TERRIER PUP DRAINED cow
Plump Appearance Of Canine and
"Fau Of" in Bovine Product
Cause Barnyard Mystery.

Ben Record owns COW which he be-
lieVed to be one Of the best mixers IN
all the country until few weeks ago.

The shortage became more and more
noticeable until the animal developed
into a third-class "stripper," relates the
Punxsutawney pa Spirit. Mr. Record
also keeps a full-blooded terrier pup,
whose growth and portiy appearance
has occasioned remark, although the dog
seldom ate anything that was offered to
him by the family. Both mysteries
were cleared up the other evening, how
ever, when Mrs. Record went to the
barn to milk, for there lay the COW, con-
tentedly chewing her cud, while the ter
rier pup, his feet spread far apart, leis-
urely extracted the precious tactical fluid
so much desired for making ice cream or
constructing pumpkin pies. Since the
discovery the cow has become reinstated
in the good opinion Of the family, but
the terrier takes his milk after 1t has
been skinned. 4.

MALAYs PouTEST OF RACES
Globe Trotter Declares That Eastern

Fine People.

"In all my Jaunts in eastern lands !
have found no country as interesting as
the Malay states, that long strip OF
peninsula which is encompassed on the
east by the China sea and on the west by
the Strait of Malacca," said Mr.. Marcus
Luning, Of San Francisco, to Washing
ton Post reporter. Il lived over there
for more than year and got pretty well
acquainted with the people and theiI
institutions The Malays are in many
ways a fine race. With them personal
cleanliness Is held in high esteem
and the common custom is to take
two baths a day. They are like
wise the politest folk ever met
I had q whole retinue Of serY-
ants. and yet could never get used to
thinking Of them or treating them as
servants because Of their superlative
courtesy. SO polite were they that II
seemed as though they were doing me
favor when they asked for an advance on
their wages, and they were continually
in my debt because Of the impossibility
Of denying requests made in such an
ornately deferential way"

A statement made by 4 full-blood who

Government safeguards have been the
bane OF the Indian. Instead Of being
taught to rely upon himself he has been
encouraged to be dependent The gov
eminent should have pushed him of to
his own resources long ago, as 4 COW
does her calf when 1t is old enough to
rustic for itself. The government should
have given the Indian 160 acres, together

misguided philanthropy will never save

"WH DO NOT KNOW"

We do not know what lies before,
The way seems hard beset,
But there are friends who still! adore.
And love is with us yet
Then why should we, poor morta1s hell
In bondage from afar,
Rail at this level life compelled.
And strive to clasp starr
The blooming rose lives near morn
The lily leans to earth,
Deep in the dark, glad light is BORN
Death brings to life no dearth-
Why should we who alone have nina.
Crave all of JOY and thought.
Nor in our daily living find
Our times with pleasure fraughtf
We do not know the ways OF Coo,
Nor lay we hold on Him,
Unnumbered things to US seem ooo'
And countless causes dim,
Yet love springs up in every heart.
And work still leads to rest,
And never doth the law depart,
Nor hope forget tits blest.
We do not know-ought not to know
Poor mortals chained to earth!-
So let insatiate longing go
And give content new birth
Unoounted ages yet 10 come
Shall show US Gods designs,
And we shall find LIES noblest sum
Plain duty first divines!
To trust the end, howe'er deferred
To do a little good;
To be by love and reason stirred
To suffer when we should;
With eyes above. and feet firm set.
Loving and toiling fair,
This is to know that somewhere YET
Are truths He will lay bare;
And for the rest, to ask for peace,
For freedom from deceit,
For pleasure in a small increase.
Strength to disarm defeat
To live a gentle loving life.
Nor ask of sorrow why
This is to conquer human strife,
This is to mount on high.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in veal,
lungs. Like other weeds it.:
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

"Gypsy" a Nickname.

the propensity Of children for acquiring
bad language is racial trait. The gyp-
sizes On their first appearance In England
about the beginning Of the sixteenth
century were mistaken for Egyptians,
and so called by men Of education, but
the common people, finding some diff
tulty in mastering the name, rendered it
"gypsies," and so the wandering people
ave ever since been called.

A Lost Fortune
By j. M. ScANLAND
Copyright, 1904. by Daily Story Pub. co.,

Copyright, 1904. by Daily Story Pub. co.,
MRS. SARAH WYLY was a shrewd
M matchmaker. She had brought
about a marriage between her eldest
daughter, Emma, and John Montgom-
cry, a talented young editor of New Or
leans. and now she was looking for an
eligible husband for Mary, the youngest
and prettiest of her daughters.
Mary had just returned from two
years stay in Paris, where she had
taken lessons in French, music and de-
pertinent, and was pronounced" finished"
like most others who return with SUI
perficial education. Society in the VIII
lage of Monticello was in flutter-the
young ladies were curious to see their
former village schoolmate, and their
mothers were envious Of Mary's Partisan
trip.
The WHY'S had been poor, but now
were the wealthiest in the Bayou Macon
ueighborhood. Sam WHY had been an
overseer on the Scarborough plantation,
and upon the death Of the owner, Will
liam Scarborough, he was intrusted with
its management Mrs. Scarborough,
old and feeble, had implicit confidence
in the overseer, who had served them
so many years, and intrusted everything
to his management However, debts
accumulated, and 1t became necessary
to sell some Of the negroes to pay for
supplies. Cotton crops failed and, final
ly, when the aged Widow Scarborough
died, the plantation passed INTO the pos
session of Sam WHY, who b, Slt upon the
site Of the old frame house L Magnificent
two-story structure. Accord, Ng to the
papers filed by WHY, Mrs. Sea- borough
bequeathed the plantation and negroes
to him, in consideration Of "at Nction,
and for services rendered" aftV the
payment of the just debts.
The people Of the Bayou Macon settle
ment talked a great deal about the sud-
den wealth of the WHY'S. Squire Willis
was of the opinion that as the cotton
crops had been large for the past several
seasons, he could not see how It became
necessary TO sell ringers" to buy sup
plies.
It was also remembered that when
William Scarborough sold his crop Of
cotton in Vieksburg and suddenly died
there with the yellow fever, there was
some talk about what became Of the
money? They could not recollect "for
sure" whether WHY was with him on
that visit, or not.

At the November term Of esurt ths
case of John and Ellen Austen, heirs
Of Elizabeth Scarborough versus sam
uel WHY came up for trial. The older
settlers again begun to talk. They rec
objected the sudden wealth Of OVerseer
WHY and wondered how he came into
possession Of the plantation and the
$50 head Of niggers" The case at
traeted general attention and the court
house was crowded daily. John Lester
appeared for his father-in-law. and
Charles Floyd WA the attorney ,cr the
Austen heirs.
Finally, the strongly contested case
ended, and Judge Jackson summed up
his charge to the jury, rs follows:
THE alleged will Of Mrs Elizabeth
Scarborough is signed by three witnesses
and appears to be In due form, except
Ing that these names are those of f.
males. Under the statute q female IL
not legally qualified to witness \ will.
Therefore the court instructs the jury
to return its verdict for the plaintiffs
John and Ellen Austen"
may 1t please the COURT" exclaimed
Lester, excltsdly. THAT statute is OBJ
solsts, and"
THE statute has never been repealed,
and therefore 1t 10 still law! There Is
no necessity for argument, Mr.. Lester"
The crowd loudly applauded the YER
diet, and congratulated the heirs.
The WHY'S vacated the mansion, and
the AuStens received their Inheritance.
In few weeks the engagement Of Misr
Ellen Austen and Charles Floyd was an
nounced.
