A Trite Saying.

It is a trite saying that no man Is
stronger than his stomach. DIR. Pierce'S
Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
the stomach-puts it in shape to make
pure, rich blood-helps the liver and
kidneys to expel the posons from the
body and thus cures both liver and kid
ney troubles. If you take this natural
blood purifier and tonic, you will assist
your system in manufacturing each day
a pint of rich, red blood, that is invigo-
rating to the brain and nerves. The
weak, nervous, run down, debilitated
condition which so many people suffer
from, is usually the effect of poisons in
the blood; it is often indies ted by pimples
or boils appearing on thy skin, the face
becomes thin and the feelings ublue"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Some people are simply acting nat
ural when they are kicking.
Do the right thing by all of your
friends, and you haven't anything but
the core of the apple left.
People with real troubles do not care
as much for sympathy as they do to
have their trials as inconspicuous as
possible.
When a man says that he has not q
friend in the town where he lives you
can depend on it that the town is not
to blame.
Don't forget that your actions are
measured as critically all through life
as is the borrowed butter you return
to neighbor.
With all due consideration for the
sober second thought, we notice that
the longer we aim the more liable we
are to miss the mark.-Atchison Globe.

"Home. Sweet Home.o

Home, Sweet Home" Payne's song,
was originally a number in the opera
"Clari, the Maid of Milan" a produc-
ton brought out in 1923. The opera
was a failure, and nothing is now
known Of it save the one song, which
became instantly popular. Over 100,-
900 copies were sold in the first year
Of its publication, and the sale in one
form or another has been constant
ever since the first appearance of this
beautiful theme. The melody is q
Sicilian folk song and was adapted to
the words by Payne himself

A CHlMNEY-SWIFT'S NEST.
It Is Made Of Small Twigs Fastened
Securely Together with the
Birds Saliva.

One morning late in June l
climbed to the top of our house
to look around the country, re-
lates Russell NJ. Coryell, in St.Nich-
olas. l had not been there long
when l felt a rush of air on my
head and l saw a chimney-swift,
improperly called a chimney-swal-
low, flying away for another
swOop at me. then realized that
| must be near its nest, and look
ing down a chimney near by, l
saw, after my eyes had become
used to the light, a nest within
three feet of the top with five pure
white eggs about half an inch
long in it. 1t was the first time |
had ever known chimney-swift to
build so near the top of chimney,
for it usually builds some few feet
down where there is a bend which
keeps out the rain that would
soften the glue with which the nest
is held together.
l thought it would be interest
ing to take picture of the nest,
and this being such a good chance,
l did so, much to the dislike of the
birds, who kept making swoops
at me.
The nest of a chimney-swift is
not made, like that of most birds,
of hair, leaves or grass, but of
small twigs which the swift gath
ers while flying, and which are
stuck together with the birds sa-
Iva, which is glutinous.
1t is very interesting to watch a
swift, which is remarkably good
flyer. 1t never seems to tire and
never rests except when it is on
the nest. 1t is on the wing all the
day and is said sometimes to fly a
thousand miles in "a hours. Chin.
ney swifts are good friends of the
insurance companies because they
knock the SCOT down and make it
less easy for the chimney to catch
fire.

WHEN GAS WAS NEW.
President of First Company Made
Daring" Experiment.

"Daring" Experiment.
Gas had as much difficulty in making
its way in New York city apparently
as did the steel framed skyscraper. In
each case it required a man who had
the courage of his convictions to prove
that it was safe, but when once it was
shown that the benefits were greater
than the dangers gas and skyscrapers
took their places as necessities. In the
case of the skyscraper the designer had
to convince the owner, who had be-
come somewhat fearful Of the success
of his venture because of the COM
ments of his friends, by signing lease
for an Office on the top floor for a
long term of years. In the case of gas,
although it had been used in London
and other American cities before it
was introduced into New York, Sam
uel Leggett, the president of the COM
pany that proposed to bring the much
feared illuminant into use here, had to
prove its harmlessness in his own
house. This was in 1923.
His heroism attracted a good deal of
attention and proved to be good ad-
vertisement, for hundreds if not thou
sands of persons visited the house to
see the illuminant which was said to be
so much better than candles and fish
oil lamps. The house was in the up
town fashionable quarter of the city,
on Cherry hill. 1t was at Cherry
street, only few doors below the big,
square Franklin House, in which Pres
| ident Washington lived when New
York was the capital, and near the eel
ebrated Cherry gardens. 1t was a mar
row, three story and attic brick struc-
ture with two dOrmer windows. An
abutment of the Brooklyn bridge now
occupies the site.
Stories of the explosive character of
gas had spread without the aid Of a
press agent, and persons hesitated
their houses. They were willing to
| have some one else make the expert
ment, however, and curious enough to
| visit the house of the venturesome one
to see what happened. For the time
being all roads in the evening seemed
to lead to Mr.. Leggett's house Groups
| gathered outside in the darkened street
to witness the process of lighting up
Many couple from the other fashion
able quarter, State street and the foot
Of Broadway, gave up the evening walk
along the Battery to wend their way
up Pearl street in the moonlight to Z
Cherry street to see the novelty. There
were eager visitors from surrounding
towns. Mr.. Leggett was not averse to
showing people how much better gas
was than any other form Of illuminant
by taking them through the house.
This fact, becoming known through
out the city, added to the number of
visitors, and not infrequently when
Mr. Leggett, basking in the light of no.
toriety in his drawing room, saw faces
peering in at him from the outer dark
ness he would go to the door and in
vite those without to come in. 1t was
several years before the prejudice
against gas could be altogether wiped
out.-New York Tribune.

Arab steeds as Churns.

The noble Arabian steed is some
times put to ignoble uses. A traveller
with iconoclastic ideas said: "You have
heard Of the Arabian horses beauty, its
docility, its intelligence, It's endurance.
Did you know that it churned the
family butter? Among the desert tribes
when butter is needed the milk is put
in q sheepszin bag and tied by short
rope to the horses saddle. The horse
Is then urged into a trot, and this gait
is kept up until the milk in the sheep
skin is joggled into butter. A fine,
firm, smooth butter it is"

The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1906-06-22

Forks July 81 and Aug. /, and 8,
will be the Pelissier Wild West Show,
which the management has been very
fortunate in securing, and which will
alone be we'll worth a visit to the
fair. The aggregation is similar in
many respects to Buaftlo Bills Wild
West Show which has delighted so
many spectators in every corner of the
globe. Some of the actors were with
Buffalo Bill for years and the show
boasts some of the most and skillful
"cow boys'' in the world. Many Of
their feats are marvellous beyond des-
cription, as was most entertaining
One of the horses in the show is the
noted Spear fish, now in his twenty
eighth year, and at one time owned by
President Roosevelt, when he was
owner Of the Maltese Cross ranch.
Wherever the show had exhibited, it
has met with an enthusiastic recpetion
and is receiving favorable comment
everywhere. The show will be one
of the daily attractions of the exposi
tion and several performances including
scores of features of the greatest in
terest will be given daily.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1906-06-22

The record Of the Bottfneati baseball
team this season has been quite en-
couraging, all things considered. The
team organized little late in the sea-
son and has only two hired players.
Ed Schmitt, the catcher and James
Lake, pitcher. John J.. Murphy is
doing some of the twiring and is
putting up a good brand Of speedy
curves. The team has so far had
only five games, in several of which
they went up against hired players,
and Bottineau has won three out of
five. This is certainly enough success
to warrant our citizens in giving the
boys all the enco ragement they can.
Get out to the games ard aid the team
by your presence and we will come
out of this season with better results
than perhaps the most sanguine have
hoped fol. Everybody ought to boost
the base ball boys
