Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

French Game.

A game adapted from the French
that is very popular among the lit
tie people of America is good test
for the memory. 1t is played as
follows:
The children must sit in a circle,
and one, as leader, announces in this
fashion:
81 pack my trunk, and in it |
put mentioning some article
used in travelling, as gloves, brush
or cologne.
The next child begins then, say
ing what the leader has said and
adding another article, and SO on
around the circle, each child re-
peating all the articles mentioned
by the leader i'm their correct order
and then adding one more to the
list, which after awhile assumes
lengthy proportions.
If one boy or girl forgets one ar
ticle or puts it in the wrong order,
he or she must drop out of the game,
and the last child remaining has
the privilege of starting new game

The Intense Cold In Tibet.

The intense cold found at the
high elevations over which the Brit
ish troops lately marched into Tibet
nearly disabled the Maxims and RI
files. The officers of the guns had to
clear the locks of the Maxims of oil
and carry them in their breast
pockets to keep them warm and dry,
and the men took their rifles to bed
with them. Otherwise the oil would
freeze into q clogging mess, which
would cause mistires. The water
jackets of the Maxims became a
source of danger, and even mix
ture of one-quarter rum did not
prevent the water from freezing.

The Humminq Bird.

One of the prettiest and most in
teresting of birds common to the
eye is the humming bird. 1t is Sc
very little and dainty and goes about
its work with such an air of author
itv that one loves to watch it as it
fits in and out Of the honeysuckles,
One must be very still, for the
slightest noise frightens it away.
1t has very gorgeous colorlng
The upper parts are shining green,
the wings and tail are quite dark
and the throat is blazing red.
In the winter it goes from south
ern Florida to Central America.
The nest is a very cute structure
1t is made of plant down, then GOV.
cred over with moss lichens and
small plant fbers and is usually
built in orchard trees or oaks. The
eggs are two in number and of a
beautiful pure white.
Its favorite dish is the honey and
small insects which it discovers in
the flowers that it frequents.--Bos,

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
An Indian Boys Odd Description OF
the Horse.

TIC EIoISCs
Here is the description of a horse
written by an Indian boy, a student
at Carlisle, Pa. Do you think it Is
correct, and, if not, how would you
improve it:
"The horse is a very noble quad
ruped, but when he is angry he will
not do so. He is ridden on the spl-
nal cord by the bride, and sadly the
driver places his foots on the stir
rups and divides his lower limbs
across the saddle and drives his ami
NAL to the meadow. He has four
legs; two are on the front side and
two are afterward. These are the
weapons on which he runs. He also
defends himself by extending these
in the rear in parallel direction to-
wards his foe, but this he does only
when he is in an aggravated mood
There is no animal like the horse
No sooner they see their guardian OF
master than they always cry fol-
food, but it is always at the morn
ing time. They have got tails, bul
not so long as the cow and such 9th,
er like animals"

Wits Little Early Risers. Bob

A Wrapping Paper Flute.

A little flute from which a good
deal of amusement may be derived
can be made by wrapping a piece OF
paper around a pencil to make a
tube. Paste the edge fast, and &c
one end of the tube fasten a trian
gular piece of paper somewhat lar
ger than the opening.
To play the flute draw in your
breath through the open end of the
tube. The difference in pitch will
depend upon how hard YOU breathe

HONOR IN POLITICS.

IN inviting the House Of Representatives 20
declare his own election invalid and to seat his
counted out opponent the Hon. John f. Shat
roth. OF Colorado exhibited a virtue not over
common in our politics. Political feeling has
too often led each party in the House TO vote
contestants in and sitting members out with
no very scrupulOus regard for the equities OF
the contest. (which is our BANKED rascalY"
asked Thaddeus Stevens once. when the House
was settling a disputed title. In recent years,
however, partisanship has played a less I'm
portant role in the Houses decisions. Especial
" since the division Of the old Committee on
Elections into three separate standing commit
tees the feeling has spread that each contest
should he carefully and impartially investigated
and settled without political bias. Much TO its
credit the House has actually begun TO frown
on the old freebOotng methods which encour-
aged each party TO assan title II It could or
defend a title If 1t must, regardless Of the vio-
lence done to individual rights or abstract Jus
tee.
Mr. Shafroth's manly surrender Of a seat 10
which he felt he had not been elected empha-
sizes still more fOrcibly the changed temper
in which the House now approaches the set
tlement Of election disputes. In November,
1902, the returns from the LIST Colorado Dis
trict showed Mr.. Shafroth's reelection over
Robert w. Bonynge by a plurality Of 2.792.
The sitting member had been elected TO the
LTVth Congress as a Republican, 70 the LVth,
LYIth and LYITth as a Silver Republican or
Fusionist and 10 the LyIIIth as a Democrat
IN 1902 the power OF the Silver Republican
DemOcratic-Populist coalition in Colorado was
broken. The Republicans carried the State for
Governor, elected a Representativeat-large and
recaptured the lid Congress District In the
LIST District which includes the city OF Denver
only the operations OF a corrupt and desperate
Democratic ring prevented similar Republican
victory.
Excluding two election districts in Denver,
the Republican candidate had a plurality In
the Congress district OF 1887. But those two
Denver districts were made 20 roll up ficti-
tious plurality for Mr.. shafroth OF 4,629. Den
yer has been infested Cor some years past by
Democratic repeaters, the quality OF whose
work IS disclosed in the fact that in the two
"Tenderloin" districts aforesaid. OF 500 bal
lots examined about GOO were found TO have
been prepared" IN advance by two or three
local workers. Mr.. Shafroth in his speech 20
the House sale very candidly that on making
q personal examination Of these ballots which
were preserved and sent 10 Washington. he be-
came convinced that the entire vote OF the two
districts should be rejected for fraud and that
III he were a judge on the bench considering
this case"
Mr.. Shafroth, Il may be suggested. merely
made a virtue a necessity. But political Gus
tom would have justified him n retaining his
