No Cause to Worry,

THE TussRcuLosIs CAMPAIGN

The campaign about to begin against
tuberculosis In Missouri cows by the
state board OF agriculture, looking to a
state law reimbursing owners whose
diseased animals are slaughtered by
state. officials. Is not the first action
taken by a commonwealth, says the
Drovers' Telegram. The Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station has been busy for
quite awhile and has achieved notable
results. rs set out in the last annual
report of that station. The experiment
station work has been supplemented
by that of the state veterinarian n
private individuals, whose records are
not included In the compilation showing
of the station itself. During the past
three years hundreds Of students have
been set to work and tuberculin has
been distributed by wholesale over the
state. Tabulated results were sent TO
the station, showing that the disease is
giving way to this treatment, as set
forth in this table:

quently needs in small quantities, but
which he rarely has on hand, is a good,
quick setting cement for uniting small
fragments OF iron, setting wooden han
dies into tools and a hundred and one
other small jobs. A very good cement
which will answer almost any require
ment may be made by dissolving COM
mon orange shellac in enough alcohol
to form a paste. This may be kept on
hand in a tightly corked bottle with a
wide mouth-tightly coTked, or the al
cohol will evaporate. When it is de-
sired to use the cement, place as much
as II is desired to use in any small tin
vessel and set the paste on fire. The
alcohol will soon burn out, and the
cement should then be quickly used,
before it has time to cool. This cement
is very strong and is waterproof.

Lord kitehner's Sarcasm.
From the Philadelphia Press,

From the Philadelphia Press.
England's great military chieftain,
Lord Kitchener, has a pitiless con-
tempt for anything which savors of
effeminacy in q man. This is illustrated
by an incident which occurred soon
after his return TO England, from his
Egyptian exploits. He was ~accosted
by a young lord who had an annoying
zeal for collecting the autographs of
distinguished persons. Meeting Kitch-
ener, he gushed:
DO me the honor to pencil your
name on this, Lord Kitchener (produc-
ing q lace handkerchief and I'll have
the autograph worked in silk and keep
it forever in memory of the hero OF
Khartoum."
Your sisters. / presume" said
Kitchener, shifting al the scented
handkerchief. "
mo, It's my own; a very pretty
pattern, isn't it?"
Very" said Kitchener, in a dry way
passing the handkerchief back un-
signed. What is your taste in hair
pins, by the way?"

Why Living is Expensive.

From the HaVerAill Gazette.
Mrs. Ellen II. Richards, of Boston, In
a recent lecture before the Teachers col
lege in New York answered the cry about
the increased cost of living with these
words: The thing hat has increased Is
not the cost of living, but the scale OF
living. The change is not in price al
which existence can be maintained, but
in peoples ideas as TO what are neces-
saries of life" Mrs. Richards has struck
a keynote that ought to set the sensible
teachers not only TO thinking. but to prun.

o,Hs,. From o.s., shows.

There are many ways in which
the Hagenbeck- Wallace Combined
Shows differ from other circuses and
visit to this monster tented enter
prise when it comes to La Junta,
Saturday. July 18th. will cause
people. who have been complaining
that all shows were alike to qualify
this statement by adding excepting
the Hagenbeck- Wallace Show"
The union of these two large cir
cuses resembles other tented enter
prises inasmuch as the performance
is given under tent. When it
comes to the circus acts themselves
it differs widely from other institu-
tions which are heralded as great
shows.
Heretofore circuses have exhibit
ed wild beasts as menagerie fea-
ture. hut the Hagenbeck- Wallace
show has animals which perform in
monster steel arena and do the
same acts which human rivals have
attempted with more or less success
IN years gone by. The announce
ment. for instance, that a rider
would juggle various articles and
twirl a baton while riding a running
horse. would startle the public. In
fact, such feature has never been
offered by circus. The Carl Hag-
enbeck and Great Wallace Shows
have performer which does these
stunts, but the artist is an ami
NAL! To witness it urging horse
to go faster by patting him and at
the same time performing the feats
descritsu above drives the least en-
thusiastc spectator to join in the
hearty applause.
The menagerie is more than twice
as large as that carried by other
circuses. The only mandrill in
captivity is in this department. The
only hybrid lion tiger. with the lion $
stripes on the. tigers skin. is an
other rare feature.
A grand street parade is given in
avery city visited. And the turn
out of 400 Wallace Gray Horses is a
feature.

SECRET SERVICE AFTER
RAWHIDE EXPLIOTERS

WASHINGTON, March 30--It is
stated semi-ofhcially in this city that
the United States government has sent
sereret service men into the mining
district of Rawhide Nevada to inves
tigate certain properties in that camp
now being exploited and advertised
by brokerage firm in Nevada. The
brokerage firm is said to be flooding
eastern financial circles with literature
in regard to the wonderful gold de
posits in Rawhide and to be offering
much Rawhide stock for sale.
According to the report now in cir
culation here, the government has rea.
son to believe that the Nevada stock
brokerage firm in question is using the
mails to defraud, and it is for the
purpose of securing evidence agaire Z
the promoters of the company that t'.
government has sent the secret service
men into the district
