How 10 Sharpen Lawn Mowers.

Since nearly all lawn mowers are
constructed on similar principles, to
sharpen the machines remove the outer
drive wheels, change the pinions and
replace the wheels, says Popular Me-
chanics. This causes the cutter to ro-
tate backward when the drive wheels
revolve. Then raise the stationary cut
ter by tightening the front bolts Form
a thick paste of powdered emery and
oil and apply to the revolving cutter
TO sharpen simply turn one of the
drive wheels, and in a short time the
cutter will have perfect edges.

WABASH AND
 ITS CAR CONTRACT

New York, March 12.-The cancella- ton of contract for 2.500 new steel ears by the Wabash Railway has set some knowing ones thinking. The Wabash officials will not go on record themselves as to why this order was cancelled, but 1t is understood that Is was because they could not get the cars when they wanted them The Wabash, like other roads, is crying for more cars. The mills cannot run the stuff for steel ears out fast enough, and it is fair to assume that the Wabash did just what the president 0f the Pennsylvania has threatened 3 do-cancel orders for cars ill the PittsDurg shops unless it can be shown that the cars can be furnished in some kind of time That is req sOnaDle. It stands to reason that If the Wabash had orders in for 2,500 cars and these orders were moving up the line to where they could be filled shortly it would be bad policy to cancel orders because steel cars are nearly as good as gold bonds, while being scarceF.

posed stom ac Il trouble is caused in reality by one of these parasites. A man or woman may be afflicted in this manner for years and not realize the true cause of their suffering. When I first sold Cooper's New Discovery I did not know that the medicine would remove this trouble. have since found that it invariably does so. The following letter is fair sample of the symptoms as experienced by an individual thus affected:
 sI was always tired. My stomach bloated and the slightest exertion made me sick, weak and dizzy. My appetite was variab and good nights sleep was unknown to me. When l awoke in the mornings I had a bad taste i'll my mouth and coated tongue. 1 heard of the wonderful benefits that were being derived from Cooper's New Discovery, and decided to try it. ''

 IN SLOW TRAINS

New York, March 12.-Several passenger agents of the New York Central lines at an informal con- ference talked chiefly of the pos sibility of finding some way by which the fast through trains to the west on which an extra fare is charged can be run if the 9 cent mile movement spreads. No one could arrive at any devise for getting around the proposition if Illinois, Michigan and New York eyer adopt the 2-cent rate and it was the general opinion that if pas senger rates busting keeps up there will not be anything leaving New York for the middle states except slow trains. "So long as New York state leaves passenger rates alOne,' i've can find some way of tacking on the extra fare even if the man "ho pays It uoes lid'ei hiost ol the way through country where there is 2-cent rate. There has never baen any complaint from persons who use the trains. If they want to get across the country faster than they could go on an ordinary train they are willing to pay for it.''

CARRIE NAT|0N'S
 0N THE STAGE She Once Visited Pine Bluff as a Drawing Card For a Local County Fair Associ- ation.
HER BUSY CAREER
Nrcstled With Secretary II. l.. Bloom and Knocked Cigarettes From Mouths of Smokers-Yisited East Third Avenue Saloon.

Mrs. Carrie Nation, who visited Pine Bluff 6 few years ago as a drawing card at the annual exhiDi- ton held under the auspices of the Jefferson County Fair association, is now q theatrical star"
 Of all the interesting characters who have invaded this part of the country, Carrie Nation, the inn Betuous and energetic hatchet Nicldef from Kansas. created per haps as much comment and at tracted as much attention during her stay than any other.
 Mrs. Nation is now touring the southern states with a transforming aggregation, playing Ten Nights in u Barroom.' the venerable tem- perance show.
 During her brief stay here Mrs Nation comforted herself with un- usual quietude, and except for such little peculiarities as snatching cigarettes from the mouths of of lending men and youths and throwing a scare into the habitues of an East Third avenue saloon, upon the occas>on of her perfectly innocent entrance thereto, which nearly resulted in her arrest, the old lady didn't do anything par ticularly rash except engage in wrestling match with M. E. Bloom, the secretary of the fair associa- ton, because he insisted on smok- ing a cigarette, for which she aft erward apologized.
 A brief biographical sketch of Carrie follows:
 Mrs. Carrie A. Nation, the Kan sas saloon raider and spectacular smasher of bar rooms with her hatchet, was born in Kentucky and moved first to Missouri in early youth and finally settled in Kan sas. In 1865 she married a young physician named Gloyd. Unfortu- nately for the pair Doctor Gloyd was addicted to strong drink. They lived in Holden, Mo-, for short time, but soon separated. Doctor Gloyd did not live long. Mrs. Gloyd next married David Nation, who was editor of the Warrens- burg Journal. They lived together 24 years, when Mrs. Nation began to smash up saloons and her hus- band sued for and obtained di- vorce while she was in prison for destroying property. Mrs. Nation has been arrested many times on this same charge and has served number of terms in prison, once being arrested for sending obscene matter through the mails, namely, her publication called "The Hatch et." She made a sensational at- tempt to see President Roosevelt but was put out of the White House. She also addressed the sen- ate from one of the galleries in the chamber, but was elected.
