Montana requires ita railroads to maintain a station ac plotted town sites of 100 inhabitants or more. Thirty States have Stats railroad commissions, twenty of which have power to fix rates on purely State traf fic. Intoxication while on duty is a mis demeanor for a railroad employe in California, and if death results, a fel ony. California makes the wrecking; of a train or an engine a felony punish able by death or life imprisonment, at the option of the jury. Railroads running within threo miles of a county seat in Oklahoma must build a line through the county seat and establish a station. In South Carolina it is a misde meanor for the conductor of a trolley car to refuse to separate negroes and white people. California haa made it a misde meanor to transport cattle, sheep, or swine in. carload lots for moi*e than thiry-six hours without stopping for fen hours rest. Virginia has found it necessary to pass a law declaring that for all legal purposes the words ''railroad" and "railway" are to be considered syn ' onymous. In Massachusetts the illegal sale of street railway transfers is made pun ishable by a fine not exceeding $50, or imprisonment for not more than 3d days. The legislature of Washington at its latest session passed a law making the maximum railroad fare for adults 3 cents a mile and for children 1 1-2 cents. A trolley company in Vermont whose cars fail to come to a full stop and display a signal at a grade rail road crossing is subject to a fine oi $25 for each ommission. By the forms of a new statute in Michigan in a suit by or against d railroad company the books of the company are subject to the inspection of the Attorney General of the State. The State of Mississippi has effect ed the increase of about $12,000,000 in the amount of taxable property in the State by a recent readjustment in the assessment of railroads. In Minnesota railway, telegraph and express stations must bear the local name of the community, unless it is likely to be confused with the names of other stations on the same line. California rejoices in the law mak ing the circulation of fraudulent re ports regarding the value of the stock of a corporation formed in the State a felony punishable by two years' im prisonment of $5,000 fine, or both. Down in Georgia the Supreme Court has concluded that an engineer is not justified in acting on the pre sumption that a child of tender years on a railroad track will appreciate its danger and use the discretion of au adult in getting out of the way of an approaching train. According to a recent act of the legislature of that State, Florida rail roads failing to pay ft claim for loss or damage within ninety days must pay 25 per cent on the judgment ob tained by the claimant in excess, ol the amount offered by the railroad in settlement of the claim. The mere fact that a great many people have been in the habit of using a railroad trestle as a footbridge and .that the railroad company had made no complaint, says thc court of ap peals of Kentuckj', does not give the people any special rights on the bridge or compel the railroads com pany to exercise a special degree ol care ?or their safety. TALISMANS AND CHARMS. Talismans and charms have their tops and downs in fashion. Just now the wearing of such "mascots," says "The Woman's Magazine," seems to be in the ascendant. They hang from necks, they dangle from purses, they even adorn one's rooms. The new est charm in Paris, which is war ranted to leave joyousness in its wake, ls a pot of growing (shamrocks. The pots are small, and there is a great desire to get the four-leaved shamrocks to grow in them. Such a result, of course, is a mere question of luck. The shamrock charm will be much sought this season and will be a popular favor fOT luncheons. At least Paris is looking through green eyes at present. Farmer-I want 10 cents' worth o' stamps. Aleck Smart (the new clerk) What denomination. Farmer Backip-I'm a Baptist, but I don't know as it's enny o' your business.-Judge. No old age agreeable but that of a wise man.-Pythagoras. NO MEDICINE But Change of Food Gave Final Re* lief. Most diseases start in the alimen tary canal-stomach and bdwais. A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food. The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat-white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these things are digested in the small in testines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of Work, so that fermenta tion, indigestion, and a long train of alls result. Too much fat also ls hard to di gest and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloated, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress, but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and stoady nerves. A Wash, woman writes: "About five years ago I suffered with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi gestion, constipation-caused, I know now, from eating starchy and greasy food. "I doctored for two years without any benefit. The doctor told rn? there was no cure for me. I could not eat anything without suffering severe pain in my back and sides, and I became discouraged. "A friend recommended Grape Nuts and I began to usei it. In less than two weeks I began to feel better and inside of two months I was a well woman und have been ever since. "I Can eat anything I wish with pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast and are very fond of it." Name given by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich.

But in whatever it may be, and success will accompany ?heir efforts. It is the hardest task, this learning and living up to the fulfillment of conscientious effort.. It is very easy to find excuse for the cutting short, in some degree the work or project at hand. It is the workman who gives his employer the premium of work on every dollar he receives, that is going to get ahead, and be wanted when extra and better work comes'along. ; It is in every day life, in the homo, in the church, in society, that the con scientious person is wanted, for it is 'through such a person, that the best results come, that the home is exalt ed, the church made the strength it should be, and society redeemed from its frivolity and wastefulness. It is the doing more and-better than the allotted work, that counts. It is not being moral and upright, for mere individual gain, because .good, habits give their possessors a higher position, on a salary or money basis, but the being good, because goodness is a virtue that means peace, happiness and security to the possessor in this world, and in the ona to come. In a commercial cen :. it is the person who is above par :n character and application in con scientious effort, that is wanted in ev ery trade and profession, in every walk of life. The indifferent person may appear to succeed equally as well as the person that puts individual conscientiousness into work, But in the day when any crisis occurs, when work becomes scarce, wages are cut, or when a man or woman is wanted to carry out some great work of the moment, it will be found that the con sciencious person stands above his fellow, the indifferent and careless, and the call will be to him or her, as the case may be. In the school, in the field of labor, conscienciousness in the work at hand, is what means both temporary and future success. To carry to the fullest .possible, the lessons well learned, and thoroughly. To com plete the work of the hour and the day, carefully, honestly without waste of material or time. It means success. It means better future ef forts. It means character strength for the person so performing and ful filling. THE SUPPORT OF THB LOOAL MERCHANT. The approach of winter and the holiday season, when the most import ant and largest expenditures on the part of every person and family takes jplace, calls attention to a mat ter of great consideration, for those who are to purchase these supplies. This matter-is where are you, the cit izen, going to buy your goods, of your home merchant, or are you al ready sending out for catalogues from outside merchants of the great north .ern cities, and figuring on saving twenty-five cents on every ten dol lar purchase ? There is no greater community of interests in a town or city, than that which is to be found in local co-oper ation of the people. It is the senti ment put into active practice of doing everything possible for your neigh bor's interest. It is the good word ever ready for the city's defence. It is the ready help to promote and ad vance every local interest which means" public hetterments. It is found in giving the local mer chant every possible order, overy pos sible dollar in trade for goods, that c?nHbe purchased in his store, or or dered through his store. The support of homo institutions ie best seen in the local patronage given every worthy local merchant. The- re tail merchant, as a tax payer, is a most important supporter of every .thing that makes up a municipality. He is taxed for everything, and pro portionally bears the greatest bur den as a local taxpayer. This being true the local merchant deserves tho consistent support, and every possible dollar of patronage from his home people. At this season of the year, the pam phlet by mail, and the attractive ad in some outside periodical, is too apt to draw attention away from the local merchant. The person want ing goods very often will say what is the use of going to the local mer chant, he can't cany such goods, and so send an order to some outside mer chant. But how does the home citi zen know that the article wanted is not to be found in town"? Has the local newspaper been looked lover, .to see if the local merchant adver tises, or if not having the exact ar ticle, cannot order the goods, and so make a small profit? Lot this season be a new ona for lo cal buyers, in that they make up their lists of needed goods, look up their local merchant and give him the first opportunity to fill eveiy order, before sending a dollar to some northern city. Let the people trysthis one sea son,'and see what the result will be. Give it a trial. CONCERNING CURIOSITY. It's a bad habit. It gets you into no end ot trouble. It's always bad manners to try to pry into other persons' affairs. Respect his silence, and don't try to force information he does not want to give. The habit of ?prying into things has wrecked many a friendship. . Even the strongest affection revolts at a forced entrance into the holy of holies where the seal of silence is set. Trust your friends and cultivate in difference toward the private affairs of the rest of the world.-New Have* Register. A north wind has no cont and a poor man no friend.-From the Span ish."

In Oklahoma Territory one night last summer a cyclone swept over a section of the country and destroyed about forty houses. Next morning, about thirty miles from the path of the cyclone, a farmer going out to' mow his meadow found a child a year old In the grass. It was a boy aud he had a bedquilt wrapped around him. The storm had brought him, but the only hurtle had received wa3 a scratch on the nose. Notice was given to the nearest newspapers at once and the case waa published.I In this way hundreds of peo; le came to know about lt. One would think that the child's parents would have been found soon, but as a matter of fact no word has come from them yet. It may be that they were killed, or, as some think, they wanted to abandon the boy, though he is a sm?rt and cunning little chap and being praised by everybody. A dozen different families stood ready to adopt him, but his home Is with those who found him in tho grass. The name given to the lost baby ls simply "Cy," for the first syllable of cyclone, and if he wants to lengthen it out when he grows up there will be no objections. Perhaps when man hood Is reached we shall hear of him in the Legislature as "Mr. Cy Clone." -'New York News. What Do They Cure?
