He Bit.
Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham of
New York said of graft at a recent
dinner:
‘‘The grafter isn’t so easily canght;
lie isn’t quite so naive as an old fellow
they used to tell about in Andover.
“This old fellow was suspected of
tampering with the church collections.
A coupie of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then one
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
“ ‘That’s a fine horse, deacon,’ the
old fellow shouted. ‘Did you buy him
at the fair?’
“‘Yes,’ said the deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added:
“ ‘I bought him with my pickings
out of the collection plate.’
“The old man looked horrified.
“Good gracious!’ he said. ‘I've oft-
en taken enough myself to buy a hat
or a pair of trousers; but, deacon, in
takin' enough to buy a horse ain’t ye
committin’ a positive sin!”’
MUCH EXCITED
ABOUT CASE
Mrs. Justice Refuses to Allow
Operation and Is Relieved by
Cardui, the Woman’s
Tonic.
Pedro, ©.—“I suffered for 35 years
with weakness and female troubles,
and nothing has done me so much good
as Cardui,” writes Mrs. Martin B. Jus-
tice, of Pedro, O. “Before I took Car-
dui, the woman’s tonic, I became so
bad that my son, who is a physician,
wanted to have me operated on, but I
refused and gave Cardui a trial. I had
been so weak I c®uld scarcely stand on
my feet, but had taken Cardui only a
few days when I became so much
stronger. 1 had prolapse and became
very much excited, but was greatly re-
lieved as soon as I began to take Car-
dui. 1 thank you again and again.”
Cardui is, a pure vegetable extract,
of special benefit to women, at the
times when they need a tonic. For
over half a century it has been in use
by those who have known of its bene-
ficial effects, and is today in use in
thousands of homes, where it relieves
and prevents pain and brings back
strength and ambition. Safe, reliable,
scientific, successful.
Try Cardui, the woman's tonic.
STEER IN STORE

PATRONS AND CLERKS FLEE FOR
LIVES AS THE ANIMAL
ENTERS DOOR.
TRIES TO INVADE HOTEL
Logansport, Ind., Scene of Frenzied
Scramble as Maddened Beast
Charges Through City’s Princi-
pal Business Streets.
Logansport, Ind.—Pursued by men
on horseback, a wild steer that had
just been shipped in from the west
broke from a stockade and tore madly
through the streets. The steer ran to
the business district, and with two
horsemen behind, trying to rope the
frightened animal, it turned into
Fourth street, the city’s busiest thor-
oughfare.
After running for nearly a block in
the middle of the roadway, the ani-
mal bolted upon a sidewalk, and, bel-
lowing loudly, raced along, scattering
pedestrians like chaff before the wind.
Boxes piled upon the sidew7alk in front
of Dewenter’s furnishing store,
blocked the animal’s progress, and it
turned and entered the store. Clerks
and patrons who were in the place at
the time quickly mounted counters
and ladders.
Panting and snorting, the crazed
steer came to a standstill in the mid-
dle of the store. John McGillian, em-
ployed at the City National bank, next
door, who was in the store at the
time, ventured near to soothe the
frightened steer, but at that moment
the animal saw its own reflection in
a swinging plate glass mirror at the
rear of the store, and with a snort and
fling of heels high in the air, the ani-
mal dashed tow'ard the glass.
With lowered head the steer
charged the mirror. The animal struck
the mirror with such force that its
head and forepart of its body became
fastened in the frame so tightly that
clerks had to assist it in getting free.
Again free, the steer backed in be-
hind one of the counters and started
to run along the narrow path toward
the front of the store.
Herman Bailey, one of the clerks,

With a Lowered Head the Steer
Charged the Mirror.
Finally the animal gained the front of
the store and again took possession of
the main aisle. There it stood look-
ing at the crowd which filled the door-
way and the sidewalk.
Dashing out of the store, the ani-
mal turned into Broadway and then
swerved in at the Murdock hotel. But
the crowd in front scared the steer,
and instead of entering the lobby, as
it seemed it was going to, it ran into
the alley at the side. The two horse-
men and two patrolmen followed and
in the narrow space tried in vain to
corner the steer.
In bolting out of the alley the ani-
mal ran full into a cab that was stand-
ing in front of the hotel. With head
lowered the frenzied steer struck the
cab and raised it until it stood only on
two wheels. The steer then backed
out and ran into Dykeman's feed barn.
It did not stop, but went out the
rear door and through the streets
again. It circled about the business
section and finally entered a yard at
the corner of Thirteenth and Erie
avenue, Here, after much effort, the
animal was lassoed and taken back to
the stockade.
Yields to Call of Wild.
San Francisco.—Bertha Socha, a
fullblooded Indian girl, 16 years old,
cannot resist the call of the wild. She
has been a servant in the home o
Mrs. Margarita Salona, a Mexican
woman living jn this city. The gir
left the house recently to camp among
the trees in Golden Gate park, living
on birds snared at the lake’s rim
sleeping under the stars at night and
dodging the strolling visitors by day.
FREED AT LAST
From the Awful Tortures of Kidney
Disease.
Mrs. Rachel Ivie, Henrietta, Texas,
■ays: “I would be ungrateful if I did
not tell what Doan’s
Kidney Pills have
done for me. Fifteen
years kidney trouble
clung to me, my ex-
istence was one of
misery and for two
whole years I was un-
able to go out of the
house. My back ached all the time and
I was utterly weak, unable at times to
walk without assistance. The kidney
secretions were very irregular. Doan’s
Kidney Pills restored me to good
health, and I am able to do as much
work as the average woman, though
nearly eighty years old.”
Remember the name—Doan’s. Sold
by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-

HAD ONE GOOD POINT
Young Guest—It seems to me that
you don’t object to the mosquitoes
singing in your room.
Old Guest—You bet I don’t. Why,
when the mosquitoes are singing I
can’t hear the glee club practicing on
the piazza.
NEW FARMING EMPIRE
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.
Half Million Fertile Acres in New Re-
gion Added to Texas Agriculture.
By November 1st, 19,09, the Wichita
Valley Railroad (Burlington System,
the best farm developing road in
America) will complete and commence
passenger service on its line from
Stamford to Spur, the terminal town
in Dickens County, Texas.
This town is in the center of a tract
of 673 square miles of the smoothest,
most fertile virgin farm lands in Tex-
as—farms in which are offered to
homeseekers at prices from $12.00 to
$17.50 per acre on easy terms—one-
fifth down, balance in six annual pay-
ments. Wonderfully adapted to cot-
ton—no boll weevil ever known—
corn, alfalfa, grain, fruits, vegetables,
and all the products of the farm known
to this latitude. It is the coming hog
country, nowhere can they be ma-
tured more cheaply, and cholera is ab-
solutely unknown in this belt; quick
run to Fort Worth market.
- Delightful climate—altitude 2000 to
2500 feet—not on the plains. Some of
the lands are covered with mesquite
trees—others are open or mixed. Deep
rich soil with great variety to char-
acter—chiefly sandy loam and choc-
olate loam with clay subsoil. Water
generally shallow. Will be sold in
quarter-sections or upward direct to
the homeseeker from o\yners, with no
sale commissions to load the price
to the farmers. Clear title is guaran-
teed. The great extent of this body
guarantees to the first farmers wide
range of selection to find a home which
exactly suits as to lay of land and
character of soil.
Recognizing the great possibilities
and wonderful future of Spur Farm
Lands, the State has decided to place
an experiment farm station at Spur.
This will be a great benefit to the
settlers in that region—showing them
by actual demonstrations on the lands
I what crops can be most profitably
raised; best methods of cultivation,
| and assisting in all the problems of
j the farm. This decision was reached
j after a visit to the lands by Judge Ed.
i R. Kone, Commissioner of Agriculture,
; and Dr. H. H. Harrington, Director of
; Experiment Stations, who recognized
i their unusual farming value,

And There Are Others.
The cook had been called away to a
sick sister, and so the newly wed mis-
tress of the house undertook, with the
aid of the maid, to get the Sunday
luncheon. The little maid, who had
been struggling in the kitchen with a
coffee mill that would hot work, con-
fessed that she had forgotten to wash
the lettuce.
“Well, never mind, Pearl. Go on
with the coffee and I’ll do it,” said the
considerate mistress. “Where do they
keep the soap?”

Against Pretenses.
Away with all those vain pretenses
of making ourselves happy within our-
selves, of feasting on our own
thoughts, of being satisfied with the
consciousness of well-doing, and of de-
spising all assistance and all supplies
from external objects. This is the
voice of pride, not of nature.—Hume.
Will Seek the South Pole.
A. Henry Savage Landor, the Eng-
lish explorer, who will soon make an
attempt to reach the south pole, is of
the opinion that Lieut. Shackleton
failed through having a cumbersome
and unnecessarily large expedition.
Mr. Landor's theory is that a small
caravan of trusted and hardy men,
lightly equipped as in his expeditions
through Asia and Africa, is best. Mr.
Landor’s activity in aeronautic inves-
tigations' gives color to the rumor that
an airship will be used by him in his
expedition.
Reaching Life’s Goal.
If you want to be somebody in this
world you must assert your individ
uality and assert it in the right direc-
tion, so that it may lead to a goal of
honor for yourself and be an example
for others. Find out what you ought
to do, say to yourself: “I must do it,"
then begin right away with “I will do
it,” and keep at it until it is done.

We know of no other medicine which has been so sue-'
cessfui in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so
many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con-
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is made ex-
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
Minneapolis, Minn.:—“ I was a great sufferer from female
troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition
of the system. I read so much of what Lydia E, Pinkham’s
Y egeUble Compound had done for other suffering' women, I felt
sure it would help me, and I must say it did help me wonder-
fully, Within three months I was a perfectly well woman.
“ I want this letter made public to show the benefits to bo
derived from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”—
Mrs. JohnG-.Moldan, 2115 Second St.North, Minneapolis,Minn.
Women who are suffering from those distressing ills
peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts.
or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to restore their health.
