O.ten a sluggish, inactive condition -of the .system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste,, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and formic and other acids, waich are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another .cause: for the poisoning of the blood,; we also breathe the germs and rfliaobes.of IMalaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a -carrier of -disease instead of health.

Eastment -3 Joe Wbltman, cowfooj', rode up to the Circle ranch house one day to see old Colonel Meeehani about some last cattle, aod ten minutes later he had lost his heart to Miss Rose, the colo nel's daughter, who was then a girl of nineteen and her father's housekeeper. Circle ranch had been a great ranch in its 3ay., hut the colonel had met with aT3 sorts of had luck and couldn't pay his &eMs. He liad a few cattle raxtd one cowboy left, while a colored woman assisted Rose about the house work. Rose Meeeham had not been educat ed in the east. She liad been born in the ranch house and sent to a school not a hundred miles away, and her en vironments had been of the plainest. As the adoring father said of hor more than once .after his wife died: "Rosie as good looking and honest iheartecl and will make some man a good wife. There's nothing of the co quette or liirt about lier. She doesn't know 'what a flirtation means.' She's just a plain girl, with her heart set on doing all she can for her old daddy." That was the colonel's way of put ting at, and it simply shows how little the .-average father knows of the aver age daughter. Miss Rose was good looking and honest hearted, but she woTtld flirt with a cross eyed cowboy. Any other girl in her situation would have done the same thing. There wasn't another girl for fifteen miles around, while there were about fifty cowboys within that distance, and, be sides there was the fort only five miles away and soldiers passing on the road every day. Joe Whitman may have been above the average cowboy in looks and ed ucation. Miss Rose had decided with in five minutes that she liked him. Within another five she was smiling so sweetly and talking so nicely that she had Joe stammering out his words. That was the beginning of things. He had driven home a bunch of the colonel's cattle that he had cut out of his herd, and though he wanted to linger at the ranch and talk about the price of beef on the hoof, the drop in hides and the dry summer, he wasn't equal to the occasion and was almost bucked off his pony in taking his leave. Joe rallied when he got back to his cattle and began to lay plans, and from that day on it was a cold day when he did not bring in some of the colonel's stray stock. It was a puzzle to the old gentleman why his cattle should wander six or seven miles after pasture when they had better at home, but it was no mys tery to Miss Rose. Every time a bunch of the missing cattle came back Joe had to stop to explain and to call for a drink of water and to hang around for a good half hour and that girl, who didn't know what a flirtation meant, laughed to herself after he had de parted. Jim Taylor, the lone cowboy in the colonel's employ, was past forty, had a wife somewhere in the east and was out of the running, but be was no wooden head. When those lost cattle were driven up he would go to the colonel and declare that somebody was driving them off that he might have the privilege of driving them back again, and that if Miss Rose were his daughter he would put his foot down. Then the colonel would look up in an innocent way and exclaim: "Lord love us, but you don't think Rosa drives off our cattle and then drives them back again!" "No, I don't, colonel, but don't it strike you that Joe Whitman is com ing here mighty often?" "Is he? Well, he has to bring back the strays, you know, and it is very kind of him indeed. I don't always see him, but I hope that Rosa returns my thanks in a proper way." Joe was working the cattle business for all it was worth and calling at the Circle ranch between times with or anges and boxes of candy sent to him from Denver, when a rival suddenly entered the field. Sergeant Smith, from the fort, came along one day with a squad of men and stopped at the house to make some in quiries. The sergeant was a good look ing man. He had a taking way with him. A flirtation was started almost at once, and when he took up his line of march again he promised himself the pleasure of another call. Three days later he rode out to the ranch and began to make love in ear nest. He had served Uncle Sam for twelve years, saved up $200 and was looking for a wife. While he continued to be a soldier she could have a place as one of the laundresses in Com pany G. Before the sergeant got away Joe Whitman came riding up. The two men instinctively recognized each oth er as rivals and glared and muttered, but there was no bloodshed. When the son of Mars had gone, there was a quarrel between the two left. ' Joe's jealousy made it, although when asked what rights he had he could not define them. He hinted that he would bring back no more lost cat tle and was told not to put himself out in future, and he called Miss Rose a heartless flirt and rode away with his broncho's heels in the air. It is just as easy for a man to make a fool of himself on the plains of th west as at Newport or Saratoga. Wher Joe had cooled ' do wa he admitted tiiaj ht was in tne wrong, but it required more 'moral courage than he possessed to ride'oA'er and make a confession. In this emergency he haunted the spring until he found out from Martha, the colored woman, that on a certain day and date Miss Rose and the sergeant were to take a two mile walk to a cer tain limestone cave on the banks of the -river. Every man has a friend somewhere if he will only hunt him up. After thinking things over Joe decided to go to olfl man Barnes, who kept a saloon, eating house and a sort Jf menagerie In town, and when his case had been etated the old man replied: "Easiest thing in the world, my boy. You want to run that sergeant off the ranch and make a hero of yourself at the same time." "But he don't look like a feller who ?ouldbe run," was protested. "Make no mistake, my boy. You can run his coat tails out straight if only you g .about It right." "But iiow can I make a hero of my self?" "That's a part of the game. Now listen to me." Three days later the sergeant rode up to the ranch with his chest puffed out and a complacent look on his face. lie felt that he was a winner. He was going t honor the ranchman's daugh ter by taking Jier into Uncle Sam's service. His welcome wasn't quite as genial as it might have been, as Miss Rose was beginning to feel conscience strick en about Joe Whitman. She had found on mature consideration that she liked Joe very much, and when a girl will admit that and be soirry that she flirted with another man at the same time she is very near the point of loving. The horse was left at the stables, and the pair started for the cave on foot On the way the sergeant got ready to propose, but a rattlesnake created a diversion. He made ready a second time, but a stray -steer had to he clubbed away, and so the river was reached without a recruit being added to the army. The cave contained three rooms and was accounted a wonder. A torch that had been prepared was lighted, and the couple entered the dark mouth, but had hardby reached the center of the first room when they were saluted by such a growling and clawing and roar ing as held tliem spellbound for a mo ment. Then as a monster bear came rushing at them from one of the inner rooms the doughty sergeant broke for daylight and tied at his best pace. The calls of the girl were unheeded. He hadn't served twelve years in the army to become bear's meat. He wanted a wife, and Company G wanted a second laundress, but he would try to find the woman in town. He covered the mile to the IiDuse without a break and then mounted his gallant steed and set off for the fort.. He even forgot to leave best wishes behind. Meanwhile Miss Rose had stumbled and fallen and fainted away. It was as good a chance as a bear ever had, but this particular animal failed to take advantage of the occasion. In the first place, he was muzzled, and, in the next, Joe Whitman was hanging on to the end of a long rope fastened to his collar. When he had fulfilled his mission he was tied up, and Joe went out and shouldered the still unconscious girl and had borne her nearly home when she revived. As she opened her eyes and won dered how she had tasted to the bear Joe pointed out the sergeant riding away. He also displayed his bloody hunting-knife. "Oh. Joe, but the bear the bear!" gasped the girl on his arm. "I came along just in time to kill it. Thank heaven, you are not hurt. Here you are at home. I am glad I was of service to you, but I can't come in. After what was said the other day" "You will come in, of course. There may be another bear around." There wasn't, but during the next hour Joe had a talk with the colonel and bDth of them shook hands at the end of it and said they were glad That night when Joe led the bear back to the town and his cake the owner grufliy queried: "Well, did it work?" "Beautifully." "Then hand over the ten. When you want a second wife come to me and we will put up some other job to get her." Does the Horse Love His Master? The horse does not love man nor does he delight to labor in his interest. If you think yours does, take him out several miles from home, turn him loose in the road and see whether he will follow you, but do not try this unless fond of pedestrian exercise. True, you may train him by the use of certain appliances to follow you through field, flood and fire, but he will do this not because he adores you, but because you have successfully deceived him into thinking that he cannot help himself, and that one idea dominates him. Do you imagine that it is personal regard for Cinders & Co. which impels those splendid draft horses to toil and strain at that five ton load, or that it is adora tion which lands Mr. Spenders' road ster in front in a brush on the speed way? Not in the least. They believe they cannot do otherwise, and attempts at rebellion have always proved fruit less. As well expect old Madge to har ness herself to the runabout and to come to the door to take you for a drive because she thought you were looking pale. F. M. Ware in Outing Magazine.

They're coming, Father Gutenberg, One hundred thousand more; Enough are published every year To nil a good sized store. Since you invented printing The books we have been minting In tons and tons galore. In dark and somber binding, In bright and lively dress, Too rapidly for counting, They're dropping from the press, On every topic treating From sawing wood to eating. From medicine to chess. They greet you in the window. They meet you in the aisle. And back behind the counter Is stored another pile. The agent large and weighty Has bargains at two-eighty That are, he says, worth while. For birthdays and for Easter, For New Year's and for Yule, For graduating maidens Who just step out of school, For summer and for winter, And soon, I fear, the printer Will think of April fool. Fun at Christmas. Theoretically it is supposed that the children are about the only ones to ex tract much enjoyment out of Christ mas. That is undoubtedly true in most cases, but there is one exception to the general rule. There may be joy for the little ones in getting sleds and skates and candy stores, but it is cheap and vanishing pleasure as compared with the solid block of real merriment that comes to the man who puts on cotton whiskers and -plays Santa Claus. Can you think of anything more hi lariously exciting and mirth provoking than to be. wrapped up for an hour in cotton batting bandages that interfere with breathing and make the head feel as though it were taking all of the de grees of a Turkish bath? L.et the little ones enjoj' themselves, but they will never know what real pleasure is until they get old enough to don the store whiskers. Took Little Things to Heart.

"That is 'Old Hundred' modernized." "What have they done? Marked it down to 08 cents?" PERT PARAGRAPHS. No man is an adequate judge of the size of his own head. The amount of near thoughts that are in circulation is sufficient to drown any real thought that might chance to have existence. If all hypocrites were to be exported there would not be anybody to do the job. The blessings of poverty and the sweets of adversity are best seen and enjoyed from the altitude of a big bank account. Incompetency assuming responsibil ity is the worst sort of dishonesty. Many times one's neighbors think you ought- to love them as they love themselves. An easy way to fall out with your friends is to be continually dropping In upon them. When a man has his heart broken by a woman he proceeds to gather up the pieces and take them to a feminine re pairer. A fixed condition is as impossible as an honest man or a silent woman. The ability to keep constantly and untiringly at the same thing is what makes a genius or a bore. Honesty of purpose is all right until it meets with incapacity of perform ance, and then look out.
