A WHITEHALL PAWN
THE UNUSUAL ANTICS OF A
 VERY PRETTY PET.
Takes Its Milk from a Bottle and En- joys Being Petted by Its Owner Knows His Feeding
 Time

Several weeks ago I devoted an arti- cle to an account of a little fawn, which had broken it's leg in the Blue mountain forest been picked up by & guide, and turned over to me for study. At that time he was beautifully marked with white spots, which, as I pointed out. may serve to protect lawns from their enemies, by causing them to closely resemble patches of daisies or other white flowers which bloom at time when the animals are young and helpless Now, the white flowers are over and the white spots have disappeared, too, and his coat is almost a uniform brown. But his col bring is still protective, for now he matches the brown grass and the bushes and the fallen leaves.
 For a lCng time, we fed the fawn chiefly on milk, the amount of which was increased until the little fellow was taking three quarts a day. But gradually We gave him more and more liberty. and as he was thus able to pick up more food for himself the milk supply Was gradually reduced again. Now. We do not shut him up at all, but give him the run of a large garden night and day, and he needs but pint of milk. night and morning. But he never forgets that this milk Is coming 10 him, and as We sit at breakfast, stands on his hind legs and with his front hoofs resting on the window sill, ga2es wistfully at Us with his great. mild eyes. Then l go out to feed him. as usual. with pint bottle, from which he still sucks his milk through an ordinary rubber nipple. Sometimes l do not hand it to him as quickly as he seems to think l should, and he gets impatient. and, standing on his hind legs. he strikes me sharply with his hard. pointed hoofs. And he can keep his balance wonderfully well. too and for considerable tine, and now and then, for fun, l make him walk on his hind legs for 2o yards or more. while he continues to suck his milk from the bottle, which, ef course. is held high in the air. As he is walking thus. the toes of his hind ffet are spread as far apart as possible. and the lower part of his body Ee- minds one of satyr. II the mil. does

not flow fast enough for him, he bleats impatiently, and almost always, if he happens to be standing on all fours while he is taking his milk, he paws the air with his front feet, one at time.
 If he sees any of us setting out for a walk, he usually wants to go with us, and, if allowed to, he walks along quietly, sometimes in front and some times behind Yesterday took him for walk. and he went along well enough until we came to shallow pond by the side of the road. Into he water he ran, and, this beng the first pond he had ever seen, he acted just like a child with new toy. First he began to paw the water vigorously with his fore feet, putting his head down, and evidently trying t9 take a sort of shower bath. Then he would gallop about in the pond, CT jump right out of the water, and come down with a splash. In frisking about, ae finally lost his footing and fe.l down the wa ter going over his head. When he arose, it was evident that he was not wet to the skin mes of the water had rolled off, and the rest stood in drops on the hair, and flew ava. when he shook himsel. .h~n ne set off for a run, going at top SD, ed uI hill and down dale, and tleaTing stone walls and bushes as thougI were run ming s,eeplee Q After going nearly a qulr CT of a m l.. ae turned and came back past m tnl to turn again when q art o. mile in the other Teeeicn.

 l No matter how busy the fawn has been during the day, ne seldom tors6ts his bottle of milk at night, and som, time during the evening We are pretty sure to hear his little hoofs patterins on the floor of the piazza If a door i. opened, in he comes. gently but fear lessly. and after t2i irg his milk, anC perhaps slice of bread or cake, h patters gently out again into the dark ness.

What the Baby Needed.

"I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about year ago il suddenly occurred 10 me what a great coffee drinker was and thought may be this might have some- thing to do with my trouble. so l shifted to tea for awhile but was not better. if anything worse.
 At that time 1 had baby four months old hat wc had to feed on the bottle, until an old lady friend told me to try PoStum Food Coffee. Three months ago l commenced using Pos tum, leaving of the tea and coffee. and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared but since then 1 have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby and have a large, healthy child now.
 "I have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children. and hope all who have children will try Fostum and find out for themselves what really wonder ful food drink it is" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.
 Both tea and coffee contain quantf- ties of a poisonous drug called Caffeine that directly affects the heart. kidneys 1 stomach and nerves. Postum is made from cereals only, scientifically blend ed to get the coffee flavor Ten days trial of Postum in place of tea or coffee will show health secret worth more

 Thy hysiciau-Particulars of a Re- markablc Case.
 The natural reluctance which every woman feels to consult a physician re- garding troHblcs peculiar to her sex caused Mrs C.Weber, of No. 16S5 South Front street. Columbus, Ohio, to let her illness run oa until it became chronic. and even the excellent doctor whom she employed could give her no relief that was permanent. Sho gives the follow ing details of an interesting case:
 ''I felt the trouble a long timo before I went to our doctor perhaps year or more When did consult him he told me 1 had female trouble. Ifelt sharp pains through my stomach and could not walk across the room without suffering az onics which cannot describe. My head ached SD that it fairly thHmped and at times it seemed that I would go crazy. My stomach became so weak that 1t would retain only the lightest food. Week after week I took the doctors medicine, but 1 continued to feel worse and worse. On several occasions I was confined to my bed for week q q time. My weight decreased to 102 pounds and 1 seemed confirmed invalid.
 " One day read of ease similar 10 mine that had been cured by Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and, although did not have much confidence, I began taking the pills, having already discontinued my doctors treatment. While l was taking the second box 1 be- gan to feel Il little better and tho inn proYemcnt confirmed until I was cured, In few months I had recovered my health and strength and weighed i32 pounds. l eve everything 10 Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. '
 No discovery ef modern times has proved such n blessing to women as Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting direetlvou :he blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength and health in the exhausted patient when every effort of the physician proves un- availing. These pills are sold ill boxes at 50 cents box, or six boxes for 8 10, and may be had from all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medicine O., Sche- neetady: \. !

The Iron That Gave Is ie"dershiP


 The economic results of the discov- cry and development of the Mesaos range of ore form one of thc most i'm portant industrial facts in the past half-century. Since the first shipment rom the Mesabi in lS99. tae iron ore production of the United states has ln- creased from 16,0oo GOO to 39,0eo.oOo tons per annum the pig ion product from 5000 o00 to lS00odot. the steel output from a little more than f.ooo.- 900 tons to l5.000Qoo: while the iron and steel exports of the tni,ed States have grown from about S2Eoooooo year 10 $l20. .0e0.00o During hese dozen years NC have become the 5reater iron and-steel- producing country. The Me sahi was the greatest single factor in this achievement. and, without the vast resources of the Mesabi. the present dominance of the United States in iron and steel would have been delayed per- hans for decades \ sixth of the an- aual iron-ore product of the world which is more than a third of the year iy production of America comes from an iron range that was unknown in 1890. The ahi range on Lake Su- perior yields ore enough TO make as much iron and steel as all Great Bri- tain makes. and her industrial domi- nancy was founded on iron. During the fifty years ending December Ii. 1903 inc Marquette range on Lake Superior yielded more ore than any other mines; but the Mesabi range has pro Guced almost as much in twelve year as the Marquette produced :n fifty. II inc use of steel, the cheap and abund ant ores of the Mesabi have produeet a revolution. They have enabled tn, railroads. within the past -tx years. | relay 'rlth heavy steel rails, almost tn whole gail mileage of the Unite states '--The Worlds Work.
