Serving His Country.

A certain public office has been the
object of much satire because Of the
passive nature, as q rule, of the in
~cumbent's duties. In this connection
the following extract from Moses Colt
Tyler's journal, written in Washington
years ago, is interesting:
president Grant never starts a con
versation, but when it IS started he
often says a neat thing. Last year
there was an excursion down the Po-
tomac. He vas on board, with his cab
met and a quorum Of both houses.
"'N1r. President said Mrs. Judd,
who sat near him, 1T would be a pretty
bad thing to have a great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the whole
government would be destroyed
Eyes, Mrs. judd assented the pres
ident, but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed at
home"

SOME GOOD ADvIc

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. AT the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and use
a reliable kidney tonic. There's no
other kidney medicine so we'll recon-
mended as Doan's Kidney Pills.
Pierre people rely on them. Here's
n of the many statements from
Pierre people.

Odd North English Dialect.

A strange set of numerals was used
by the elder generation of farmers in

for counting sheep, and the procedure
was as follows:
A gap vas made in the wall just
wide enough to admit one sheep at a
time, and as the sheep were driven
through the farmer counted them.

fifteen.
P~honetically the numerals sound like
yam, tame, tether, neither, pip, sax,
