On a Western railroad line a train,
after jogging slowly along, came to u
full stop. An impatient passenger
thrust his head out and asked a
brakeman standing disconsolately
alongside the train: rs this Ell
Paso?"
mo, SIR replied the trainman; 1t
is not El Paso. 1t is a COW"
When the COW had been removed
from the line the train ambled on
again, but two minutes later it again
came to a dead stop
Another cow, suppose" shouted
the irate passenger witheringly.
No, sir, it is not, was the quiet
response. 1T is the same COW. -

WHEN REST IS NEEDED.
Feeling of Uncertainty in Performs
ance of Routine Work.


ance of Routine Work.
when people fall into the habit
OF wondering whether they have done
routine things, it is high time for
them to consider the adyisability OF
rest" said a physician. There is
no surer sign, to my mind, that the
system is becoming overtaXed than
this feeling OF uncertainty.
= was staying with friend the
other night, spending the night with
him, in fact He's a man whom |
know pretty we'll, and l thought at
dinner and through the evening, from
a little nervousness in his converse
ton and manner, that things weren't
all right with him, but I wasn't abso-
lutely convinced till bedtime APP
preached. We were sitting up stairs
in his study, his family having re-
tired, and he asked me to excuse him
while he saw that the house was
locked up. Il was a still night and
l could follow his progress around
the various rooms on the first floor.
He seemed to me to be unnecessarily
long and, without being inquisitive, |
really became interested 70 know
whether he wasn't making the rounds
twice. Finally | heard him go into
the parlor, a room ! was sure he had
visited at least once before. When he
came up stairs, / asked laughingly
how many times he had seen that
each window was fastened But he
wasn't in laughing mood at all.
It's a funny thing, old man, he
said, but I've been fool enough to
look at each window two or three
times. Do you know, it would strike
me after | had left room that per-
haps / hadn't put the catch properly
on one of the windows there, and
back I'd have to go to make sure.
Being in there, I'd examine the other
windows again It's been that way
for half a dozen nights Somehow,
doing these things doesn't seem to
make the impression on that one
would expect This lack Of sureness
isn't confined to locking windows,
either. I find myself at the Office
wondering whether I've given such
and such Ons-instructions
that are so much part Of my daily
work that / suppose l give them me-
chanically and then forget them.
Nine times out of ten I find every
thing is all right. but I'm not quite
happy till | do. / guess / must be
getting oldmaidish in my old age.
1t was my turn to be serious then.
l explained to him that his forgetful-
ness all came from being overtired.
From habit he worked like an autom-
atom, doing this, that and the other
thing in his business and home life,
but great number of his actions
were without the cogni2ance of the
brain. He needed rest, and if he ala
not take 1t he would break down.
1 got him away from cares for a
bit and the next time l saw him he
laughed as heartily over the incident
of the much-locked windows as /
pretended to. He doesn t know it. but
he had a narrow escape I'm telling
this story that it may serve as a
warning in an overstrenuous age. -

With His Pine.

An old Hungarian countryman had
smoked the same pipe for more than
fifty years, and, as natural conse-
quence, had grown to love it as a
companion. One day, however, his
infant grandson smashed the pipe be-
yond all hope of repair. The old
man was so brokenhearted at his
loss that he hanged himself on a
peg. In his pocket was found a scrap
of paper on which was scrubbed:
My pipe is done for and l must 60,

20 FIGHT GREEN BUG.
Kansas University Sending out Para
sites to the Farmers to De-
stroy the Pests.


Lawrence, Kansas. = The entomol-
ogy department of the University
Of Kansas, under the direction OF
Prof. S. ]. Hunter, has decided to be-
gin a war upon the green bugs in the
wheat fields by distributing parasites
which feed upon the pests through
out the infested area For several
weeks letters have been coming to
the university asking it to take hand
in checking the green bug in the
same manner that it carried on the
chtnch bug war in the early '90s. Prof.
Hunter, however, did not consider the
condition very alarming and so wait
ed to see if with warm weather the
parasites could not check the pest
without any artificial breeding and
distribution. He still does not believe
there will be any widespread loss,
but owing to the continued cool
weather he has decided to distrib-
ute parasites.
Two advanced students of the ento-
mology department, Will Grisea and
Ebb Crumb. have been sent to the in
tested districts in the southern part
of the state. They will make a daily
report on the conditions there and
will have general supervision of the
distribution of the parasites which
feed upon the green bug.

Of nearly every power of the world
and in an opening programme with
President Roosevelt in the leading

small foreign nations participating,
the public will have its recompense.
The grounds and buildings at the ex-
position are about so per cent fin
ished.
The state buildings have been
grouped along the historic shore of
Hampton Roads and command an ex-
cellent view of the navies of the
world. 1t is this great naval display
that will prove the browning glory

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Gives Advice and Tells of Simple
Home Mixture.

At this time of year, says a well.
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to get
from some good prescription pharmacy
the following ingredients: Fluid Elk
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces Mix
by shaking well in bottle and take
in teaspOonful doses after your meals
and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
full blood count''-that is, 95 per cent.
red blood corpuscles- which is apso-
lutely indispensable to perfect health.

AGE TOLD BY The PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
= Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex of
a person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat of 80 times
a minute in case CT a girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to Ito and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and so. Mature men and women av-
erage so and IS. Elderly men and
women have an average OF 60 and So
An old woman's pulse rarely, if ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below so is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A
