The story of a country mer. chant who met a farmer with a windmill pimp 1 in his wagonr which he had purchased from a Chicago catalog house is going the rounds of. the press. The merchant chided the farmer for sending his money out of the community, and the following conversation took place: "I would have sold you a pump ju9t AS cheap right here at home, saved you the freight and you could have seen what you were buying." "Then why didn't you tell me so," replied the farmer "I've been reading our home paper for years and have never seen a line about your handling windmill pumps and I'm no for tune teller, how am I to know what you've got and what price you can make on it? You have not even got a pump on display. The Chicago concern sent its ad vertisement to my house, tellipg me it had just what I wanted and that it could sell me a pump much lower than any local mer chant could. It took the trouble to ask for my trade and got it. If you had taken the trouble to let me know that you could have sold me not only this pump but probably a lot of other stuff I've sent away for during the past seven years, I would have bought of you."Ex. tte cuo Border Budget. while hunting deer was chasegd by a Certainly G.

No animal will eat bear or taste his blood, and when the lion smelled it he turned away. But in doing so he scratched some of the blood off the In dian's face with his claw by accident. When he found himself unhurt, the Indian was so thankful that he let the blood dry on his face. With the marks of the lion's claws this gave the effect of stripes, and ever afterward when going on hunting expeditions for man or beast the Indian painted his face In stripes as a charm against danger.

Radical Members of Russian iDumaj Hopelessly at Odds., St. 'Petersburg, March ^12.The. lower&ihouse of parliament reassem-i bled during the morning in sections! for the examination of the credentials of mentoerau. Protests were submitted against the election of the Entire depu tations from Bessarabia, Poltava, Minsk, Mohileff, Novgorod, Voronezh, Kazan. Kherson and the city of Kish inev. The radical parties are hopelessly at odds regarding the manner of raising the question of amnesty. Th Social ists persist In forcing it Immediately to the front in the form of an open declaration to the people, which prac tically would be an appeal for revolu-i tion. A caucus of the Social Revolu tionists and members of the Peasant1 league rejected this, as well as a proposition to make an appeal or de mand to the emperor on the subject, and it was decided to introduce a reg ular bill providing amnesty for polit ical prisoners. This undoubtedly is unconstitutional and hence unaccept able to the Constitutional Democrats, who are anxious to obseivf the forms of legality. The cabinet, in any event, will not regard the introduction of any amnesty resolution as warranting the dissolution of parliament. The re actionist campaign for the proroga tion of parliament under any pretense Is in full swing. The Novoe Vremya, which is in close touch with the so called camarilla at Tsarskoe-Selo-the organization which is opposed to both Premier Stolypin and parliamentsig nificantly declares that the house is a mere organizing center for the revo lutionary movement and should be dispersed at the earliest possible mo ment. HARRIS' HOME FIRED INTO. Kentucky Judge's Residence Target for Unknown Marksmen. Jackson, Ky., March 12.Citizens of this city were startled out of their sleep at night by shooting such as has seldom been heard here. Two shots were fired into the home of Judge James Hargis, accused of complicity in connection with the assassination of James B. Marcum. Others were fired into the store of Hargis brothers, in which June Jett, brother of Curtis Jett, was sleeping, but he was unharmed. The home of Deputy Town Marshal Smith also was hit. The firing was continued for forty minutes. Efforts ot the police were vain un til they arrested Curtis Smith and placed him in jail on the charge that he was concerned in the shooting.

All medical authorities are agreed that the blood is the great source cf disease or of health in the human system. If the blood is pure, the individual is strong and healthy, if the blood is impurj or diseased then there is sickness or decay in the whole system. Rheumatism is strictly a blood disease. I is caused by exces sive uric acid. Sores, pimples, etc., mean bad blood. Catarrhal af fections must be treated through the blood to get permanent re sults. To get well, to feel strong, hearty and vigorous one must have good clean blood and lots of it. You can't clean the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active. Bad blood means clogged, inactive kidneys and liver which causes, too, such symptoms as backache, nervous ness, bladder and urinary diffi culties and other sympathetic troubles. Here is a simple home remedy and the prescription for making it up is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion one half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilia three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in tea spoonful doses after, each meal and at b dtime. The inerredients can be obtained at any good pre scription pharmacy at small cost. Here the readers of this paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blooJ, kidney and bladder di seases which should relieve rheu matism and catarrhal affections and replace the weak, worn out indifferent feeling with s'rength, vigor and heal h. This prescription is consid ered a fine system renovacer and being made of vegetable extracts only is harmless and anyone can mix it at home, Try this anyway before investing in the secret un linown concoctions of the patent medicine manufacturers. The Man With the Wooden Hat. A young Scotsman was shown into the office of a great engineer at Bir mingham He was wearing a hat of extraordinary shape, and at his nerv ousness at meeting the man of fame he let the hat slip. It fell with a hollow thud upon the floor. The engineer look ed with astonishment at the thing. The owner picked it up and apologized for the noise it had caused. It was of wood, he explained. He had made it himself, turning it with his father's lathe. The engineer thought that there must be something In a man who could think out and make such a thing as this. He forthwith engaged him, kept an eye upon him and gave him work of responsibility. The engineer was Boulton the new man, William Mur dock. The man with the wooden hat was sent away to Cornwall, and when he returned it was to light up his mas ter's premises with gas. The mind which first practically applied the coal gas to the purpose of lighting lived In side that wooden hat.St. James' Ga zette. Good Manners. A friend of yours and mine has very justly defined good breeding to be "the result of much good sense, some good nature and a little self denial* for the sake of others, and with a view to ob tain the same indulgence from them." Taking this for grantedas I think it cannot be disputedit is astonishing to me that anybody who has good sense and good nature can essentially fail In good breeding. As to the modes of it, indeed, they vary according to per sons, places and circumstances and are only to be acquired by observation and experience, but the substance of It is everywhere and eternally the same. Good manners are to particular socie ties what good, morals are to society in generaltheir cement and security. And as laws are enacted to enforce good morals or at least to prevent the 111 effects of bad ones, so there are cer tain rules of civility, universally im plied and received, to enforce good manners and punish bad ones.Ches terfield. Made For Fat Men. One of the narrow arches in the gal lery of the chapel at Columbia univer sity is not exactly symmetrical, al though the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer. The reason for the widening of the arch after its orig inal construction had rise in a some what humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged Into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with some difficulty. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people be ing numbered among the future vis itors, decided to widen the arch, sac rificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so con structed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides.New Tork Globe.

The cows carry their horns much longer than the bulls. They have been seen with their horns In the month of April. The old bulls shed their horns from the 10th to the last of November. They hardly ever carry them after the month of Novem ber. The young bulls shed theirs from the first of December until the middle of February. The younger the animal the longer he retains his horns. Mountain of the Saored Footprint. Adam's peak, or Mount Samanala, a rugged mountain in the island of Cey lon, Is known throughout the orient as the "Mountain of the Sacred Foot print." In a flat, rocky basin at the foot of this mountain In stono as hard as blue granite there Is the perfect im print of a gigantic human foot, five and one-half feet long by two and one-half feet wide. The Ceylonese Brahmans have a legend to the effect that the Im print was made by Adam, our first par ent, but the Buddhists declare that it could have been made by no one but Buddha. Water Needles. So penetrating is water at high pres sure that only special qualities of cast Iron will be tight against it.

It is little short of astonishing to see how little water is required to float the southern river steamers, a boat loaded with perhaps a thousand bales of cotton slipping along contentedly where a boy could wade across the stream. Once, however, the Chatta hoochee got too low for even her light draft commerce, and at Gunboat shoals a steamer grounded. As the drinking wator on board needed re plenishing, a deck hand was sent ashore with a couple of water buckets. Just at this moment a northern traveler ap proached the captain of the boat, and asked him how long he thought they would have to stay there. "Oh, only until that man gets back with a bucket of water to pour into the river," the captain replied. Pres ently the deck hand returned, and the stale water from the cooler was emptied overboard. Instantly, to the amazement of the traveler, the boat began to move. "Well, if that doesn't beat thunder!" he gasped. The fact was that the boat, touching the bottom, had acted as a dam, and there was soon backed up behind her enough water to lift her over the shoal and send her on down the stream.
