A Story For Paclfista.
Colonel Roosevelt told at a recep
tion In Chicago a story for the profes
slonul pacifist.
‘ The pacifist, with his unworkable
Ideas,” he said, "reminds me of Victor
11 ugo.
"During the France Prussian war of
1879 Victor Hugo, then at the height
of his glory, was so horrified by the
cruelties of the siege of Paris that he
demanded, In a burst of splendid gen
erosity:
" if I go out In front of the armies—
If I go out alone und unarmed—I,
Hugo- and If I let them kill me— then
don't you think that this will end the
war?’
" ’For you, yes, certainly,* was the
cold and sagacious answer given to
Hugo.”— Washington Star.

A railroad company has paid Frank
Justice o f Polk county, Iowa, more
than $1(10 damages for hogs killed on

down would not stick for any length
of time, says Wallace’s Farmer.
Mr.
Justice told the claim agent that If

beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
