Rheumatic Pains

q have suffered terribly with Anti-Pain Pills and they gave me great relief. I have spells of ter rible pains in my ribs, and in the small of my back, and the Antl-Pain Pills help me right away. l am now we'll of the rheumatism and think Anti-Pain Pills done me more good than all the other medi- cines. l first heard of them through the following circun- stance that happened at our home two years ago. A friend, Mrs. Brown, of Orion, Mich, came to visit us. She had not been able to dress herself or comb her own hair for months. A friend of ours came in and seeing her suffering offered her some Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. She laughed at the idea of relief from such a source after doctoring for so long, but took one one of the tablets with the remark that it would at least do her no harm. She took another that evening, and the next morning she was so elated that she went to the druggists and got a package and took them home with her. Re- gently she was here again, and told us that she continued taking the pills, and that one box cured her, and she has not had symptom of rheumatism since"

 A neat sum was realized of which the ladies are justly proud.

weight of the Brain.

There is just five ounces less amount
IF brain matter needed to keep wom-
an from idiocy than there is needed
for a man. The average weight of a
mans brain is forty nine and one-half
ounces and that of woman forty four
ounces. When brain falls below thlr
ty-seven and half ounces in man
;diocy usually occurs. A womans
brain has to fall to thirty-two and one
half ounces before she reaches the
same condition. Man has larger
brain in proportion to his stature than
woman, while, on the other hand, WON
an has larger brain in proportion 10

to lose weight after the age of thirty;
that of the man not till ten or fifteen
years later The loss in woman is
slight however, and she keeps up a

LETTER FROM
OKLAHOMA
INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF THE
SALE OF THE BIG PASTURE.
Editor Columbia Herald:

Editor Columbia Herald
FLETCHER Okla, Dec. II, 1906
If you had been in Lawton Saturday
afternoon and witnessed the closing
of the land Office promptly at o'clock
you would have seen nothing to indi
cate that one of the largest sales OF
real estate in the United States had
just closed.
1t was the sale of of what was
known as the Big Pasture" contain
ing 505,OOO acres of as fine farming
land as can be found in the west.
1t was sold to the highest bidder
under the sealed bid plan in tracts of
100 acres each. No person being
awarded more than one tract, though
they could bid on as many as they
should choose. A certified check on
some national bank for one-fifth the
amount of the highest bid had to be
enclosed with bid, the remainder to
be paid in four equal annual payments
without interest.
The department officials were great
~ disappointed in the number of bids
filed They had estimated there would
be 10000 to bid, but when the last
bid was numbered Saturday at
o'clock, there had ouly 1921 gone in.
There are 1854 tracts to be sold.
The people were very anxious that it
be sold at public auction but the
Dept thought best results could be
had under the sealed bid plan.
1t will be several weeks before it
is determined who gets land.
There were 40to so tracts of this land
just a mile or two north of Fletcher,
and among the prospective bidders
was the noted Frank James. He was
here for three or four weeks and
had the pleasure-if you call 1t pleas
ure-of talking to him on several oc-
casions. There is absolutely nothing
about him that would lead one to
think he was once such a character
He will talk freely about his career
and boasts of the fact that he was
under Quantrell during the Civil War
Crops were never better in the west.
Corn is making from so to 80 bushels
per acre. Cotton from Il to bale, !
and oats from 40 to 80.
Land has advanced from 10 to 20
per cent. this year.
Respectfully,

CurIOsities of Coffee.

Coffee, as experts are aware, has a
very extraordinary property. IT is one
of the most absorbent matters in ex-
istence Coffee beans placed In damp
room swell and absorb moisture till
they nearly double their weight. Here
is the chance OF the dishonest grocer.
Not content with the amount of profit
made upon coffee. he places pals of
water in room with piles of uncover
ed coffee beans, and by swelling the
coffee adds something like 90 per cent
to his profits The flavor is ruined, but
that does not matter to him. So abb
sorbent is coffee, not only of moisture,
but of gases and lavors, that shippers
OF Brazilian coffee always stipulate
that the sacks of fresh Rio beans shall
never be carried ON a steamer which
has raw hides as any part of her cargo.
These will faint the coffee more surely
than anything else and render it unfit
for use. The useful side Of this quality
OF coffee is that in sickroom hand
fui or two of fresh roasted and ground
beans act as an excellent purifier and
deodorizer.- Washington Post.

The Deadly Dull Bachelor.

1T is always easy to see how long
couple have been married by noting
whether the house is full of his friends
or hers according to a writer in the
London Ladies Field. "A man invari-
ably begins by inviting all his bach
slor friends to his house. He is anx-
lous to show off his wife. and he fond
ly ima@ines that they will like her
and that she will like them, which rare
" happens" The writer then goes on

Il don't know why ones husbands
bachelor chums should. as a rule, be
so deadly dull but they usually are,
and. as matter of fact, it was prob
ably their dullness which originally

BOOKS THAT WOR-

Some of Them Brought Their Writers
to the GalIows as Well.
Parsons Weekly

The Emperor of Germany has Oeei
very worried recently. An hl-adviseC
young man, Prince Alexander of Hob
enlohe- Scillingsfurst, has published the
memoirs of his father, the late lmper
ial Chancellor, which made public facts
about the private life of the German rul
ers. and statesmen and home and for

AS a result of the Kaiser's indigna

the imperial Statthalter of Alsace
Lorraine his resignation of the post
of President of the district of Upper
Alsace. .ssa3

cess Louise of Saxony, whom, it will
be remembered, left her husband, now
King Frederick Augustus of Saxony,

of her children.
"The Confessions of a Princess"
dealt with the wretehed and scandal
lous daily life of various royal houses
on the continent When the news of
the volumes publication reached the
Emperor Williams ears he ordered
all the copies to be seized and destory-
ed and forbade editors of newspapers,
under pain of punishment to review or
mention it.
In times gone by monarchs gave
short shrift to the authors of books
that offended them. The Burbons, for
instance, did not scruple about play
ing assassins to remove" those writ

whose works displeased them. Nor
did the great Napoleon hesitate at all
in shooting or hanging the unhappy
author who crossed his path.

and she gave suggestions toward the
building Of the magnificent home in
9Th avenue, whose doorstep the Yerkes
hoped to make their stepping stone
into New York's most exclusive So
ciety.
While this house was being built
the beautiful daughter and the schem-
tious residence, to cost 100000, on a
large plot of ground just two blocks
away. The wife, unconscious Of the
devotion Of her husband for another
woman, was herself selecting and buy
ing pictures, Oriental hangings, rugs
and tapestries for the second house.
1t thus happened that a short time
after the mansion on 9th avenue was
finished, the key to the second man
sion was turned over to the young
Cincinnati woman. The wife in time
had her eyes opened to the true situa-
ton and naturally Yerkes and his wife
became estranged. Since then Mrs.
Yerkes has been living in solitary
splendor in the 9Th avenue mansion.
From New York Yerkes turned his
attention to London and by develop
ing railway property there added
largely to his millions. In London he
became power and got into society,
the great metropolis either not know
ing or not caring that he had worn
prison stripes in Philadelphia, that he
stood charged Of bribery and corrup-
ton in Chicago and that through the
power of his millions he had erased
that part of the decalogue which was
not to his taste

Yerkes returned to this country, and
as his wife was in possession Of the
9TH avenue mansion he took up his
abode in a hotel. There he was strick-

actual minute of his death. The for
