O
long time suffered with Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble. The pains of
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and lie
could get nothing to do him any good
TIL he heard Of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with 1t in these
words: @ IN -
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done.more
for my Rheumatism and Kidney. Trou-
BILE than anything else 1 have ever
used. There is more virtue in them
than in any. other medicine and I will
always highly recommend them to all
of my friends" III -

THE PLAN is A SIMPLE ONE.
How the Kerosene Soaked Brick Should
Be Used.

How the kerosene-Soaked Brick Should
Be Used.
New York Tribune: There Is no patent
on the method of using oil-soaked bricks,
and one can get the required fuel for a
few cents. Any soft, porous brick will do,
but the best for the purpose is terracotta
hollow brick, Of the kind that has been
used for years to line ceilings and for
partitions. Glazed or painted brick will
not serve the purpose at all, for to be Of
use in burning oil the brick must be por-
Gus enough to permit the oil to soak into
it readily. The brick must be of a size
to go into the firebox of the stove and rest
on the CRATE. r...4r
Such a brick is placed in a shallow dish
half full Of ordinary kerosene oil and al
lowed to soak about half a minute. When
one side Of the brick is AXE in that
way, the brick is turned over, to allow
the other side to soak. If it is q hollow
brick it can be handled with tongs or a
stove poker without soiling the fingers.
AS soon as the brick is soaked it is placed
In the stove and lighted with a match.
The brick will throw out a flame for
nearly an hour, emitting enough heat to
boil water n cook a dinner for a small
family: The oil consumed at one burning
costs 0 a cent when oil Is selling re-
tail at II cents a gallon.
To heat a room in which there Is an open
crate some oil-soaked bricks can be placed
In the crate and lighted. There is no dan
ger of explosions when the oil Is burned
in that way. The burning oil throws off
no offensive smoke or odor. The fame
of an oil-soaked brick can be e~xtinguished
by dropping the brick into a pail of water.
After being in the. water the brick can
be soaked in oil and lighted again.
With a relay of bricks and a kerosene
bath, a kitchen stove could be kept going
all day without much trouble and at small
cost. Probably a small family could do
all the necessary cooking and heat the
living room comfortably for a whole day
by using oil-soaked bricks in the stove
for less money than it would take to buy
one pail Of coal, that would last only an
hour or two. af -. '
A precaution that would suggest itself
to any sensible person is to set fire to
the brick Immediately after it has been
soaked and placed In a stove or in a
CRATE. To permit an oil-siaked brick to
remain a long time in a stove without
burning would allow the escape Of fumes,
which, collected in a irebox, might ex-
plode when a match was applied. For the
same reason, kerosene oil should not be
kept standing long in an open dish in a
close room. @ # g..

Madame DtAngou and Ballard Tucker

every time she pushed it back with her

It was a serious discussion. u Ar

High Honors o Winchester Guns.

The reputation of the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Co., New Haven, Conn,
the largest manufacturers of guns and
ammunition in the world, stands as high
abroad as in this country, as is evidenced
by the fact that most of the crowned
heads Of Europe place orders with them
for their hunting outfits. The last addi-
ton to the long list Of potentates to favor
the Winchester Company with his pat
ronage is King Oscar Of Sweden. He
was SO pleased with the guns made for
him by this great company that, without
solicitation upon their part, he appointed
them gunmakers to His Majesty.
