Where glory CLEANS brightest.
where brightest eyes shine.
Far out on the roaring red firing

Men and Tears.

Men have always taken Z kind Of
perverse pride in their comparative i'm
munity from tears, as though a pecul-
iarity due to physical cause were a
self made virtue and the proof Of a

this deprivation, for they cannot get

Twelve Miles From Prescott

For travellers and those inter- ested, the following lines were written:
 In going from Prescott, the beautiful county site of Nevada county, to Sutton, SDnall burg of four stores and some sixty or seventy inhabitants, you pass thru what is known as Wren town, the suberbs of Sutton and one of the best and most attrac- tive neighborhoods in the county and among the best improved farms in the county.
 After you cross the creek and pass the farms of Mathews, Martin, Hale, McGough, Fore, Pultle and Easterling, you come next to the beautiful home of Sam Wren, the son of Dr. Wren. Sam was born and raised here and owns a nice farm and thinks there is no place like Wrentown as neighborhood, as Sutton for town, nor Prescott for a city.

HEALTHY LIVER
 MAKES BEAUTY
Famous Actress Finds That a Healthy Liver is Necessary to Good Looks
 and Y0uthfuIness

One of the best known women of the American stage is writing a series of articles on the preser- vation of beauty. She attaches great importance to keeping the liver active at all times, and she is right. Neither good looks nor happiness will stay long with any man or woman who lets the liver get lazy and sluggish.
 It is not always safe to take calomel, the old liver remedy. Doctors agree that it is a very uncertain drug. But Hesterly Drug Store has a remedy for sale that they guarantee to take the place of calomel absolutely, and still be harmless, causing no restriction of habit or diet. This remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is pleas. ant tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts the liver gently and surely and relieves constipation and biliousness so promptly that it has become a dependable rem edy in thousands of homes in the United States. There are scores of families in this vicinity who will not be without it in the house and who would not think of starting on a trip without a bottle of it.
 Hesterly Drug Store has sold so much Dodson's Liver Tone that they are convinced of it's merits and will give any person his 50 cents back. who buys a bottle and does not find that it takes the place of calomel to perfection. Advt.

TROOPS GUARD HOLY CARPL
BedouIn Tribes of the Desert Would Like te Steal the Sacred
 Islam Object.

As is well known to Mohamme- dans, but to few Europeans, the Holy Carpet always travels with an escort to and from the holy cities of Medina and Mecca. This escort con- sists of 300 to $50 men of one of the Egyptian infantry regiments with two small field pieces and two quick firing guns, and about forty mount ed men, together with their horses. The object of such a strong escort is to protect the sacred object from falling into the hands of the Bedouin tribes, through whose countries it must pass. at various stages of it's journey and who are also on the lookout for it, as the carpet Is worth fine ransom. Desperate attacks are not infrequently made upon the Holy Carpet by the Bedouiins of the desert. Hence the strength of the escort.-Egyptian Gazette.

JAPAN'S OLD FOLK.

In view of the fact that the au- thorities intend to devote part of the emperor's gift of money to the aged, investigations have been made as to the number of old people above the age of seventy. It is stated that the number of these and of those who will attain their seventieth year by November 9 reaches a large figure and that in Tokyo city alone the number of eligibles exceeds seventy thousand. Investigation is now on foot with view to classifying these people into two groups, those sup ported by their families and those without the help of relatives, so as to ascertain the number of aged folk who need assistance-Japan Adver- tiser.

BURMESE SUPERSTITION.

A curious idea among the Bur- mese is that people born on the same day of the week must not marry, and that if they defy the fates their union will be marked by much ill., luck. To prevent these disastrous marriages, every girl carries record of her birthday in her name, each day of the week having a letter be- longing to it, and all children are called by name which begins with that letter. It is rather hard if the Marys and Marks of Burma fall in love with each other as in this coun- try. Unlike other Oriental lands, the young people are allowed to mar " as taste dictates, subject only to the birthday restrictions.

MAY BE BEAUTIFUL AT FORTY
Woman's Complexion and Figure Can Be Preserved by Proper Diet
 and Fresh Air.

Women should be specially careful to choose the right diet. For the sake of her beauty, if nothing else, a woman should choose the right amount of nutritive foods, and avoid the temptations of oveeating. Coars- CT bread, more fruit, less meat and especially moderation, or total absti- nence, in the use of tea and coffee will secure relief from the all too re- tarded action of the digestive organs which is the curse of so many women who lead sedentary lives. No woman who eats properly and gets plenty of fresh air and exercise will have 6 poor complexion nor get too fat; nei- ther will she suffer from nerves and hysteria.
 The woman who lives right, thinks right and works right may be more beautiful at forty or sixty than at twenty, and the preservation of the divine gift of beauty is duty that no woman should neglect for her own sake and the sake of the world about her.-Woman's Home Com panion.

Ruttar and Margarine.

It has been brought out by re-
 cent statistics that the country
 which produces the largest rela-
 tive quantity of butter consumes
 the largest quantity of margarine.
 That country is Denmark, which
 uses every year some eighty mill lion pounds of margarine for a population of two and half mill lions, or at the rate of more than 32 pounds for each inhabitant. The farmers of Denmark prefer to sell their good butter to the
 English and content themselves
 with a cheaper fat food. France,
 with a population of forty mill lions, shows a sale of only about 2l.000,O00 pounds of margarine,
 which amounts to about nine to
 ten ounces a year for each in-
 habitant. The French law against the sale of margarine is very
 strict and is intended to protect
 the producers of butter, but il
 shows no consideration for the
 users of margarine. In Sweden over thirty million pounds of the margarine are used annually by a population of five and half mill lions. The amount used in Nor way is relatively more than twice as much, for there the population is only some two million, where as the consumption of margarine exceeds 24,00O,00O pounds. In spite of the large per capita con- sumption of butter ill England. there is an additional use of mar garine amounting to more than 100000 tons. The largest total consumption of margarine takes place in Germany, whose sixty five million inhabitants consume every year over 100000 tons of the fat. A great deal of prejudice has been cultivated against mar garine by the producers of but ter, and when it was sold as substitute for butter or an adul- terant it was we'll that all should be cautioned against it. But when it is sold on it's own merits at a lower price than butter it quickly establishes a place for itself in the markets of the world.

Why Is It?

When a fly moves on the crys- tai glass of the window pane it climbs going up and flies if go- ing in straight line downward. The fly never makes it's descent walking on the surface of the glass. Hens invariably scrape gravel with their backs to the sun. Cats never expose their paws to the heat of the fire. In the ma JOrity of cases they bring their left side toward the fire. Dogs, on the contrary, bring their paws as nearly as they can to the point from which the fire proceeds. Rats have the strange habit of rejecting food which is too easily dHtained land go ,to dangerous places in granerics. Farmers for this reason some times put their "exterminator" in out-Of-the-way corners, certain that the rats will be lured by the difficulty of ac- cess. And, improbable as it may seem, almost any one can be- come a snake charmer. One of the best known oriental "enchant- CTS" said that she began her ca reer by putting small and inof- fensive serpents in cages and go- ing every day to feed them. At the end of two or three months these animals knew her and had every appearance of awaiting her com- ing when the time drew near. She studied their habits and then the habits of the more formidable species until sh" had mastered
 her trade"
