GRAVEYARD OF, BOTTLES
Strangers Following a Mountain
Trail Are shown an Odd -
~,ys n5 sight. 81 -r- aA

Two men spending the summer in the
region, following mountain trail in
Tennessee, they come, at one point, to a
cabin beside the trail in the woods.
Two men visible at this cabin, one a
man Of so or thereabouts with cheerful
countenance and brown mustache, sit
ting on his porch, and the other younger
man, of 80. maybe, also amiably disposed,
and with a black mustache and closely
trimmed vandyke beard Of the same hue,
sitting, on stump about ten feet from
the cabin, in front.
The man on the porch, pleasantly, to
the men on the trail. as they come along
abreast of the cabin:
Want to see mountain graveyard?"
why, yes" says the leader of the two
men on the trail. a man with no particular
fancy, really. for any sort of graveyards
mountain or otherwise, but still not wish
ing to seem impolite; Eyes, we'd like to
see the graveyard"
We'll, just step around here In front of
the cabin" says the man on the porch;
right around to the other end"
And the two men from the trail do step
around as directed. and look about them.
but without seeing anything; when pres
emily they hear again the voice of the
cheerful man on the porch:
Look up on the end of the house."
And as the strangers duly look there
they see the mountain graveyard in the
form of seventy-two empty bottles of
various shapes and sizes and colors of
glass, wired in pretty nearly uniform rows
to the boarding In the gable and the end
OF the house, the bottles extending across.
so, from the peak of the roof half way
down to the ground. Seventy-two of
them.
But the two men at the cabin, the two
sections OF this mountain graveyard of
empty graves, sitting one on the cabin
porch and the other on the stump in front,
seemed to be all riEht-perhaps 1t was the
bracing mountain air that enabled them
to Withstand the effects of the mountain
dew.--Washington Post.

what Can BE Done.

What you and can do about II is this:
We can recollect what we were and 8
and 10 and IL years old.
We can ask ourselves whether II would
have been q good thing for us to be shut
up In the factory or sewing-room 800 days
every year ct that time OF life
Every one Of US knows that II would
have been a bad thing.
First-Thoge are the growing years OF
life. You and I. well, perhaps we were
four inches taller every year than we were
the year before. We did not earn any
wages-nol But we were growing UP
strong and well because we could try our
selves in all sorts OF life. We had good
exercise. We had as much 10 eat OF what
was good for US to eat. and We were happy.
Second-We recollect again that we were
a great deal with our fathers and mothers
and brothers and sisters. We knew what
the word home was, and that home II the.
dearest place in this world.
Third-We do not talk about IL a great
deal, for It Is too sacred a thing to be
lightly talked about, but some of us, per-
haps all of us, found out that God Is our
loving father: that he Is very near to us
and we are very near to him. We would
not lose the memories and the help of
what he has told us ana we have told him
for anything which you can offer US.
Fourth--Most Of us came out. when we
were l6 years old, strong and well. ready
TO take part with the best men and women
in the world, in the very best work OF
the world.

Treating Lousy Stock.

Farm stock that become bad.
ly infested with lice during the
winter months do not thrive as
they should, and in the spring
may show marked unthrifti.
ness.
The sucking lice are more
harmful than the biting varie-
ties, as the former have mouth
parts adapted to penetrating
the skin and sucking the blood
of the host. However, the
symptoms may be as marked
in animals that are badly in.
tested with biting lice. In
such cases the wool or coat be-
comes matted and detached
and idflamed as a result of the
animals rubbing, biting and
scratching the parts.
Good care during the winter
will prevent the lice from do.
ing a great deal of harm, and
the simpler remedies. such as
mercurial and sulphur oint-
ment rubbed back of the horns
or ears and along the name and
back, and insect powder busted
into the coat, may help in des-
troying them. A favorable
time to use dips or washes is
in the spring. A one or two
per cent water solution of a tar
disinfectant should be used. A
convenient way to apply the
remedy in the larger animals
is with spray pnmp. and in
sheep and hogs by dipping.
Whatever method is used the
coat and skin must be
thoroughly wet with the solu.
tion. Proper care should be

Important Divorce Ruling.

The U. S. Supreme Court
handed down a decision Tues
day that will be far-reaching in
its effects, according to emil
nent attorneys. The decision
relates to divorces, and will no
doubt affect many people.
The court holds, in substance
that a divorce is not legal if
granted to a plaintiff living in
one state when the defendant
lives in another state-and does
not appear at the trial. The
finding of the court. sustained
by five judges aud dissented
from by four, was in the case
Of John and Harriet Haddock.
They were married in 1868, but
he Immediately left her and
went to live in Connecticut. In
In that state in 1881, he obtain
ed a divorce. and married an
other woman. But the first
wife appealed the case to the
New York higher court, which
held thatthe divorce was illegal
and the second marriage null
and void. The supreme court
of the U::::ited States has now
upheld this latter decision.
Many divorces have been
granted in similar manner az
the Haddock's decree, and
many complications are pre-
dicted by legal authorities. II
is believed that it will knock
out the South Dakota divorce
mills. A prominent attorney
declared that the decision
means that one.ffth or more ot
the divorces are not legal.
One Chicago Judge and one
Minneapolis judge hold the su.
preme court decision to mean
that Divorces granted in one
state are good only so long as
the parties to the action con.
tinue to reside in the state
where the action was had
There seems to be no sense in
such a contention, however
and jurists generally do not
hold to the view that a person
who secures a divorce in North
Dakota, for instance, which is
all right and legal in this state
has no divorce if he or che re.
moves to another state, and be.
comes a bigamist or an adul.
terer if he or she marries again
in that other state.
Some good lawyers believe
that the supreme court Judges
have got their wires crossed
anyhow, and will later modify
or reverse this crazy decision

Be A Booster.

Boosting" is slang word
that fits admirably into Amer
ican speech. There is no other
that quite conveys the mean
ing.
The word "jolly" is another
bit of ofcolloquialisn useful in it's
way. But there is a wide diff
ference between a jolly and a
boost. To jolly is to flatter. To
boost is to put forth a sincere
effort. The jollier uses his lips
only. The booster acts from
the heart. The latter is sincere
He believes, therefore he boosts
He has a good reason for boost
ing. That which he boosts de-
serves to be boosted.
Take the man who boosts his
town. 1t is the center of the
universe to him. His property
is there. His home. His fam
lily. His future. Even his
grave. He boosts his town be-
cause it is his town and be.
cause he believes it is worth
boosting.
He is an admirable fellow,
the booster.
Sometimes he may appear to
be a "knocker." The knocker
is the opposite of the booster;
He knocks because he is a
booster. He wants better gov.
eminent. He knocks in orde,
that he may boost. When
things are put right he begins
to boost again.
One of the beauties about
boosting your community, fol
instance, is the reaction of it.
When you boost you, town you
boost yourself. Aud boosting
makes the booster happy.
A newspaper writer says
boos ting is the sonl of work
That is a fine definition. Work
effort of any sort, without en-.
thusiasm, is but a treadmill
a dreary round of com.
monplaces. There is no soul
in it. Work without soul in il
is drudgery.
Be booster. Put soul into
effort.
And thus every boost in he.
half of your town, or YOU,
church or your cause-what.
ever it may be-will become a
constant series of happy &C.
complishments.

taken in mixing the remedy, as
there is danger of maaing it
too strong and irritating the
skin.
After treating the herd the
stables. sheds or sleeping quar-.
ters should be sprayed with
about a two percent water
solution of the disinfectant, or
whitewash may be used in
stead. This is necessary in
order to pre- vent re-infecting
the herd from the surroundings.
Il there is much litter around
the yards and it cannot be got
ten rid of it is advisable tc
move the herd to other yards.
Tar disinfectants is one or two
per cent solution do not destroy
the eggs or nits. hence it is
necessary to treat the animals
again in ten days or two weeks
Stockmen sometimes ask if the
feeding of sulphur to lousy
animals will not drive away or
destroy the lice. The FEEDING
of small doses of sulphur will
do no harm, neither will it help
in: getting rid of the lice, and
it cannot be considered a rem.
edy for this class of disorders
when used in this way. Sui
phur is effective. however
when used externally, aud the
addition of four ounces to every
gallon of the tar disinfectan,
solution greatly Increases the
effectiveness of the remedy.
