even In a few hours. The man who
got him may change his estimate of
the value and be willing to take $90
for him. If no man makes a higher
estimate which he Is willing to make
good, then the value of that horse has
changed from $110 to $90. There may
have been no change at all In the

Useful Items.
To prevent the escape of feathers
from pillows and beds, turn the new
ticks wrong side out and thoroughly
cover the surface with starch, working
it in with the hand until smooth.
To remove varnish from a piece of
furniture requiring revarnishing, rub
it over with a cloth saturated with
equal parts of. gasoline and kerosene.
This penetrates the pores of. the wood
and will cut the most confirmed kind
of surface, .
A damp cloth should be never be
used in dusting highly polished fur
niture. The best materials are soft
worn silk, partly worn silk flannel, and
a fine quality of cheese-cloth. For or
dinary dusting there is nothing better
than old flour, sacks. Do not use a
brush nor a whisk broom, as the dust
rises only to settle back on the furni
ture, or on something else.
. Pennyroyal will drive away ants as
well as flies and mosquitoes, but it is
better to kill them. Cover a plate with
lard or drippings and set it where the
ants are thickest When the plate is
covered with the busy pests, brush
them off into the stove, or dip the
plate in hot water.

Many a traveler in desert lands,
when in danger of dying from thirst,
has been saved by the plant known
as the water or fishhook cactus, says
the New York Commercial. During the
moist season it stores up a large quan
tity of water for the subsequent dry
one, when all the ground is parched
with heat and only channels filled with
stones mark the course of former rivu
lets. So well has this cactus provided
for . the . safety of its precious liquid
that it is no easy task to obtain it. The
exterior skin is more impenetrable
than the toughest leather, and, besides,
it is protected with long, wiry spines
curved into hooks at the end, yet so
strong and springy that if a large rock
be thrown against them they remain
uninjured. If the spines be burned
off one may, by long and tedious ef
fort, cut through the rind with a stout
knife; otherwise nothing but an ax will
enable them to get at the interior of
this well-armored plant When the top
is removed and a hollow made by
scooping out some of the soft inner
part it Immediately fills with water,
cool and refreshing, though a blister
ing sun may have been beating upon
the tough skin above it all day. The
water, when first obtained, has a whit
ish or smoky tint, but when settled is
as clear as crystal.
Cuba cannot help suggesting that a
government so gifted in the matter of
abolishing yellow fever ought to be

SOME ENTHUSIAST SUGGESTS
THESE NAMES FOR PRESI
DENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE-
Holds Both in High Regard as Ex
ecutive Officers and Seconds
the Suggestion.
Theodore Roosevelt must commit
some extremely egregious blunder to
lose his prestige for a nomination In
1904. At present no candidate seems
likely to enter the lists against him.
John Mitchell, by his moderation
and good hard sense in the trying
times of the great strike, has made a
place for himself in the hearts of the
American people a people always im
pressed by manliness. . .
THE TWO NAMES WOULD DRAW
votes from the working people and
lose few from the capitalistic class.
Both enjoy in a large measure the
confidence of the country. In this
great west, we are pretty busy just
now and cannot devote much thought
to a campaign two autumns distant
We are devoting our energies to a
development of latent resources and
the upbuilding of financial institutions
like
THE BANKERS' RESERVE LIFE,
which was founded in Omaha, by Oma
ha people in 1897. It began its ag
gressive career as a standard life com
pany under the law of 1899 and since
that date has placed over $8,000,000
upon its books. From the small be
ginning in 1897 the company has
grown until now it banks from $15,000
to $20,000 per month in cash premiums.
Its second annual dividends to board
members have just been paid and the
state of Nebraska resounds in praise
for the new company.
B. H. ROBISON, PRESIDENT,
needs assistance in. the agency field.
New states are to be covered, new ter
ritory is available. Experienced un
derwriters can do better with the
Bankers' Reserve than with any other
life company in existence. Write, him
to Omaha for circulars and terms.
BANKERS' RESERVE LIFE. .
Perhaps all of the readers of-this
paper have had personal experience in
losses from the effects of cornstalk
disease, as it is now known. The
present season extreme caution should
be used in this direction as the wet
season has caused an unusual amount
of smut among the corn fodder. The
advertisement of E. E. Bruce & Co.,
wholesale druggists, Omaha, Is ap
pearing in this paper offering an anti
dote and preventive of this disease
under the name of "Kine." This is a
very reliable firm. We would advise
our readers to write them for further
information.
