DOUBLE TRANSPORTATION.
Dog Suffers for a Defunct Man and
Man Gets It for Dead
Mule.

The man who had come down the steps
of the city hall had found a small dog
under his feet, and given the animal a
kick, relates the Washington Star. The
owner came forward and demanded:
"Sir, why did you kick my dog?"s
Because l believe in transmigration,"
replied the other.
What has hat to do with it?"
1.-TWO years ago | knew a mean man.
He died. Your dog looks SO much like
him that / believe it is a cause of trans
migration. l always wanted to lick the
man, and, finding your dog under my
feet, | could not resist the impulse"
Sir" said the dog-owner, II once knew
a mule. He was the crankiest, mean.
est critter on the face of the earth. He
died. The minute | set eyes on you, I
knew that it was a case of transmigra.
ton. / always wanted to wallop that
mule, but never got the chance. 1t has
come at last. And now"
And when the crowd hauled them apart
there were three black eyes and a bitten
ear between the two of them to prove that
the theory of transmigratien works like
a double-barreled shotgun.

pendent position. He was a thorn in the
side of the managers of the United
States senate, no matter what party was
in control. He was probably as thor.
oughly a hated man as any who has sat
in the senate in recent years, but at the
same time he had many loyal friends,
and he was always a power to be reck-
Oned with.
Mr.. Pettigrew is naturally a political
schemer and conspirator, and it was the
delight of his life to Illustrate the care
fully laid plans of senate leaders. All
sorts of criticism and charges were
made, but no n was ever able to place
his finger on anything dishonorable or
dishonest in Mr.. Pettigrew's senatorial
career. He was simply not liked. He
would sit all hunched down in his chair
pulling strips of paper to pieces and
scattering them on the floor and glanc-
ing furtively from under a pair of shaggy
eyebrows while the two sides of the sem
ate were e~ndeavoring to reach an agree
ment regarding the disposition of some
measure. When everything seemed to

about to be declared, Pettigrew would
unlimber his long legs and, straighten-
ing up his more than six feet of body,
would, in a whining, q%uerulous tone in
ject himself into the proceedings and
spoil whatever game was going on.
This was after he had left the repub-
licans altogether and had become a free
silver populist.
There is now quite a fight on in South
Dakota against Senator Gamble, and
Pettigrew is shrewdly trying to ma
nipulate matters so as to secure the leg
islature for himself. If he should
come back to Washington he would at
least liven up the sessions of the sem
ate, for there was scarcely a day of his
last four years of service in which he
did not start a row of some kind.

discussing that affair the other day
said:
so far from being typical of the gar
rison life in the army, the conditions
brought to light by the Taggart divorce
scandal are a libel on the family of every
man in the barracks. Beyond one or
two exceptions, / never knew of a whis-
per against the honor of a married wom-
an in the army. The man who would de-
part from the highest standard of per-
sonal honor could not remain in the
army.
Il want to say that there is no place
in the world where a wOman's honor is
more safe than in the environments of
ar army post. There are no men more
upright, no men more chivalrous. no
men to whom l would sooner trust the
women of my family than the rough and
ready men OF the west-army or civ
ilian. Respect for women is a char
acteristic of our American manhood.
and there is no place where that fine
type Of manhood is seen to better adj
vantage than in the rough western coun-
try, where the post life of the ARMY Of
icer takes him. The public should
make no mistake about the standards
of morality at army posts. They are
not the standards which the Taggart
affair might seem to Indicate"

knowledging receipt of his communica-
ton. Persons claiming to be creditors
and collectors of debts or claims will
be denied access to employees during the
hours Of public business or while the
employees concerned are on duty.
In connection with this a warning Is
sounded to the clerks that they must dis
charge their honest debts as the depart
ment will not permit itself to be used
as a shelter for dead-beats. The order
states that the department does not
consider one who fails without 1ustifica-
ton, to pay his just debts a person suit
able for public employment. Upon re-
ceipt of a complaint of non-payment Of
debt it will be referred to the proper
chief of a bureau for a report in writing
from the employe concerned, and the
conclusions reached by the department
will be made part Of the clerks official
record.
Since these orders have gone into eff
feet in other departments there has been
a perceptible improvement in the finan-
cial standing of government employees.
Business men generally agree that the
government clerk is their best paying
patron, and while he generally lives up
to the salary he receives there are fewer
delinquents in the matter of bill paying
among the government clerks than in
any other class in Washington.

with rank of major general, which is
said to De slated for next month. Gen.
Weston is now at the head of the COM
missary department of the army and has
a most enviable record as the most eff
years. He is a great favorite Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who first met him at
Santiago, Cuba, during the Spanish war,
and the encounter between the future
commissary general and the president
OF the United States is a pleasant rem
scence to both.
Gen. Weston was then only a lieuten-
ant colonel, but was chief Of commits
sary in Skaters army, and proved him
self a hustler who did not hesitate 20
cut red tape when emergency demanded.
Col. Roosevelt had come into Santiago
to get supplies for his men, and ran
across Weston while the latter was
wrestling with boxes and barrels in the
commissary stores. Col. Weston was
dressed in a very dirty pair of duck
trousers and a shirt, and was throwing
boxes around like a roustabout. Col.
Roosevelt could not believe at first that
this was the chief of commissary but
was soon satisfied of his identity when
Weston ordered two wagon loads of
canned tomatoes and corr to be dis
patched at once to Roosevelt's regi-
ment.
While the future president and Wes-
ton were talking, a driver of a team
passed by with a suspicious bulge about
his waist. Weston stopped him and
asked him what he had under his shirt.
"Oh, that's all right, partner" re-
sponded the driver.
Weston called to a soldier and put
the driver under arrest. Il do not ar
rest you for having stolen those canned
tomatoes that | see under your shirt,
but because you called me partner"
said Weston who, having gratified his
humor, Immediately set the driver free
because, he said: I'VE are too badly in
need of drivers" The man was then df-
rected to drive one of the wagon loads
of supplies to Col. Roosevelt's camp.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. End Especial. y
There is deep interest in Green county
over the. cure of the little daughter Of
l. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She wa.
a great sufferer for five or six years, and
she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She be.
gan to improve almost at once, and now
she is cured and can run and play as
other children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
Il am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being a cripple per-
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one of the results of
diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused
by Uric Acid in the blood. If the KID
neys are right there can be no Uric Acid
in the blood and consequently no Rheu-
matism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the
kidneys right.

notbe bound by this tradition, as reports
have it that he expects to run for con-
gress in his old district next year and
come back to the house where he
served for many terms. His district
went republican last year, and the DEM
ocrat, Mr.. Dougherty, who succeeded
him, has since died; so that the ex-
governor has a tolerably clear field if he
wants the nomination. The district is
normally democratic and Mr.. Dockery
would probably be elected.
His election would bring again to
Washington a rather picturesque char
acter. Mr.. Dockery was n of the typ

wearing low cut vests and SLOUGH hats.

Dockery was an effective debater, ano

his coat sleeves to his elbows, get red
in the face, pound his desk and give 9TH

There are many government clerks
here who do not like Mr.. Dockery be-
cause the latter was the author of leg

When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, OF
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than isgenerally supposed,
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrlte Ryan, treasurer OF st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II cannot find words to express nv thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me 20 seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that had ovarian trou-

Potatoes at Crowley,

Crowley, La: Already five carloads
OF sweet potatoes have been distribut-
ed by Crowley jobbers and retailers
and it is estimated That nearly an
equal amount Of seed has been plant
ed in this vicinity from seed saved
over. Nearly every rice farmer In
the Crowley district is putting in a
small crop of potatoes, and most OF
them are also planting onions, cab
bage and other vegetable crops.
The fine weather of the past ten
days has enabled rice farmers to be-.
gin Flowing, and more OF it has been
done during the past vice.. than during
all the balance Of the year since har-
vest. Many of the rice farmers are
holding off from plowing because Of
uncertainty as to what the canal com
panies are going to do about water
rents. 1t is generally believed that
the canal companies will make some
change in rentals, but the exact IA.
ture Of the change has not yet beCa

Shreveport, La: r. l.. Williams, of
Arcadia, whose store was recently de-

and collected insurance amounting to
$3.50. He intended to return at 3:15
O'clock the same day. Three Arcadia

over $4,000, with Crawford, Jenkins &

him. The formality of the thing
scared him, and he reached down in
his pocket and drew out the money
ne had collected and turned it over to
Mr.. Jordan, who had been appointed
receiver.
