The woman who had been doing duty behind the perambulator was in the store. She had neglected to place the vehicle {n such @ position that it would nut move. The baby wasn’t used to being left alone, and is ses up a how! and proceeded to go through a series of gyrations. The result of all the commotion was that the baby carriage started off on a little journey of its own. Is was ona fair way to the road, and there was some danger of His Babyship being dumped in the street. The collie gravely observed the pro- ceeding for a second or two. He realized the danger all right, because {¢ took him just a wag of his tail or two to figure out the proper thing. He ran {n front of the perambula- tor and lald down, The perambula- tor stopped suddenly, up against thas masse of fur. And there the collle rematoed until the woman came out of the store.

Rowland, formerly cashier of the Bank of Healdsburg, was sentenced to six years in the San Quentin pent- tentlary. Rowland confessed to a shortage of $120,000, then pleaded not guilty and stood trial. The directors of the bank effected a compromise with Rowland’s rela- tives and gave Rowland a receipt in full, also making an entry on the minutes of the board to cover the {tem. The cours held that such a matter could not be covered that way and that the guilty could not be given !mmunity. In Five Minutes, Take your sour stomach—or may- be you call 1 indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; ft doesn’s matter—take your stomach trouble right with you toyour Phar- macist and ask him to open a 50- cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see ff within five minutes there is left any trace of your stomach misery. The correct name for your trouble {s Food Fermentation—foodsouring; the Digestive organs become weak, there is a lack of gastric juice, your food {s only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nauses, heartburn, griping tn bowels, tenderness in the pis of the stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, painin Mmbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas, bilious- ness, sick headache, nervousness, dizziness and many other similar symptoms. It your appetite is fickle, and noth- {ng tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump ofjead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there fs but one cause—fermen- tation of undigested food. Prove to yourself; atter your next meal, that your stomach 1s as good, ae any; that there fe nothing j wrong. Stop this fermentation and; begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. |. Almost instant relief is waiting for; you, I¢{s merely a matter of how oon you take a little Diapepein. | Senator Gardiner pictured possible conditions caused by whipping, as reported to him, and had heard a convict had been killed by whipping, he sald. McAllister declared that if Gardoer had heard such tales he was recreant to his duty if he did not ask foran investigation. He also declared for- mer Warden Matt Hall had been charged with too much leniency to prisoners. Senators McDavid and Wilson and Mayer wanted the post driven from the State, Oliver declared the post was necessary to the proper discl- pline of the institution. The amend- | ment was defeated and the bill sent to engrosement. I'd Rather Die, Doctor, | than have my feet cut off,” sald M.

Back to the Farm. | Inall the depression of the last two | years, farm products have remained | high and even now with hard times | at thelr height wheat and other grains are advancing to dizzy fig- | ures. This makes the “back-to-the- farm” idea all the more logical. The | report of the state board ofequaliza- | tion shows that there fs an actual! decrease in the number of acres un- | der cultivation in Missour!, Mis- | sourl’s growth has long been confin-| ed to the cltfes and this means) suffering and failure to thousands, who go into the big towns with an idea that money can be made easy. A dozen years ago farming was about as poor business as one could engage {n, but that condition has! changed, The farmer {s not a mill- jonaire, {¢ is true, but he stands} about as much chance of becoming | one as the average city man who {8 | working for @ salary or {n asmall business. Prices of the farm will never again reach their low level of | years ago and the man who rushes, to town now 4s changing just when | he should not.—Ex. Burned to Death. One of the saddest affairsever hap- pening in the Burdette neighborhood was enacted Saturday morning, when Lizzle Barlow, wife of Phillip Barlow | was burned to death, reports the} Merwin Clipper. | Mr. Barlow 1s a wood chopper and | he and his wife have been living in aj tent on the Wil! Berry farm. Satur-| day morning he went to his work as usual buton his return found the | lifeless form of his wife, with allcloth. {ng burned from her, lying a few tect | from where the tent had stood. | There are n0 witnesses to the sad af- | fair and the general supposttion is that the tent caught fire and tn try- {ng to save her home her clothing caught fire resulting in her death. The Barlows recently came here from Iowa. Rev. Traxel conducted the funeral services, and the body was interred in the Sharon cemetery.

It was thought by many persons shat the local option law prohibited giving away drinks {n dry localities. This was the ruling of Judge J. L Fort, of the Stoddard County Circuit Court, when he fined a resident of Frederickstown heavily for taking a man to his office and giving him a drink of whisky. An appeal followed to the Supreme Court and there the finding of Judge Fort was reversed, and the proceed- ings were dismissed, the court hold- Ing that the man who had given away the drinks of whisky had vio lated no law and could not be held. introduced a revision bill striking out thie feature of the local option law, as the court had held it to be | void. The bill had been lafd over a time or two in orderto give Senators time to examine the opinion of the Supreme Court. This finished, there was no objectios to the passage of the bill when {t was called up.
