fire extends to great height, and since
the beginning wild ducks have played
the game Of the moth and flame, much
to their sorrow and distress. No sooner
does a duck fly across the forbidden
territory than it is caught on and bak-
ed by the torrid winds. The neighbors
have caught on to the fact, and near

Gives Views on Government Of District
of Columbia.

Washington, April 10.-Notwith-
standing that this was district day in
the house and that body resolved itself
into a common council for the purpose
of making laws for the District of Col
umbia, general interest was shown in
the bills requiring nonresident pupils
to pay tuition, and regulation of the
employment of child labor.
Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa, replying to
long speech of Mr.. Sims. of Tennessee,
in which he advocated government
of the people of the District of Column
bia made a defense of the form OF
government, but criticized the admin
istration. He did not think the two
newspaper men and one army officer,
who constitute the board of commits
sioners' the proper personnel for such a
government. While he admired the
oratorical powers of newspaper men
on the board he thought it would be
better for them to improve the city
streets than make speeches.

NERVOUS WRECKS
Are Made Well by a New Cure.

Those who have been treated by not
ed nerve specialists write that all
treatment failed until they used DR..
Wheelers Nerve Vitalizer and were
cured. 1t is against the policy of most
physicians to recommend other rene
dies than their own, but sometimes
there are found those predetermined
enough to throw aside prejudice and
be honest with the sick, and advise
their patients to take Wheeler's Nerve
Nitalizer, which they know will cure
surely, quickly and permanently.
There is positively no case of ner-
vous disease, no matter how severe or
how long standing, that cannot be cur
ed by this medicine. The celebrated
Dr. DeNike says it has no equal.

A California judge told the following
story: Montana Jack, a highwayman
I prosecuted and convicted while l was
district attorney, was a great humor-
ist. The day he received his sentence
the judge asked him whether he had
anything to say against sentence being
passed upon him. Jack admitted that
he had no protest to make, but that he
would like to say a few words to the
young men in the courtroom. Consent
was given, and Jack spoke as follows:
"'Boys, my advice to YOU is to stick
to whatever you are dom. Don't
change your occupation OF you'll never
get along in the world. Look at me.
l was Il successful burglar for years,
