Do you know that rheumatism pains
can be relieved? If you doubt this just
try one application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. It may not give you relief from
pain but will make rest and sleep possible
and that certainly means a great deal to
to any one afflicted with rheumatism. For

SETTLERS' LOW RATES.
At a meeting of representatives ol the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific, the
Sno, the Canadian Pacific and the Canad
ian Northern passenger departments in
St. Paul the other day. the same one rate
yettlers' rate was adopted for this year.
There will be a few changes, but the
rates in general will be the same.
The rates agreed upon apply to points
eastot Montana and the Cannadian North
west. They will be in effect every Tues
day during March and April. The lines
got together earlier that ustrtil this year
because they have to give thirty days
notice before the rates can become effec
tive.
There was an immense movement on
these rates last year, and there is even
indication that the business will be larger
this year than last. i„'i view of the fact
that they are one-way rates most of those
who take advantage of the rates are bona
fied settlers, although according to the

HE GOT OFF EASY.
Negro Thought His Lawyer's Speech
Would Hang Him.
Clark Howell of Atlanta tells of the
sad case of an elderly darky in Geor
gia. charged with the theft of some
chickens. The negro had the mis
fortune to be defended by a young
and inexperienced attorney, although
it is doubtful whether any one could
have secured his acquittal, the com
mission of the crime having bgen
proved beyond all doubt.
The darky received a pretty severe
sentence. "Thank you, sah," said he,
cheerfully, a .dressing the judge
when -the sentence had been an
nounced. "Dat's mighty hard, sah, but
it ain't, anywhere near what I 'spect
ed. I thought, sah, dat between my
character and dat speech of mah law
yer dat you'd hang me shore!"

POLICE SLA'ES OF A BABY.
Turns the Station Upside Down for a
Period of Two Weeks.
The officials of (ho Children's socie
ty breathed a sigh of relief when they
tot rid of a two-year-old baby boy who
was on their hands the last two weelcs,
says the New York Sun. There have
V.~"n hundreds of two-year-olds in the
society rooms siuc-e the organization
was founded, but none ever coir,pared
with the little unknown who made
things so lively that there wasn't, an
hour's peace while he staved in the
place.
On the night of Oct. 4 little San
son, as he was quickly called, was
Tound in Corlears Hoc.k Park, where
he had been abandoned. Ii.« was
turned ovev to a cop, who took him to
the Delancey street station. Thence
ne was shipped to the Children's socie
ty. He was a pretty little youngster,
With light hair, big blue eyes and fair
complexion, and he was fairly well'
dressed.

Although unable to talk, lie made it
mown that lie wanted a drink of water
and a couple of r- j-s on reserve made
a rush to wait on him. When the tot,
ilranl his fill I.e. lot tlie dipper fly and
:aught Policeman Sullivan over the
eye. He laughed in glee when he saw
the cop rubbing the sore spot and
straight away bawled for all he was
worth until the dipper was handed
back to him. A second time he let it
rip and it. crashed through a window
of the back room.
Seeing that he had donp some dc
struct ion, he appeared to tie happy for
while, but once his eves rested on
:he checkers and dominoes on the
1 lable he slid off tho bench and toddled
uver. The big cops didn't, like the in
terrupllon .of file game, but there was
nothing to do but quit then and there.
Samson gathered all the checkers and
dominoes together and then let loose
a fusillade. Laughing and chuckling,
he threw every one at the cops, who
dodged and lied from the room.
Left alone, Samson toddled across
the room and kicked over every cuspi
dor, overturned benches and chairs
and with a mighty effort tipped the
heavy table. The sergeant, hearing
Ihe rocket., rushed in and just nailed
Samson in the act of hurling a brush
through a pane of glass. The cops
were accused of cowardice for not
standing their ground and the door
man was threatened with charges.
Two bluccoats were detailed to watch
the youngster, while the others were
set to wsrlt straightening out the dis
ordered room.
A certain newspaper devil was explain
ing to a young lady last week the diflerence

the fair form in his arms so it would not
pi, and went to press.
