The American Farmer the Best in the World.
The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master of
the soil he is gaining in intelligence quite
s rapidlv as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig
nificance when compared to the money,
brain and brawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $.?oo,
000,000 for their products in a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
pat. He knows, if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way you ac master 0 your own destiny.
Proviinii your blood is in good order, it
only needs -.i little effort on your own part
to keep he;iUhy and strong rid your body
of the po;oiis that are apt to accumulate
and your system is ready to ward off the
attack of the germs of disease. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes rich red
blood by increasing the number of red
blood eorpuscles. There is no alcohol in
this great tonic to shrivel up the red blood
corpuscles. As an alterative extract, made
only of herbs and roots it goes about its
work in nature's way. It stimulates the
liver into proper action, and feeds the
worn-out nerves, stomach and heart on
pure blood. Used for over a third of a
century it has sold more largely than any
other blood medicine in the United States.
More bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery are sold to-day than ever before
that is a true test of its medicinal value after
thirty-eight years of deserved popularity.

THEY GOT RIGHT OFF.
And Took wltl Them Som ot the
Smart Conductor'! Ilard
Enrned Cash.
Four men were playing cards in the
smoking compartment when the con
ductor entered with the request: "Fares,
gentlemen."
Three of them quietly handed up tick
ets, hut the fourth did not, and seemed
to become suddenly embarrassed, re
lates the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Fares!" said the conductor again,
this time rather sternly.
The passenger addressed responded
with a series of spasmodic winks, and
lairbd the backs of his cards signifi
cantly when his three companions were
out looking.
' Com, sir; I'm In a hurry," said the
conductor.
"I am sorry, sir, but I h&vent any
ticket"
"Pay your far, then; It costs only ten
cents more."
"Boys, will you allow him to take a
rake-off?" inquired the delinquent of his
fellow players.
"Not much," was the unanimous an
swer. "My money's all on the board," said
the passenger, appealing to the conduc
tor. "You'll have to get off at the next
station, then."
The man laid his cards face down and
said in a low tone to the next player:
""What you you do?"
"I raiBe you 20," was the reply.
The man passed his hand up to the
conductor. The latter gave It one glance.
Then he relieved a fat pocket-book of
two $20 bills and handed theui to the
dealer.
"We see your 20 and go you 20 be'tter,"
he said.
The original raiser of f 20 shifted un
easily in his seat. Matters were becom
ing oomplicated. Finally he said:
"I'll raise you ten."
"Call him," said rho conductor, and
handed over the money.
The delinquent passenger called, and
started to take in the money on four
aces, when the other showed a straight
flush and proceeded to fill his pockets
with the money, which included the con
ductor's.
The latter was dazed. The delinquent
passenger was meek and astonished.
"Now, you'll hare to get off! " snapped
the conductor.
The train was just pulling Into a sta
tion, and the whole party alighted.
After the train had started again a pas
senger remarked to the conductor:

National I.Ivi'stotk Association
Open to Packers.
Denver, Jan. 13. The National Live
stock Association was rent in twain to
day by the adoption of a new constitu
tion which admitted the packers to
membership and provided an open door
through which the railroads of the
country might at any time become
factors in the control of the organiza
tion. The cattlemen, horse and swine
growers, together with the representa
tives of the affiliated industries refused
to agree to the new constitution and
withdrew when they considered its
adoption probable, and this afternoon
formed a new organiz-ition under the
name of "The American Stock-Growers
Association."
Roughly speaking, the sheep growers,
commission men and stock yards inter
ests remained with the National Live
stock Association. The aotual growers
of all other animals for market have
gone with the new association. The
defection came after a torrid sespion.
