Card of Thanks.
1 wish through the News to thank
my nceighbors for the many kindnesses
shown us in administering to our needs
since we have been left without hus
band and father. We want to express
our sincere appreciation, ami want the
readers of the N i ws to know that the
people around Menlo and Alpine do
not folpet those who are in need, nor
neglect the fatherless children.
To mention all the favors shown us
would require perhaps too much space,
but I want these good people to know
that their maun charitable acts of kind
ness are not forgotten, but arc remem
bered by me and my helpless and des.
titule family, ami also by Him who
wa'ehes over the destinies of His hum
blest creatures. Tho school teachers,
the ministers, the farmers and mer
chants have all been exceedingly kind
and ever ready to extend practical help
ami sympathy at a time when the way j
seemed daik and almost hopeless*. To,
each and all of these we extend our
simere thanks, and will pray that ■
Heaven’s richest and best blessings
will abide with them always.

It must be a great satisfaction to a i

As spring draweth nigh the thoughts
of most women turn towards the culti

they came up an hour afterwards, but

Want them to. I found it. my painful
duty to relieve one of this burdensome •
life, a few days ago. Then 1 sneaked '
her up to a far corner in the garden j
and was very vigorously digging aj
hole, through which she was to mys-,
teriously disappear. My next door ’
neighbor came up on the other side of
the fence and said: “Say, what are
you burying?” I innocently ans
wered: “Oh! just some Hower seed.”
“Well, it looks very much like one of
my old hens to me!” “Ob! that’s all
right, the (lower seed are safe inside.”
I chucked the old hen in the hole and
raked the dirt over her, when that was
done, I turned around to discuss the
weather, but my neighbor was gone.

When Pa Comes Home.
My pa don’t come, home ev’ry day
To lunch with ma an me;
He’s jest an awful busy man,
An’ so he can’t, you see.
He says if he has time he “jest
Steps out an’ gets a bite.”
Or else he “goes without a thing”
Till he comes home at night!
But when the front gate goes slam bang
Then Towse he pricks his ears,
An’ runs an’ hides, an’ ev’ryone
Is all put out, it ’pears;
An’ ma she shrieks, “Oh, sakes alive
Things come all in a bunch!
Run, Ted, tell Kate to fry some eggs:
Your pa’s come home to luuch!”
And then there’s such a goin’ on !
An’ pa says, with a frown,
“If this is all you’ve got for lunch,
I’d better stayed downtown!”
An’ ma, she says, “Ted leave the room,
You sit and crunch, and crunch!
Why can’t you be a good boy when
Your pa comes home to lunch?”.
An’ pa, he’s awful gruff an’ cross,
An’ma she’s crosser yet;
An' Kate she’s crosses! of ’em all.
An’ tells me what I’ll get
If I dont stop a-makin noise.
Or get out of her way;
An’, say, I’m awful glad my pa
Dont come home ev’ry day!

1 need your smiles to cheer me
When clouds shut out the sky;
I need your arms around me
When chilling blasts howl by!
With you at hand to love me
When all is gloomy here
The cold days and the cloudy
Would cease to fret me, dear.

I’ll wed no fair-day lover,
Who, when the sky is clear,
Smiles plea-antly upon me
And holds me near and dear,
But who, when clouds hang over,
Sighs “Oh!” “Alas!” “Alack!”
1 want a man whose liver
Is never out of whack.

Typewriter* and the Blind.
“Yon will often hear people say that
the typewriter is a great boon to the
blind.” remarked a gentleman who
knows a good deal about the business,
“and so it is in a certain sense of the
word. It is comparatively easy for a
blind person of average intelligence to
learn the lay of the keys, for, as a mat
ter of fact the ordinary operator never
I >oks at t.: : i anyhow, and after that a
great vista of amusement and useful
ness opens up.
“The sightless operator can beguile
the darkness by keeping an elaborate
diary or by writing a book or engaging j
in lots of correspondence—in fact, there I
are a hundred and one ways in which [
the writing machine makes life brighter
and more cheerful for such unfortu
nates. But, oddly enough, all these ad
vantages are to a considerable extent
offset by a little bit of a stubborn fact
which was overlooked by the original
enthusiasts. I refer to the hardening of
the finger tips, which forms one of the I
inevitable and unavoidable results of I
working on any machine.
“Now, the finger tips are tho eyes of
the blind and anything that effects
their exquisite sensitiveness is a disas
ter. If the skin becomes the least cal- i
lons, it is impossible to read the raised
letter books, so most of the blind folks !
who had been hammering away on type
writers and getting a great deal of fun 1
out of them were obliged to stop. 1
heard the other day that somebody had
devised a new system which was sup
posed to cover tho difficulty. The idea
was to use only two fingers on the ma
chine, reserving the others for book
reading and the ordinary affairs of
life.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat
She Ate Anta.
A young girl from the East Indian
islands, after having traveled many
thousands of miles through storm and
stress, reached American shores. She
was a sickly looking girl, and the phy
sicians who took her in charge soon
after her arrival decided that she was
suffering from an aggravated case of
stomach trouble.
Her symptoms were the most peculiar
they had ever come across in the course
of their wide experience, however, and
it required much study and many con
sultations to trace the deplorable effects
back to their cause. Finally they learned
that the girl’s disordered digestion was
brought about by eating too freely of
white ants.
These ants are an important article
of food in some portions of the East In
dies. The natives skim them off the top
of the water, where they lie like a coat
of thick cream, and parch them in little
iron pots. After being parched some of
them are made into a drink, like coffee;
others are ground into flour and mixed
into bread, while still others are eaten
like popcorn.
But too much of an ant diet is bad
for the system, and that little girl from
the Indies had to swallow a small drug
store of American antidotes to bring
back her health.
Too Democratic.
“In the senate restaurant,” says the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Record, “pie costs 10 cents, and
the waiters levy a tip tax equal to 50
per cent of the cost of the food con
sumed. Cigars are sold two for a quar
ter and upward, and it is regarded as
an evidence of low breeding to accept
change.
“Into this aristocratic environment
came one day Associate Justice John
M. Harlan of the United States supreme
court. With all the impressiveness of
his 6 feet 5 inches and his two hundred
and odd pounds weight, he walked upto
tho cigar counter and laid down a bright
new dime. Then in that deep, full
voice, which his son and namesake in
Chicago has found such a valuable
legacy he said, ‘Give mo a mild 5 cent
cigar. 1
“Whereupon a poor committee clerk,
who had just exchanged his last quar
ter for two cabbagios, went away to
ponder on the democracy of American
institutions. ”
Peculiar Toys.
Most mothers, if they were asked,
could tell of the love shown by their
children for various articles to be found
about the house and certainly never
intended as toys for children. One child
will take a violent love for her mother’s
curling irons; another will pin his affec
tions to the metal pudding mold or the
feather duster As a rule, when the
child is discovered with either of these
possessions, it is promptly taken away
from him, and then follows either keen
disappointment or tears and howls, ac
cording to the nature of the child
Now, why should not such an article
te bought specially for him as a toy if
: the possession would give so much
pleasure ? It would not cost more than
an ordinary toy and in many cases
would be more valued. —New York

Needed No Advice.
Nothing galls the natural pride of
the true blue Scotchman more than to
j have Scotland overlooked. A striking
instance of this feeling is said to have
occurred at the battle of Trafalgar
Two Scotchmen, messmates and bosom
cronies, happened to be stationed near
each other when the celebrated signal
was given from Admiral Nelson's ship.
"England expects every man to do his
duty. ”
“Not a word about poor Scotland.’
dolefully remarked Donald.
His friend cocked his eye and, turn
ing to his companion, said “Man, Don
ald. Scotland kens w-»el eneuch that
nae son o’ hers needs to be tell’t to dae
bis duty That’s just a hint to the Eng
lishers. ’

To neJect to purify the blood at. this

unable to withstand the many ailments which are so

says: “ I was afflicted for a long time with pimples, which
were very annoying, as they disfigured my face fearfully.
