THE SPRING LAMBS.

old sheep had twins and both were on their knees nursing. one on either side while she looked at us then at them and then again at us. Many of the sheep were bleating and al the kindly voice of VIII came running towards us Amongst them was little black=faced lamb which had lost its mother; this was the first to attract the attention of he farmer
 Whose little lamb are you?" said he stopping down and speaking in the gen tlest voice imaginable.
 "Baaa-a, said the lamb. confidently thrusting his smutty little nose into the mans big, brown fist
 Yes, I know he replied soothingly. Il know who your mother is, and now we'll go and find her And lifting he baby up in his arms, he stalked through the flock until he came to a big eve standing unconcerned at some distance from the rest, and at once began chiding her as father might his child
 Why. Mollie,n he said. I'm very much ashamed of you. Why dsl't you look after your little las1b.
 Then to the lamb:
 Here. little fellow, here's your man. my and he set down the youngster, which at once fell on his knees and be- gan to suck, shaking his tail and but ting his mother vigorously with his fuzzy head
 Then we went into the big barn to 1x- sheared. and kept for the present in wooden pens. In each pen there were one or two old goats each with little snowwhite kid. These kids are the most artificial animals I know of; they look almost exactly like the woody lambs on wheels. which are found for sale in he top shops. VIII took half dozen of them out of the pens, and carried them into the yard 10 be photographed. After photographing these little sel. lows we took them back into the barn. Will" lifted one of them into a pen with an old goat, and watched the pair carefully for a mo- ment. The old goat sniffed al the young one. and the latter began to nurse.
 How did you know which kid to put with that goat?a asked
 T didn't" he answered. until saw that she recognized il as her own.
 Put the same kid in with one of the other old goats. said, and see what happens.
 He did as asked him. The goat, after smelling the kid, deliberately butted il out of her way It was the same with the rest; each goat was looking for a par tieular kid, knew that one from all oth- CTS. apparently by smell. and would al. low nc other to remain with her.
 This big. gentle farmer is one of the happiest men l know. and very large part of his happiness is due to the fact that he is on the very best of terms with every animal on his farm.

Spring Aspect of Fields and Woods Sheep and Lambs-AngoTa Goa: Recognizes and Wants
 Its Own Kid.

1 It was a bright morning, warm but fresh. atd white clouds were floating across an intensely blue sky The trees were putting forth their first leaves in many shades of tender green, he grass was showing emerald along the roadsides. and here and there amongst it were growing patches of spotted adder's tongue. In the pine woods. near the roadside. the trailing lrbutus mingled its breath with that of the spruces and balsams, and the edges of the marshes were glowing with yellow marigolds. Above them, marsh hawk rose and fell in graceful curves. sometimes so low as to fan the still standing stalks of last years bull rushes; robins were calling across the meadows and purple fnches were sing ing seemingly in half the trees along the foadsides.
 Out in the fields the men were busily at work. blowing the ground, Some had horses. but more were blowing with oxen. Here was a red team. there a black one and beyond there was pie 
 horns. which glinted in the sunlight.
 By and by l arrived at the farmhouse had set out to visit It was long low white building. perched upon the crown of hill, and had a row of old sugar maples in front of it.
 A rap on the door with the old black ened bronze knocker. brought out pleasant-faced woman whom l knew slightly. She told me that Will" had gone to Glaremont for a load of feed . but that he would be back soon. In the meantime would l have some cider? IL was little tart" but not real hard . l would: and before l had finished. in came Will. and presently we went put to look at the animals.
 The first things We saw were the sheep. They had been recently sheared. and were all in a well-fenced inclos- ure on the south side of the barn. get ting the full benefit of the sun. but shef- tered from the wind With them were their little lambs. some newly born. and lying close beside their mothers some bold with their several weeks experi- enees. and venturing many yards from the sides of their dams. as though 10 find out what our presence meant.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It Is Unconstitutional and Unneces- sary to Confscate the Property
 of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
 mittee at Washington, Inter- State Con-
 merce Commission Prouty said in dis
 cussing the proposition 10 give to that Commission the power to regulate ralI-
 way rates:
 T think the railways should make
 their own rates. think they should
 be allowed to develop their own busi-
 ness. have never advocated any law,
 and I am not now in favor of any law. which would put the rate making
 power into the hands of any com-
 mission or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some states at the pres ent time, while it is done in some coun- tries, am opposed 10 il. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got The rest of it's property is not good for anything unless it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed 10 me that when rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it depriyes the railroad company of it's property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should confscate the property of railroad; 1t is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent. or four per cent. When you put in a rate that is inherently you have deprived that of its rights. of it's property. and the Circuit Court of the United States has jurisdiction under the four teenth amendment to restrain that l have looked at these cases a great many times, and can only come to the conclusion that railroad is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of commission. if any statute of state legislature. takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment protects the railway company"

HER WEAKNESS GONE.
HOT FLASHES AND SINKING SPELLS
 CONQUERED AT LAST.
Mrs. Murphy Tells Her Fel1ow-Suferers How She Got Rid of Serious Troubles
 by Simple Home Treatment.

by Simple Home Treatment.
 II had been bothered for several years, said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomach disorder, and finally became very weak and nervous. Flashes of heat would pass over me, and 1 would feel as if was sinking down. At such times could not do any household work, but would have to lie down, and afterwards Iwould have very trying nervous spells. /"
 Didn't you have doctor?" she was asked.
 Yes, I consulted several doctors but my health did not improve. One day a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. She assured me that they had proved of the greatest ben eft ill the case of her daughter. In fact, she praised them so enthusiastically that my husband got me a box"
 And what was the result?'
 Before I had taken half of the first box my condition was greatly improved. The quickness with which they reached and relieved all my troubles was really surprising After had used only three boxes I had no more heat-f1ashes or weak spells. Thanks to them, I have become a well woman"
 Mrs. Mary D. Murphy lives at No, 1903 Force street, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Dr. Williams Pink Pills, the remedy which she found so satisfactory, furnish directly to the blood the elements that give vigor to every tissue of the body. They can be depended on to revive fail ing strength, and to banish nervous ness. Their tonic properties are abso- lutely unsurpassed.
 As soon as there is drag, or dizziness, or pallor, or poor circulation, or disordered digestion, or restlessness, or pains, or ir- regularites of any kind these famous pills should be used. They have cured the most obstinate cases of anamia, dys- pepsia, rheumatism. neuralgia, nervous prostration and even partial paralysis.
 If you desire information specially suited to your own case write directly to the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Every woman should have copy of Dr. Williams Plain Talks to Women. which will be mailed free to any address on request. Any druggist can supply the pills.

How often do we hear women say: 1t seems as though my back would break, v or Don't speak to me, l am all out of sorts2" These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention.
 Backache and :" the blues" are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself IL may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia F. Pinkham's 5 Vegetable Com pound instantly asserts it's curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years. and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally success ful remedy for womans 5 ills known to medicine.
 The following letters from Mrs, Holmes and Mrs. Gotrely are among the many thousands which Mrs. Pink ham has received this year from those whom she has relieved.
 Surely such testimony is convincing.
 Mrs. ] C. Holmes, of Larimore. North Dakota, writes:

"The Simple Life"
Proper Food is Really the First
 Step in Right Living.

One of the evils of our complex mod ern way of living. is our unnatural and unhealthy foods.
 To have really good health and a good stomach il is necessary to eat simple nourishing food, EGG-O-SEE IS the ideal food, and reaches the proper requirements. in this direction more nearly than any other cereal now on the market
 To make EGG-o-SEE the kernels of the choicest California white wheat are first cleansed by brushes. then thor oughly steam cooked. then faked and crisped to maple tint and delicately favored with natural fruit juice and pure grain sugar.
 In these delicious fakes. lies the mighty strength-giving power of the whole wheat grain that evenly nour- ishes every part of the body. and gives physical and mental energy that means splendid health and successful en- deavor.
