kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart Is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
II used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

Vampire superstitions.


The prevailing belief in European
countries was that vampires were the
ghosts of suicides or others who had
died violent deaths and were forced by
the devil to leave their graves at night
and feed ON the blood of men and wo-
men, and any who died at the hands Of
these dreadful creatures also became
vampires. In this way beautiful wom-
en- became vampires and enticed young
men and fed on their blood and flesh.
It was believed that they had power to
assume any shape or form desired be-
tween sunset and sunrise and that they
committed most of their awful deeds at
midnight. They were powerless in the
daytime and were generally in a tor
pid state Garlic and wild rosebushes
were guards against them, and cruci-
fixes were feared by them. To prevent
suicides from becoming vampires they
were buried with a stake driven
through their hearts, and the straw
they had slept on was burned. All the
dogs and cats in the village were locked
up, for if a dog or cat jumped over
corpse it was sure to become the home
Of a vampire. Chicago Tribune.

HAD A FoNDNEss FOR NAILS.
Strange Cause OF Death Of Michigan
Insane Patient.

Kalamazoo, Mich, March PA
postmortem examination has revealed
the strangest cause of death in the
history of the Michigan asylum for
the insane.
Six pounds of nails, buttons and
other rubbish were taken from ths
stomach of Fred Cerrow, a patient
committed from Branch county, Mich.
He has been at the institution on and
off for many years. Since 1897 he has
complained of stomach trouble and
the condition of some of the articles
indicated they had been in his stom-
ach since then. Death was caused by
an ahscess of the liver, induced by a
nail protruding through the wall Of
the stomach. Among the articles
taken out and vouched for by the asy-
lum physicians are over 200 nails of
different sizes, screws, buttons, bits Of
wire, tinfoil, stones, wire and suspen-
der buckles,

MAKING FORTUNES.
The Money of the Market Not For
the Man With Theory.


the Man With Theory.
Fortunes have been made in the Chi
cago board of trade not by men who
entered the market with precenceived
theory as to it's course, which they at
tempted to make good through thick
and thin. but rather by those who took
things as they came, watching the
drift, shaping their way from day to
day, like prudent merchants, according
to the current.
This is confusing to the novice, for
the novice almost always comes in
with a preconceived theory. Some
time ago young man with large
hope, moderate fortune and consider
able social prestige was shown the
enormous possibilities in December
pork. It looked absolutely convincing.
but he called upon great packer with
whom he had a personal acquaintance.
Yes; the packer thought very well Of
pork-was buying it, in fact. Thus
doubly assured the young man bought.
The market went his way. and he
bought more. Then the market turned.
The young man reviewed his convinc-
ing statistics, remembered the words Of
the packer and stood stubbornly upon
his line When he was getting near to
the end of his margins, he was horri-
fed to learn that his friend the packer
had shifted to the other side of the
market two weeks before. He visited
him, recalled their conversation and
explained the situation. The packer
stared. "Do you mean you've been
holding $500 barrels Of pork all this
timer he demanded. "Yes," said the
young man, land have it yet. Now,
what can l do with itY' II don't
know" said the packer, unless you

A Narrow Escape For one Man

A Narrow Escape For One Man.
The Importance Of examining closely
the hair found on weapons was shown
in case in which hatchet having
clotted blood and hair adherent to 1t
was produced as evidence against
prisoner suspected of murder in little
country town. It was found under his
bed. This, with other circumstantial
evidence, had turned public opinion
strongly against the prisoner, but when
the hair was examined by micro
scopist who CHANGED to be in the court
room it was found not to be human,
but that Of some animal. This circum-
stance led to more complete sitting
Of the evidence, and the accused was
acquitted. 1t turned out that he had
killed dog with the hatchet and had
-carelessly thrown the weapon under
the bed. So his life literally hung on
hair.

THE JOKE AS A POWER.
II II Rapidly Becoming Mighfier
Than the Pen.

Than the Fen.
Men who fear nothing else shrink
from joke upon themselves. Soldiers
who do not finch before opposing guns
dread to be made ridiculous. Woe to
the national hero who makes one trl-
fling mistake which may subject him
to clever caricature! His meritorious
career is henceforth shadowed by one
coIored illustration. A comic paper Will
tip the scales Of justice, snatch the VIC
tors prize from his extended palm ana
rob the orator Of choicest laurels. A
brilliant satire will mar the fortunes
Of the greatest statesman, laugh Will
turn the tide Of political conyentionie,
Indeed the joke is fast becoming
mightier than the pen. The orator mas
learned its value, and even the clergy
man resorts to it when he desires TO
stir the tagging interest of his flock.
It furnishes sufficient excuse for the
impertinence Of children, and in its
name the daily papers deride the high
est national dignitaries.
What is the meaning of its steady
growth in power and what results may
we predict from its humorous tyranny?
Is there chance that our keen relish
for fun may finally produce a kind OF
humorous dyspepsia resulting from
overindulgence, unless with epicurean
discrimination we demand quality, not
quantity; and stubbornly refuse to
swallow other than that which should
appease a wholesome, nay cultivated
appetite in jokes Caroline Ticknor in

portance. For example, we are thrown
of our balance by the merest trifies
perhaps which occur today, but which
In a weeks time may have no signif-

euRDIck INQUEST RESUMED.
Several Witnesses Called to Give Evil

UCtlCC w NdSSs
Buffalo, March 27.-The Burdick
inquest was resumed at 10 a.. m. In
Judge Murphy's court, but the attend.
ance was not large. The scandals re.

dence bearing directly upon the mur.

Rev. L. M. Powers was the first wit.
ness. He said that Mrs. Hull and the
Burdicks were members Of his church
congregation. He told of discussing
with them the domestic affairs of the
Burdicks and of Burdick blaming Pen
nell for all his troubles. Burdick had
told the minister that Pennell threat.
ened to commit suicide unless the for
mer's suit for divorce was withdrawn,
Carol Burdick, the thirteen-yea ear-old
daughter of the murdered man, and
Mrs. Hull, his mother-in-law, were re.
called but nothing of Importance was
brought out.

that no poisons were found in the

that the verdict in the Burdick case
will not be rendered until after the
close of the Pennell inquest, when
both verdicts will be handed down 81.

Where Life i. strenuous.

Here in the northwest one encounters
the living representation Of the strenu-

northwest, indeed the WHOLE west, has
learned the value Of cooperation and
community interest. Migrating to
new country, with difficulties and dan
gers on every hand, the people have
been forced to combine and stand with
solid front to the world. As, result
innumerable organizations have sprung

A Famous Portrait Painters Opinion.
The famous artist Won Lenbach had
one great dominant principle that out
OF nature one should grasp and hold
fast but one thing in portraiture, the
head; that this exponent Of the soul
must stand out In undisturbed unity;
that accessories of whatever kind,
whether dress or form, must distract
and weaken the impression that the
head should produce; that portrait
to attain its highest aim and signif-
canoe must look out from background
of nothingness and must be shorn Of
every detail that interferes with this

Route From St. Paul to Ashland Will

New York, March 27.-Northern Sc.
curities officials confirm the rumor
that the Northern Pacific contemplates
building a cutoff from Grantsburg.
Wis, to Iron River.
"The purpose of the new line," said
one official, ,''is to shorten the route
from St. Paul to Ashland to enable
the Northern Pacific to compete with
advantage with the Omaha for freight
originating in the Twin Cities and
shipped via Ashland in the summer
months. This traffic has been lost in
great part to the Northern Pacific
through the fact that it had to be car.
ried by circuitous route via Duluth
and Superior. The new route will not
be shorter than the Omaha line, but is
designed to put the Northern Pacific
on an equal footing with it for nortL-
bound traffic and to surpass it in the
