LITTLE CAUSE FOR WORRY,
More or Less Glittering Bait Held Out
to Cow Punchers.
Over in the Salmon river meadows
country, in Idaho, ranged a wild and
woolly bunch of long-haired cow
punchers, whose knowledge of the
world was confined mainly to trips
after cattle into surrounding counties.
Into this reckless but verdant com
munity there came the smooth
tongued representative of a wild
west show, who hired several riders
at a high salary to do a hair-raising
act, the chief feature being that they
should appear to be thrown from their
horses and dragged by the foot.
After they had practiced in a corral
for a while one of them loosened
himself and rising from the dirt, dis
heveled and dazed, inquired:
“Say, mister, ain't this ruther dan
gerous? We might git killed.”
"That’s all right," chirped the
show's representative cheerfully.
“Your salary will go on just the
same.”—Lippincott’s Magazine.
THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
—Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
of Seventy-Five Cents.
“My little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and a light dress is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus
band said he believed he would have
to die. I had almost given up hope
w'hen a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti
cura Soap aud applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day I commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and I
W'ould have gladly paid $100 if I could
not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

Home. Sweet Home.
The wife of a naval officer attached
to the academy at Annapolis has in
her employ an Irish servant, who re
cently gave evidence of nostalgia.
“You ought to be contented and
not pine for your old home, Bridget,"
said the lady of the house. “You are
earning good wages, your work is
light, everyone is kind to you, and
you have lots of friends here."
“Yis, mum,” sadly replied Bridget;
“but it’s not the place where I be that
makes me so homesick; it is th#
place where I don’t be.”
A Spider That Fishes.
Prof. Berg, in Buenos Ayres, has
discovered a spider which practices
fishing at times. In shallow places it
spins between stones a two-winged,
conical net, on which it runs in the
water and captures small fish, tad
poles, etc. That it understands its
work well is shown by the numerous
shriveled skins of little creatures that
lie about in the web net.
But, They Had Not.
At a political meeting the chain
man asked at the end of the candi
date’s speech whether "anny gintle
man has anny question to ask?”
Some one rose and propounded an
inquiry mildly critical of the prevail
ing political belief. A politician be
hind raised a club and struck him to
the floor. The chairman looked round
and asked quietly: “Anny other gin
tleman a question to ask?”

DOCTOR’S FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Mcst Im
portant Acts in Life.
A Mass, doctor says; “Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal con
trol that the proper selection of food
should be, and is one of the most im
portant acts In life.
“On this subject, 1 may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility,
and more powerful in point of nutri
ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is suf
ficient for the cereal part of a meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another. .
“I am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods of
this character would increase the term
of human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and very considerably im
prove society in general. I am free to
mention the food, for I personally
know of its value.”
Grape-Nuts food can be used by
babes in arms, or adults. It is ready
cooked, can be served instantly,
either cold with cream, or with hot
water or hot niilk poured over. All
sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can
be made with Grape-Nuts. The food
is concentrated and very economical,
for four heaping teaspoons are suffi
cient for the cereal part of a meal.

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
DISCARD THE HOE.
Labor Too Scarce and Too High to
Use Old-Time Methods.
That many have succeeded in mak
ing a crop without using the hoe is a
most important fact. It certainly be
hooves us to learn their method and
to pattern after them as much as pos
sible. If we cannot succeed in dis
carding the hoe altogether, the more
we can dispense with it the better,
since it is the most expensive work
we have to do in making c. crop. The
secret lies in the manner of planting
and in the use of the weeder and har
row to prevent the young grass get
ting a start and thinning the cotton by
the use of these tools instead of chop
ping the cotton to a stand. A machine
has been recently invented to burn all
the lint from cottonseed without de
stroying its germinating power. This
will enable us to drop cottonseed as
we do corn. If this is a success, as
they claim, it will work a revolution
iu cotton planting. Be this as It may,
we are here to learn and to improve
by every suggestion of value. All
wide-awake cotton planters will give
this matter careful consideration and
learn to do without so much hoeing.
Labor is too scarce and tco high to
use the old-time methods. Then cot
ton choppers are on the market that
will "block” the cotton for you. Ex
periment along these lines and work
jut a method that will be satisfactory
to you. Twenty-five years ago Mr.
Tom Boughn, down in Coweta county,
would take a V-shaped harrow with
spiked teeth and run across his cot
ton lows twice and thin it as well as
kill the grass. He would, cultivate his
cotton with less than half the hoeing
given by his neighbors. If you will
run the weeder over your cotton just
as it is coming up, and then every
week for two or three weeks, you can
save wonderfully in the cost of culti
vating your cotton and the hoeing nec
essary witl be light.
PROFITS IN BEEKEEPING.
Of All the Pursuits It Is the Least Ex
pensive.
The latest authentic statistics from
which we can estimate the profits in
beekeeping are the census reports
nstade in the year 1901. According to
these reports, as published in the Year
Book for 1901, the aggregate value of
bees in the United States, June 1,
1900, was $10,180,513, and the aggre
gate value c«f honey and wax produced
for the year 1900 was $0,604,904. This
shows a gross profit of about 05per
cent on the investment, a profit not
excelled, if equalled, in any other pur
suit in our country. And this is the
more significant when it is remem
bered that of all the pursuits beekeep
ing is the least expensive.
Assuming, which is reasonable, that
beekeeping has kept pace with other
pursuits, there is now at least 23 per
cent more bees in value than there
were on June 1, 1900 (or seven years
ago), there would now be bees in this
country amounting in value to $12,
733.141, and the gross annual income
from which would be the sum of
$8,331,130.
In the reports above referred to,
every State in the Union is represent
ed, and, as to profits, it is a notewor
thy fact that no one State has a very
great advantage over aonther, and
what advantage Is shown serins to be
the result of the mode of keeping the
hees and not because of any climatic
influence. The per cent of profit in
Texas and Massachusetts is about the
same, and the same is also true with
reference to Wisconsin and Alabama.
To beekeepers it is encouraging to
know that their little pets are not in
spectors of climate or sections of our
country. Whether north or south of
Mason and Dixon’s line, or on the
chilly shores of northern lakes, or
basking in the eternal sunshine of the
South, they roll in golden treasure
withoilt stint for the human family.
In Europe guinea fowls sell for good
prices. It is said on good authority
that a poultry raiser near Leipsig has
for years made a specialty of these
birds and has sold the product for an
average price of 75c each. The same
writer says that in Paris birds are
sold in summer for 80c and in winter
for 00c each, while the eggs bring
twice as much as hen’s eggs. In the
United Statees the price of guinea
fowls varies greatly with the season,
the locality an# the Individual mar
ket, but has in general advanced con
siderably during recent years. Where
as a pair formerly sold in New York
at 50c to 90c they now bring 90c to
$1.25 or more.

I have grown tired seeing a farmer
struggling with a plowstock that would
not plow right, because it was not ad
justed. I have seen plow hands with
no conception of what might be ac
complished by a display of a little
thought and skill go on hour after
hour trying to do something by main
force which could have been done in
a twinkling by a simple adjustment of
the plow. Then there are others who
go along day after day trying to per
form w'ith the hands what could be
done twice as easily by employing
tome mechanical contrivance.
NERVOUS_COLL/IPSE
IS OFTEN PREVENTED BY DR.
WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS.
Taken When the First Warning Symp
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
Suffering May Be Saved.
Are von troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
exertion, a peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi
ties or a feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. It
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, however, pre
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
uixm the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.
Mrs. E. C. Bradley, of 103 Parsells
avenue, Rochester, N. Y., says:
“ I was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in a run-down condi
tion, I suffered a nervous shock, caused
by a misfortune to a friend. It was so
great that I was unfitted for work.
“I was just weak, low-spirited and
nervous. I could hardly walk and could
not bear ttie least noise. My appetite
was poor and I did not care for food. I
couldn’t sleep well and once for two
weeks got scarcely an hour’s sleep. I
had severe headaches most, of the time
and pains in the back and spine.
“ I was treated by two doctors, being
mder the care of one of them for six
months. I got no relief and then de
cided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I
soon began to feel better and the im
provement was general. My appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the pains
in my back. A few more boxes entirely
cured me and I was able to go back to
work. I felt spleudid and as though I
had never been sick.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are invaluable
in such diseases as rheumatism, after
effects^ of the grip and fevers, neuralgia,
St. Vitus’ dance and even partial
paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by

The Mules Understood.
A story is told of Senator Knute
Nelson, who spent some of his early
years in a logging camp. He there
discovered the necessity of certain
emphatic language in order to make
mules move. “All varieties” of
tongues were in demand in that camp:
Scandinavian, German, Italian—but
none of the words used seemed to
have the explosive force to adjust
the tempo of the mule to the desired
pace Along came a strapping Irish
man, who used some popular exple
tives, usually indicated in print by
blank, blank, or-. The mules
moved! "There’s a language all
mules understand," said the Irishman
—“and it's not me mother tongue,

To her dismay one of the little

“Then he would strike you again

CATARRH™1,”™
AND SYSTEM DISORDERED
Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and
throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping hack
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi
cate ; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The Ifiver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently Be
come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the rcfuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to a
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflam4
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagrees
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
tarrhal poison affects ail parts of the system. The head has a tight, m
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fe^e
