IF the next legislature would pass a law prohibiting fishing during the spawning season it would look - more reasonable than many of the fish^ and game laws which are now in force. THE fact that over 750 new books will be placed before the American public this spring would indicate that the United States is making wonderful strides in literature as in everything else. - A REPRESENTATIVE of The Plain- dealer called at Hopkins' headquarters in Chicago Monday and found every­ one in high spirits and full of confidence for the future. Mr. Hopkins has been making a clean, honest canvass of the state and his straightforward methodg are making an impression that counts. When conventions are held in the Ma­ son districts it may look like a land slide for that candidate, but it would be well to bear in mind that Hopkins is now far in the lead. It will require more than one land slide for Meson to catch up with Hopkins. THE fact that Congressman Hopkins looks like a sure winner in his aspira­ tions to be elected United States senat­ or, has stimulated the ambitions of several men who would like to be his successor in congress. Howard Snapp of Joliet has the indorsement of Will county and it is expected Dupage county will instruct for Judge Brown of Whea- ton, while Kane has several men anxious to become congressman. If Mr. Hop­ kins succeeds in his senatorial ambition, would it not be a good idea for Mc- Henry county to present a candidate? What is the matter of Judge Donnelly a? such a candidate? He is in every way able, a good lawyer, an upright jtdge and a stalwart republican. He would ably and creditably represent this district in congress and would re­ flect credit on the county and district. -- Harvard Herald. Thm e ia no mau in this county or in any county whom The Plaindealer would like lo support better than Judge Donnelly. PROBA TE NEWS j SHORT SIGHTED. The Nunda Herald says that the Mc- Henry republican township caucus ex­ perienced the same trouble as the Nunda and Algonquin township republican caucus, namely the voting of many democrats. "If democrats and republicans, so far as town politics are concerncd, can eat porridge from tbe same dish, so much the better for the tranquility of the town." The above appeared in The Plain- dealer two weeks ago and the Herald in commenting on the sentence, says: "If party politics are dropped and caucuses are called in the name of the people, we heartily endorse the sentence above. But if republican and demo­ cratic caucuses are called, is there any honest reason under heaven for those of a given political faith mixing in the affairs of those of the opposite faith? The caucuses should be what they pre­ tend--republican if called by the repub­ licans, democratic if called by the democrats, and peoples if called by the people, irrespective of party." The above remarks are well worded and decidedly to the point, and it shows conclusively that the editorof the Herald knows nothing abont the lay of the land in McHenry, or he is a much better republican than a politician. Fo* Art's Sake. Mr. Boughton, tbe English artist, While sketching in the Alps, was one day in search of a suitable background Of dark pines for a picture be had planned. He found at last the precise Situation he was seeking, and best of all, says Tit-Bits, there happened to be a pretty detail in tbe figure of an Old woman in the foreground. "I asked the old lady," said Mr. Boughton, "to remain seated until I tiad made a sketch of her. She assent­ ed, but in a fet*- minutes asked me low long I should be. 'Only about a Quarter of an hour,' I answered reas­ suringly. •Three minutes or so later she again fcsked me--this time with manifest anxiety--if I should be much longer. "'Oh, not long!' I answered. 'But Wrhy do you ask so anxiously?' ** 'Oh, It's nothing,' she sadly an­ swered, 'only I'm sitting on an ant MIL"* Tired Out " I was very poorly and could hardly get about the house. I was tired out all the time. Then I tried Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it only took two bottles to make me feel perfectly well."--Mrs. N. S.Swin- ney, Princeton, Mo. Tired when you go to bed, tired when you get up, tired all the time, why? Your blood is im­ pure, that's the reason. You are living on the border line of nerve ex- haustion. Take Ayer's Sarsapar i l la and be quickly cured. $1.90 • bottle. All dru((Uts. Aik your doctor what he thinks of Ayer's Sars&parUlit. He knows all abouftliis grand old family medicine.

The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil­ ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu­ matism come from ex­ cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned bloociihrough veins and arteries. It used toUeconsidered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin­ ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz­ es. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

The keepers of the big cobras in the Central park menagerie and the New York zoological garden do not And it easy to supply their venomous charges with the kind of food that they spe­ cially prefer. In their native land co­ bras live chiefly 011 smaller and less dangerous and objectionable snakes, but although every effort is made to collect harmless snakes to satisfy the appetite of the imprisoned cobras at some seasons they have to be content with rats and mice, which they do not particularly like. Other varieties of captive snakes are fed mainly on toads, mice and rabbits. English sparrows are also purchased for them. Eatinv an Oranare. When oranges are cut across and eat­ en with a siK>on somewhat of their naturalness seems gone. It is an arti­ ficial way of eating this fruit, but often proves the most convenient. The way in which the juice flies Is one of the drawbacks to this method. By taking a knife and cutting a little circle around the coje in the center this tend­ ency of the Juice to fly is largely coun­ teracted. Some fastidious people never cut thqir oranges across and never uso a spoon, but Instead cut them in eighths with the skin on and sip tbe Juice from these little portions. 1 Tbe Phenlx of Arabia. In olden times a bird called a "phe­ nlx" was thought to live in the deserts of Arabia. His lease of life was said to be 500 years, at the end of whicb time be built a nest of spices and fan­ ned It Into a flame with his winga. The flame reduced the bird to ashes, out of which he sprung to live another 600 years. Richardson says that he had fifty orifices in his beak, through Which he sunj,' melodious airs. EMERALD PARK.
