Fishes and Pain.

1t is well known that fishes have little

very tenacious of life. \ curious exam

had been caught in the Tyne at Owing

severed from its body by a tight band Of
some iihrous substance. The band had
worn quite through the skin ANA flesh

Death of Robert Hunter.

We are again called upon to chrOn- icle the passing away of one of Atch- ison county's best known citizens, Robert Hunter, whose departure from earth life occurred on Monday mOrn- ing, March Is, 1903, in the 63rd year of this life.
 Robert Hunterwas of Scotch descent. His parents were James Hunter and Elizabeth (McKay) Hunter. He was born in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, December 2l, lS40. He came to Atch- isOn county with his parents in 1S47. He was educated here and most of his schooling was in log school house long since demolished. Mrs. Dr. J. Y. Bird, who is still living, was one of the first teachers.
 In 1864 he started his business career in company with K. l.. Clark in a building where the brick store house occupied by John l.. Bonta now stands. For many years he did large busi- ness here and elsewhere and for sev- eral years was largely interested in merchandising in Tarkio.
 In 1868 he married CharlOtt E. Buck ham. There were born of this mar riage four children, three of whom survive; Mrs. Ella St. Clair, Mrs. Drusa V. BOulton and Miss Lula R. Hunter. May preceded her father to spirit land.
 Politically he was a Republican. He cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1884, and for each succeed ing Republican candidate for the pres idency. He was County Treasurer from 1S69-72.
 He was one of the most public spirited and helpful men of Atchison county during his business career, and the financial diaster which befell him in 1892 was deeply felt and much regretted. No effort for the better ment of the community nor for helpful charity ever passed his door unhelped. Many men still live in prosperity and wealth who owe their success in life to Robert Hunter. Of debts forgiven he had enough to make him today one of our most wealthy citizens.
 The funeral was conducted at the Christian church, this city, Wednes- day afternoon, Prof. D. A. Quick and Elder w. w. Laughlin officiating, and the large attendance gave evidence that he was held in high esteem by the people of Atchison county, where his life has been like an open book to be read by all.
 The interment was at ElmwOod cem- etery in the private burial grounds of the Hunters. Port Mo- Journal.

The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these dis eases we have yet to learn of single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it it is certain preventive of that dangerous disease.

Reptile. rA.t walk Erect.

+. J. u,
Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard. which is three
or four feet in length, keeps quite erect
when traversing long distances on
land. It is found in the neighborhood
Of river banks, and passes much Of its
time in shallow water.
The frilled lizard Of Queensland also
travels on its hind legs on level ground,
keeping the frill folded when running.
When attacked it expands this fold of
skin, which stands out like a run at
right angles round the neck, giving it
a most formidable aspect, SO that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay.
There is also tree lizard in Austria
liza that moves in a similar way. All
these species walk on all tours when
merely moving about or going short
distances.

Children Do Lie.

Do children lie? Yes; constantly,
persistently and universally, says the
kindergarten Magazine. 4 child does
not tell the truth because he could not.
He does not know the truth. and his
approximation to the truth is very
much wagner than ours And there are
certain qualities Of his mind which
make it inevitable that he should per-
vert the truth. In the first place, truth
is synonymous with knowledge. He
does not know what truth is. In the
second place (and it is the same with
us), children gradually approximate
the truth. They have their ideas of
truth. In the third place, the child's
Imagination drives him often to tell
what is not true.

Brain Work and Hair.

Everything physical being equal, it
is established that the man who is en-
gagged in professional work will grow
gray sooner than will the man who
earns his bread by the literal sweat Of
his brow. Thus by implication the man
who has more and harder brain work
than another-mo worries, more
troubles, more difficult thoughts, less
vitality in proportion this is the indi-
vidual and the profession that soonest
are marked by gray hairs.
