known after reaching this city, but

The barn on the place Of G. s.
Haines, near Horton, was struck by
, lightning on Saturday evening and
burned to the ground. Mr. Haines was
milking his cows in the lean-to when
The bolt descended. He was momentar-
lily stunned, but without knowing that
the barn had been fired, he drove out
the cows. Following them into the
open air he Immediately discovered
that the hay in the loft was all ablaze.
He at once devoted himself to getting
his horses out of the main part of the
balm and succeeded in doing SO, but
had no time to save anything else.
The loss included his buggy and har-
ness, some twenty tons OF hay and
considerable grain, besides other things
used in the equipment of a barn. His
insurance is confined to $500 on the
building, which will not half cover that
loss alone The same stroke of light

COMPACT LITTLE Belgium.

One Can Go from Anywhere 10

What I particularly like about the
kingdom of Belgium is It's compactness'
Everything lies. so to speak rignt UNI

Anywhere to Anywhere Else IN aDou'

Bookman. OF course, this In ltseil
would be of no especial consequence IL
there were little to see and 10 excite
YOUR Imagination. But every lncn oi
Belgian territory teens with memories
and associations of Incompatible rich
ness. The present kingdom Is purely
modern creation. On Its soil, now
ever, there have been wrought ou'
some of the most tremendous cataclys-
mic episodes of history. The Roman
legions thundered over Its woo0ec
slopes. 1t drank the blood OF unnum'
bered patriots under Spanish rule. II
witnessed the barbarities of Alva ana
his black-browed torture-mongers. 1t
saw, upon the field Of Waterloo the
downfall of the most marvellous man
who ever trod the earth and who
forced the haughtiest Of kings and
emperors to become his lackeys. ana
yet all this is but small part OF what
Belgium brings to mind. Every city
street, every gabled mansion. almost
every farmhouse that you pass I'M
thinkingly, is linked with some tradi-
ton or with some familiar name be-
longing to the imperlshable records OF
craftsmanship or scholarship or art
Infinite treasure in a little room
the well-worR phrase might properly
be made the motto Of a country which
of all the countries in the world is the
most charming and, II 1 may use the
adjective, the most lovable.
Were 1t only a question OF compact
ness, some of these things might be
said of Holland. But, unfortunately,
In order to see Holland 1t is necessary
to have some sort of contact with the

THE WELL DRESSED MAN.

Possession of Many Suits Doesn't
EntitIe One to that Distinction.
Wall streets reported rivalry In the
selection Of the best dressed man IL
very interesting as an experiment,
says Harpers Weekly. Eighty-three
and seventy-six, respectively, are said
to be the numbers of the suits of
clothes possessed by two of the com
petitors. The mere accumulation,
though, Of articles Of dress is no point
gained. A man may have suit for
each day in the year and not find
three that look well ON him. AnJ one,
indeed, who has the knack OF wearing
clothes and is prepared for an ex-
pendlture Of $1,5OO annually, may
safely enter into competition with the
millionaire whose wardrobe knows no
limits. Fashion leaders OF the past
have seldom had the wealth Of their
associates.
An estimate of what the well-to-do
society man disburses yearly on his
dress has recently been made out by
woman who maintains that men
spend just as much this way as
women. Eleven thousand three hun
dred dollars is her estimate, obtained
through different firms that each SIM.

What Is the secret OF the well dress

extra study in preparing for a diff

not uncommonly bring on an attack of

There are various kinds of tonsilll-

similar in the beginning. The patient

high, the throat Is dry, swallowing Is
painful, there is often more or less
earache, and the patient seems to be
seriously Ill. Suppuration may or may
not occur. The pain and throbbng
are most severe when 1t does.
The attack lasts usually from two or
three days to a week, and Is apt to
terminate quite suddenly, although If

ional difficulties have resulted from
the legacy tax law enacted by the last
legislature. The first protest is con-
tanned in a letter to Governor Mead
from the acting secretary of state,
transmitting a copy ola note from the
German charge d'affaires in regard to
the law providing for the collection Oh
g tax of 25 per cent On legacies TO
heirs who are aliens or non-residents
of the United States, while only per
cent and per cent are collected from
non-alien heirs. The German govern
ment contends that the discrimination
should not apply to its subjects. as the
law conflicts with the consular conven-
ton of December II, 1871, entered into
between the United States and Ger
many which provides that I'm all sue

contracting parties shall pay In the
