SEEK TRUE FRIENDS.

One good friend is worth a dozen acquaintances It is the kind of in- dividuals We attract rather than great numbers. Strive to be splen- did and charming. It is worthier ambition than the endeavor to be popular It is not necessary to seek friends; if you are interesting and bright and cheerful you will be sought after. A host of acquaint- ances, like riches and silver, often cause more worry than joy. If you have one or two faithful comrades who will love you for your virtues and smile kindly at your faults, you are truly blessed.

PATHS PARROT.

Mime. Adelina Patti, staying a few years ago in the fall in New York, heard of wonderful talking parrot. one Jumbo. Forthwith she bought him at the uncOnscionable price of $1,000 Once in her pos session, Jumbo did not open his beak. Every blandishment failed, and at length she gave him up as hopeless. Then one morning the diva awoke with severe sore throat She was engaged to sing at the opera on the same night. and, nat urally, in great trepdation sent off for d throat specialist. Jumbo. whom she had quite forgotten, remained to all appearance asleep on his perch. As the door opened, however, and the specialist stood on the threshold, before ever Patti could open her lips, Jumbo Tapped his wings in great excitement. "Oh. doctor" he croaked, II m so sick !" Jumbo still lives, but that was the first and last time since Mime. Patti became possessed of him that he deigned to speak.

MADE THE PROBLEM SIMPLE.
One Woman's Great Scheme tor Carrying Umbrella and Suitcase
 at Same Time.

A suitcase alone Is more or less a burden to carry, and if you have an umbrella too you have more than anybody can carry conveniently, and in some circumstances the two might handicap you seriously, as, for in- stance, in boarding a train but here was a woman going travelling and carrying both who when the time came was enabled to get rid of her umbrella completely and vet to carry it along, says the New York Sun.
 When this woman had come into the railroad station she set her suit case on a seat and then calmly she unscrewed the tip of her umbrella, removing it entirely, and then she slipped a catch on the umbrella handle and doubled the handle back on the ribs. thus altogether reducing the umbrellas length by about a foot. Then she opened the suitcase and put her umbrella inside of that Laid diagonally it went in easily; it was of the folding variety.

Seaweeds abound especially in warm waters, and are widely distrib- uted. Many of them are of delicate and beautiful form and brilliant color, and some attain gigantic size as the floating Macrocystis, which may reach length of 700 feet, and another species (Lessonia), which forms submarine forests. Many species abound in gelatin, and some are used for food by animals, and even by man, as the familiar carra green, or Irish moss. The larger varieties were formerly used in the manufacture of kelp.

RETARD PROGRESS OF MEXICO
immense Landed Estates, Which Own- CTS Refuse to Subdivide, Are
 Hindrance to Country.

It has been said that 400 families in Mexico control the bulk of the land. We know that two, those of Terazzas and Del Rio, own between some 10,000,000 to 12,000,O00 acres in the states of Chihuahua and Du- rango. The Terazzas estate is of 1000, 900 acres. On it a herd of 15,- 900 cattle is maintained. Express trains on the Central are hours in crossing it. and several railroad sta- tons are located within its borders These enormous "haciendas' con- tribute practically nothing to the support of Mexico, and, because their owners will not subdivide them into workable units, it is difficult to ob- tain the proper sort of immigration on which Mexico would flourish agriculturallv. It is the idea of the advanced party in Mexico to tax these lands both for the revenue which they ought to be yielding, but, more directly, to impel the ''hacien
 dos" to split up their estates. Mexi- co will never make much of show ing until this ancient form of land ownership is abandoned.-Cha F. Speare, in the Review of Reviews.

KINGS ROYAL GERMETUER
Kills Germs; Cures Disease; Removes
 the Cause.

Do not forget that Germetuer is diff ferent and unlike other remedies. It contains ingredients that were unused until employed by Dr. King in com pounding the Germetuer. It is its un- likeness and uniqueness that gives it its distinctive character. If you have tried all of the remedies known to pharmacy and have not yet tried the Germetuer. there is still hope for you. Many of its remark able cures have been persons who have tried all other meth ods and means before using the Germe- tuer. The hopeless cases are the ones that demonstrate the superior value of the Germetuer.
 Its success is due to the fact that it succeeds. Nothing succeeds like sue cess. If you want to succeed i'll recov- ering your health don't delay longer but try this successful remedy.

OUlDA ON THE WOMAN PROBLEM,

A unique and interesting feature of
Lippincott's Magazine for May is the
first OF two papers which Louise de Ia
Rance, better known as Ouida, the
brilliant novelist, wrote more than
twenty-five years ago and sold with the
stipulation that they should be with
held from the public until after her
death She passed away in Viarreggio,
Italy, January 25th, 1908, and the pub
fishers are now free to give to the pub
lie these extraordinary documents
which, in her characteristic chirogra-
ply, remained in the EDITORS safe so
many years-passing uninjured through
the fire which destroyed the great
Lippincott plant in 1899. The first pa
per Is quite prophetic of the worldwide
interest now obtaining in the question
of woman's suffrage. The second will
present n serious and startling philoso-
ply of an evil as widespread as il is
appalling. So apropos are both these
papers to conditions at the present time
that the thought is pretty certain to
occur to the reader that their famous
author was indeed gifted with the
spirit of prophecy.

3- Because l may miss exactly the

me from the tea last Monday, nor the
reception last Tuesday, nor the dinner

Thursday, nor the theatre last Friday,
nor the ball game last Saturday, nor
the store any day in the week.
"6. Because an example which can
not stand little wetting is Of little
account.

who fears the cloud will soon fear the

WHEAT CORNERS vs.. THE FARMER.

l notice that bill may be introduced
in Congress in consequence of the re.
cent operations in wheat, to prohibit
corners on food stuffs.
We hope that such bill may be in
troduced; and friends, If such a bill is
introduced, urge upon your representa-
tive TO support same.
Just a few weeks ago a Mr.. Patten
cleared up a small fortune on wheat
corners.
The past week this same man cornered
5000, 900 bushels more, paying as much
as $l.15s per bushel for July wheat.
If this cornering business in the
wheat market continues you and 1 will
have to fall back on the rule of olden
times-eat corn bread ali week and
wheat bread Sunday morning. We
have becme SO used to having wheat
bread when we want it that it would
be little hard to fall back on the old
custom.
fCongress should pass law to prohib-
it these corners on food stuffs, it would
not affect the farmer, as he is willing
to dispose of his wheat at maximum
price.
Would it not be wise to write your
congressman regarding this bill, dear
people? Show him the necessity of his
able support of a law to prohibit these
corners on wheat as well as other food
stuffs. Ell.
