CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON Hm Faith That Pe-m-na Will Eradi cate Catarrh* HON. DAVID MEEKISON, OP OHIO. It is to Congress that our nation must look for all power. Every volition of the govern ment must originate in this body of repre sentatives. The President simply executes the will of Congress. Congress is supposed to carry out the will of the people. Con gress is the brain of the nation. The people are the blood of the nation. Good blood makes good brain. Good brain makes suc cess, contentment and happiness, whether of a nation or of an individual. A man with poor blood cannot succeed. His nerves are weak, his brain fogged and his will para lyzed. Good blood is simply well digested food. A stomach with the slightest catarrh al impairment cannot properly digest food. Pe-ru-na quickly procures perfect digestion. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh whether of the head, stomach, throat, lungs or kidneys. A man perfectly free from catarrh is nearly always a well man. Washington, D. C., April, 1898. The Pe-ru-na Drug M'fg Company, Colum bus, Ohio: Gentlemen—I have vsed several bottles of Pe-ru-na and feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head, and feel en couraged to believe that the continued use will fully eradicate a disease of thirty years' standing. Yours respectfullv, D. MEEKISON. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufactur ing Company, Columbus, Ohio, for a fsee catarrh book. Motive.—It is not the motive, properly speaking, that determines the working of the will but it is the will that imparts strength to the motive. As Coleridge says: "It is the man that makes the motive, and not the motive the man."—James McCosh.

KSTASLISHCD ITM. •mhmwmiiimmimmmmhimimm# JIM TRENBAR'S LUCK INT the strong, clear light of the Au gust morning the sheriff of Bandera county and his deputy rode out from the timberland thai skirted the river bottom and drew rein. Before them lay the prairie burned brown by the sun stretching away to meet the faint gray lines of the horizon. The sheriff's face was lean and dark with the sharpened, watchful look of a timber wolf on the trail of its prey. His eyes glanced keenly from under neath the hand which he had raised to shade them,as he scanned the prairie long and attentively. The deputy shifted to an easier posi tion in the saddle and pushed the som brero back from his heated forehead. He was a young man with a heavy, 3tolid cast of features. The curling ends of his red-brown hair reached al most to his shoulders. His long, mus cular throat rose like a column from the loose collar of his coarse wool shirt. The stout little broncho uponwhich he sat pulled peevishly at the bridle and blew the foam from its nostrils. They had traveled far and fast since sunrise and there was still the prospect of a long, hard gallop before them. The deputy felt that his strength needed re enforcement. This fact was the more vigorously impressed upon him since the means of reenforcement was at hand. He drew a flat, black bottle from his hip pocket and held it up to the light. It showed a little more than half full. He put it to his mouth and drank with evident zest of the contents. The sheriff took his hand from his eyes and eyed him thirstily. "Have some, Bill?" the deputy said, speaking with his soft, lazy drawl and extending the bottle toward the sher iff, who received it without comment and drank deepty in his turn. The deputy wiped his mouth on his wrist and gave a 'hitch to his cartridge belt. "Well, what's the next move?" he asked, when the bottle had been re stored to its former security in his pocket. The sheriff leaned forward, resting his elbow upon the pummel of his sad dle and rubbing his prominent, un shaven chin thoughtfully with the palm of his hand. His narrow, deep set eyes were contracted until only a tiny gleaming line of light showed be tween the lids. "Our man's gone north," he said, at length. "Struck out straight for the Rio Grande. He's got a good horse under him and five hours the start but—" He straightened up suddenly and thrust his feet farther into the stirrups, "we're after him, and it's a good man that can git away from the sheriff of Bandera county with a hull skin. I reckon he'll make for the North fork. He won't trust himself to the open prairie in broad daylight. If I can head him off before he gits tliar—" He looked at his deputy, who answered with a look that said plainly they could and would. The sheriff touched his wild-eyed lit tle mare with the spur. She plunged forward, with the deputy's broncho close upon her track. A fine yellowish dust lifted itself from the withered grass stalks and weeds and hung- about them as they rode. The sun poured its level rays full upon the parched and lifeless prairie and upon the two men galloping with grim set faces in the pursuit of justice. All day long the man upon the black horse had been steadily making for the Mexican border. It was nearing sunset now. The man's slight figure drooped wearily in the saddle. His head had sunk upon his breast and the reins lay loosely in his relaxed fingers. The black horse still galloped, but slowly. His nose was t'hruat far forward and either wide nostril gave a glimpse of the red within. Great flakes of foam dropped from his bit or floated back upon the wind of his motion against his quivering shoulders. All day long he had galloped—gal loped almost without pause, under the burning southern sun, across the scorched earth toward the creek there, whose sluggish shallow tide the sun cet had reddened until it had looked like a trail of blood. They had long since left the open prairie behind them. Here the ground was newer, broken by sloping hillocks and clumps of chap arral and here and there a scrub oak, affording excellent advantages for hid ing. He must be keen of scent in deed who would ferret out a man in such a place—keen of scent and sharp of eye, with along and efficient training in thief-catching. With a deep-drawn breath of relief Trenbar brought the black horse to a standstill in the shadow of a clump of chaparral and slipped heavily down from the saddle. He was all but spent with hunger and weariness and nerv ous tension, nis face was pale and his knees shook under him. Yet his first thought was not for himself, but for the animal beside him. He removed both saddle and bridle and rubbed down the tired limbs. Then he led the horse by the mane down to the creek, and they drank together— Trenbar throwing himself prone upon the sand with his lips laid to the water. It was so still there in the low west ern light. The ripple washing faintly, the horse's heavy breathing as he drew the water in in long thirsty draughts —these were the only sounds, but they smote the air with thrilling dis tinctness. Once the horse flung up his head with a start and thrust his head sharply for ward in the attitude of listening. In that moment Trenbar's heart seemed to stand still, but he smiled when the horse dropped his nose again upon the water. "Poor old Chief," he said "I reckon you're as nervous as I be." A single long-drawn bird note came plaintively from a tangle of weeds on the farther bank. Trenbar turned the horse about and led him up out of the water. Then leaving him to crop the grass, which grew fresh along the stream, he drew some corn cakes and bacon from the saddle pocket and pro ceeded to break his long fast. Lower and lower sank the sun until it rested a globe of fire upon the rim of the horizon. Soon it would drop from, sight and night would be upon the prairie. Trenbar at full length on the grass in the shadow by the chap •ml watched it drowsily, thinking that before it set again he and Chief would be safe beyond the Bio Grande.1 Five hours the start and the fleetest horse in southwestern Texas to carry him had given him an advantage which even the sheriff of Bandera county would find it hard to cope with, and yet— To use his own expression, Trenbar had been born under an unlucky star. He had drifted down to Bandera coun ty from a point far north a year before, bringing with him all he possessed in th,fc way of goods ,and chattels—the black horse Chief. Chief soon won for himself a reputa tion both for beauty and speed and Trenbar received many offers to sell Lim, one and all of which he put aside, for the horse was dear to him beyond anything on earth. Many and many a time he had gone hungry that Chief might be fed, and well-nigh barefoot that Chief might be shod. Dire in deed would be the necessity which would bring about a separationbetween them. For a time Trenbar worked with a fair amount of industry at whatever he could find to do. He had tried pretty much everything in the money-making process, and nothing to success, for the reason perhaps that his restlessness and natural idleness would not allow of Lis remaining long in any one place. Then he fell into evil ways among the ranchmen and cowboys. He drank free ly and when he had money gambled recklessly, so that he was soon re duced to the lowest depths of poverty and despair. One night when he had been drinking more than usual he sold the black horse to a ranchman by the name of Cron wright for $100 in goid and a shaggy little broncho with a heavy brand on the left flank and an execrable ten dency toward bucking. He came to his senses the next day »and marched back to Cronwright with both pony and money, demanding his hors in re turn. The ranchman laughed in his face and as Trenbar broke out into fierce maledictions against the in justice of the thing had drawn a re volver bidding him sternly to begone Trenbar went, but he left Chief's pur chase price behind him. Then and there he resolved that come what would he would have his horse again at any cost, Cronwright, anticipating his purpose, threatened him with lynching—the common fate of the horse thief. True to his word, two weeks later Trenbar entered the corral at dead of night and took Chief out. The horse was a willing captive. He knew his master and loved him as perhaps Tren bar had never been loved by anything, brute or human, since his half-breed mother died, leaving him still a child, to shift for himself. Trenbar remem bered his mother but vaguely. Yet as he lay there beneath the chaparral watching, while the cool purpleshadows drifted over the hot earth filling all its hollows to brimming over, he wished that he had been born with more of her traits and less of those that had char acterized his weak, dissolute father. It was so still and warm. Lower and lower sank the sun until only a slender arc showed above the horizon. Pres ently that, too, disappeared, and it was dark. The horse was feeding near by, Trenbar called him still nearer then because the quiet was so soothing and he so dead tired he rolled over on his faee and went to sleep-. He was awakened by the quick thud of hoofs and opened his eyes just in time to see Chief fly past him on the wings of the wind. At a little distance the horse wheeled an4 paused with his head thrown up, snorting and palpitat ing with excitement. Trenbar sprang to his feet with his revolver in his hand. The moon had risen full and clear, and lay its light he saw not a dozen rods away two men riding cautiously toward him. "Halt!" shouted a voice. "Throw up your hands, Jim Trenbar. I know yer and we've got the drop on yer." "Gentlemen!" cried Trenbar, "I—w "Throw up your hands, I say." The sheriff dismounted from (his spent pony and came forward. The moonlight glanced from the polished barrels of the two revolvers which he held, one in either hand} leveled at Trenbar's breast. "I ain't no horse thief," Trenbar said, earnestly. "Before God, I ain't. That horse is mine. I never had one cent for him. CronWright's got the money and the broncho that he gave me to pay for him. I* took them back the very next day." "See here, Trenbar," said the sheriff, grimly, "I didn't come here to waste words. I come here to do business. My orders are to take you and the horse, dead or alive. Cronwright's got witnesses to the hull transaction, and Cronwright ain't a man to fool with. Throw up your hands!" "Never!" cried Trenbar. His wild, black eyes met those of the sheriff un flinchingly. His slight, straight figure was drawn to its fullest height. But the sheriff had faced too many desper ate men to be afraid of this one. "Throw up yer hands, curse yer," he snarled. "I don't hanker after doing any shooting, but I shall let daylight into yer in less than two seconds, if yer don't surrender peaceably." Trenbar made a feint of throwing up his hands, but the sheriff was too quick for him. Though both men fired al most simultaneously, it was the sher iff's bullet alone that took effect. Tren bar reeled, clutched at his breast and fell heavily forward face downward in the moonlight'. When the smell of the powder had cleared away, Chief, feeling instinctive, ly that something was wrong with his master, advanced timidly to his side and sniffed suspiciously at-his cloth ing. So it was that the sheriff was able to catch him.—Detroit Free Press. Tlie Wood OH Tree."

Btanchiona That Ktfep Them Separat ed and Compel Each Calf to Con fine- Itself to One Bucket. For slopping small c»lves, stanchions may be constructed [in the field similar to those shown in the cut. The sill may be of one piece of six by six, or it may be of two pieces of two by six with the upright pieces fastened between sim ilar to the way shown at the top. If a six by six be used, mortices will have to be made in which to put the lower end of the vertical pieces. Piece No. 1 is securely fastened at both ends. No. 2 is secured at the bottom by means of a peg, and the top is free to swing back,, making an opening through which the calf can put his head to the pail. It can then be brought into position and se cured by means of a peg at the top, or bv mean-s of a drop which shall fit into CALF-FEEDING STANCHION, the shoulder shown at the top. When the calves are small, the opening be tween Nos. 1 and 2 should be four inches as the calves grow and it be comes necessary to enlarge the space at the bottom, bore another hole through the sill at the base of No. 2, so that it can be set back five inches from No. 1 The fastening's at the top may also be arranged scf that the space between up rights may be enlarged to accommo date the growth of the animal. Up right pieces Nos. 3 and 6 should be nailed to the front of the horizontal pieces so that they will not interfere with the free swing of Nos. 2 and 5.— Rural New Yorker. UNSEASONED TUBS. Large Quantities of Really Good But ter Are Spoiled by Their L'se All Over tlie Country. A great many unseasoned butter tubs are being marketed by one or two firms, which ougttit to be in better busi ness, but which somehow in the com petition between them do not exercise ithe care they formerly manifested in all their manufactures. Of course, it will be said of the guilty concerns that it is some one else that is turning out such fresh material, but investigations Show that the concerns in question pught to be in better business if they desire to maintain any sort of reputa tion for honest, decent goods. In writ ing on this phase o£ the question to the New York Produce Review, a Mr. Dodge says among other things: "All the trouble that I have had in the past three years has been from sappy green wood, and the trouble can only be overcome by having the wood thoroughly dry and fit for use. There is nothing manufac tured, that is made out of wood, until the wood is properly seasoned. I see no reason why this should not follow as regards butter tubs." No reason what ever, except the rapacity and narrow greed of some of these manufacturers. It makes a great difference in the price of butter that is not packed in first class and thoroughly seasoned tubs or those raw and fresh. Tubs may look all right on shipment, but after the butter has been in transit to market, the de fects become apparent and the goods are reported as off, affecting top quo tations. Butter-makers should exer cise the greatest care in such matters, and if, possible make such concerns sign a contract to make good any losses sustained through want of properly seasoned tubs. There is no excuse for it any more than there is for any other kind of fraud.—Prairie Farmer. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Plant- out plenty of small fruits. To grow large onions from seeds sow very early. One of the best ways of improving the farm is to set out an orchard. Fine, well-rotted manure used as top dressing will help make the garden grow. One of the best preventives of mil jdew on plants is powdered lime dusted ion them. Commence the cultivation in the gar jden as soon as possible after the plant ling is done. Growth in the garden may be stim ulated by early, thorough and contin ned cultivation. Allow no fruit to grow on strawberry plants the first season. Pick off all buds and blossoms. Of the different kinds of fruit goose berries will give the best yields of any when no care is given. Pull up any weeds that may have ^started in the strawberry bed, but do not disturb the mulch. Do not let the plants in the seed bed grow too thickly or they will grow tall and spindling and be weak. One advantage with spring setting out of strawberry plants is that it is the purest way of securing a good stand. Place, a circle of cardboard two or three inches high around the tomato plants when set out, to protect them against cutworms. Plant grapes where the vines may be exposed to the rays of the sun all day. This is better than shade.—St. Louis Republic. Numbering? Country Home*. Out in California they are urging the adoption of a system of numbering country residences, reckoning from the county seat as a center, and thus render the location of a point iwthe rural sec tions as simple as within city limits. The plan is to name every road in the county, first arranging them in as long lengths as can well be done. Then di vide each mile into ten' parts or blocks ot the tame length, and number them, ft new number to each frontage. HE WAS DISAPPOINTED. The Unsatisfactory Experience of Farmer Who Planted a Sqnaih Crop on Muck Land. A number of years ago I broke up a tract located just back of the horse barn. The soil is jet black, the location low and during the winter overflowed. It is too soft at any season of the year to team over, but during the summer is sufficiently dry for tillage crops. Jim Lane (a hardy, tough Irishman, who has rested from his earthly labors now for many years), and I tapped a cess pool which bordered on the meadow, and carried the night soil on handbar rows to each hill, manuring very liber ally. As the season advanced the vines started off almost on the *un, for with the nitrogen in the night soil added tb the nitrogen of the rich meadow they had a mighty dose of it. The rank vines, with the ends of their runners lifted into the air, and their tips bent just un der, looked for all the world like a tan gle of green serpents straining to free themselves. The crop was a large one, of large Hubbard squashes, of a pe culiar rich, light green color. With the exception of a few which grew along the borders of a ditch which rah through the meadow, that were more or less eaten by muskrats, the crop was safely housed before the first frost. The final result was anything but satisfac tory,for the quality of the squash proved to be quite inferior they were rather punky in their structure and soggy in their make up, both of which character istics helped them on to an early and rapid decay. The two lessons I learned from that experiment were, first, to keep squashes off muck unless it had first been heavily treated to sand or gritty soil, a hundred loads to the acre, to supply the silica which is wanting in all mere ly vegetable deposit second, to use min eral manures, such as unbleached wood ashes and dissolved bone, rather than those strong in nitrogen on a soil that is already rich in that element.—James J. H. Greg'ory, in Prairie Farmer. REFRIGERATOR CRATES. Tliey Have Been Used Successfully for Shipping Strawberries from Flos Ida to Northern Markets. A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker describes what he says is the favorite style of refrigerator crates now in use for shipping- strawberries from Florida to the northern markets: The improvement is in the manner of supplying the ice the latter is in a shallow galvanized tray fitting in the top, and the full size of the crate. One old style that I saw this morning had a narrow, upright receptacle for the ice, which formed a sort of partition through tthe center of the crate. An other had a shallow ice-pan in the cen ter of the top, of a size that allowed a row of berry baskets to be set around REFRIGERATOR CRATE. it. This, perhaps, saved space, but did not carry the fruit in so good condition. The idea in the newest pattern seems to be that the ice is distributed over the entire upper surface of the crate, thus cooling the whole evenly, and as cold air settles, it goes all down through the crate uniformly. The berries in these crates seem to arrive in fine condition. The construction is pretty well shown in the illustration. This crate meas ured, outside measure, about two feet two inches by two feet six inches by two feet seven inches. It held four layers of quart baskets, 16 in each lay er—64 in all. As shown, a drain pipe extends from the bottom of the crate up nearly to the bottom of the pan, and a spout from the latter drains off the water from the melting ice. The ice-pan can be lifted out to get at the betries. There is a ventilator through the middle of the crate, as shown. The whole is solidly built. The cover is fastened on with bolts se.t stationary in the crate, projecting through the corners of the cover, and fastened with nuts. The latter cause a good deal of trouble to receivers, as they are sunken in the cover, and it is difficult to get at them with an ordinary wrench. Most of them hold five tiers—80 quarts. The artist drew a 64-quart one. Peai for the Orchard. There is no grain that can be profit ably grown in the orchard except the pea. A summer growth of buckwheat may not do any injury, but it does not enrich the soil even when plowed under, as does the pea crop. Besides, the pea vines lie close on the ground, and their large leaves shade it just as it needs be shaded during the hot, dry weather of July and August. Large as its leaves are, the pea vine takes very little moisture from the soil. Usually its leaves are wet with dew in the night, which runs off and fertilizes the soil below, and also keeps it moist. If the peas are sown late and not cut, but allowed to lie on the ground and be fed off by hogs, there is a very ma terial gain in soil fertility over leav ing the land uncropped through the season. Poultry and Plum Trees. It is a good plan to scatter trash, with a little oats and corn in it, among the plum trees, where the chickens can scratch at it early in the morning. A flock of chickens can destroy more de structive insects than all the concoc tions ever made. This scattering should commence two or three weeks before the trees are in bloom, and continue until the plums are as large as peas. Plum trees should always be planted in groups. For one thing, they fertilize each other, and the industry mentioned above can be followed with ease. It is well known that nature plants her plums in thickets.—E. B. Heaton, in Farmers' Ileview. Material Near at Hand. The abundance of large stones and bowlders in many localities can be taken advantage of to reduce the ex pense of building stone roads when properly broken they can often be used for foundation purposes. They are not so likely to be suitable for the wearing surface of the road.—Good Roada. Bad Pay and Hard Work.
