SBELIEvEs IN PATRIOTISM

Az
Ciaicago Evening Post: William
ElliUtt-let his name be written in
glctters Of goid-a veteran of the civil
var, has refused a pension FROM the
government. the arrears on which.
amounted to sl5, 900. This fact in
Itself Us enough to arrest instant at
tention. Hut when We learn the
ground on wliicl1..lle bases his refusal
WeScannot refrain from m~arveling.
Nh. Elliott does not believe that a
man should receive largess, a gift,
aspension, for. performing his simple
duty. Clearly MIR. William Elliott
has quaint ideas about patriotism.
Hes0ffered his life when his country
needed 1t because be thought 1T the
Hight thing to do. And now, forty
years after this supreme test, he
sBelinRs to the old fashioned notion
that his country cannot measure his
patriotism IA dollars and cents.
Doubtless there are patriots drawing
liberal pensions from the govern
Inent today. But when we consider
the patriotism Of William Elliott, Of
KokomosI Ind, no doubt exists.

GUARDING AGAINST POISON
Action to Restrict the Sale Of Dan
gerous Drugs in Eng
land.

AS a protection against drug poison
ing, Southampton to the state depart
ment, the Pharmaceutical Society Of
Great Britain has declared the following
articles poisons under the general stat
ute: Cocaine and it's salts, picrotoxin,
acetanilid, preparations of cocaine, digi-
tails and it's preparations, mercuric
iodide, mercuric sulphocyanide, solu-
BILE salts of oxalic acid, strophanthus and
its preparations and sulphonal.
The effects OF this action will be that
the drugs named, when sold, must be
labeled with the word Poison" and
the name and address of the seller;
that in the case of liquids, they must
be sold only in bottles readily distin-
guishable by touch from ordinary medi-
cine bottles; that they must be sold by
registered chemists and druggists only.
In the case of cocaine and it's salts and
picritoxin, it will be necessary, in ad-
dition to the observance of the precau-
tions stated, that the purchaser be per-
sonally known or introduced to the
seller, and that his name be signed in
the chemists poison register.
Consul Swain says that acetanilid,
digitalis and sulphonal, in addition to
cocaine, are drugs which particularly
lend themselves to abuse by the public,
and the facility with which it has been
possible to buy them in the past has been
by no means beneficial.

TALE OF A TICKLE SAILOR.
Used as an Example to Illustrate the
Instability Of Pol
itician.

Mayor Weaver, Of the awakened city
of philadelphia, was talking to a re-
porter about very astute and willy poll
tician, relates the Buffalo Enquirer.
''It is difficult" said the mayor, ito get
this man to do anything he doesn't want
to do. Cornered, he advances argument
after argument against the course you
desire him to pursue. He begins with
weak arguments. You think you've got
him. But just as victory appears as
sured, he puts forth final argument
that is insuperable, final argument
that floors you thoroughly.
1.-THE fellow is like a tickle sailor of
the old romance This sailor was strong,
handsome and gay. The girls liked him,
and he, fear, liked the girls. The fol-
lowing conversation, one moonlight
night, in the tropics, passed between
him and young woman:
Then, Jack, when shall we be mar
ried?'
But I promised my wife, sweet
heart, that 1 would never marry a Sec
ond time.
''The young girl, beautiful in the fiat
tering moonlight, murmured:
Would you cast me off for the sake
of promise to dead woman?'
But she isn't dead yet said the
tickle sailor"

DOGS ARE ALWAYS HONEST
Whole Makeup Of the Animal Gives
Ample Testimony to the
Fact.

There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a we'll known local
fancier and huntsman, says the Hous-
ton Post, "and that is you never saw
one pant and wag his tail at the same
time. A dog is not capable of double
emotion. He can't growl and wag his
tail at the same time, for it is impos-
sible for him to be mad at one end and
glad at the other.
''If dog is glad to see his master he
will bark and wag his tail. If he wants
to get into the house he will paw at the
door, whine and wag his tail, but they
are all symptoms of one and the same
emotion. But if his master opens the
door he will cease to show anxiety inn
mediately by whining, and will show
pleasure only by the wagging of his
tail.
In order to get mans temper one
must watch his eyes, but for dogs
you have to watch his tail. The dog is
likewise incapable of deceit, and hence
he is nothing of a politician. He de-
ceives no .one, not even his master. If
he is overjoyed, every emotion is indi-
cative of that fact, and his whole make
up gives ample testimony to it. If he
is displeased or angered, it is the same
way"

walls of business and by neglect of symp-
toms which have been warning him a
year past, that his stomach was falling
in its duties"
The symptoms of disordered stomach
are, among others, variable appetite, sour
risings, heartburn, undue fullness after
eating, dull headache, dingy complexion,
discolored eye, fluctuations in physical
strength, nervousness, sleeplessneSs de-
pondency. No person will have all these
symptoms at once.
The restoration of the stomach to sound
health begins with the first dose of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The
cure progresses until the functions of the
stomach are in healthy operation. Then
the nerves are quiet and strong, the ap-
petite healthful, the sleep restful, the eye
bright, the complexion clear.

WAYS OF WILD ANIMALS.
Actions of the Skunk, Coon and Otter
Are at Times Very In
teres ting.

Own cousin in foolishness to the
awful weapon of defense, skunk is
only equaled in reckless bravery by the
porcupine, and both are too stupid to
take any warning, says Washington
Star writer. Around army camps,
where the cooks cut open canned food
with a hatchet, it is not an uncommon
thing to catch skunks near by. The
top of the can being cut in quarters
by two blows from the hatchet, it is
emptied of it's contents and thrown
on the waste pile. If that can hap
pened to have held salmon, it is ire
sistible to any skunk or coon that
passes to leeward of it. A little in
vestigation locates it, a paw is tried
and then a nose. The yielding top al
lows an entrance, but forbids an exit,
and so, with the can as hood, the
prowler falls a victim to those in the
camp.
1t is interesting to note the actions
of an otter when he finds the tracks
of a man near his home. He stops and
his hair bristles up and he casts q
furtive look around as if he had been
caught in the act of stealing chickens.
Little by little he edges away, and II
he has a wife and children, sneaks OH
to them and hustles them out and
away from the place. He knows the
dangers of civilization.
The wildcat and mountain lion,
after one experience with trap, be-
come very wise and hence correspond
ingly hard to trap, but strange thing
about most animals that are wise IN
avoiding steel traps is that they seem
to know that when trap is sprung 1t
| is no longer dangerous and will go
right up to it and eat the bait.
So it is with all wild animals have
seen on the plains. The horse and the
| dog of civilization may be mighty in
telligent and smart, but those animals
that are compelled to live by their wits
are not very far behind if at all.
