In the silence that followed, Felix
came forward
DO you believe this?" he asked
Whipple.

weary reply.
do you call it fair test of mans
affection for his betrothed or a ia
theirs. for his daughter, to give him
absolute proof of a thing?"
What do you mean?" demanded
Whipple.
DO you call it unfair to turn a joke
on an inveterate practical joker?-
Whipple glanced keenly at the three

Asberry, "but Nan is going back to
Chicago with me on the next train,
which leaves. believe, just two hours
hence"
'I'll never do It," walled Nan, sitting
down and burying her face in her
hands.
"Of course not. Well be married
and defy you to prevent it." Felix
glared at Asberry.
Now, Felix" interrupted Mr.. Whip
Pile, ARE you quite sure that would
be for the best? Had you not better

Proof nothing" snapped Felix.
Mans word is enough" Nan slowly
rose and went over to Asberry.

her arms about his neck. II am so

Whipple sprang out of his chair. Nan

Whipples eyes seemed starting out

Criticism Of New York Women.

first visit to New York city, says that
our women are the most awkward in

there Is no grace in their stride and

thing to their advantage by observing
the gait of women of London, and.
better yet, of Berlin and Paris.

The Sleeping Sickness.

The terrible sleeping sickness of
tropical Africa is discussed at length
in an article in Popular Mechanics.
The disease. which long baffied scien-
lists. is spread by the tsetse fly. a
bloodsucking. day flying insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at a
river crossing in the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly, If there is one in the vicinity. and
then, either silently or with a peevish
buzz, 1t makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives its stab.
The usual course Of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, n feverish
condition, lassitude and correspond
ing Discrimination to work. The facial
aspect changes. and II previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull. heavy and apathetic.
Later, trcmor in the tongue develops,

Great Is Advertising.

This talk on advertising bv the
Wichita (Kan.) Eagle will prove good
reading matter for the merchants OF
your town:
In no other country of the world can
so many people, able to read and write,
be found as in these United States of
America. In no other country of the
world can so many people, earnestly
endeavoring to advance themselves
morally. intelligently and financially.
be found as in these United States of
America.
What brought this condition about?
The public schools? Yes, in part.
But even more the newspapers and
magazines, of which 5000 are pub
Used in this country.
What makes the issue of sthese pub
lications possible? Advertising. With
newspapers and magazines would go
out of business entirely; the remainder
would be forced to eliminate their most
expensive and, therefore, most val
liable features. Some Que has said
that the advertiser has endowed lit
erature and art in America. Whoever
said it spoke wisely, for the statement
is true. The debt owed by America
to the advertiser is great one.
There are some points of interest
about the United States of America,
also about advertising. In no other
country of the world can an article of
general worth be brought into univer-
sal use so rapidly as in the United
States of America In no other coun-
try is it possible for tie purchaser so
easily to select the best and most suit
able of the articles which he is to pur-
chase as here. What makes this posi-
BILE? The answer is, advertising.
When speaking of the country's
great products they used to say that
cotton was king. Latterly corn has
worn the GRO xn.
Some day some wise man with II
strong and healthy imagination will
compute the amount spent in these
%, 900 newspapers and periodicals, in
bill boards, street cars. barn painting.
novelties. catalogues. exhibitions of all
kinds. and his figures will astound the
world.

Cause of Fatty Heart.

The great danger from obesity lies
in the liability of the IA, to invade the
cellular elements of the body. especial
ly the muscles. This produces fatty
degeneration of the muscular tissues.
which greatly weakens and impairs
their functional activity. When the
fat invades the tissues of the heart
muscles the disease known MS fatty
degeneration of the heart results. and
the patient is in serious danger When
ever a slight additional strain upon the
circulation results from undue excr-
else. excitement or other cause the
muscles interfere with the hearts ac-
ton. and 1t is liable to cease beating.
Anaemia and hysterin often are accom-
panimer q of obesity. Because of the
increased weight and difficulty of
moving about such patients are pre-
vented from taking an ordinary
amount of exercise. Often. too. there
are lassitude and a positive dislike
for muscular exertion of any kind

Hotel Grafters.

The proprietor of one of tie largest
hotels in New York, speaking of the
uses made by nonpaying customers of
his house, said to a rural guest few
DAYS ago: I'VE have IL large number of
patrons from whom we never collect
n cent, although we have no such
thing as free list. They come here
in the morning. pick up u CASTOR pa
per, which they read, keeping an eye
open for another, which they grab as
soon as it is dropped. After reading
awhile they stand at the ticker. often
giving long lectures to their fellows on
financial conditions and stock possi-
bilities. The overcoat becomes burden
some, and it is taken to the check
room, where its owner knows it will
be perfectly safe. Then. if they can
tear themselves from the ticker. let
tiers are written on our stationery.
They do not use our telephones be-
cause we charge an extra 8 cents for
the call. but they carry home matches,
toothpicks. blank cards and blotters
and use up the soap in our lavatories.
They also take generous nibbles of
the cheese and crackers in the cafe
The strangest part of all is this-that
the majority of this class are well to
do and highly respectable. and on that
account we do not shut them OUT

Monfrose Doctor Hurt
By Runoway Horse.

DR.. J. X. Allen met with slight ac-
cident Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock.
his horse bee ming unmanagcable and
partly dragging him some distance.
The doctor suffered a severe sprain Of
the right ankle. which necessitates his
using crutches several days.
DIR. Allen had just returned from a
long drive in the country ard his horse
had not been fed. The animal was
rather restless when the doctor alighi-
ed in front of his Office on Main street.
and attempted to start. The lines
caught the whip in such a manner that
it struck the horse with considerable
force. which caused it to become un-
manageable and started toward the
stable. The doctor was injured in at
tempting to hold the lines.

From Mediein. to the Drama.

The earlier part of Victorien Sar-
dou's career was beset with many
trials and difficulties His parents
wished him to take up a medical ca
reer. and he began his studies with
some zeal. The love of the drama,
however. was far greater than the
love of the pill box. and in the inter
val of the other work Sardou was
busy upon play. Life was strug-
gle for him, for he had little money.
though he managed to get journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
Income. His first play was a failure.
and Sardou rushed from the theater
vowing never to enter one again. He
fell seriously III, was nursed back to
health by Mile. de Brecourt, an ac-
tress who lived on n floor below. and
from that time his fortune was made.

President Taft Fauors
Forest Reservation.

Washington, April "a. President
Taft's entire sympathy with the for
est and conservation policies is an
nounced, aid stories that vast areas
are to be taken away from the nation
al forests are denied in a statement re-
garding the administration attitude,
issued today by Clifford Pinchot. Mr..
Pinchot says charges that the forests
contain great areas of agricultural
land are baseless and that any agri-
cultural land whatever found along
the boundaries of forests will be re-
stored to enry.
Mr. Pinchot's statement follows:
ANY statement that President Taft
is not in sympathy with forestry and
the conservation movement is without
foundation. On the contrary, | am
authorized by the president to deny
categorically the story that great areas
are to be thrown out of the national
forests by presidential proclamations.
The only possible basis for such a
rumor that / have been able to dis
cover lies in certain plans adopted by
the forest service months ago. Those
plans were in accord with lines of poll
cy long recognized and established.
They were approved by Secretary Will
son and they provided for a careful
examination and mapping of the bound
aries of the national forests and of
the character of the land, and the tim
ber and other growth, along these
boundaries.
Repeated charges. well known to
be baseless, have been made that the
national forests contain vast areas of
agricultural land Whatever agricul-
tural lands may be found along the
boundaries will be restored to entry,
for one of the strongest desires of the
forest service now and in the past is
that any agricultural lands which may
have been included in national forests
should be open to use for agricultural
purposes. Indeed, this is already pro-
vided for in the act of June II. 1906
The forest service undertook the
mapping of the national forest reserve
boundaries on its own initiative in the
regular line OF its work and in pursu-
ance Of regular plans laid years ego.
81 have been greatly interested tu'
not at all surprised by the persistent
circulation of the rumors. President
Taft's statement to me. coupled with
his authority to make it public. should
set them at rest at once and for all.
The present administration is in the
fullest sympathy with forestry and
conservation. Friends of these move
ments should recognize our obligation
to the president for his prompt and
direct support.
