CAUGHT ON THE WING

, Here is something the stroller
was told that seems to tfill q long
J felt want for the lawn mower
owner. The mower soon be-
comes Gull and does not do good
work. When such isthe case pro.
cure five cents worth of emery
dust. Mix the same with oil tc
the consistency of thick paste.
Then take the drive wheel and
small gear wheel off each side
of your mower and put them on
the opposite side. This reverses
the turning of the blades so that
lby turning your mower over
they will run backwards. Now
place small amount of the en-
&, cry paste on the lower blade, re-
verse the machine and run for a
few moments. Repeat this two
or three times until by feeling of
the edges of the blades you find
they have a good sharp edge.
This excells the filing and grind
ing process and is far better in
that each blade is ground to fit
the lower blade and the two
edges meet the full length.
George Lassall of Ortley was a
Milbank visitor Saturday.
When asked regarding the new
town where he lives. he replied.
"Why, there isn't q town with
better prospects than Ortley.
We are all plugging for Ortley
and are building as fast as ma
terial and help can be procured.
Yes, sir, Ortley is all right, don't
let that fact slip your mind.
Just come up and see US. We
will show you something that
will surprise you. The railway
has about eighty men at work at
the sand pit who are all spending
money in the town. The first To-
cal freight was unloaded at Ort-
ley last Friday by Conductor
Glen. Edison. 1t was addressed
to G. E. Anderson & Co., mer-
cants."
Friday evening of last week
the people in the neighborhood
of the Evangelical church were
startled by the sudden starting
up of number of voices, evi-
IDENTIFY crier of a circus, call
ing to people to come and see the
wild man, rarer far than any
Barnum ever dared to claim to
have in his possession and guar
ranteed to be the genuine article.
Come! come! See the slide for
life which also far exceeded
anything ever seen in Milbank.
Many other interesting things
too numerous to mention were
named. A few followed the
criers tc their des tination which
was just back of the L. H. Bent
ley home. True there was to be
a circus, side show. slide for
life from the windmill tower; the
wild man was Ghere and many
other interesting features
and curiosities. Everyone pre-
sent seemed we'll pleased with
the attraction and promised the
management to attend should
they again favor Mllbank with
their show next year. Leaving
all joking aside the boys hard
work during the day to get up a
circus was very commendable.
One thing was very evident and
that is if footing your own horn
and knowing how to attract peo-
Piles attention will win, then
majority of the Milbank boys
will be grand success before
they reach two score years, for
they certainly had the "spieling
act" down to perfection.

To be such successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Ever since my child was born have suf-
fered as hopefew women ever have, with in
fianmation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so l could not enjoy my
meals and half my time was spent in bed.
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
made me well woman, and / feel so grateful
that am glad to write and tell you of my
marvellous recovery 1t brought me health,
new life and vitality Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
Gil South 10th Street. Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un-
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e PinlSham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

and you have p be pulled out OF a

I always thought in reading of rail-
road accidents, that the railroad sent
out a special trainload of doctors and
nurses, to care for the injured, but the
special train never has a doctor until
the lawyers give first aid to the
wounded in the way of financial poul-
tees for the cripples. People in our
business are on the railroads, and we
work them for all there is in it; and
the man that is hurt the least makes
the biggest howl, and gets the biggest
elice of indemnity. Some circus peo-
pie spend all their salary as they so
along, and live all winter on the dam
ages they get from the railroads when
the wreck comes.
The night of the wreck our train
was whooping along at about 80 miles

THE INTEGRITY OF CHINA.
Celestial Empire May Possibly Pass
Through Egypt's Expe-
rienceS.

In the preamble of the new treaty be.
tween Great Britain and Japan it is rep
resented that one of it's objects is the
preservation of the independence and in
tegrity of the Chinese empire. To &C.
complish this end the two powers agree
to cooperate, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. There is something ana
logous in this agreement to the dual con-
troll which England and France estaE~
lished over the finances Of Egypt with
the consent of the European powers,
owing to the mismanagement and ex-
travagances of Ismail pasta, who had
been forced to abdicate in favor of his
son, the present khedive, and the belief
that the Egyptians were incapable OF
managing their own affairs, which waJ
undoubtedly true. But this assumption
of dual control of the Egyptian
finances resulted ultimately in the
British occupation of the country,
through the backing out of France
when it became necessary to en-
ploy military force to restore order,
and it's conversion practically after
ward into British province.
There can be no reasonable doubt
that Japan is quite as DESTROYS of eX-
plotting China as Britain was of
dominating Africa when she acquired
control of the Suez canal, and under
took the conquest of the Soudan.
Japan has footing in China already,
and, under the terms of the treaty
o. peace with Russia, rretext for re.
naming in that part of Manchuria
now in her military possession for a
period of Is months after the ratifca-
ton of the convention. China evil
IDENTIFY understands the ambitions OF
her enterprising and adventurous
neighbor. She does not welcome
the prospect of either japan or
Russia making a protracted stay
on her soil. but Japan has set
herself up as China's protector, just
as England did in Egypt and the op-
portunity may present itself for her
20 manifest Ter intention to continue
the protectorate, if need be, by the ex
ercise of force, as the British entered
On the permanent protectorate OF
Egypt through the bombardment OF
Alexandra. The analogy may, at that
point in the history of events, be
strengthened by the refusal Of Eng
land to cooperate with Japan in as.
inning control of China's affairs or
the occupation of Ter territory, as
France declined &c take part in the
Egyptian campaign. China's inca
pacity for self-Sovernment is 50 con.
spicuous, and official dishonesty is so
rampant, that it would doubtless be
boon 10 the country should the man.
agement of its affairs pass under Jap
anese control, for they are likely, in
such al event, to administer the gov.
eminent honestly in self-intarest.

were got out of our cGr, and they
let it burn. to light up the scene, and
pa and and the boss canvasman went
along the ditched train, and helped
people out. The giant was in two
upper berths, and he got one leg cut
of the transom over one berth, and one
leg out of the transom over the other
berth, and we pulled his legs, but he
couldn't make it, so pa took the ak

us off his hay field for trespass, and
yelled: Here's a head of some of
your performers cut off away over
here,'' and he was going to bring it in,
when the farmer found the head was
alive, and he ran away from it.
In an hour we had everybody out,
and made beds for them by spreading
