aud should be required to file bond
of not less than 100000"
81 further recommend that the
law as to the location of county dis
pensaries be amended to restrict
them TO such incorporated towns and
cities as, in the opinion ot the Board
of Directors, furnish adequate police
protection. All dispensaries 80 To-
Gated, in my opinion, should be
closed"
After mature reflection | am con-
strained to commend that the County
Boards of Control be abolished, and
the dispensers appointed by the State
Board of Directors upon the recon-
mendation of the Legislative delega-
tions of the various counties.
1t should never be the policy of
the State to force dispensaries upon
counties or communities desiring
prohibition nor to maintain them
when it is the wish of the majority
of the people to substitute prohibit
tion in their stead.
Legislation should be enacted at
this session to free the system from
the abuses which have crept in, to
emphasize its restrictive features,
and to ensure proper compliance
with the strict letter of the law.
This matter will certainly be brought
to your attention at this session of
your body. sincerely trust that
you will give it your most careful
consideration, and that you will,
with realization of your RESPONSE
bilities, make fearless and deter
mined effort to effect such changes
as will at least relieve our State of
the reproach which certain features
of the dispensary system have cast
upon us. need not assure you that
in the discharge of this duty am
ready and willing to aid you in every
way that lies in my power.
ENFORCEMENT OF PROHIBITION.
The enforcement of prohibition in
counties which have voted out dis
pensaries presents serious problem.
The present law, as / construe it.,
makes it the duty of the Governor,
whenever he is satisfied that there
are violations of law in such coun-
ties, to appoint constables; these
constables to be paid from the spe-
cial tax levied for that purpose. Dur
ing the past year / have been con-
fronted with many difficulties be-
cause of local conditions and diverse
public sentiment, but have endeav-
ored to do what / considered my
duty.
My experience in the enforcement
of this law has convinced me that
certain changes are necessary for the
mutual interests of all concerned.
While | believe that special officers
are necessary to prevent violations,
and that such officers should be paid
by the counties, | also think that
these officers should be selected by
local authorities and be under their
direction and control.
} /, therefore, recommend that in
the future this course be adopted
and trust you will 80 amend the law
The law, as it now stands, will give
rise to serious complications, and
these should be avoided as much az
possible.

The young mother thinks, when she has
completed the baby garments that are to
clothe the little form. But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many a
young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why it was
not possible to prepare III some way for
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost uncomfortable.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures of maternity. It prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suffer. 1t strengthens the whole
body, so that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. 1t promotes healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. 1t gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless
Healthy mothers have healthy children,
and it is the general testimony of those
who have used DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
and happier than those born after
months of mental misery and physical
anguish on the part of the prospective
mother

NIuZZIe.LOadePS.

We are told about the great
slaughter the Indians used to make
among the buffalo in the good old
days, but this success was not to be
attributed to their good marksman-
ship, because they killed these noble
beasts with their guns almost "boute
touchant."
One thing about their mode Of
loading and firing might be interest
ing to readers Of the present day in
asmuch as a generation has been
born and has grown up since the last
buffalo roamed the plains.
The Indians and halfbreeds who
went on these periodical Tound-ups
were armed with and preferred the
old nor'west muzzle-loading flint lock.
They could load and fire with such
rapidity that one would almost fancy
they carried repeating gun. Sus-
pended under their right arm by 4
deer thong was common cows horn
of powder and in a pouch at their
belt handful or two of bullets.
AS the horse galloped up to the
herd, the Indian would pour charge
Of powder into his left hand, trans
fer 1t into the barrel OF the gun, give
the butt a pound on the saddle, and
out of his mouth drop on top a bull
let. AS the lead rolled down the bar
rel it carried in its wet state parti-
cles OF powder that stuck on the
sides, and settled on top Of the pow
der charge No rod or ramming was
used.
The gun was carried muzzle UP,
resting on the hollow of left arm un-
til such time as the Indian desired to
fire. The quarry being so close no
aim was required. On DETECTING the
barrel the trigger was pulled before
the ball had time to roll clear of the
powder
The Indians saw that their buffalo
guns had very large touch-holes,
thereby assuring the pan being
prlmed When all the balls were
fired a few others were chucked into
the mouth and merrily went on the
game. Forest and Stream,

AngOra Goats.

The Angora goat is destined to be-
come one of the most valuable of the
domestic animals, and their recent
popularity is something that they
have long deserved. Formerly thd
public was preiudiced against An
CORA venison, but the growers end
butchers have demonstrated its eX-
cellenCe, and now there are but few
mutton eaters who do not like goat
meat. The result is a steady remu-
nerative market demand for Angora
goats, but the raising of them is con-
fined almost exclusively to the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific coast States.
In Colorado, New Mexico and Arr
zona there are many herds ranging
from 800 to 5000 in each flock. The
average price obtained for moha!r
for a six months clip is 23h cents
per pound. This is good average
price and decidedly remunerative.
Nearly all the goat raisers in those
localities are paying special attention
to the breeding Of fine stock, and the
result during the past six years has
developed some very fine stock and
for which good prices have been OBJ
tained.
In the opinion of many expert
enoed and successful stock ralsers
there is a great future for the An
CORA goat because of its many fine
points and valuable uses that can be
made of them on the farm. The
hair from the Angora goat makes a
fabric which rivals that of silk. a
good goat will produce from 4 10 6
pounds of this class of mohair, which
ranges in price from 25 to 40 cents
per pound. according to the length.
quality and luster of the hair.
The most valuable service which
the Angora performs on the farm is
in clearing brush land. There Is
nothing that kills brush and trees
quicker than the constant nibbling
away Of the tender leaves and bark,
which constitutes the best food for
goat, although they will eat any
class Of food that is fed to domestic
animals. There is no reason why the
Angora goat venison should not be
considered as dainty meat as that
of the deer. If the health of the
animal is a criterion for the purity
and healthfulness of the meat, there
is no flesh food comparable with that
of the Angora goat.

DYING PEARLS.
The Fate OF Necklace Once Worn by
the Wife of NJ. Theirs,

The Fate OF Necklace Once Worn by
the Wife of M. Theirs,
In the Louvre Museum at Paris Ia
to be seen a pearl necklace on its
deathbed. Not literally on a bed,
but on velvet cushion, 1t Ia the
great necklace left by the great diplo-
mat and statesman. Theirs, which
once belonged to this prominent
statesman's deceased wife, 1t Is
mounted In an unostentatious style
and has no value as an article de
vertu beyond the former value OF the
pearls, which was about 100000.
1t consists of las pearls In three
rows, which weigh altogether 20e7
grains. The largest three pearls
weigh thirty-six, thirty-nlne and
fifty-one grains.
The pearls Of this necklace are
destined to die, says the Deutsche
Goldschmiede Zeitung, as they are
gradually losing their lustre from
day to day, and will during the next
few decades turn as black as the
faded roses of the much handled
wreath. But why? Because pearls
will only retain their original lustTe
when they are worn by beautiful
women and come in frequent con-
tact with the warm skin of the
wearer.
When pearl necklace is removed
from the neck. where it has been ex-
posed to a high temperature, ana 10
placed in cold marble tablet, which
is of about one-half of such high
temperature, 1t may be justly in
ferred that the scales of the pearls
will contract and lose some of their
brilliancy. When pearl necklaces
are habitually placed on velvet cush-
ions after having been worn this
circumstance may also we'll contri-
butte to the detriment of the beauty
of a pearl, while the chemical COM
position of the color may be an adj
ditional factor in this direction, not
to overlook the effects Of strong
light.
The management of the Louvre
Museum has held this necklace of
M. Theirs In high esteem, and IT has
probably noticed the gradual deteri-
Grafton with serious concern, The
lack of authority to do has no doubt
prevented the board of managers
from taking the responsibility of ex-
perimental steps advised by compe-
tent experts to save this necklace
from further deterioration,
How long pearls do live-that is,
retain their lustre-has not been de-
termined. Examples do exist where
pearls have retained their beauty for
several hundred years, On the other
hand, 1t has also been demonstrated
that under adverse treatment pearls
will die quickly, justifylng the prov
erb, you must not throw pearls to
swine"
