RATTLERS MIXED THE COW.
Vermont Farmer Makes a Discoverv
Which Surprised Him and His
Neighbors as Well.

Simeon Johnson, farmer of TYSON.
VT, made a discovery recently which
so surprised him that he has spread the
marvellous tale from one end of the
county to the other.
For several months Sim has known
that some one or something has been
stealing milk from his pet Jersey COW.
His good wife told him that the Jersey
had simply dried up and that he was
"atd1cted with spell of imagination"
Sim, however, declared that he knew
that he knew, and sat up nights to dis
cover the thief. But he saw no invaders,
and the more sleep he lost the madder
he got.
Inc Jersey was one of herd of 20,
and as her milk was richer than that Of
the others the supply was saved for FAM
1ly use. She was quartered in a. stall
at the end of the COW stable and until
three months ago gave four quarts
morning and night. Then she suddenly
cut down her morning quota to little
or nothing Sim would have agreed
with his wife if Bess hadn't furnished
the usual amount at night and seemed
ravenously hungry.
1t made no difference whether Sim
watched or not; the milk was always
gone in the morning, although it was
several times established that at mid
night the supply was normal. 1t was
this fact more than anything else that
bothered Sim and gave him creepy and
uncanny sensations when he kept his
vlgils by the dim, uncertain light of an
old kerosene lantern: He couldn't fig
ure out why Bess should not give milk
in the morning when there was plenty at
midnight, or why she should be we'll
supplied at night and not at the early
milking.
Il don't believe there is anything
m1lkin' that cow" said Mrs. johnson
one day recently, "but if there is it
crawls, and you won't catch it unless
you clean out the bedding so you can
see the stall floor"
Sim allowed there might be some-
thing in this, and so he swept out the
stall and made Bess lie on the planks
instead of on fine bed of clean straw.
About nine o'clock he got his lantern
and once more took up his post of vigil.
He had begun to doze when he heard
Bess shift her position, and he held up
the light. He was just in time to see a
long, glisten1ng, sinuous form slip from
under the side of the reclining COW and
glide down rat-hole in the corner Of
the stall. At the same time he heard a
familiar sound that caused his hair to
stand on end.
"Rattlesnakes," he gurgled, and
grabbed a pitchfork. 49,. H..
Bess jumped to her feet and mooed
contentedly as the farmer advanced
cautiously and began careful invests
cation. There was but one rat-hole.
This led to q pile Of rocks under the
barn, and Sim retired to the house. In
the morning, with the help Of the hired
man, the rocks were removed, and five
rattlers, each three times its natural
size. were killed. According to the
number of rattles, all but one was
young, but exceedingly large and fat

Emergency Medicines.

It is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
Of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good lniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite if not
a household necessity is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. By applying it promptly
to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to- heal in
about one-third the; time :, usually res
quired, and as it is an antiseptic it pre-
vents any danger of blood poisoning.
When Pain Balm is kept at hand a
sprain may be- treated before infam-
nation sets in, which insures quick
recovery. For sale by all druggists.

!. Albert Lea Tribune: The general
expression of those who have been to
the Worlds fair at st. Louis is that
Minnesota has received small return
for the money invested by the state,
as the commission has been extrava-
CANT and no attempt has been made to
get the best results. Mitchell, the
executive agent Of the commission,
has been one of the Dunn lieutenants
during the late campaign instead of
attending to his duties in st. Louis and
for which he received over two hundred
dollars per month. The commission
has evidently made some very grave
errors or there has been unbridled
corruption. The state was generous in
the amount of money appropriated and
there should have been one of the best
state exhibits at the fair instead of one
of the poorest, as is now the case, as
per the general report made.

it the proper and legal thing for state
auditor to make valuable leases of the

officials in the same Office who have in

of outsiders in taking advantage of
them. The organs that will swallow

Public School.

Mr.. A. T. Stuart. superintendent OF public
schools, has ordered an investigation Of GER
tain charges made against Miss E. c. Dyer.
principal of the Taylor School, by Mr.. s.

sulting in the transfer of George Lang
ford son of the complainant, to another
school.
The recent disturbance occurred last
week, ii is said. when Miss Dyer asked
Louis Manning where his brother was and
why he was absent. The boys statement
that he did not know where his brother
was. according to the complainant, caused
the teacher to call him a liar.
After receiving from Mr.. Langford a let
ter in which the charge was made, Mr..
Stuart had Supervising Principal w. b.
Patterson begin an investigation. This Will
last several days. 1t is possible that Mr..
Patterson will have reported to Mr.. Stuart
by Wednesday, in which case, IL is under
stood, Mr.. Stuart will lay the matter before
