tween two wires, put the entire po
lice alarm system of the suburb of
Ballard out of last week.
The police alarm '.vires from Ballard
to headquarters at the city hall were
tested, box by box, until the trouble
was located. It was discovered that
difficulty lay between the box at Fre
mont and the one next south. The
electricians could find nothing more
serious than a swallow's nest, a few
blocks from the Fremont box. Climb
ing a pole next to the nest, he found
several young birds and when he be
gan feeling around "he nest the par
ents attacked him.

touched both wires and short-cir

ear, and he fell as though struck
with a bullet.
Dr. W. A. Mitchell, of Colfax, who
was in the crowd, took charge of the
wounded man and he was later taken
to his home in Colfax. It is hard to

but it is feared that his skull is frac
tured. He is still conscious and at
last reports was resting as easily as
could be expected.

rum and kept the senate in session all

on the part of the Grand Army leaders,
while many others questioned the taste
of the proceeding. That his intention
was to point out the subsequent
strength of Grant In conquering his
weakness is said by Taft In his own
defense. His friends charge that the
outcry is worked up to Injure his can
didacy.

Talks.

ADJUSTMENT.
A ureat misfortune comes to you.
Like most misfortunes, it was unex
pected.
The unexpected happens in every life
Because it is unforeseen the jolt is a
heavy one. Surprise is mingled with
the suffering. Such things, of course,
have happened to others. But to you—
that's different. It Is monstrous that
it should lie so. And you simply can
not endure this affliction.
And yet In the very hour of your mis
fortune your soul rises unconsciously
to meet the emergency.
Every hour and every day you con
tinue to fashion yourself to fit the new
conditions. Little by little you adapt
yourself to the changed situation. The
burden is still on your back, but you
have adjusted the harness. It galls
you only occasionally, not continually,
as at first.
Merciful faculty!
A great sorrow, a heartbreaking be
reavement. comes into your life.
The violence of the blow staggers
you. Passing bells are ringing all the
world over, always, for some sad
mourner, but not for you—till now.
You feel you cannot be happy again.
It Is too much to be borne. Life must
henceforth be hateful. The iron has
entered your soul.
And yet-
Even while you cry out in your pain
the forces of your being are marshal
ing for resistance and defense.
There comes a readjustment that per
mits you to go on, though It may be
sorrowfully. As you grow accustomed
to the load It gets lighter. You realize
keenly that you will never be quite the
same as before the shock. You have
been chastened into something a little
different. But—
It Is you!
Through it all you have preserved
the identity of your soul. You have
been passing under the road and
through the processes of readjustment.
And by and by, it may be, you have
begun to see that even pain and sorrow
have their compensations. And grad
ually life again becomes worth the liv
ing.
As the eye, passing from the sunlight
to sudden darkness, slowly adapts
itself, so does the soul of man adjust
Itself to new and changsd conditions.
Is it not wonderful?
And true?
Rusty Keys.
Rusty keys should bo laid to soak
for some time in a vessel Containing
paraffin oil. After soaking for a clay or
two the oil will have acted upon the
rust and loosened it to such an extent
that it will he quite easy to remove
with a little rubbing.
Belgium.
Belgium Is the most confused little
nationality on earth. In the great
cities the population is made up of in
extricable mixtures of Flemish races
and the Walloons, pure French and
Germans. Add to this broad splashes
of the Spanish blood that cuine In with
the princes of the last century, and
you have a curious conglomerate man
—the brave little Belgian.
Hairbrushes.
Always In the selection of a hair
brush remember that the quality of the
bristles Is a superior consideration to
the mountings.
Badlv Sprained Ankle Cured.
Three years ago our daughter
sprained her ankle and had been suf
fering terribly for two days and
nights—had not slept a minute. Mr.
Stallings, of Butler, Tenn., told us
of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We
went to the store that night and got
a bottle of It and bathed her ankle
two or three times and she went to
sleep and had a good night's rest,
'l'he next morning she was much bet
ter and In a short time eould walk
around and had no more trouble
with her ankle.—E. M. Brumitt,
