A Road Climbed a Tree.

General Chambers McKibben was
once sent out to examine and report
upon a road in the far west. He was
ordered to ascertain its condition and
where it led to. He followed instruc
tions carefully, and in his report de
tailed how it followed certain brooks
and streams, went over rolling prair
les, passed different groves, and final
" up hill and climbed a tree.
II think you had better leave that
out" said his commanding officer
This report is to go through the
usual military channels and will be
filed. A road would not go up tree.
THAT is where this road went" in
sisted McKibben. 1T kept getting
fainter and fainter. but it led up the
hill and right up to that tree. There
was no evidence Of even trail behind
the tree, but it was blazei far up tow
ard the top, and that was the end o1
the trail. No, sir; this report stands
I am prepared to substantiate every
part of it."
And it is so recorded in the arch
ives of the war department.-Wash

Heavy Fire Losses.

"The fire losses in the United States and Canada during the first four months of this year were as great as those during the entire year of 1903. '' said New York fire insurance man
 ''The great amount of losses, of course, has been augmented by the confiagra- tions in Baltimore, Rochester and Toronto. cannot say whether the great losses will have the effect of raising the rates in general the first of the year, but one thing Is certain, that the lire protective features of large cit ies will be more carefully looked into. The rates possibly will be raised in the sOngested districts of the large cities. ?

SHE WAS ALL PREPARED.
So That When Hobson Sneezed His Good Wife Was Right There
 with the Remedy.

5srA
 MT. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson remarked that he must have caught cold. MT. Hobson is one of those men who hate to have fuss made over them. He has been trying to impress that fact on his wife's mind for 20 years, relates the Chicago Daily News.
 What makes you think I've taken cold ?' he demanded, irritably.
 You sneezed,' replied Mrs. Hob- son.
 That doesn't signify" He paused.
 ''But it does signify It is one of the first signs of cold. You went out with the ashes this morning without thing round your neck.
 .1I always do' ~
 SAnd now you've caught cold" <
 MT. Hobson returned to the reading of his newspaper without replying. Tn a few moments Mrs Hobson said:
 "Henry:'
 tfWelI?" k{
 You've got to do something for that cold.'' Cant I sneeze without being accused of cold? Is there any law against oAlOOH1h6y OA 0O udNC u B0I d PO1lllL from the health department?"
 T don't see anything foolish in taking cold in time" Mrs Hobson said, calm ly. If you would let me put your feet in hot water and mustard, and get you to bed-'"
 MT. HobsOn resumed his paper, and as he did so he felt an annoying tickling in his nose. He struggled heroically for nearly half a minute. Then he sneezed again.
 There" said Mrs Hobson, in melan- choly triumph. You've sneezed again!"
 "I've sneezed twice, and I'm not ashamed of it." Hobson replied, coldly. sIf feel like it, I'm going to sneeze again. I'm" Three successive and violent sternu- tations interrupted him.
 Now will you let me heat that water, Henry7"
 No, thank you"
 will you take some quinine, then?" "No."
 Mrs. Hobson sighed
 "Sneezes," MT. Hobson explained. are convulsions caused by an irritation of a sensitive membrane. The irritation may be caused by the introduction of any small particle of foreign matter, such as grain of dust. Snuff has been known to produce sneeze; so aspepper You can get up g. fairly good imitation by l tickling the nostrils with straw. It is l not, as you imagine, an infallible indi- cation of a cold"
 sI suppose" said Mrs. Hobson, reflect lively, that you would object to an onion 1 poultice, too?'
 Hobson rose from his chair and started for the door. With his hand on the knob he paused to say, with dignity: l I'm going up to my room now. I've got some work to do, so guess had better be alone for the rest of the evening"
 Hobson sneezed twice on the way up- stairs. Then the door of his den closed explosive4y. Fifteen minutes later the door opened and Hobson's voice called, down the stairs: ''Maria!"
 What is it, dear?"
 Say, if you think I really ought to take hot foot bath Itsuppose it won't do any particular harm, whether I've got cold or not Would it be troubling you too much to heat the water ?"
 Mrs. Hobson's voice replied cheer ! fully:
 l "It's all ready now, dear. I've heated 1t and got some blankets nice and hot. When you're ready I'll bring them up.''
