Things said by Others.

Too few of our sons and daughters
are found I'm the agricultural colleges
taking the courses in agriculture.
You don't know it all; even Solomon
didn't. The other fellows can tell you a
few things that it will be money in
your pocket to know.
New ideas in farming spread slowly.
Some years ago they did not spread at
all.
Chance farming of any kind is
thing Of the past among enlightened
farmers. Each branch of farming is
founded upon everlasting principles.
A man who has no pride in his bust
ness should quit the business.
If finding yourself making more
progress in intelligence than in kind
ness sit right down and think it over.
1t never pays to overdraw ones sur
plus of strength.
None others are so content with what
they know as those that know little.

shoes.

Considerable difference will be found
in the wearing qualities of two pairs
of shoes of the same quality and make
worn by different persons. Shoes worn
continuously in the house and outdoors
will never give as much wear as if
worn one day and left to rest a day. 1t
saves money to wear cheap house shoes
within doors and let the shoes worn
outdoors rest and get into shape. Keep
an old pair of shoes to wear under
rubbers. The perspiration of the feet
which india rubber eXcites ruins good
leather. Select strong calfskin and
keep it well oiled in winter for outdoor
wear. Low shoes are better for house
wear, because they permit of ventila-
ton. The hand is free from many
of the ills of the foot partly because
of it's continuous exposure to the air.

OLD TIME SURGEONS.
They Had to Work Rapidly Before
An@sthetics Were Used.

They Had to Work Rapidly Before
Anesthetics Were Used.
Before anasthetics were known the
surgeons only eXpedient was to abridge
his patients sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had a control and
- heir hands that are now sell
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg of a poor devil who began to
howl in advance. I'll give you my
watch" said the surgeon, IF the Oper-
alton lasts more than a minute" The
man accepted the offer, but was obliged
to fOregO the handsome watch. as the
operation took less time than it re-
quires to describe.
To amputate an arm at the shoulder
is a most difficult operation. DR.. Ian
genbeck of Germany did it in two min
(utes. A young physician who came to
see him perform the operation adjusted
his spectacles to his nose so as not to
lose a single movement. but when the
spectacles were in place the operation
was over. and the severed arm lay on
the floor.
Times have changed much since then.
1t suffices to put a bit of chlOrOform or
ether on q compress and let the patient
breathe through it for a few minutes
to put him into a slumber so deep that
he remains inert while the surgeon
makes his incision. cuts, files the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation is over. and the patient
knows nothing of it. Thanks TO chlorO
form, surgeons can practice operation:
today which arouse our admiration.

Plant That Feigns Death.

In South America there is a plant,
a species of mimOsa, which resorts to
death feigning. evidently for the pur-
pose of preventing grass eating ami
mails from eating it. In Ms natural
state this plant has a vivid green hue,
but directly it is touched by a human
finger or by any living animal it col
lapses into tangle of apparently dead
and withered stems. Among British
wild plants the most sensitive to touch
is the insectivorous sundew of Eng
lish bogs.-London Globe.

Verdict of $500 Against the
Newspaper in Favor of
Mrs. Tingley
TIMES FAILS TO PROVE CHARGES
Judges Instructions to the Jury Were
Entirely Favorable to the Plaintiff
and Under His Rulings the Jury
Could Do Nothing But Return ver-
dict for the Woman.

San Diego, CAL, Jan. 13.-The jury
in the Tingley- Times $4,000 libe, suit
has found for Mrs. Tihgley in the sum
|of $500.
Judge Torrence's charge to the jury
in the Tingley- Times libel case was
strongly in favor Of the plaintiff, hold
ing that the defendant had failed in
the important particulars. to prove the
allegations against Mrs. Tingley and
the institution at Point Lone. Among
other things he said:
1.-The defendant alleges that it was
true the institution conducted by the
plaintiff was fake and fraud and is
carried on by the plaintiff for the pur-
pose of defrauding people who are in
duced to attend it. I declare to you
as a matter of law that there is no
legal proof of the truth of that charge
and therefore you must regard it as
false"
In conclusion the Judge denied that
the constitutional liberty of the press
was involved in this case, nor in his
opinion are either the progress of
Christian civilization or the principles
of Christian religion involved in the
issues of this case"
The defendants. counsel took excep-
lions to the greater part of the courts
instructions. The jury retired at 4.40
o'clock.

MITCHELL APPEALS TO MINERS.
Requests That They Devise Means TO
Increase Coal Output.

Requests That They Devise Means TO
increase Coal Output.
Philadelphia, Jan. 10. President
Mitchell. of the United Mine Works of
America, last night issued the follow
ing circular letter to all local unions in
the anthracite district:
"Gentlemen: You are, no doubt.
aware that a serious coal famine exists
in all the eastern and seaboard cities,
due to the shortage of the anthracite
coal supply. The situation has reached
an acute stage, and has resulted in
great suffering and hardship to the
poor of the cities, whose earnings are
insufficient to enable them to pay the
excessive prices now being charged for
fuel, and it is subjecting the general
public to great Inconvenience
ITO relieve the situation and allevi-
ate, as far as possible, the suffering now
being endured, is the duty of every one
connected with the production of coal.
With this end in view, we are prompted
to address this communication to all
members of our union and request that
they cooperate with the manag sment
of the mines in an effort to increase the
production of coal. The gravity of the
situation is such as to require that
every mine worker shall exert himself
and use every means at his command
to this end.
Upon reading this communication in
the columns of the daily papers, local
unions should hold meetings and devise
means whereby the daily output of the
mines may be increased. These efforts
should be continued until the weather
moderates and the great necessity for
fuel shall have passed.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion.

Where is none of us so hardened but
that when we have been able to aid our
fellow creatures by comforting a benefit
or bringing little comfort into their
lives we like to have appreciation
shown. This generally affords more
pleasure than the performance of the
act Itself, and in this connection the
following letter from Texas lady is Of
more than usual interest:
"Dear Friends: I address you as
such, for you have been such to me.
I suffered for three years off and on
with piles. I was treated at the hos
pital, and the new and elegant hos
pital, of Memphis; they only gave me
temporary relief. came west think
ing the change of air and water would
benefit me. Five months ago the bleed
ing piles came back on me, and bled so
much that thought would die.
II have had four of the finest doctors
IN this section of Texas; all they did
was to finally nearly let me go to my
grace; all they wanted was big
sum of money from me and to operate
on me. said no. no surgeons knife
would enter me: If it was my time to
die God knew 1t, and when died I
would die all together.
II began hearing about your medi-
cine. had no faith in you. but sent
and got box of your Pyramid Pile
Cure; in two days the blood flow had
elackened to one-half the amount, and
In one week felt so much better that
walked four blocks and did little
Homework 1 was not bleeding then: in
three weeks I was we'll.
b "God bless you for putting such a
wonderful medicine within the reach of
suffering men and women. / shall never
cease to recommend your medicine or
be without 1t; also used your Pyramid
Pills. Sallie A. Hearnion. Paris. Texas"
Testimony like this, (for the genuine
ness OF which we vouch.) should be
more convincing than all claims and as
sertions, and should leave no doubt in
the mind Of the reader as to the merit
OF the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure is
sold by druggists for fifty cents pack
age, or will be mailed by the makers TO
any address upon receipt of price. Write

their book on cause and cure Of piles.

met one newspaper man In New Or

on Guatemalan soil, has finally decided
that it had no jurisdiction whatever

ANTHRACITE IN WYOMING.
Black Hills Syndicate Will Develop
tho Fields.

Deadwood, S. D.. Jan. 13-The great
coal fields of northeastern Wyoming
are to be opened to production, and
eighty miles of railroad is to be built
to give the product an outlet. Capital
lists from Minneapolis, st. Paul and
eastern cities have undertaken the en-
terprise. Their local representative is
L. C. Twombly of Minneapolis, who
has devoted several months to ii
careful investigation of the coal mines
near Sundance, Wyo., and purchased
$500 acres of land in the heart of the
coal belt.
The promoters have organized the
Black Hills syndicate, with capital
ization of $1.25O,0O0. The syndicate has
purchased the coal lands and organized
the Black Hills & Wyoming Railroad
company. which has run the survey for
the building of road from Upton, a
station on the mainline of the Burling-
ton thru Wyoming, thru the coal
fields and Sundance to Beulah, Wye,
from where two spurs will be built, one
to connect with the Burlington at
Spearfish and the other to make con-
nections with the Elkhorn at Belle
Fourche.
Colonel Twombly has large force
engaged in the further exploitation of
the coal measures. There are three
strong bodies of coal underlying all the
territory in Its control, one vein near
the surface. one at depth of $50 feet,
and the third at 1926 feet The latter
has been explored with diamond drills,
and shows a thickness of eight feet,
The region is far enough from the
Black Hills to be beyond the influence
of the upheaval that formed the noun
tain range. 1t is a high and rolling
plateau between Beaver and Inyan
Kara creeks, ten miles west of sun
dance. The coal is of superior quality.

bon; 1853 per cent moisture; 1912 per
cent volatile hydro carbons and $50 per

ing of solid sandstone.
The building of the railroad will be
engineered by N, d. Miller, formerly
chief engineer for the Great Northern
railroad. who is expected to arrive in
a short time from st. Paul.
