made q profit of $4,000 last year
from a herd of sixty COWS kept at
her model dairy. She used this
money to maintain a free k~indegcr-

I became interested in the ques-

Mrs. Durand, recently, and the more

The outrages perpetrated upon the
people by careless and money grab
b1ng made my blood boil,
and made up my mind that would
snow them how to run q dairy and
MAKE money, and at the same time
make the dairy barn as clean and
Wnoieson1e as my own kitchen. And
am going to make my place beauti-

Mrs Chas. F. Joses and daughter, Miss
Lucie, had rather an unpleasant ex-
perience early last "Wednesday morning.
The ladies attended the o. E. S. chap
ter meeting Tuesday night and it was
long after midnight when the gathering
broke up and the ladies looked for their
horse and buggy, only 70 find that they
had disappeared AS all the halter was
gone, Mrs Joses surmised that he had
on two previous occasions united
securely knotted ropes while fastened in
the barn. Nothing daunted they started
to walk the mile and half or two miles
home as they could not remain in town
till daylight, thinking that the horse
had possibly reached home and was
waiting at the gate, or he might be
down somewhere on the road with a
smashed buggy and in need of assis-
lance. Sure enough the animal had
reached home and was trying to get in
to the barn lot when the ladies arrived,
but unfortunately the horse had crossed
the creek and the water was so high
they could not cross. However,
by calling repeatedly they aroused Mr.
JoseS, and he soon collared the runaway
and caused him to recross the creek for
the ladies. fhe next morning the track
showed that the animal had taken the
buggy over side hills and all sorts of
impossible ground without even breai;-
ing strap, while endeavoring to get
into the lot.-Citizen.
Last Sunday night thieves secured en-
trance through rear window into the
Utica saloon, from which place they
carried away cabinet of gold speci-
mems valued at SIS. From the saloon
cash drawer was also taken $40 in
money. This latter sum represented the
proceeds from the sale of tickets for
rattle of the cabinet, whici, belonged to
man named Earheart. formerly OF
Sheep Ranch. Nothing else was taken
from the saloon, as the cabinet and
money was evidently what the thieves
wanted. No clue has been secured as
to who the parties were. Angels Re-

Law and the Queen.
The quaintness Of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status of the queen Of England.
So far as her majesty's private bust
ness is concerned, she is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as a married woman at all. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope Of the mar
ried woman's property act. The idea
In all this is that affairs Of state con-
sumo all the time of the king. and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts in
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them. as any other
husband in the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt but
the queen can be. Should the king die.
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again. in case she
wished to. without the license of the
kings successor.-New York Tribune.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
It is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
