Vanity of Men,

many, many instances of the foolish
vanity of males.
'"Take the case of bees" one said
Because the queen bee rules the hive,
because she is the absolute mistress
of millions of subjects, man up to a
few hundred years ago denied her sex.
He called her the king bee.
"Pliny wrote somewhere, The king
bee is the only male, all the rest being
females And Moses Rusden, beekeep-
er to Charles H., stoutly denied, in or.
der to please his royal master, that the
large bee, the ruler of the hives, be-
longed to the gentler sex.
"Even Shakespeare couldn't bear to
think that the bee of bees, the largest
and wisest and fairest, the hives alb

called her male. Don't you remem-

Drank and Remembered.

A porter in big New York ware
house in Greenwich street was recent
ly discharged for getting drunk and los
ing valuable parcel. The discharge
sobered him instantly, coming as sud-
den hard shock. He said he would
take the oath never to touch liquor
again, but his pleadings for reinstate-
ment were unheeded. He searched
everywhere for the parcel, but could
not recollect what disposition he had
made Of it. OF his honesty there had
never been a question in twenty years.
Overcome by the loss of his place, he
got violently drunk and while in this
condition recollected where he had left
the parcel and went and recovered it

Rheumatism Cannot Be Cured
Unless Uric-O Is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and Paraly-
sis Are Caused BY Poisonous Uric
and Rheumatic Acids.

The rheumatic person is sceptical re-
garding the claims of almost any re-
medy advertised as cure for rheu-
matism and no one can scarcely blame
him for doing 80. All the plasters and
liniments combined never actually
cured case Of rheumatism. They may
relieve 1t In one quarter but 1t is sure
to break out somewhere else. The
only true way to cure rheumatism Is
to drive 1t from the system. for as long
as the uric and rheumatic acid remains
In the blood, one is never entirely free
from the trouble. Uric.O seeks out
the rheumatic poison In the blood,
muscles and kidneys, renders 1t inert
and harmless and drives it out OF the
system. 1t is composed OF perfect anti
dotes for the rheumatic acid poison In
the system, and the secret Of its won
derful success lies in the fact that IL
is designed to cure rheumali-n only.

Casualties Expected,

During one of Speaker Cannon's bit
ter political fights in his district in Illi-
nois the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics. Among other things friends
of Uncle Joe were summarily dismiss
ed from positions they held in the pub
lie service. Some of his friends be-
came alarmed at this, and one of them
called on the speaker at his residence
and said, somewhat excitedly:
Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost
their positions In the postoffice. What
are we going to do about it?"
Uncle Joe took another puff at his
cigar and then answered, with benev-
olent smile: Nothing. If you go into
battle, you have got to expect to have

breeding Of horses for individual ex-
cellence of conformation, quality and
action Is carried to a greater degree
than IN any other state, and, contrary
to popular opinion, the most of the
men outside of the thoroughbred es-
Establishments who make their living
from horse breeding in Kentucky-in
the blue grass counties at least-are
breeding not for speed, but for type.
This has been going on for years and
for this reason the good, handsome
horses of Kentucky have usually been
appreciated, their history traced and
their descendants accounted for. If
the same careful attention to points
of conformation and action had been
shown fifty years ago by Morgan
breeders in New England and had
there been displayed the same enthu-
siasm for and loyalty to valuable
local type of horses there would now
be no necessity for government aid to
save the Morgan from destruction
II horsemen In the limestone sections
Of the corn belt had paid less atten-
tion to the speed records Of the stall
lions in their localities and more to
their individuality the carriage horse
work of the department Of agriculture
would be out Of place.
Specific work In horse breeding by
the United States government was
first made possible by the inclusion in
the appropriation act for the fiscal
year ended June 30 1905, of an item
Of $25,000 for experiments In animal
breeding and feeding In cooperation
with state agricultural experiment
stations.
The reasons for taking up the
breeding of carriage horses have been
fully set forth In various publications,
in articles for the press and In public
addresses, but recapitulation here
may not be out of order Briefly
stated, they were That carriage
horses are, as rule, the most valuable
class on the market, that as result
of the strong demand the supply was
gradually diminishing and that, not
withstanding all the importations Of
the carriage type from abroad, the
preferred horse was the American
horse. Most important of all, how
ever, was the feeling that steps
should be taken to correct the practice
of castrating valuable stations and
selling valuable mares for other than

The future farmer will subirrigate
his land and defy drought as well as
floods. He will become scientific
forester, and every farm will produce
wood and lumber as well as wheat
and apples. Women will work out
doors as heartily as men-in fact, they
will be the horticulturists and the
truck gardeners. There will be closer
relation between the producer and the
consumer, ignoring horde Of middle
men who frequently waste more than

valued not only for its gross weight
of products, but for its poems and its
