As Jii'iiir have been exp cted,
there is trouble in the Chaska fam
ily. Three years ago Miss Fellows, a
teacher In the Indian schools, tuar
' Tied a young Santce buck Ignorant,
greasy, and depraved. She was go
ing to civilize him and make a man
of hint. After a stormy married life
the buck, Chaska, has deserted h s
wife and eloped with a sjuaw. No
other result could have been expected
of such a mutch. The Indian, like
the average fortune-hunting noble
man, wants a wife for revenue only.
She is to him a beast ot burden, n
hewer of wood arid a drawer of water.
Mrs. Chaska rebelled against this
idea and her liege lord has taken a
woman of his own people who will
bo satisfied to drudge while he snores
the happy hours away In his tepee.

The writer saw an Indian kill a
rattlesnake In a peculiar manner re
cently. The ratt er was about ten
feet fioiu the Indian, who was test
ing the rifle on his knee, apparently
taking aim. Whenever lie moved the
wai nn a few Inches the snake would

thing was done, the Indian moved
alout the snako In a circle, and the
reptile moved as if his tail was a
pivot always keeping bis head and
body In line with the gun. The In
dian then agreed to bandage his eyes
and shoot the snake in the mouth.
Tho writer bandaged the Indian's
eyes, and, holding the gun at arm's
length, the latter pulled the trigger
and the ball entered the snake's
mouth.
"How did you take aim?" was the
query. .
"The snako ho take aim," was tho
reply.

Ad All-rurjMMi. Ilors I
To the average farmer an all-purpose
horse or term is an absolute ne
cessityeconomy and general utility
considered. The theory that farm
ers must ne essarilyh ive iarge horses,
weighing 1,(100 to l.sou pounds, had
a long and impartial trial, but after
due deliberation it was pronounced
impracticable. Most farmers do not
need or require a horse of huge d -mentions,
and not many farmers can
afford to keep specialty teams and
riding horses. The farmer usually
desires a horse or team that will an
swer all purposes, that Is. work to
the sod breaker, the uicwer, the hay
rake, the farm wagon, the light or
spring wagon, the buggy, and the
road cart Now, there are many
who, of necessity, require all the-e
desirable qualities of th-ir limited
number of horses. This work may be j
sat sfa tory, or it may bo p rformed
in such a way as to g ve only pa tial
satisfaction, owing to the kind of
horses employed. If the number of
horses be limited, as is usually the t
case, it is easily seen that the heavy j
draught horse will not answer the
purpose to any reasonable drgree I
of satl -faction. This style of horse is
emphatically a specialty hor-e: and as i
such, not the kind the average farm- ;
er should own.
In his special sphere the heavy i
draught horse is both use ul and ,
prolltable. but, outside th s sphere,'
he cannot work to the sat sfaction of
his owner. Vet for the heavy draught
hoise there is a good market and a
steady demand, and generally at
tlgures that are remunerative. For !
the farmer the most prolltable horse '
is neither the largest nor the small- :
est, but one of that weight and sym- ;
nietry which will enable him to per- ;
form all kinds of work; lie should
weigh from 1, 151) pounds to 1,250
pounds. Tribune.

Hotanlsts generally have but a

not drop as in ordinary hemlocks, but
Is stiff and erect, and It has verticils

said "We have twenty-three varieties
of strawberries, but Wartleld No. 2

have sixteen varieties of raspberries,

A HARNESS HOUSE.
THE ILL-MANNERED SHAH.
CoidlX Abt IhcagM KMi-id-Dta Will
Affla Visit Europe.
The court of Europe are lust now
iu a flutter of excitement, owing to
the announcement that Nesr ed-Din,
Shah of Fersia, will soon decend from
the peacock throne and make a tour
of turone as the guest of the sov
ereigns tbeieof. It is not as a polit
ical figure that th? Shah sends a
streak of consternation through
Furopean royalty, but as an offensive
individual personage. The eti juette
of the Persian court does not reach
the standard established in the three
previous visits of Nasr-ed-l'in to
Europe.
The first of these visits was in IH'.Z
and t'esecond in 1.7:'. He came
again in lst'. .and it was then ob.-er ved
that his mani.ers bad not in the least
imp.oved. l.e still insisted, for ex
ample, o i throwing ueder the table
his plates and other dishes as fast as
he got through with th ir contents.
Perhaps that s the approved Persian
table et uette. Hut in a sumptuouiy
furnished European palace, with
china as fragile as eggshells and
worth its weight in gold, it is, t say
the least, rather trying. At his first
d nner as the guest of iueen v x
toria, in 1 , it is said, he thus tie
btioyed $1,000 worth of rare china.
At all subsequent meals a number
of waiters weie kept standing close
behind him to snatch up his plate
tne moment lie seemed done with
them or at leat to take them from
his hand before he could throw them
under the table. Even despite these
precautious he broke several things
and hit some ot the other guests on
the feet and shins w.th the dishes.
On one occasion the Shah was
seated at the table next to one of the
most stately and dignitieu royai
princesses of Europe. He was helped
to some asparagus, cooked in a pe
culiarly delicious manner. Picking up
u stalk iu his lingers, he sucked the
end of It with evident delight. Then
turning to his fall neighbor he ex
claimed, "lia! ba! How good it is!"
and thrust the same stalk into her
mouth for her also to tast.
Nor was his conversation ier.s em
barrassing than his table manners.
Talking with a nobleman of great
distinction, he suddenly asked:
Is that your wife over there?"
"Yes, your majesty."
"Put bhe is old and ugly. Why
don't you get rid of her and take a
new one, one of these young and
pretty women?"
As he spoke in a. tone perfectly
audible to the lady under discussion,
and indeed to mostof the company In
the room, the sensation produced may
best be left to the imagination. Nor
was the scene less embarassing when
the Shah one evening approached
cne of the royal princesses and
began to pat and pinch her plump
shoulders, saying, "Ah, you are the
kind of woman I likel You are not all
bones! I will get r.d of one of my
wives and lake you in her place!"
Village litre in Mexico.
A great cotton hacienda in Mexico
is strongly built with walls like those

A hacienda of this type, whether
devoted to the manufacture of sugar
or cotton, the raising of cattle, or
mining of silver, is a complete little
State, with every appliance for lux

Its wall hundre Is of peons, soldiers,
barracks, a chapel, houses for labor

family, and every necessary of life
for man and beast.
The administrador, or general man

if lie is only ordinarily just, never
finds his authority disputed, but is

matters.
A gcnl'eman who was for some
years administrador of an estate in
the State of t oahuila told me that
while occupying this position he con

haciendas the machinery is of a most
primitive kind, modern improve

has become a strong, vigorous man.
able in every instance to iaboi besi ie
his lellows. The fact ot Ids wonder) ui
restoration to health came to the
knowledge of tiie Journal, and iu con
sequence a rep rter visited the resi
dence ot Mr. Kumison. The man in
question was found seated upon a cul
tivator in the middie of a sixty-acre
co'ii lielu, and to the question, "How
are you this morning t" replied, "I
never felt better in my life." when.
asked to tell the story of his sickuesfj
and recovery, Mr. KiuniS"ii said: ''lj
always hau g6od health until abou'j
four j ears ago, when 1 was taken vvith
rheumatic pains in my legs, arms, and'
bands, and it was not long before I wasi
periectiy helpless. 1 think the rhot:
mansm was tne result ot a case of grip
1 had the winter before. I did not do
a day's work for nearly three years
until this spring. I spent hundreds of
dollars on (lillereiit doctors and medi-,
cines. I went to Hot Springs, South
Dakota, bought electric units and
electric batteries but to no use. I
couldn't find anything that would even
relieve. 1 whs all swollen up, my
muscles at their utmost tension, and
the pain was absolutely unbearable.
I could not get iu or out of bed alone,
and lor all those we:iry months I lay
and suffered without any hope of re
covery.
"At last, alter nearly three years at
that kind of life, I saw an account in -the
Nebraska State Jaurr.u: 'jt soma
one who it seemed was nearlv in my
own condition, and who had been cured
by a medicine called Dr. Williams, Pink",
Pills for Pale I'e iple. 1 got Mr. J. J.,
Frater. of Davii City, to get me two
boxes. As soon as 1 began to take
tliem I began to get better. It was
but a little while before I could dress
myself and only a short time after that
that I was able to do all my work, and
I have not lost a day since, i think
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the
best remedy on earth. It is certain
they cured me of muscular inflamma
tory rheumatism in its worst form."
Mrs. Kinmson corroborated her h is
band's story in every particular, and
his father also verilied the main facts
iu the case. The Joiirnal represeuta ,

called upon Mr. J. J. Frater, the drug

Mr. Frater further said: "1 have
several customers who buy very freely
of Pink Pills, notably Mr. D. C Jordan,
who is also a rheumatic, and who lives
in the southwest part of town."
The Journal reporter stumbling thus
upon another case hunted up Mr.
Jordan, whom, he found to be a man
ufacturer. Upon inquiry as to his
opinion of Pink Pills Mr. Jordan was
enthusiastic as to their merits, and
said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
for Pale People are the best remedy for
rheumatism I have ever come across.
I began recently to uRe them after
years of suffering. They have given;
me a wonderful amount of relief. ,
use them in my family, too, every one
of whom have received very apprec iable
benelit from them." 1
The above is a plain statement of the
facts ascertained by the Journal repJ
resentative, and can b substantiated
by any one wishing to write to the
parties named.
These Pills are manufactured
by the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. V.,
and are sold only in boxes bearing
the firm's trade mark and wrapper,
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 2.50.

Pills are never sold in bulk or by the

offers substitutes in this form is trying
to defraud you and should ic avoided.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of
all druggists or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company.
