The Little Red School House.

Little red school houses on the hill
are being built in Minnesota in large
mum bers, if the school loans made by
the state investment board are an in
dication of the number of new struct-
ures. The board loaned approximate
ly $500, 900 in the fiscal year ending
July 81, 1908, and the amount will be
greater in 1904. This sum includes
loans to counties and townships, but
large part of it is to school districts
for building new school houses or re-
pairing old structures. The state
auditor has no information as to the
character Of the new school houses,
but it is learned from other sources
that the buildings erected this year
are generally more substantial and
more commodious than those built in
previous years.

Peruna cures kidney disease. Tho
reason it cures kidney disease is because
it cures catarrh. Cntarrh of the kidneys
is the cause of most kidney disease.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever itIhap-

CATARRH IS THE CAUSE

PE-RU-NA CURES CATARRH.

Captain James L. Dempsey, Captain End Precinct
Troy Police Force, writes from 1888 Ferry St., Troy,
N. Y, as follows:
''From my personal experience with Peruna
am satisfied it Is q very fine remedy for catarrhal
affections, whether of the head, lungs, stomach
or pelvic organs 1t cures colds quickly, and
few doses taken after undue exposure prevents
Illness.
"Some of the patrolnen under me have also
found great relief from Peruna 1t has cured
chronic cases of kidney and bladder troubles,
restored men suffering from Indigestion and rheu-
n7afisn,, and I am fully persuaded that 1t IS an
honest, reliable medicine, hence fully endorse
and recommend IT. JAMES L. DEMPSEY
Officer A. G. Swanson writes from COZ Harrison St.,

''Asmy duties compelled me to be out in all kinds

CONDENSED STORIES.
James J. Hill and the Mississippi River
Steamboat Race.

James j. Hill, the railroad presi-
dent, began his connection with the
transportation business through
steam boating, but he soon deserted
it for railroading. The road which
he has since made so widely known
was at that time considered the
slowest in the country. Mr., Hill lis
tened good naturedly to the fun that
was naturally poked at his road and
worked the harder to improve it.
Meeting Mr.. Hill one day in the
street in ST. Paul, Diamond Joe"
Reynolds of upper river steamboat
fnme said:
"Jim, l'll match one of my steam
boats against one of your trains in
. fair race for $500 a side"
"Well, / don't know" hesitated
Mr.. Hill. "Some of your boats are
pretty fast"
~Come; III race you upstream"
urged Reynolds.
"Oh, thunder" returned Mr.. Hill
In disgusted tone. '1f you're 60
ing to stick to the river, then you
might as well drop the notion of
race. l thought you meant you'd
bring your boat out on the prairie
alongside the track and give me
some show. New York Tribune.

BATHING In Dow,

1t was the loveliest rosebushl The
glossy green leaves were almost hid
den by clusters of pretty pink roses.
As the glad sunlight touched the
mountain top a fly came from the
heart of rose, balanced himself on
one foot, and with his curious thou
sand eyes looked for dewdrop.
Just at that moment a sun ray
kissed the rosebush, and hundreds
of dewdrops shone like jewels in the
Light.
The fly spread his gauzy wings
and travelled until he found drop
of dew in crumpled rose Leaf
Then, swinging gracefully for
ward, he plunged his head and face
in the bath. 1t must have been cold,
for he shook himself with a little
shiver and held his face up to the
sun to dry.
He then dipped his right front
foot into the rose leaf bathtub, and,
lifting it up to the side of his body,
shook tiny sparkles OF water all over
himself, using his feet as sponges.
After bathing himself nice and
clean, he flew to a peach tree, and,
finding a pink, juicy peach, ate his
breakfast with the greatest salts

Handy Writing Desks.

A handy writing desk which may
be purchased or made for a song is
simply board 20 by 36 inches, says
writer in the Washington Star.
Two screws in the back OF the top
and two brass chains suspend it
from the ceiling against the wall. A
brass hook on each side and brass
chain attached to the wall will let
it down and hold it in position when
in use.
Another writing desk is made on
the principle of table. 1t is of
weathered oak and plain. The CEN
ter is divided lengthwise by parti-
ton about eighteen inches high,
each side of which is fitted up
with compartments for stationery,
stamps, pens and blotters. Two
persons can thus write at the desk
at the same time, each without dis
turbing the other.

ALL OVER The HOUSE.
House Cleaning and the Health Of IN.
EauniIv

"'oss e'sanino and the Health Of the
Family.
The best thing that could happen
to the average house is to get rid of
about half the stuff it contains. The
habit of homekeepers should be to
guard against household conges-
ton. AT the season of the year
when house cleaning is about to be
done 1t would be advisable for ev-
cry woman to go over the house
from top to bottom in order to get
rid of all this nuisance.
Many homes are not only filed
up with u lot of rubbish, but they
are so filled with fine articles that
the overcareful housekeeper fears
the air and sunshine might fade an
elegant rug, carpet or some fine
drapery. Household furnishings
that are too delicate to stand fresh
air should be eliminated at once, as
a careful and scientific housekeeper
cannot afford to give room to any
thing that is not healthy and sub
stantial. A house that is too fine
for use is seldom kept as clean as it
should be, for the reason that pure
air and sunshine are excluded, and
a home full of impure air is Just as
dirty as one where soap and water
are used too sparingly. Sunshine
purities and cannot be excluded
from the home that is well kept and
clean.
1t is often good thing when peo-
pie are obliged to move. 1t is then
they will see the folly of collecting
unnecessary articles of furniture
that serve to crowd rooms and at
tract dust.-New York Globe.

SIDEWALKS FOR
MESA AVENUE.

Notices have by this time been
served on all the property owners
who could be reached from Evans
avenue on the east to Palmer avenue
on the west to lay 6-foot walk along
their premises.
These walks must be of cement,
stone tagging, brick or other solid
and lasting material, and they will be
a great improvement to that thor
oughfare and to the entire section
through which they pass.
The movement for better sidewalks
begun in Bessemer few years ago
has become popular and progressed
so far that now it can be truly said
that Bessemer has more and better
cement walks than any other sector
of the city. With Mesa and Rout,
avenues in line with good 6-foot &C.
ment walks 1t will be quite an addi
ton to the Improvement.

TWO AMENDMENTS.
Voters VIII Pass Upon the Aerits or
Dement'S of the Propositions At
the Next Election.

The people OF Colorado will be Civ
en- chance to votH upon two consti-
tutional amendments this fall. One
relates to the consolidation Of the
Supreme and Appellate courts, and
the other in relation to taxation. The
two amendments were authorized by
the I4th General Assembly.
Senate bill No. 9. by Senator Tay-
lor, amends sections S, &. 2 and 8 of
article of the constitution, concern
ing the Supreme court. If this amend
ment is adopted the Supreme court
will consist OF seven members instead
OF three, as now constituted, and the
court OF appeals abolished. Under
the newly constituted court the judges
may either sit en- banc or in two or
more departments. as the court may
from time to time determine In case
the court does sit in departments,
each shall have full authority in the
determining OF cases, subject to the
general control OF the court sitting
cnb anc; but no decision of any de-
partment shall become the judgment
OF the court unless three members
shall agree; and in no case involving
the construction OF the constitution
shall be decided except by the court
nbanc. The full term OF the Office
is made ten years.
Under the new amendment the
court of appeals shall be abolished the
first Wednesday in April. 1905, when
the members of the court of appeals
become members Of the Supreme
court, and all causes pending shall be
transferred. Heretofore the appellate
judges have been appointed by the
govrnor. Hereafter all members OF
the court become elective.
The second amendment the voters
OF Colorado will be asked to vote up
on this fall deals with taxation, more
especially as regards the small tax
payer. AT present, under the constitu-
ton, a property holde-, head of
family, has household goods exempt
from taxation to the amount of $500.
! ne head OF family may not be the
owner OF the household goods, but Of
team or OF tools to the amount Of
$500, with which he makes his living.
The object is to relieve every head Of
family from taxation on personal
property to the amount of $500 This
amendment also exehRpts from taxa
tion bitches. canals and fumes owned
and used by individuals or corpora
tions for irrigating land owned by
such individual or corporation.

The Linen Closet.

Plenty of space is indispensable to
insure the linen cupboard being kept
in proper order, and wide shelves, if
possible, which can be pulled out,
are convenient and conducive to
tidiness. The most suitable cover
ing for the shelves is white cartridge
paper, which is stiff enough not to
crease or get out of place. The
linen should then be arranged in as
methodical u manner as space will
permit. The sheets should be plac-
ed together in pairs and tied up in
piles, according to the kind. On
a separate shelf the pillowcases
should be arranged in similar man
ner. The towels should also have q
shelf devoted to them and should
be divided into sets; likewise the ta-
BILE linen on another shelf. Two
shelves should be set apart for mis-
cellaneous things and one used for
sideboard cloths, tray cloths, dol
lies, etc., and the other for all house
hold cloths. If these have typed
borders, with their respective names
woven thereon, it will not be neces-
sary to use descriptive ribbons, but
they should be tied into bundles
with ribbon or tape, SO that the va
rious sets may not be disarranged.
The linen cupboard should be we'll
supplied with bags of dried laven-
der, which, besides making it de-
liciously fragrant, will act as a pre-
ventive against the ravages of moths.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
aoban. the Favoriss Game Of Japanese
Children.

I
Goban is q favorite game with the
japanese. This is simple pasiimc
and may be played in the home even
by quite small children, yet it re-
quires considerable skill to become
the winner. 1t is played on board
ruled into $50 squares. Heavy card
board will answer the purpose, and
to make it more attractive the alter
nate squares may be colored in some
gay tint. Each player is provided
with twenty-four .colored disks, each
player using u different color. These
may be cut from colored bristol
board, using thimble for guide.
Two, three or four players may play.
The game is played by the first play
er laying one of his disks on a
square, then the second player, and
so on till all have placed disk on
the board. The order is repeated
until five pieces have been laid down.
Then if the player has made a row
of five, either vertically, horizontal
ly or diagonally, on the board he has
won the game.
If neither Of the players has sue
ceeded in making a row, then more
disks are laid down. If no one sue
ceeds in making line of five before
al the pieces are laid down, then
the pieces are moved in turn, one
square at a time, in any direction
until one succeeds in making line.
OF course one must try to prevent
his opponent from making line as
well as to form his own.

Of flight is the frigate or man-o'-war
