DISPLAY IN WESTERN SKY.
Prof. Larkin Says It la Largest Par*
sign body Ever in Solar System
So Far as Known.
Ocean Side, California.—Prof. Edgar
Lucien Larkin, of Mount larwe. speak-
inf: of the comet A 1910 said:
“The huge comet now In display
north of the sun at sunset is the larg-
est foreign body ever in the solar
system so far is known since the
art of writing was discovered. From
the beginning of Chinese records, B.
2000 and Chaldean, such a colossal
comet has not been mentioned.
The comet proper, is not the largest
on record but its attendant mass of
luminous matter Is wider In area than
can be conceived of by vivid imagi-
nation. The area of the sun is about
one-fifth of a square degree hut the
area of the luminous sheet of matter
high above and far to the south of the
comet Is no less than 1,000 square de-
grees.
“The comet at sunset roughly esti-
mated was 25 degrees In length. The
length was vertical but the stem was
not less than ten degrees In width,
leauing toward the south.
North of the comet’s length the
*ky was normal but far and away to-
ward the south for 20 degrees and to-
ward the zenith, 60 degrees, even
to Saturn, the entire sky was covered
with brilliant matter. No such thing
is recorded in the history of man.
“This comet Is magnificent beyond
all powers of description. The nucelus
is of enormous diameter and we are
now making his’ory that will endure
for ages.”
»HOLDING THE CATTLE BACK
Small Receipts at Kansas City, Keeps
the Prices up in Spite of Boy-
cott Rumor*.
Kansas City, Mo.—Missouri and
Kansas farmers and feeders who sup-
ply the Kansas City live stock mar-
kets with most of its cattle seem to
nave thrown down the gage of battle
both to boycotters and to packers.
Only 6.000 steers were received,
against 12.000 Monday and the same
'number the next day, and prices,
which have been coquetting toward
lower figures, speedily rose. The mar-
ket opened slow and ' closed very
strong with active buying.
‘‘Looks as if war is declared,” a
commission dealer said. "The farmer
apparently Is going to hold up hla
cattle, whether he can afford it or not.
His salvation lie* In keeping the mar-
ket up.”
ARE NEAR A FAMINE IN PARIS
Flood Has Cut Off City’s Food Sup
ply and Price* Are
Soaring.
Paris. France—Paris Is beginning to
feel the pinch of hunger. The supply
of fresh meat and vegetables Is fail-
ing, and prices arc soaring to famine
figures. Some avaricious bakers, who
attempted to double the price of bread,
were roughly handled and twr
of them were thrown into the Seine at
Charanton.
Premier Hriand and the minister of
finance, M. Cochery, after a consulta-
tion estimated that the flood losses
would exceed $200,000,000.
Paris has been divided into five sec-
tions, each in charge of a military
commander who will control the relief
and rescue work.
A CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS
Th* Meeting in Washington a Pro-
nounced Success—It Has Com*
to Stay.
Washington, D. C.—Nothing In
the two houses of congress has been
. so interesting and significant as the
adjournment of the third house—the
house of governors—which with diplo-
matic modesty choses to denominate
itself the Conference of Governors.
This conference of governors tas
undoubtedly come to stay and to serve
the public and the states. In its first
Independent session It has outgrown
the expectation of Its original ele-
ments. and is now and henceforward
a great and expanding force in the
government.

Wichita, Kansas. — Fifty Wich-
ita corporations will meet to protest
against the corporation income tax
law. The lime for filing reports on
the incomes of Kansas corporations

federal courts pass on the constitu-
tionality of the law.

Annapolis, Maryland.—Isador Ray-
ner was named to be United States
senator to succeed himself, by both
houses of the Maryland legislature
The action was ratified in Joint ses-
sion.
EIGHTEEN TEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
MB IB NOW ONB OP THB RICHEST
PARMBRB IN SASKATCHEWAN*
CENTRAL CANADA.
Arriving la Canada la 1IM. Just
eighteen years ace, E. A. OulHomla
could speak bat hla native language.
He la a Frenchman. Ha had but
a little over two dollars la his pocket,
thus being short over seven dollars of
the ton dollars required to secure en-
try for n homestead of one hundred
and sixty acres. He eventually bor-
rowed the money and near Forget,
Saskatchewan, ha started Ilf* In Can-
ada on the homestead la which to-day
he la the fortunate possessor of fifty
quarter sections of land, or 8,000 acres.
Now Mr. Oulllomln did not acquire
all these acres aa a result altogether of
hla fanning operationa, which were
extensive. Ha looked with satisfac-
tion upon what he waa doing on hla
limited area, ha was saving, careful,
and had foresight Surrounding land
could be had for about $3.00 per acre,
and ha continued buying as hla sav-
ings would permit until now he has
fifty quarter sections, soma of which
he can sell at $26.00 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he waa engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 54tt daya. He
threshed out 60,000 bushels of wheat,
of which he aold 34,000 buahela, one
train load, at a price varying from 84
to $7 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 18,000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 30,000 buahela of
oats, 7,000 buahela of barley and 600
bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses
and a number of cattle, but since the
construction of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly In raising wheat
This year he bought hla first thresh-
ing machine, paying for It the sum
of |2,100. He estimates that the ma-
chine earned for him this fall $2,000,
thus paying for itself In one season
and leaving $000 to the good. The
weather waa very propitious for farm
threshing, not a single day being loat
In the two months which were spent
in this work. The wheat averaged 23
bushels to the acre and graded No. 1
and No. 2 Northern. In the past nlna
years seven good crape have been har-
vested on this farm. For six qucqes-
aive years the returns were excellent,
that la In the years 1801, 1902, 1903,
1904, 1906 and 1908. In the two fol-
lowing years thare waa a partial fail-
ure. As the years have passed the
quality of tho buildings on the farm
have been ateadlly improved, and are
now as good as can be found In the
district. About $10,000 has been in-
vested In this way by Mr. Oulllomln.
The farm consists of 6,880 acres, of
which about 6,000 acres were under
crop this season.

Add these to a half pint of good whis-

RALLIED TO THE DEFENSE
Parlor Maid Was Layal, But It la
Doubtful If Explanation Helped
Matters vary Muck.
Walter Lonsdale, Dr. Cook s secre-
tary, was addudag facta In praise of
Dr. Cook.
“And these facts,” he concluded,
“prove my chief's honor; and the oth-
er side’s defease Is as weak aa th*
well-known defease of the parlor
maid.”
Mr. Lonsdale glanced at his lug-
gage packed for Copenhagen. Then he
laughed and resumed:
“ ‘Mary,* said a mistress to her par-
lor maid, ‘what dam did my husband
get home last night?*
“ 'Not UU four, mum,’ the maid an-
swered.
” T thought so,' said the mistress.
‘Here It's evening, and the brute not
up yet!’
“The maid bridled defensively.
•‘•Oh. but. must.' she said, ’he has
been up once, mum; but he just drank
his bath and went back to bed again.’"

cIhe Blood is The r"
Science has never gone beyond the above simple
statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that
statement and given it f meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is “ bad ” or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected*
and many an evil deed or impure thought may be,
directly traced to the impurity of the blood.
Foul, Impure Blood can fie mode pure by the
uae of Dr. Pierce*a Qoldeu Medical Dleeovery,.
It enriches mud purlflea the blood thereby

In the cure of scrofulous swellings, enlarged glands, open eating
ulcers, or old sores, the “ Golden Medical Discovery ” has per-
formed the most marvelous cures. In cases of old sores, or open
eating ulcers, it is well to apply to the open sores Dr. Pierce’s All-
Healing Salve, which possesses wonderful healing potency when
used as an application to the sores in conjunction with the use of
** Golden Medical Discovery” as a blood cleansing constitutional
treatment. If your druggist don’t happen to have the “All-Heal-
ing Salve ” in stock* you can easily procure it by inclosing fifty
cents in postage stamps to Dr. R.V. Pierce, 663 Main St., Buffalo,
N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Most druggists
keep it as well as the “ Golden Medical Discovery.”
. You can’t afford to accept any medicine of mnkmewn composition as a sub-
stitute for Golden Medical Discovery,” which is a medicine or known com-
position, having a complete list of ingredients in plain English oo its bottle-
wrapper, the same being attested as correct under oath.
