1 . '.. a 'V ATAXIA M YEARS POLLOWB MALARIA CONTRACTED IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. Victim Itnil Uecomo Helpless "When II Tried Dr. "William' l'lnk l'llls, but Was Cured In I'our Months. BocnnBo ho did not know that tbcro is a remedy for ataxia, Mr. Ariel endured four years of weakness, imiu and tho misery of thinking his caso incurable. "At tho outbreak of tho Spanish American war," ho Bays, "I went with Company B, Eighth Itegimcut;, M.V.M., into camp at Ohickamanga, nud whilo thcro my system bocamo thoroughly poisoned with malaria. When I was mustered out, I carried that discaso home with mo. After a whilo locomotor ataxia appeared." " How did tho ataxia begin?" " I first noticed n pain in my ankles and knoo joints. This was followed by a unmb fooling in my legs. At times I had to drag mysolf around; my legs would shako or bocorao perfectly dead. I had constant troublo in gotting about in tho dark. I kept a light burning in my room nt night as I could not balanco mysolf in the darkness. Even with tho aid of a light I wobblod, and would reach out and catch hold of chairs to provont mysolf from falling?" " How long woro you a suffcror ?" "Four years in all. Daring tho last thrco years I was confined to bod, somo times for a week, again for thrco or four weeks at a tiino. Whon I was lying down tho pain in my back was fre quently so sovcro that I had to bo helped tip and put in a chair to gob a littlo ro lief. I had considerable pain in my howels and no control oror my kidnoys. Tho worst of all was that tho doctor could givo mo no hopo of recovery." "Howwero you cured?" "I read that Dr. Williams' Pink Fills had cured locomotor ataxia and ono or two friends spoko to mo about thorn. In tho fall of 1903 1 began to tako them for myself and I had not used moro than ono box boforo I found that tho pains in my kneos and mikles woro greatly relieved. Four months after ward Ibecamon porfectly well man, and I am today enjoying tho best of hoalth." Mr. Edward n. Ariol lives at No. 43 Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Every sufferer from locomotor ataxia should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills without delay. Any druggist can supply them. Domesticity Barred. Tho Unltod States government has mado known Its decision that neither husband nor wife can bo subordinate to tho other In a government office, such a stato of things being considered subversive or discipline and good ser vice. This was maao Known on tho uoccaslon of tho chief clerk in tho United slates engineering olHco at Heattio, Wash., wishing to marry ono of tho women clerks under him. MARKETING POTATO CROPS. In lino with. tho classic case of tho oyster shippers, cited by President Hadley of Yale University in his book on Railroad Transportation, Is the case ' of tho Aroostook potato growers brought by President Tuttlo of tho Boston and Maine Railroad befoio tho Senate Committee on Intcrstato Com merce. Nothing could better show how a railroad works for the Interest of tho localities which it serves. A main dependence of the farmers of tho Aroostook region is tho potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ten million bushels, which find a mar ket largely in Boston and tho adjacent thickly settled regions of New Eng land." The competition of cheap water transportation from Maino to all points along tho New England coast keeps railroad freight rates on theso pota toes always at a very low level. Potatoes are also a considerable out put of tho truck farms of Michigan, their normal market being obtained In and through Detroit and Chteago and other communities of that region. Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a tremendous yield of potatoes from tho Michigan fields. At normal rates and prices thoro would have been a glut of the custom ary markets and the potatoes would havo rotted on the farms. To help the potato growers the railroads from Michigan mado unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes to every reachablo market, oven carrying them in large quantities to a place so remote as Bos ton. Tho Aroostook growers had to reduce the price on their potatoes and oven then could not dispose of them unless tho Boston and Maine Railroad reduced its already low rate, which it did. By means of theso low rates, making possible low prices, the potato crops of both Michigan and Maino were , finally marketed. Everybody eats potatoes, and that year every body had all the potatoes he wanted. Whilo tho Michigan railroads mado rates that would havo been ruinous to the railroads, had they been applied to the movement of all potatoes at all times, to all places, they helped their patrons to find markets then. Tho , Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a decrease in its revonuo from potatoes, but It enabled the Aroostook farmers to market their crop and thereby to obtain money which they spent for the varied supplies which the railroads brought to them. If the making of rates woro subject to governmental adjustment such radical and prompt action could never have been takon, because it Is well established that if a rate be once reduced by a railroad company it cannot bo restored through tho red tape of governmental proce ' dure. If the Michigan railroads and the Boston and Maino Railroad had been subjected to governmental limi tation they would havo felt obliged to keep up their rates as do the railroads of France and England and Germany under governmental limitation and let tho potatoes rot.- ham Every tlmo a man makes lovo to his wife he makes a prontaBIe Investment Life in Unquiet Macedonia Journeying through Macedonia by railway train last month, an English man thus describes the sights from his window: "The valley Is alivo with busy rural life. Men and women aro working In tho flolds, gray or mouse colored teams of oxon aro drawing long, narrow drays along tho paths, there aro strings of pack ponies, hero and thoro a Turk riding on horseback, perched with short stirrups on a high Eastern saddle. The men aro mostly in tho jackets and wldo drawers wo havo seen In Servia, with feet bare, or In sandals, bound up tho leg with complicated putties of string; tho women in red petticoats, with whito hoods and wimples. Tho land In this early summer, when the chestnuts and acacias aro bending with blossom, and the flolds are bright with tho young shoots of maize and tho tobacco plant, wears a prosperous, fertile look, and tho people seem a Bturdy, well-grown you would almost say a contented folk. But tho Arnaut or Anatolian sol dier, with his rifle and loaded bando lier and his ragged shoos, Blouchcs oalong every station platform." Hero Is his description of a street In Uskub: "My window looks out upon tho rough lano which Is tho main More Than One Technicality "Say, jedge," said Jim Fury, after ho had been sentenced to bo hanged on the outskirts of camp for horso steal ing, "If thar's any technicalities In tho law that I happen to think of I s'poso I kin take advantage of them, can't I?" "Sartln, you kin, Jim, though I reck on you won't find many In your caso." "Mebbe not, but wlll'yo do mo a favor?" "If I kin, Jim. I'm alius wlllln' to favor tho condemned up to a sartln pint." "Well, then, sentenco mo to be hung at 10 o'clock In tho forenoon with a rope." "I'll do It. Just consider that tho hour, and that ye aro to be choked to death with a rope. I never heard of anybody beln' hung with anything else." Thoro was much amusement after court adjourned about Jim finding technicalities In tho law, but his re marks were not fully understood until tho next day. Then for tho first tlmo the boys began to look around for a rope, but after half an hour's hunt It was found that there wasn't an inch of ropo In tho camp. Tho nearest Put Washing A story comes from the west that is good enough to bo true. In tho autumn of 1001, when tho royal tour ists, then known as tho duko and duchess of York, were passing tri umphantly' through a loyal dominion, they came to a small tovn not far from tho Rocky mountains', of which Alexander Guthrie was mayor. Of tho mayor and his wife, be it remarked, In tho words of Mrs. Jean Blewett, "ho was Scotch and so was she." There was a chango In the plans of tho royal party, ahd tho mayor received word that they would arrive at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, Instead of four hours later- Sunday afternoon was a period of excitement. The mayor sur veyed his "Sunday suit" with feelings of prldo and anxiety, and assured his wife Margaret that her black silk would be tho proper garb for tho oc casion. Ho arose betimes and saw that tho station platform was properly decorated. But what was his horror to discover after C o'clock that Mar garet was out In tho back yard bend ing over a washtub and presplring with honest toll. Feats of Indian Jugglery Andrew Lang quotes In Longman's Magazine a letter from India In which a Btrango tale of Jugglery Ib told: "Yesterday," says tho writer, "wo were all marching in from Khlmlasa when wo passed a vlllago and on tho roadside a Juggler was resting. Wo said to him: 'Juggle!' WO stood within six feet of him, all round him, all tho time, and he was half-naked. He took a rudely carved littlo boat, empty and undecked, about 8 Inches by 4 Inches, with one thwart across It, with a hole for a mast Wo all ex amined this boat and handed It round. It was empty. Ho then stuck a thin bamboo stick about two feet long In the holo and then took a cocoanut and handed It round. This cocoanut was empty, with three holes in It. "Ho then stuck the nut, which wo had all seen and felt was empty, on the bamboo, and stuck a little bamboo The Trials of When first I tried to chronicle The doings of our town. Jim rtogers of the Clamvlllo Press Bald: "Jot the Items down, And be observant of events That stir your busy hive. We'll show the world that Muddycrlck la very much alive." I scarce had bought a notebook And tilled my fountain pen. When news arrived that Mrs. Cobb Had lost a setting hen. The nlnco was in a ferment Folks knew not what to think. Though Tommy Jenkins said he guessed Tho culprit was the Chink. Then Silas Pegg was raided. And though they found no rum, The ohuiches made an 'awful fuss, And things began to hum. The air was filled with rumors, Some true, but mostly fakes Out none tlonled that Ell Wood Missed two fine quaghaug rakes,- street of Urkub, and oven at this early hour It Is full of movomont. Tho ox walns of tho noasants coma cronkini; Sslowly down from tho mountains. Thoy aro long and narrow and sprlngless, and each Is drawn by two bullocks. Somo of tho animals aro sleek, and cream-colored and patlont, Uko tho bovl that drag tho country carts among tho vine-clad slopes of Tus cany; somo aro wild-looking, buffalo Uko creaturos, with ragged heads, borno low In front of humping shotfl dors, and threatening curved horns. But they follow tholr peasant masters quietly enough, as thoy walk In front with a leading string." Another sight from his window is tJTii8 pictured: "Tho women among theso Christian peoples do their shnro of manual labor. Hero aro a dozen of them, who look Uko a sort of femalo navvies. .Thoy aro dressed In wfclto cotton and wool, with wldo divided skirts, and high boots upon tholr sub stantial legs; each bears an ax or a pointed heart-shaped Bhovol ovor hor shoulder, as though It wore a weapon of war; thoy aro broadly built and muscular, and thoy swing along with a fine, straight-kneed, manly stride Ono seldom sees women who walk so well." I town was twenty miles away, but Jim stopped any ono from going thoro by saying: "Gentlemen, I was to bo hung at 1,0 o'clock, and It's past the hour now. I wbb to bo hung with n ropo, but you haven't got any. I demand to bo set a"t liberty." "And and this Is a technicality?" queried tho Judgo with a blank face. "She bo, sir two of 'em, and I stand on both. Joe Thomas stole all tho rope In camp la3t night and hid It, and If ye hang mo with anything elso It'll bo Illegal." Thoro was an awkward and ombar asslng silence, nnd then tho crowd be gan to back Jim up, and the judge Miw that tho points wore well taken nnd said: "Jim, you've shoroly got tho bulge on tho crowd this time, and I'm goln to turn loose and ax yo to drink with us. That's plain law, Jest as I glvo you. Then tho crowd Is goln' to form in lino and each ono help to boost you out of town. That's a technical ity same as you worked on us. Cast the prisoner loose, and prepare to drink and kick!" Cleveland Plain Dealer. Before Royalty "Woman," he exclaimed, aghast, "yo'U bo lato for tho duko." "Alexander Guthrie," said Margaret solemnly, "yo're mayor of tho town and may havo to make a fool of your self. But Monday's tho day for tho wash and It's going to bo dono, duko or no duko. Queen Victoria was a sensible body, and it's likely that tho duchess of York would think far moro of a woman that did her week's wash at tho proper tlmo than she would If I were to put on my best gown nt this hour of tho morning. Now, off with yo to tho station!" Alexander departed In sadness, for ho know the quality of his wife's "nay." So It happened that when Prince George and Princess May step ped on tho station platfoom at Clydo they were greeted by a chief magis trate whoso welcome had a subdued and chastened note. But from the rear platform of the departing train could bo seen the broad back of Margaret Guthrlo as she stood in tho back yard hanging out tho clothes of tho house hold. spout in ono holo of the nut, and stood five yards off, and said: ''Spout,' and It spouted like 1 o'clock for a long time. Ho said: 'Stop,' and It stopped; 'Spout,' and it spouted. It spouted much moro water than could over havo been In tho nut or boat. All tho time the man, who bad a monkey's skull with him, kept on saying: 'Ban dar ka kopra' ('monkey's skull') over and over again." Mr. Lang tells another Jugglery story sent him by a friend. Tho Jug gler was a Malay, who stroked- with his fingers the blado of a long knife or krls. Tie observer Baw water fall drop by drop from tho blade, which .becamo flaccid, Uko a strip of India rubber. Thrown on the ground, It bounced about, but was a knife-blade again when lifted by tho juggler. An examination showed that thero was no water on the .mat on which the ob server saw tho drops falling. Journalism Tho wave of crime that followed Was awful to relate. Some rufflaiiB. bolder than the rest, Broke old man Johnson's gate. Tho sewing clrclo loudly cried That hell had broken Ipose, And all admitted that the town Was going to tho deucei I kept tho paper busy With each appalling tale. Till It scared the summer boarders, And tho stores began to wail. Then Deacon Wiley said ho knew The cause of oil the mess Was what young Jones was writing In tho Clamvflle Weekly Press. They held a nubile meeting, And oheered Klnatlmn West When he raid the town was nursing A vljior in Its breast. They made me feel an though I were A wolf among tho lambs . So I cursed Jim llogors and his rag, And now I'm digging clams. M. Fitzgerald in New York Sua. THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA REMARKABLE BANK REPORT.
