Il is the same Characteristic that
caused him to make of western men
his closest friends, and for the west
erners to take TO him.
No incident Of the Chicago conVen-
don was more greatly enjoyed by the
president than one in which one Of
these western friends played a prOmi-
nent part The friend In question was
Seth Bullock. He was a delegate to
the convention from the northwest,
and his tall, sparse frame doomed up
on the horizon and emitted shouts for
Teddy" at every opportunity. But
even his western ardor did not seem

and Bullock determined to demand
eastern assistance. His style called for
cheers, bands Of music and action, and
he could not understand why New York
the state which claimed Teddy" as its
own, did not awake to the necessity Of
the occasion. The first day passed
without a demonstration such as suit
ed Bullock, and at its close he was
disguised, but determined that an
other should not pass in the same way.
Taking with him that unmistakable
air Of the west, he walked over to the
headquarters Of the New York delega-
ton and announced:
I'm Seth Bullock from DeadwOod.
I'm for Teddy. I'm from the west. You
fellows from New York are frosty
you're good only for icing tea We've
got mosquitoes in the Black Hills that
have more blood in them than you
fellows. Now you whoop her up to-
morrow or I'll make trouble. Get &C

HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Dim- culties in Getting Goods to Cap
 ital of Guatemala.

A Mobile merchant sold some cotton goods not long ago to be delivered al Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his warehouse a steamer was loading for Puerto Barrios, whence runs railway to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan capital To reach the latter the goods would have to be packed over the noun tains by Indians or on muleback. The merchant found it cheaper to ship by way of San Francisco, thence by boat to San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap ital by rail New Orleans, terminus of the Southern Pacific, is almost next door to Mobile New York, however, en- loved a cheaper rate because there was competition with the routes across the Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn. So the goods were sent by boat to New York. thence by boat back to New Or leans, and thence on their way, going nearly 10000 miles instead of HOO by the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil- ity to get at the west coast markets has done much to keep American goods out of them. Guatamala has now arranged for the speedy completion of the rail way from the Caribbean to the capital and a cheap direct route will thus be opened.

All Furniture and Treasures of Isa- bella of Spain Except Personal
 Jewels to Go Under Hammer.

It has been decided that the personal jewels of the late Queen Isabella or Spain, who for many years lived in Paris. will not be sold as expected. The casket containing the precious stones, necklaces, etc, has been pro- visionally deposited at bank, and as soon as the affairs of the late queen are cleared up and the contents of her pal ace disposed of the Comte Quiaqui, who has charge of all these matters, will distribute the jewels among the royal family of Spain.
 On the other hand. tho furniture, ob- iects of art and all the other treasures in tho Palais de Castillo. Queen lsa- bella's home in the Avenue K1eber, op- posite the united States embassy, will be sold at public auction.
 < The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to San Sebastian to consult King Alfon- so's wishes on the subject and the auc- ton will probably take place early in the autumn. The catalogue is being prepared f.
 It is well known that the contents of the Palais de Castillo are marvels of beauty and worth and constitute veri- table museum. Several offers have been made for the palace itself and the surrounding gardens, but nothing den mite has yet been accepted. The estate covers 4,600 square yards Of land valued at $16o to $20o yard.

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome S25.OO solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- ful, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules.

MlLE-A-MlNurE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman Goes at Express Train
 Speed.

Among the many interesting experi- menus with motor boats, says the Lon- don Mail, perhaps the most pictui- esaue were those on the Seine at Puteaux. when Compte de LambeTt. in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton, brought out their bateau glisseur, or gliding boat. 1t is also called g hydroglaDe, end that name is really indicative of It's construction.
 With a De Dion l4-horse power mo- tor. the count attained a speed of 2S lilomoters an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made 32 kilomc- te1s, or 20 miles, in the hour
 The inventor of this hydroplane IS not, however, content with this. and will try in a day or two to raise the speed to B or even 40 kilometers. or 20 miles an hour, or speed that IS not exceeded by the use of 40-horse power motor. -x .l
 The boat itself is 36 feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom or the boat are afixed five planes or ms. When the boat is stationary these fms hang vertically in the water. They are hinged, however. and are all under control of the driver. When the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow. are gradually given a backward angle. The boat rises III the water and then gradually rests upon 1t, with the stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat. following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of the water just as an aeropiane glides on the air. and with not muca more resistance.
 It is confidently expected that with an increased horsepower motor tae hydroplane will reach a speed or oo miles an hour.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human fife because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until tue constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first appea,unee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they have serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1able value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in bottle of Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself Tn the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used 1t as last resort, in cases that dehed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having the genuine Prick1y Ash BitterS with the large figure ill red on the front label

Marketing the BroiIers.

Most broiler chickens are marketed
dry picked This is partly due to
the fact that the people educated up
to approaching fine broilers are critic
al, and the better appearance of the
dry picked chicken both enhances its
value and increases the consumptiye
demand. Most of the picking is done
by professionals, who are paid so much
apiece and who go from one broiler
plant to another as work is offered.
The usual price paid for picking broil-
ers is 8 to 4 cents apiece, and the pick
er engaged to pick them not infre-
quently employs Primers to assist
him. He does the killing and trough
picking and passes the chicks on to
the Primers to finish. The pfnfeather-
ing and cleaning up require patience
and nimble fingers.

DIFFERENCE IN TURKEYS.
Organ of the Provision Dealers
Makes a Few Pertinent Remarks.

Organ of the Provision Dealers
Makes a Few Pertinent Remarks.
The turkey grower and feeder has
much to learn. His ignorance or what
he has to learn is involved in the diff
ference in the wholesale prices of holt
day turkeys. 1t costs as much in time
to grow cheap as it does a dear
turkey. 1t costs as much per pound
to freight each to market It takes
more skill to properly fatten and favor
the higher priced turkey, but il there
is anything which the turkey raiser
has plenty of 1t is time. All he re-
quires is more knowledge about his
business.
One naturally asks himself this
question: Why were prime Rhode
Island turkeys 35 cents per pound,
Vermont turkeys 80 cents, and Ken
lucky turkeys Is cents per pound,
wholesale, last Christmas? The breeds
were the same. The whole matter was
question of feeding. The swell trade
pays for flavor. If the difference were
in the breed of the birds, the fifteen
thirty cent breed. 1t is said that tur-
keys brought up near the salt air are
sweeter than those raised in the in
terror But Long Island turkeys do
not fetch anything like the price
which the Rhode Island and Vermont
birds command from dealers. Butter
milk and bran fed chickens are higher
priced. Just what the secret of the
traditional Rhode Island thirty-five
cent bird is the trade does not seem to
know. Climate and feed and water
are the alleged factors, but SO general
an explanation will not account for
the result. It is a well known fact
that these high priced birds are all
snapped up by the exclusive trade, and
it is suspected that a lot of stray fancy
birds from elsewhere are sold as
Rhode Islands or Vermonters.
If it takes the same time to grow
cheap as it does a prime turkey the
poultry farmer is remiss in not suffi-
GENTLY studying his business so as to
utilize his time and effort to produce
better meat. Three hundred fifteen
pound turkeys at Is cents per pound
wholesale are worth S675. The same
number of yermonters of the same
size, but at 80 cents per pound, fetch
81, $780, The difference in care and feed
in a general poultry plant cannot ex-
coed the cost of the cheaper stock by
more than % per cent, or about $170,
leaving a net gain of $505 on the senti-
mental price. The great complaint of
the poultry market is against the i'm
mense amount of trashy poultry thin,
tough, stringy stuf-thrown upon the
market No one wishes it. There is
always a good demand for nice fowls
at good prices. The turkey raiser has
a lot to learn in his own interest and in
that of the public.-National Provi-
sioner.
