 One of the most enthusiastic members was showing her friends of her OWE sex over the establishment, and opened the door of the "pets' room with proper pride.
 There. in the center of the room, on two chairs, sat two immediately clothed young men. grave of face, but with wicked twinkle in their eyes.

HORSE FALLS IN cISTERN.
Then Battles with Water Moccasin for Life-Rescued by
 Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales, of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile, and for few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the we'll Vol unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest, climbed down on a ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com- bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to a recently issued census bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population. Some great centers have considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos-. ton is good example; about 1,200, 900 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 600 900 of them are governed by, the Boston mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country. says Youths Companion.
 ~ It is customary to speak of the popula- tion of a state. 'in proportion to ita size" Such comparison is seldom made of cities, although 1t might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg. for example, has a population of a third of . million on 1s.0OO acres of ground; New York'a population. little more than ten times e great, spreads over nearly IF umea as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for tts an. nexation habit, but since 1890 New York has annexed much more territory than Chicago's total area. New Orleans has 8 slightly larger area than Chicago. Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore.
 Washington, which occupies the Mary land part of the ten miles square set aside for national capital, is a fair sized city as area goes, for this genera tion. It may seem small century hence, although 1t looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out
 In the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation is plainly one of the tendencies of the times More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1890 Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided, by reason of local interests, but the cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun. diaries outward. There are some eco. homie reasons for this. but the reason in many cases has been the desire of their inhabitants to make a "good show. ing"

 Tho cornerstone of a monument ta be erected in Salem Fields cemetery, Cypress Hills, l.. l.. in honor of Jews who lost their Yves in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus, chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association, presided. In the course of his remarks Mir. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned 3 survival of bar barism." This brought protest from Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles. retired. who lost leg at Gettysburg.
 Although we arc assembled in . cemetery" said Con. Sickles, this is not funeral occasion. No death ia more glorious than death for ones country. know many think that wars are dreadful. but we have had our wars since the world began, and wa shall always have wars. In the provi- dence of God war was ordained. and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was found cd through war. Would George III, have agreed to arbitration to let us found an independent government? No. We have liberty because our fathers fought seven years for independence, and we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom.
 "I hope the time will never come when we shall cease to be a martial people. or be unwilling to take up arms in defense of our country In the day we are unwilling to fight for our lib- critics we shall surely lose the respect of the world"

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Par. alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, dumb and par alyzed old man living with his son-in. law. E.. Moss, in London, was so over- come with fright when fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is 71 years old, was . robust man. and up to short time ago was enjoying good health. even work ing at small blacksmith's forge. Ono day he suffered a stroke of paralysis. which also left him speechless.
 The, other evening two men rushed In shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his father-in-law Moss saw that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over . lamp, causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless, unable to stir hand or foot or raise . cry of alarm. The agonized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his position. The flames were smothered before they had made much progress. and the patient escaped unhurt.
 Shortly after the family were sur- prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family. ' LIS. .,ss s
 The restoration of tho lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on tho outbreak of the fire. ,.o
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains. MT. Herring's health has im- proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to hospital, where it is the opinion that he may live long time.

6sT POPULAR NUMBERS.
Seven and Thirteen Are Filed Upon in the Minds of the GSeatsr
 Number of Men!

"Ask man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you can tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected. though his se- lection is made mentally" said a man who, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is fond of the old things, "and when you come to think of it. the task of naming the correct number is not difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day 1 |asked ten men to think of a certain

It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven Even in the case of ths man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine, he told me when 1t was all over that his mind had first run to seven, but he quickly changed to nins without knowing just why 1t was that he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. t . the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number. and 1t Is quite reasonable that the mind should light on seven. made another test the other day with five persons. askingeach of them to write some number between one and ten, and give 1t to sixth per- son.. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven Is the number on each of the slips
 Correct" said the man to whom they had been handed. and the i've men were bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had all llit upon the same number, and that I was able to tell what the number was. It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20. though have made no tests along this line. dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash in the mind, simply because 1t is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about 1t. and 1t doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."

Sick Headache

When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys- tenn, centering in the. brain.
 This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom- ach causes nausea, vomiting.
 This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
 Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
 They stop the pain by sooth- ing, strengthening and reliev- ing the tension upon the nerves mot by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chlora1, cocaine or similar drugs.
 'Sick headache is hereditary in my family. My father suffered great deal, and for many years I have had spells that were so severe that Lswas unable to attend to my. business affairs for a day or so at a time. During a very severe attack of headache. I took pr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills and they relieved me almost immediately. Since then take them when feel the spell coming on and it stops 1t at once"
