Sanatorium,

hington.-President Roosevelt
has signed the act authorizing the
transfer Of small tract of land near
Leach Lake to the state of Minnesota
for sanatorium for the treatment Of
consumption. The area of land is
small, about forty acres, and the state
is required to pay $1.25 per acre for
it. AS it is within the limits Of the
land which may be overlooked from
the Leech Lake reservoir, the act pro-
vides that the federal government shall
not be liable for damages for such
overflow.

CRterpillar Fever.

The symptoms of the ailment known
to doctors as caterpillar rash" are in
tense irritation on the palms, and some.
times on the face, accompanied by a
number of blisterlike swellings which,
when they occur round the eyes, some
times have the effect of obstructing
vision. The preventive is to leave
hairy caterpillars alone. As the
palmer worm," the hairy caterpillar
Of the gold tail moth, one of the COM
monest and most beautiful objects of
the country at midsummer, passes
from hand to hand, 1t leaves on every
palm a few of its loosely attached
hairs, and those hairs are possessed,
for the protection of the caterpillar
against birds and browsing animals,
Of what scientists call "urticating prop
critics." "Urtica" is the Latin for met
tie" Many other hairy caterpillars are
almost as bad as the palmer worm"
and as general rule the less you ham
die any hairy caterpillar the better

After the battle of New Orleans, says
Thomas E. Watson in his magazine,
when the victor had been crowned with
laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed
like demigod through the streets, it
was of his mother that he spoke to the
officers whom he was about to disband
their glorious work being done.
Gentlemen, if only she could have
lived to see this day" AS you follow
the narrative of Andrew Jackson's ca
reer, you will hear him say many
things that you will not approve, will
see him do many things which you
cannot applaud, but when you re-
call that at the very top notch of his
success and his pride his heart stayed
In the right place and was sore because
his mother could not be there to glad
den her old eyes with the glory of her
son you will forgive him much in his
life that was harsh and cruel and ut
terly wrong.

The benefit of Exercise.

Exercise does for the body what the
mountain side does for the stream of
water. When the water runs down the
mountain side it is a babbling brook,
leaping out into the air now and then,
throwing itself into spray, exposing it
self to the air and sunshine and the
waters are crystal pure. In the valley
or on level plain the waters may form
stagnant pools and get covered over
with slime of all sorts and inhabited
by all kinds of filthy creeping things.
Some people let themselves get into the
condition of that stagnant pool and
then wonder why the frogs croak in
their brains and why the birds do not
sing instead. When person gets into
the condition where the body is like a
stagnant pool a radical change must be
made in his life. He must begin by
getting vitaiZed, new blood into all his
cells and tissues.-Good Health.

Sweetheart of ..Robin Adair..

"RObin Adair' was written by Lady
Caroline Keppel, the daughter Of the
Earl Of Albemarle. Robin was a real
character, young Irish doctor who
had been forced by a scandalous adj
venture to leave Ireland and seek his
fortune in England. Chance threw a
rich patient in his way, lady of quail
ity, and at her house he met Lady
Caroline, and the result was a case of
love at first sight on both sides. Her
parents objected and sent her away,
and during her absence she produced
the song.

England's Youngest Bride.

The youngest bride who was ever
led to the altar in England, so far as
we can discover, was little Catherine
Apsley, who had only seen four sum-
mers when she became the wife of the
first Earl Bathurst, who was exactly
double her age. The tiny ring worn
by Catherine on this occasion, over
two centuries ago, is still preserved.
Lord Bathurst survived to see the
eighty-third anniversary of his we'd
ding day, while his lady was a wife for
seventy-six years.-London Chronicle.

local headquarters, and others are still

a most enjoyable and memorable re-
union. Entertainments suited to all

Revision of the constitution is one of
the most important matters to come
before the convention. The order was
established as a social organiza ton,
and Good Fellowship" was one of the
prerogatives for membership. So rap
id has been the growth of the order
that it has been f. nd necessary to
broaden its scope. ana place it upon a
more solid foundation. With the adop-
ton of the new form of government
along the lines laid down in the Amer
ican constitution, members believe the
order will be strengthened to such an
sextent that it will become, in fact as
we'll as in name, the leading benevolent
organization in the world. BY the
adoption of the proposed new constitu-
tion. three forms of government will
be estabished-execut judicial and
legislative. A new ritual also has
been prepared, which is said to be SO
far superior to the old that there is no
question of it's ultimate adoption. The
entire negro question will be thorough
ly gone over and it is expected that
steps will be taken to attempt to pre-
vent colored organizations from using

Jackson County Kentucky Jury
Acquits Alleged Slayers of
Lawyer Marcum
is DUE TO JEr's CONFESSION
Hi. Reputation of Former Story That
He Was Hired to Kill tho Noted
Kentucky Lawyer, Results in the Ac-
quittaI of Harsis and Callahan, Who
Were Supposed Instigators.

Beattyville, KY, July 17.-The jury
in the Hagis- Callahan trial returned a
verdict of not guilty after being out
minutes. The case was
one of the most desperately fought
battles in the Kentucky court for
years. The men were charged with
the murder of j. B. Marcum.
The verdict of not guilty in the Mar
cum trial is the elimination Of long
and bitter fight in the court in an
to convict James Hargis and
Ed Callahan as chief conspirators in
one of the darkest crimes in Kentucky
history. James B. Marcum was a
mountain republican lawyer of ex-
cellent standing. He was engaged
three years ago as an attorney against
Hargs and Callahan, respectively
democratic county judge and sheriff,
to oust them from office on the allie
CATION of corrupt election. Much bit
terness was aroused and frequent open
ruptures occurred. In May, 1903 Mar
cum was shot and killed at jackson
court house. Curt Jett and Tom White
were convicted, and given life terms
for murder. 1t was charged they We're
tools Of Callahan, Hargis and others.
Jett, after his conviction, confessed
he shot Marcum, and that the act was
inspired by Callahan and Hargis. On
the witness stand, however. he repud-
lated the confession, and said he alone
was responsible. The acquittal fol-
lowed largely on this Reputation. A
jury of Clark county citizens awarded
Mrs. Marcum $4,000 damages year
ago in suit against Hargis, on the
that he caused Marcum to
be killed Hargis and Callahan are
yet to be tried in Lexington court for
killing James Cockriu under similar
circumstances.
