Look After the Undeserving Poor Say No One Elae Will. There Is a rich man In a Southern city who makes the undeserving poor his peculiar care, says the Independ ent His methods in dealing with what he calls a fresh sinner are unique and he regards them as scientific from the heavenly point of view. He insists upon a full catalogue of the victim's transgressions. He claims that this is done on the theory that a physician first adminis ters an emetic In case of poisoning. Then if the patient is an utterly lost and abandoned woman, he frequently takes her home with him, where she Is quartered in the guest chamber and treated by the family as the welcome guest whose presence there is In no way remarkable. For our scientist claims that it Is the loss .of the. sacred honie conscious ness in such women which casts them so far down, and his purpose is to re store the same by his own -fireside, which Is particularly attractive, In that he has a wife and many young children. Nothing is said to the for lorn one to remind her of her shame ; she Is simply left to get well, as the scientist expresses it. , And it is astonishing how many of them do get well. Ills boast Is that he has married his girls happily all over the country, for he Is an enthusi astic believer In wedlock. Upon a re cent visit to a distant city he remark ed to the editor : "I married one of my girls off in this town; couple doing well; moving in the best society. Good as the rest, too, now. But it's a secret; If society knew it would abolish her." He wink ed in conclusion, at the expense of so ciety. He cannot make a speech, but he is an eloquent splutterer; and although his manner to ministers is wittily def erential, he has been known to ruin a preacher's meeting and make the vic tims of his burning Incoherence look like rows of paper dolls blown before the breath of a living disciple. An Anchor to Windward. The solemn-faced man who drove the stage between Wlllowby and Green field never lost an opportunity to dis play his knowledge to a new pass enger, nor had he ever been known to suppress his opinion on any subject, no matter what it might be. "They tell me you're the man that wrote the story that's running in one o' the big magazines. I. forget which 'tis," he said one day to a cheery passenger who had been endeavoring to ask a few questions himself. "I believe I am," admitted the gen tleman. "I've never turned my hand to writ ing," said the stage-driver, flicking his horses in meditative mood. "No, sir, I've been too much took up with other things, but I read everything, most I was having a little talk with Bill Sears about you yesterday. We'd both been reading your last book before this new one. Now, do you rely en tirely on what you write for a II v 'ngr '."Not entirely," said the author, witr due humility. That's what I thought when I fin ished the book," and cbe stage-driver looked kindly at the man of letters. I'm real glad for ye that you've other means," fce said, benevolently. "Got 'em well invested, I expect, too. I told BUI Sears that was most likely the case. "I hope,' says a man of 20. "that things will be better to-morrow." "I , hope," be says when he Is past "that they won't be any worse." j RAIS1NQ OF WHEAT. Advantages of Correct Methods of Growing and Marketing. i By S. C. Armstrong. Washimrten State OaDtara, Pullman. We must first find out what the sl itting demand is point to be, and then, if possible, meet that demand; for 11 we do not meet the requirements of the demand, some one else will, and we will be forced to a lower level than ws should be. Consequently, in the pro duction of wheat, we have to study the problems we meet from a competitive standpoint; we must compete with somebody else who is growing wheat, not out neighbor, necessarily, but sur neighbor's section of the country. A man will go where he ran get ths best wheat, if he wants to buy, and if we have not the best, ws will lose the trade. : We of the wheat producing districts of Washington are fortunate in having the best country for the production of wheat on earth, and we should use ths utmost diligence to see that we employ only the best methods. If we do this, we can place Washington at the head of the wheat produoing regions of the globe, and the brand of the "Evergreen 8tate" on a barrel or sack of flour will be known as a mark of perfection the world over. We, the public, should eommenoe to raise tbe grade standard. The stats grain commissioner is at present forcing the purchaser to accept No. 2 as No. 1; we cannot expect to get as much for No. 1 wheat that tests 58 pcundi as our neighbors can for wheat that testa bet ter. Because this state of affairs exists, we are sending out, each year, wheat less sought for than wheat grown iu many other countries. We should insist that every grain giower in the state use such care In the productionh of his wheat that the re sulting higher standard will increase the demand for our wheat. If we im prove the quality of our product, the state grain commissioner will be forced to raise the standard; and we should in this way see that oar standard Is above the standard of every other wheat producing state. By doing this, ws would cause our wheat to be quoted at fancy prices. We 'should make our product so good that ws would be will ing to have our name and address print ed on it, so that as it goes out into the markets of the world, people the world over will know that we are proud of our product. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Valuable Information to Pacific North west Inquirers By J. L. Ashloek, Washington Experiment Sta tion, Pullman. Evan "Has mankind ever been able to devise a fence that will stop an An gera goatf Do coyotes annor thtmt" L. L. V. 'There are no domesticated animals that are as hard to keep penned up as Angora goats. To secure them, a fence should be of a kind that will not per mit the animals to climb, and from rour to nve iset nign. it should be so constructed that a coat cannot jump over it, and preferably should, be made of wire instead of boards. A wire fence made of woven wire and about fifty-four inches high should hold them. Kemem Der, tnat li the animals can get any sort or vantage from which to jump, they will go over ths fence. The goats are pretty good oa the defensive, hence coyotes do not as a rule make much headway in attacking them." Glenwood, Idaho "Is 'quack grass' a dangerous pestf How may I kill morning-glories!" C. jB. " 'Coueh grass' is another name for this pest, and it is certainly dangerous when it once has escaped into a garden. In the Eastern States it is reported quite often, but I have not been in formed that it is in the Northwest in any great abundance. The morning glory is even more dangerous than quack grass. Fall plowing and cover-' ing with straw or manure are fairly good means of destroying it, but it is nearly impossible to kill it by fall plo' ing." Wolf Creek, Mont "How much al falfa seed should be sown per acre! Which is better, fall or spring seed ing!" W. C. "If moisture conditions are all right, ran seeding will do in some region bp ring seeding should be dons so as to avoid damage by frost when the seed is germinating. Twelve to 'fifteen pounds per acre is abut right forbroad cast seeding, but if a drill or seeder is used, ten or twelve will do." Grass Valley, Or "Please tell me concerning the comparative value of wheat, hay, and carrots as a feed for horses." I. M. U. "Such a comparison is impossible, since the feeds you mention do not fill the same need. The food value of ear rots is very low, but the effect they have ia toning up tbe system, and keep ing it in good running order is very important. A horse could eat a peck of carrots per day to a very good advan tage, but you should not attempt te substitute them for hay. The same is true ia making a comparison of wheat and raw carrots for hog fesd, although up to the amount that a hog will eat, the carrots will replace a certaia por tion of the wheat. I eaa safely say that where carrots will yield tweaty tens per acre, you will find it highly profitable to feed them te hogs to the full capaeity of their appetities, provid ing you feed some grain ia eonnestioa with the eorrots; but you will be us able te keep stock hogs oa carrots alene, as they contain too small a percentage of beae-and-muicle-makiar Material." Getting Acquainted. "My dad kin lick your dad," said ths dirty faced boy. "I don't know whether he kin or not," said the new boy on the other side of the back yard fence, "but I'll rxt my ma kin outtalk your'n." Chicago Tribune. Missouri marketed lU7,10o,t!58 dosens of eggs last year, for which was received more than 16,000,000. Added to this are the items of live and dressed poultry and feathers, making the comfortable sum of nearly $40,000,000 for poultry pro linrta for tbe last Tear. The Gentle Rebatr. "Immeasurable ' are the rebuffs that the helpers of the poor, the seekers af ter charity for their suffering brothers undergo," said a New York charity or ganization official. "A friend of mine, a Methodist minister in a small west ern town, told ma the other day of his last rebuff, a not unkind one. Enter Ing the ofhYe of the local weekly, tbe minister said to the editor: " 'I am soliciting aid for a gentleman of refinement and intelligence who is In dire need of a little ready money, but who Is far too proud a man to make his sufferings known.' "'Why,' exclaimed the editor, push ing up his eyeshade, 'I'm the only chap in the village who answers that de scription. What's this ' gentleman's, name?' "'I regret,' said the minister, 'that I am not at liberty to disclose it. " 'Why, It must be me, said the edi tor. 'It Is me. It's me, sure. Heaven prosper you, parson. In your good work.'" What Make the Heart BeatT Frof. Jacques Loeb, the celebrated biologist, in his book, "Dynamics of Living Matter," has shown that a strip cut from the ventricle of the heart put in a solution of chloride of sodium will continue to beat for a number of days, until putrefaction sets in. He says this can be done with an ordinary muscle after it has been extirpated from the body. This would tend to prove that the heart Is a chemical machine and that it is all due to chemical action. The muscular contraction is probably due to the substitution of sodium for calcium salts In the cells of the mus cles. The difficulty of this theory Is that it does not explain the control of the muscles. It is plain that the problem of control Is not solved by the chemical theory.

To feel the touch never felt before, to be the first to find the planet unlmaglned in the Illimitable heaven of art, to be In at the dawn of a new talent, with the '.Ight that seems to mantle the written page, who would not be an editor for such a privilege?

Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Percna a great tonic. Others refer to Penma as a great catarrh remedy. . . Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Pernna a ca tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic ? Our reply is, that Penma is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can he no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a bpecifio action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action onthe nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condi tion of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen ths circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold npon the medical profession. When joined with CTOEES and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific rem edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be im proved uion. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLIN SONIA CANADENSIS, C0RYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDR0N SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locationi in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theorv tha result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Manufactured by Peruna Drug Would Ak No Mercy.

(c (e (S No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot ; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be thi remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep 'down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood,- where the real cause is located, ,and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poison-producing germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and healtlv-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place tbe healing begins, all discharge cease3, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.
