Watch the Lawmakers.

It is a settled fact that none of the
family medicines, or patent medi-
cines, would ever have a large sale
unless they gave satisfaction to the
people using them Standard patent
medicines that were advertised and
sold extensively when the man and
woman of so or more at this time
were boys and girls are yet adver-
tised and sold in large quantities. Had
they possessed no merit they would
have been forgotten long ago And
yet certain sensational magazines are
engineering a crusade against such
preparations. 1t Will be we'll for the
people, if they do not wish to be de-
priyed of the right to use family prep
aratiOns Of that character, to keep an
eye on their representative in the

TRAIN HELD FOR MONKEY HUNT.
Travel IN Mexico Delayed While Sirnian
Passenger Was CAUGHT

Twenty precious minutes on the Vera
Cruz and Pacific railway were lost Mon
day by reason of the engineer having
to step the train for q large monkey
which had been a passenger III the bag
gage car until he made up his mind that
he was tired of it and promptly bit the
rope which held him and leaped from
the car. Barely had he touched the
ground when he started for the jungles
With series of leaps and bounds.
Three minutes later almost every man
on the train was in hot pursuit He
was captured by the owner and recon
flned III the baggage car. but this time
he was placed ANONYMOUSLY in Il hen
coop, where he covered in corner. as
II mortified at being kept such a close
prisoner.
1t was just on the other side of TERRA
Blanca that the monkey became imbued
with the idea that he was a much ma
IIgned and much abused passenger.
While his owner enjoyed cushions in the
day coach he was obliged to content
himself with the circle afforded by his
rope. The baggage man and his assist
ant We're viewing the scenery when one
OF them let out a startled yell.
"Caramba, The monkey has gone"
The next instant the engineer noticed
a decided yank on the train cord and.
glancing back, saw 4 baggageman lean
ing far out Of his car and tiourisihng a
large bandanna handkerchief The fire
man reported that the assistant baggage
man was doing a similar stunt on his
side OF the car. Quicker than thought.
the engineer threw the air, reversed his
lever. sanded the track, said his prayers
and prepared to jump. He believed there
was a wreck.
When the train came to a stop down
jumped the assistant baggage smasher
He broke in a run for the jungle. yelling
the news at the top Of his voice and fol
lowed by the directions Of the baggage
man, such as, There he goes. He's
jumping the corn rows. Hid out in a
bush. Climbing Il tree Leaped to an
other Behind the baggage assistant
loped the monks owner shouting bless
ings on them for letting the monk gel
loose, while behind him troOled the en-.
tire male population of the train. They
freed Mr.. Monk in a large scrub oai
where he couldn't jamp to another tree
Fifteen minutes cajOlery on the part OF
the owner and the display of sugar and
fruit brought the monk within reach
and he was soon again in the baggage

Wind and Rain Expensive.

There is a costly habit of the wind
in remote Samoa, and it is probable the
prevailing elements will require the pro-
vision Of an electric lighting plant at
the naval station at Tutuila. Great diff
fculty is experienced in keeping lighted
the station and street lamps, owing to
the winds which prevail there most of
the year, and similarly it is often neces-
sary in quarters and buildings to keep
the doors and windows closed to prevent
being left in darkness. with the result
that the natural heat of the climate,
accompanied by the heat given out by
the coal oil lamps, creates q disagree
ably warm atmosphere. Another dis
comfort of the place is the rainfall,
which averages 16O inches annually, and
it is reported that wood, no matter how
we'll painted, decays rapidly, making
considerable increase in the expense of
repairs to station buildings built of this
material.

QUIT TRYING. IS SECRET.
People Can't Be Happy by Merely Trying
to Be.

Quit trying to be happy. Happiness
is chimera, vain and idle conceit, a
fantlstic solecism. The best plan is to
set for yourself certain standard of
misery and learn to grin and bear it.
Then, whatever comes above that stand
ard will be happiness Happiness. like
beauty, is merely comparative. If all our
women had fiat noses like those of the
bellies of Africa we should find some fiat
noses extremely beautiful and other fiat
noses not at all presentable. A lone
widow with three children and one small
bed required her eldest boy to sleep on
pile of straw in the corner. One bitter
night the bowling wind coming through
the cracks kept blowing the straw away.
The little fellow shivered till blue in the
face. His hands were nearly frozen try
ing to hold the straw in place. Finally
the mother rose and completely covering
her son with straw laid upon it an old
door which had been leaning against the
outer wall. The wind then blew in vain,
and happy voice came from the cor
ner: Mamma, it amt every boy that's
got a door. New York Press.

Cooking Without Fire

In the cookery schools of Berlin, Mu-
Mich, Frankfort, and other German cit
les the use of the ''freless' stove" or
cooking box" is strongly recommend
ed. The apparatus consists simply of a
wooden box, thickly lined with hay or
felt, and fitted with tight cover. Nests
are made in the lining, into which pots
containing food that has first been
boiled for a few minutes over a fire are
placed, tightly covered, and the box is
closed. The lining retains the heat for
hours. and the food is slowly cooked,
with better results, in many cases, than
can be attained by rapid cooking on a
stove OF course, the apparatus does
not answer for cooking steaks, chops, or
cakes, which require a quick, hot fire,
but it is excellent for soups and vege-
tables

The Amount of Water to Drink

The normal amount of water daily re-
CURED is mathematical calculation
regulated by the sensation of thirst; a
reduction of the body water by 1 per
cent produces thirst. Life can be sus-
tanned for longer time when water is
taken without food than when dry food
is taken without water. It is said that
six and half pounds of water, holding
IN solution waste products, is excreted
IN twenty-four hours from the body
weighing 165 pounds; this will serve as
an approximate guide to the necessary
AMOUNT of water for daily ingestion.-
