The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using. and gives
it q sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the sto h and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn Is foul It
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption OF
the pure current of blood and the dfssem-
nation of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

1t does for the stomach what the washing

Gets Check for Huge Oil Fine.
Toledo, O.-Thad Stevens, cashier Of
the Second National Bank of Toledo,
was informed from Washington that
a check on his institution and purport-
ing to be signed by the Standard Oil
Company, per John D. Rockefeller, had
been received by the treasury depart
ment. As the check called for $29,240,-
600, some doubt was entertained as to
its being genuine.
With the check was a letter saying
the money was sent in payment of the
fine recently imposed on the Standard
Oil Company OF Indiana by Judge
Lands in Chicago.

The hazardous but lucrative trade OF

Edmund P. Condit, wealthy resi-.
dent Of Verona, N. J., gave birthday
party to dozen young friends Of his
nine-year- son the other day. When
he attempted to celebrate the occasion
by raising an American flag to the
top Of the thirty foot staff that has
stood on his lawn for years the pulley
rope broke. The pole was too frail to
permit Of even the lightest lad climb
ing up to pass another halyard through
the pulley at the top.

Condit," piped up Able Wolf, neigh
boris son, and he scooted of to his
fathers barn, returning with a little
white rat clinging to his shoulder
Abe uncoiled big ball Of Irvine, put
the loose end in Jimmy's mouth and
sent the little animal climbing up the
pole but when he reached the pulley
be didn't know what to do next. Abe
found another pulley, called the white
rat down and spent ten minutes teach
ing him to run back and forth through
the continuance with the Irvine be-
tween his teeth.
Then he sent Jimmy up the pole
again, and this time the rat without
moments hesitation tried to get
through the pulley. The hole was too
small, but Jimmy deliberately took the
string in one paw, passed it through
the small opening, caught it with the
other paw and scrambled to the ground
with 1t.
A rope was strung through the pull
ley with the aid Of the Irvine halyard,
and Jimmy munched happily on the
biggest piece Of cheese he had ever
seen at once.

Murphy rested on his back IN the
midst Of a thicket Of willows. wide
awake, yet not quite ready to ford the
Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore.
Crouched behind a log, he had SO far
yielded unto temptation as to light his
pipe.
Murphy had been amid just such
unpleasant environments many times
before, and the experience had grown
somewhat prosaic. Even Indian-scout-
ing degenerates into a commonplace
at last. So Murphy pulled contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle of a branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe

lBioamist Has Pick Of Wives.

New York-Herman Keuhn, convict
ed Of bigamy, was permitted by Judge
z. M. w. Foster Of general sessions to
choose which wife to take away with
him and to leave court with her free
man, on suspended sentence, after CIV
ing his promise to support both women.
Keuhn chose the more recent wife,
smacked her a resounding kiss in the
court room leaving the elder wife to
tear her hair and cry aloud in Yiddish.
"A jury convicted Keuhn of bigamy,
altl.o he made the defense that the
oldN woman was not his legal wife
and counsel for the defense argued that
no proofs Of the former marriage had
been brought.

elder said something similar in Yiddish.
The Judge finally decided to suspend
sentence on the condition that Keuhn
should support both wives. Keuhn,
who is halter making good money,
smiled his readiness to do so.

Immediately dropped asleep. He was
up again before daylight, and, after
q hasty meal, pressed on. The nature
of the country had changed consider
ably. becoming more broken, the view
circumscribed by towering cliffs and
deep ravines.
Late in the afternoon he reined up
his horse and gazed forward into
broad valley, bounded with precipi-
tous bluffs. The trail led directly
down toward where a considerable
stream of water shone silvery In the
sun. half concealed behind fringe OF
willows. And yonder, close in against
those distant willows, some black dots
were moving. Hampton glued his
anxious eyes to the glass. The leveled
tubes clearly revealed man on horse
back. leading another horse. The anil
mails were walking. There could be
little doubt that this was Silent Muir
ply.
Hampton lariated his tired horses
behind the bluff and returned to the
summit. lying fat upon the ground,
with the ield-glass at his eyes. The
distant figures passed slowly forward
into the midst of the willows, and for
half an hour the patient watcher
scanned the surface of the stream be-
yond. but there was no sign of at
tempted passage. The sun sank lower
and finally disappeared behind those
desolate ridges to the westward.
Hampton's knowledge of plainscraft
rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently
clear. This was the Fourche; beyond
those waters. lay the terrible peril Of
Indian raiders. Further advance must
be made by swift, secret night riding,
and never-ceasing vigilance. This was
what Murphy had been saving himself
and his horses for Beyond conjec-
ture. he was resting now within the
shadows of those willows. studying
the opposite shore and making ready
for the dash northward. Hampton be-
lieyed he would linger thus for some
time after dark, to see If Indian fires
would afford any guidance. Confident
Of this, he passed back to his horses,
rubbed them down with grass, and
then ate his lonely supper, not ventur-
ing to light Are, certain that Muir
/ phys eyes were scanning every inch
Of skyline.
Darkness came rapidly, while Hamp-
ton sat planning again the details OF
his nights work Then, with the two
animals trailing cautiously behind, he
felt his slow way on foot down the
steep bluff, into the denser blackness
OF the valley.

He sank down feebly-sank until he
was on his knees, his head craned for
ward. The man watching touched the
miserable, hunched-up figure compass
sionately, and 1t shook beneath his
hand, endeavoring to shrink away.

It was him a-reachin' fer me. Here,

"Who?"
"Brant! Brant--16 year!"
"Brant? Fifteen years? Do you

"He-he DIDN'T
The old man heaved forward, his
head rocking from side to side; then
suddenly he toppled over on his face,
gasping for breath. His companion
caught him and ripped open the heavy
flannel shirt. Then he strobe savage
" across in front Of his shrinking horse,
tore down the naring picture, and
hastily thrust 1t into his pocket, the
light Of the PHOSPHORUS with which it
had been rubbed being reflected for .
moment on his features.
"A dirty, miserable, low-down trick,
he muttered. Poor old devil! Yet
I've got to do It for the little girl"
He stumbled back through the dark
ness. his hat filled with water, and
dashed it into Murphy's face. Come
on, Murphy! There's one good thing
bout spooks; they don't hang round
fer long at time. Likely es not this
'un is gone by now. Brace up, man.

Then Murphy grasped his arm and
drew himself slowly to bis feet.

They moved forward at q walk and
reached a higher level, across which
the night wind swept, bearing q touch
of cold in its breath as though coming
from the snow-capped mountains to
the west. There was renewed life in
this invigorating air and Murphy
spurred forward. his companion press
ing steadily after.
When the first signs Of returning
day appeared in the east, the two left
their horses in narrow canyon. and
crept to the summit Of a ridge. Below
lay the broad valley of the Powder.
Then Murphy turned his head and
looked back into the others face.
