Child Drank Gasoline.

While visiting at the home of Ralph
Brown, Monday, the six year old daugh
ter of William Nj. Turner accidentally
drank portion of a cup of gasoline
which almost cost it's life. The family
and company were seated at the dinner
table. The child having finished it's
dinner stepped to a side table n.ar by
for a drink of water. Mrs. Brown, who
had been cleaning dress, had left a
cup partly filled with gasoline, sitting
near the water pail. The child, being
thirsty, drank the contents of the cup
before realizing what it was. DIR.

God Didn't Mind Him.

Henry, aged 4, fat, dimpled and die
tatorial, had for two years been an en-
enthusiastic prayer and dcvout believer
in the efficacy of prayer. 1t had been
his conviction that all he needed to do
was to demand of God whatever he
wanted and wait.
Before going abroad Aunt Mary beg
ged Henry to invoke protection for her
from on high against turbulent waters

night after night that the Almighty
would steady the vessel
Henry was astonishcd and mortified
and aggravated, a fortnight after his
aunt's departure, to learn that as the
result of unusual ronghnczs of sea his
mothers sister had been i'll from Sandy
Hook to Liverpool. He controlled his
temper with portcntous fortltudc until
bedtime, when for his customary prayer
he substituted the following:

Politics Doesn't Pay.

Clear Lake Reflector: When a farmer
gets to monllcying with politics as e
steady business his form soon shows
the effect of it. 1t would be money in
the pockets Of lots of good men if they
could only realize that good farm and
what grows out of it is worth more
than any Office that politics are ycN
alton of spirit. 1t goes this way: A
man gets a small Office; he then wants a
bigger one and then wants it term after
term: he acquires expensive habits of
living and a dislike for what he calls
the humdrum work of the farm; he
spends his salary faster than he gets it
and goes out of office poorer than
when he went in; in many cases he
mortgages his farm to pay political eN-
penScs and loses it, and there is moth
ing left for another chance which rarely
ever comes. We saw not so very long
ago an old man saw-bucking load of
wood to earn scvcnty-iivc cents. That
man was for three years the holder Of
an Office which paid him 81 800 a year.
de left a fine farm and wound up at a
town saw-buck. And there are others.
OF course somebody must fill the Offices,
but a farmer should think long and well
before he seeks an Office.

DO You Ever Notice That.

A Wife often permits her affection to
blind her reason. 81. ~,
A woman's love can become annoying
Us mssEl;as Cumbersome.
Marriage based on honest affection
wall withstand the ravages of time.
When a woman gives way to anger she
sseggs her own pardon with tears.
M Many women find happiness only
when attending to the affairs of others.
Confidence isnot, easily gained where
exaggerated love of self is found to
exist.
To decide between love and duty has
caused hours of worry to men as well as
women.
The man with vice wonders why
SO many people think it their duty to
make public the fact.
Man often shows the hard side of his
Ctlsposition,to mark more strongly the
generous shades.

Suicide Prevented.

lac startling announcement that a
preventive ofsuicide had been discover

suicide and something has been found
that will prevent that condition which
makes suicide likely. AT the first

Substitute for Wood.

An Iowa firm is making cement fence
posts which are guaranteed to last until
the wire mclts Off of them in the last
grand hot spell. Cement is getting to
be very popular for inside tinishings.
Many a bc-up-to-datc house hasn't bit
of wood inside or out except the furni-
ture
Slate roofs are getting cheaper and
more universal. Back number towns
use wood block paving. Incorporated
cowlots build sidewalks. Telephone
companies are using conduits instead Of
poles. Telegraph companies are getting
ready to shoot messages through the air
without buying a right Of way from
anybody. No more poles for them.
Hollow bricks and artificial stone are
knocking out lumber in house building.
Concrete saves millions of feet of Gum
Der each year; cement and steel ties
will be used in this country some day
when we get up-to-date. We don't
build wooden ships any more, and we
make box cars out Of steel. We make
paper from corn stalks instead of
spruce. The hired girl lights the fire
with kerosene instead Of kindling, and
we make her coffin out of paper mache
instead of cedar. Even church pulpits
are built of wonderful brass nowadays,
and wooden men who try to preach
from them get fired too quick. All this
is interesting in view of the great cry
that is going up over the destruction of
the American forests. 1t is something
of question as to which will be wiped
out first, the timber or the lumber

Senator Vests Tribute to the Dog.

One of the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog was delivered by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, some years
ago He was attending court in coun-
try town, and while waiting for the
tGlal OF "a case in which he was interest
ed was tlrged by the attorneys in dog
case to helpthem. Noluminous evidence
was introduced to show that the dog
had attacked defendant. The attorneys
however alrged him to speak. Being
thus urged he arose, scaned the face of
each juryman for a moment, and said:
Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend a man has in the world may turn
against lima and become his enemy. His
son or daughter that he has reared with
loving care wiD proMenlngrateful. Those
who are nearest and dearest to us,
those whom ave may TRUST with our
happiness and oar good name, may he
come traitors to their faith. The
money that a man has he may lose. 1t
flies away from him, perhaps when he
needs it most A nfallS reputation may
be sacrificed Inn moment of ill-oonsid-
cred action.
The people who are prone to fall eon
their knees to do us honor when success
is with us, may he first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
upon our heads. The one absolutely
unselfish friend that man can have in
this world, the one that never deserts
him, the one that never proves ungrate-
full or treacherous, is his dog. Annals dog
stands by him in prosperity and in
poverty, in health and in sickness. He
will sleep on the cold ground, where the
wintry winds blow and the snow drives
fiercely if he may be near his masters
side. lie will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer; he will lick the wounds
and sores which come in encounter
with the roughness of the world. He
guards the sleep Of his pauper master
as if he wese prince. When all other
friends desert he remains.
If fortune drives the master forth an
outcast into the world the dog asks
nothing better than to accompany him
and guard against danger.
And when the last scene comes and
death takes the master in it's embrace
and his body is laid away no matter if
all other friends pursue their way, there
by the grave will the noble dog be
found, faithful and true unto death.
Then Vest sat down. He had spoken
in a low voice without gesture. He
made no reference to the case. When
he finished, the Judge and jury were
wiping their1eyes. The jury filed out
but soon returned with verdict of $500
for the plaintiff, whose dog was shot;
and it was said that some of the jurors
wanted to hang the defendant Nash
vile American.

THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.
Rare Opportunities up there for
Pushing Men to Succeed.

The average man is more likely to
succeed in the state of Washington than
anywhere else in America.
There is reason of it of course. In
the first place Washington is alive with
new and prosperous industries, and she
needs and wants intelligent men who
are willing to work for success, that
they may go and help in the wonderful
development that is there in progress
Any man who is really in earnest can
succeed in Washington and with but,
little capital.
Ii you are farmer, there is no better
country in the world than Washington.
Ii you are mechanic, there is plenty
OF work for you to do there at good
prices, and plenty of opportunities for
you to establish yourself in one of the
many lines OF mechanical industry.
Ii you wish to engage in commerce.
there is without any question more
varied and promising field in Washing
ton than elsewhere in America.

So | do not begrudge the time spent
in acquiring it. But my ambitions are
not so high. l just want to marry a
man who can lick any Of his size in the
township, who can run an eighty acre
farm and who has no female relatives to
come around and boss the ranch. And
