An Incident in II Farmers Life.
(New York Evening Mail.)

WV" 1oih ENSllHS Ndll.)
Albert Griggs is 4 farmer who
lives near Eaglcvillc, Ohio. He has
herd Of cows. For long time he
has enjoyed q considerable revenue
from the milk they give or which he
takes from them. During the past
month or SO he has noticed pro-
nounced falling off in his herds milk
product. He was unable to account
for it until last Monday, when by
chance he discovered singular con-
diticn of affairs in his COW pasture
1t will doubtless be received with in
crcdulity by Fasteners, but the
Cleveland Plain Dealer vouches for it
and SO 1T must be true. NIr Griggs,
1t seems, found singular family liv-
ing in his pasture. 1t was made up
of sixteen snakes, his old cat and
four kittens. These incongruous
units had taken up quarters together
under a pile of rails, and, strange as
it may seem, they all dwelt together
in perfect harmony. When the even
ing shadows fell the snakes, under
the direction of the old cat, would go
forth and select cows. Four snakes
would then attach themselves to each
COW and while the kittens sat in a
receptive attitude the snakes would
milk the cows into the open mouths
OF the kittens. Jt was all worry inter
esting, but Mr.. Griggs somehow fail
ed to enter into the proper spirit of
the thing. He even went SO far as to
kilN all the snakes as well as the old
cat and her kittens, SO that now
things have gone back to the hum
dunn on the Griggs farm In Ohio and
there is nothing further doing there
out of the ordinary farm routine

S1O,ooo,ooo FROM RUSSIA.
That Amount Lost by Government on
& Road in One Year.

Berlin, Jan. 21.-A commission
named by the czar. to Investigate the
financial affairs Of the Siberial Rail-
road has brought to light the fact
that the government, during the last
year alone, has been robbed Of ten
million dollars. Practically every OIL
cial connected with the railroad, from
the highest manager to the humblest
porter, has been stealing founds or
accepting bribes. The number of
complaints handed to the president of
the investigating committee exceed
10000.
The abuses were woIse at Tomsk
where the general offices Of the road
were located. Here the railroad ofll-
cials simply examined all freight
trains and helped themselves to
whatever they needed or were able to
dispose or, from provisions to furni-
ture. Even automobiles and steam
launches were taken and disposed of
At the same time they had formed a
regular business concern for the sale
of thousands of tons Of coal stolen
from the government coal mines,
whose managers were also StOckhOld-
ers in the selling company. But for
the fact that all records OF these
mines had been destroyed the com
mittee would undoubtedly have been
able to prove that the loss to the
State amounted to at least 50,0OO,-
600 rOubles ($25,O00,000.)

Laxative Sent
 Free to Try

It may be taken for granted that there is no family of any size that goes very long without needing lax ative. If you don't know of good laxative, or the laxative you are using is losing its effect, we want to call your attention to Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of families are using successfully
 We have scores of letters from moth- CTS, and scores from prominent men saying they are using it personally and giving it to their families. men like Mr. c. K. Smith or the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and Mir. George E. Turner, lawyer of Harlan, Ky. The thousands of mothers who use it them- selves and give it to their children woul1 take too much space to mention.
 The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin is that 1t is a mild. gentle laxative tonic that does not gripe-efcective and yet so mild that babies can take it. Its tonic ingredients invigorate the body and strengthen the stomach and bow el muscles so that they again do their work naturally. If you have been Q victim of salts, pills and strong cathar- tics you will discard them when you once use Syrup Pepsin.
 You can buy fifty cent or one doI- a lar bottle of any druggist, but before doing so you may want to try it free. If so, send your address to Dr. Cald- well and he will promptly forward a free sample bottle. Then, being con- virced, do as others are doing and buy it in the regular way of your favorite druggist.
 pr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli- gation. He has specialized in stomach. liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and will be pleased to give the of charge. All are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him Dr. ". B; Caldwell. a02 Caldwell building. Monticello. IL

Concrete Walks And High School

The question of water for tho new High School building has been settled, as we understand and the pipe will be laid as soon as it arrives.
 The next proposition befora the people of Prescott is tha side walks to this new buildinc Moore and Martin have laid substantial walk from the cor. porate limits to the school prop. erty but how are the children to get from town out to this walks They .can go out by Lawyer Haynie's but then there is a gan of some POO yards with no walk this gap is over some very low and muddy ground. We under. stand the law to be that the city can require the property owners in that neighborhood to build side walks. This ought to be done at once, in fact 1t should have been attended to last fall while the weather was good. Every body knew the erection of the school building was being push. ed as rapidly as possible and the school directors were straining every nerve to get the new build. ing ready for occupancy on Jan. uary first and in this they very nearly succeeded. It would be pity now for the children to have to walk through mud and water in order to reach this fine build. ing
 Will the town council look after this? If it is their duty to do it or if they are the only ones who have the power to require the side walks to be built it strikes us it ought to be done at once.
 Our new High School is the greatest advertisement Prescott has ever had. Students from
 
 outside will no doubt attend thi s school, yet if they are forced to wade through mud and water to get too it, we fear they will not come.
 It strikes us that the street committee ought to take this matter in charge at once; if not, each and every member of the council ought to consider himself especially interested in it and move at once for a completion of the side walks Do not wait for regular meetings out nave q special meeting of the council Prescott needs to get a boom on herself and the only way to do it is to push public improvements,
 The people of Prescott have subscribed S40,000 to run this this school, commissioners have been appointed to build a new court house and from these com missioners we understand there will be no tagging along that line. With a new High School, new Court House and some time, if ever, new depot Prescott will be in the van. Let us all get to- gether and work for the general welfare and interests of our town and county.

AS a measure of prime lmpor- tance which will be urged by the President, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of State and by members and Senators in both Houses of Congress, is the prompt fertilization of the Pana. una Canal, especially at it's west ern end.

\ LITTLE friend of mine had a A chum who had spent summer at girls camp in Maine. With
 widest enthusiasm she described the good times at camp, and finally urged her friend to coax for hef mpther's permission to join her there the next season. The mother, more Or less accustomed to aeeedihg to her daughters wishes, gave her consent, and To! when her child returned to her, she was a different creature. Instead of being gentle=nnanhered, She was ex= citable and rude, indulging iii express sions that were often coarse, and rush. ing through the house in a noisy, sboiS= terous way. She had also acquired the habits of extreme carelessness-1t never occurred to her to hang up her hat and coat when she came in, as the wraps were flung helter-skelter in the cloak room at the camp; and it was equally far from her thoughts to keep her room in order. Twenty beds on a small veranda, so close that you could not walk between them, with one small common dressing room, was not conducive to orderliness and neatness; it is easy to become shift less in two months.
 So far as her health was concerned, this girl seemed in good condition. But everything about her indicated that the moral atmosphere of her summer home had not been of high standard. The girls had too much freedom.

Judgment about the length of time to stay in the water, often suffering se- were chills.
 Of no less importance is the mat ter or diet. Sometimes the Iood sup up piled in camps is not sufficiently va. ried CT we'll prepared, and attacks or indigestion are the result. The healthy appetite which outdoor life promotes demands the best of cook1ng.I But here, also, girls and boys need watch ing; they are likely to overeat or undereat and the attention of a coun- selor is required to tempt the delicate ones and restrict those who are m clined to eat too much.
 The main danger in this connection, though, is an over-supply of candy. In their efforts to make their cnlidre1 happy many parents send candy ana other delicacies to camp. Now, little candy does no harm, but how many children know how to draw the me at the proper quantity? A girl Wno was constantly i'll from an excess or mother just in the midst of a severe attack of indigestion. The leader of the camp pointed out the cause of the trouble, which served as practical lesson to the indulgent parent. There after her daughter was we'll ana strong, receiving a very limited supply of, sweets. In certain camp the candy boxes are carefully taken care of until after dinner, whereupon the owner of each box passes it around among her camp mates, each being allowed only certain number of pieces. This af- lords a diversion and pleasure without interfering with digestions
 The most successful camps are those in which a regular routine of work is carried on throughout the day. For instance, there sis an ideal camp in which the strains of some beautiful music on the mechanical player
