Carrie received your kind invite
To ride and play this Friday night,
And she wants to go so "dretfle" bad
That sending regrets has made her
But on account of the very short DAYS,
And because she lives ia the country

She will have to forego the pleasure to
day,
And in conclusion she begs me to say
She sends kind regards and very best
wishes,
And when eating your goodies" at
least save the dishes"

himself unalterably opposed to a

Chicago Tribune is sending out err

Ii is announced that the mail or.
der houses have quit the field at En-
poria, Kans. Little by little they
have lost ground until now their
business is gone. This remarkable
state Of affairs is explained by a
prominent Emporia merchant who
says that it was caused by Emporia
merchants quoting prices. This
shows that the home merchants can
compete with the mail order houses
if they will quit hiding their light

Why should people always and
forever be in a hurry? There is no
more to be done now than there
was fifty years ago, when our grand
fathers never dreamed they had not
the time to write their own love
letters. The only thing we have to
do now, as then. is to live. This
consists in having enough to eat.
enough to wear, enough to do.
enough to love. We can wear but
one garb at a time, eat only so much,
do only so much. love only so much.
Our great trouble is in the needless
multiplication of subheads. The
great majority of our energy is ex-
pended on flea-bite things which
have no blood relation with our ne
cessities. We waste ninety per cent
of our time and forces on activities
without which we would be just as
happy. just as healthy. and just as
long lived. Above all. it is our gait
that kills US. 1t is not the distance
we go vocably marked out for US
but the pace at which we go it.

MUSLIN WINDOWS NOT GLASS.
Their Use In Dairy Barns May He'll

Their Use In Dairy Barns May Help,
TO Prevent Tuberculosis.
The experiment OF using muslin cur:
tains In place of window glass, which,
has proved 80 successful in poultry
houses all over the country, is now be-
Ing extended to dairy barns.
The problem Of ventilation has long
been one which dairymen have found
difficult to solve. says Suburban Life
The new plan Is the acme of simplicity
Several windows are removed and re-
placed with frames over which CONF
mon muslin cloth has been tightly
stretched.
Experiments have shown that even
In the coolest weather the tempera-
ture OF the stable is lowered only two
or three degrees by the use Of these
curtain windows while the barns actu-
ally have seemed very much warmer.
This result Is due to the fact that the
air Is kept dry.
Where this plan has been adopted the
cattle have shown less evidence Of suf-
ICING AAOM luC COlu duU Tie dtCcuu"
ants have admitted that the barns
have been more comfortable places in
which to work than when the glass
windows were in use. 1t is the excess
OF moisture in the air which causes the
feeling of dampness and chill which
prevails in many dairy barns. Although
the outside air is able to pass through
the muslin, it Is almost impossible for
any one standing three feet away to
detect it's entrance.
1t Is possible that the introduction Of
a system of this kind will do much to
prevent the spread OF tuberculosis
among cattle. Poultrymen have found
that whereas under the old system Of
using glass windows and keeping the
house as warm as possible fowls were
frequently afflicted with colds and SIM
liar troubles, where the muslin curtain
system has been adopted the birds are
much more free from such complaints
and it Is expected by advocates Of the
new system that there will be similar
benefcent results in the case Of dairy
cattle.

for oil in the city limits have opened
an astonishing burning well' from
which flows steady stream of inflam-
mable water that puzzles scientists.
The hole is 1900 feet deep, but not a
trace of oil can be found. The water
is absolutely free from it, but can be
lighted with a match and burns SO
fiercely that it is necessary to turn off
the flow before the flame can be ex-
tinguished. The flame is not ftful,
Pickering one, but good red blaze,
which burns without spluttering.
Not only can the water be lighted at
the mouth of the pipe from which it
flows, but at any point in the ditch
through which it runs. It is mineral
in character and noticeably warm. 1t
smells strongly of sulphur. The casing
of the we'll is seven and five-eighths
inches in diameter and the pressure
behind the water is SO strong that it
will flow over the top of thirty-five

GOVERNOR SOLE JUDGE
0F Conditional PARDONS

Olympia, Dot. 8.-According to an
opinion handed down by the state su-
preme court yesterday, the governor
is authorized to grant q conditional
pardon to convict, and is afterward
the sole Judge as to whether the con
ditions named in thepardon have been
complied with.
The decision was rendered in the
case Of Edward Spencer. appellant,
against Frank KEGS, rs warden OF the
state penitentiary at Walla Walla.
Spencer was granted q conditional
nardon by Gov. Mead in May, 1900,
and year later the governor directed
that he be returned to the penitentiary
for alleged violation of the conditions
named in the pardon. spencer
brought an action for his freedom on
the ground that pardon once grant
ed was absolute, even though termed
conditional.
The court was divided to 8.
