1t is fallacious reasoning to deduce
the right Of one man TO steal a COW
from the fact Of another having stolen
a horse Precedents may establish
principles in law, but not in ethics.
And so the fact that, in years past, the
Internal Improvement Board squander-

the present board in doing the same

charged with slugging, and in all
cases the newspaper reports have
complimented Mitchell's high school
boys with honest and fair play. That
of itself ought to be something for
the boys to be proud of.
The people of Mitchell are very
proud of the record of the team, and
that pride was shown by the SPLEEN

home of the eleven from RedGeld
Saturday evening. 1t is to be regret
ted, however, that the leaders Of the
team will finish their school year
next June, and that the team for
1908 will have few Of the stars of
1907. There are some splendid
young men coming on and it is
thought that some excellent timber
will be developed by next fall.

1t is g strange thing how people
will put way an opportunity until

attention to them. Backache is a lit

result of overtaxing my back. 1t

has interfered with their delicate
mechanism. You call it backache,
but it really is kidney ache. If the

broke through the line for 2 more,
placing the ball on Mitchells 12-

somewhat in this owing to the fact
that she was four points ahead.

There is more catarrh in this
section OF the country than all other
diseases put together. and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remidies, and by
constantly failing TO cure with local
treatment. pronounced it incurahle.
Science has proven catar1h to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
HaIl's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by r. j. Cheney g. Co., Toledo,

on the market. IL is taken inter-

A Terrible Punishment.

A man suspected of treason in Mo
rocco was punished by having the
flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt and the whole hand
sewed up in leather. 1t is a common
belief that this punishment causes
modification to set in and that the
hand decomposes, but such is not the
case, for by the time the leather wears
off the hand is healed, the result being
that the hand Is rendered useless and
remains closed forever 1t is punish
ment not often in use, but is some
times done In cases of murder or con-
slant theft, as. without in any way In
juring the health of the man, 1t pre-
vents his committing the crime a sec
ond time or for the hundredth time,
as the case may be. 1t is a punish
ment that cannot be applied except by
the sultans orders.-Blackwood's Mag

Dshe~nina q Rhinoosros.

A rhinoceros which lived In the Lon.
don zoo was troubled by Its horn,
which grew down In front of its mouth,
so that only with difficulty could 1t eat
or drink. To save its life the keeper
decided on amputation. The horn of a
rhinoceros is not horn at all, but an
accumulation of hair and skin which
has hardened and become cemented to-
gether by some gummy substance. The
owner of this one had a very touchy
temper and was not easily approached.
Its keeper, however, decided to try
what he could do. For some days 1t re-
quired all his skill to persuade the
beast to come to the front of the cage
and put its horn through. Then for
some days he stroked the horn, much to
the animals disgust at first, although
later It seemed to like 1t. When it
found he meant nc. harm it let him take
the horn in his left hand and then with
the right initiate the motion OF a saw
across it, When this had been done
some time and the rhinoceros no longer
minded it. piece of wood was held In
the right hand and at last, when even
this no longer worried the animal, a
real saw was brought In and the horn
cut off without the slightest remon-

Emergency Foods.

According to DR.. Robert Hutchinson
of London, if at any time meat Is not
available, bread, sugar and eggs will
make "a very respectable support for
the body" Sugar is an exceedingly
valuable article of food as a source Of
energy, the unfortunate thing about 1t
being that it contains no heterogeneous
matter Bread, however, does contain
some; hence 1t balances up well when
combined with sugar In times OF
scarcity of food bread and molasses Is
not a half bad dIet-at least 1t can be
relied on to keep the body up to a fair
state of efficiency.
