nARN1NG STOCKINGS.

Darnil1g stockings is never very
welcome task. and too often in the case
where there is a large family the task
seems almost endless. The following
method will insure less darning, be-
cause the darns being more secure Will
last longer. Before beginning to darn
hole tack a piece of coarse net lightly
to the stocking over the hole, then darn
over the net and be sure to also darn
well * to the stockings as well TO keep
the darn firm. The net makes such q
good foundation that the work is more
quickly done. and the result is a much
smoother and neater darn than one
done in the old way.-Washington Star

Broke Leo in Catching Fly.

There have been many cases where
bali players in throwing the sphere
about have fractured their arms at
the elbows or the shoulder, but the
records show only one instance where
a player ever broke both legs in at
tempting to catch fly ball. Umpire
King. one Of the American leagues
Judges of play, several years ago
while taking part in a game, ran after
a foul fly. He misjudged 1t and in
suddenly turning around to make the
catch he fractured both knee caps
AS a result Of this queer accident he
was confined to his bed for seven
months and never played ball again

Far West. 1t is thought that Kidder
County, North Dakota, was named ar
ter Lieutenant Kidder. The Republi-
can, printed at Steele, Kidder County,
North Dakota, recently printed short
sketch written by DR.. A. ]. Woodcock,
Of Byron, ILL.,, describing the fate Of
this gallant cavalryman. He writes;
1T was early in the year 1868 that
Lieutenant Kidder, with ten troops OF
the Second U. s. Cavalry guided by
famous Sioux chief, Red Bead, left
Fort Sedgewlck, on the South Platte
River, carrying dispatches from Lieu
tenant-General VIM. T. Sherman TO the
command of General George Armstrong
Custer, then supposed to be operating
in the vicinity of the forks of the Re-
publican River.
General Custer says: 1T was sup
posed that Kidder and his party ar
rived at our deserted camp at the forks
Of the Republican about nightfall, but
finding us gone had determined to avail
themselves Of the moonlight night and
overtake us before we should break
camp next morning. Riding rapidly in
the dim light OF the evening they had
failed to observe the point at which we
had diyerged from the palmer trail Of
the wagon train escorted by Robbins
and Cook. and instead of following our
trail had continued on the former in
the direction of Fort Wallace on the
Smoky Hill route overland, some eighty
miles distant.

4 Jap HERO.

I rushed by a fellow who was down;
his left leg was shot away. He was
bleeding eopiously. Through the din
Of rifle fire and machine guns which
gave us a mantle Of smoke and dust,
shouted to him: ITO the rear, to the
Field Hospital and be quick about it."
The fellow looked at me. and upon his
face was marked sign of surprise
His lips quiyered in half smile. The
expression of his face was at once an
Interrogation point and mild rebuke.
Then he began to wiggle himself for
ward through the bodies of his fallen
comrades. l repeated my order,
which. seeing that he could not walk
very well with one leg. was rather
foolish one-I was somewhat exasper-
ated at the evident Indifference on
his part to the order of his superior
officer. He raised his face in my d.

enough to strike at the Russian"

GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds Of people afflicted with rheu.
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing TO join the
ranks Of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story
Fout years ago suffered greatly
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After had been sitting while
my limbs seemed so heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as
kept moving was all right, but just as
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
Ny hands were SO bad couldn't touch
the palms Of them on fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
"Did you call in physician?"
"I doctored steadily for over year;
then ono doctor said You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
How, then, did you get rid OF it?"
"At different times had read in vari-
Gus publications about DR.. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. ! took
them steadily for four months in ac-
A cordAnce with the directions. By chat
lime was completely cured"
"Have you been free from 1t ever
since?"
"Since then / have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and box or two OF
the same pills made me all right again. !"
Mrs. T. a. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed fro'l the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but single
Joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one OF
the dangers is that it may break out IL,
: the heart and then the result must be
) fatal. The only security is to keep the
| blood all the time in a perfectly sound
condition.
!. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

Causes Of earthquakes.

There are many earthquakes which
there is reason to suppose have been
caused by those sheering movements
Of the rocks which produce what ge-
ology terms faults. Others are known
which appear to have been caused by
the sudden dropping or fan Of con
siderable tract of the earth's surface
with the underlying rocks OF great
but unknown, thickness. In such
cases large areas Of the surface, more
than 100 miles square in extent, SUD

The man himself is both sail area

breeze behind him. and clean, green
ice ahead, the skate-sailer comes the
nearest we shall ever get to the wing
footed god that slid down rainbow.
Wings on his feet, and his arms teth-
cred to great white wings, he is the
lyre of the west wind in a kind OF
rhapsody of motion. He is as sensi
