RAGAN,S HORSE RUNS AWAY,

and Wants to Sell Him.
Health officer Ragan's horse took
fright yesterday while standing in
front of the Health Office on O'Farrell
street, near Scott, and ran off. The
frightened animal went down O'Farrell
street and turned into Pierce, just miss
ing a streetcar as it swung the buggy
around the corner. The horse ran for a
block and then made in direct line
for Dinnigan Bros saloon at the cor
ner of Ellis and Pierce streets. The
animal ran, UP to the entrance of the
drinking place, but slipped and fell be-
fore he could enter it.
Willing hands assisted the horse to
rise and it was returned to the owner
none the worse for his fall. The buggy
was not injured. Now DR.. Ragan is
wondering why the horse stopped at
a saloon in his mad flight Ragan sur
misses that the man from whom he
bought the equine was drinking man
and was in the habit of visiting saloons
while driving the horse. AS Ragan
does not want a horse with that kind
of a reputation he is thinking of sell
ing it to another drinking man.

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves Of
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true, and physicians have records of
great numbers Of cases that add to the
testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,, Register Gazette:
DR.. William Langborst, of Aurora,
has been treating one of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is o. A. Leach, Of Beach
County, and in the last four months he
has doctored with all of the specialists
about the country, and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case is incurabie.
A portion of the optic nerve has been
ruined, rendering his sight so limited
that he is unable to see anything be-
fore him, but he can see plainly any
thing at the side Of him. There have

The Judges First Client.

Judge James J. Banks, the well
known Denver lawyer, is a native OF
the South. 1t was in Birmingham,
Ala, that he hung out his first single.
For a long while Judge Banks sat in
his office and wondered what a law
client looked like. He would read
and study to pass the long hours
away Every time he heard footsteps
in the hall he would straighten up,
assume an air Of knowledge and wait,
only to be disappointed. One day an
old negro woman entered his Office.

whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-

decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
Of coffee for breakfast, two at noon

records Of the specialists Of this coun-
try this is the first case ever caused
by the use of coffee.

makes the case a queer one is that the

Pegged Boots In Canada.

There are few, if any, pegged boots
made in the factories of the United
States, while fifty years ago the sew

nearly all shoes save the hand sewed
were hobnafled or pegged. In Canada
there are a few scattering factories
producing pegged boots for men and

Mr.. Bertsch was interested in the

observance of either divine or human
statutes, has introduced a bill in the
U. S. Senate providing that an appro-
priation should be made to the James
town Exposition only on condition
that the gates should be closed on
Sunday. A resolution looking 10 the
same end has been adopted by the
ministers of the different denomina-

country generally, both "saints and

The San Jose Scale.

Mr.. J. L. Phillips, State entomolo-
gist and plant pathologist at Blacks
burg, is urging fruit growers to fight
the San Jose scale. In an address to
the fruit growers, he says:
AS the time from now until the buds
begin to push out is very short, and
the dormant season is very best time
to spray orchards for the San Jose
scale, we wish to urge you to act at
once.
With very few exceptions, trees in
tested with San Jose scale will die un-
less they are treated.
1t will spread to the orchards near
and destroy them also.
The law requires all infested or
chards to be treated.
If YOU treat the orchards carefully
YOU will be able to check the pest and
keep the trees in good condition.
Treat the entire orchard In which
infested trees are located, for there
NAV be plenty of scale on trees to
breed and injure them badly before
the summer is over, and yet not
enough to show up to any extent at
this time.
The lime sulphur wash is recon-
mended for this purpose, and should
be made as follows:
Secure an iron kettle that will hold
about twenty gallons; place over a
fire and put four to five gallons of
water i'll it. When the water gets
warm, add fifteen pounds of good
quick lime, then, as soon as stacking
begins, stir with a wooden paddle OF
hoe and add fifteen pounds of sulphur.
| Continue to stir briskly so as to mix it
with the lime, and add boiling water
as needed so as to bring the mass into
a thick paste. Stir well while in this
condition and mash all Jumps, then
add five pounds of salt and enough
water to make twelve or fifteen gal
Ions Boil the mixture vigorously for
forty minutes; and then strain into
the spray barrel and add water to
make fifty gallons. The wash will not
affect the scale unless it is we'll cook
ed.
Stir the mixture occasionally while
cooking to prevent it from caking to
the bottom, and add hot water when
necessary to prevent it from boiling
down to a thick mass. This method
of preparation is suited to small or
chards. A more complete outfit viii
be necessary if a large orchard is tC
be treated.
Either cold or hot water may be
used in diluting the mixture, after i
has finished cooking, and it is better
to put part of the water into the
spray barrel and pour the lime-sulphul
mixture into it. Spray this mixture
on the tress so thoroughly as to Goa
every part fully. For further informa
ton see Bulletin 141, or address the

with them in the opinion, that the
chances are favorable for a Demo

the ranks of the Republicans and to
guide his party to victory. He takes
that view and is already in the tight
