Observations
....at Random

Officer Emil Gourieux likes to tell
OF the time he cured Auditor Alex
Kirkland:of chills. He::was then a bar.
tender, and Auditor Kirkland was a
merchant down on Second street.
Mr.. Kirkland often had chills, and Mr..
Gourieux felt sorry for him. One day
Mr.. Kirkland entered the saloon, shak-
ing like an aspen leaf, and asked for
. drink Of water. He never drank
anything else, and Mr. Gourieux, see
ing that he was having it out with
another chill, said:
~ know you don't drink, but let
me fix you up drink that will cure
that chill I'll make 1t right, and will
guarantee you will never have an
other"
WELL" finally consented the alb
stemious merchant, whose sufferings
were great enough to induce him to
do most anything. "go ahead and I'll
do it."
A lemonade glass was taken and
filled with Scotch whiskey, little
stick gin, some bitters, wine and few
other things that brought 1t to the
rim. A little cinnamon was sprinkled
on and with a touch Of hot water, the
merchant was made to drink it down.
He returned to his office, and about
an hour later Mr.. Gourieux dropped
in to see how his patient was getting.
He found him unconscious, but that
he had no chill. Auditor Kirkland
admits that he has never had another
chill to this day.
Clerk Adams of the Palmer, says
that things go wrong oftener than
they go otherwise, and Clerk Adams
has rubbed up against things and peo-
pie long enough to know. The other
day he sent for some Of his household
goods and they were packed and ship
ped from Jacksonville, Ill, his former
home. One piece was large rack,
with a fine mirror. 1t was carefully
packed in order to afford the glass all
necessary protection, and came in
good shape. 1t stood the bum ping and
jolting and sudden stops and starts of
the freight trains well, and escaped
injury when it was loaded into and
out of the car. II was loaded onto a
wagon here and taken to his home,
and just as it was being taken into
the house the carefully tended mirror
was demolished by careless driver
who accidentally stuck something
through it.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-"Mr.

way Senator Hanna began his speech
at the Sons OF the American revo-
luton banquet, Friday night. He
came to be sworn in, he said, but
after hearing the creed Of the So

President Roosevelt, he felt he must
stay on the probation list a little
longer.

"for on my fathers side my ances

win Drill for Crude Oil.

The people Of Ireland, small
town west Of Jasper, are excited
over the prospects Of finding oil,
and perhaps gas, in paying guam
titles. A few years ago an earth
quake caused the waters on a farm
near that town to become so heavily
charged with crude oil that the cat.
tie would not drink il. The oil
finally disappeared. Another man
says that his we'll became SO charged
with oil that he could not use the
water from it, and for time be
thought enemies were pouring kerr
osene down the pump. He after
ward found that oil stood on the toT
OF the water to the depth Of two in
ches. The people have organized
stock company and will sink q wei
at once. Davies Co. Democrat.

How often in our busy life
We speak bitter word;
We care not who the listeners are,
We care not where It's heard.
We do not know within our heart
To what it may amount,
And truly, it is only one
OF Little Things That Count.
We often wound the trusting heart
By being insincere.
We do not think that which we do
May cause a lonely tear.
We give it but passing thought,
And bother not about
The Little Things that rise and cause
The trusting heart to doubt.
We often wrong within ourself
The ones who love us true,
Because they tell us OF fault;
We're all impatient, too,
And do not down the angry words
That to our lips may mount.
But watch and wait It's only one
Of Little Things That Count.
How often from our very heart
We let our anger rise,
And never mind the pleading looks
That come from soulful eyes;
We crush we bruise in PASSIONS hour,
And scorn the falling tear;
Little Things, oh, Little Things,
What sorrow wrought you here!
You count, oh yes, you Little Things,
You count, but not for gain;
You count to sadden trusting hearts,
You count for nought but pain.
You count as clouds in some ones sky,
You darken some ones day;
o cruel little deeds and words
We can't undo, unsayl
Then ever speak the kindly word
Instead of one Of pride
Twill Danish SORROW from soul,
And anger turn aside.
The loving word and deed and glance
Are borne on angel wings,
And angel voices echo true:
Be kind in Little Things

TERRIBLE NEW EXPLOSIVE.
Said to Be Capable of Destroying Any
Warship.

New York. Aug. IA new time fuse
for use on armor-piercing shells loaded
with n recently discovered secret eX-
plosive of great power. has been In
vented by war department ordnance
experts and will. according to dis
patch from Washington, revolutionize
foreign warship building.
Tests of the explosive and fuse have
been made, and so long as tho United
States government holds the secret,
foreign battleships either must double
their steel walls or be as wooden
'frigates against the new destroyer.
General Crozier, chief of ordnance, is
quoted as having said that test Of
the new explosive had been conducted
with evident success at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. that the shell
carried It's contents through the thick
est armor, and that the fuse lived long
enough to have exploded in the inter-
ior Of ship of war. The greatest pen
etration secured was that of shell
fired from twelve-inch gun. 1t pierced
fourteen-inch Krupp armor before de-
tonation. The heaviest shield now In
use is said to be only twelve inches

Daniel Cronin versus the city OF Den
yer.
Cronin Is the owner OF n saloon and
opened n wine room for women. The
record shows that he asked for an In
junction to restrain the city from ell
forcing an ordinance prohibiting the
maintenance of such a place for fe-
males. asserting that the law is uncon-
stitutionnl because 1t discriminates
against women, and also because 1t de-
prlves him OF property without due pro
cess OF law. He contcnded that he had
ms much right TO sell liquor to women
ms to men. and that they have us much
right to drink as men. He also re-.
ferred to the circumstances that equal
suffrage prevails In Colorado. and ar
gued that since women had been given
the right Of suffrage they stand on the
same footing in all respects with men.
and hence '.are entitled to the pursuit
of happiness and the same rational en-
joyment as their brothers" The DIS
trict Court upheld this contention. but
