RAILROAD MAN
Didn't Like Being Starved.

A man running on railroad has to
be in good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run

a railroad mans appetite and diges-
ton are matters of Importance, as the
clear brain and steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the proper digestion of food.

She Shattered His Magnificent Dreams
Of the Future.

She was a Manhattan miss of four
and a half years, as dainty and demure
bit of the eternal feminine as ever
coquetted with the lordly male. He had
Just passed his fifth birthday, strong
and sturdy, with the self reliance and
protecting spirit Of the truly mascu-
line. For eight weeks they had been
playmates, romping and bubbling over
with life, and surprising all by their
freedom from childish strife. Now he
was going away. His father was dead
and his mother had made arrange
ments to place him in school.
When l come back from school I'm
goin' to bring you lots O. things" he
said, as he kicked at the base of one
of the big stone posts in front of the
apartment house.
What are you going to bring me?"
she asked with a visible increase in
interest.
I'm goin' to bring you a horse"
"Oh, horse!"
AN carriage"
"Oh, won't that be nice!" Clapping
of hands.
"An' big house"
"Oh-ee!"
"An' a motorized"
"Yes," she applauded family, "and
won't you bring me some candy?"
He pondered heavily,
mo. l don't b'lieve I can," he hesi-
tated. "I'll have to ask mamma to get
that. She's got all the pennies"
Thus did the insignificant concrete
problem of the present shatter the
magnificent dreams of the future.
I'D lots rather have candy" said
the little maid.

SeattIe's War on Rats.

I'VE have begun arresting people In
Seattle who fail to comply with re-
Gently passed ordinance relating to
rats" said DR.. S. ]. Fowler of the state
of Washington. Just before l left
home two butchers were hailed into
court for violating the law, in that
they had failed to make their premises
ratproof.
After the law was passed the police
went about informing all market men,
grocers and dealers in food products
that they must fortify their houses
against the rodents or else be liable
to arrest. The purpose fas to cut off
the rats from their sources of sus-
tenance, and thereby make easier their
determination. The butchers arrested
did not try to make their places of
business secure against the entrance
of the pests, and they will no doubt
have to suffer.
I'VE have slain tens of thousands
of the rats since the campaign of de-
struction began and are beginning to
breathe more freely, for at one time it
was the fear of our medical men that
they might spread the bubonic plague
that had appeared in San Francisco
and cause frightful sacrifice of hu-
man lives.

Owe Recovery to Cuticura.

"In 1884 my grandson, babe, had

the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf-
fering, 1 recommended Cuticura and
in few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. a few years
ago I contracted eczema, and became
an intense sufferer. A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,

BREAKING THE COLT.
Begin Early and Be Very Patient In
the Work.

When a colt is coming two years
old l put biting harness on it and
turn it out in a lot, away from other
horses and colts, says writer in
Farmers Review. then train him to
be guided by the use of lines run
through rings low down on wide
strap surcingle, which l use for this
purpose. l then drive the colt around
the lot for short time. When l de
sire the colt to turn / pull one line
firmly, at the time tapping the colt
gently on the opposite side with a
light whip. / then train him to back
and also TO stop by the use of the
word whoa.
then hitch the colt in with an old
steady horse that is not afraid of any
thing. / wish to say that colt never
should be broken with blind bride.
Colts that are being broken should be
permitted to see everything that is
going on around them. When some
thing occurs and the colt sees that the
mate it is being driven with is in no
way concerned, it quickly gets over
its fright.
There is a great difference in breeds
as to the readiness with which the
colts become trained to daily work.
find the Percheron by all odds the
easiest horse to train. A Hambleton-
ian, 1 think, requires more time and
patience to train, than any other
breed with which 1 have had expert
ence. The Hambletonian is naturally
nervous and skittish. / have broken
and trained great many of them, but
have never found one that did not
have to watch very closely. They are
always on the lookout for something
strange.
On the part of the trainer, the most
essential elements are patience, firm
ness and good judgment.

CHOKING of Animals.

! Hardly farmer has not had more
or less experience with animals be-
ing choked. This can be remedied to
a very great extent, or can be re.
lieved. While animals will get choked
once in while it can be helped. The
simplest thing to do which may save
the life Of a valuable animal and will
not hurt it, is to insert piece of COM
mon rubber hose about six feet long
down the cows neck; perhaps it
would be we'll to hold the animals
mouth open with a cord until you
strike the apple, or whatever it is that
chokes her. Often the apple is so
swelled, or so firmly wedged, as to be
difficult to stir. Run buggy whip
down this rubber pipe. The pipe will
fit against that apple, so there will be
no danger of making any hole in the
animals gullet. Press the end OF the
whip carefully down until 1t reaches
the stomach. The gas will escape
quickly through the pipe and the ami
NAL will be relieved.-Dr. E. e. Tower.

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought In Irishman's Mind AZ
ter the Accident.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time l settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher If he gets sheep
killed, / think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want Ito
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home. from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad" The nearest
railroad is three miles away he
learned. Well, WE'LL he commented.
I knew 1t hit us pretty hard, but l
didn't suppose it knocked us three
miles from the track"

a Busy Locality.

Jack is the eight-year-old son of a
Philadelphia suburban merchant, and
not long ago made his first visit to
New York with his father. The
strenuosity of the big town got on
the boys nerves, and by bedtime he
was about run down. He tumbled
into bed quite regardless of certain
duties, but his father was more OBJ
servant.
Don't forget to say your prayers,
my boy" he said.
20, what's the use, pop?" respond
ed the boy. Gods too busy over here

The father was shocked, but under
the circumstances he thought it best
not to urge his son.-Lippincott's

After This Who Can Doubt the Power
of Lover

George had been away on business
for a whole long week, and during
that time he had sent Clara ten let
ters, six letter-cards and AZ picture
postcards.
Why, then, was there a touch OF
coldness in her greeting when he flew
to her arms on his return?
Dearest" he whispered, what is
the matter?"
"Oh, George" she said, you didn't
send kiss in your ninth letter."
"My precious" he replied, that
night had steak and onions for din
ner, and you wouldn't have liked a
kiss after onions, would you?"
And, such is the unfathomable pow.
er of love, she was satisfied, and nes-
tied to him.

''Hear about the hard luck of Dan
Moulton, the Stanford trainer?" in
quired one alumnus of another, COM

NO; what happened?"
well, Dan, you know, used to be
a professional foot racer. Went all
over the world when in mis- athletic
prime, sprinting for money against all
comers. They say he won 263 races;
never was beaten but twice in all his
career. One of the fellows that beat
him Dad met later in another race
and outran him. Dad was after the
other fellow for long while to get
return race. But the fellow beat Dad
again"
"How was that?"
"Died before Dad got another crack
at him."-San Francisco Chronicle.

Good Hoas Quick Money.

Good hogs are quickly turned into
money. There is little reason for dis
putting the value of hog raised for
pork. The boards of trade quote pork.
and that brings the pig into the same
category as wheat, which is about the
same as money, If it is at point
OF railroad transportation. The hog is
the more moneymaker because he
is easily reared and within year
from birth is ready for the market.
He can make use of great variety of
food and make more meat out of that
food than any other animal.
