While it is possible for a man to love his neighbor as himself, it de pends a good deal upon the age and sex of the neighbor aforesaid... Many a man, after spending th best years of his life in climbing the ladder, sudenly, lets go and reaches the bottom again in a few seconds. Local Pride; ,5 A Kansas City maflr whd was In Omaha not long ago was In a railroad ticket office there while two women from the Eastwere buying transpor tation to Denvey. f -f t "We have four hours 4 to spend here," said one woman to the ticket, eller. "Are J there any 'Seeing Omaha' cars here?" "No, ma'am," 'was the reply. . "Well, I guess we'll have to see the town on foot then," said the woman. A man on the train said we could walk to any of. the limits of the- city from Paxton hotel in ten minutes." The clerk became somewhat roused. Til bet," he said, showing Spm heat, "that that man was from Kansas City. Why," he added a moment later, "an expert walker couldn't reach the city limits from the Paxton in a -hit less than twenty minutes." Kansas City Times. 1 Animals That Reason. ' A .correspondent contributes to Har per'is Weekly some entertaining anec dotes apropos of the recent discussion In the Weekly of the question "Do EAnlmals "Think?" The correspondent believes that animals not j only think, but reason, and he tells in support of his belief some stories which, if au thentic, seem to offer convincing proof, of his assertion. He tells of a horse' that learned to unlatch a barn door; of a sheep that notified a farmer ol the fact that its companion had fall en into a ditch;- of a rat that conceal ed its gnawing of a hole by covering itself from view with a shingle.. "You may disbelieve all this," says the cor respondent, "but 'the boy has not lied.'" . ! A part of the world where a great demand for labor saving farm ma chinery is expected soon to develop is Argentina, where, out of about 120, 000,000 acres of land available for cul tivation, less than 25,000,000 acres are now utilized for agricultural purposes. Owing to natural conditions, it is ' be lieved that , Argentina can never be come a great manufacturing country, hut its agricultural possibilities are very large. Yet of its 5,000,000 in habitants, only 2,000,000 live in the rural districts, and their numbers are Insufficient to develop the resources of the land. Lately, however, the far mers have learned that they must -make one man do the work of many men, and for this purpose they are beginning to -import agricultural roa chlnery. Oddities of the Human Body. The two sides of a person's face are never alike. The eyes are out -of line in two cases out of five, and one eye is stronger than the other, la seven persons out of ten. The rlgh ye is also, as a rule, higher than the left. Only one person In fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest percentage of defects prevailing among falr-halr-.ed people. The smallest interval of sound can be distinguished bettei iwlth one ear than with both. The mails of two fingers never grow with the same rapidity, that of the middle r finger growing the fastest, .while that lot the thumb grows slowest. In fifty ifour cases out of, 100 the left leg is r. shorter than the right Indianapolis ' How a venturesome land-owner -converts a seeming bad bargain into a veritable gold mine is amusingly told by Arthur Hendrick VanJenberg in "a story entitled j "A, Boom in Reality " J which : appears in Lippin cott's Magazine for August. - It is the sort of tale men like .. .

The Appalachian Inter-urban Rail road Company, of Hendersonville, has a great project, which, if successfully managed and developed, will connect many of the more important points in H estern North Carolina by trolley lines. Henderson county will vote next Tuesday on a bond issue of $50,- 000, and it is expected to carry by a large majority, as the road would pass through the very best part of the country. Later in the month Polk county will vote on bonds for the same purpose. An effort for $100,000 from Polk township, is being made. Avery's Creek township, in Buncom be, will vote on $5,000. This scheme, which is of tremendous is being pushed by well-known busi ness men of the mountain region through which the road wonl (1 rtfl.es The officers of the company are: W. a. omitn, president; F.

The fever report Is a great improve ment over those during the middle of the week, and the fact that there is only 2 new sub-foci, one up-town and one down-town, is a source of special encouragement. An effort is being made to determine the numhejr of cases under treatment, and allowing ten days, which is a liberal estimate, for a patient to either recover or die. -It is figured that there are now 233 cases "under treatment. f The city has contributed, $250,000 to assist the government in handling the disease. : 1 , The decision to ask the Federal gov ernment to take control was' reached at a meeting of city and State officials and others, held late Friday at the cotton exchange. DOUBLE MOTIVE! FOR ACnON. It was the consensus of the meeting that government control would restore confidence throughout the other States in the South, and the belief was expressed that Surgeon General Wy man would be able to send a force of physicians to New Orleans thoroughly equipped for the handling of the yel low fever situation because of their experience and unquestionable facil ities to enforce a scientific campaign against the fever. When local health ofllcers first took charge of the situation it was hoped that the fever could be stamped out within a reasonable time, but the In fection has spread, and so frightened have the people become in the South over the increase in the. number of cases that iew Orleans Is threatened with a serious paralysis of trade by reason of radical "quarantines. A telegram signed by the mayor and others ' present was addressed to Gov ernor Blanchard, telling him of the ac tion taken. Baron Rosen Introduced. New York, Special. Acting for the President, Third Assistant Secretary of State Pierc communnicated c to Baron Rosen,, the Russian ambassa dor, and Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, the official program for the formal presentation to the President of the Russian and Japanese plenipo tentiaries to the Washington confer ence. This program has for weeks been a subject of much study on the part of the President and Mr. Pierce. Many of the details regarding the journey to Oyster Bay and thence to Ports mouth already have been published. Desirous of being strictly neutral In all the arrangements for the presenta tion, it was decided at the outset by the Washington government that the President would recognize no prece dence based on success in the present war. Because Baron Komura wa3 pre sented at Sagamore Hill almost ; a week before Mr. Witte arrived in this country, it was decided that for this reason Baron Komura must take prece dence over Mr. Witte. This, however, will be recognized only in the half hour's difference in the time of the presentation of the two missions. Tidewater Wins. Norfolk, Va., Special. -The Tide water ailway has won out before the State corporation in the great fight that the Norfolk & Western Railway was making against its petition for grade crossings in Norfolk county. The Norfolk & Western sought to compel the Tidewater to erect via ducts over its tracks at two points on the approach to Norfolk, and the Tidewater sought grade crossings over the Norfolk & Western, which the com mission has just allowed. The Nor folk & Western has the right to appeal to the Supreme Court of the State.' Not Yet Located. v Paterson, N. J., Special. Despite the efforts of his former friends and busi ness assocclates, the whereabouts of the missing mayor, William H. Bel cher, of this city; have not been discov ered. Friday an investigation was ha gun to discover what disposition had been made of the estate of James - F. Stewart, late congressman, of which Mayor Belcher was sole executor. It was valued at $10,000. No Trains in or Ont of Shreveport. Shreveport, La., Special. Shreveport is effectually bottled . up. Word was received at the local offices of the Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific Rail road, the only road remaining open, that the two remaining trains on that line had been cancelled from tonight This leaves this city without eitehr .passenger or freight communication with the outside world.

Water sufficient to develop nearly 1 II V C UUUUICU luuuaauu f ll 4OT.m..-ril1l. hnilPfi -. nO! day, for Industrial purposes, is now be ing taken from the river above the Falls, and further developments re quiring more water are contemplated. Probably the largest user of the elec tricity produced by the waters of the. mighty river is the concern which by the five or six thousand degree heat of the electric furnace brings lime -and coke into unwilling union, thereby pro ducing what is known as Calcium Caf bide. Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as so much broken rock, but in contact with' water it sprlugs into activity and be-, gets abundantly the gas Acetylene, The light resulting from the Ignition of acetylene Is the nearest approach t sunlight known. . These facts, though of comparatively recent discovery, were soon seized by men with an eye to the commercial possibilities and to-day calcium carbide is being shipped everywhere and used for dispelling darkness in buildings of all descriptions, from the ordinary barn of the farmer to the country villa of the wealthy, as well as for lighting the streets of a large number of towns. Acetylene can be easily and cheaply installed, and the manufacture and sale of acetylene generators has become a business of recognized standing, has assumed large proportions and Is stead ily growing.

' , A UOMATTS OnDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to MraPinkham, Lynn, Maaa, and Becoive Valuable Advlcs Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease ; and this is the rea son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. -, This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre sponding with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their' illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women more wisely than the local physician. Bead how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. C. "Willadsen, of Manning, la. She writes : ' Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I had female trouble and would daily have faint ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to yea for your ad vice and received a letter full of instructions Iust what to do, and also commenced to take jydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you I would baa been in my grave to-day." Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for restoring women's health. 7 0"N Isllil RIFLE AND PISTOL CARTRIDGES Winchester Rifle and Pistol Cartridges of all calibers are loaded by machinery which sizes the shells, supplies 'the exact quantity of powder, and seats the bullets properly.
