A Telling Retort. ' A telling retort was made by a com mercial traveler to an unkind remark made by a young woman whom he had met at the house of a friend. 'The young woman , of New England origin , Inquired the occupation of the .young man. "I am a commercial traveler , " quiet- fly remarked the young man. "Ah , indeed ! " she returned , in a very -patronizing manner. "Do you know Hintvin my part of the country com mercial travelers are not received In Kpod society ? " " "Nor are they here , madam , " quick ly replied the young man , bowing po litely. An Honest Opinion. Mineral , Idaho , Oct. 16. ( Special. ) 'That ' a sure cure has been discovered for those sciatic pains that make so many lives miserable , Is the firm opin ion of Mr. D. S. Colson , a well-known resident of this place , and he does not hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kid ney , Pills. The reason Mr. Colson is so firm in his opinion is that he bad those terrible pains and is cured. Speaking of the matter , he says : "I am only too happy to say Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. I had awful pains in my hip so I "could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. I think they r.ro a grand medicine. " All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid neys and healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood. With the cause removed there can bo no Rheu matism or Sciatica. Point ol' View.

See ? Watch the Lawmakers. It is a settled fact that , none of the family medicines , or "patent" medi cines , would ever have a large sale unless theygave satisfaction to the people using them. Standard patent medicines that were advertised and sold extensively when the man and woman of 50 or more at this time were boys and girls are yet adver tised and sold in large quantities. Had they possessed no merit ihp would liave been forgotten long ago. And yet certain sensational magazines are engineering a crusade against ? such preparations. It will be well for the people. If they do not wish to be de prived of the right to use family prep arations of that character , to keep an eye on their representative in the "Legislature next winter. Mitchellville ( Iowa ) Index. _ droning tanti alEvidcnce At a .lawyer's dinner the subject of circumstantial evidence was discuss ed. One lawyer , says the New York Tribune , said that the best illustration of circumstantial evidence as proof was in a story he had recently heard. A young and pretty girl had been out walking. On her return her moth 1 er said : "Where have you been , my dear ? " "Only walking in the park , " she re- plied. "With whom ? " pursued her mother. "No one , mamma , " said the young igirl. igirl."No "No one ? " her mother repeated. "No one , " was the reply. "Then , " said the older lady , "ex- plain how it is that you have come home with a walking-stick when you started with an umbrella. " Merely Rustinjj. "More than half the folks who thus -.think that they are wearing out are ' # just rusting out , says the Norwich , Conn. , Bulletin. Right with a feeling of weakness comes a spirit of resig nation. You know what this is a .yielding to conditions a tumbling down. The chances for a person in this world are fighting chances. Most that is won is achieved by activity and energy. The only time to be resigned is when you have to be. You do not have to be so long as there is a fight ing chance. When you feel like being resigned it Is time to summon resolu tion ; that will serve you ten times as well and keep your spirits from giv- } -lug out. _ COFFEE NEURALGIA .Leaves When Yon Quit and Use Postnin A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on -by coffee says : I "I have been a coffee drinker all my life , and used it regularly * three times ja day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia , attacks of ner vous headache and general nervous prostration , which not only Incapaci tated me for doing my housework , but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors , one after the other , but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. ' . "Eight months ago a friend suggest- td ? that perhaps coffee was the cause j of my troubles , and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. J am glad.I took her advice , for my liealth has been entirely restored. I liave no more neuralgia , nor have I liad one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a ' dark room. I do all my own work with ease.

ESZ5H5Z5Z5E5S5Z5H5Z5Z5E5Z5 ZT a TheLastWatcb. on the "Empress" In 5E5H5E5H5H5H5HSH5Z5H5Z5H5ZEHSSSZ5Z Strained , tempest-buffeted , leaking at a dozen seams , her Toretopmast gone , her yards splintered , her sails In rags , and with four feet of water in her lower 'hold , the old bark Empress , three weeks overdue witii a caVgo of rice from Calcutta , came lurching heavily into the lower har bor through the fog of the May af ternoon1. At. her wheel stood the captain , and amids'hips two wearied Swedes were pumping desperate , ! } ' . Brushing aside pilot boats , tugs and quarantine steamer , heedless of the hoarse warn ings screeched from a half-dozen met al throats , she made straight for the crescent of Hospital Bank , and there ran hard and fast aground. As she settled she made a bed for herself in' the soft mud , so that when the tide left her she stood nearly up right. 'During the next week her rat-rid dled cargo was lightered out. Then her owners weighed its fate in coun cil and their verdict was , "Strip and burn. " For five days more the swarm ing riggers worked havoc with knife and hatchet and marlinspike , until , on Friday afternoon , the. decks were litered with food for the junk shop and the oakum factory , and the three masts rose bare of their fa'Sfliar tra cery of rope and spar. At three o'clock on that very Fri day , Emerson Hardy , jus'f turned twenty-two , licensed 'engineer of the gasoline launch belonging to Smith & Cutcliffe , the firmthat owned the bark , had finished cleaning up his boat , after a short trip , and had moored it securely off the foot of the landing stairs. The machinery need ed some repairs , so for two or three days his craft would be out of com mission. He had not the slightest objection , therefore , when his employers asked him to act as watchman for a single night in place of the colored steward , who had for the past ten days stood grand over the vessel , but who had that morningsailed on a fruit ship bound for Jamaica. Smith & Cutcliffe knew well that the bark was safe from harbor thieves * o long as tne engineer hadcharge of it. It was already dark , and a dense fog blanketed the day , when the tug Orion , on its way out to watch all night for incoming vessels , steamed up close to the Empress to set Hardy on board. He scrambled up the low side , and was on deck in a moment. "Don't let the ratseat you np , Em erson ! " callled out the pilot , as the tug swung away. "I'll give you a call In the morning on the ? way in , to see if you are all tfiere. " Hardy flungback a jest in reply. The first things he did after the Orion had vanished in the mist and its dis tant puffing died down to an asthmat ic whisper , were to light his lantern and load his revolver. Then he straightened up and looked about him. him.The The bark was entirely dismantled. Her ragged sails were bundled up , the cordage lay alons the deck In coils and lines , extending from the cabin top forward. In short , the ves sel had been stripped of everything of value in preparation for the final trips of the lighter. The only spot above decks not covered with debris was the roof of the forcastle. With the advance of night the fog grew thicker. Back and forth paced the engineer. He consulted his watch ; It was eight o'clock. He came to a stop near the end of the cabin , where the ship's bell hung tongueless. The fancy came to him to strike the hours upon it , as if he were keeping watch during an ocean voy age ; it would break the monotony of his' ight. With a rusty iron marlin spike , picked up from the deck , he beat out eight clear , silvery notes from th-e sea-mellowed brass. The night wore on. Every thirty minutes Hardy paused near the bin nacle , and the bell pealed out its warning beneath his vigorous arm one stroke at half past eight , two at nine , and so on. But the hours moved slowly. He wasT just on the edge of the channel , and up to midnight there was plenty ot passing passenger-boats , freigh- Tefa , "tugs towing lines of barges ; he could hear and tell them all , although the fog hid them from view. Toward twelve o'clock they thinned out , and It would have been loneiy enough on the deserted hulk but for th rats. They were present In scores , great , gray , leaping bewiskered fellows , scurrying about decks and quarreling with one another , no half-tame in offensive house animals , but savage , impudent brutes , born and bred on shipboard. For want of anything better to do , Hardy watched them. Finally he grew tired , and at midnight , after eight strokes on the bell , went down into the cabin. In the middle of the floor stood a huge rat. The watch man shouted at it. The beast lifted its head inquiringly without a sign of fear , and then trotted leisurely Into the captain's stateroom. Hardy stretched himself out In a dilapidated haircloth armchair , the sole remaining article of furniture , set his lantern down near by and tried to fancy himself in command of the bark on a foreign voyage. He lost consciousness for a time , but was sud denly roused by a sharp pain in the right hand. Springing up , he flung from him with a shudder of disgust a rat which , emboldened by his sil ence , had leaped into his lap and bit ten the knuckle of his middle finger. He looked at his watch" . It was nearly two o'clock , the time when man's life forces are said to be at their lowest eb'b. Over the decks ! above , Hardy could bear numberless feet pattering aritf racing , while the air was rent by shrill , continuous squeals. In the cabin itself were fully a dozen rats , darting in and out of the open staterooms. Taking his lantern , Hardy went up the compan- ionway. The tide , which was almost high gurgled steadily into the hold tkrouiv" the open seams , driving all the rat- upward. Until a few days before , tlv ; animals had had enough to eat fron > the cargo to keep them from being' hungry , but now lack of food had made them savage. The decks v/eri ; literally alive with them , running squealing , fighting. Hardy had no sense of fear , but the incessant squabbling wearied him and he longed for the approach of morning. He almost wished that the harbor thieves would put in an ap pearance. They could easily be frightened off by a show of his re volver ; and almost any human inter ruption would be welcome to vary this 'ceaseless squealing. The turmoil on the decks increased. The watchman started forward , and trod oa the tail of one of the rats. The animal turned upon him and sank its teeth into his ankle with a shriek. There was something about that note different than the others. As its sound a dead silence sucTdenly foil upon the bark , and Hardy was aware that every rat turned toward him. Another shrill , vicious "call from his assailant , and in an instant the en gineer found himself the object of ut- tack by scores of foes. Against the binnacle leaned a wooden capstanbar. Hardy siezed this with his right hand , and with the latern in his left , vaulted upon the cabin roof , which rose about four feet above the deck. He gained thereby a moment-ivy respite , but soon his enemies discover ed his whereabouts. Up they smarm ed , clambering over the festoong of rigging along the dge of the cabin top. The watchman set down his lantern , grasped the capstan > bar tightly with both hands , and began to lay about him with long , sweeping blows that sent rat after rat flying over the rail into the sea. Ah first the engineer despised his assailants. It seemed absured to think that his safety could be seriously dangered by such contemptible ani mals. They assailed him from behind and he wheeled to meet them , rain ing his blows in every direction , and striving to shake himself free from their attack. B'ut they pressed him hard , with an ominous , deadly earn estness , and it did not take him long to realize that he was fighting for his very life. Hardy's wiriness now stood him in good stead. A bigger , clumsier man could not have handled himself so quickly. Up and down , right and left , swept the 'capstan-bar ' like a flail. He grew sick of the massacre. He could see nothing outsidl the little mist-walled circle illumined by the lantern. Slay as many as he might , their numbers seemed unthinned , and their assault continued with undimin- ished vigor. His arms were , wearied with wielding the bar , but he had to fight on. Had Hardy cared , he would have jumped overboard ; but he was only a very ordinary swimmer , the water was cold , and the shore n arry a mile away. But something must be done at once. His breath was coming short. He stumbled and almost fell. Once down ! He shuddered at tho thought and wielded his bar desperately. An incautious sweep caught the lantern , and whirled it over the rail with a jingling crash of glass. The watchman's face was now turned toward the bow. Asvhe 'shot ' a glance forward through the mist , he caught a glimpse of the forecastle , rising above the littered decks. Once on its top he would be safe. Could he gain it ? One jump took him off the cabin to the break ; another plant ed his feet on the main deck amid ships. His enemies pursued him. The black 'square of the open hatch yawned before him. Round it he dart ed , threading his way among the rope coils. Once or twice he was almost thrown headlong. Close before him rose the fore castle. It was six feet high. Could he reach Its summit ? He must. Up he leaped and flung his hands ov r the edge. Beneath him the rats bit at his feet an3 hung at" " the bot toms of his trousers. With a mighty effort he threw iis left leg up over the side of the roof , caught his heel , and a moment later lay there in safe ty , half-fainting. There Hardy spent the remainder of the night. With the coming of dawn a fresh landbreeze dispersed the fog , and as the tide fell the rats dis appeared into the hold to search for scattered rice grains. When the Orion took the watchman off at six o'clock the decks showed no signs of life. Late that evening , as the lighter drew away toward the city with its last load , a match touched to a ball of rags soaked In kerosene lighted up a beacon visible afar over sea and land , the funeral pyre of the Empress. The flames danced along-her bul warks and streamed up her masts , until she stood in luried outline against the 'surrounding gloom. But before the conflagration touch ed them the rats leaped overboard , and soon the firelit surface was alive with swimming forms. Few reached the shore , however , for the sea was rough through the long mile they had to traverse. Meanwhile the old bark burned far into the night , until her | upper works , were consumed ; and it was well toward morning when the rising tide put out the flames. Youth's Companion. HENRY SLADE DEAD. The Noted Spiritualistic Medium Dies in a Michigan Sanatarium , Aged 80. Henry Sl'ade ; the noted spiritualis tic nredium , who died recently in the Belding , Michigan , Sanatarium with nobody to claim his remains , as stated by a despatch from there to supposed relatives at Lockport , N. Y. , was a Niagara county man. He was one of the most noted slate writers in the world and created a great' sensation years ago. He exhibited his weird and so-called occult powers before most of the crowned heads o Europe. Some of his performances , it is said , baffled the close investigation of scientists. Henry Slade was about 80 years old at the time of his death. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Slade of Johnson's Creek , and was born in that little hamlet in the town of Hart ford , Niagara county , when most of the county was a wilderness. The Slades were among the first settlers. Henry attended the district school and later went to a local seminary. One of Henry's schoolboy friends was Abe Taylor , the patriarch of Johnson's Creek , he is now over 80. Mr. Taylor relates that Slade , when a mere youth , used to exhibit his strange powers in a manner that made their blood creep. He could make a table with a lighted lamp lean toward him by a mere motion of the hands. The table , which he did not touch , would incline to an angle of 45 de grees , yet the lighted lamp would maintain its equilibrim and never up set. He could place his hand on top of a piano when 21 years of age and lift both piano legs off the floor. Over animals he presented a mar velous influence. He was known as a great colt breaker and bull tamer. He used to entertain his young friends by slate writing and many of them held him in absolute awe. Slade left Lockport .when about 21 and began his tours later. In New York he turnedaway great crowds. He went to Europe and Kings and Queens and their courts gave him audiences. Emperor Napoleon III. gave him a three caret diamond. It is said He was at one time worth ? million. New York Sun. A Tragedy of Foolhardiness. As a result of the foolhardy nn\c- tice of inexperienced persons enter ing the cages of wild beasts , a terri ble tragedy was yesterday found tc have taken place at Blackpool. When , during the day , a butcher went to the stockyard of the Blackpool Tower Company at South Shore , where sick and reserve animals for the menagerie are kept , he was terri fied to find the three lions roaming at will about the yard. He obtaine'l assistance , and drove them back to the cage , where the. mangled and half-eaten body of a man was then discovered. On the remains being re covered , they were found to be those of a carter named Livesey. who was in the employ of the Tower Company. He had been heard to express his intention of going into the cage where the lions were kept , and late on Saturday night he was seen to enter the stockyard with another man. Cries of fear were afterward heard , coming from within , and short ly afterward a man was seen run ning away from the stockyard. The manager of the Tower Company states that Livesey had no right to go into the cage. London Pall Mai ] Gazette. "Yankee Doodle" an Irish Jig. Mr. W. H. Grattan Flood writes : Will you allow me to point out to you that the tune of "Yankee Doodle" is an old Irish jig of the early eigh teenth century , well known in Ireland still as "All the Way to Galway ? " Your statement that it was composed by Dr. Schuckburgh is a slip. You probably meant that he wrote the doggerel words , which is generally admitted , but he merely adapted his verses to the Irish jig , which was printed as "Yankee Doodle" in 1782 , and was subsequently introduced by Arnold into his "Two to One.

' A COUNTRY THAT IMPROVES ON I ACQUAINTANCE. Crop Conditions in Western Canada Were Never Better tfcan Th y Ar To-day. In order to secure the attention of the reader to any special article that is brought before the public It is often the custom to lead the reader on by the introduction of an interesting story , until by one bold jump he Is Intro duced to the subject that it is desired shall be brought to his notice. This Is not fair to the reader , and it Is not the Intention to do that In this article. It will discuss in the briefest way "Western Canada" and its possibilities for settlement For the past six or seven years , the government of the Dominion , of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers throughout the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of , the large area of fertile lands was discussed , the possibilities of the coun try as a grain-growing district were talked of , and the story of the suc cess of farmers from the United States was told. The story Is not yet an old one. The two hundred thousand from the United States , who have made Western Canada their home , who have taken advantage of the 160 acres of land that the government gives free to actual settlers are telling the story to-day to their friends. They have proven the statements made through these columns , and by the government agents. They have produced from their lands twenty , thirty , forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre , and netted prolits ranging from throe to ten and more dollars on everj * acre tilled. They have found the climate fully as good as they were told it would be , schools were convenient and easily organized , railways were not far distant , and markets .close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them , and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land , because it was low- priced and good , and hundreds of cases could be cited where the purchase price of the land was paid out of tho first crop. The writer knows of cased this year where the farmer , as a re sult of the yield on his farm , was put in a position that would enable him to Increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for It. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada ? But what may be said of this year ? We are now In a position to speak re garding it. The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Al berta and Saskatchewan have been re markably favorable. Had conditions been no better than in past years , there would have been every cause for con gratulation. We flnd , though , all pre vious rec.-ords broken , and that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hundred million bushels of a yield , or 25 bushqls to the acr Could anything better be desired ? Cov ering the entire country the same splendid reports are , being received. The following dispatch W JH sent by Mr. P. W. Thompson , Vice President of the Ogilvle Milling Co. , one of the most careful grain men in Amerfca : "Have just returned from covering "several hundred miles of the crop dis trict. I never saw anything like it in "this country before. The average "yield and quality far exceeds our "earlier expectations. It is an im- "inense crop. The weather is extreme- "Jy favorable. " Up to three 'weeks ago it was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the crop would not reach general ex pectations. F. W. Thompson sends another tele gram from Winnipeg to-night , saying that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred million bushels. Be fore he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure. The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a de cision if you wish to better your con dition ; or , if you have a family of boys that you wish to become settled on farms. It Is a safe proposition to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian government agent , and get particulars as to most auitable districts and rail way rates. The Great Man.
