P. 7. Baird Was Poisoned.

DR.. Carl johnson has received a
letter from DR.. Sewall, ci ty chemist of
Denver, who analysed the contents OF
the stomach taken from p. 7. Baird,
the Lake City man who died under sus-
picious circumstances short time ago.
The test shows that Baird died from
the effects of cyanide Of potassium.
While this throws no additional light
as to who is responsible for Baird's
DEATH it provides legal proof that the
death was the result of poisoning, The
officials are still at work on the case
and it is possible that sensational de-
velopments may result in the course of
of time.

Losses In Young Pigs.

1t Is safe to assert that srdinar ily so
per cent. of the pigs die at birth to the
geof ten days. The losses at this
period are estimated to be next to
those caused by the ravages. of cholera
This is frequently followed by another
period of losses commencing at weaving
time. These losses are generally caused
by improper feeding. The corn-fed
sow brings small, weakly constituted
pigs. The heat produced by too much
corn develops fever and pigs die of
starva ton
Again, weaving time is a critical
period in the life of the pig. By com
parison, says Farmers Review, it has
been ascertained that the milk of the
SOW is about three times richer in fat
and twice as rich in sugar of milk as is
the milk of the cow. Depriving the
pig of rich concentrated food and re-
quiring it to depend on ordinary feed
such as corn and grass would be very
violent change. Corn is deficient in ash
and protein, and alfalfa is too bulky for
/ supplying these nutrients in the con-
centrated and efficient form required
by pigs. 1t will pay to feed fresh milk
and skimmilk to the young pigs Young
pigs should be regularly fed, as often
as five times a day.

Uric ac,d is a deadly poison that is

i Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced in the human body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass 1t safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and so many of the aches that are commonly at tributed to rheumatism.
 ! The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- tions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. In this way the kid neys pass of more than an ounce of poison every day when in health.
 But 1t does not take much to set the kidneys back, and when they get behind, they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys, causing that dull heavy aching in the back and sharp twinges when stooping or lifting. It crystallizes in the muscles and joints and every turn or twist brings keen- est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica. It brings headache, dizziness languor, and disorder of the urine.
 Try a good kidney medicine, if you have any of the above symptoms. There IS nothing else so prompt and effective as Doan's Kidney Pills, and

THE MOCKER AND THE TERRIER

Dogs often catch the young mock ing birds while learning to use their wings, so come in for a just amount of enmity from the adult birds. I we'll remember the sufferings of a Boston terrier, Bobs. from such attacks. They seemed to know that the stub of his docked tail was the most sensitive point they could as- sail. He was dog of much dig nifty of bearing, and it was amusing to see the mocker dart upon him from an adjacent bush, tweak the hairs upon that stub tail. then flash away. Bobs would give a yelp of pain, whirl around, look foolish and start of again with an injured air, only to receive another attack from the rear, until he took to ignomin- ous flight
 He would often try reprisal. lying on the gallery, apparently asleep, moeker, who. after time, would drop from his perch to the lawn in search of a luscious worm or ven- turesome grasshopper, whereupon Bobs would make a valiant rush and chase the mocker, who apparently enjoyed the game, flying low and just fast enough to keep out of his reach until his favorite bush. was near, there perching, would begin his scolding, "Chert, ehert,' untii Bobs's back was turned. Then the chase was reversed, and Bobs was glad to seek the house.-Forest and Stream.

 Doan's Kidney Pills are recom- mended by your own townspeople.
 Waterbury Testimony.
 James Connally, of S4 East Clay street, Waterbury, Conn, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of backachs and kidney trouble after had suf- fered for years and had doctored for it without getting relief. Thomas Mil- Ter, friend of mine boarding at this house, was all broken up on account of his back paining him. He was weak in the loins and so badly troubl- ed that he was homesick. He had as bad a case of kidney trouble and backache as I ever saw. told him about Doan's Kidney Pills and asked him to send to H. W. Lake Drug Company for box. He began taking them and in few days was back at work. His back is as strong as ever now. A number of cases have come to my notice where Doan's Kidney Pills have cured people of kidney com. plaint and backache. look upon them as certain cure. My own ex. perience with them was some years ago and I have not had to use any. kidney medicine since."

OCEAN WEATHER CHARTS.

Attempts recently made to map out weather charts of the high sea between Europe and the United States are said to have proved entire ly successful. Some preliminary ex- periments commenced last year, not specially prepared, had led to some practical results in so far as the weather bulletins received from passing steamers allowed weather charts and weather prognoses to be established on the ocean. The more systematic experiments undertaken this year by Dr Polls, director of the AiX-la-Chapelle meteorological obser- atory, in conjunction with the Ham, burg-American line on their steam ship Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, have been prepared carefully, telegrams relating to the weather condition on the coast of Europe being trans mitted daily by wireless telegraphy from the observatory above mention ed to the steamship on its way to New York throughout its voyage. If tho American and European govern ments and other authorities lend sufficient aid, the missing link be- tween the weather records of the two continents, namely, those of the Att lantic ocean, will be completed in the near future, allowing the wealth CT conditions from the western boundary of the United States to the eastern boundary of Europe to be surveyed daily. This would doubt less mean an extraordinary advance in connection with weather predic- tion (which in the interests of agri- culture has lately been promoted most actively by the German govern ment), while yielding a most wei come aid to navigation. The progress of those experiments is accordingly watched with the keenest interest in German naval circles.-Scient.fi American.

Hugh dropped the match with a smothered exclama- tion, for the word was Jessica. So Harry really had loved her in the old days! He swung the massive door wide and took out the canvas bag with the thousand dollars. With this and the ruby ring-it must easily be worth as much again-he could put the round world between himself and cap ture.
 He closed the safe and with the bag of coin in his hand groped his way to the door of the chapel.

As she did so sparkle caught her eye. It came from the tiny gold cross lying where Hugh had flung 1t near the lighted doorway. She picked it up, looked at it a moment abstractedly and thrust it into her pocket scarce con- sciously, for her heart was keeping time to the silenced hoof beat that was bearing the man she loved from dan ger.
 
 | Where the way opened into the gloomy cut of Funeral Hollow, Harry dismounted and went forward slowly afoot, leading the horse, till a figure stepped from clump of bushes to meet him with an exclamation of relief. Hugh had waited at the rendezvous in shivering apprehension and dismal sus- picion of Harry's intentions and had not approached till he had convinced himself that the other came alone. He wrung Harry's hand as he said:
 If I get out of this, I'll do better the rest of my life, I will, upon my soul, Harry"
 You may not be able to get into the chapel" said Harry: "my rooms'-he felt his cheek burn as he spoke-"may be occupied. On the chance that you fail, take this" He took off the ruby ring, whose interlaced initials had once fortified him in his error of identity. "The stone is worth a good deal. It should be enough to take you any where"
 Hugh nodded, slipped the ring on his finger and rode quickly off Then Harry turned and walked rapidly back

away before daybreak. He drew to- gether the altar cushions and lay down. the canvas bag beside him, but he was cold, and at length he rose and went Into the vestry for a surplice. He wrapped this about him and, lighting e cigarette, lay down again. He was very tired, and in a few minutes he was sleeping heavily.
 The last half consumed cigarette dropped from his relaxing fingers to the cushion, where 1t made Q smolder- ing nest of fire. A tiny tongue of flame caught the edge of wall hang ing, ran up to the dry oaken rafters and speedily ignited them. In fifteen minutes the interior of the chapel was a mass of flame, and Hugh woke gasp ing and bewildered.
 With a cry of alarm he sprang to his feet, seized the bag of coin and ran to the door of the study. Tn his haste he stumbled against 1t, and the dead lock snapped to. He was prisoner now, for he had left the skeleton key in the Inside of the outer door. Clutching his treasure, he ran to the main entrance It was fast. He tried the smaller win dows. Iron bars were set across them.
 He made shift to wrap the surplice about his mouth against the stifing smoke and fiery vapors. The bag drop ped from his hand, and the gold rolled about the floor. He stopped and clutch ed handful of the coins and crammed them into his pocket. Was he to die, after all, like this, caught like rat in a trap?
 Uttering hoarse cry, with the strength of despair, Hugh wrenched pew from the floor and made of it a ladder to reach the rose window. Mounting this, he beat frantically with his fist upon the painted glass. The crystal shivered beneath the blows, and clinging to the iron supports, his beard burned to the skin, he set his face to the aperture and drew gulp- ing breath of the sweet, cold air. In his agony, with that fiery hell opening beneath him, he could see the massed people watching from the safety that was so near.
 Look! Lookr' The sudden cry went up, and thrill of awe ran through the crowd. The glass Hugh had shattered had formed the face of the penitent thief fin the window de sign, and his outstretched arms fitted those of the figure. It was as though by some ghastly miracle the painted features had suddenly sprung into life, the haggard eyes opened in appeal.
 All at once there came a shout of warning. The wall opened outward, tottered and fell.
 Then it was that they saw the writh- ing figure, tangled in the twisted lead bars of the wrecked rose window. Shielding their faces from the unen- durable heat, they reached and bore it to safety, laying 1t on the crisp, snowy grass and tearing off the singed and smoking ministerial robes.
 Judge Conwell was one of these. In the faring confusion he leaned over the figure. The gleam of the ruby ring on the finger caught his eye. He bent forward to look into the drawn and distorted face.
 Good God" he said. ''It's Harry Sandersonr'
