opposition, the referendum was Incor

A New England man, lately returned
from a year In South Carolina, tells of
a little darky whom he saw the week
after his arrival, and from whom be de
rived great amusement during bis stay
in the South. :
The man was lying In his hammock
on the hotel piazza one day, and opened
his eyes after a drowsy period to find
a small, coal-black boy regarding him
solemnly, a tall glass of some cooling
drink on a tray held tightly by both
hands.
"Who are you?" asked the invalid,
idly ; but there was no reply save a
broad smile.
"Where were you raised?" Inquired
the Invalid next, with a vague idea
that he had heard that was the usual
opening question.
There was another broad smile, but
out of the midst of It gurgled the reply:
"I ain't done raised yet, snh."

WHEBB "DBY FARMING" PAYS.
Application of Scientiflo Method
II aa Overcome Drought.
Growing reports are reaching here
about the success of dry farming In the
seinlarld regions, says a Los Angeles
dispatch to the New York Post. New
Mexico has added more new postofllces
to its list during the year than any
other State or Territory; and in re
gions where rational "dry farming"
methods have been adhered to the new
settlers are uniformly prosperous. This
year's experience, in fact, has demon
strated beyond question the full effi
cacy of the new system of dry farm
ing. Wherever It has been tried, the
results have been good. In spite of n
drought of almost unprecedented length
and severity. It can no longer be pre
dicted thnt "when a dry year comes,
the Campbell system will fail." The
dry year is here, and the sclent! Qc dry
farmers are reaping record crops. The
result will be a phenomenal develop
ment in New Mexico, Arizona, and
other regions in the semlarid region
within the next decade.
From New Mexico and Arizona have
come widespread complaints of damage
to crops and loss of live stock on ac
count of the protracted drought. Thous
ands of sheep have died of thirst on
the ranges, and many Inexperienced
"dry farmers" have learned the costly
lesson that farming In the semlarid
lands demands very different methods
from those practiced In the older agri
cultural communities. In one week of
July more than 1.000 farmers whose
crops have been almost ruined by the
drought secured leave of absence from
their homesteads, and went to Kansas
to obtain work as harvest hands In the
wheat fields. Moreover, practically all
of these will return when the Kansas
wheat harvest is over, and hereafter,
It is safe to say, they will put In prac
tice methods better suited to success
ful plains farming. The drought In
New Mexico and Arizona has now been
broken, and no further loss or suffer
ing Is anticipated. In spite of these
difficulties the Influx of homesteaders
Into both the southwestern territories
continues to grow In volume.
CONTAINS
oNO MERCUHV
Medicines containing Mercury are often given to persons suffering; with
Contagious Blood Poison, and so powerful is the action of this drug that it
frequently removes the symptoms in a short while, and shuts the disease
up in the system to do greater damage to the delicate internal members.
When, however, the treatment is left off, the disease always returns, and the
patient finds that his health has been injured by this powerful mineral, and
he is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma
tism, etc. The action of S. S. S. is entirely different. It contains no
Mercury, nor any other harmful drug, but is made entirely of healing,
cleansing roots and herbs. It cures Contagious Blood Poison by removing
the virus from the blood. It searches out every particle of the poison
and does not leave the least trace for future outbreaks. S. S. S., in
addition to curing the disease, builds up and strengthens every part of the
body. Its fine tonic effects tone up the stomach and digestion, improve the
appetite and regulate the entire system. Home treatment book containing
valuable information about the different stages of the disease and any
medical advice desired sent free to all who write.

Delay la Divorces.
"The underlying reason why somnrh
time usually elapses between the filing
of petition and the hearing or trial in
divorce proceedings Is not generally un
derstood," remarked a lawyer who
makes a specialty of this character of
practice. "Perhaps it Is within the cir
cle of truth to say that in a majority
of cases, If either husband or wife,
whichever side be plaintiff, should 'stop,
look, and listen,' as It were, the trouble
would be adjusted out of court entirely.
"As a rule, judges are inclined to
afford ample time for domestic partners
to ponder well before pursuing further
toward legal redress for matrimonial
difficulties. 'Divorce lu haste and 're
pent at leisure' is a logical paraphrase.
Of course. If after mature reflection a
different opinion does not ensue, the av
erage jurist would favor progressing
the suit."
Juhanie'i Position.
"Yes," began Mr. Peters, Sr., "John
Peters, Jr., has quit school and accepted
a position In Davis' general store."
"Indeed !" commented the summer
visitor. "What are his duties?"
"He Is superintendent of the cracker
and cheese department," replied Mr.
Peters, Sr., with guarded satisfaction.
"He 1ms the entire charge of wropplug
up the cheese."

Slepplessness on a cold night may
often be relieved by tying a silk hand
kerchief over the head, which some
times gets cold while the rest of the
body is warm.
Boll a handful of wormwood In a
quart of vinegar and apply the tea as
hot as can be borne to a sprain or
bruise, then roll the affected member In
flannel to retain the heat. Repeat fre
quently until the swelling is gone.
Old medicines should not be pre
served. Many medicines deteriorate,
end what is good at one time miiy not
be so at another. The fewer uiedieluo
bottles lying about the less the risk of
the wrong medicine being administered.
Treating rheumatism with .lemon
Juice has resulted In most astounding
cures in Germany, where the idea ap
pears to have originated. The method
consists in swallowing the Juice of one
lemon on the first day, two on the sec
ond day, and so on progressively up to
twenty-five lemons. When this limit is
reached the numler of lemons should
bo diminished In inverse ratio.
For sore throat, pour a pint of boil
ing water on about thirty leaves of gar
den sage, and let stand for an hour;
strain and add vinegar enough to give
it p pleasant acid taste; sweeten with
honey, shake well, and lu the early
Ftages of sore throat, gargle several
times a day with It. This is perfectly
harmless, and to swallow any of It
111 do no harm.
Bunions do not yield readily to treat
ment, but after bathing the foot apply
(o the swelling with a soft hair brusb
the following liquid : Tincture of Iodine,
one ounce; tincture of aconite (tnado
from the roots, not the leaves), two
drams. Shake well and apply dally. A
piece of wool or cotton should be push-
rd between the groat toe and the one
next It, and fastened there, and this
will help throw the Joint in toward the
foot.
A Flavoring. It make a
