follows: Il was In an awful condi-
ton. My skin was almost yellow,
eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain
continually In back and sides, no
appetite, growing weaker day by
day. Thee physicians had given
me up. Then was advised to use
Electric Bitters; to my great jov.
the first bottle made a decided i'm
pfovement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a we'll

Story of a Ribbon Winning From an
Equine Viewpoint.


One of the popular features Of the
annual horse show in New York is the
squad Of park police horses that is al
ways entered. The winning Of blue
ribbon by one of these police horses is
told in Horses Nine" by Sewell Ford,
from the viewpoint of the horse. The
author says:
So it happened that one morning
Skipper heard the sergeant tell Reddy
that he had been detailed for the horse
show squad. Reddy had saluted and
said nothing at the time, but when
they were once out on post he told
Skipper all about it.
"Sure an it's app'arin' before all the
swells in town yell be, me by. Plat
do We think of that, eh? An mebbe
Yell be gettin' blue ribbon, Skipper,
me lad, an mebbe Mr.. Patrick Martin
will have q roundSman'S berth an
chevrons on his sleeves afore the years
out"
The horse show was all that Reddy
had promised, and more. The light al
most dazzled Skipper. The sounds and
the smells confused him, but he felt
Reddy on his back, heard him chirrup
softly and soon felt at ease on the tam
bark.
Then there was 4 great crash or
noise, and Skipper, with some fifty OF
his friends on the force, began to move
around the circle. First it was fours
abreast, then by twos, and then a rush
to troop front, when, in long line,
they swept around as if they had been
harnessed to q beam by traces of equal
length.
After some more evolutions a half
dozen were picked out and put through
their PAGES. Skipper was one of these.
Then three of the six were sent to join
the rest of the squad. Only Skipper
and two others remained in the center
of the ring Men in queer clothes,
wearinG.tall, black hats, showing much
white shirt front and carrying long
whips, came and looked them over
carefully.
Skipper showed these men how he
could waltz in time to the music, and
the people who banked the circle as
far up as Skipper could see shouted
and clapped their hands until it seemed
as if a thunderstorm had broken loose.
At last one Of the men in tall hats tied
a blue ribbon on Shippers bride.
When Reddy got him into the stable,
he fed him four big red apples, one
after the other. Next day Skipper
knew that lie was a famous horse.
Reddy showed him their pictures in
the paper.

As the result of a contest In our own

in obtaining some IS applications, IS
of whome were initiated and 3 old
members re-installed at our Last reg

It was large class to handle in SO
small space as the lodge room but
our own officers are most efficient, and
as the iuitlatory ceremony was PER-
formed by Deputy G. G. H. Sue B..

work was put through gracefully and
with much impressiveness.
The success of our contest is owing
largely to the efforts of our chief con-

latter being the winner by few names
and according to previous agreement
the losers furnished a dainty lunch to

LIBRARY. BOOKS RE.CLASSIFiED

The librarians are busily engaged
in re-classifying and re-cataloging
the books in the public library. The
work is being done under the di-
rection of Mrs. Jacobsen, of Alex
andria, who in turn, performs her
labors under the direction of the
state library commission. The pre-
liminary work of classifying the
books was done short time ago by
Miss Baldwin, of the commission.
1t is expected that the work will be
finished on Monday. The system
of classification is that known as the
Dewey, from the name of the orig
inator.
Few realize the Importance of a
scientific system of cataloging books
in library of any size. With the
Dewey system iu use here, the pub
lie library, when installed in its
new home, will be in better shape
to meet the larger demands to be
made upon it, as it grows in size
and usefulness year by year.
