Al the last session of congress there was
a very close division on an Important
measure that was pending. A western
member was fighting the bill with all OF
the vigor at his m and his success
depended absolutely on his presence at his
post. A clever member Of the opposition
devised a scheme whereby the troublesome
man could he lured away. Accordingly, on
the morning OF the day the vote was to be
taken a telegram was sent to the hotel Of
the fighting member. 1t read: Come home
at once. Your wife is dangerously IN"
The congressman glanced at it, read il
carefully two or three ines. and then
started toward the capitol. The perpetrator
of the scheme asked the congressman what
the telegram contained. He showed It to
him.
What! gasped the inquirer and In the
face OF that, are you going to the capitol?"
II am was the cool response.
But don't you feel worried about your
wife,"
"Not in the least, was the reply.
Why asked the other.
Because" replied the fighting member.

"7he Blood is The Life"

Science has never gone beyond the above simple
statement of scripture. But it has Illuminated that
statement and given it a meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is " bad " or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected,
and many an evil deed or impure thought may be
directly traced to the impurity of the blood.
Foul impure blood can be made pure BY the
use Of Dr. Piene's Golden Medical Discovery.

After that the cat seemed very unhap-

ceived considerable sympathy
One day shortly after her kittens
were taken from her young squirrel
which had fallen from its nest in the
hollow of tree was found and taken
to the cat with the idea that it would
be a dainty morsel to tempt her ap.
petite.
Instead of bouncing upon it cat fash
ion she took the young squirrel to the
box where she had so recently moth.
cred her own young and there be.
slowed upon the squirrel all the affec.
ton she had previously given to her
kittens.
Stranger still, says writer in
Country Life in America, in about two
hours the old cat had hunted out the
squirrels nest in the tree some dis.
lance away and carried the remainder
of the young squirrels in her mouth,
one at time, to her box in the house.
Then until the squirrels were nearly
full grown the cat watched over them
with all the solicitude that is possible
for any animal mother to show, even
providing nourishment for them in ex-
aetly the same manner that she had
