Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly from rheumatic gout in his latter days, and he walked stiffly and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make call. and be re- uained quite long time, so long that the horses got restiye and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauneefote left the hou< lhe carriage was not in front. and, Thinking there was some mistake ir his orders he started to walk to the embassy, which was only a square or two. But he had twlnges of his old enemy, and the pavements were icy. He was a large, heavily built man, and he feared a fall. While he was pondering over his dilemma along came young man in working clothes, and the British ambassador. after q courteous salutation, asked: My friend. will you walk beside me and help me home?

An Imaginative Statesman.

Imagination is the greatest moving force in the world. In saying this I am merely repeating a remark of Dis raeli's, and to prove the strength of his conviction will repeat story Mir. Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold a private view of their pictures before the public exhibition Disraeli, walk ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries, said, What strikes me most forcibly here is the lack of imagination" and he proceeded 10 enlarge upon the power of imagina- tion, declaring 1t to be the greatest force Tn the world. In responding to toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth Of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imagina- ton is the moving force in the world. Browning repeated Disraeli's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him. and he muttered, '"The devil"- John Trowbridge in Atlantic.

First Cantalever Brjdoe.

The first cantalever railroad bridge is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It is nearly one and half miles in length Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in its construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16,- 100000 and ffty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ol the bolts that were to complete the span. For time this was a puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

Pecatonica, Wis, Feb. 10, 1910: Fri
day, Feb. 4, at his home at Rewey, at
the age of "a, William Jones passed
away after an illness of six months.
Mr.. Jones was born at a place named
Star, near Bu1chygroes, /Penbrokshire,
South Wales, in the year 1886. His
parents were David John Jones and his
wife Sarah. He was one of seven chill
dren-fve sons and two daughters. He
came to this country in the year 1854,
accompanied by some of his brothers,
and made his home at Platteville for a
while, working at his trade as black

united in holy matrimony to Miss
Martha Davies, daughter of Jonathan

dren-two sons and three daughters were
born to them. His wife died Dec. 1868.
After that he moved from Gibsons

a few years later he traded it for farm

June 8, 1879 one of his sons died.
In the year 1902 he rented his farm
and moved to Rewey to spent the re-
mainder of his life. He was blessed

son, three daughters, one brother in this
country and one sister in Wales to sur
vive him. His oldest daughter is the
wife Of Mr.. James Griffith of the town

Mr.. Jones expressed strong hope in
Christ as his Savior and gave clear
testimony of his faith in Him. He was
hurled at Peniel cemetery the following

officiating. His brother Samuel died at
Platteville three weeks before him.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold could
be avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard Of. A cold
often forms a culture bed for germs of infecti-
Gus diseases. Consumption, pneumonia, diph-
liberia and scarlet fever, four Of the most dam
gerous and fatal diseases are of this class. The
culture bed formed by the cold favors the devel-
opment Of the germs Of these diseases, that
would not otherwise find Judgment. There Is
little danger, however, Of any of these diseases
being contracted when good expectorant cough
medicine like Chamherlain's Cough Remedy is
used. It cleans out these culture beds that
favor the development Of the germs Of these
diseases. That is why this remedy has proved
so universally successful In preventing pneu-
monia. It not only cures your cold quickly,
but mininizes the risk Of contracting these dam
gerous diseases. For sale by Metz's Pharmacy.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infammed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infiammed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an indamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

case of De afness caused by catarrh that

Boys Study Grains at State
University,

A class of 30 farm boys, 10 to IS
years of age, pursued the boys grain
course at the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin last week
This is the first time the course has
been given at the university, and great
interest was shown by the young people,
Two days were devoted to corn, and
two to barley and other small grains.
In the morning of each day the boys
listened to interesting addresses on
subjects of general interest relating to
farming, and later took up laboratory
work in testing grains and Judging
methods of culture.
Each day a visit of inspection was
made to other buildings of the univer-
sity, which gave the boys better idea
of what college education in agriculture
means. In the evenings they attended

Ny husband suffered for months from

Earring and jolting of cars seemed to
greatly aggravate the trouble. His
kidneys were very weak and seeing

relieved the pains and in short time his
complaint had entirely vanished. He
