A Continual Strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves badly
and bringing on kidney and liver all
ments, with the attendant evils of con-
stipation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness,
low vitality and dependency. They can
not, as a rule, get rid of this 'continu-
al strain, but they can remedy its health
destroying effects by taking frequent
doses of Green's August Flower. It tones
up the liver, stimulates the kidneys, in
sures healthy bodily functions, gives
vim and spirit to ones whole being, and
eventually dispels the physical or men
tai distress caused by that continual
strain" Trial bottle of August Flower
Csc: regular size, IS. At all druggists.

Eel Plugged the Pipe.

From Washington Times.
 It was not a case of snakes the Maltby Building had yesterday, but it was some thing just as bad.
 Early in the morning it was discovered by some of the senators who have their offices in the big senate annex that the building had gone dry. Not drop of water could be obtained from the pipes above the first floor of the building.
 The calls which went out for janitors and engineers and plumbers indicated q terrible thirst. When the hours of search failed to locate the cause of the drought the curiosity of the senators was keyed to a high pitch, and many of them joined in the search for the obstruc- tion
 No leak was located. The main In front of the building was supposed to be all right, as other buildings in the neighborhood had not gone dry, and the plumbers decided the trouble must be In the pipe connecting the building with the main. A search brought to light a great eel, which proved an effective plug to the pipe. The slippery creature was alive. in spite of the close quarters into which 1t had been forced by the water pressure. and was exhibited to the senators In proof of the cause of the water famine.

face one of the sweetest characters in all history. The father represents the man of the world, the man of ambition, and in one sense the man of selfish ambition and the man of sin. The daughter repre- sents, in a humble sense, the type of Jesus, as she died for sin in which she was not a participant. The one charac- ter signifies eternal grace. Upon the gloom of Jephthah's painful history an ethereal brightness shines. What can be more beautiful" once said Dr. Wiseman, more wonderful, than this pure and lovely maid, brought up among bandits and far from the tabernacle of God, thus freely offering herself as thank offering for the victories of Israel? And who can fail to see in the story of the meek and self sacrificing maiden a marvellous and mysterious adumbration of better sac rihce of another soul of an only child perfectly free and voluntary. and of vr- gin holiness and heavenly purity, the sacrifice of Christ. who gave his spotless soul to death for our sakes.' In this sweet story of the lovely maiden dying for her fathers sins can you not, man, learn the lesson of how Christ died that you might live? will you not accept that divine sacrifice as an atonement Tor your sins?
 Renounce Sin.
 The human and divine sacrifices of life! Who can overlook them? We glory in the fact when a hero physically save mankind. When Dr. Robert Koch, the noted discoverer of the bacilli of tuber- culosis advocated the idea that the tu- berculosis of cattle was not infectious for man, and a young bacteriologist, to prove that theory false, inoculated him- self with the cattle tuberculosis germ and died as a result of the inoeulauon, we said: That is glorious, that is grand! That young man died that in order that we might physically live. He died in or der to prove the necessity of our guard ing against the tuberculosis of the dumb brute" But this young maiden Of my text did more than to die in order that her father might live. l can imagine that in the crude belief of those days IL may have been held that the man who failed to fulfill his deliberate VOW would perish eternally. It maye have been that Jephthah's daughter yielded her Iife 10 avert that dreadful fate from her fatner If so, how heroic was her sacrifice! How he must have loved her for doing so' while he bewailed the rash VOW that had made 1t necessary, Have we no love for Christ, whose death was rendered necessary by our transgressionsl lie who died to save us for our grateful love. Can we withhold 1t? Let us ever hate and renounce the sin which he died to wine away, and let us give to him our hearts adoration and conseerate our lives to his service
 We too, with him are dead
 And shall with him arise.
 The cross on which he hung his head
 Shall wait us to the skies.

Delights of the Unexpected.

From HarperS Weekly.
 Even the dangers of literature are les- sened for the very young by their free powers of encouragement and application. A little girl of 4 who had been taken to church reproduced the whole scene with much ingenuity, taking for text, as she stood in her highchair. Lead me in the paths of righteousness In the presence of mine enemies," and then, descending and donning her fathers old college cap, she sang with vim and endless reiterations, Let your light so shine that God will not put you in a bushel."
 Religious instruction as sifted through the childish intelligence often results odd ly, and one little girl of strong theological predllectlons was heard instructng younger child thus: Now I'll tell you exactly how l am made. First, there Is little round me that Is busy and does things; over that l wear a skeleton of bones and then all the sinful lusts of the flesh" Upon the superfoiality of sin she might have been interpreted as having definite convictions, but when 1t came to the nature of Diety, patriotism obstruct- ed her vision, for she wavered and finally confessed, q don't know much about God. anyway; only one thing for sure, He is d Virginisn."
 On being told of a friends death, q
  eyed and rosy, at the foot of her bed, and swiftly propounded these questions:
 Did her body get to heaven?
 "Will her soul take up her skeleton?
 Docs a soul have any kind of feet?
 When she gets there will God put an angel head upon her?
 "Will she wear a shirtwaist and skirt2
 'I don't want to die, because of the valley of the shadow of death; that must be very dark"
 Then, without a pause, came as con clusion quick laying aside of the whole matter as she sang out, cheerily, "I am going to hop to my bath on one foot, and she did, chanting as she went, "D-e-a-d-dead, dead. dead"

Someone hazarded the suggestion that this man was not given to the splitting of moral hairs when he was endeavor- ing to conserve the interests of his client.
 Why, he says himself" said this critic of ethics, that when he goes to the court room he leaves his con science in his office"

Eating When Tired.

From the Washington Star.
 Every one should know that to eat when tired Is to place upon the digestive organs a burden which they are wholly unable to bear. When the body is in a state of fatigue the digestive organs are unable to perform their natural func- tons; the glands of the stomach will not form gastric juice. the saliva Is deficient in quantity and the whole digestive ap-

Locals of q
Wider Nature.


Covered wagons from Watertown passed through
here this week for the country seventy miles west OF
Pierre, where the occupants expect to build houses this
winter on land they took there last fall.
A fued between two families in a prairie section OF
22 gears standing; caused by one woman gettlngahoad OF
the. other in %gobbling up buffalo chips from the ground
for fuel, has just been made up. The buffalo chip to the
first settlers here was coveted as, much as was the mana
of cid by the children of Israel in the wilderness. The
quarrel IN question started when one"of the ladies got a
hustle on herself early one Christmas morning by play
ing early bird and cleaning the earthen platter of ALI the
chips for a mile around before the sleeping sister got up.
When the scoop was discovered by the drowsy n~eighbor
LADY, she declared lasting enmity towards the wideawake
woman and went to the haystack and twisted hay with
which to cook the family turkey. In. those days each
settler looked upon.a piece of land dotted with chips as
a. valuable preserve not to be molested~ Ii buffalo bones
were also scattered about then the pianeer's fuel supply
was assured and strangers were a9A allowed to drive
ever the land without a guard. lat In two or three
years this free fuel era was gone: ana the hay twisting
era came. This made work, although the tufts Of knot
ted bay would do nicely in a common cook stove and
made a hot fire. Next came the straw burning era when
special stoves received this fuel by the forkful. Many
early settlers lost their homes by careless straw burn
ing. With the passing Of the sod houses the pioneer fuel
substitutes have given way to hard and soft coal and those
who once quarreled over the free buffalo chip at last kiss
aud make up by a more costly fire because they can af-
ford to.
A story of a happy marriage is told that resulted
from a spark by a straw fire. The room was grow
inc. deathly cold and the unhappy young couple were
hugging close to the stove to keep warm when presently
the old man arrived with a load of straw and a roaring
fire was started which spread in the house and badly
burned the young man. After the young lady had nursed
him to health he married her, built the old man anew
house and bought him a hard coal burner.
