REAL CAUSE FOR GLADNEss.
How Young Lawyer Carried Comfort
to Convicted Client.

An amusing story is told by Har-
per's Weekly at the expense of a
prominent Baltimore lawyer, who, like
most young attorneys, got his first
case by assignment from the bench.
His client had been indicted for muir
der, and his conviction was a fore
gone conclusion, as his guilt was I'M
questionable.
The result of the trial was a SEN
tence to be hanged; but the man
made an appeal to the governor for a
pardon and was anxiously awaiting a
reply thereto when his lawyer visited
him in his cell.
81 got good news for you-very
good news!" the young lawyer said,
grasping the mans hand.
did the governors it a pardon?''
the man exclaimed joyously.

WAS WILLING TO FORGET.
Young Man Bore No Grudqe Against
Proposed Father-in-LaW.

That the young fellow had grit was
evident from the fact that his busi-
ness, from nothing, had in a few years
begun to bring in a fairish income. He
made up his mind to get married. The
girl-although the daughter of a
pompous country acknowledged
with him; but the father did not see
things in the same light
What! You?" he yelled, angrily.
"You want to marry my daughter!
Why, it is only few years since you
were caddying for me-"
That's true!" interrupted the young
man, "but l don't intend to let that
stand in the way. The language you
then used was certainly a trif1e-say
blue-tinted; but then you were under
the influence of disappointment. After
all, you know, a very bad golfer may
make a very good father-in-law. Any
how, I'm going to give you chance"

SKIM MINGS.

A farmer that has a well-kept dairy
of good COWS is in a position to make
a certain living.
1t takes capital to run any business.
but the best capital creamery can
have is plenty of raw material.
All flesh that the COW puts on when
dry becomes a deposit which will
be drawn out in an increased yield
of milk.
The Texas Farmer says: Those who
expect to lead in the dairy business
often find someone crowding them for
the same honor
Are you taking good care of the
straw piles that the COWS may have a
comfortable bed to sleep on during
the coming winter?
Dairying is a science that is being
more thoroughly studied to-day than
ever before. 1t has in it great deal
more than most people dream of.
Milk will command high prices this
winter; perhaps higher than it has
been for many years. Hence while put
ting away supply of feed don't fail
to get plenty.

WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared?

What comfort to find it is not "the
awful thing feared, but only chronic
indigestion, which proper food can re-
lieve.
A woman in Ohio says:
Il was troubled for years with indi-
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times / would have such a gnawing
in my stomach that I actually feared
/ had al dislike to write or even
think of what 1 feared.
Seeing an account Of Grape-Nuts
I decided to try it. After a short time
was satisfied the trouble was not
the awful thing I feared but was still
bad enough. However, I was relieved
of bad case of dyspepsia by chang
Ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
"Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a clock. 1 had also
noticed before I began to eat Grape
Nuts that 1 was becoming forgetful Of
where 1 put little things about the
house, which was very annoying.
But since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape
Nuts, my memory is good and my

labor, says the Farm and Home.
A little carrier suspended from an
overhead track runs behind the cows
and to a small shed just outside the
barn under which is the manure
Bpreader The carrier takes the ma
nure from the stable and dumps it
in the spreader which stands on a
cement foundation that catches and
holds the liquid. BY having water
tight gutter behind the COWS and using
plenty of straw for bedding all of the
liquids are saved and returned to the
land.

A Girls GiqqIe.

Samuel Shadwell, a touchy old man
living in an Indiana village, had a
pane of glass broken in his house one
night not long ago and next day he
had a ten-year-old girl named Minnie
Dayton arrested for it.
When the case was called in court
he was asked how he knew it was
Minnie He admitted that he didn't
see her, but heard her giggle. When
asked if her giggle was different from
that of any other girl he said it was,
but he couldn't tell why. Neither
could he initiate the giggle, and he
lost his case.
We all know what girls giggle is,
but if any of us were asked to give an
imitation of it we'd probably fail. A
boy may litter, but when it comes to
giggling only a girl can do that

GOOD PASTURES.
Old World Countries Can Teach the
American Farmer Many Lessons.

May the day come when the pas
lures on the American farm will be
as carefully taken care of as they are
in some of the older dairy countries
Of the world There is no doubt that
the pasture is now one of the best
paying parts of the farm, even with
its neglect, and it can be far more
profitable if it is made to produce as
much as it should produce What is
more beautiful than a sunny pasture
in which the grass is fine and thick
and the sod is so deep and compact
that it is difficult to dig down to the
naked soil
The COWS luXuriate in such a pas
ture. They do their own harvesting of
the crop, and this is one of the items
of profit not generally thought of.
The better pasture the more of a crop
there is for the cows to harvest. The
question of the pasturage has not yet
been deeply studied by the American
farmer. He has slurred over it, as is
seen by the conditions of our pastures
almost everywhere.
Recently the writer of this was
driving through some of the best
farming land of Illinois. AS he came
to a beautifully placed and beautifully
kept farm, the driver said to him:
1.-THE man that owns this farm always
has things in beautiful condition.
Nothing is ever lying about. The
fences are up and the trees, shrubs
and flowers are in proper trim. The
owner is worth $150,000, and he and
his wife have made it together"
1t was indeed beautiful place and
the two-story farm house was in keep
ing with the rest. 1t showed that the
occupants had artists souls. But the
writer was compelled to remark to
the driver. "The one drawback is the
pasture, which is eaten down to the
ground"
Here was an illustration of the
habit that has taken hold of the
frmer. that of neglecting his pasture.
If it is free from stones and stumps
and is not tramped into mire in any
place it is thought to be good enough.
In the case of the man referred to,
the pasture could have been made
as perfect and beautiful as was the
rest of the farm. The chief reason
for its not being so lay in the mere
fact that his conception of what a
pasture should be was as low as that
Of most Of our farmers, whether they
live in New England or in the prairies
of the west.

MAKES A SPLENDID SHOWING.
Missouri Pacific's Gross Earnings In
crease, and Expenses Decrease.

The Missouri Pacific system (includ-
Southern and the Central Branch)
operated last year for 66.8 per cent,
as against a ratio of 679 per cent.
in the preceding year, which, on its
face, is a very creditable showing,
and which improves upon examina-,
ton. Gross earnings were $48, ,342,
the largest in the history of the COM
pany; net earnings were SIC, 1S8,272.
To net earnings add $3,2S3,282 other
income, and the total available income
is $19,471, 555, of which taxes, inter
est on funded debt and equipment
trust obligations, and sundry other
charges consumed CO.'S per cent, or
$11, 773,452. The s7,698,103 remainder
equaled SO per cent. on the outstand-
ing $77,S17,S75 capital stock
That this result was not obtained at
the expense of the property is shown
by the following percentages: Gross
earnings increased 9.3 per cent; ex-
penditures for maintenance of equip,
ment increased 81 per cent; expendi-
lures for maintenance of way and
structures increased 9.S per cent; the
cost of conducting transportation in
creased &c per cent; general ex-
penses increased II per cent. The
secret of the company's showing is in
the small increase in the cost of con-
Quoting transportation. Expenditures
for maintenance increased in greater
ratio than gross earnings, but as
against an increase of 9.3 per cent in
gross earnings is an increase of but
&c per cent. in the cost of conduct
ing transportation.
There is obviously nothing in the
showing made by the company for the
last fiscal year to account for the fact
that the stock is selling at the lowest
price since 1900, when it was nom
dividend bearing security. 1t has
earned and paid its per cent. year
since then. The price of the stock
must be supposed to be due, partly, to
financial conditions affecting all Sc,
curities, and partly to the fact that
in the last two or three years there
has been no organized effort to sup
port Gould securities. They have been
left to find their level with investors.
Since the appearance of the annual
report the transfer Office of the COM
pany has been fairly overwhelmed
with the opening of new accounts in
odd lots.

TuMoRS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia {. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently it's presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unequal pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of Inflammation
or displacenents, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin it's use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of it's
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.

Then she took a friend and went

that her chair looked perfectly ter

thought and thought, and, finally,
went back to the stores and tried
on" once more: and thought, and
thought, and then bought a hat which
is so grotesque and hideous that her

it, and strangers stare at her, wonder

wear such looking hat. But she
