they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

Father dear, you've gone and left US

And your presence Wen miss ever.

And our dear Lord thought it best

For q summons to that land,
Where no care OF sorrow dwelleth,
But all form happy band.

But dear father that you re gone;
We must brace up, and like christians,
We shall say, Goods will be DONE"

Goats That Fight.

A species of the Wild goat, the Caprs
ruppeli, haunrS the rocks of the Abys-
sinian highlands and manages to hold
its Own as to flight against all enemies,
with the exception of the feet footed
jackal. an adversary whose co-opera-
tive tactics and keenness of scent make
flight unayailing and have led the ca
pras to the conclusion that under GER
tain circumstances valor may be the
better part Of discretion. The yelp OF
an approaching horde of jackals is
therefore a signal for instant rally on
the part of the goats. The nasnles
crowd around their kids. and the bucks
rush forward en- masse. butting away
with a rage that lays out a yelper al
every spring and makes the survivors
stand back bowling and covering.

SHORT STORIES
Husband of a I.ione...

Lillian Bell. the novelist, gives as the
only reason for her having deserted the
joys of single b~lessedness which she so
-ictc-scs.s.s upheld thai IN her hus.
band. Mr.. Arthur Hoyt Bogue. she
found the only man large minded
enough not to be offended when he was
described as Lillian Bells husband.
Soon after her marriage Mrs. Bogue
was invited to be the guest Of honor
and to give a reading from her books
ut the Ohio Federation of Women's
Clubs to be held at Dayton. and. as
her marriage had created no small
amount of interest, Mr.. Bogue was In
vited to accompany her, which invita-
ton they both accepted.
The night before her reading a mon
ster reception was held. at which some
5000 women were in attendance, and
scattered among them not more than
a dozen men. Mrs. Bogue stood in the
receiving line next TO the president or
the federation. When the affair was

CASE OF IMPORTANCE
Right of County Commissioners to
Grant Liquor License in Towns
is Questioned.

-Brideewater special: The question
as TO whether or not county boards OF
commissioners have the legal power
to grant licenses to applicants who
wish to start saloons in cities or
towns after the city Or town councils
have denied such applications will
be determined by a case which is to
be argued IN a day VI two before
Judge Smith, of the First judicial
circuit.
John Mccormick. of Br!dgewateI,
who was granted a license by the
county board to conduct a saloon at
Parker, but who was denied Il license
by the city council, has applied TO
Judge Smith for a writ OF mandanluS
to compel the council to issue him 4
license. 1t is this application whic'.
will be argued before Judge Smith.
The outcome Of the case will be OF
statewide interest. and will deter
mine similar cases which ale pending
at kimball, Britton and elsewhere.
If the writ is denied il will establish,
a precedent. and boards of county
commissioners will not in future be
likely to grant licenses in any OF
the towns until after the town. coun-
ellis have acted upon the applications
for liCenor.

VIM. E Curtis, who is writing up
the northwest for his paper, the Chi
cage Record Herald, cast his eye over
South Dakota and has the following
good words to say for the state:
In South Dakota only some unfore-
seer general calamity can prevent
the harvesting of the best crop Of
any year since 1881. South Dakota
has been picking up in various ways
and no longer has any pove1ty-stricken
farming population. The people have
prospered abundantly for several
years. They have learned the soil
and the best crops to plant and how
to handle them, and no state in the
union is doing better. The develop
ment of South Dakota may best be
estimated ~ the sale of agricultural
implements and machinery wagons
and carriages: pianos and organs,
and by the erection Of new houses by
the farmers. Recent travellers VINO
have passed through that state say
that there seems to be a new house
on almost every farm, and when you
go to town on Saturday. he says that
the streets are lined with new car
rlages and wagons. These are the
best barometers of the agricultural
conditions of a country.

Der offered TO bet that the man he had

the head and chin and cheeks of Bar
rett.

in the case of the dignihed t~ragedian.

Village Firemen Strike.

The members of the volunteer fire
department at Lesterville are on a
strike and before their grievances
are settled it lis probable that a
board of arbitration will have to be
summoned. Some weeks ago the fire.
men applied to the town council for
the appropriation of money to the
support Of the department. This
was to be in the form of salaries.
The council made an appropriation,
but for only about one-half the
amount the volunteer fighters had
demanded. AS things now stand the
town is virtually without a fire de.
partment. as neither the council mol
the tiremen will recede from theil
position. 1t IS probable a new fire
department will have to be organized.

Senator Iillman gave the north a
few jabs with his pitchfork a few
days ago, while in Chicago. and he
seemed to take much satisfaction in
relieving himself Of his venom. The
occasion for Tillman's comparison
was through the disglaceful lynch
ings which occurred a few days ago
at Evansville, Ind and at Danvllle,
H., when negroes were taken out of
Jail and hung to a telegraph pole for
committing an atrocious crime. Till
man in the senate of the United
States has stood up before the peo-
pie and advocated this method OF
dealing with the negro and he said
that he was pleased to see that the
north had adopted the methods CT
the south. His talk in the senate is
as much, if not more so, responsible
for the condition in the north. He
has advocated the hanging of the ne.
groes for the crime committed anC
the sentiment seems to have impreg'
mated the north with the alleged
justice Of dealing out punishment tt
the negro. Tillman's attitude ha:
been an encouragement to these act:
and the people Of the north regret il
measured terms that the tactics o
the south are employed. However

liant N protecting these prisoner
than they are in the south, AM

The gross receipts of the postottice
in fifty of the largest cities Of the
United States, for the north of June,
showed a net gain of more than Il
per cent over the corresponding
month of last year. Heavy immigra-
tion has made the increase in the
population unusually great, for a year
or two, but it is an extreme eStl-
mate to say that the number of peo-
pie in the country last month may
have been 3 per cent more than it
was a year earlier. The cities have
gained at a higher rate than the
rest of the United States, but the
fifty places which reported an expan-
sion of IA per cent in the postofice
business did not add more than i per
cent to the number Of their residents.
There are few tests Of general COM
mercial and industrial activity which
are as accurate as the business of the
poStoffices, says the Cleveland Leader.
The patronage Of the poStofhce de-
partment comes from all classes. IT
is not limited to any n industry OF
interest. Postofice charges do not
change like railroad rates. The vol.
ume Of traffic is measured by the
money received. In bad times many
economics affect the p%ostotices direct
ly. and others indirectly. \ rapiC
increase in postofice receipts tells {
plain story Of prosperity.
