MIR. EDWARD ALLEN RESIGNS

Here For Years.
Mr.. Edward Allen, we'll and favor
ably known to our people has de-
-cided to resign, and his resignation
has already been rendered. Many
Of our best citizens will regret this
change, for ME-. Allen has made a
faithful. competent and satisfactory
public servant In reality he has
really done the work of the post-of-
flee here for years and we do not
think his equal for the place can be
found, and we really regret that he
has to go to the scrap pile after so
many years of excellent service. We
are sorry that existing conditions
became so unpleasant as to force his
resignation, but the ingratitude Of
machine politics has no bounds when
they are gasping for the breath that
is necessary to keep the old methods
in vogue still a while longer. Mr..
Allen is only one example, others
will follow.

Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.
You cannot. be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-
cines should ever be given except in
emergency cases. Ordinary pills,
cathartics and purgatives are apt to
do more harm than good. They way
cause gripping, nausea and other dis
tressing after-effects that are IRE
quently notwithstanding.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy,
which we know, for constipation and
associate bowel disorders. We have
such absolute faith in the virtaes of
this remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every
instance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need
of such medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, gripping, excessive loose
ness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
ing as a regulating tonic upon the
relaxed muscular coat of the bowel,
thus overcoming weakness, and aid
ing to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly COM
pletely relieve constipation, except of
course when of surgical character.
They also tend to overcome the ne
cessity of constantly taking laxatives

VENGEANCE OF AN ELEPHANT
When a Hunter Wounded the Big
Beast 1t Turned on the
AssaiIant

Carel Krieger, a celebrated ele-
plant hunter, met with his death in
the following manner: He had been
an indefatigable and fearless hunt
er; and, being also an excellent
marksman, often ventured into the
most dangerous situations. One day,
having, with party, pursued an
elephant which he had wounded, the
irritated animal suddenly turned
round and, singing out from the
rest the person by whom it had been
wounded, seized him with its trunk
and, lifting its wretched victim in
the air, dashed him with fearful
force to the ground.
His companions, struck with hor-
ror, fled precipitately from the scene,
unable to turn their eyes to behold
the rest of the tragedy. But, on the
following day, they returned to the
spot, where they collected the few
bones that could be found and bur-
led them near the spring. The en-
ragged animal had not only trampled
the body to pieces, but could not
feel its vengeance satisfied until it
had pounded the very flesh into the
dust, so that nothing of the unfor-
tunate man remained except a few
of the larger bones.-From the
treason Why, a Natural History"

FARMERS ALL TOM FUCKERS
Something Always Seems 70 Happen
TO Make Them Late for Their
Meals.

Why is it that farmers usually
are late at mealsY No matter how
early a farmer rises and how soon
he begins his morning chores, some
thing almost invariably happens,
just at breakfast time, to keep him
away from the house fifteen minutes
longer.
Breakfast is all ready for the
table, and he knows it, but that
makes no difference. The biscuits
burn and the eggs get cold and
leathery, and the coffee boils too
long, and the farmers wife goes to
the window and looks vainly toward
the barn, but still he doesn't come.
The other meals are no better at
tended. Out in the field something
about the machinery breaks just be-
fore noon, and of course the repair
ing couldn't be left till after DIM
ner.
Or maybe there are Just two
more rounds to go and it wouldn't
do to leave them until tomorrow,
even if it is already past quitting
time. But the meals must be ready
just on the dot-you bet-it doesn't
put a woman out to wait little
nearly as much as it would man.
The movement to make farm life
attractive is an excellent thing.
Clubs for farm women, electric
lights and bathrooms are all very
well in their way, but having regu-
lar hours for quitting work and be-
ing on time to meals would go far
Their toward making life easy for
women than all the hot water pipes
and electricity ever invented.-Kan-
sas Industrialist.
