A MerCileSS Judge
ONE WHO SHOWS NO FAVOR.

A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth can
stand. For years the following state
ment from Minot resident has with
stood this sternest of all tests.
Mrs: Anthony Botz, PA S. Reishus
St., Minot, says: An attack of Grippe
weakened my kidneys. I suffered a
long time after that from pain and
lameness across the small of my back.
Any eXertion was painful. Doan's
Kidney Pills soon removed the trou-
bles." (Statement given October 81,
1910.)
OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Botz said: 81 haven't had any need
of Doan's Kidney Pills for quite a
while, as my kidneys haven't given me
any trouble"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't simp-
ly ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Botz had. Foster Milburn Co.,

Farmers Improving Their Places.

Just now in driving thru the coun-
try, you will find many farmers build
ing good, strong, durable wire fences.
There is nothing that will enhance the
value of your farm rlore than good
fence. After the crops are taken off
in the fall, the stock can be turned in
and every bit of the grain cleaned up.
A good wire fence does not really cost
so much. We have an immense lot of
the reliable fencing, all kinds of it,
and will be pleased to make you a
quotation.
This is barn building time. Don't
wait until the wintry blasts blow. Why
wait when you are in need of a good,
roomy, warm barn.
Of course you are going to put
screens on your house if you have not
already done so. Don't let the flies
bother you all summer long. Be COM
Portable and save doctors bills.
Screens are cheaper than drugs.

FALLACY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost Is Most Likely to Occur in the Light of the Moon"
 Is Wrong Idea.

One uf the most tenacious beliefs is that the weather is affected by the movement Of the moon. 1t IS gen erally considered that frost is more likely to occur in he light of the moon" than at any other time For this reason crops which the frost IS likely to destroy are planted at such time as to be certain to avoid a full moon
 The moon reflects sunlight to the earth and produces the tides It has minor effects, such as changing the DO sition of the earth and causing min. ute defections of the magnetic needle; these last, are, however, so small that they have only effect upon refined in- struments of detection, and it has been proved conelusively these two have no relation to the change of weather. Regarding the two former effects named, it is quite easy to un. derstand that reflected sunlight from the moon cannot affect the weather In the first place. more light IS re- ceived from the sun in thirty min utes than from the moon in one year. and, moreover. the greatest reflection is at full moon. from logical point of view then il should be warmer In- stead of colder at full moon. This should disprove any argument that the reflected light makes 1t colder at full moon.

British Characterization.

The first day of August. 1894, is often mentioned. but enormously. as the day on which the slaves in the British colonies were set free They did not get their actual freedom, but an apprenticeship which was to pre- cede and prepare for their freedom. It was enacted that all slaves should become "apprenticed laborers" to their masters. These slaves were of two classes. One class received actual freedom in 1888 and the other in 1840. It was found that on August l. 1884, there were 770.280 slaves in the col onies affected by this emancipation act All negroes born after that date were born free Twenty million pounds sterling. s1000o0.000 was ultimately paid to the owners of these slaves, this sum being distributed ratably ac- cording to the market price of slaves in each colony.

Incident Shows the Fierce Nature of the Fighting at the Battle
 of Tippecanoe.

The Indians returned to the attack with redoubled fury. An entrance into the camp was effected, and for few minutes it looked as if the soldiers might be overwhelmed.
 Many officers went down under the fire of the Indians. Harrison s horse was killed He mounted another and quickly disposed his troops to better advantage When his lines were re- established not an Indian that had reached the camp was alive.
 A story is told that illustrates the terrible losses of the Fourth Indiana regiment. General Harrison, riding furiously toward the point of greatest peril. encountered a mere boy with blood-stained head working heroically to stem the Indian attack

Education City Girls Miss

City girls of any class rarely If ever have any domestic education or train- ing, unless they get it in their schools They are taught the boundaries of the United States and the source of the Nile; they learn that if you buy prod ucts at a certain price and sell at a higher you make money. but what to do with the money when you make it no one discusses. It is all making money or things. never the right use of money or things. that is impressed upon boys and girls from their primary class on to the bitter end. The chill dren of well-to-do families in smaller places have opportunities for educa. ton in the real things of life which these others often lack. but since our grandmother day education and train. ing in home affairs within the home walls has been neglected to a dan gerous degree Womans World

ALWAYS CLUBS OF A SORT
Men of Like interests Has Been Matter of Course.

In the eighteenth century tho man of London passed the largest part of his time in coffee houses and taverns, and when one seeks for him after midday he will probably be found in a tavern.
 No habit was so universal in every class as this of association in some place of entertainment; it was part of the life alike of the nobleman and the tradesman
 While the former enjoyed himself Tn one Of the numerous houses in the west end, he latter was surrounded by his business rivals at the Globe tavern in Fleet street or at the Six penny Card club or at the Free and Easy at the Queens Arms in St. Pauls churchyard.
 But when We go with the man of London to his coffee house or tavern we should not think too much of the place, for coffee house and tavern were each only building which by reason of it's existence was the most convenient for the purpose of assem- plies, whetler of business or of pleas ure.
 The important fact is the remark able and constant and often informal association of men of like interests, tastes or occupations for purposes DO litical, commercial. literary or social.
 These associations, every one Of which is usually called a club. even if it was without rules or officers, sLrang rapidly into being from the beginning of the century, so tapidly that places by no means always suit able had to be used for their meet ingS

A patient student who watched a garden spider spin it's web from start to finish has related what he saw. At 9:30 in the evening the spider, half grown female, began work by drop ping from one branch of pine tree to another below and there making the perpendicular radiating line of the web From that time it continued to work without one interruption until 25 minutes after one o'clock the next morning The network and the radial lines were done by half past twelve and the spiral part of the web was consequently made in less than an hour.
