haircut and shave. He was in q hurry.
His business for the evening included
Il lodge meeting and most important

War on 4 skunk.

Pierre.-A terrific fusillade OF re,
volver shots on the streets OF this city
about midnight was not ar effort to
repel border raiders, nor was the echo
OF the trouble in Europe. The cause
OF the trouble which called out the
night police force was to repel a mild
little skunk which had ambled up
from the brush along the river on a
moonlight exploration. He was first
trying to find a way into a cigar store,
and from that to the doorway Of . dry
goods store. Being driven from that
point he took refuge in the basement
front Of the Pierre National bank,
where he finally was disposed CT after
practically his weight in lead had
been emptied in his general direction
by the volunteer force which quickly
showed preparedness for the emergen-
cy to repel an alien enemy.

truth of this statement is what puts
the world of ONE against reformers.
1t is easy to read and write reams OF

the blame should be placed on the

A close connection exists between
these two--cold weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of
rheumatism. Every one has recognized
the difference in the appearance of
their water as soon as it gets cold I;
there is often ''brickdustH sediment.
Several causes may lead up TO an ac-
emulation of uric acid in the system,
which. in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw Off the uric acid,
by profuSe sweating, as in hot wealth
er. and the kidneys cannot bear the
double burden. Another reason is that
people do not drink as much water In
cold weather. which helps to flush the
kidneys. Again. they eat more meat in
