Drug Store For Horses.

II came across a queer little drug
store the other day." said the city sales
man. 1T makes speciality of vet
erinarian prescriptions. According to
the proprietor's own account, they don't
sell very much in that store except
horse medicine. They sell more of
that than any other drug store in town.
The neighborhood abounds in stables
and animals hospitals. and most of the
drugs used In doctoring sick horses are
bought at that store. OF course the
place Is fitted up with the usual drug
store paraphernalia. There is soda
water fountain, a cigar stand, postage
stamps can be purchased there and
drafts and doses for human beings will
be compounded upon request, but those
familiar and supposedly primary func-
tons of drug store are in this case a
superfuity, because about all that drug
gist does is to put up cures for equine
ailments. New York Press.

commodations for the summer and in

the book that at present exists IN en-
bryo within my BRAIN
After much diminishing and securing
of the country Murray found what he
thought he wanted and wrote his
friend to come on.
Orville came by next tain. Murray
met him at the station in his big red
car, and they sped down broad, dust
white highway.

you of your desire for solitude,

Six miles farther he turned into a
far between.
This is better" declared Orville.
at will keep getting better from your
standpoint" retorted Murray.
On they sped until the car swerved
and turned into what looked to Orville
like an overgrown copse.
"You don't mean this is a road?' he
said as the car bumped and protested
against the ruts and underbrush.

Murray, this place was made for
mew CALCULATED the young author as
the car swooped down upon white
house nestled among the trees.
Murray helped him carry his belong
ings into the big airy bedroom and
then returned to town, with curious
smile lighting his face.
The place proved ideal for Orville's
purpose. The farmer and his wife
were quiet people, little given to
speech. They never disturbed him
when he was at work even to the ex-
tent of summoning him to a meal.
When hunger drove him from his work,
no matter what the hour might be,
food was prepared without an objec-
ton. A beautiful winding river with
incurving shores swept through the
farm, and here at eve Dick Orville was
wont to repair for inspiration. Tn
der these blissful conditions his ideas
developed and unfolded charmingly.
Then there came the inevitable ending.
IT am sorry" faltered his landlady
one morning, "but Hiram went to the
postoffice today. and he found letter
from a young lady in the city. She is
an artist and wants to come here to
paint and to be alone"
"Well, write to her that she can't
come" replied Orville quickly. "I'll
pay you double
'Tts too late" said Mrs. Glidden.
"You see, the letter was written week
ago. We don't get our m9W only once
in awhile. She said If she didn't hear
to the contrary she'd come today. But
I'll try and find her another place near
here. The Aliens take boarders. / may
have to keep her overnight If she
comes. Would you like to hear her let
teri"
Before he could politely decline this
proffer Mrs. Glidden began to read the
letter, which was girlishly written. She
said that she longed for a place where
she could be quiet, some place that was
remote from neighbors, where she
could paint and dream at will; that q
friend in passing the Glidden farm had
thought it would be just the kind of
place she craved and had written her
about 1t.
Some OF Orville's irritation vanished
upon hearing the letter. There was
note of appeal in it, reflection OF mis-
own mood, that touched him.
'She evidently Graves solitude as
much as I do and so she will avoid
me-" he thought
I'VE might try 1t, Mrs. Glidden," he
proposed, land IL find her presence

Wife-Have you any secrets you keeI
from me, dearest?
Husband-None, darling.
Wife-Then I am determined I will
have none from you either.
Husband-Have you secrets, then?
Wife-Only one, and am resolved to
make a clean breast of it.
Husband (hoarsely)-Go on!
Wife-For several days have had n
secret-a secret longing for a new
dress, with hat to match, for my birth
day.

I'll 60. I'll move my writing table and
books and things down to the little
cabin on the river bank and do my
work there"
He proceeded to carry out this plan
and remained in his new quarters the
rest of the day. 1t was dusk when he
came to the farmhouse for something
to eat.
"She's upstairs volunteered Mrs
Glidden. shes awfuily young and
pretty. | told her l had a gentleman
boarder who came here to be alone,
and she said she wouldn't disturb you
in the least"
But Orville wasn't interested in hear
ing of the newcomer. His mind was
intent on a complicated situation in his
book. and he paid no heed to what his
landlady was saying.
Three days and nights interviewed
without an encounter of the two would
be hermits. Once Orvile came upon an
easel down in the orchard He paused
before ii for some time. lost in adml-
ration of the talent displayed. Then he
walked on to the river That night he
was unable to write. Memories he was
striving to stifle were awakened by
the bit of landscape he had viewed.
The next morning as he was seated
at his writing table in the cabin max
ing heroic efforts ts concentrate his
thoughts on his work, he heard the
sound as of some one running. He
went to the door and saw a young s4rl
carrying a tin pail filled with artists
materials running toward the cabin in
great alarm.
"Oh," she gasped, with half sob.
'save me. He'll follow me In herev'

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.

The commissioners of Anoka count!
ave taken a step forward for good
roads. They have ordered the Dur.
chase of split log drags for each town
ship in Anoka county. y number OF
them have been used in this section
with excellent results. one o, the
finest pieces OF road in this vicinity is
that leading to st. Augusta, which
was made by a couple OF farmers uH
der contract with one of these drags.
The Rockville road is another high
way that shows that these drags Wh"n
intelligently used, make roads that
are a pleasure to drive over. once a
road is shaped UP, ii can be kept in
good condition at less cost and labor
by these dragS than by any other i'm
plement that has been used up TO this
time. The cost is very small and
there is no occasion for towns or
counties buying expensive machinery
TO build or maintain dirt roads.-St.

MAKE 1T YOURSELF
Tells Our Readers How To Mix Best
Rheumatism Cure

A ~well.knowu authority On Rheu-
matism gives the readers OF a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare ~ home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, on. half
ounce, Compound Kargon, one ounce;
COMPOUND Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a tcaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states thai the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be
ing Of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for "A few days, Is said to over
come almost any case Of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
turing the stomach. While there are
many sO-called rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some OF which
do give relief, few really give perma-
ncnt results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of this
neighborhoOd ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.
