Humorous department.

Wasn't lnnocent.-"When Senator
William j. Stone was governor Of
Missouri from 1898 to 1897. he received
many petitions from prisoners in the
penitentiary and their friends either
for Communication Of sentence or par
don," said Oscar Sanford of st. Louis
according to the Washington Post.
The then governor nearly every day
would find on his desk big stack of
letters from the inmates Of the peni-
tentiary and the burden Of the COM
plant always was that the prisoner
was innocent and ought to be turned
loose. Gov. Stone was about ready to
believe that the Missouri penitentiary
was filled with innocents when he
went one day to make tour Of in
spection.
He found many Of the prisoners
who had petitioned for release and
they repeated in person what they had
written or asked their friends to write.
After a while the governor found
strapping fellow who made a strong
impression.
Whats your name?' asked the
governor.
1.-The man told his name and Gov
ernor Stone followed it up by inquir-
ing:
What are you in here for?'
For stealing a horse was the an
swer.
but did you steal the horse?' said
the governor, somewhat timidly.
"I certainly did, returned the pris-
oner.
Then you were convicted justly for
your crime and deserve your punish
ment,' remarked the governor.
There's no doubt about that re-
piled the convict.
"'Well, I'm going to pardon you,
said the governor. You have no busi-
ness in a prison with so many innocent
men,"

Would Not Be Pleased.-One Of our
western senators who possesses
rather irascible temper. has habit on
days when everything seems to go
wrng Of scolding the clerks employed
by the committee.
Not long ago, during a session OF
the senate, the western solon had eX-
pressed a desire that one Of his clerks
prepare a tabulated statement OF GER
tain trade statistics of the United
States. The statement was accord
ingly prepared and laid before the
testy senator, who glanced at 1t with
an air that boded trouble. In mo-
ment he looked up and exclaimed
See here, Morton, this wouldn't do.
Why don't you prepare this statement
on the typewriter? These figures are
disgraceful. Any 12-year-old school
boy could do better than that. See
that three? 1t looks for all the world
like a five! No one would take 1t for
anything else Just look at it,"
II beg pardon, senator" replied the
clerk apologetically. 1.-The fact is, 1t
Is five."
"A five," roared the senator. You
idiot! 1t looks like three"

Regarding the
Monument

The Monument Is the sole product
of man which Is expected to exist,
without change or repair. for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which Is only
as long as the span Of life. 1t may
help to form a record. but 1t Is erect
ed as q tribute Of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" As
such, let 1t be thing Of beauty, not
dark and somber. but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor-
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture Is brought to US
from the past by the tombs Of the
ancients, SO let US pass on to those
In our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception Of beauty.

THE IDEAL EYE BATH

my eyes smart and burn" or
How my eyes ache" You hear these
remarks and others almost daily and
how unnecessary it is to suffer from
eyestrain or other forms of eye weak
ness. When your eyes pain and are
1nhamed or your sight is hazy, few
drops of "O'BEE EYERINE" will
soothe the discomfort and clear the
vision quickly. For those who wear
glasses, "O'BEE EYERINE" is an
ideal remedy. Your eyes should
brighten and Inflammation vanish
almost from the beginning of treat
ment. Now do not neglect caring
for your eyes but get a bottle of
"O'BEE EYERINE'' from your drug
gist or we will send postpaid either
a 25c or SOC size, as you may order.

MOST REAL FRIEND OF MAN
Never Waivers, Whose Devo-
ton ls Certain.

Your dog is ready to go with you
anywhere, at any time, through any.
thing, like Good Deeds in the old play.
He is something more than respect
able family possession, toy, part
Of an exhibition; he is a comrade,
whose loyalty never wavers, whose
devotion never obtrudes itself; who
responds to your mood without plum
ing himself upon his tact and who nei-
ther commiserates nor fatters.
After you have taken a few tramps
together you understand each other
perfectly, and there is no fear of
either changing his mind unless you
yourself prove tickle past belief.
And, when you are no longer friends
with your dog, you are beyond saving.

DRIED FRUITS IN DESSERTS
Properly Used, 1t May Be Made to
Serve to as Good Purpose
as the Fresh.

Dried fruit is quite as nice as fresh,
but it has been overworked in the al
legged interest of economy. It will
make a dessert second to none, If
properly used.
The covered enameled ware casse-
role is the proper cooking utensil for
dried fruit Let it soak over night.
and cook very slowly, and 1t will re-
gain it's shape and also its finest fla
vor. In addition it should have some
sort Of accompanying flavor. Prunes
soaked in just enough wine to cover
them and then cooked in this way
taste like something costly. Apricots
cooked with raisins are good. So are
dried apples cooked in the good, old
fashioned way, in cider. A mixture
of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all
cooked together, is good. Dried peaches
add little vanilla to the sirup when
they are done. Dried cherries are not
used here to any extent, but in Eng
land, where the cherry is an old and
famous fruit, they are used with cur
rants in plum cake, and very nice they
are. 1t is perfectly practicable to use
any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly
in this way, to add flavor to bread pud-
dings or steamed puddings. The fruit
can be either mixed with the bread
pudding or put in the dish with the
bread on top, or in layers; but when
1t is used the bread should not be
soaked in milk; the fruit juice will
make enough moisture, and the bread
should merely be soaked enough in
water to make it soft, and cooked
with the fruit, covered.

SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Labor-Saving Machines Are Great Aid
In Keeping Reliable Hired Men,
Medicine Chest Is Handy.

Dairy equipment is one of the great
est aids in solving the farm labor
problem. Observation leads one to be-
lieve that the farmers who are trying
to run good dairy farm are having
the least trouble in keeping reliable
hired men. The man who is RESPONSE
BILE for the condition of a respectable
looking dairy barn equipped with mod
ern labor saving appliances feels that
he owns position and not mere
job. Unless he is the kind Of en-
ployee who can succeed nowhere he
will appreciate the efforts of the farm
er to produce good milk in an econom-
ical manner The hired man feels
that it Is worth while to cooperate.
A good medicine chest is a necess
sary feature Of the dairy barn. The
farmer cannot be his own veterina-
rian, but he can keep a supply Of sim
pie remedies for the bovine troubles
which can be cured by the use of sim
pie applications. This chest should
not consist of a dirty cloth and a cou-
pie Of empty bottles either, as dirt

Prevention includes the prompt treat

CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by TAX
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
1anguid or nervous, Scott Emulsion is the
most tstrengtheningf food d-medicine known.
1t is totally free from alcohol or any
supplying drug. Avoid substitutes.

light breakfast as on a heavy one.
Foods should be selected in reference
to their suitability to one another and
the season. The Sunday morning
breakfast should be different. Danish
from the Sunday morning breakfast

Carafe Frappe.

Frappe, as most persons know, is to
freeze, and carafe is the glass decan-
ter smart folk use at their functions
for holding drinking water. Fill the
bottles with distilled water to within
an inch of the top and then sink
them to two-thirds depth in a tub Of
ice, as for making ice cream; use less
salt than for cream, and do not have
the ice cover the decanters any higher
than stated, as the glass may break.
Stopper them with bits Of absorbent
cotton during the freezing. The ice
forms at the bottom Of the bottles
and the displaced water rises, and as
long as the ice remains the decanters
can be refilled and used after few
minutes.
