Opened A Law Office.

Castor Oil Kimball, the self-styled
colonel, whose political record would
smut the ace of spades, has opened a
law office here. Old Kimball is a po-
litical acrobat and 1ops from one par
ty to another with a dexterity surpris-
ing to the inhabitants of Grant valley.
He has been a Republican, a Demo
GRAFT, a Populist, a Socialist, an Anar-
chist and a Mennonite, and is think
ing OF re-enterlng the Republic can par
ty, but it is likely he will not be al
lowed TODD so until almost election
time. He is no lawyer and the man
who pays old Kimball a fee is simply
blowing his dough against a super
fiuous abundance of nothing. We
frequently do a little law business
ourselves and would be please d to az
commodate our friends in chat line.

Come Again, Mike.

Moonshine Mike, the inveterate law
breaker and defrauder of the internal
revenues, and who operates an illicit
still somewhere in the foothills, came
into u Office today and presented us
with a two-gallon jug OF real, genuine
moonshine whisky. which we sampled
and found to be of a real Kentucky
variety. Mike has been in the busl-
ness a long time and operates mostly
among the natives, who consume a
greater part of his mountain dew.
Mike is rather looked down upon by
the Sunday school. but to say the
least he is a kind and generous soul if
he does furnish fire water for the
rural braves and Injuries society
with his bug juice. Thanks, Mike;
come again.

Philadelphia LIS Slow


In a restaurant two French men sat
ut luncheon. When their salad was
brought it had a peculiar appearance.
There lay upon each plate a dark
green bud that in shape resembled
a closed water lily, though it was
much larger. The Frenclfnen tore Off,
one at a time, the leaves OF the buds,
dipped them in an amber-cOlot'e Zee sauce
and sucked the ends as one sucks as
paragus. And when the leaves were
gone, white cores, about three lncneS
long and an inch thick, remained, ana
these the men ate entirely, with NCtle
EXPLANATIONS of pleasure. TWO young
women at a neighboring table had
their attention attracted by the
Frenchmen's outcries, and n ot
them said: '"Those things are cactus
buds. You don't often see them
served in Philadelphia But the 9th
er rejoined: ooh, no, my dear; not
cactus buds-French a~rtichokes."
And an argument arose which the
waiter was called ON finally to settle
'"They are French artichokes," SAID
the waiter. Very fine. Do you la,
dies wish to be served with some!
We very rarely have them, for they
are scarce. philadelphia Record.

A M arvelous Incident.

There was a marvellous incident
took place in this section yesterday.
The train ran over a tramp at Cass-
vile and cut both his legs off and he
bled to death. Doctors were called
afterward and said they could do no
thing for the man, and as a last resort
q Christian Scientist came along and
said to the dead tramp, 'You are not
dead; get up" Then the dead tramp
said, Chow in Sam Hill can l walk or
get up with both of my legs on the
other side of the right-of-way?" Then
the Christian Scientist said, "Your
legs are not off" and the dead tramp
got up and walked off down the Bur-
lington lack, happyas was Lazarus
when he came forth from the tomb.

A young lady living in the suburbs

from intangible calf's infancy you

The Ultimate End OF The watch.

by countless importations.
81 never was able TO answer the
question:" said the manufacturer. NO
body in the trade ever tries to. We
find that the life of a watch is but five
years, yet if you will stop fifty men
and ask how long they have carried
their watches forty-nine of them Will
say they have only had one watch in
their entire lives.
1--WE cannot explain the disappear
ance of watches. They do not go into
the ash bins. / remember when the
New Jersey watch factories closed
that in ten years we could not find one
of their watches anywhere. They had
disappeared off the face Of the earth,
vet millions had been made. Look at
the key watches. Up to some twenty
years ago we made nothing else. In
that twenty years these millions and
millions of key winding watches have
disappeared, and the question asked
unremittingly, What becomes of the
watches? remains unanswered to this

water for the household uses of the

in Persian towns is the tea seller. He

other of tea. His cups are in tray,
which is fastened to his belt. He cries
in a singsong tone: Hot teal Sweet

BaIzac and Black Coffee.

Balzac was addicted to the use OF
strong black coffee and depended upon
it as a nervous stimulant during the
hours which he devoted to compost

"The coffee falls into your stomach.
Immediately everything starts into ac-

Fine Flour and Teeth.

Why do colored people as rule have
such splendid teeth? Mostly because
they have lived on coarse food, which
made demands on the teeth. People
as a rule now do not want to do any
chewing. They demand meat which
is so tender that it will melt in
the mouth, etc. Nature, prodigal as
she is, never bestows anything where
1t is not used, and the result is that
the civilized races are losing their
teeth. If the style continues to forbid
our teeth to do any grinding, our prog
eny of, say, 1902 A. D. will be born
toothless or with only rudimentary
teeth. AS individuals we cannot grow
good teeth in our heads by eating
coarse food. We are beginning to get
bad teeth by heredity. But there Is
almost no tooth or bone forming ma
terial in fine white -four, and the avoid
ance of coarse foods undoubtedly has
tens the decaying Of our teeth. Per-
baps the millers and the dentists are
in a secret league to work for mutual
interests. Who knows?

PInnfa md GrnNitntiOn.

The sense of gravitation in plants is
that sense, for example, that makes
pine tree grow straight upward. n
plant that curves assumes that position
because its sense of gravitation makes
It take the one best suited to its needs.
Some flower stalks are very curiously
guided by the gravitation sense. The
narcissus is an example. At first there
is a straight shaft piercing the ground
with its compact pointed flower bud,
but as the flower opens the stalk bends
close to the top and brings the flower
tube into a roughly horizontal position,
where it shows off its bright colorcd
crown to attract the insects, on the
visits of which it depends for fertiliza-
ton. The flowers are guided to the
right position by the gravitation sense,
and they increase or diminish the an
gular bend in their stalk until the
right position is attained.

The singing Mouse.

The power of song among the brute
creation has so long been associated
in our minds with the feathered tribe
alone that we do not think of it as be-

Yet there is Il mouse that sings-why,
nobody knows. 1t is "A small animal,
with very large ears, which are moved
about much while singing, as II that
were necessary to the success OF the
vocal performance. The song Is not,
as you think, prolonged squeak with
variations. but succession Of clear
warbling notes. with trills, not unlike
the song Of a canary, ana quite as
beautiful. though some of the notes
are much lower. One great peculiarity
is sort of double song, an air with
accompaniment quite subdued. upon
first hearing this one believes that he
Is listening to more than one mouse

The skin.

Bathing TO many persons is a term
embodying an expenditure of time ana

because they do not cleanse the skin
until it gives visible signs Of its needs.
Now. the skin is everlastingly throw

always see with the naked eye, but
which will be readily found in the ap-
Dearance of the bath water even when
one bathes each day. When you can
wear white collar Il few hours with
out marring its spotlessness where 1t
comes in contact with the skin, you
may have some excuse for thinking
that you are perfectly clean and not

pores for drainage purposes, and IN

A glacier when it dislodSes itself
and sails away over the Arctic ocean
never travels alone. In the wake OF
every large one floats Il line Of smaller
companions.
The Eskimos call this phenomenon
"the duck and ducklings," and any
one who has watched the progress OF
the elder duck followed by her brood
will appreciate the aptitude OF the
name.
Strange as it may seem, plants grow
and blossom upon these great ice
mountains. When glacier is ut rest,
moss attaches itself to it, protecting
the ice beneath, just as sawdust does.
After n time the moss decays ana
forms soil, in which the seeds OF
buttercups and dandelions. brought by
the wind. take root and flourish.
Those who have Travelled in arctic
lands say they have found no point
yet where the poppy does not bloom
during the brief northern summer.
