■ I have had occasion to use yourV f Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medl- A cine and am pleased to say that I never used anything for stock that gave half as good satisfaction. I heartily recommend it to all owners of stock. J. B. BELSHER, St. Louis, Mo. Sick stock or poultry should not eat cheap stock food any more than sick persons should expect to be cured by food. \\ hen your stock and poultry are sick give them medicine. 1 lon't stuff them with worthless stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possible to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pay for itself ten timesover. Horses work better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. And liens lay more eggs. It solves the problem of making as much blood, flesh and energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food consumed . Buy a can from your dealer.

A HERD EXPOSED.

I used to think my pa was great; The way he talks to ma You d think he was the wisest man A body ever saw. In every fight he ever had The other chaps got licked— They always tumbled just as though A mule had up and kicked. He s seen a lot of splendid sights And been most ev’rywhere. But still 1 guess lie’s not so much— He never killed a bear! At school he used to beat them all When they stood up to spell, And wunst he broke’ his collar bone By failin’ in a well. The other boys got jealous when Him and the girls would meet: In every game he ever played My pa was sure to beat— He's been a Legislature, too; The people sent him there, Hut still 1 guess he’s not so muchlie never killed a bear! My pa he made himself, because I’ve heard him sayin' so. And that's no easy job. The Lord Made other folks, you know. He s heen to Californyou, and He’s been In Europe, too; He's been in war a-fightin' for The old Ted, white and blue. If you could hear him talkin’, oh, 1 11 bet you’d sit and stareHut still I guess he’s not so much, He never kiied a bear!

A LESSON FROM A CIRCUS.

Tho general staff of the French army was all present at the scene of i. battle of Sudan recently for the purpose of receiving an object less on in American organization in. moving, housing, and feeding an arm. us people. The first of the four, ig trains of Barnum & Bailey- < ireus arrived at 5 o’clock, and by ( a hot and elaborate breakfast for " 1 ! 0 was served at tables. Meanwhile every tent had been erected and cu’.ry seat mounted. Costumes had b",.n unpacked and hundreds of hor- stabled, curried and fed. The...staff declared that even the crank artillery regiments could not equal the performance, and the Thirty-sixth field artillery regiment was ordered out from barracks to entrain and detrain. Various faults were pointed out by Mr. Bailey and his superintendent. A stenographer took down the suggestion.-. which will later be embodied in a report to the minister of war. T 1 staff was served with supper in the circus tent, and then the whole cir us melted away toward the next town in three hours.

Scheel’s Prompt Reply.

Fritz Scheel, director of the Philadelphia orchestra, has a fondness for American slang and colloquialisms that its fpir in excess of his aptness in acquiring the exact words and sense. When he first came to Philadelphia in the summer of 1899, he was struck by the expression “out of sight” spoken with fine heartiness to indicate pleasure and satisfaction with the general order of things. Scheel determined to make use of it at the first opportunity and to that end repeated it over and over to himself, always keeping in mind the circumstances under which it should be uttered. Mr. Elias met the musician one afternoon when the latter was playing at Woodside park and cheerily called out: “How are you, Fritz?” “You don’t see me!” was Scheel’s prompt and amazing reply.—Philadelphia Times.

New Jersey’s Leech Industry.

“Hirutlo day” is an anniversary in New Jersey that is never heard of elsewhere. It is the day on which the men who gather leeches for medical use go to town to collect their pay, leaving it till this jiarticular day. Leech buying is not the work for a novice. The question of price is not at all involved in the game, as the leech catchers have the only trust permitted on New Jersey soil, and they fix the price per dozen at which they will sell. Their prices range from if 1.80 to $3.80 per dozen this year, according to the age of the leech. A leech under tho age of eighteen months is not a medicinal leech. His suctorial proboscis is not fully developed until he passes seventeen months, although he acquires a full set of semicircular teeth in his jaws at the age of one year.

How Russell Sage Is Guarded.

Mr. Sage’s office is in the building occupied by the National Bank of Commerce, in Nassau street. In an anteroom sits his faithful guardian and confidential man, Mr. Mcnzics, through whom l lie aged financier must he reached. Mr. Menzies is protected by a partition having a latticed wire top with iron spikes reaching to the ceiling. It would be impossible for a man to climb over these spikes or to throw a bomh between them. Mr. Sage is not alwSys accompanied in the street or in traveling between his home and office by a bodyguard or detective. Frequently lie goes about entirely alone and seemingly is without fear except when in his office.—New York l’ri^s.

CONDENSED STORIES.

General Fitz-Hugh Lee’s Last Cent That Was Presented to Mrs. Gibbon. Major General John Gibbon thus describes his meeting with General Fitz-Hugh Lee at, the McLean house, Appomattox county, Ya., in April, 18G5, at the time of the Confederate surrender: “Going to the door, I found General Fitz Lee seated on his horse and looking, as I thought, somewhat uneasy. He had been a cadet under me at West Point, and I had not seen him for years. As I looked at him a vision of the past came up before me, and I could think only 6f a little rollicking fellow dressed in cadet gray, whose jolly songs and gay spirits were the life of his class. My salutation of ‘Hello, Fitz! Get off and come in/ seemed to put him at his ease at once and brought him to his feet. He came into the house and told me his story. Before leaving, with a grim humor, he took from his pocket a five dollar Confederate note, and, writing across its face, Tor Mrs. Gibbon, with the compliments of Fitz Lee/ he said, ‘Send that to your wife and tell her it's the last cent I have in the world/ ”

A Wily Boer Commandant. A South African correspondent tells how cleverly the Boer Commandant Kritzingor made use of his knowledge of English in the recent war. On one occasion he galloped up to a blockhouse and declared that he was in command of a couple of squadrons of Marshall’s horse and

“I THINK WE HAVE KRITZINGER CORNERED NOW.”

was being hotly pursued by Ivritzinger himself. So well did he tell his story that the blockhouses actually held up the advance of the pursuing column of English with a heavy fire. Hiding up one evening to a blockhouse, dressed In an English captain’s costume and attended by two orderlies, he announced that the column to which he was attached would pass through at midnight on a night march and they were on no account to fire on it. He selected the spot at which he would cross and insisted on absolute silence being observed. “1 think we have Ivritzinger cornered now,” he remarked cheerily, “and so ’elp me,” said the crestfallen noncommissioned officer next morning when he found out his mistake, “if I didn’t salute 'ini and the men give ’im a cheer as ’e rode off.”

A Famous Huckster. At the opening performance of “Bcam aire” its author, Booth Tarkington, was pointed out to a certain lady of Malaprop tendencies as tho “famous Hoosier novelist.” “Why lloosier?” she asked. “That’s what they call a gentleman from Indiana/’ was the reply. A few evenings later on being introduced to Mr. Tarkington at a reception this Mrs. Malaprop enthusiastically exclaimed in an effort to be genial, “So you are the famous huckster!”—New York Times. He Knew His Faro. In the preface to a new translation in English of Tolstoi’s “Sevastopol” an amusing story is told of the way in which a German translator handled the inscription to “Anna Karenina”—“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” That inscription was written by Tolstoi in the ecclesiastical Slavonic used bVHie Russian church, and the translator rendered it: “Revenge is sweet; I will play the ace.” Where Water Was Bcarce. Frederic Yilliers, tho well knowm war artist and. correspondent, declares lie saw the follouing sign in a prominent hotel in an Australian town where water was scarce: “Please don’t use soap when M ashing, as the Mater is required for tea.”
