OSTRICH LOGIC.

rWhen l can't see danger there is no
danger" That's the logic of the ostrich
which hides its head and exposes its
body to the hunter. There are not a
few people who seem to have gone to
the ostrich to learn logic. The most
dangerous enemies of humanity are the
enemies which can't be seen, the disease
breeding microbes which infect the
blood. 1t is harder to get the nicrobe
out of the blood than to keep it out, but

On the invitation of Mr.. Oofty Swipes,
the gentlemanly barkeep, of 500 Main
street, who apologized for the rough
house put up on us a few days ago, we
went back there last night and was re-
ceived very cordial. We was setting
there with Editor Borem, of the Collier
vile Star, and some other gentlemen,
who was strangers to us, playing, a
friendly game of craps, when Borem
clapped his hands on his pockets and
yelled ont that he had been robbed OF

ct popped in and wanted to arrest us
for being Bunco Bill, an escaped con-
vict from Oklahoma. We never had as
much trouble in our lives. We was
searched, and the cop thought Borem
was wanted for disorderly conduct in
Pinch; and both of us was about to be
steered of to Jail, when one of the gen.
tlemen present picked the policeman q

him, and we lit out the back way. II

The GraphOphOue's Increasing Uses.

The increasing nse Of the graphic.
phone recrd as q means of communica.
tion is again brought to public notice
Salt Lake, Utah, Tribune, which re-
lates, among other instances, the cir
cumstance of the receipt by o. B. Olsen,
of that city, OF graphophone message
from his brother in Norway, whom he
had not seen for more than twenty
years. The message carried with it
not only the usual fraternal greetings
and good wishes, but came in the we'll
remembered tones Of his brothers vice.
The record contained mue ehinformation
from Mr.. Olsen's old home aud is cheers
ished by the recipient as one of the
most.highly priced Of his possessions. !.
TIE graphophone has become q rec.
oghfzed medium of exchange of com
munications and is coming largely into
use by enteprising business men who
do not hesitate to adopt new methods
when it is shown that they are improve
ments upon the old ways. Tothis class
of men the argument that ''this method
has been IN use for generations and is
therefore good enough" carries no con-
viction. One might with equal reason
maintain that because he has been in
Jail for three months he should remain
there three years, or the remainder of
his life.
Another field which the graphophone
has invaded 10 that of the court report.
er. In Los Angeles, California, the
transcribing of court records has been
revolutionized by the graphophone.
Formerly when a reporter finished his
work in court there were many hun
dreds of pages OF shorthand notes to be
Transcribed. Until recently, the attor-
neys of the court would, perforce, be
content with transcript q week or ten
days after the testimony had been tax
en-. As the result OF the installation OF
four graphophones in the Office used by
the court reporters, copies of the pro-
ceedings can be delivered to applicants
within an hour after conrt adiourns, if
it should be necessary to do so, and
under any circumstances within, say,
three hours. To newspaper work the
new system is shown to be almost in
valuable, as in cases where Political
| speeches or other addresses are " aRted
for publication verbatim, repQrt can
be delivered at the; newspaper office
within an hour after the speaker has
closed his address. The shorthand
notes are dictated to the graphophones.
AS soon as one cylinder is filled, which
4 usually takes about five minutes, it is
,tgiven to typewriter operator who
transcribes it, the reporter meanwhile
debating to another cylinder.

High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
incessantly with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demandsIof business, the wants Of the
family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The trst effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in q
weakened or debilitated condition oi
the nervous system, which results IL
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is whai
will sustain the SYSTEM, give yigor anG
tone to the nerves, and keep the, e,diges
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge
We can recommend Hood Sarsaparillf
for this purpose. 1t acts on all the vi
tai organs, builds up the whole system
and fits men and women for these high
pressure days.

Mr.. President, there has been for
many years regretable tendency to
belittle the states, to enfeeble their

jurisdiction and bestow IL upon the

Mr.. Belmont did not seem at all dis

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, sin
what way are Chamberlain's stomach

answer is: They are easier and moro
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reli&ble, as they can
be depended upon. Then they cleanse
and inyigorate the stomach and leave
the bowels in natural condition, while
pills are more harsh in effect and their
use is often followed by constipation.
