An ingenious trap for catching tigers
and large black panthcrs is used By the
natives Of an isolated part of Indo-
China. \ short length OF Il tree log is
followed out. and around each end of
it are driven long sharp spikes SO as to
project inward. leaving an opening of
about six inches. Through small
trapdoor a pariah dog or n pig is placed
in the log for bait and the trap left for
future developments. The tiger or
panther easily pushes in his paw to Sc
cure the bait, but when he tries to

JOY At THE WATSON HOME
NINE POUND BABY GLADDENS
CONGRESSMAN'S HEART.
Shakes Hand AS Never Before and
Gives Out Ten Cent Cigars in
Abundance.

Rushville, Ind, Feb. 25.-As
"Jim" Watson, Republican "whip'
of the House, walked down the street
in this city Friday evening his
friends were astonished to see him
reach around behind his back with
his right hand, and grasping it with
his left, give it a hearty shake. Then
the reason for the self-congratula-
tory movement dawned on his friends
and in reply to inquiries, Watson,
with a smile that spread from ear to
ear, said:
eyes, it's a girl, and I'm tickled
nearly to death. Come around to the
Office, boys, and We'll smoke 1O-cent
cigars. You must smoke on my girl
and one on me. You have something
coming from me, you know, for |
have been renominated.'
The new addition to the Watson
family increases the number of chill
dren to three. The other two are
boys, one, Edwin, age eleven and the
other, James, Jr., age eight. Three
years ago last November Mr.. and
Mrs. Watson buried their little two
year-old daughter, Lorrine, and it is
because of this that they are rejoic-
ing that the new arrival is girl. The
new girls weighs nine pounds.

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of q
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
Whata disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before q year passes over
her head! A sickly. half
dead-and-alive WON . n,
especially when she il
tho mother of q family,
Is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and q
drag upon her husband.
The cost of Z wife's con-
slant illness Is q serious
drain upon the funds of q

household, and too often all the doc
toring does no good.
If a woman finds her energies are
tagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams if she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness Irregularities. or dependency, she
should take means to build her system
up at once by a tonic with specific
powers. such as Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of womans health.
Following we publish. by request, a
letter from young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, of GIL South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Ever since my child was born have suf-
fered, as hope few women ever have, with
Inflammation female weakness, bearing down
palms, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so that could not en-
joy my meals, and half my time was spent
in bed.

Winter Egg-Laying Contest.

Consul Daniels reports from Shefiield 4
novel egg-laying competition at the Lady
Warwicks Ladies' Agricultural College.
The conclusions reached are that breed does
not govern, so much as the laying strain or
families of breed highly developed as egg
producers. The pen of four buff Orpingtons
led from October 10 to November 10 by
producing forty-nine eggs. and again No
vember I6 TO December 16 with 120 eggs.

the little help II is TO birds to be what
show enthusiasts call beautifully marked"

laugh at, that have the biggest total of eggs

Is not that it's father was the winner of

mother were wonderful layers, and that its

TO OPEN HARVARD STREET.
Provisional Approval Of Plan by Com
srlissioners

Provisional approval OF the plan to open
Harvard street from its present terminus.
about 15e feet east of 18th street. to 10th
street. Is indicated in report which the
Commissioners have prepared upon the bill
introduced In the House February 13 by
Representative Sheriey. The bill itself.
the report AYERS, is not In good form. and
substitute has been drafted. To ac-
complish the extension as far as 10th street,
1t is stated, the amount OF land to be taken
would total 70. TO square feet. at an esti-
mated cost of s27eoO The Commissioners
think that the extension as far as 18th
street is the most necessary part of the
whole, and this they characterize as so
entirely local benefit that they recon-
mend that the bill be amended so that the
cost may be assessed as benefit against
abutting property. The extension as far as
10Th street can be accomplished. 1t Is esti-
mated. at a cost of $4,000.
The need for further opening Harvard
street as far as 18th street, however. is not
deemed so great because Columbia road
and Euclid street, each a short distance
away, afford convenient access between
I4th and 10th streets both to surrounding
property and to the general public.
The necessity for this part of the extern
sion is not believed sufficient to justify the
expenditure al public expense at this time,
the Commissioners declare. They add the
following statement: III the legislation Is
property to bear the cost, the extension Is
a desirable one and can be made more
eheaply at this time than at a subsequent
time on account of the increasing value or
land In the neighborhood and the possibility
that the lots may be built upon.

inadequate impression OF occurrences in the
Congo country and says the commission left
untouched the main root OF the evil the

that the atrocities and general oppression
continue, that several missiona ries from
the interior testify to this and that practi-
cally no attempts have been made to
change the old regime The petition adds.
We earnestly protest against this con-
tinued disregard OF all the appeals and
evidence laid before the authorities.

the repeated refusal to sell sites for mission
stations to our societies, contrary to the
provisions of the general act of the con-
ference of Berlin"
