An Italian astronomer Kays “the

Cuban patriots have been strug

almost equal to a campaign for a

The average man is said to eat
more than 1.000 times his own

A new base bail rule in the nation
al league prohibits swearing on tiie

An early ch ink of Soring arrive 1

If the St. La wren e .Journal. Mil!?:*

have a scrap over the insurance

to hare the city council pass an ordi
nance to prohibit tobacco “elm wer*’’
from slotting on the side walks. It
will still l>e jierinissable to spit
through a knot hole.
Little t. \Y< e's claim that he “run*
a republican newspaper” in merely
circumstantial evidence of course,
but it has caused a stalwart sus
picion to roam about this range
that Tommy aspires to be a humor
ist.
The elegant winter just passed,
seems to have caused more colds,
pneumonia, and sickness of that
kind than any previous winter. Per
haps people arc more careless about
going in and out when the weather
is good.
llro. Sweetland is bombarding
King Andy within the capital breast
works. He says ho must have those
insurance statements. It reallv
looks like a scrap with Pro. Healey.
It would be less unseemly if the gen
tlemen were to draw cuts!—or give
t. Wee a little nibble.

Jherre Special:- -The state littnkex
aminer, Muris Tuylor, iu his report
which wiil be issued in a few days,
discloses a very satisfactory state of
affairs in South Dakota finances.
Mr. T nylor wavs: State and private
hanks in South Dakota at this lime
are iu good condition. Deposit* are
considerably larger than during any
recent year, and securities are. n ■ to
value and convertibility, better un
derstood. The most uasrit: f:i<; >vv
feature from the standpoints of the
bank, appears to be the lessened de
maud for money and the consequent
decrease of loans. Conditions have
been such for the past s »yeral years
that banks have Mi compelled to
greatly restrict their loans. Hence
other adjustnunits have been forced,
and with many pc >r e the borrowing
habit has been broken.

The sympathetic tenderness of a lov
ing husband is everything to an expec
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal. George Layton, Esq., a promi
nent druggist of Dayton, 0., gives the
following case:
A customer of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of * Mother’s Friend ” before con
finement, savs, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, thut if she had to uo through theordent
again, aud there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was SIOO per bottle, she
would have them.
“ Mother’s Friend” is a scientifically
compounded liniment which affords cer
tain relief in the various ailments pre
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles in
volved in the final ordeal.
“Mother’s Friend” is sold by drug
gists, or expressed on receipt of one
Valuable book* u Before Baby is
