"GROPE THROUGH A CRACK"
Uncle Eph Had at Least One Idea of
How His Hogs Might Have
Got Away.
Uncle Ephraim had two hogs , which
ho kept hi a pen at the rear end of his
little lot. They were of the razor-
linck" variety , and although they were
led bountifully with kitchen waste ,
it seemed impossible to put and fat
on their attenuated frames. One morn
ing when he went out to feed them
they were not there. They hud dis
appeared , leaving no clew as to the
manned In which they had made their
escape.
"What's the matter , Undo Eph ? "
Inquired a neighbor , noticing the deep
dejection with which the old man was
looking down Into the empty pen.
"My hawgs Is done gone , sah , " he
answered.
"Stolen ? "
"No , sah. I don't see no bijjns dat
anybody tuclc 'em. "
"Did they climb out over the top ? "
"No , doy couldn't 'a done dat. "
"How do you think they got away ? "
"Well , sah , " said Uncle Ephraim ,
"my 'pinion Is dat ilem hawgs kind o'
raised deirselves up on aidgo an' oropo

for a time , and then said : "Mamma ,

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop It.
A young Calif , wife talks about coffee :
"It was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial , but my
nerves were so shattered that I waa
a nervous wreck and of course that
means all kinds of alls.
"At first I thought bicycle riding
caused it and I gave it up , but my con
dition remained unchanged. I did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for I was very fond of It. At
that time a friend came to live with
us , and I noticed that after ho had
been with us a week he would not
drink his coffee any more. I asked him
the reason. He replied , 'I have not had
a headache since I left off drinking cof
fee , sorno mo/.ths ago , till last week ,
when I befyn again , hero at your table.
1 don't see how anyone can like coffee ,
anyway , after drinking Postum ! '
"I said nothing , but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five
months ago , and wo have drank no
coffee since , except on two occasions
when wo had company , and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep , but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. Wo were
convinced that coffee caused hla suffer
ing , so ho returned to Postum , con
vinced that coffee was an enemy , In
stead of a friend , and he is troubled
no more with Insomnia.
"I , myself , have gained S pounds in
weight , and my nerves have ceased to
quivor. It seems so easy now to quit
coffee that caused our aches and ails
and take up Postum. "

FIFTY-SIX DEATHS IN MEXICAN
MINE DISASTER.
DUE TO MINER'S ' NEGLIGENCE
Frightful Explosion Occurs at Las Es
pcranzas , Mexico Location of
Dodics Indicate Hard
Fight for Life.
Laredo. Tox. One of I IIP greatest
mine- disasters in the history of Mexi
can coal mining which lias heretofore
experienced several crushing blows ,
resulting in a tremendous loss of life ,
took place Wednesday In the Palau
mine at Las ISsperannas , Mox. The
toll of human life which paid the pen
alty of negligence on the part of some
miner , according to latest reports ,
Is place at seventy. After an ofllcial
report showing fifty-three dead , twelve
additional bodies were recovered ,
bringing the total up to sixty-live ,
while three others liavo died in the
hospitals , making the grand total of
victims thus far sixty-eight.
The explosion occurred in N'o. ! !
shaft of the coal inino of the Efiperan-
baa Mining company , and Is attributed
to the ignition of the mine gas from
the cigarette of a miner who was
smoking contrary to nilcs. The min
ers , mostly Mexicans and Japanese ,
liad assumed their various places in
the different workings shortly after 7
o'clock. At 8:30 : o'clock those at
work above ground wcro startled by ti
loud explosion and almost instantlj a
vast cloud of dust and smoke issued
from the mouth of the shaft.
When the onlookers realized the
meaning of the disaster , assistance
was immediately forthcoming and as
ronn as the air in the shaft could be
purified siifilciently to permit rescuers
to descend many volunteers were
ready to risk their lives in an en
deavor to Miccor their stricken broth
ers below.
Cages were immediately sent down
loaded to their capacity with miners
bent on rescuing their comrades. On
the first and second levels , everything
was found to be Intact , and the men
working in these levels were safe.
The rescue party went down to the
Ihird level , and as hoon as the air
could bo pufliciently cleared , entered
the various shafts and began a hcarcli
for the dead.
Scattered about in various positions
in the workings they found the bodies
of the men , suffocated , their faces in
dicating in many instances the bitter
fight they had waged to reach puie
air and safety without the workings.
The rescuers worked in relays
searching for and carrying to the sur
face the bodies of their dead and
dying companions.
After a lapse of six hours' work ,
llity-three bodies were brought to the
surface , while nearly forty injured
men were removed to hospitals for
treatment. The injured owe their
miraculous escape to the fact that the >
were working at points whore they
were protected from the rush of foul
air. As the bodies were brought out
to the surface , screaming women nnd
children were congregated about the
mouth of the shaft , awaiting' with
hope the rescue of loved ones a hope
which was in almost every instance
turned to despair as corpse after
eorpbe wn- . brought t otlie surface.
Most of the killed were Mexicans ,
the Japanese miners being employed
in > the other parts of the niine.

UNCOOKED MEAT
VERY DANGEROUS
FEARFUL SUFFERING CAUSED BY
EGGS OF PARASITE WHICH IT
MAY CONTAIN STATE-
WENT BY A PRIEST.
Oiimhn , Neb. . Fob. 2. Probably the
most unusual feature of the excite
ment that has been crcnted by L. T.
Cooper's visit to this city Is the re
moval of imrnHltcs or tape worms by
his preparations.
During the early part of Cooper's
etay In Omaha Individuals who were
taldng "New Discovery , " as It Is called ,
brought ulther to himself or to physl-
slaiin throughout the city Immense
parasites that had left the system
uftcr using the medicine.
Many of these people were fright
ened , and cases of thlsi sort became so
numerous that Cooper llnully made
the following statement for publica
tion :
He said : "In every clly I visit
these things nre brought to mo within
a few days nfter my medicine Is sold
in the city. They are what Is known
as the tape-worm , and grow to an
enormous size.
"Few , Indeed , realize how prevalent
these creatures arc. I think I have
been the first to demonstrate what n
large factor they are In the poor health
of this generation. I bellevo that
fully one-half of the chronic stomach
trouble now so universal Is caused by
these parasites.
"Individuals may have them for
years and not bo aware of the reason
for their continued Ill-health , but at
tribute It to many different diseases ,
when In reality one of these creatures
is robbing them ol their vitality.
"These parasites nre taken into the
system in uncooked food or raw meat ,
in the form of an egg , which hatches
almost Immediately. People suffering
from them experience u feeling of
lassitude and are extremely nervous.
The action of Cooper's 'New Discov
ery' seems to be fatal to these great
worms , and in most cases n few doses
of the medicine drives the creatures
from the system. I will have hundreds
of them brought to mo before I leave
the city. "
This grewsomo prophecy has been
amply verified , for not only hundreds
but thousands of Omaha people have
been relieved of some of these fearful
parasites since taking Cooper's prep
aration , and the entire city has been
aroused by the fact.
Some of these parasites are of such
enormous size as to startle the im
agination. The statement of Father
John Baptist Arnolls. one of the best
known and best beloved priests in
this section of the country verifies
this. His statement , among others
given to a reporter , was as follows :
"For years I suffered from what I
thought was a general run-down con
dition of the system caused by stomach
ach trouble. I felt extremely tired all
the time , and it was a great effort to
attend to my duties. I would wako
up in the morning feeling as worn out
as when I went to bed. If I stood for
nny length of time I would have pain
In the lower part of my back , and
would have to sit down.
"I was very nervous and depressed
in spirits , and was troubled with dizzy
spells. I would see spots before my
eyes when I stooped over and raised
up quickly. I had a very irregular ap
petite , and would have palpitation of
the heart after ascending the stairs.
"The talk about Cooper's prepara
tions was so universal that I decided
to try some , although I do not take
patent medicines as a rule. I took
four doses of the 'New Discovery" as
it is called , and a tape-worm about
sixty feet in length left my system.
"I am very thankful for this great
relief , and now I know what has been
the cause of all my suffering. "
The story of Father Arnolis is a
fair sample of the experience of an
astonishing number of Omaha people ,
and Cioper's preparations are selling
hero in Immense quantities. It is now
estimated that ho has sold one hun
dred thousand bottles to date in this
city alone , and the gale is still in
creasing.
Certainly Not Present.
It was in one of the colored schools
of Baltimore , and the teacher was
an inexperienced one. There was talk
ing among the little negroes before
her.
" 1 want absolute silence , " she said
severely.
Still the talking continued.
" 1 want absolute silence , " she re-
pcated again.
At the third demand one very small
girl spoke up boldly.
"Assalute Silence ain't hyar , " she
said. "She's got de toofachc. " Lip-

EIGHTEEN YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
HE IS NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST
FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN ,
CENTRAL CANADA ,
Arriving in Canada in 1891 , just
eighteen years ago , E. A. Gulllomln
could epeak but his nntivo language ,
llo Is a Frenchman , llo had but
n little over two dollars In hta pocket ,
thus being short over HQVCII dollars ot
the ten dollars required to secure en
try for a homestead of ono hundred
and sixty acres. Ho eventually bor
rowed the money and near Forget ,
Saskatchewan , ho started llfo In Can
ada on the homestead in which to-day
he is the fortunate possessor of fifty
quarter sections of land , or 8,000 acres.
Now Mr. Gulllomin did not acquire
all these acres ns a result altogether of
his farming operations , which were
extensive. Ho looked with satisfac
tion upon what ho was doing on hia
limited area , ho was saving , careful ,
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could bo had for about ? 3.00 per aero ,
and ho continued buying as his sav
ings would permit , until now ho has
fifty quarter sections , some of which
ho can sell at $25.00 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushelo.
This year 1m was engaged In thresh
ing on his place for GP/ & days , llo
threshed out 00,000 bushels of wheat ,
of which ho sold 34,000 bushels , ono
train load , at a price varying from 81
to 87 cents per bushel. Ho has on
hand still 10,000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 30,000 bushels of
oats , 7,000 bushels ot barley and fiOO
bushels of llax. Ho owns 101 horses
and a number ot cattle , but slnco the
construction of the railway ho has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
This year ho bought his first thresh
ing machine , paying for it the sum
of $2,100. Ho estimates that the ma
chine earned for him this fall $3,000 ,
thus paying for Itself in ono season
and leaving $000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing , not a filnglo day being lost
in the two months which wcro spent
in this work. The wheat averaged 23
bunhels to the ncro and graded No. 1
and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine
years seven good crops have been har
vested on this farm. For six succes
sive years the returns were excellent ,
that is in the years 1001 , 1902 , 1903 ,
1904 , 1905 and 190G. In the two fol
lowing yearn there was a partial fail
ure. As the years have passed the
quality of the buildings on the farm
have been steadily improved , and are
now as good as can bo found in the
district About $10,000 has been in
vested in this way by Mr. Ouillomin.
The farm consists of 6,880 acres , of
which about C.OOO acres were under
crop this season.

Percy Parklngton rose and brushed
the dust from his knees. Then , draw
ing himself up to his full height , ho
gazed resentfully upon the form of
Miss Muriel Muggins , who nonchalant
ly fanned herself the while.
"Very well , Miss Muggins , " came In
bitter tones from Percy. "Oh , very
well ! You have spurned me , It Is
true ! Indeed , you have spurned mo
twice ! But , though despair eats my
heart , I shall not die ! I mean to go
Into the busy world. I will light ! I
will win ! My name shall become

"Pardon mo for Interrupting you ,

Muggins , "but when you shall have
accomplished all that , you may try me
again. " Lipplncolt's.
