HH McKinley's ambassador to the

V i never thought of swearing off.
HI j Congress appropriated § 200,000
HJ for the relief of the Mississippi riv-
9 er flood sufferers , last week. Many

Hl Thf movement of Secretary of
H | § Agriculture Wilson in the direc-
Hj tion of creating a market for
" * American butter in England is a
practical business experiment and
will meet with the cordial approval
I of the public , and may develop
1 into an important and profitable
I export trade. The secretary has
I adopted exactly the right course
pjwj I to accomplish that result. He pro-
H 1 poses to find out just what is
H wanted , and then supply the want
H if that can be done with profit to
H those who will engage in the en-
H terprise after the experiments have
H proved it feasible , which is the
B only reasonable way of proceeding
m in such matters. Ex.

H Mrs. Ellis' chicken house got so

H ! Who says that there is no mois-
H ture in Western Nebraska , when it

H between times ?
B Some of our farmers are com-
H . plaining of birds eating the wheat
H . that was sown before it could be
H covered , and so had' to sow the
H ground over again.
H The gentleman who is going to
H experiment with the Campbell soil
H packer , this season , will certainly
H have his hands full , as we under-
H stand that they pack the ground
H after each rain. By this way one
H ought to preserve moisture enough
H to raise crops for the next ten years
H though it never rains any more.
H Tkirty years is a long time to fight so pain-
B &d a trouble as piles , but Jacob Mitchell , of
B Unionville , Pa. , straggled that long before he
H tried DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve , which
B quickly and permanently cured him. It is
B equally effective in eczema and all skin af-
B - fections. A. McMillen. {

proved the opportunity while in

another and better showing if pos
sible and approached from the rear
and passed by with no warning
whatever. The horse we were
driving became unmanageable and
ran into a barb wire fence , throw
ing the occupants of the buggy
violently to the ground. No very
severe injuries were sustained other
than a number of ugly bruises.
The horse was not hurt but the
buggy and harness fared badly.
As might be supposed the cause of
all the trouble made a hasty sneak ,
wheel and all , in time to save his
contemptible hide.

troubled with catarrh for over two

lieve Pe-ru-na will do all you claim
if the directions are followed. I
heartily recommend it to all who
are afflicted with catarrh. I should
call my cure lasting , for I have
