Why We Sell to Canada.

A Canadian trade journal. speaking
against the preferential tariff in favor
of Great Britain, says: "In the list of
200 enumerated dutiable articles i'm
ported into Canada in 1903 there are
forty-one opposite the names Of which
is printed the suggestive word none
indicating that Great Britain had
failed to supply us with one dollars
worth, while the United States sent
us, of the identical goods, to the value
of S4.S97 $50; and it will also be OBJ
served that In addition to the failure
alluded to, there are fifty-one other
items not one of which our imports
from Great Britain amounted in value
to as much as $1,000. The aggregate
value of these fifty-one articles
amounted to only S15.763, while our
imports of the identical goods from
the United States amounted to $5,-
276.734. These are startling facts,
which should command attention"

Safe on the Plate.

Public, school regulations require
that the pupils shall be over the
threshold of the classroom door when
the bell rings at 8 O'Clock, or be ac-
counted late. Yesterday morning a
little girl was within a foot or two of
the door to her classroom when the
bell rang. At the same instant she
stumbled and fell. Realizing that If
she stopped long enough to pick her
self up she would be late, she threw
herself forward as a baseball player
slides for base, and managed to pro-
Ject her outstretched arms and head
into the classroom. In this position
she looked up at the teacher and said:
I'm in"
The teacher grasped the situation in
a moment, and. without smile, rem
dered her decision:
"Safe!"
The little girl picked herself up and
went to her accustomed seat, to be
marked early on the records of her
class.-New York Sun.

Emergency Telegraph Equipment.

It's far cry from Manila to Balti.
more. but the war in the Philippines
taught telegraph companies a trick
that came in handy at the big con.
flagration.
The exigencies of the campaign of
our troops in the Eastern archipelago
necessitated the organization of the
most elaborate emergency telegraph
lines. A clever electrician devised
apparatus that was collapsible and re-
ducible to an extent which would
make fortymile telegraph line fit
into an army wagon.
This outfit included not only full
stand of quadruplex instruments and
fittings sufficient to permit operators
to work. but dynamo and Kerosene
engine to run it, together with fuel
for the engine. 1t only remained to
string the wires to trees or any other
projections, and the line was ready.

This Is Miraculous,'

Manhattan, Kans., March 14.-One
of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that of
the three-year-old daughter Of ME.
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough. which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child. running and playing as If
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life, when she was so far
into the chronic stage of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
save her"

trict engineer for the United States
Reclamation Service for Nevada, has
recently been in Washington and
reports the satisfactory progress of the
Truckee-Carson reclamation project,
or which he has immediate charge
This project contemplates the utiliz-
| alton of the waters of the Truckee
and Carson rivers for the irrigation of
about $4,000 acres of sage brush des-
ert in western Nevada. These lands
VIII furnish homesteads of about so
acres each for about 4500 families. 1t
is expected that with the addition of
the towns and villages that will natu-
rally spring up in the district, the
population of the state will be in
creased in the next few years by at
least 10000 people.
Active construction is now in prog
gress on main canal about thirty-one
miles long, which is to divert the wat
ers of Truckee river to a large storage
reservoir on the lower Carson river
There the waters of the two streams
will be mingled and impounded, and
thence led out upon the plains in the
vicinity of the Carson and Humboldt
Sink. Two contracts for the construc-
tion of different divisions of this canal
were made by the secretary of the In

the requisite system of distributing
canals are well under way, and the
department will be ready in the
spring to contract for their construc-
ton This work will be followed by
the erection of dam which will form
the reservoir on the Carson river.
The reservoir will have total length
of about eighteen miles and will flood
over 10000 acres of land to an average
depth of twenty-eight feet.
The lands to be irrigated by these
works aggregate about 100000 acres.

Truckee, Carson and Humboldt river
basins. In the upper valley of the
Truckee and Carson rivers some $4,000
acres of additional land will be sup
piled from works to be constructed

great areas are gradually brought un-
der cultivation, and a greater water
supply is required, ten additional res
ervoirs, including Lake Tahoe, are to

Questioned Taft's piue stion.

How is your digestion? Is your
stomach weak? Does it subject you
to Inconvenience and distress by day.
and disturb your rest by night? Does
indigestion acquaint you with the hor-
rors of dyspepsia?"
These questions were propounded to
Secretary Taft in the first letter he re-
ceived after entering upon his duties
as head of the War Department. The
questions were clipped from news
paper advertisement, and beneath
them was the picture of an insomnia
patient.
The following note accompanied the
questions:
ITO the Secretary of War-Sir:
The inclosed questions are addressed
to your conscience as public officer.
Unless you can answer them in the
negative you should Immediately re-
sign. From a Common or Garden

Gently. While seated one evening at
the fire she heard a rustling noise at
the window, and on looking out she
seemed to see the face of her daughter
pressing against the pane. The old
woman was much startled, as her
daughter resided in America So
alarmed did she become, that she
went to neighbor's house and slept
all night. A week afterward she re.
ceived word to the effect that her
daughter had been killed in a railway

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because It
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
'pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you q
12-oz. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Denance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures. "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time ano
money and the annoyance of the iron

Plenty Of Advice for Brides, but Not a
Word for the Poor Men.

NS'N WI thC IOOT MGn.
A thoughtful young man of Wash
ington was heard to decry the other
day the fact that while there is a
deluge of "don'ts" and "dos" for the
bride to follow. the bridegroom must
shift for himself.
There is absolutely nothing to
guide man but his own awkward
self. 1t isn't fair" he said. From
the time girl is old enough to detect
sound she understands the import
ance OF having things done properly
at wedding. while the prospective
groom is only something necessary to
complete the picture. Nothing short
OF inspiration can get man through
marriage ceremony gracefully.
In order to impress the bride and
spectators that he is enthusiastic
about it. he appears with sort of
frozen grin on his face that you ex-
pect to melt at any moment and run
down his collar. II he is too fright
ened to respond in loud voice some
of the brides girl friends will whisper
that 1T was plainly evident he was
unwilling from the start Again. il
he replies in loud, stern voice, an
other bunch in another direction of
the church will huddle together and
express how glad they are that they
are not marrying him, while the atti-
tude of many is that they are signing
away their life and all worth living
for. So l, for one, think it high time
that somebody wrote few hints on
how to behave, that we men may ap-
pear enthusiastic about being mar
ried without being ridiculous and
proving target for the world in gem
eral to knock at."-Washington Post.
