And So the Light Led Me.

a fur toQue capped her graceful head.
My grandfather and his guide were
apparently in high spirits and their
laughter smote harshly upon me- It

within the radius of that swaying
light, and I hung aloof, hearing her
voice and jealous of the very com
partnership and sympathy between
them.
But the light led me. remembered
with bitterness that I had always fol-
lowed her,-whether as Olivia, trail

Why Farmers Grow Old Early.

Any one who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason,
for he knows of the strain under
which the American farmer lives dur
ing the FIVE months of spring and
summer. His work day is from or 5
in the morning until s or at night,
including chores-fifteen to seventeen
hours of the hardest kind of physical,
labor, and every minute of it at high
tension, especially during harvest
Then comes period of relaxation in
the fall, the one time in the year
when he has just enough muscular
exercise to keep him in health Later,
the winter season, approaching stag
nation, in which ne takes on flesh,
gets "logy", and then furious de-
bauch of hard labor, through the
spring and summer again. No Won
der that by As he has had a SUM-
STROKE and "can't stand the heat" or
has ga weak back" or his heart
gives out" or chill makes him
rheumatic" and when you add to this
furious muscular strain the fact that
the farmer sees his income put in
peril every season, and his very home
every bad year, so that each unfavor-
able change in the weather sets his
nerves on edge, it can be readily i'm
agined that the real quiet, peaceful
country life" is something sadly diff
ferent from the ideal.

Indian Cure for Neuralgia.

Here is simple method of curing
facial neuralgia. If the neuralgia is
in the right side of the face the left
hand should be placed in a basin of
water as hot as can be borne. Or if
neuralgia is in the left side of the
face then the right hand should be
placed in the hot water. 1t is assert
ed that in this way relief may be OBJ
tanned in less than five minutes. The
explanation is that the two nerves
which have the greatest number of
tactile nerve endings have are the
fifth and the median nerves. AS the
fbers of these two nerves cross any
impulse conveyed to the left hand
will affect the right side of the face,
or if applied to the right hand will
affect the left side of the face. This
is on account of the crossing of the
cords.

two hours of stormy debate by a vote

Senate has called forth the fiery elo-
quence THAI was ushered in by the
Sunday baseball bill Fully a dozen
senators spoke either for or against
the question, and as many more made
lengthy explanations of their votes
while the roll was being called. For
the first time in four years the full
vote of the Senate was cast on a roll
call, just fifty senators recorded then
sentiments on the baseball question.
Never before during this session
has SO large or enthusiastic an audi
ence filled the Senate chamber as that
which listened to the baseball argu-
ment- Long before the measure was
called on third reading by Senator
Floyd Parks both the space around
the lobby railing and the gallery were
crowded, we'll dressed women form
ing goodly portion of the assemb
lage. Even standing room in the
lobby of the Senate was at a prem
ium, and one woman more daring
than the others perched herself high
on a window sill and enjoyed the
feast of eloquence to her hearts con-
tent.
Those who voted for the bill were:
Benz, Bingham, Durre, Hugg, Kist.
Ter, Koehne, McCallum, Mcdowell,
Patterson, Pelzer, Ranke, Roemler,
Shafer, Carl Wood and Will R.

Those who voted against the meas
