a Tale of Twins.

A well known college professor has a
twin brother who is a clergyman.
Both have written books. They look 50
much alike tha it takes someone who
knows them intimately to tell who is
who.
Since boyhOod," the clergyman once
told the writer, I'VE have been con-
stantly the subject of mistaken
identity. The likeness seemed to grow
stronger as we left boyhood behind.
We both wore glasses, we trimmed our
boards alike and combed our hair in
the same fashion. We were constantly
together. Like other boys we had our
frequent fights and yet there was a
bond of sympathy ard affection which
grew stronger year by year. We used
one textbook, studying from it to-
gether, or one learning from the other s
recitation. We entered college to-
gether, and when we graduated the
percentage of difference in our stand
ing was thirty-seven hundredths of one
per cent. We later entered a thologi-
can seminary to prepare for the minis
try. We settled in parishes only nine
miles apart, and when we exchanged

RAILROAD IN GERMAN AFRICA.
II Is Running in Region That Was
Called Worthless Twenty Years Ago.
New York Sum-

New YORK SUM-
The Germans have just opened 40 miles
of their railroad in German Southwest
Africa. The completed part of the line
over which passengers ana lfelSht at e
how carried, extends from the mouth OF
the IWakop river to Karibib. The sum of
S714 900 has been appropriated to complete
the line to Windhoek, the capital or the
colony. AS soon as the entire line IS com
pleted it is intended that two freight
trains shall be run each day, one eacn
way; there will be two passenger trans
weekly. Twenty-eight double engines ana
four single engines will be provided Tor
the line. The single engines are needed
chiefly to help the trains up the steep
grades among the inland mountains.
AS the climate is very hot the, passen-
ger cars are built with a particular view
travellers. They are protected by sun
shades, dark glass and window screens.
The seats in every car may be turned
into mattresses by an invention similar 20
ithat in our sleeping cars.
The fact that German Southwest Africa
is now the home of far more white men,
women and children than all the other
German colonies together shows the folly
of proclaiming a region to be utterly
worthless before anyone has taken the
trouble to ascertain its real economic
value. There was a great hue and cry
in Germany when the government acqulr-
ed thisI large territory for no one could
see what Germany would ever be able to
make of the rainleSS region of sand and
barrens. But appearances We're deceptive
False conclusions wele drawn from the
belt of sand about 10 miles wide along the
coast and the zone of barren steppe be
hind it from 10 to 80 miles wide. Back OF
this worthless region, however, rises ia
bleland to a height of over 5000 feet above
the sea with many mountains lifting their
heads several thousand feet higher. In
the valleys among these mountains the
climate is excellent and many Europeans
crops may be raised around the springs
where the farmers get water for their
fields. Cattle raising is also destined to
be a large business and the mineral re-
sources are very important.
The prospects of the colony are now re
garded as so excellent that the German
government authorizes the organization
of bands of colonists, including women
and children, to go out and occupy the
country. AS it was evident that the in
terror settlements could not be developed
to their full extent until railroads Were
provided the era of railroad building has
begun; and the first line soon to be com
pleted will connect the most populous dis
trict Of the country with the sea.

THINGS WE
LIKE BEST
Why is it They so Seldom
Agree With Us?

What's the reason the things we like
best SO seldom seem to agree with us?
Maybe it's because we overeat of them.
Then follows a fit of indigestion.
Only lasts day or two perhaps. But
it's a most uncomfortable day or two.
We don't mean to abuse our StOmachs
but we all do it more or less. We see
things we want and can't resist
the longing for them. When it's too
late we regret our rashness. But
there's way to escape the conSe-
quences Of such indiscretions. A dose
of a good digestant like KOdOl Dys-
pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach is too weak
to digest what you eat. 1t needs rest.
You can't rest it by going without
food. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest it.
1t does the stomach's work. In the
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength. Before long it will be
as strong as ever. You don't have to
diet. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will di-
gest any kind Of wholesome food.

his work shows that he has taken the
West to his heart. His first literary
work was done on school papers at st.
Pa.ul's and at Harvard. Ill health led
him to Western ranches in Texas,
Arizona. Wyoming. The spirit OF the
West crept into his veins, and after he
was strong and well he still went back
again and again to ranch life and to
his cowboy friends. Gradually he be-

fascination of the work made him turn
his back upon the legal profession for
which he had fitted himself.

ing high tariff shall be substantially
interfered with in any effort to limit
the operations of the monopolies.
The congressional elections can be
depended upon to decide between the
right of such a position and the right
of the position occupied by Gov. Lind,
in common with all enlightened Demo-
Gratis and most enlightened Repub-
licans, in every state west Of the ALLIE
ghany mountains-that the tariff is the
shield of the trusts, and that there can
be no effective trust policy which
does not involve the removal or the Sc
rious modification Of the existing tariff
on the products controlled by the
trusts. That will be the issue gener-
ally throughout the Northwest, and 1t
will be peculiarly so in the contest in
the Fifth congressional district of Min
nesota. The man who votes in that
contest for Mr.. Fletcher avows himself
a high protectionist. He exercises his
franchise for the preservation of the
existing tariff and he makes himself
the ally of the dangerous organizations
which have secured so tight a hold
upon the most of the industries of the
American people.

A Rather In His Room.

Every time John Prentice rolls over
in bed at night a big rattlesnake lifts its
ugly head and burr-r-rs, and some night
there promises to be battle between
the two.
Ten days ago Prentice first heard the
warning burr-r-r of the rattle in his
shack. He is an old Westerner and
dwells on the bank of the Columbia, half
a mile from Kennewick and just across
the river from Pasco.
His cabin is a one-room affair in the
midst of a wild, sparsely settled sage
brush country, and Is piled high on one
side with plumber gathered from the river
Here are dozens Of heavy boxes and other
articles which would take half day to
drag out.
Prentice heard the RATHER, looked twice
at the boxes, and then decided not to
interfere with the intruder ensconsed be-
hind the mass of rubbish. He shifted his
bed q little and gave up half his house to
the snake. The rattlesnake burr-r-rs at
every move Prentice makes, but the
nervy Westerner pays little attention to
1t.
On one side of the shack-dwelIer as he
sleeps is big shotgun and on the other
a bottle of approved snake bite. "If
see that snake first, heaven help him."
remarked Prentice, yesterday. "If he
gets on me first here's the snake bite.

FLETCHER VS.. LIND.

The victory of Congressman Fletcher
over his Republican opponents is COM
plete. The vote cast, too, indicates
that Mr.. Fletcher is the clear choice of
the Republican voters of Hennepin
county as their candidate for election.
The two men who contested with Mr..
Fletcher are leading representative Re
publicans, and his defeat by any one of
them could not be regarded rightfully
as involving any serious reflection
upon his personal or political standing.
The result of the balloting shows that
his vote is not very far from the aggre-
gate vote cast for Messrs. Hay and Pc
terson.
Democrats in Hennepin county and
elsewhere In the state would rather
have had as the opponent of the Hon.
John Lind a man who was capable of
debating with that gentleman the pub
lie issues which divide the two parties
in the approaching congressional elec-
ton. This Mr.. Fletcher cannot do.
He describes himself as a business man
III POllIISo, o1iO 11OI d pTOI6SSlOIdI pol

But the contest between Gov. Lind
and Congressman Fletcher will be both
interesting and valuable, notwithstand-
ing that Mr.. Fletcher will have to de-
pend upon his newspaper organs to
make the defense of his and his par
tvs position in national questions
which the campaign of Gov. Lind will
make necessary.
Even on the admissions of Mr..
Fletcher's principal newspaper organ.
the Republican voters of the city of
Minneapolis unite with their brethren
throughout the state, without regard to
party, in the demand for tariff revision.
He and they see the national adminis-
tration of Mr. Fletcher's party forced
day by day, through the insistence Of
public sentiment in the Northwestern
states, into facing the necessity of re-
vising the existing tariff. The position
of Mr.. Fletcher on this score may be
likened to that of Speaker Henderson,
who processes great opposition to the
