But that has nothing to do with the
matter Of voting to elect Mayor or a

law in any American city, or in de-
Gliding what privileges should or
should not be granted the saloon

IN all these matters the fact remains
that the moral, noble, educated wives,
mothers and sisters OF the respectable
citizens of our land, are as we'll

Upsets Case of Defense.

The defense in the case of Daniel
Reagan, charged at Reno, New, with
the murder of his mother-in-law, was
that she didn't die from blow, but
from a weak heart. So the attorneys
for the state brought the dead wo-
mans heart into court to demonstrate
by medical testimony, that it was
sound.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ter
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
1t is the same in buying Chamber
lain'S Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. 1t costs but a few cents,
and bottle of it in the house often
saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

Ex-Governor of Wisconsin. Formerly
Editor of "Peck's Sum-" Author Of
"Peck's Bad Boy" Etc)
Copyright. 1905. by Joseph B. Bowles)
The old grocerman was sitting in the
old grocery one fine spring morning,
looking over his accounts, as they were
written on a Quire of brown wrapping
paper with a blunt lead pencil, and
wondering where he could go to collect
money to pay note that was due at
the bank at noon on that day. He
was looking ten years older than he did
the year before, when the Bad Boy had
played his last trick on the old man,
and gone abroad to chaperone his sick
father, in a search for health and ad-
venture. The old man had missed the
boy around the grocery, and with no
one to keep his blood circulating, and
his temperature occasionally soaring
above the normal, he had failed in
health, and had read with mixed feel
ings of Joy, fear and resentment that
the Bad Boy and his dad had ar
rived home, and he knew it could not
be long before the boy would blow in,
and he was trying to decide whether
to meet the boy cheerfully and with
a spirit Of resignation, or to meet him
with a club; whether to give him the

Suggestive of the Ever

A clergyman was very fond of par
ticular hot brand of pickles, and find
ing great difficulty in procuring the same
sort at hotels when travelling, always car
ried a bottle with him, relates the Taller.
One day when dining at restaurant with
his pickles in front of him stranger sat
down at the same table, and, with an Amer
lean accent, presently asked the minister to
pass the pickles. The minister, who en-
joyed the joke, politely passed the bottle:

LOUISIANA HOSPITALITY.
Strangers Were Treated Just the
Same as Members of the
Family.

A group of drummers were trading yarns
on the subject of hospitality, relates Llpp-
incotts Magazine, When one, a little Vir-
ginian, with humorous eye and delightful
drawl, took up his parable thus:
II was down in Louisiana last month trav-
elm cross country with S. j. Cary (the
same being Stonewall jackson G., at your
service), when we kinder got lost in mighty
lonesome sort O road just about dark: We
rode along a right good piece after sundown,
and when we saw light ahead | tell you
it looked first rate. We drove up to the
light, findin' twas a house, and when |
hollered like lost calf the man came out
and we asked him to take us in for the night.
He looked at us mighty hard, and then said:
wal, | reckon | kin stand it if you kim So
we unhitched went in and found twas only
a two-room shanty and just swarmin' with
children. He had six, four to II years old,
and as there didn't seem to be but one bed,
me an Stoney was wonderln' what In thun-
der would become of us.
''They gave us supper, good hog and hom-
inv. the best they had, and then the old
woman put the two youngest kids to bed.
They went straight to sleep. Then she took
those out, laid them over in the corner, put
the next two to bed-and SO on. After all
the children were asleep on the floor the
old folks went in the other room and told
us we could go to bed if we wanted to, and,
bein' powerful tired out, we did.
''Well, sir, the next morning when we
woke up we were lying over in the corner
with the kids and the old man and the old
woman mad the bed.

FILINGS AT THE FAIR.

You can nearly always convince
woman, if you try not to.
A discussion must be carried pretty
far to move a woman.
A woman usually tries to endear her
self, by making herself as costly as
possible.
Few men consider it worth while to
be Jealous of their wives after they
have been married ten years.
A woman who has married for love is
generally willing to have her daughter
marry for all the modern comforts.
Unless a man wants to know from
whom every letter woman gets is it
is hard for her to feel sure he loves her.
A woman may never learn anything
in a cooking school, but she can turn
up her nose at the ones who haven't
been.

gled, but l think the combination of
robbers at Carlsbad stuck together and
got the goods off dad in the most
systematic manner. Some way they
got news when we arrived, Of the ex-
act amount of money dad had got out
of the bank, and before we had break
fast the fakirs had divided it up among
themselves, and each one knew just
what was going to be his share, and
it was just like getting check from
home for them. If we were going
there again we would give the money
to some particular fakir to divide with
the rest, and then take few swallows
Of their rotten egg water, and get
out.
Say. did you ever eat a piecc of
custa-d pie made out of stale eggs
Well, that is just about the same as
the Carlsbad water, only the water
is noS baked with a raw crust on the
bottom. But the doctor dad consult
ed was a peach. Dad asked him how
much of the water he ought to drink,
and the doctor held counsel with
himself and said dad might drink
all he could hold, and when dad asked
him how much his charges were, he
said: oh, wait till you are cured.
So dad thought he was not going TO
charge for his advice. but after we had
drank the water for ten days, and dad
was so weak he couldn't brush the
flies off his bald spot. we decided to go
to rest cure, and when we had our
tickets bought the doctor attached our
baggage, and had bill against dad
for $3.50 for consultations, operations,
