A certain young man took his best
girl to the theater. During tLJ evening
she complained OF not feeling well, and
they left before the show was over.
He took her home, and when he said
good night the girl was pretty sick.
Next day It turned out that she had
diphtheria. Then the young man began
to wonder If he was booked for a siege
with the disease too. He called on a
physician he knew to ask about it.
The physician heard the young mans
tale. well" said he at the conclusion
Of It, Il think your chances to catch
the disease depend on how you said

Then he said: Doctor, I'm much oblig-

later he stuck his head in the door.

A Monster Rodent.

The Brazilian capybara is a large.
stoutly built rodent. Imagine a rat
weighing 2SO pounds with huge head,
an upper lip foot long and close set
eyes and one has an idea Of the beast.
He is the largest Of the rodent tribe
and has harsh. coarse hair, more like
bristles than fur. This hair is mixed
black and yellow, Of dingy appearance.
In his native haunts the capybara has
huge. fat stomach which almost
drags on the ground. He is a water
loving animal and can dive and stay
under for eight or ten minutes at d
time. The jaguar Of South America
preys upon the capybara. and the In
dams kill him for his flesh, which
when smoked is said to be as delicious
as Kentucky ham. although it has a

D0ubly Surprised.

Editor Argus:
Last Friday evening we were com
pletely surprised by company of
friends rushing in upon us. The
first embarrassment was that we had
not room to. entertain so many and
and next that we had not where to
store the goods they brought.
We had few songs and |
thought had sufficiently recovered
from the shock TO make "speech
of thanks" when another company,
in some respects hargey than the
first, came rushing in. Immediately
the Speech" left me and has not
yet returned. Let 1t go. Better
things came. Many who could not
come sent their "regrets," which in
the aggregate contained nice sum
Of money.
God bless these good people of
Kingwood and make us a blessing
to the town.
Mrs. Dever is more grateful than
i, but that is due to the fineness of
nature. Sincerely,
GEo. B DEvER.

DEATH RECORD.
j. w. Fraser.

The many friends and relatives
of the late J. w. Fraser were sorry
to hear of his death which occurred
at his home at Redwood Falls,
Minn., on Tuesday, November a6.
Mr.. Fraser was born IN Taylor
county, Va, in 1860, on the eve of
the great civil war, at the close OF
which conflict his father died from
the exposure In the Union army.
From his early 5oyhood young
Fraser became acquainted with toll
and hardship. With the determine.
tion of becoming the ''architcct of
his own fortune" he went west at
the age Of II and made his home
with his, grandfather in Iowa for
three years. In 1879 he removed
to Redwood county, Mimi, and
took up quarter section home.
stead after which he added more
land adjoing the tract. Some time
after his removal to Minnesota he
returned to West Virginia to visit
relatives and on ths trip he Incl
dentally made the acquaintance of
the young lady, Miss Hattie
Kodehaver, who in 1887 became
his wife. Mr.. Fraser was an active
partner IN the development of some
coal deposits near Redwood Falls,
but the output was found TO he of
no value commercially as fuel and
the enterprise was given up after
much labor and capital were ex-
pended. Two years prior to his
death Mr.. Fraser removed, on a
twenty y'five acre tract Of land on
the outskirts OF Redwood Falls,
where, with the industrious help OF
his family, he prospered financially.
Ills death came after about IS years
struggle with disease that at first
manifested itself az n fever sore on
one of his limbs and finally resulted
in chronic assesses with a compli-
cation of liver and stomach trouble.
n month or more before his death
he came TO Markleysburg,lPa., and
visited his sister-in law, Mrs. Amzi
Miller, with hopes of regaining his
health, but after a stay OF a couple
weeks he returned to his home, and
death came soon afterwards.
Mr.. Fraser is survived by a
widow, three daughter and son.
lie was one of the founders of the
Presbyterian church at Vesta, Mimi,
where he once lived and was known
as citizen of integrity aud high
respectability.

The Democrats 10 win, therefore,
require 10 votes from the doubtful

lucky, Maryland. and Missouri are
also doubtful, but believe their
strong Democratic leanings will

present political conditions and past
Affiliations you must select Dela

In the event Of the Republican fac

Democrats to carry Minnesota,
Nofih Dakota, and Wisconsin with
rheir large Scandinavian vote. by
nominating Gov. Johnson, of Min
nesots, who is of scandinavian de-
scent, which IS one of the causes of
his election and reelection as gov.
ernor. He would perhaps unite the
warring Democratic factions in the
other doubtful states as well as any
man that could be named. But the
ardent followers Of Mr.. Bryan will
ask why he cannot carry Nebraska
and have as good a chance of carry
ing the states Of the northwest with
the large scandinavian population
as Gov. Johnson would have. Un.
fortunately for Mr.. Bryan the cleo
tion figures in 1900 do not give
reason TO hope that he could. With
complete fusion in 1900 he lost Ne

South Dakota by 1896 and

II IS impossible from the vote
cast in recent elections in the
doubtful states to see how Mr..
Bryan can be elected. This forces
