Pester House Clerk About Ancestors
BUSY DAY
JOH-N
COURTS
WASHINGTON.—Sir John Courts,
Bart, K. C. M. 0, K. O. C., C. B.,
who, as plain James c. Courts serves
the United States government In the
responsible position of clerk of the
House committee on appropriations,
has his troubles just like other folks.
I eople are all the time pestering htm
to death to know if It was his grand-
father or his great-grandfather or his
great-great-grandfather who used to
own about 20,000 acres in Maryand
and who presided over the feudal glo-
ries of Clean Drinking Manor. And
*very time he gets through with one
•of these historic bugs and settles
down to work a delegation of home
folks from Tennessee drops In on him
and demands to know why he accept-
ed from the Emperor of Korea—be-
fore that eminent personage was sat
upon by the Japanese—the military
order of the Setting Moon, third class
and wears the undress button that
goes with It all the time.
But even these annoying things pale
Into Insignificance beside an Incident
that happened Just the other day. Mr.
Courts has his nose in a chaotic appro-
priation bill and was dictating to four
adding machines all at once when a
straight-backed, straight-nosed, white-
mustached, white-haired and extreme-
ly dignified old gentleman marched in-
to the committee room. He was look-
ing for his member and as the mem-
ber wasn't on hand, had turned around [
to go out again, when he caught sight
of Mr. Courts.
There was a moment of tenseness
and of pause—a hiatus In other words.
And then the old gentleman advanced
and cast himself—a perfertly dignified
cast—on Mr. Courts' bosom, clutched
Mr. Courts' hand, patted Mr. Courts'
shoulder and gazed into Mr. Courts'
eyes. And as a dozen or so members
of the appropriations committee gath-
ered around the old gentleman ex-
ploded his bomb.
"Captain," he said to Mr. Courts.
"I am moah than happy to meet you
again. I consider this the happiest
day of my life, my dear comrade in
arms. Well I remember the days
when, side by side, lr.ee to knee, we
followed the fortunes of that flower of
chivalry, that moat dashing of cav-
alry leaders, our Idolized chieftain,
Gen. j. E. B. Stuart."
Of course it was a ease of mistaken
identity.
FOR OLD PEOPLE.
After reaching the age of forty the
human system gradually declines. The
accumulated poisons In the tylood
cause rheumatic pains in the Joints,
muscles aiul back. These warnings
should be promptly relieved and seri-
| nut. Illness avoided by using tho fol-
•owing proscription which shows won-
ierful results even after tho first few
doses and it will eventually restore
| physical strength.
"Ono ounce compound syrup of
Sarsaparilla; one ounce Torls corn-
] oound; half pint of high grade whis-
key. This to be mixed and used In
tablespoonful doses before each meal
nd at bedtime. The bottle to be well
shaken each time." Any druggist has
these ingredients or can get them
from his wholesale house.
In a London Omnibus.
A London 'bus driver was hailed by
a clerical-looking old gentleman, and
on the first opportunity ho remarked
to the conductor: "Do you know who
you've got inside, Bill? It's Cardinal
Mannln1!" "Go on, that ain't Car-
dinal Mannin'." said the conductor, "I
know "im." Thev argued further, and
finally bet a shilling over it. When
collecting fares the conductor deter-
mined to set matters right by direct
Inquiry. "Excuse me, sir, but are you
Cardinal Mannln'?" The venernble
passenger looked him coldly and bold-
ly In the eye, and nnswered: "What
the ilevil has that got to do with you?"
The conductor was satisfied, but even
at tho sacrifice of a bob he had to get
even with the passenger. Putting his
head out of the door he called up to
the driver: "You are right. Bill; it
was 'is 'oliness."
THE DIFFERENCE.
Logged, Burned a nd Grazed Slope.
Old General Got No Aid from His Aide
GEN. Luke E. Wright, told at a din-
ner in Washington a war story
from Manila.
"There was once upon a time," he
began, "a gallant old general. This
general, leading a splendid charge in
his youth, got a bullet in his chest and
two sabre cuts across the head. In
after life, relating over the nuts and
wine his many battles, it was this
particular charge that he always de-
•cribed most flamboyantly.
"The older the general grew the
•more splendid the charge became; the
more awful was the slaughter that
lie visited upon the enemy; the more
horrible were the wounds that he re-
ceived. For corroboration he would
always turn to a grizzled veteran on
his left, his aide-de-camp. The aide-
-de-camp would nod his gray head in
acquiescence silently.
"Taller and taller grew the gen-
eral's stories of the charge. Higher
and higher grew the mound o< ene-
mies slain by his sword. More and
more numerous became the bullets,
thrusts and slashes sustained by him-
self. At the end he always appealed
to the grizzled aid; and In silenc#
the aid nodded confirmation.
"The general one night gave a large
dinner party. The wine was no less
abundant than superb, and at dessert
the old warrior let himself out upon
the charge as he had never heretofore
done. Four horses were killed under
him. Three lances passed through his
right arm, five through his left. Nine
sabres crashed down upon nis
head simultaneously. The bodies of
his slain formed a wall wellnigh im-
passable about him. And It seemed
that there was hardly a muscle In his
person wherein a bullet failed to iiu-
bed itself.
" 'You remember all this, don't you,
De Courcey?' he said, in conclusion.
. "The silent and long suffering aid
at last spoke up.
" 'No, general,' he shouted, in a loud,
indignant voice. 'No. of course I dont
remember it. How can you expect me
to? You know as well as I do that
the cannon ball that killed your fourth
horse struck the breastplate of a
cuirassier behind us and then bounded
back and took my head oft!'"
STOCKMEN throughout the
west will be gratified to learn
that Uncle Sam Is studylsg
mean3 for using sheep to re-
generate overgrazed ranges
Unique experiments now be-
ing conducted by the United States
forest service at the experiment sta
tion within the Wallowa national for
est, in northeastern Oregon demon
strate that the grazing of sheep un-
der proper restrictions is an Impor-
tant factor in the work of reseeding
overgrazed ranges.
The problem being studied Is that
of restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering of mountain bunch
grass, the scientific name of which Is
Festuca viridula. This grass, is one
of the most important of the summer
forage plants in the higher ranges of
the northwest and Its rapid disap
pearance from the ranges by reason
of overstocking could only be regard
ed as a direct economic loss to the
stockmen. Special attention has
therefore been given to the restora-
tion of the grass by the plant ecolo
gist of the forest service and his lat-
est report shows that a thorough re-
seeding has been secured upon the
areas to which a protective grazing
system has been applied.
In the initial stages three different
methods of reseeding were used Upon
one area the seed was alloweo to
of bunch grass can be secured where
the sheep are allowed on an area
after the plants ha<e seeded and
dropped the seed than where they
are excluded throughout the entire
season. This discovery is a confirma-
tion of the practicability of the plan
to use ranges during alternate spring
and fall periods so that a thorough
reseeding may be secured by natural
means
The stockmen grazing their cattle
on the national forests in the south
west, esptcially in Colorado and New
Mexico, have suffered serious losses
during the present summer through
the cattle eating oak leaves.
In that section of the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To eke out
the scanty forage supply the cattle
have browsed heavily on the scrub
oak which covers large portions of
the range. Ordinarily the stock does
■not browse on the oak and the little
they do get, taken with the other
food, is not injurious, but when, as
In the present season, the oak browse
furnishes a large proportion of the
daily food of the cattle the results are
serious
The oak leaves and sprouts contain
a large percentage of tannic acid. The
action of this acid on the stomach Is
extremely Injurious and the losses
have been unusually severe. The
Plans Homegoing of Irishmen in 1910
FIFTEEN years ago Francis J. Kil-
kenny arrived in thi.i country from
Ireland. He was so green that he
mistook a Fourth of July celebration
as a reception to himself. Yourg Kil-
kenny had relatives and friends in
Milwaukee and Chicago and he made
for the middle west soon after his
landing. He had a fund of native wit
and an abundance of energy and
pluck. He got a job cutting grass and
soon came under the notice of Charles
G. Dawes. When Mr. Dawes came to
Washington as controller of the cur-
rency he brought Kilkenny along as
his private secretary. When Dawes
retired from the controllership his
successor found he couldn't get along
without Kilkenny. Mr. Ridgely was
succeeded as controller by Lawrence
O. Murray and that official has re-
tained Kilkenny who has now be-
come one of the institutions of the
treasury department.
Young Kilkenny is making remark-
able headway with a movement for
the "home-going" of Irishmen In 1910.
The plan Is to induce the Irish people
from all over the United States to re-
turn to their native land during July,
August and September.
An Ever Ready Opening.
The editor suddenly became con-
scious that some one was standing be-
hind him. I/ooking round, his glance
fell upon a seedy looking individual
with the eyes of a crank.
"I bog your pardon," said the new-
comer, "but is there an opening here
for a first-class Intellectual writer?"
"Yes," grimly responded the editor.
"An Ingenious carpenter, foreseeing
your vis!'., has provided an excellent
opening. Turn the knob t,o the right,
and do not Blam the door as you go
out."—Th<! Sunday Magazine.
"As there has been a change in out

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.

—Scratchad Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure In Cutlcura.
"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After ho suffered with
the trouble several weeks I took him
to the doctor but It got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anythlug but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till th
blood would run. The itching was in-
te.ise. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But I found a remedy
In Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag-
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight-
est Bymp.om of it since he was cured.

Chautauqua Salute, Menace to Health
DR. WILLIAM C. WOODWARD,
health officer of the District of
Columbia, is in favor of abolishing the
only form of athletics Indulged in by
members and graduates of the Chau-
tauqua literature and reading circle.
He says that the Chautauqua salute Is
a menace to health.
The salute, as all Chautauquans
know, is a waving of the hundkerchler
when friends make a hit on the lec-
ture platform or sail away for distaut
lands. Everybody waves and every
oody is happy provided that one does
not overtax his or her energy.
"Tho custom of waving a handlter-
thlef vigorously in tho air," says Dr
Woodward, "is dangerous. Nearly ev-
iry contagious disease can be com
aiunlcated in this manner, if the hand-
kerchief Is slightly soiled. If the lin-
en square has just been purchased, or
has come straight from the laundry,
there is not the slightest danger, but
the waving of a handkerchief that has
been used even once is harmful.
"When a handkerchief is waved tho
wind blows the germs from it. Ty-
phoid fever, scarlet fever, tuberculos-
is, smallpox and chlckenpox, measles,
leprosy and diphtheria may be thus
spread."
The Chautauqua saluters criticised
the health officer's remarks.
"Dr. Woodward does not know what
he is talking about," said a young wo-
man. "We never carry soiled hand-
kerchiefs."

8'ieep Grazing on an Inferior Range.
German Proverb.
Mildness governs better than
ger.
drop to the ground without treatment.
The seed was brushed In with a brush
drag or harrow on the second tract
and upon the third a band of sheep
was passed over the area In a com-
pact body twice. This summer it has
been found that the area not treated
has the lightest stand of seedlings,
while the resulting Beedllng stand on
the other two areas showed but little
variation in density, but later, during
the period of drought, the seedlings
on the area brushed over died out
nadly. while on the area upon which
the Bbeep harrowed in the teed there
was very little loss
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root systems of the seed
winch n J been tramped In were one-
half to one Inch deeper in the soil
than the root systems of the seed
which had been brushed In. this con
dIt Ion being due to the fact that the
seed was g o und into the soil more
deeply by the sheep than by the
bruBh harrow
So far as the Investigation has
been carried it Indicates that a dens-
er and more drnught-resistant stand
symptoms of the disease are staring
eyes, feverish and blistered lips and
nose, the animal ceases to graze or
seek for food, and the hair Is all
turned the wrong way, as In case ol
loco poisoning. The animal doeB not
chew Its cud and In a comparatively
short time it becomes too weak to re-
main on its feet and death rapidly
follows.
So far as is known the only avail-
able remedy for this trouble Ib lin-
seed oil given as a drench In amounts
from one to two quarts. The oil ap
pears to overcome the injurious ef
lects of the tannic acid and If the dls
ease Is not advanced too far and the
animal can be furnished sufficient
food so it will not be forced to eat
the oak It will generally recover.
There are emergencies In which
the'government must depart f.om
usual policy of conserving the timber,
and disposing of it by well regulated
sales. It Is some times necessary to
destroy bodies of timber of consider-
able extent, or at least to cut the
trees and leave the logs lying In the
woods, where they may, or may not,
become useful before decay sets in
