Peter. Not Candidate for senator.

Peters Not a Candidate for Senator.
Congressman John A. Peters, in response
to man. inquiries as to whether he would
be q candidate for the nomination for
United States senator in the repub lican
primary to I'LL the vacancy caused by the
death OF Senator Burleigh, on Saturday
issued the following statement:
There has been some speculation concern
ing my attitude In the coming primary for
the purpose OF naming a republican candidate
for the vacancy caused by the death Of Sena-
tor Burieigh. To set all doubt at rest. l will
say have made up my mind that. as the mat
ter stands. there Is no propriety In entering
the contest have only served a brief period,
with hardly time to get my feet placed. have
Just been renomipated without opposition.
The republicans of my district are expect
ing TO make the fight with me in my present
position. The only excuse can see for re-
signing and preeipitating a fight on my sue
cesso- is to crafty personal ambition. ] can
not seem to justify that in my case at the
present time. believe my duty to the party
requires that do n I abandon the nomina-
tion Just now given me. I am party man,
and will stay where am.

FOUR-FOlD benefit
From Two Grand Medicines in Spring
Hood 5 Sarsaparilla Peptiron Pills.

You know that physicians often
give two prescriptions, perhaps more,
for medicines to be taken together, or
alternately or at different times, be-
cause desired results cannot be &C.
cured by one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that We
know of-because perfectly "compat-
ible" and productive Of the best re-
sults-is in Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills. The former thoroughly
searches out and expels impurities
from the blood, creates an appetite
and promotes digestion and natural
action of the kidneys and liver, while
Peptiron Pills give the powerful tonic
they literally "put iron into your
blood''-that just balances the re-
quirement Of perfect health.
Hood 8 Sarsaparilla should be taken
before meals and Peptiron Pills after
meals-patients taking them 90 re-
port the benefit is four-fold-prompt,
positive and permanent.

and see what he felt like. She did,
too; but, strange to relate, while she
could see that she was holding him
in her hand she couldn't feel him a:
all. 1t was like holding just so much
air-and you know you can't feel air,
can you?
Shall we tease Maybelle any

chievous twinkle in his eye "Or shall
tell her who and what we are? En-?
Yes. she's a right good little mink,
and she does love to blow soap bub-
bles. SO l guess we'd better tell her"
With that he hoped right out of
her hand and perched himself on her
shoulder, close to her pink little ear.
"Maybelle," he said in a voice that
sounded like water ripping over
stones, I'VE are the Sea- p-Bubble

balanced himself astride the bubble.

chirped one of the little fellows; but.
alas, before he could complete his
sentence came a Pop!-and Suds and
the bubble upon which he had been
riding vanished. Maybelle looked and
looked and looked; but she could not
see what had become of him.
All of d sudden she heard very
little voice (Which she knew instantly
as belonging to Suds) right behind
her.
Here l am" it cried. And I guess
this one isn't some soap-bubble. huh 2"
The other little fellows seated on bub-
bles all looked at Suds obviously.
His bubble darted suddenly and
brushed against Maybelle's curly head.
OF course. it burst Immediately. May
belle put up her hand quickly in the
hope of saving Studs from a nasty fall
or, at least. of being able to touch him

voice. Look at this one. Bubble!"
Maybelle stared in the direction
from which the voice had come; and
there, sitting astride big, fat soap
bubble was the queerest little creature
she had ever seen. He wasn't any
where near as big as minute-so
you can we'll imagine how small he
must have been. His legs were COW
cred 10y tights which seemed TO be
OF many colors, and his short jacket
was dazzling red.
He had a funny little cap on his
head, and from his shoulders a pair
of wings like those on a butterfly
stuck out. His face was wrinkled and
old and yet, at the same time, the
jolliest, merriest one you could i'm
agine: you simply could not look at
him without Laughing.
As he tlg soap-bubble floated along
and turned round and round he
turned with it; that is, he displayed
wonderful agility in always keep
ing on top of it. Sometimes, just for
the fun of it, he'd see how close he
could come to falling off and still not
do so. He waved his hand and shout
ed again:
Look at this one. Bubble"
Maybelle looked in the direction he
had waved and. 10 and behold, there
was another of the strange creatures,
also astride a soap bubble. Only his
coat was the color of a peacocks
feathers and his little tights as white
aip't
mine, Sudsl" this second one, whose
name was Bubble. shouted back mer-
rily. Mines the biggest-and mines
going to last the long"
Pop. That very instant the bubble
upon which he sat astride burst
vanished into thin air, as soap bubbles
always do.
Presently a shrill voice right in
back Of her laughed:
Here l am, my pretty Maybele,
Here I come a-sailing, a-sailing-!"
Maybelle wheeled about and, sure
enough, there was that self-same Bub-
Bile sitting astride another soap bub-
BILE which, in some mysterious fash
ion, had detached itself from May
bellies pipe.
Now, that pipe was lying on the
bench, right by the side of the tin
pan, and she wondered how in the
world it could have blown another
bubble. But she was not in doubt for
long. for it blew another right before
her eyes! Why. would you believe 1t,
that pipe hoped into the suds. out
again and, presto, from its bowl a big
fat bubble began to come forth.

them. And a second or so after each

is very busy, for in the depths of the
woods he must dress and decorate his
many cows. in honor of the festival.
In Finland cows are MIXED three
times a day, so at twelve o'clock the
children see approaching a herd of
COWS adorned in a strange fashion.
Between their horns hangs a strip of
birchbark like a shield, painted in red
and green and yellow; while from
their horns depend queer ornaments.
One is made from the wood of the
juniper tree, short stick from which
twigs are curved back at the ends into
four spikes, like a double" claw
hammer This all the year round will
be used in the homes as a potato
masher. Another cow bears a twisted
"whisk" made of willow fbres' and
this is the new family cgg-beater
After the COWS have been duly adj
mired-and sometimes great artistic
ability is lavished on the beasts by
the rustic craftsman-the assembled
children and older people are invited
into a kiosk or house made of birch
trees, built for this great occasion.
Thus in drinking of coffee and in eat
ing of cakes and sweet bread a pleas
ant hour passes and then the process
sion of children starts for home, gaily
dancing as they decorate themselves
with the birchbark steamers which
had previously bedeCked the cows.
