' In some of the western states and '"ritories they have sandstorms,.s'ays writer in the Outlook. The wind .ncn', and the sand is blown in great uantities and- with great swiftness. ometimes the . sand buries small orses, as the snow does. It banks p against buildings and buries cattle n the plains. The cattle seem to now when one of these storms is rewing, and are terrified and very ifiicult to control. Among the scouts n the western plains is one who owns . pony named Cita. When a man and '- pony live together for a long time my become great friends, and object 1 separation. Cita had stumbled and Kinned one of her legs. Her master ad to go out on an expedition, ‘and .ecided that he would ride another .crse. He thought the journey too ;ard for Cita with her hurt leg. After the scout had been gone an .our one of the sandstorms came up. At night the wind wen-t down and the noon rose. The men sat sorrowfully :round the camp fire, when they were tartled by the sound of a horse’s feet. l‘he scout’s friend rode into camp, ex- 1austed, and wit-h face and hands cruised by the flying sand. He had worked his way out of the flying drift after the storm was over. The scout had been blown from his pony. The last the friend saw of the man and pony were being blown before the wind. The party started to search for the scout. They discovered that Cita had broken her halter and was gone. ’lhey followed her, trail, and afterk many hours heard a horse whinny. In the moonlight they discovered Cita, reared on her hind legs, digging in a huge pile of sand with her fore . feet. The men went to work, and there, under his horse, which had pro- tected hin’i ,. they found the scout, alive. ‘ ‘ ' FRENCH FUNERALS. Napoleon Created the Having but One Undertaker for Paris. Practically there is, or was, only one undertaker for the whole of the French capital and its suburbs. Dis- gusted with the abuses and unseemly scenes of his times, Napoleon I. con- ferred the monopoly of burying the. Parisians on one contractor, and the arrangements exist until 'the present day. it must not be thought, however, that the privilege was granted without very stringent conditions, which, as they stand, make a considerable in- road on the enormous profits of the monopolist. Funerals are divided in- to nine classes, ranging from 7184 francs t0.18 francs 75 centimes. The municipality allows the burial company $1 per body interred. On the other hand, the company is bound to refund 56 per cent. of its gross re- ceipts, which sums are divided among the various religious communities. In addition, the company has to bury gratuitously every individual whose friends or relatives are unable to de- fray the expense of any of the nine classes—Golden Days. A Soft Answer."

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-foui hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When u1ine stains linen it is evidence I of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There' 15 comf01t 1n the knowledge so often exp1essed, that Dr. Kilmer’ s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish 1n relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver; bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquo1, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant .necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to u1in- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a, medicine you should have the best.

There is a tradition in New Mex- ico that worked have been lost. other tradition that many springs have been lost and it is understood that thelosses of both .mines and springs are brought about by the In- dians. to have been much 'more attractive than it is now. The Pueblo Indians ’arose in revolt on the first full moon of August, 1680. When they had driven the Spaniards down into Old Mexico they set to work to ‘change the conditions so that there should should be little temptation to reconquer New Mexico. This idea inspired the filling of mines which had been opened and worked. during the former Spanish- occupation. The Indians, with great care, destroyed all traces of many mines, it is said. This is not so sur< prising as what they did to the springs. It is tradition, and the statement is commonly accepted as historical truth, that in their labors to render the coun‘ try as uninviting as possible, these In— dians suppressed numerous springs. Such results were accomplished in an ingenious manner. The Indians dug down and cleared away the dirt until they found the crevices of the rock through which the water came. They fir tree and tamped it into the crev- ices. As the material became water- soaked it swelled until it plugged. Nothing remained but to throw back the dirt and to give to the surface the general arid appearance of the sur- rounding country. This was not a temporary expedient. It resulted, ac- cording to the present theory, in the permanent destruction of many sourc- es of water. _ To this day the appearance of slight moisture often stimulates a search for one of the missing springs. Occasion- ally these searches are successful. The earth is removed, the crevices are found, the bark is picked out, and the water, after more than two centuries of being turned back, resumes its nat- ural flow—Topeka Capital. ‘ STORY OF A WAR SONG. How the Music was Composed for "We Are 00min: Father Abraham.” The man who composed the music for Whittier’s song “We Are Coming, Father Abraham. Three Hundred Thousand Strong,” is an old and some: what discrepid piano tuner, who car- ries on his business in this part of Minnesota. His name is A. B. Irving. One day soon after Lincoln’s call for 300,000 more men, Irving, then a young man, was on his way to Defiance, Ohio, from Fort Wayne, for the purpose of singing at a political and loyal meet- ing. He had considerable reputation as a composer and singer, and the Re- publicans had asked him to come and help them. On the way he read the poem, which had just been published. Irving studied it, formulated a tune, hummed it and got the rhythm, and that evening at .119 Defiance meeting he sang the song for the first time. When he had finished and the'last echoes had died away men mounted their chairs with wild enthusiasm, swung their hats'and broke loose. in cheers that rang with feeling. He sang it again and ,again, and they could scarcely let him rest. . The next night he sang the song at Fort Wayne, and' again aroused the same enthusiasm. He wrote out the music and sent it to the publisher who had handled what he had composed, with instructions to publish it on his usual terms of royalty. It was pub- lished, and inside of a month more than 40,000 c0pies had been sold. In a few days the publisher failed and Irving never received a dollar for the music.-—Windom, Minn., Reporter.

A Georgia man who had made a flying machine offered a negro $10 tc make a trial trip in it. The negro agreed, got in position, and he and the machine were hoisted by block and tackle about thirty feet from terra firma. _ . . ‘ When the rope was loosened the ma- chine took a sudden slanting course toward earth and plunged into an ad- jacent mill pond. It disappeared with the negro be- neath the water, while the terrified in- venter stood shrieking for assistance. Presently the negro’s head bobbed up serenely, and he struck out for dry land. 0n arriving his first splattered words were. “Marse John, why didn't you tell dat fool thing whar ter light?” I --Atla_n.ta Constitution.
