Gov. Charles b. Aycock of North
Carolina, in explaining political
proposition to an audience, told a
story OF a neighbor of his who was
better equipped mentally than his
friends believed.
This fellow" said the Governor,
was regarded as half-witted, and a
guardian was appointed for him and
his property. Some time after he sold
a horse to a neighbor, and the neigh
Dor discovered that the animal he Sc
cured was ballly, vicious and utterly
worthless.
The neighbor saw the half-witted
fellow and demanded that the bargain
be revoked and his money refunded,
but the other laughed at him. 4 will
have your guardian after you he
threatened, and will tell him how you
lave swindled me-
But the half-witted one was not
worried. My guardian will not care,
he asserted. He was appointed to see
that others did not swindle me. and
not to see that | did not swindle 9th
ers.' That closed the argument"

Bland, Mo-. June 30th.-F. B. Crider
describes very graphically how he was
overtaken by an enemy and his narrow
escape. he says:
For years ! have been troubled
with Kidney Disease which came on
me so gradually that did not know
what it was until the pains in my back
warned me that it was Kidney Trou-
BILE.
II began treatment at once and used
one medicine after another. but with
out help, till at last was just about to
give up in despair
Just then heard of Dodds Kidney
Pills and bought few boxes and be-
gan to take them. They helped me
from the first and now am completely
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills is the only
medicine that ever did me any good.
They are worth their weight in gold"

Prof Hinsdale OF Hiram College is
a believer in expressive language,
even ii it borders just little upon
slang. A short time ago the students
at the college were clamoring for a
certain textbook which was more
popular than the one in use. Prof,
Hinsdale was opposed to any change,
and hints had no effect upon him.
Finally one of the professors Of mathe-
MATES. who was an Englishman and
a graduate of Cambridge, was i'm
portuned TO present the claims of the
class TO Prof. Hinsdale
In reply to the request OF the pro-
fessor. Prof. Hinsdale exclaimed:
You may tell the class it will be "a
cold day before l win introduce that
book in this college"
The Englishman returned to the
class and announced, Prof. Hinsdale
says he viii not introduce the book

the loss and closed firm, practically un-

better cash demand here, but the eeaboard
reported only moderate business done
there for export.
Corn-Trade in corn was rather light
today and the market was inclined to rule
quiet owing to poor cash demand, but
closed firmer in sympathy with wheat.

markets were generally steady. There
was no special feature to the market.
Trade was rather light all day. The only
disoouraging feature in the situation is
the poor cash demand, but this is likely
to improve any day.
Oats-Trade in oats was light today and
the market ruled quiet within a narrow
range and closed practically unchanged
from last night. Country offerings were
moderate. Cash demand quiet There
was no special feature to the market.
Provisions opened very weak on
enormous receipts of hogs, and there was
heavy liquidation all day, but the closing
was trife firmer with grain. There
was a good deal of forced liquidation on
pork, but some buying on scale orders.

Yet there was undeniably some de-

the present large movement at other
points to the forwarding of cotton, which
