This corpora- tion awarded thousands of dollars in a similar guessing contest on the popula- tion of the United States. Every precau- tion has been taken to insure the most perfect fairness in the competition. No one within the wide fleld of the Pioneer Press can really afford to be without the Paper, and by sending in his subscription before the contest closes he may, in ad- ition to the benefits derived from its daily visits, become the possessor of a handsome sum of money. Every one who sends $1.20 for the Daily and Sunday Pio- neer Press for three months will be en- titled to one guess free. You may send subscription for as many months as you choose and you will be entitled to one guess for every three months’ subscrip- tion paid in advance on the Daily and or one guess free with each in advance to Pioneer June 1, to the before A Promisin Little I old, who V paid by his mother a penny per dozen for pins picked up from the carpet, to keep the baby from g them. said little Isaac, “do you know what I am going to do when 1 get ten cents?” “No,” answered the nurse. “I am going to buy a paper of pins ‘and scatter them all over the floor, and vick them up,” replied the young finan- cier.—Jewish World.

WHY GIRLS CANNOT THROW, Con- Their There Is a Scientific Reason, sisting of Difference in Structure and 'That of Boys. In this, the season of outdoor sports, the boy at school is prone to poke fun at his sister, because she prefers to skip the rope, and deride her because she cannot perforce throw a top at all, while he can make his spin every time. And he generally consoles himself for lack of her company by saying that “girls can’t throw, nohow.” In this he is far nearer right than he thinks, perhaps. Girls cannot throw, at least, not like men can. And they never can. They are not “built that way.” When a boy throws a stone he crooks his elbow and reaches back with his forearm, and uses every joint from shoulder to wrist. The boy's arm is re- ‘axed; a girl throws with a rigid arm. Tnis is because her collar bone is long- er and set lower than is a boy’s. This interferes with the free motion of her arm, required in throwing accurately.

Hillsdale, M., April 29th.—Much 1n- terest has been aroused here over the c of William Marks, who has been in a dying condition for several months with an apparently incurable Kidney Di se. The leading physicians of this place had pronounced his case a_ hopeless one, and others from Port Byron, Gen- eseo, and Davenport, Iowa, tended him, and in a consultation de- cided that he could not live. In desperation, his nephew , inquired of Mr. L. F. Giles, a local druggist, as to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a remedy which had just been introduced here. The results were marvelous. Mr. Marks immediately began to improve, and within a few weeks was able to be up and about, completely cured. His cure is the talk of the neighbor- hood, and is considered nothing short of a miracle. There appears to be no doubt that this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more malignant forms, such as Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, and Drop- sy, yield readily to its remarkable in- fluence. These forms of Chronic Kid- ney Disease have hitherto been consid- ered incurable, and have baffled all medical skill, and yet, this new remedy has cured every single case in which it has been used in this neighborhood. The doctors themselves are amazed at the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are accomplishing in Rock Island No. 1, New | Couny. In Doubt. “I always go to Henrietta,” said Mr. Meekton, “when anything is puzzling my mind. But a doubt has recently arisen which I don't quite know how to express.” “Aren't you happy?” “Of course I am happy. At least, I assume so. But I don’t feel inclined to act the way other people do when they are happy, and sometimes I al- most think that I’ve have had more fun if I were not married. But I can’t make sure. I can’t go to Henrietta and ask her whether, if she had been in my place, she would have married herself. | It doesn’t sound reasonable.”—Wash- ington Star.

Sigridur Jonsdottir, Kirmarstodum, Reykholasveit, Bardastrandarsyslu, Iceland, Europe. } This is the address given in an orde1 for Dodd’s Kidney Pills received and } filled by the Dodds Medicine Company of Buffalo, on April 16th. This unique direction means that to reach the sick peeple of Iceland, the parcel must travel to New York, then to London, Eng., then northwest to Greenland, to be landed finally on the lonely island at the edge of the Arctic Circle. This is a pointed illustration of how United States goods find their way to the re- motest corners of the earth. America to-day produces better medicines, as well as better manufactured articles than any other country in the world, | and this fact accounts for the demand | for Dodd's Kidney Pills from every | part of the known universe. All Plain to Him Now. “Here,” said the foreman of the press room, leading his visitors into another apartment, “are the great presses. The matter is stereotyped in the form of curved plates, these are placed on the cylinders, and as they revolve they leave their impression on the paper that unwinds from that roll at the back of the press. “I see now,” remarked one of the vis- itors, 2 person of much sagacity, “what is meant when we read of an item go- ing the rounds of the press."—Chicago Tribune. fs nervous and your doctor's medicine does ker no good, why don't you write to Dr. Greene about her and get his advice?

Riis is one of the most potent fact- ors for good in the whole city of New York, yet he is only a police reporter for the Sun. He has held the post for many years, and never aspires to any- thing more lucrative. Last month the King’s Daughters’ settlement opened a house on the East Side, at No. 50 Hen- ry street, and, in honor of the modest police reporter, have named it “The Jacob A. Riis House.” E Martin writes of Mr. Riis in Harper's Weekly, as follows: “He is not a police reporter fir lack of opportunities to do other things, but because that is the work which is most congenial to him and fits in best with his chief interest in life, which is the promotion of the health, comfort and improvement of the poor of New York. He is a Dane. “The king of Der‘nark conferred an honor upon him last summer, and if the American system of eivilization in- cluded orders, he would have pecks of them in his cellar. Col. Roosevelt men- tions him in a current magazine as the most formidable opponent that the evils of the New York slums and tenement houses have ever encountered, and quotes ‘a man well qualified to pass judgment,’ as naming him ‘the most useful citizen of New York.’ This is affiuent measure of praise, but it can’t hurt Mr. Riis, who is not working for praise, but, apparently, out of respect for the requirements of an imperative ruism, which keeps him loving his neighbor and working to help him, in the face of the fact that other jobs yiel€ so much more money. | “Nobody ever says of Mr. Riis that | he means well, or that he a kind but impractical. He has done ful things already for the East Si the way of promoting the sys- tem of small parks, and the destruction of scme of the more hellish habitations. If he lives long enough, and has the right sort of a city government to help him, he will be a notable power in the ac nplishment of things more won- |derful still. When the man comes along with the $100,000,000, which Mr. Hewitt says ought to be spent in im- | proving the East Side, Mr. Riis will be the man who will be asked to submit | plans for spending the money.” SELMA LAGERLOF. man, | wond i Kind Words for the Popular Swed- ish Writer. A well known critic, referring to Sel- ma Lagerlof’s recent work, “From a Swedish Homestead,” translated by Jessie Broctiner, says: “It has come to be pretty generally recognized, both in her own country and abroad, that Selma Lagerlof is the most promising of the young genera- tion of Swedish writers. In this coun- try .at least, she needs no special en- comium, for her writings have all of them won a quick recognition for thei: simplicity of style and their unique, sa+ ga-like quality of thought. Her best work, however, lies in the direction of the short story, rather than in a long and sustained effort, and even her “Gosta Berling,” which first brought her into notice, has the effect of a col- lection of old-time sagas rather than of a single story. This new volume is a collection of sixteen stories, legends and the like, many of which have ap- peared in the Idun and other Swedish periodicals during the past two years.” Swensson’s Great Festival. The annual Messiah festival at Lindsborg, Kan., this year was a greater success than ever before, which is saying a great deal. Noted soloists from the East took part, and the festi- val continued five days. Dr. Carl A. Swenson, president of Bethany college, originated these festivals, and their magnificent success is due to his great ability as an executive. Forest Culture in Norway. The importance of protecting the for- ests is highly appreciated in Norway, as in all the countries of Northern Eu- rope, for that matter. The Norwegian storthing recently voted 10,000 kroner, and the press complains that it was not enough, for this very important public matter. It is recognized that no investment will yield such sure and rich benefits as money spent in forest culture. Danish Political Parties. The voting strength of the political parties in Denmark, as shown by the recent folkething elections, is as fol- lows: Left reform party, 102,720; So- cial Democrats, 41,662; moderates, 29,- 381; miscellaneous votes, 4,822. The leftist figures hold their own with those of a year ago; the social Democrats show a high percentage of increase, but the others a decrease. Preparing for the Conference. The mission committee of the United Norwegian Lutheran church, in session this week at Kenyon, Minn., to prepare its report and recommendations for the annual conference to be held in Minne- apolis in June, has selected the follow- ‘ng committee: President Hoyme. Rev. Messrs. J. Lund, Elroy, Wis.; L. M. Bjorn, Zumbrota; G. A. Larson, Moor- head; N. J. Ellestad, Norway, Minn.; H. C. Holm, Eagle Grove, Iowa. Los Angeles Wants Mattson. Rev. Peter Mattson, pastor of the Ebenezer Swedish Lutheran church of Minneapolis, has received a call from the Angelica Lutheran church at Los Angeles, Cal. He has not decided what answer to send, but his congregation hopes to retain him. A Famous Sword. Admiral Peter Willemoe’s sword, which hé wore during the famous sea fight at Copenhagen, April 2, 1801, has been presented by Norway to Den mark. The sword has been in the care of the naval academy at Horten for many years, before that having had an honored place in the naval school at Fredericksvaern, to which it was pre- sented by Capt. Ferri. All in all, the weapon has been in Norwegian pos- session since 1801, having been pre- sented to Capt. Ferri in that year.
