Memento for President piaz.

With simple but impressive cere-
moHy President Diaz was presented
with the military painting portraying
the action of his command in the bat
tie of Puebla against the French
forces in the war of the invasion.
The painting, which was the work of
the artist Francisco de P. Mendoza, a
professor in the national school of fine
arts and of the military college, was
executed at the request of the gov
ernors of u Mexican states, and was
presented as a personal gift to the
chief magistrate. The painting repre-
sents Gen. Diaz in action in the glo-
rious battle which won fame for the
Mexican forces, and at the moment
when the forces under the direct
command of Gen. Diaz saved the day.

Keen Good Horses.

We know a farmer who has over
$1,000 invested in old plug horses.
Ringbones, spavins, wire cuts, curbs
and blemishes are noticeable. He has
ten head and none of them can be de
pended on for a decent days work. He
has a neighbor who has three horses,
free from blemishes, which cost him
$500, but with these three horses he
can do more work in a season on a
third of the feed than the man who
has ten head. At the present price
of feed, a horse. is not worth keeping
unless he is a good one and able to
do lots of hard work.

PAT SET ONLY ONE LIMrr.

A rich man out in the suburbs who
owns a large place has among the
many people employed to keep it in
shape an Irishman Of whom he is par
ticularly fond on account of his I'M
conscious wit, says Harper's Weekly.
This Irishman is something of a hard
drinker, and, as his income is limited
he is more particular as regards the
quantity than the quality of his
liquids. The other day the employer,
who had been awaiting a good oppor-
tunity, remarked in a kind tone, as
the closing sentence of a friendly lee
ture:
Now, Pat, how long do you think
you can keep on drinking this cheap
whiskey?"

BANsHEE OR DEATH WRATH.
This is One of the Oldest and Most
Respectable Ghosts.

One of the oldest and most respect
able types of ghost is the bansheer
which may be regarded as a near rela'
tive of the death wrath" inasmuch
as it gives warning of impending
death by uttering lamentable walls,
says Lippincott's. Some families take
great pride in the possession Of such
"spooks," a good example of which is
described by Mrs. Levey of z Castle
terrace, London. who writes: THE
night when my mother lay dying was
one of great pain. At about nine
o'clock there came a fearful wall of a
womans voice. as If swaying to and
fro past the windows. / ran to the
window, but no human being could
up and no houses near She died at
1890 D. m. My father and family sat
at dinner on the evening of February
4, 1868, when the same fearful cry
or wall filed our house. At eight
o'clock next morning my youngest
brother died quite suddenly. The
same thing happened on my fathers
death in 1887; likewise on the death
of my sister in 1889, and on the death
of another brother in 1890" This
banshee seems to have been rather
out of place in London, such wailing
ghosts (Which are not seen and can
snot therefore be properly termed ap-
paritions) being especially domesti-
rated in Ireland, where they are usual
qy associated with dilapidated castles
Rnd an impoverished and long-de-
Seconded gentry.

Old Seed Corn.

An extensive corn grower asks
whether we would advise planting
seed corn two years old, and which
now terminates "a per cent. BY all
means, yes, replies Indiana Farmer. It
is safer to risk that two-year-old seed
than seed of 1906, which might show
a termination of IS per cent. The
old seed will be more vigorous, but it
will require more moisture to start

me Earmer,s Income.

One of our exchanges says that
1000 net income on the farm is bet
ter than an income of $4,000 in the
city. OF course many of our read
ers will not believe this, but it is true,
nevertheless, The man who has $1,000
clear on the farm after all expenses
are paid had better not change places
with the city man whose total income
does not exceed $4,000 and out of
which he has to pay all expenses.

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Fed
Blood and Performs Wonders as
Tonic for the Nerves.

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Fed
Blood and Performs Wonders as q
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
{ body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
( able, aiing people into strong, energetic,
/ forceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, Of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, saws:
=" 1 had never been well from child
hood and a few years ago began to

paralysis and was on the verge of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia
set IN and affected the side of my face.
