HORSES THAT WOULDN'T DROWN
Remarkable Deeds Recorded by Two
Veracious C%hroniclers.

An Albanian who has Just returned
from the east, where freshets have
been the rule, tells the following about
a horse which had been attached to
a foot bridge crossing a brock, to
keep the structure from going adrift.
The flood finally swept horse and
bridge down stream. Later, the
bridge was discovered lodged against
the bank, with the horse sitting quiet
ly on the former.
A b~ystander who had listened ink
tently to this tale, remarked quietly:
Il see suthin', similyar oncet."
Indeed? What was it," asked the
story teller.
I'VE see," was the reply, carter the
boss | see was took down stream, no.
buddy eve 'spected to see him alive
agin. But he was a pow'ful sort o.
brute, an bout a hour arterward we
see him a comm up a stream a-pulin'
the blame ole bridge arter him!"-Al-
bany Evening Journal.

BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE.
Physician Called 1t Eczema in Worst
Form-Patient Despaired Of Cure
Cuticura Remedies Cured Her.

About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and a few covering my body, which
produced a sever itching irritation,
and which caused me a great deal of
suffering, to such an extent that l was
forced to call in two of the leading
physicians of -. After a thorough
examination of the dreaded complaint
they announced it to be skin eczema
in the worst form. Their treatment
did me no good. Finally l became de-
spondent and decided to discontinue
their services. My husband purchased
a single set of the Cuticura Remedies,
which entirely stopped the breaking
out. l continued the use of the Cuti-
cura Remedies for six months, and
after that ever splotch was entirely
gone. I have not felt a symptom of
the eczema since, which was three
years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E. Sledge, $40

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only n which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

CR0NNA A
CANDIDATE
HON 4 J. Cl0lQ(A DECLARES HIMSELF 4
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESSMAN.

Lakota. N. Dak., Dec. 25.-
Congressman A. j. Gronna will
be candidate to succeed himself
as congressman at large from
North Dakota.
Mr.. Gronna made public his de-
cision in the matter today. Since
his return from Washington last
week his friends have insisted up
on his declaring himself. During
the past two months he has been
in receipt of hundreds of letters
from all parts of the state urging
him to again be a candidate and
promising earnest support. The
most encouraging word has been
received from persons regardless
of factional or party politics.
From letters received and encour-
agement offered personally it is
the general impression that Mr..
Gronna has made good' and it is
evidently the desire of the people
that he again be candidate for
congress. 1t is in Difference to
this insistance coming from all
parts of the state that he deter
mined to announce himself at this
time. ~
Mr.. Gronna is now serving his
second term as congressman and
during the time that he has repre-
sented this state at Washington he
has earned the reputation of being
one of the hardest workers and
most diligent members of that dis
tinguished body.
Locally the support of Mr..
Gronna is practically unanimous.
From day to day since he returned
delegations of farmers, representa-
tive men of the county, have called
upon him urging him to run again
and Offering their united support.
Yielding to this insistant de-
mand, not only from his home
city and county, but from all parts
of the state, and from all classes
of citizens, Mr.. Gronna has de-
clared himself candidate.
Within a few days he will an
nounce to the people of North Da-
kota the platform upon which be
will seek reelection.

NEW POSTAL ORDER
FOR NEWSPAPERS
GOES INTO EFFECT FIRST OF YEAR.. IRE
0URES NEWSPAPERS TO PAY POST
AGE FOR DELINQUENT SUBJ
SCRIBERS.

Beginning with the first of the
year a new postal order regarding
newspapers goes into effect. This
order will require publishers of
weekly newspapers to pay one
cent postage per copy on all sub
scriptions over one year in ar
rears-instead of paying the post
age at one cent per pound. If a
newspaper has many of these sub
scriptions in arrears he is liable to
lose the privilege of sending any
papers through the mails at the
pound rate. This order will in
crease the cost Of the paper fifty
cents per year when not paid IN
advance and this the publisher
cannot stand and is too much fol-
the subscribers to pay.
As potice of this order going in
to effect only reached us last week
we have been unable to send out
notices to all those over one year
in arrears and this item should be
a notice to every subscriber to see
that his subscription is paid up
within the limit. With our next
issue we will be compelled to COM
ply with the new law and call up
on our subscribers to help US out
by remitting at once what they
believe will bring them within the
wear limit. Notices of the date to
which subscriptions are paid will
be sent out within a few days but
would not reach subscribers in
time to do any good for next
week.
