Shaky knowledge Of Geography.

English ignorance of American
geography is an unfailing source OF
amusement, and it must be said that
as the English grow more and more
to admire us there is less excuse for
it. Under a design of President
Roosevelt in hunting garb an illus
trated English weekly has recently
placed an explanation of the presi-
dents plans for the trip and this
added information: ellis secretary
alone will know of his whereabouts,
and that official lives on a private

Quality VS.. Quantity.

Hard muscles and strong body
do not depend on the quantity Of
food you eat, but on its perfect
digestion and proper assimilation.
When you take Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, your system gets all the
nourishment out of all the food
you eat. It digests what you eat
regardless Of the condition of the
stomach and conveys the nutri-
Gent properties to the blood and
tissues. This builds up and
strengthens the entire system.

Helen's p. S.

Helen had been taught to say her
prayers every night, and the little
prayer beginning, "Now 1 lay me
down to Sleep" was the prayer used.
One day an old friend of the family
Auntie Benson, came to spend the
day and on leaving asked Helen to
remember her in her prayers. Helen
agreed. That night after asking
that a blessing should rest on her
mother, father, grandparents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, friends, etc., Helen
rose from her knees. She walked
across the room and jumped into
bed. Then like a shot she jumped
out again. sank down on her knees
andcxclaimed, "postscript, and Aunt

Home Sanitation.

Every week there should be thorough
attention given to the plumbing in the
house. All waste pipes should be
flushed with boiling lye in SUFFICIENT
quantities to eat away the accumula-
ton Of grease that coats the interior OF
the pipes leading from the Kitchen,
says the Chicago News. A solution Of
earboiic acid Is invaluable for flushing
the pipes leading from stationary wash
stands. The solution In either case
should be poured rapidly. 80 the pipes
are full and eve"y bit of the interior
surface Is thus made sanitary. Two
pounds Of copperas dissolved in pail
Of water is all excellent solution, as
also boiling solution Of sal soda, one
pint to three gallons of water.

then that Doan's Ointment is a
positive remedy for all / itchiness
Of the skin, for piles, eczema, etc.
One application relieves and
sooths. Read this testimony Of its
merit:
Mrs. Sadie Ranger, of COB 9th
street, Marietta, Ohio, says: "Mr.
Ranger has had no reason to
change his opinion about Doan's
Ointment, which was expressed in
our Marietta papers in 1900. He
had been troubled with hemor-
rhoids for some time and this was
the first remedy which afforded
him positive and complete relief.
We have used Doan's Ointment in
our family as need has arisen with
the children and find there is moth
ing to equal it for relieving itch
mess or irritation of the skin, with
which they have been troubled.

Writing About Facts or Faneies 10 .
Novel Game.
Do you ever think when studying
your history what you would have
done had you been this person or
that? 1t is an easy thing to see
where certain persons made serious
mistakes, and we naturally think
we would have done differently. If
Julius Caesar had stayed at home
that day instead of going up to the
'capitol-if Napoleon had been con-
tent when he was ruler of France
instead of trying to control all Eu-
rope-if Benedict Arnold had re-
NAMED loyal to his country instead
of trying to betray it to the enemy.
The idea suggests a good game.
Let each player write for ten min
utes on the subject, 'Some Things
l Would Do if l We're President"
or "Some Things / Would Do if l
Were Car of Russia" In similar
way it may be supposed that you
are a schoolteacher, a policeman, a
tramp, a dog chasing a rabbit, a

tives, boy in a runaway balloon
drifting away over the ocean, a
sailor shipwrecked ON a very small

School Exhibition.

The pupils of the Prairie Basse
school gave a very creditable exhi-
bition on Thursday night of last
week at the school house, the exer-
cises consisting of flag drill, doll
drill, songs, recitations and table
aux, with music by Lanasa's band,
followed by refreshments. The
good people of the neighborhood,
led by Messrs. Collins and Jen-
nings, took great interest in the
preparations for the somewhat un-
usual occasion, and cheerfully gave
the Jealous teacher, Miss Leila San
doz, much valuable assistance. -,
Miss Leila was the recipient OF
many congratulations upon the
complete success of her self-im'
posed task, and the children, as
we'll as their parents, appeared
to be thoroughly delighted with
every feature of the interesting
affair. A large crowd was present
so large that the school house
could not contain one-fourth of it,
and the exercises were held in the
open air.

Dear Sir: But few of the men
who sell the hundred different
paints in the market know much
about them. All Devoe agents
have a state chemists certificate
telling just what it's made of; they
know a good deal, not only about
Devoe but the rest; we see that
they do. We buy every paint,
that has any sale, and analyze it.
Our agent finds out all about it.
When we know what paint is
made of, we know how it will act;
we know how far it goes, and how
long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100
The best of the aest is about Is:
the worst about %; the rest are
between.
But the men, who sell them,
don't know any better. They
know what the maker tells them
That is: they know that he tells
them. They don't know whether
| he tells them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted OF
knowledge; the less they know
they more comfortable they are.

The flower parade given under

tempted here. The parade was
headed by Col. J. J. Thompson and

ernor's staff, and Major A. D. Ste.
wart, of the State National Guard,
all in full dress uniform; then fol
lowed the Whitney Talbot band,
the, marshals and floats in regular
order. A committee of five disin
terested citizens was selected te
award the prize for the handsom
est vehicle to the successful com
petitor, and we understand the
judges were confronted with a diff
ficuit task indeed, each vehicle
having been so artistic and elab
crate in design and decoration as
to preclude the possibility of an
easy selection of the prize winner
1t was finally determined, however,
that Mrs. DR.. J. P. Saizan was en-
titled to the prize, a beautiful
brooch studded with diamonds and
pearls. The festivities were brought
to a close Tuesday night with q
grand ball, which was participated
in by the younger element.
