Kansas Has a New Idea
In Kansas a law has been proposed
which meets with favor and which
promises to employ convicts without
displeasing the representatives of or
ganized labor This law would divide
the convicts into three classes one of
which would be employed in digging
Irrigating ditches another in road
building and another in raising farm
products for the State institutions the
most vicious alone to te kept at the
State prison where they would be en
gaged in breaking rock to be used in
building State macadamized roads

Charley Marshall was traveling up to
town He was the pride of our village
He was but eighteen and this was his
llrst extended trip nlone He felt a if
he were going to seek his fortune and
the fact that he wore a new suit of
very correct clothes Intensified his en
joyment and his sense of Importance
At one of the midway stations there
entered an eld man who looked the
honest farmer He wore the high
dickey and rusty stock of an elder
day and his clothes were very evi
dently home made
Charley took to him at once He
seemed a breath from the hills and
when the old gentleman wandered into
the seat with him it was a vivid pleas
ure to move along and make hospitable
room
Finally the two began to talk togeth
er though the old gentleman kept a
distinct air of reserve and seeing that
Charley redoubled his efforts to make
the time pass pleasantly
They reached the city and made
preparations to leave the train
Well said the old gentleman
grasping his carpet bag and beginning
to move toward the door Ill bid you
good evening
Charley very conscious of his new
clothes and the splendor with which
he was about to burst upon the great
world Avas still loyal to his homely
friend
Where do you stop he Innocently
asked
The other hesitated a moment before
answering coldly The Phoenix Ho
tel
Why thats where Im going said
Charley Let me have your bag Ill
carry it for you
Then at last the old gentleman turn
ed upon him and transfixed him with a
cold blue eye in which there was yet
a righteous indignation
Young man said he I haint said
nothin about it but I know ye I live
in the country but I aint quite so green
as I may appear Ive read all about
you confidence men an bunco steerers
and as for you I dont mind tellin ye
I aint liked your looks from the fust
Youths Companion
His Baclc Up
When Noah blew his horn the oamel
humped himself to get aboard and by
a curious freak he stayed humped all
his life Lumbago or lame back humps
a mans back simply because he cannot
straighten himself on account of the
stiffness and soreness accompanying
the ailment Nature helped the camel
to his hump for a special purpose Na
ture will help a man to get rid of his
hump right off if he uses St Jacobs
Oil because the character of the trou
ble is such that it needs just such a
remedy to warm soften and straighten
out the contracted muscles From the
time of Noah down to the present time
men have had lame backs but only
since the introduction of St Jacobs Oil
has the best cure for it been known
Lumbago really disables but St Ja
cobs Oil enables one to attend to bus
ness without loss of time
Sensation in London
The clever forgery of notes of the
Bank of England has created a sensa
tion from the fact that the banks own
paper with the proper water mark
was reproduced This had never be-
fore been done The forged notes were
aDsoiuteiy perrect excepting that the
secret cipher marks were lacking
About ten thousand pounds of the
forged notes have turned up so far
The police have been unable to trace
the counterfeiters

In 3 Years She Gained 280 Pounds
Mrs Ruth Hollar who weighed 400
pounds died at her home in Allegheny
City Pa a few days ago Within
three years she had increased from 120
pounds to a fifth of a ton During the
last six months she had lived in the
second story of her home being unable
on account of her enormous size to get
either up or down stairs She was only
four feet five Inches in height
PICKED UP on beoadway
A True Incident A woman was picked up in the street in an unconscious con
dition and hurried to the nearest hospital On examination her body was found
to be covered with sores caused by the hypodermic injection of morphine
This mere wreck of a woman had once held an honorable and lucrative
position in a large publishing house in
New York Her health began to fail In
stead of taking rest and medical treat
ment she resorted to the stimulus of
morphine
The hospital physicians discov
ered that her primary trouble was
an affection of the womb which
could readily have been cured in
the first stages
If when she had felt those se
vere pains in the back the terrible
headaches the constant sense of
fullness soreness and pain in the
pelvic region she had used Lydia

womb and to day she would have

jSZzgo in this way It seems passing
UaS
strange that a woman like this one
so highly educated and so well placed should have de
pended on morphine instead of seeking a radical cure
There is no excuse for any woman who suffers she need not go without
help Mrs Pinkham stands ready to help any woman her address is
Lynn Mass Write to her it will cost you nothing In the meantime get a
bottle of Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound at the nearest dru
store The following letter from one of your sisters will encourage you
Mrs Bertha Lehbjiai No 1 Erie St 27th Ward Pittsburg Pa writes
to Mrs Pinkham I can hardly find words with which to thank you for
what you have done for me I suffered nearly seven years with backache
and sideache leucorrhoea and the worst forms of womb troubles
Doctors failed to do me any good I have taken four bottles of Lydia E
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and one box of Liver Pills and used one
package of Sanative Wash and now can say I am well and have been stead
ily gaining flesh am stouter and heartier now than I have been for
years I am recommending your Vegetable Compound to my friends Again
I thank you for the good health I am enjoying - vv - -

Good Coffee
Buy the unroasted Wash and rinse
it drain in a colander until dry then
put it in a shoal pan and roast it in the
oven till it is a rich brown It must be
stirred often When done it should be
put in jars and sealed air tight as soon
as taken out of the oven Only enough
for one meal should be ground at one
time Tie this in a piece of muslin or
fine cheese cloth place in the coffee
pot with enough water to cover it shut
the lid tight put a cork stopper in the
spout of the coffee pot so that none of
the flavor of the coffee can escape and
let it remain over night In the morn
ing add enough boiling water to make
the required amount of coffee for
breakfast and set where it wrill cook
but not boil Porcelain pots are best
for cooking coffee
Rice as Food
Rice is extremely light and easy of
digestion and is free from all acidity
The only precaution at all necessary In
the use of rice is to have it thoroughly
boiled and it should of course be
drained and dried on the stove just be
fore being served so that each grain is
separate Rice is a very useful food
for elderly people and for children As
a medicine it may be employed with
great advantage as an astringent eith
er as a drink or ground rice pudding
As an anti acid for heartburn or acid
ity a little whole rice chewed occasion
ally will often afford more relief than
soda or magnesia

AN OPEN LETTER
From the Herald Sauk Centre Minn
The following communication was re
cently received by the manufacturers of
Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
was born in Germany and am 37
years old I live with my husband on a
farm For ten years I suffered with leu
corrhoea so that I was a burden to my
friends and myself also I had tried a 1
great many doctors and different kinds
of medicines withput securing any bene
fits My condition had become so deplora
ble that I had almost given up hope of re
covery when one day I saw in the Sauk
Center Herald an advertisement of Dr
Williams Pink Pills and as a drownrng
person catches at a straw so I grasped
this chance and purchased from Hanson
Emerson a box of Pink Pills I com
menced taking them in March 1896 and
after taking one box I felt so much im
proved that I bought more
After taking them for a time I found
to my surprise that I was entirely cured
Ever since then I have been as strong
and well as I ever was and am able to do
the ardous duties which fall to the lot of
a farmers wife without feeling the least
fatigue or inconvenience
I hope this will be the means of placing
your wonderful pills in the hands of some
sister sufferer who may rejoice with me
I am satisfied that no woman need suffer
as I did when such an efficient remedy is
so close at hand

In order to understand the extraor
dinary attitude of the European pow
ers in connection with the conflict be
tween Greece and Turkey It must be
remembered that whereas most of the
enormous national debt of the Otto
man Empire is in the hands of French
English and Austrian bondholders
well nigh the entire state liabilities of
Greece are held by German investors
Inasmuch as a war between Turkey
and Greece would tend still further to
embarrass the finances of these two
heavily indebted countries and thus
compromise the interests of their for
eign bondholders the great powers
have decided that under no circum
stances would they permit any conflict
to take place

Faithful Use of Hoods Sarsaparllla
Effects a Cure
My little girl was covered with boils
on her head and face She also had sore
eyelids We began giving her Hoods
Sarsaparilla one year ago and for some
time we could not see any change in her
condition but we were faithful in the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla and in a few
weeks more I noticed some improvement
After she had taken three bottles she was
perfectly well Her face is now entirely
free from any marks or scars I think it
is no more than right to give this testimo
