THE VANITY OF LIFE.
FOOD for Meditation Afforded by Death
of NorfoIk'S Son.

of NorfoIk's Son.
What food for meditation on the van
ity of all human greatness is afforded
ey the death of Philip Joseph Mary
Howard, only son of the Duke of Nor
folk. The heir of the greatest noble
man in the world, entitled to quarter
on his shield the arms of half the roy
al houses of Europe, with lineage
stretching back almost to the days
when cameleopards and tigers still
bounded in the Flavian amphitheater,"
and with vast wealth to support his
hereditary honors, this young man, for
whose health of body and mind pill
grimages had been made, high heaven
importuned by the prayers of thou
sands, lived and died an imbecile from
his birth, the CHASTITY family skele-
tom of Arundel castle. Heir of that
Surrey who united all the gallantry
and unbroken spirit of a rude age with
all the elegance and grace of a pol
rshed era" he wandered darkling" in
the world for twenty-three years to
die and prove the application of the
motto of his princely house, set under
the white horse of the Saxon, the
winged crest of the Norseman and the
lion Ct England in his arms, Virtue
alone is invincible.'

What a Good Name Does.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 11th.-Mr. VAIL
berg of 222 South Peoria ST., this
city, had for years been an invalid
with liver complaint and kidney trou-
BILE which was fast fastening him to
the grave. The Doctors gave him up
and his friends and neighbors all de-
clared he could not live.
His brother came from Minneapolis
to see him before he died and in
quiz ed if he had tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
On being told that this remedy had
not been used he went out at once
md bought a box, feeling satisfied
from what he knew of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and the noble work they had
been doing in Minnesota, that they
would save his brothers life.
The first two days Mr. Vah1berg
seemed to grow worse, but after that
he gradually improved under the
treatment and was soon restored to
complete good health.

Raising Porkers.
(Madisonian.)


For a permanent industry year in and
year out the Madisonian believes that
the raising of swine by the small ranch
man and small farmer Is one of the most
profitable of the ranch or farm.
1t has been proven that the climate
of Montana Is healthy for the swine
family.
1t is a great country for the produc-
ton of alfalfa, peas and barley, and
that Is all that Is necessary to insure
success. That is to say, these are the
only natural advantages that are neces-
sary.
Many believe that the hog is a crea-
ture of the corn belt, and that the only
sweet juicy pork comes from the corn
country
-nls Is simply a mistaken idea and
should not be harbored by progressive
Montanan.
Corn is certainly or rather has been,
great factor in the production of pork,
but it does not follow that it is the
only factor.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1.-THE Post IN
telligeneer in a special dispatch from
Unalaska says that no more startling
action was taken in the much talked OF
sealing question than the following let
ter written by J. w. Ivy OF Alaska
to his deputy at Unalaska:
II am advised that British vessels
from Canadian ports engaged In pelagic
sealing about Bering sea are in the
habit of calling at Unalaska and Dutch
Harbor for protection in bad weather and
the purchase of supplies and of enjoying
the privileges of the port until the sea-
sons open for them to engage in the
unlawful and barbarous determination OF
the fur herd in violation of the laws OF
the United States and the international
agreement with Great Britain.
Until further advised on the subject
you are instructed to cease the collection
of tonnage duties on this class of vessels
from all countries and to refuse then
the privilege of the pot water or fue
and treat them in all respects as yes
seis engaged in illegal poaching.
Amy such vessel arriving at your Dor
| shall be notified to depart forthwith, ant
| in case of refusal to obey promptly
| you shall seize and delay such vessels
| and call the United States Marsha
| and revenue cutter to your assistance.
Should you find, after personal ex

in absolute distress, you will allow he
to obtain such relief only as will ALLOW
