ed with the apparent Indifference of
Ills colleagues toward their legislative

will demand the enforcement of the
house rule adopted away back In 1S72,
providing that members shall not re
ceive pay for those days they do not
spend In attendance on the sessions
of the house.
"I am in earnest about this," Mr
Dwight said. "It has been threatened
before and nothing has been done. But
this is the short session; we hnvo a
great deal of work to do. That work
cannot be accomplished If half the
time is spent In securing quorums."

He Worried the Judge.
A rtory was recently told of the elder
Judge I'eckham, father of thu supreme
court Justice. In the early days of
dentistry a hickory plug was put Into
the cavity to fill the space where u
tooth ought to be. This plug had to
bo gently pounded Into Its desired po
sition. The old judge was somewhat
addicted to strong language, and when
the d'-ntlst began his wor ktho judge
Indulged In some classic comment. A:
the tupping of the plug continued he
threw all dignity to the four winds of
heaven, and his language became de
cidedly "more forcible than elegant."
When, however, he arose from the
chair nfter what seemed to him an
Interminable period of agony he pulled
out all the stops In his vocabulary for
a grand climax. The- impression on
his listener seems to have been deep
nnd lasting. As the Judge passed out
the dentist grimly remarked to a wait
Ing patient;
"Wasn't it beautiful? It wasn't real
ly necessary to pound half so loug.
but I did so enjoy his Inflection that I
almost pounded the hickory plug Into
splinters. Wonderful command of
language the judge has!" Caso and

Help the Children.
"There Is nothing in all the world
eo important ns children, nothing so
interesting. If you ever wish to go In
for some philanthropy. If you ever
wish to bo of any real use in the world,
do something for children. If you
ever yearn to be truly wise, study chil
dren. We can dress the sore, bandage
the wounded, imprison the criminal,
heal the sick and burj the dead, but
there is always a chance that wo can
save n child. If the grent nrmy of

race's salvation. It will bo because a
little child has led them." David Starr

Strange Storehouses,
In the old birds' nests that are placed
near the ground In shrubs nud small
trees close to hazelnut bushes and bit
tersweet viues one will often Hud
a handful of hazelnuts or bittersweet
berries. They were put there by the
white footed mice and the meadow
mice, which visit these storehouses reg
ularly. Very often a white footed
mouse will cover a bird's nest with
fine dried grass and Inner bark and
make a nest for Itself. New York

Old Daddy Longlegs.

Of all the ways of hunting surely
that of the hlllmeu of Garhwal Is the

of goat: "Having driven the tahr Into
deep nullahs with most precipitous
sides, out of which there are certain
well known tahr runs, they proceed
to cover these runs where the ground
Is most difficult with mats made ot
spilt bamboo which have been pre
vlously well drenched In water. The
result Is the mats freeze and become
ns slippery us glass. Then they fright
en the herd and drlvo them over these
mats, with the result that they are
precipitated from the cliffs and that
tho Garhwall pick up the remains
perhaps twelve basketfuls."

THIRTY YEARS OF SUCCESS.
The Rexall Store Offers a Remedy
For 'Catarrh The Medicino Costs
Nothing if It Fails.
When a medicine effects a successful
treatment in a very large majority of
cases, and when we offer that medi
cine on our own personal guarantee
that it will cost .the user nothing If It
dons not completely relieve catarrh, It
Is only reasonable that people should
believe us, or at least put our claim
to a practical test when we toke all
the risk. These are facts which wo
want the people to substantiate. Wo
want them to try Itexall Mucu-Tone,
a medicine prepared from n prescrip
tion of a physician with whom catarrh
was a specialty, and who has a record
of thirty years of envlnblo success to
his record.
Wo receive more good reports about
Itexall Mucu-Tone than we do of all
other catarrh remedies sold In our
store, and if more people only knew
wiiat a thoroughly dependable remedy
llcxall Mucu-Tone is, It would be the
only catarrh remedy wo would have
any demand for.
Itexall Mucu-Touo is quickly absorb
ed and by its therapeutic effect tends
to disinfect and cleanse the entire mu
cous membraneous tract, to destroy
and remove the parasites which Injure
the membraneous tissues, to soothe tho
irritation and heal the soreness, stop
the mucous discharge, build up strong,
healthy tissue and relieve tho blood
and system of diseased matter. Its
Influence is toward stimulating the
muco-cells, aiding digestion and Im
proving nutrition until the whole body
vibrates with healthy activity. In a
comparatively short time it brings
about a noticeable gala in weight,
strength, good color and feeling of
buoyancy.
We urge you to try Itexall Mucu
Tone, beginning a treatment today.
Ai any time you are not satisfied, sim
ply come and tell us, and wo will quick
ly return your money without question
or quibble. We have Boxall Mucu-Tono
In two sizes, no cents and $1.00. Be
momber you can obtain Bexall Reme
dies only at our store The Bexall Store.
