Why, from 1800 to 1850 we expanded to three times as many miles east and west; and four times the square miles. Imperialism? Why, Con gress has absolute authority in the Dis trict of Columbia, and the president ap oo nts the governors of the territories. The “Dewey" Islands too far away? Why, it is farther to Alaska if you con sider the intense cold and otuer difficul ties iu the way. Miss Gertrude Smith is teaching the Stillwell school, twenty miles south of here.

J. Brvan’s father and was well acquainted with both. What he sa\s of them I will divide into three parts; First, the terrible, Mr. Brvan’s father was a cop pet head or southern HMiipathizer during the rebellion. Second, the horrible. Mr B’s father was supposed to belong to the “Knights ot the Goldeu Circle.” Third, the terrible-horrible That a man thue brought up should be nomi nated for president by the democrats, is to shake the "bloody shirt” iu the face of every northern soldier, and that the populist party should swallow him is beyond the power of words to describe.

The most colossal monument on the continent of Europe and second alone In dimensions to the Liberty statue In New York, Is that of the fabulous Tu rull bird recently erected on the sum mit of the Banhida mountain In Coun ty Komorn, Hungary, In commemora tion of the Hungarian millennium, which was celebrated with a stupen dous amount of patriotic influence In 1896 in all portions of the kingdom. The site is well chosen, seeing that the monument occupies the spot where Ar pad slew Swatopluk, the Slavic chief tain, on his invasion of the Hungary ol today. It was mainly due to the exer tions of the famous Magyar romancer, Jokal Mor, fhat the collection for the monument was started. This bird, fa ble has it, has played an extraordinary part in the destinies of the nation, so that the poorest moved to enthusiasm by the eloquence of the popular poet, contributed the copper he could ill af ford to spare to the general fund. The conception of the monument is that of the Magyar sculptor, Donath Gyula, the metals used being copper and Iron The height from the claw to the tip ol the wing is sixty-eight feet, the out spread wings are forty-six feet long, and the sword of Arpad, which the monster bird holds In its claws, meas ures forty feet Make an Interesting Find. Some chalk diggers have made an interesting find of a skeleton at Swans combe, Kent, England. It was that of a short, very thick-set man, and it is thought he was probably a Roman. A careful search was made for coins 01 weapons, or anything that could give a clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton, but nothing was found except some flints, rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart of a chalk hill which bad never been exca vated before. First Weather Prophecy. The first attempt at scientific fore casting of the weather was the result of a storm which during the Crimean war, November 14, 1854, almost de stroyed the fleets of France and Eng land. As a storm had raged several days earlier in France, investigations were made, which showed that the two were in reality one storm, and that its path could have been ascertained and the fleet forewarned in ample time to reach safety. ft Word to Doctors We have the highest regard for the medical profession. Our preparations are not sold for the purpose of antagon izing them, but rather as an aid. We lay it down as an established truth that internal remedies are positively injuri ous to expectant mothers. The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth can be al leviated only by external treatment—by applying a liniment that softens and re laxes the over-strained muscles. We make and sell such a liniment, com bining the ingredients in a manner hitherto unknown, and call it Mother s Friend We know that in thousands of cases it has proved more than a blessing to expectant mothers. It overcomes morn ing sickness. It relieves the sense of tightness. Headaches cease, and dan ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is shortened and shorn of most of the pain. We know that many doctors recom mend it, and we know that multitudes of women go to the drug stores and buy it because they are sure their physicians have no objections. We ask a trial— just a fair test. There is no possible chance of injury being the result, be cause Mother's Friend is scientific ally compounded. It is sold at $i a bot tle, and. should be used during most of the period of gestation, although great relief is experienced if used only a short time before childbirth.

"No, sir,” said the florist, “we have uo jonquils or buttercups, as you call them. We hare some fine violets, though, and they are cheap for today." "See here," replied the prospective pur chaser, according to the Memphis Scim itar, "I hare been everywhere and re ceived that same answer. I will buy > our violets If you will tell me why licrists won’t handle jonquils." "Oh, we will give them out to a chance cus tomer that comes In here some time, or to a regular customer who has to have them for a special purpose, but wo do not want to sell them to the fellows who come in here after flowers for their best girls. This Is the reason: The buttercups will be sent to the girl and she will probably wear them one day, when she goes uptown. Then, when she goes home, if she thinks anything at all of the fellow, or even If she does not, she will put those flowers In water to see how long they will keep. The pesky Jonquils will he as fresh when the young man calls the evening after as when he sent the flowers to her and he will say something In regard to the fact. ‘I’ll send you some more to re place those when they wither,’ he says. ‘I think they are so symbolic of the early spring,’ she answers. He mur murs something else and she decides to keep those Jonquils to find how long they will remain fresh. They cohtlnue to be fresh for two or three days, and then, whether she cares for the fellow or not, she becomes Interested In find ing out when they will wither. They keep and keep any time from a week to ten days and as a result the young man does not buy any mors flowers for that time. When the girl goes up town she pins one of those jonquils on and says to her friends. ‘Yes, I Just wear that one because I have kept it for-days,’ as the case may be. The violets will not stand an hour or two’s steady wearing and the young fellow must come back for a new supply. That Is why we sell violets in prefer ence to jonquils.” SNAKE OR ROOT? 9 Carious Petrifaction Found In Ken tucky. A strange petrifaction was recently found In Kentucky which closely re sembles a huge rattlesnake. Whether or not it be that la a question upon which scientists are divided. The cu riosity was found by Farmer John N. Brown in the mountainous regions of Wayne county. When he came upon It suddenly he thought it a big live snake and was frightened. But when he Baw his mistake he made an examination and decided that the find was worth re moving to his yard, where It now lies. Mr. Brown describes it as fallows, say the San Francisco Examiner: "It has a head exactly like a rattler’s head, but is a little largo In proportion to the body—not enough, however, to dis pose of the thory of its having been a snake. Its head measures eight Inches across in the widest place. It was 21 feet long when I first got it, but relic hunters have broken off and purloined about three feet of Its tall. It is 16 Inches in circumference In the largest part of Its body, which is some nearer the head than the tall. It has the natural taper of the snake; in fact, In every particular It resembles a huge rattler In a colled position.” There are a number of others who agree with Mr. Brown In believing the petrifac tion to be a prehistoric snake, among them Col. S. M. Duncan, a well known Kentucky historian. In opposition to this view Is one brought forth by Prof. H. K. Taylor, whose explanation Is un doubtedly correct. He maintains that this wonderful snake-like discovery Is a valuable relic of an age of the world about which little is known, but Is petrified vegetable matter and not a reptile. He claims it Is the root of a prehistoric tree called the stlmgaria, a root which formed much of the ma terial out of which coal bads were made. ttM i u uuii’i u AiimjAU r If you contemplate a trip to Europe during the summer, please remember that any ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R’y can furnish you rates, tickets and up to date inform ation, as well as reserved berths on ocean steamers—all lines—in advance of sailing.
