Sunday night shortly after five o'clock the people here were terribly shocked to hear that Howard Churchill, while in bathing, had been unable to swim across the creek as he had undertaken to do, and sank. His companions tried every means to save him, but without success, his body being found two hours later. The sad news had been taken home at once by a younger brother, Bert, who had also been in the water. Howard Vincent Churchill was bom October 18, 1887, and died July 25, 1905, being 17 years, 8 months and 7 days old. He was the third child and eldest son of Ira Henderson and Sarah ^Churchill and leaves besides them four sisters, Luella, Alice, Myrtle and Bessie, and three brothers, Bert, Glenn and Ralph. He has always lived in this vicinity, having been born on English Prairie, and attended school there until four years ago, he then coming to the Spring Grove school the two succeeding years. The funeral was held Tuesday after­ noon, the interment being in the Solon cemetery. Rev. Lumsden of Richmond spoke words of comfort to the loved ones. The parting with our loved ones is very hard at any time, bat at such a time seems to be too great to be borne. Methodlnt Episcopal Church Services. Preaching service-- .... * 10:30 a. m.

When Mike left the en,ploy of Broth­ er Rubblea, who keeps a country store and also "farms 'it" - in- Washington- county, Me., he owed a considerable balnme to Brother Rubbles. Mike seemed quite willing to forget about it, but more intimate acquaintances of Brother Rubbles never lost faith that the account would b# squared in due time. After Brother Rubbles had ceased even to drop gentle hints about the little bill Mike became the owner of a single lusty hog, of which he was in­ ordinately proud. He bragged about IS unceasingly,, and Brother Rubbles made a friendly call one day to see it and praised the hog fh a way that de­ lighted the heart of the lucky owner. "Can't see how ye got him so fat, Mike." said Brother Rubbles. "Mine don't fill out that way. I guess it takes an Irishman to bring up a pig." Then after a pause Brother Rubbles added: "I've got a shote I'll give ye if you want it. I should like to see what ye can do with my stock." There Is an old saying that sets forth the danger of trusting the Greeks even when they offer gifts, but Mike had never heard it At the first op­ portunity he went over to Brother Rubbles' barn and brought away the sorriest looking shote that ever lived. , The next day Brother Rubbles "lev­ ied" on the big hog. The law would not have jiermltted him to do that so long as Mike was the owner of only one pig. Ocean Stream*. The fresh Inflow of salt water from the Arctic seas which mingles with the Inflow of the rivers produces in the regions of the north and east of the New Siberian archipelago a vast cold, clearing out current, which carries be­ fore it all the fragments of the central Ice field, forming thus a mighty drift toward the eastern coast of Green­ land. This cold current bears along on its surface floes, ice fields, icebergs, hummocks, etc., and washes up along the Greenland coast an almost insuper­ able barrier. When this current reaches Cape Farewell it divides, one portion descending straight toward Newfoundland, while the other goes to increase the current In Baffin's bay and Hudson strnlt. It is this last mentioned current which carries ice­ bergs even down to the latitude of Vigo, and its power plays an Important and capricious part in the meteorology of Europe. Timely Advice. When a certain financial panic broke out the senior editor of a trade Journal published in the interests of business men and financiers was on ,a visit to a mining town. Fearful lest his junior In the office at home might give edi­ torial utterance to pessimistic views and weaken public confident* still fur­ ther, he liastened to a telegraph office and dispatched a brief message of ad­ vice. It happened that the Junior partner on this particular day had Just become the father of a pair of fine twin boys. While his friends in the office were congratulating him upon this event a messenger entered with a telegram. He opened It and read the following message from the senior partner: Dear George--^Things look blue, but they will brighten up soon. Take a cheerful view of the situation. HIRAM.. The Great America* Novel, i The great American novel, of which BO much was once heard, does not come, but the work is gradually being written in departments. The country is too vast, as the novelists have per­ haps seen, for one novel to cover the ground as they used to hope. They are, therefore, specializing, and some of them are writing so conscientiously and observing so well that those of our own practitioners whose tendency Is to repeat a convention rather thap return afresh to life with each book ought to be feeling uncomfortable. -- London Times.

Though put up in coarser form than Thedford's Black-Draught, renowned for tk^ cure of the digestion troubles of persons, it has the same qualities of invigorating digestion, stirring up the torpid liver and loosening the constipated bowels for all stock and poultry. It is carefully pre­ pared and its action is so healthful that stock grow and thrive with an occasional dose in their food. It cures hog cholera and makes hogs grow fat. It cures chicken cholera and roup and makes hens lay. It cures constipation, distemper and colds in horses, murrain in cattle, and makes a draught animal do more work for the food consumed. It gives animals and fowls of all kinds new life. Every farmer and raiser should certainly give it a trial. It costs 25c. a can and saves tm timM iti price in profit. pjrraBCRO, KiS., Msrch IS, 1904. i I have been using your Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine on 1M stock for soma time.
