What "Yf" Spells.

A gentleman once received a letter in
which were these words:
"Not finding Brown at home, I deliv-
cred your message to his yf."
The gentleman, finding it bad spell
ing, and therefore not being very in
telligible, called his lady to help him
read it. Between them they picked out
the meaning Of all but the "yf," which
they could not understand. The lady
proposed calling her chambermaid, be-
cause Betty, says she, has the best
knack at reading bad spelling Of any
one know.
Betty came, and was surprised that
neither sir nor madam could tell what
''yf" was.
why" says she, "yf spells wife.
What else can it spell?
: And indeed it is a much better as
we'll as shorter method of spelling
wife than doubleyou, /, eff, e, which in
reality spell doubleyifey.-From a Let

ANOTHER
PARASITE VICTIM

One OF the most stu bborn cases
that the medical profession has
met with for some time is that of
Mr.. Nick Emmerick, of 1874
Louis Avenue, Milwaukee, WIS.
Mr.. Emmerick has been suffer.
ing from what doctors said was
acute stomach trouble, but treat.
ment of the most skilled physi-
clans for that malady had no
effect.
In a recent letter regarding
his strange case, he said: II was
always tired;my stomach bloated
and the slightest exertion made
me sick, weak and dizzy. A good
appetite and a good nights sleep
we're unknown to me. When I
awoke in the mornings I had a
bad taste in my mouth and a
coated tongue. I was quite dis
couraged, but when I heard of
the wonderful benefits that were
being derived in similar cases
from Mr.. Cooper's New Dis
covery medicine, I decided to try
it.
"A horrible tape worm, 60 feet
long, that had been sapping my
life away, passed from my sys-
tenn alive. and squirming after I
had taken three doses of this
medicine.
SHOW I have a splendid appe-
tite, every trace of stomach
trouble has disappeared, my d.
gestion is good, I sleep well and
am gaining 10 strength every
day" .~-.
Cooper's New Discovery, the
remedy that so quickly cured
Mr.. Emmerick and which is cur
ing stomach and kidney trouble,
rheumatism and blood diseases
all over the country, sells for one
dollar per bottle. Cooper's Quick
Relief, the assistant remedy,
costs fifty cents. Both are sold
in this city by Mr.. Cooper's
agent, E. A. Barker.

Romance of Stocking knitter.

many Of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our under

mechanically, was driven to this piece

the lady he loved, who happened to be
a stocking knitter. Enraged at his fail
ure to make an impression on her
heart, he sought to make it on her
purse by killing her means Of liveli-
hood, and one is glad to read that all
stocking makers combined to Illustrate
his cruel purpose, with the result that
he fed with his invention to France,
where he finally died of a broken
heart whether for love Of his lady or

DOCTORS MISTAKES

their family physicians, suffering, as they

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over:

Queer T.imekeepers,

To ascertain the time at night the
Apache Indians employ a gourd on
which the stars of the heavens are
marked. AS the constella tons rise in
the sky the Indian refers to his gourd
and finds out the hour. By turning the
gourd around he can tell the order in
which the consultations may be ex-
pected to appear. The hill people of
Assam reckon time and distance by
the number of guilds of betel nuts
chewed. 1t will be remembered how,
according to Washington Irving, Gov
ernor Wouter van Twiller dismissed
the Dutch colonial assembly invaria-
bly, at the last puff Of his third pipe of
tobacco. A Montagnis Indian of Can
ada will set up tall stick in the snow
when travelling ahead Of friends who
are to follow: He marks with his foot
the line of shadow cast, and by the
change in the angle Of the shadow the
oncoming party can tell on arriving at
the spot about how far ahead the
leader is. Doubtless the first time
keeper was the stomach, which noti-
fed its owner when the hour for a
meal arrived. =

He Made a Mistake,

Into Broadway car stepped man

two vacant seats, and they were on op-

sitting side by side, they were divided.

BY LARGE MAJORITY
TWO-CENT FARE BILL PASSED

Duluth, who did not vote
Several amendments were proposed
to both bills, but they were voted
down, and the bills were passed as
they came from the committee on rail
roads. Senator F. H. Peterson of
Moorhead, the author of both bills, led
the fight and urged the senators to
vote down every amendment.
The 2.cent-rate bill prohibits rail
roads from charging more than cents

passenger over twelve years Of age
and more than l cent mile for pas
sengers under that age, together with
baggage not exceeding $50 pounds in

portant musket shot ever fired in tho
history Of the world. Next comes the
discharge of the mortar fred by Lord
Cochrane during the defense Of Port
Trinidad In 1908. This shot foiled a
French surprise and saved the fortress.
Lastly, there was the single discharge
of grapeshot which saved the fortress
and town Of Haddington in 1913. The
French invaders had actually forced
their way into the outworks of the cas-
tie when the one we'll directed shot

Birds Evolved From Reptiles.

Z 1t may be shock to some persons to
learn that the birds Of the present day
are descendants Of reptiles. This fact
has been conclusively proved by the
fossil remains of creatures that form
the intermediate stages between the
birds Of today and the reptiles Of pre-
historic ages. In fact, many Of the
birds have not yet completed their ev-
olution, as in the case of the penguin,
whose wings are merely rudimentary,
absolutely inadequate for flying pur-
poses and useful only as a means of
propelling these awkward creatures
through the water.
