GOATS NEARLY RUINED HIM
Farmer Complains of Bureau Litera
ture to Roosevelt.
Philadelphia Rec'rd.
Washington. D. C.. June 20.-Presi
dent Roosevelt at the Cabinent meet
ing to-day entertained the member
by reading a humorous letter he ha<
reeeived from a New Hampshir,
farmer, who had been experimentini
with Angora goats. This is the letter
Mr. President: I regret -to call you:
attention to the Angora goat depart
ment of the bureau of agriculture
It has spread broadcast a documen
commending Angoras to the farmer
of the country. This contains thre
specious landscapes.
"Before Goating" shon s a dens
jungle, suggesting the average Nev
Hampshire pasture. "One Year Afte
Goating" shows the same land pro
ducinga valuable crop of bean poles
"Two Years After Goating" shows :
lawn suitable for golf links Th,
onifniverous appetite of Angoras i
described in a way that led me to hop,
they might even effect a saving ii
blasting powder, the chief source o
expense in farming hereabouts.
I procured a flock at considerabl
cost. The result of the first inter
view of my dog and the buck cause
me to name the latter Togo. Hi
views on the subject, I think, woul
receive your approval. The does. of
tihe other hand. neglect their kids s
shamelessly that I fear they belon
to a female goat club.
I inclosed the flock with a fenc
highly recommended to me by -th
American Steel and Wire compan}
I now suspect that this coinpa.,y ma;
be a Trust, and should be investi
gated. The goats began by thrustin
their heads through the upper par
of the fence, where they hung b
their horns. When tired of this the
went through, under and over th
tence.
T make no comvlaint that they at
a valuable rose garden belonging to
neighbor; but their conduct in m
own vegatable garden entitled me t
relief. When pursued their rapidit
of movement might suggest ideas t
the Pennsylvania Railroad compan
in connection with its Chicago-Nei
York service. If interested, you ca
<obtain the flock on easy terms, nc
necessitating a new bond issue.
I leave the matter, Mr. Presiden
to you, sure of justice. A consulat
near good fishing ground -would b
appreciated.
* An Absent-Minded Man.
A group of sailors on coastwise vea
sels were gathered on an East Rivc
pier recently and got to spinnin
yarns as sailors usually do when the
.are together long.
"The absent-mindedesf man I evt
hearn tell of used to live downi
Maine," said one old tar.
"He was so blamed absent-mninde
-tihat he used to fergit his name. T11
pepul of the town was on to him a
right and had lots of fun with him.
"One day he went to the postoffic
and asked if there was enny mail f<
his'n folks. 'What's your name?' as]

ndI started to go h-,ime. Just out
si(ie the (iuor he met an old friend,
who said: 'Good a'ternoon. Mr. Hall.
- The old man rushed pellmeli into the
- postoftice, singing out at the top of
his voice, Hall! Hall! That's my
I name! Got any mail fer the Halls?'
"Old Hall and his wife were just
starting out to take a drive one day,
and they forgot tVhe hitching rope.
Old Hall said he fetch it, so he went
- to the barn. He had been gone a
. deuce of a while, so his wife thought,
t when he came around the corner of
the house toting an old sawhorse. His
wife got the rope.
'That old fellow did a kinds of
queer things. He'd just as likely grab
his wife's frying pan when he was go
ing to milk the cow as the milk pail.
- His wife hit the nail on the head when
she said: 'I can never tell, when I
send Jim for a needle that he won't
a show up with a pickax.'
- A Dear Little 'Boy.
1 Archbishop Ryan, at a dinner that
f was given in his honor in Philadel
phia, anent, a man who had bought a
salted mine:
- "The gentleman's disappointment
I on the discovery of the salt must have
s been great. It resembles a little, per
I haps. the emotion of a certain Frank
1 fort man.
" "This man had a small nephew of
whom he was very fond. One night
in evening dress, he called at the
e youngster's house. and, taking hirr
e on his knee, gave a demonstration oi
an opera hat's mechanism. First he
' would crush his ta.l black hat intc
- a pancake. Then, with a loud report
he would spring it back into its porp
t er shape again.
Y "The little fellow was amused. H<
Y took the that. He too, found h<
e could crush it and open it again witl
ease. He played with it for half ar
e hour. He had a good time. The epi
a sode made an impression on him.
y "The uncle. called the next montl
0 on a Sunday afternoon. Tbis tim<
y he wore a frock coat and a silk hat
0 He placed tihe silk hat on a table it
y the hall, entered the parlor and be
v gan to converse with his brother.
n "An hour passed. Then the little
t nephew entered with something blacl
and shapeless in his hand.
t, " 'Uncle,' 'he said, 'this hat is hard
e er than your other one. I've had t<
e sit on it, but I can't get it more'n hal
shut." -

Cuban Diarrhoea. ca
U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba C,
during the Spanish war know what B:
this disease is, and that rrdinary tr
'remedies have little more effect than is
Sjso much water. Cuban diarrlhoea is et.
almost as severe and dangerous as a w
mild attack of cholera. There is' one
*remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the le
following certificate from Mrs; Min- at
tnie Jacobs of Houstonr, Texas:- "I it
Shereby certify that Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme
dy cured my husband of a severe at
tack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he h<
brought home from Cuba. We had tt

scured him, as our neighbors will tes- F
Stify. I thank God for so valuable a a'
