A western millionair, who by
some misfortune lost one of his
ears, advertised to give $4,000
for an ear of any healthful per-
son. A doctor in New York adj
vertised for a man willing to
make the sacrifice for the bag of
gold. 1t is reported that 800
persons offered to part with an
ear for that price. One of them
was selected and the process of
making the exchange of the ear
from the head of one man to the
head of the other is now in
charge of the doctor. The
authorities in New York learning
OF the intended project would
not permit it to be done, but the
doctor and his patient went to
Philadelphia quietly where the
grating business was put in
proscess. In describing the OPP
Grafton the doctor says:
1.-The two men were placed in
opposite directions upon an
elongoted bed. The upper half
of the volunteers ear was cut off,
together with about four inches
of the skin behind the ear. This
was twisted around and fitted to
freshly prepared wound upon
my patients head. The half ear
was held in place by bandages
and the two men bound so they
cannot move their heads. They
must retain this position for at
least twelve days to allow the
circulation to come through the
flap of skin that still remains a
part of the volunteers scalp. II
this half ear starts to unite prop
erly the lower half of the ear will
be grated in the same manner"

At last a mandamus has been
issued from court to compel a
teacher not to read the Bible or
sing church hymns. The SUI
preme Court decided the Bible
is a sectarian book according to
our state constitution. If the
constitution so reads, we should
honor the court for so deciding,
but there should be a blush felt
by all, that we have such a state
constitution. 1t seems an absur-
dity beyond belief that free
American citizens would indulge
such a travesty upon common
sense, to say nothing of public
conscience. The next thing will
be to eXpunge Bible quotations

wipe out the whole course of in
struction and institute professions

we're republican candidates OH
the county ticket who received
more than 1899 votes. So were
there Demo-pop candidates of
the county that polled a larger
vote than their Regent. But the
strength of the populist party
combined with the democrats
cannot claim more than zoos as
their voting strength in the
county, which is 335 less than

There is no prejudice in favor
of the national administration
down in Missouri, but the edi-
tors who gathered in St. Joseph
last week for the meeting of the
northwestern Missouri editorial
association expressed themselves
almost unanimously in favor of
the policy of President Roosevelt
in dealing with the canal prob
lem. Interviewed by the News
and Press, "almost without ex-
ception and without regard to
politics, these moulders of public
opinion declare they, are for
President Roosevelt in the Pana-
ma affair" If it is impossible tc
get up an issue on the cana
question in democratic state
like Missouri it is not surprising
that the senate caucus decided to
give it up. The whole country
is plainly supporting the presi
dent in this matter, with tn,
usual and comforting exception
of the eastern mugwump contin

danger of being kicked for OF
of course the master was very
careful of his slave and why; be-
cause he represented to the mas
ter 81, 500.
The master with all the gall of
a Nero rode up to the door Of the
shop and ordered the smith to
make some little additions to the
menaches on the slave which
consisted Of hand cuffs and a
ball and chain to his ankle which
had already CALLED his ankle till
it was bleeding. The smith
says:
"All right, in a minute l will
wait on you," so he took first
class revolver and handed it to
his brother, than he walked out
of the shop and said to the mas
ter:
~ am going to take these
chains and the master drew his
revolver and swore if he attempt
ed that he would shoot him dead.
Whereupon the smith turned
to his brother and said:
Nov | am going to attempt
it and the moment you see me
fall put six holes through the
master in quick succession.
But the slave owner didn't
shoot and all the chains were
removed.
Now" said the smith, "you
remain right here under cover of
this gun till / get my horse and
l will ride a piece with you" So
he did and also he said:
"If you make any outcry in
anyway | will blow you through
and if ever you return to this
state we will see that you never
GO out again"
So they road on and on until
they reached the Ohio river
where the smith gave the fellow
a parting blessing that he never
| forgot, and so far as we ever
heard he remained in Kentucky.
But the slave was carried to Cam
ada by the U. G.. r. h. where he
was forever free. "
| This did not occur under the
eye of Uncle Levi Coffin or he
would have said:
Friend Powell thee had better
put up thy carnal weapon for
he that taketh the revolver
shall perish by the revolver. ~
But Uncle Levi would have
taken or attempted to take the
chains off feeling that he was
under the protecting care of Him

, declared that not sparrow falls

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH,
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cold" 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes SO severe as
to cause chill and considerable fever,
or it may be SO slight as to not hinder a
person from his usual business. In per-
haps majority of cases little or no at
tention is paid to the first stage of ca
tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one
half Of the people have chronic catarrh
in some form. ...t<

the first symptoms of catching cold he

FOR THE ECONOMICAL WOMAN.
Which Does She Prefer,-2 Pound
Package of Malt Breakfast Food or
~ Ounce of Others?

Weigh the loosely packed, flaky con-
tents of one of the large packages OF
any of the "ready-to-eat' cereals on
the market, and you will be surprised
to see that the weight is only twelve
or fourteen ounces. Compare it with
the full weight two-pound package of
Malt Breakfast Food and it is easy
to see where you get the most food
for your money.
Another important point to keep in
mind is that Malt Breakfast Food is
to be cooked in your own home. When
it is brought on the table steaming-
hot dish of delicate flavor and I'M
equaled nutrition, that two pound
package has become twelve pounds of
real food.
Malt Breakfast Food is the original
malt-wheat cereal. 1t is the result of
years of successful experience. 1t is
not a fad; it is honest food the favor
ite breakfast dish with those who en-
joy good food and wish to be thorough
ly nourished. 1t is not simply brain
food, but food for both brain and body.
The leading hotels, such as the Wal
dorf- Astoria, the Touraine, the Audi
forum. always have it on their break
fast menu, and it is the favorite cereal
in the homes of those who always want
the best, no matter what the cost Yet
your own experience will prove it the
most economical.
The beautiful pictures now packed
with the food are doing much to intro
duce Malt Breakfast Food. In addi-
ton to small photogra phi in each
package, large carbon photographs of
the finest quality, duplicates of those
costing two or three dollars at the art
stores, are given in return for coupons
taken from the packages. This is an
unusual opportunity to adorn the home
without expense.
Your grocer will tell you that Malt
Breakfast Food gives the most salts
faction of any of the cereals he sells.
Ask him about it.
