pleasure of living to see five gen.

about her. Her husband died in
the old co unity.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow. Thursday. Services will
be held at the house at II a. m. and
at the Swedish Mission church in

a Cruel Jest.

The only Welsllman I have found
with the slightest sense Of humor
says that the old families have a pro-
found veneration for their names and.
like the Spaniards. insist upon repeat
ing the entire inventory when called
upon. Some years ago, he says, an
Englishman was passing along the
highway on horseback when he heard
cry for help from behind hedge.
A weak and appealing voice answered
that he had broken his leg and wanted
help.
What is your name? Who are
you?"
"Hugh Ap Morgan Ap Howell Ap
Goranwy Ap Llywelyn Ap Gwalchmai
Ap Dyganvy."
"W'ell, since there is so many of you
dare say you can get along without
help retorted the Englishman and
put spurs to his horse.-William E.
Curtis in Chicago Record Eerald

Coffee end Ssditicn.

The coffee houses Of cur ancestors
were as fiercely attacked as are the
public houses Of modern England. For
many years the Tories clamored for
their suppression, and Lord Guilford,
the lord chancellor, declared that they
were nurseries Of idleness and prag-
maticanoss and hinder the consump-
ton of our native provisions. They
may be treated as common nuisances."
1t was suggested that they should be
closed on account Of their alleged Sc
ditious tendencies. but that some COM
pensation should be given to the pro-
prietors. Charles H. was at first in
clincd to favor this proposal. but when
it was pointed out to him that coffee
was an important source Of national
revenue be declined to interfere, and
proclamation against coffee houses
issued by the Tory government few
days later proved entirely ineffective.

forty men. have always thought that
we would have done better with fewer
either fewer or more We had too
many for skulking and too few to
make fight. We did make fight,
though, because we couldn't help our
selves.
1--WE met a Union man who had seen
General Jackson a few hours before,
md he gave us very good estimate
Of the number of the men he had with
him. He was marching up the valley.
What we had to do was to march up
the valley ourselves, but by another
route. The Union man agreed to pilot

work in transmitting the valuable in
formation we possessed.

and, since he knew the country better
than our chasers, put us on short cuts
and passes in the mountains that often
enabled us to distance our pursuers.
But what good did it do, since we
couldn't keep a northern course?
'At last by one of these cuts we left
our pursuers so far behind that they
couldn't strike us for at least an hour

them, but some thirty Of them got on

we came upon a ravine couple of
hundred feet deep and no way to

by hook Or by crook or be taken. As
to getting the horses over, that was
impossible. The captain looked about
for a way to cross. Seeing tall tree
leaning toward the chasm, he ordered
it cut down. We had nothing to cut
with except our sabers, and it was
probable that our chasers would come
up before we got it hacked through

DARIUS NEWMAN.

Again we are called upon to
chronicle the death of an old settler
and war veteran. Ihi, time the
last bugle call was sounded for Da-
rius Newman, of Roseville. He
passed away Friday morning, after
an illness of only about three
weeks. Old age was given as the
cause Of death, deceased reaching
within three years of the century
mark.
Darius Newman was born in the
town of Gorham, Ontario county,
New York, on the 28th day of April,
1872. In 1916, when the Mexican
war broke out, he enlisted, serving
as a private for some time. In
1858 he yielded to the call of the
west, coming to Wabasha county,
where he commenced farming.
Two years later he married Miss
Matilda jarrett, and together they
moved to Osakis, in 1864. After a
residence of four years there, they
moved to Roseville, where they
made their home ever since. Mrs.
Newman died years ago. Mr..
Newman leaves to mourn his death
two daughters, Mrs. Sidney Jones
of Hawick, and Mrs. Clara Berkey
who lives in one of the western
states, and two sons, Wesley, of
Holloway, and Charles, Of Velva,
N. D.
The funeral took place Sunday
afternoon, services being conducte d
by Rev. Stafford of the Paynesvil,e
M. E. church. Interment was
made in the Hawick cemetery.

ShoeinG the Geese,

Every year in December a goose fair
is held in Warsaw on a gigantic scale.
1t is estimated that on an average no
less than 5.C0O.OOo geese are driven to
the town and sold. These have TO
travel from 10 to 100 miles on foot.
Most of them come from the Wilma dis
trict. to the northeast of Poland. To
enable the birds to stand these long
journeys the geese are shod. The
method of shOeing them is simple and
interesting. They are made to walk
to and fro for Il time in melted tar.

What the Kidneys Do.
Their unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

iuST SuSSdoHI9 "Ofk NCSP8 70
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness. irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
