A clergyman in New Jersey hired a man
to act in the capacity of coachman and
gardener. One day the clergyman bought
a bottle of horse ointment, and told the
man to apply it to a lame horse according
to the directions on the bottle.
About an hour afterward he went ia
the barn, and found Silas industriously dip.

rubbing it against the horses leg.
What are You doing that for?" he
asked.
The man looked up with a smile of assur

in the directions on the bottle; but It'll

the minister.

TO KEEP KRAFT TWENTY DAYS
Chief Desmond and Sheriff Dick

lore They Get Alleged BOOdler.

Guadalajara, Mexico, Nov. 28.-An
other delay of 20 days seems probable
before the question of extraditing
Charles Kratz from Mexico can be
finally disposed of by the federal Judge
at Guadalajara.
Kratz answer to the demand of the
United States for his %extradition was
filed Thursday by Senior Castanez, his
Mexican attorney.
1t is set forth in this answer that
the United States ignores the law un.
der which Kratz vas arrested, and
that extradition hnder the recent
treaty would be unlawful because it is
not retroactive.
After filing this answer Kratz has
20 days under the Mexican law to pre-.
pare for his defense.
1t is likely that he will take advan-
tage of the time allowed by law, and
no final action is anticipated before
the expiration of the 20 days.

Sheriff Dickmann will have another

This is a very common sight and is al
most always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for SO many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as we'll as a slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken
to effect a cure.

CARTER
IS OUT OF PRISON
Portals of Federal Prison at Fort
Leavenworth Opened for Him.
MET BY UNCLE AT THE GATES
Carter willing to Talk on Any Sub
ject Except That Which Com
cerned EimseIf-ShOws No
Trace of Ill ealth

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. pa few
minutes before four o'clock, Saturday
morning, Oberlin M. Carter, ex-captain
Of engineers, walked out of the portals
Of the federal prison at Fl. Leaven-
worth, a free man. At the gates he was
met by his uncle, L. d. Carter, and i'm
mediately driven in a hack to the I'M
ion depot in this city. This last move
ment was a ruse to throw the newspa-
per men, whom he wished above all
things to avoid, off the track. At the
union station he was met by a press
representative, and while Carter still
%staunchly refused to be interviewed as
to his plans for the future, he said: 81
will catch the Missouri Pacific train
out of here at 5:14 o'clock to Kansas
City, and there, after breakfast, will
take the fast Santa Fe direct 70 Chi
cago. l wish to spend Sunday with
my mother, who is over-anxious to see
me-"
COnvefsed Freely.
While awaiting his train, the ex-army
officer conversed freely on a large mum.
Der of subjects, but always skilfully
avoided the introduction of anything
in regard to his conviction or his plans
for the future. He spoke at length
about the prison, but ever then turned
the talk from himself to ~generalities.
In regard to himself, he said: II am
feeling as well as could be expected
under the circumstances; deprived to
a large extent as | was Of exercise,
could not hope to be better situated"
The ex-captan looked much older
that when he entered the prison, near
ly four years ago, but showed no trace
of i'll health.
Nothing Stood in His Way.
1t was thought, Friday night, that an
officer of the department of justice
might be at the prison gates to rear
rest Carter on an old indictment, but
such was not the cas When he decid-
ed to leave the gates were thrown open
to him, and he passed out of the prison
walls for the first time since he was
brought into court here during his at
tempt to obtain a release by a writ of
LapeaS corpus. He was attired just as
he was on his arrival at the place OF
his incarceration.
