Device for Bending Pipe Found.

Great improvement over the old
method of bending sand filled pipe by
hand is promised by the invention of
a new bending machine by means of
which one man can bend piece of
two inch pipe into an IS" in three
minutes. The machine is operated
by hand wheel carrying pinion, the
latter engaging quadrant gear, which
in turn operates the bending quad
rant. The pipe to be bent is held in
position at one end by "V' shaped
clip, while pine or roller, placed in
a platen, engages the other end. Plac-
ing the pin in different holes in the
platen governs the curvature obtain
ed. While the machine is portable,
it's chief value will be to those shops
where a large amount of tubing is
bent.

When Duels Meant Business

In it's medieval form dueling was
serious affair The loser was not
only regarded as under the divine dis
pleasure, but as the absolute property
of the victor. He might be hanged
or kept prisoner or handed over for
disposal to the lady in the case. De
Fendilles refused to enter the lists
till he had seen fire lighted with a
gallows made ready to hang and burn
his enemy after his victory he made
so sure Of Another method of the
times barbarism was to drag the
beaten man round the field, dead or
alive; even Bayard complied with this
most. unchivalrous custom. There
were doctors of dueling, who were
consulted just as were advocates OF
law; and the institution became en-
tangled in the intricacies of red tape.
The regulation about the choice. of
arms gave rise to many abuses.
A case admired at the time was
that of two gentlemen in the reign of
Charles TX. of France, who rowed
over to the Isle du Palais in order
TO be free from interruption. Just
as they were about to crosby them
selves and without any seconds-,-they
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1905-04-27

saw number of gentlemen making
for the quay to get boats and come
and separate them. But they ordered
the boatmen-they were both in one
boat-to hurry and get them across,
as they were on urgent business. AS
soon as they touched shore they said
to each other no more than Let us
get to work. These people will be
here in minute" And so they did
scarcely crossing swords before each
man killed the other. Thus they were
found, dying, side by side.
There was historic case at Pied
mont in which fencing master ad
vised a young gentleman under his
tuition to fight with a dagger and
sword and steel collar around the
neck of each duelist, with sharp
points above and below. The young
man was short of stature and the ar
rangement enabled him to look up at
his adversary comfortably, while the
latter could not look down at all
without the risk of nearly cutting his
head off by his own exertions. Con-
sequently the young gentleman dis
patched him very easily in couple
of strokes.

One of the most remarkable finds
If prehistoric Indian days was that OF
the necklace of tempered copper beads
found in an isolated grave near Cox
sackie, N. Y.
This necklace consists of 1873 copper
beads, some unusually fine specimens
If shell wampum and banner stone
bearing about fifty notches represent
ing, it is believed, so many scalps TAX
en- by the Indian who owned it. The
grave in which this unique relic was
found was about half mile back from
the river, on the Saunders farm. The
grave was only three feet deep and
was walled uD with cobblestones, and
as no cobblestones are found nearer
to the location of the grave than three
miles, they must have been carried
that distance for the purpose of wall
ing up the grave. Nothing remained
of the skeleton but piece of cheek
bone.

The middle bead was about three
quarters of an inch in diameter, and
those on either side were most nicely
graduated down to the two end beads,
which were little larger than peas.
Several bones were found in the
grave.
Unfortunately, all but five of the
beads have been given away and are

Dives thought it was good scheme
and sent check accordingly. Laza-
rus was duly referred to the organic
alton and being investigated was
found guilty of chronic aversion to
manual labor and turned down.
Dives did not contribute anony-
mously and in consequence overheard
discussions of his generosity in vari-
GUS public places. One plain citizen,
in street car, perhaps, would say to
another plain citizen:

he doesn't know what to do with it
and I suppose he has got to get rid
of it somehow. And when you con-
slider how he got it,"
The other plain citizen, fully agree.
ing with his friend, would further
proceed to criticise the manner in
which Dives had disposed of his
money and would state what he would
do if he had lots of money and was
going to give away some of it.
And Dives would go home in no
very amiable mood and say: Gee!
You can't satisfy some people-not
even if you give away the crumbs!'

Jap" Spy System Thorough

Here is a recent story in regard to
the system of espionage employed by
The japanese, says a writer in the Lon
don M. A. P, which / find in letter
from ST. Petersburg published in one
If the French papers.
1t is a vivid picture of what these
wonderful soldiers are willing to do
in the interest of their country:
Toward the end of 1898 a Japanese
from Kiu-Siu arrived in St. Peters
burg and opened tea warehouse on
The Nevsky prospect. Shops of this
kind simply swarm in the Russian
capital, but all the same the Japanese
prospered exceedingly. In view of the
big business he anticipated at the Eas-
Ter festivities during the following
spring, the tea merchant got over five
If his fellow countrymen as assistants.
These were all extremely agreeable,
tactful young fellows, who quickly in
gratiated themselves With the aristo-
;ratic clientele of the shop.
But, despite the prosperity of their
business, the Japanese did not seem
happy. Their melancholy was noticed
and at last they confessed their secret.
They did not in the least mind leaving
Japan; they were delighted with Rus

Airs. III. Mi att

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is b
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism.
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic.
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at.
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years l suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system tl.at I
was unable to attend to my daily duties. l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement, or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever,

6reatcr nan ever.
~ was thought in 1908, when over
forIy-iive thousand people went from
She United States to Canada, that the
limit Of the yearly immigration to
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number of Ameri-
can citizens signified their intention
OF becoming settlers on Canadian
lands, the general public were pre-
cared for the announcement of large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when it is made
known that predictions of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
In the fact that the Spring movement
Ganadaward is greater than it has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha, Chicago, ST. Paul. Detroit,
and other gateways has been crowd
cd Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources, sat-
listed that what others have done can
also pc done by them. This year
much new territory has been opened
~Ip-by the railroads which are extend
ing their main lines and throwing out
branches in their march across the
Best grain and grazing lands on the
continent. This new territory has
attractions for those desiring to home
stead on the one hundred and sixty
acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage Of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
AT does not require much thought to
Uonvince one that if Iowa. Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty TO one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty TO fifty bushels Of corn to the acre,
she lands of Western Canada at seven
40 ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of a
superior wheat to the acre should
produce competence to. the ordinary
'farmcr in very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres
of such land in Western Canada in
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in
rvited the cattle and horse producer
xof the North American continent
What is particularly evident in West.
ern Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands, adjoining the grazing lands
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable. The agents of the
Canadian Government, who, are al
ways willing to give information and
advice to intending settlers, say that
the acreage put under crop this sea
son is greatly in excess Of last sea

said: Certainly. Help yourself"

"Why not do the thing properly?"

Table and Stove.

Both table and a means of heating
foods and water are of the nature of
necessities around the sick room and
nursery, and it has remained for a
woman to combine these features as
shown in the accompanying cut There
are number of novel features about
this arrangement. The heating is done
by lamp of the ordinary character,
such as is to be found around most
any household. Placed on the floor,
the top of the chimney is allowed to
come just below the table top and
the table, being supplied with tele-
scoping legs, can be placed at any de-
sired height. Any small utensils
filled with food or water may be
quickly heated by merely placing it
On the table over the opening.
The hinged extension leaf may be
made to answer several purposes. In
the first place, it increases the capaci-
