not being any moro land In North
Dakota nnd tho surrounding States,

Deflanco and save much time and
money and tho annoyance of tho iron

A great many of us can quoto Shake

Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Starch. This Is because they
have a stock on hand of othor brands
containing only 12 oz. In a package,
whlchth ey won't be ablo to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 oz. for

Didn't Have to Remove His Arms.
Congressman W. H. Jackson ol
Maryland was arguing--that tho con
versational delivery of speech was as
affective with an Intelligent audienco
ns tho declamation of a man whose
brilliant periods nro nlways accom
panied by arm swinging.
"You aro right," said a listener,
"and your statement reminds mo of n
young lady who had two suitors. Both
men had about tho sarao advantages
and prospects, but gossip declared
that tho girl would decide in favor ol
tho man who was a lawyer, for he
knew better how to present and win
his caso, but gossip erred; tho law
yer was rejected. Later It was learn

Rockefeller's Lay Preaching.
Members of tho Sunday school class

quietly that ho has changed much in
tho Inst year and a half in his 'dis
quisitions on morals. When ho first
took up his father's work as a teacher
ho stuck closely to tho Bible, studious
ly avoiding whatever suggested the
slightest leaning toward tho sensa
tionalism of lay preaching. Ho stood
by his texts, which camo mostly from
tho Psalms, Proverbs and the four
gospels. Talking of the parable of tho
rich man was his delight, being born
In tho shadow of $200,000,000, and his
class quickly loarnod that Lazarus was
bis ideal. Lately ho has drifted into
n species of pleasant stimulation of
the serrecs of his hearers, and now is
In danger of becoming a thriller.

Judge Augustus C. Van Wyck was
arguing with sundry members of tho

He declared that ho preferred a

constitution.
"This reminds mo," ho said, "of tho
reply made by Rufus Choato when a
friend congratulated him on having a
strong constitution. 'Bless your life,'
said Choate, 'I wore out my constitu
