LIVE STOCK JOKE.
How It Was Sprung Upon Prominent
Clergyman.


Rev. Richard E. Sykes is telling his
Denver friends a joke on himself,
which he relates with great glee. As
is known, he recently resigned his pas
torate In Denver to take charge OF
congregation In suburb OF Boston.
On Wednesday he was down at one
of the freight depots shipping his goods
to his new home.
THE clerk did not know me-" is the
way DR.. Sykes tells the story. "and
when he had listed my goods he leaned
over and asked:
Say. mister. do you have any live
animals?
Il was somewhat surprised at tho
question, but quickly and truthfully
answered that | had not.
Well he went on, let me give
you tip. II you have a donkey or q
burro or something like that you could
ride through for nothing In the car,
to take care OF it.
Il would like to go into Boston in
that manner. wouldn't ~" and he
laughed with great satisfaction.
The portion of the story which Mr..
Sykes did not know IL that the query
put to him Is one Of the stock jokes at
the freight depots. II he had shown q
certain trep!dation when tho first query
was asked. 1t would have eventually
led to n suggestion that maybe his beds

While the mother was unpacking
an old trunk little Is months old
baby got hold OF bottle Of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was SO badly burned It
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. Tho
mother says In telling of the case:
ut was all two doctors could do to
save him as It burnt his throat and
stomach SO bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally I
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape-Nuts and am thankful I adopt
ed the food for he commenced to get
better right away and would not eat
anything else. He commenced to get
fieshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well.
IL took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to
eat he called for Grape-Nuts and
would have to explain how he came
to call for It as It was his main food.

Romance of a Farm

A romantic story, one In which a
number Of stirring incidents are relat-
ed, is told of little farmhouse and
forty-seven acres of land that within
the last week have been turned over
to a great church organization for an
orphanage.
The property is located on the main
line of the Northwestern road, about
two hours out from Chicago, and adj
joins the little village Of Nachusa. The
land was handed down from genera
ton to generation by family OF the
name of Dysart. BY member Of this
family 1t was originally taken up from
the government, and remained in the
family until it fell into the possession
Of Col. Alexander Dysart, who for
years was one of the best known citi-
zens of this section. He was man
of some eccentricities, but beloved by
the whole community. He raised .
family Of sons, three Of whom became
engineers on the Northwestern road
and are now running trains. The colo
mel, during his lifetime, improved the
old home, which in early years was
but cabin, until it assumed the pro.
portions of a fine country home. He

When the colonel was well along in
years he fell in love with widow,
and against the wishes Of his family
married her, only to be divorced in a
few years.
Within sight of the Dysart home
was the farm of Peter Durham, a
sturdy German, the father Of an in

was daughter, Mary, who grew up to
be as pretty lass as could be found
in all Lee county. A farmers daugh-

That adult mosquitoes live through
the winter Is evident to all who have
seen and felt them on the first warm
days Of early spring, says writer In
the Literary Digest. Now we are told
in addition that larvae and even the
egg OF the insect may survive great
cold. Says a writer in the Revue
Scientifique:
1T is well known that mosquitoes
hibernate in the adult state; a certain
number Of these vexatious insects
pass the winter in various retreats
in slaughter houses, granaries, cellars.
ETC., and in the spring they resume
active life and multiply their kind.
Information, however, does not always
take place in the adult form only;
the larvae can also pass the winter
with safety. This has been shown by
the observations of John B. Smith
made during the winter of 1901-1902
and at the end of 1902. The winter
cold does not regularly destroy
