Counsel wanted an explanation, but
could not obtain it, and later a member
of one of the tongs in the corridor was
asked for a reason.
Don't know why a gun is used in
that manner was the response, unless
it insures more secrecy than the Amer

may wrap the gun in the folds of his
sleeve, leaving only the barrel hole free

Rahv a Lottery Prize

The women of Paris, Bourbon county,
Kentucky, are leading revolt against
unique lottery. The proposal of Man
ager jackson of the Paris Opera house
to give away real live baby to the
patron of his place Of amusement who
draws a lucky number, has stirred in
tense indignation among matrons and
spinsters alike and these have enlisted
the men of the town in a combined eff
fort to thwart the theater manager S
plan.
Jackson obtained the baby from its
mother, who is too poor to maintain it.
He refuses to divulge her name for fear
of making her a victim of public indigna-
ton. Every person who buys a ticket
for the play during the present week re-
ceives a coupon bearing number. Next
Saturday night the manager expects to
have an overlooking audience when he
will bring the baby to the stage with
the winning number pinned to its
clothes and call on the winner to claim
the prize.
The officer of the Humane society has
been notified by the indignant women
and has informed them that if jackson
persists in carrying out his programme
he will arrest him in the presence of the
theater-going crowd.

Thunder and Milk.

To many persons the curdling of mill
in a thunderstorm is mysterious ant
unintelligible phenomenon. Yet, accord.
ing to scientists, the whole process is
simple and natural Their claim is that
milk, like most other substances, con-
tians millions of bacteria. The milk bac-
terra that in a day or two under natural
conditions would cause the fluid to sour
are peculiarly susceptible to electricity.
Electricity inspirits and invigorates
them, as alcohol, cocaine or strong tea
affects them. Under the currents infiu-
ence they fall to work with amazing ener-
gy, and instead of taking a couple of
days to sour the milk they accomplish
the task completely in a half hour. With
principles to sour the freshest milk.

Uses Dog Teams In Church Work.

Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, who has
supervision over the Episcopal missions
in the interior of Alaska, is staying
for few days at the Lincoln hotel be-
fore he goes to Richmond, Va, to at
tend the general convention of his
church. He will spend the winter in the
United States, and purposes returning
to his work next spring. Travelling by
dog team in winter and by steamboat IN
summer, the work of Archdeacon Stuck
in the north has good deal Of the siren
uous life in it. Last winter he travelled
more than 5000 miles by dog team, Wis
tied the missions under his jurisdiction,
establishing missionary outposts and do
ing frontier work for the cause of the
church.
One of the most arduous of his trips
was made last winter, when he jour
neyed 1900 miles over the trackless snow
to establish mission at Koyukuk.
Tanana was the first mission visited.
Going up the Yukon river, Archdeacon
Stuck stopped at Circle for a short time,
and then doubled back to Fort Yukon.
Then he went up the Porcupine to Ram
part house, returned to Fort Yukon and
assembled the Chandlar. He crossed over
the Allakaket by the way of Bettles.-

TT SEEMED INCURABLE.

Body Raw with ACKNOWLEDGMENT
from Hospitals HopeIess-Cuti-
cura Remedies Cured Him.
From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in it's
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted From
each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy,
but had gotten almost past hoping for
a cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set of Cuticura Remedies. The result
was truly marvellous, and to-day he is
perfectly cured. Mrs. Lily II lge, Cam

SOUTHERN OREGON.
Where Snug Fortunes Literally Grow on
Trees,

In the Rogue river valley in southern
Oregon, f. II. Hopkins, in 1907, made
a profit of $4,000 off 16 acres of winter
Nelis pears-$11S7.5O an acre. So
writes II. S. Gray in the Technical
World Magazine. In the same valley
G. II. Hover bought 10 acres of pear
orchard at $500 an acre. Fifteen
months later the crop brought him
$4,000.
Eight years ago J. L. Dumass set out
SO acles of apples near Dayton in the
Walla Walla district of southeastern
Washington. In the summer of 1907 he
bought so acres of apple orchard adjoin-
ing his property, at an investment of
$4,000. The apples he picked from
these so acres realized $4,000 return
to the owner of $4,000.
The statements are incOntrOvertible,
but you instantly demand: What is the
explanationw
A climate and soil that are capable Of
rearing such monsters as the redwood
trees and the sequoins, which render
measurements of vegetable growth in
other parts of this country puny and
scant, account in part for these bewil-
dering figures.
But there are obscure valleys, narrow
and diminutive. mere pockets, between
huge mountains, where in the past no
plant worthy of cultivation has found so
much as root-hold. And it it in many
lust such spots as these that the returns
per acre are the hugest. Irrigation, in
such cases. is the remaining factor that
explains the DISQUALIFICATION, which
brings to the barren soil, full of wonder

much flesh and often wondered why
was always so pale, thin and weak.

condition that ] could hardly take suf-
ficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time was drinking cof-
fee, didn't think 1 could do with

after a while I came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give it up and try Postum.
