"Nthildhood must have been a dreary
time when Lady Burton was a little
girl. The only times we we're allowed
down stairs" she says in her reminis-
cences, were at two o'clock luncheon
Tour dinner), and to dessert for about
quarter of an hour If our parents

mate friends. On these occasions / was
dressed in white muslin and blue rib
bons, and Theodore. my stepbrother,
in green velvet, with turnover lace col
lar after the fashion OF that time. We
were not allowed TO speak unless spo-
ken to; we were not allowed to ask
for anything unless it was given to us.
We kissed our fathers and mothers
hands and asked their blessing before
going upstairs, and we stood upright
by the side of them all the time we
were in the room. In those days there
was no lolling about. 10 Tommy-keep-

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
THE MIDDLE HORSE.

A farmer, blowing with three
horses hltched abreast, noticed
that the middle horse became
tired and exhausted long before
either of its mates. As the AMI
NAL was the equal in every way
Of the other two, he was puzzled
as to the cause Of It's not being
able to stand the same amount Of
work. He finally observed, how
ever, that as they dreY the pillow
along the three horses held their
noses close together, and with
the result that the middle horse
was compelled to breathe the ex-
pIred air from Its fellows. The
farmer then procured a long
Jockey" stick which he fastened
with straps to the bits Of the out
side horses. The device worked
perfectly; for given lite rishtful
share Of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount Of work AID with no
greater fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like the mid
die horse; they do not get their
rIghtful share Of fresh, pure air.
And this Is why they are not able
to perform as much work nor Of as
good a quality as they would 9TH
erwlse be able to do.

HURTING CAPITOL WORK.
Governor Donaghey Urges Commis-

Governor Donaghey Urges commis-
 sion to the Limit.
 Hurry" was the slogan of the members of the state capitol con- mission at it's regular monthly meet ing, when superintendents, architects, engineers and contractors were called into conference with the commission and urged to hurry the work on the new capitol along as fast as possi- ble. Nothing but routine business was transacted by the commission. A number of bills were slowed.
 Governor Donaghey stated that the commission is doing everything pos sible to push along the work on the capitol. The date for the awarding of the contract for the completion of the building has already been post poned until November l, because of the failure of the architects to have she plans ready in time, and if pos sible the commission desires to make up for that lost time.
 Hull lS IuS SONSluO D WOlO CF- cry time he visits the new capitol building, and hurry" it is. Every effort is being put forth to get all material on the ground and get the building in shape to award a con- tract. Nothing is being sighted. The governor has freq>h ntly laid empha- sis on the need of proper construc- tion, but he believes that speed and care can go hand in hand.

LOW COLONIST FARES TO THE
 MEeT AND NORTHWEST.

Union Pacific Passenger Depart ment announces that Colonist Fares will be in effect from Sept. Is to Oct. IS, 1909, to all points in the West and Northwest.
 This year the West looks more promising than ever. Now is the time to secure land at low prices, and, at the same time, to visit the many inter- esting points in the West and North west, at which liberal stopover ar engagements may be made.
 A better estimate of raw lands can be made now than formerly, because these lands are in proximity to new farms that are producing wonderful crops.

cUTICURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
 Could Not Wear Shoes Because
Of Bad Scaling and Itching.

"I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the re- moval of noxious weeds from the edge of a river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night I cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days could put on my boots and in less than three weeks I was free from the con- founded itching. Capt George P. Bliss, Chief of Police, Morris, Manitoba, Mar. 20, 1907, and Sept 24, 190S."

ANOTHER RAILROAD SUIT.
Effort Will Be Made to Get Away
 From Two Cent Law,

-hoie Vtll oO MduC to 1CI AWdy
 From Two Cent Law.
 With the filing in the federal cir cult court of a suit for an injunction against the two cent passenger act of the legislature of 1907 and the standard freight distance tariff No. 8 of the railroad commission, the Mis- souri & North Arkansas railroad has taken stand practically the same as that of the Iron Mountain and the Cotton Belt. The railroad commits. sion has been formally notified of the intended suit.
 At present the Missouri & North Arkansas has in effect the two cent rate and the freight tariff No. 3 of the railroad commission. The effect of the suit, if successful, will be to permit the Missouri 6 North Arkan- sas to put in the same passenger and freight rates as are now in effect on the Iron Mountain and the Cotton Belt.

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing woman postmaster does not belong to America, nor is the employment of women in the postal service a new idea. As early as 154S woman post master was appointed to look after the mails of Braine le Comte, an i'm portant town of France In the try ing times of the Thirty Years war, the principal office in the postal serv- ice of Europe was held by woman, Alexandrine de Rue. From 1928 to 1646 she was in charge of the mails of the German empire, the Neither lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She was known as master general of the mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey was the first to hold a place in the postal department. She had charge of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury. A half century afterward Lydia Hill was placed in charge of the post office in Salem, Mass.

The Doctors, Orders.

A lady whose husband seemed to be doing little but lie in the hammock and eat apples, was asked by a sym pathetic neighbor what the trouble with him was. Doctors" she replied, sadly. No, he hasn't come into for tune." A writer in To-Day's Magazine tells the story.
 You see," explained the wife, "he's been having some sort of matter with his stomach, and he consulted two dif- ferent doctors about it. One told him to eat a ripe apple every hour, and the other said to rest an hour after eating. So he's trying to do both."

MUSH HOUR ON THE PHONE
Sweethearts Select the Time Between Eight and Nine O'clock in

The crusty man was hopping mad.
 Cant get a telephone" he said. Every booth in the place is occupied and has been occupied for the last half hour I never heard so many long-winded conversations going on at one time."
 Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening"" volunteered the opera tor, sweetly, there are more overtime telephone conversations registered than in any other in the 24."
 What is the cause of it?" snapped the crusty man.
 ''Sweethearts," said the girl For various reasons He and She cannot meet every evening, so on the off nights they satisfy their longing by talking over the telephone It takes a long time to say all the things they want to say. Under the circum- stances other people ought to be patient"
 "Sweethearts! Humph!" scoffed the crusty man, and he didn't look pa tient, not one bit.
