The Nc Bride Case AGAIN.


st. Johns. Kans., Oct. 26.-Mr. and
Mrs. William Mcbride and Jesse l..
Lines, M. D., have gone before Mr..
George E. Moore, Notary Public. and
have sworn and subjected to written
statements confirming the story of the
awful illness and subsequent cure Of
the little son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Bride.
DR.. Lines is particularly emphatic
in his statement, and there does not
now seem to be any room for doubt as
to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and nothing else, saved the little boy.
He was SO bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increas-
ing frequency. He was semi-paralyzed
in the right side, and his mind was
badly affected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcbride say:
"The very day we began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had twen-
ty-seven Of these Epileptic spells or
fits. In less than week he ceased
having them entirely.
The case has caused great sensa-
ton in the neighborhood. The sworn
statements have confirmed the whole
story.

string Of country homes extending
from Lennox to Paul Beach. Mrs.
Dolan is restless and loves to travel.
She has deserted Newport for, Lenox,
but will stay in the Berkshire place
for few weeks only. Then she will
open her Hot Springs cottage. but will
go often to her Philadelphia place.

divide her time between that resort
and Palm Beach until she takes E'l-

y Beef or Milk Not Beth

Speaking to Holstein breeders, Pro
'fessor III. III. Dean said: Now, some
breeders Of, Holsteins advertise that
their cattle are both good for beef
and good for milk n my Judgment
that is q weak point. The SHolsteins,
IT know anything about their his.
tory and characteristics, are essen
TALLY q dairy breed, and I was sur
'prised to find when In Holland that;
they seem: to lay great deal Of stress.
for beth beef and milk. Some Of the
upon that point. that they were good
farmers whom ! talked with there
criticised that point. They remind me
very much OF an old German, whom q
young doctor was trying to impress
with the fact that he knew great
deal about medicine, because he had
taken a course in both homeopathy
and ordinary medicine. He said:
Well, that may be so; i vonce had .
calf that sucked two cows and he
made an ordinary steer after ALL"
Now, believe man who is trying to
make his stock both good beefing and
good dairy cattle, will probably find
they are only ordinary steers after all;
or ordinary stock after all; and, If you
will allow me to say. 50, think the
men who are emphasizing that point
are men who are emphasizing a weak
point in connection with the breed.
They are essentially dairy breed!
and the man no does not keep that
point prominently before him is the
man in my judgment who will make
a mistake.

White Holland Turkeys.

From the Farmers Review: AS a
breeder of thoroughbred poultry for
some years, would briefly state that
the White Holland turkey has proved
to be the most remunerative of any
breed of fowl I have kept. Some claim
one tom Is sufficient for ten to twenty
hens during the breeding season, but
am successful when only seven to
nine hens are mated to one tom, and
prefer seven. In the selection of
breeding stock prefer a tom with
pure white plumage throughout, with
nice pink legs, standing up erect on
short, heavy leg bones, with heavy,
compact body and plump breast, and
not weighing less than 80 pounds.
The hens should be of like stamp and
build, and not weigh less than IS
pounds. When practical, mate old
hens with young tom and visa versa.
To insure fertility, turkeys must have
wide range. and never use sickly
CT weakly turkey in your breeding
flock under any circumstances, as It
is a sure road to financial loss. Our
turkeys have the whole Of the farm
to roam over, with eight acres Of blue
grass. For nests we turn down open
ended sugar and cracker barrels, plac-
ing litter therein with six4nch
board staked down In front to pre-
vent eggs from rolling out. When
the turkey hen lays her first laying
and wants to lit, break her up and

CATS CAN SWIM.

An Old Fisherman's Story In Illustration
of That Fact.
"Can cats swim?" was asked of an
old fisherman. why, certainly" was
the reply, land that reminds me of q
cat I once tried to drown that swan
ashore. Surely there must have been
hundreds or thousands of people who
have drowned cats in the same way,
but nevertheless this was an expert
ence Of my own. We had cat that we
wanted to get rid of, and as humane q
way as any to kill it was by drowning.
So put couple of bricks in the bot
tom Of an old grain sack and put in
the cat, and tied the bag up carefully
and securely and walked down to the
end of wharf and stood there and

the ideal poultry house, which should
be- both serviceable and pleasing to.
the eye. "A good many experiments
have been. made. and good deal Of
light she'd on the, subject. It is pos
sible that there Is no such thing as,
an ideal poultry house, but that the:
kind and cost will depend on the 10
cation and the locality in which it Isl
to stand. A millionaire will doubtless
prefer to build his poultry house ;of
expensive material, paint IT. an ex-
pensive color, and have q good many
frills around it. Out on the western.
prairie, miles away from any other
farm, the settler will not be Sc much
concerned about looks, but will con-
struct his poultry house with the one
Idea Of utility. II he finds sod good
material for building, sod will be used.
The dryness Of the atmosphere or It's
moistness will also modify the charac.
ter OF any such house as may be
constructed. Sod can be used in
western Nebraska and like localities
where the rainfall is light. In fact,
where the house can be kept dry, a
cave will serve many useful purposes,
as 1t will be impenetrable to the cold
Of winter and to the heat Of summer.
There was time when poultry
houses were sunk into the ground, and
cellars were constructed for the use
Of the fowls even in the humid states
Of the Union. But these have been,
to considerable extent, abandoned,
owing to dampness, which seems to
be as hard on fowls as on human be-
lngs. However, we have known of
some very successful poultry arrange
ments of this kind. The writer knows
Of one wealthy woman who had a
poultry house constructed over a eel
lar dug for the purpose. The house;
was a good-sized one and the cellar
was as large as the house. In the,
upper part of the building were kept
all kinds of feed and poultry appli-
ances. A hundred hens roasted and
laid in the cavern below, which was
both dry and light. These hens were
very profitable. The use Of cement
makes the poultry cave a possibility
without the attendant dampness. The
placing of double windows and: the
providing of ventilation are two things
that should be looked after where the
cave is used. IS ~.
In the building of poultry houses
above ground, the square house gives
the most room for the least money.
But this kind of. a house is not popu-
lar. The long house is most preferred
by the public. II one will go to the
establishments of the most prominent
poultry raisers, he will find long, mar
row houses. some of them not more
than ten feet wide and 100 feet or
more long. This seems to give the
best result, where the fowls are to
be kept in small focks and allowed to
run In yards. If fowls were to. be kept
confined all the time the square house
might prove to be the best, or even
if all were to be kept in one large
flock. But the necessity for. dividing
the flock makes the long, ! narrow
house the most serviceable. It is GER
tainly cheaper to build one long house
than several short ones, as the end
partitions Of all but one house are
saved. The focks in the long house
are separated by wire only and this is
very inexpensive.

The accompaniment to this story,
told in the most matter-of-fact tone,
was the low, harsh grating of the file,
which the speaker was diligently US
ing. The whole affair was thorough
ty characteristic of John Maxwell.
Any one else would have done every
thing in his power to keep his friend
from such a venture, and, when all
failed, would at least have been anx-
tous and troubled about him. John
did neither. He considered the form
er useless, the latter superhuous; but,
without wasting another word, he rode
straight into the jaws of danger at

simplest and most natural thing in
the world.

CHAPTER X.

Meanwhile the Justice and his clerk
were seated at a Widespread table in
the dining-room, which also looked
out upon the garden. Edward could
not send the gentlemen, who had TAX
en- the long ride in vain, back to the
city Immediately; so he had invited
them to dinner. Mr.. Thompson could
not find words enough to express his
regret and sympathy for the sorrow
overhanging the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
a comfortable meal on that account.
He thought it perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main in the drawing-room. No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew, but he himself dis
cussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him, and was ably
supported by his clerk.
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor Blackwood's absence, and ada
mired the sense of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner. He was just giving his factotum
discourse concerning this distin-
guished physician, at the same time
helping himself to large piece of
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifully and took a still larger
slice, when the subject of the con-
versation suddenly entered.
"Ah, there you are, Doctor Black
wood!" cried the judge. "Sft down.
Unfortunately you have come a little
late. We have had the roast servA
ed"
The doctor bowed in the most
charming manner, and signed to the
servant, who had just brought In the
dishes, to leave the room.
THANK you. am very sorry to dis
turb you, but there is a business mat
ter to be settled, which admits of no
delay" .s.. s.,
"A business affair? Is there will
to be made?"
mo, on the contrary, the matter
concerns wedding" -
Mr.. Thompson dropped his knife
ana IOrk and stared at the speaker In
the utmost establishment.
1.-THE ceremony is put OFF, Mr.. Har-
rison told me himself that he was
compelled to defer it for the present. -
Certainly, and he will probably do
so altogether; but another person has
taken his place-Mr. William Roland"
What? What did you call him?"
William Roland. The circumstances
have entirely changed, and unfortu-
nately have not time to explain them
TO you in detail. But, in che name OF
the betrothed couple. l beg of you to
perform the wedding ceremony at
once"
The magistrate leaned back in his
chair, assuming dignified attitude
and a solemn, official manner.
