HOLD FUNERAL IN A TENT.
Big Canvas Put to Many Strang* XTsea
—Serves as Church to
Mourners.
tn Kendall county, 111., there Is a big
canvas tent that has been made to serve
for an odd mixture of purposes. For
many years it covered a regulation saw
dust ring in which there were all kinda
of performances by man and beast. Oa
other occasions it was made use of for
revivals, and has been hauled around
the country from place to place for
many purposes. This year Aurora
bloomed out as a Chautauqua town, and
the tent sheltered big audiences intent
on hearing lectures, recitations, and
speeches from well-known talkers.
Music of all kinds has at odd times filled
the big inclosure. However, the oddest
purpose to which It was ever put came
when Nels O. Cassem, a well-know*
Kendall county man, fell from his
wagon as he was driving along the pub
lic highway and broke his neck. Caa
sem was a well-known character, *
farmer who in all of that section was
known as the “king of the Norwegians.”
He was known to be worth several hun
dred thousand dollars In valuable lands,
and the funeral promised to be larger
than any church in Yotkvllle or Aurora
would hold. One of the sons resorted to
a unique expedient. He hired the big
tent and stretched It out ou one of the
beautiful meadows over which his fa
ther bad roamed for so many years, and
tbe funeral sermon was thus preached
under canvas.
PAPER TRADE IN TURKEY.
In 1903 $400,000 Worth of the Ar
ticle for Making Cigarettes
Was Imported.
In the year 1903 Turkey In Europ#
Imported paper and cardboard to the
value of about $500,000 and cigarette pa
per to the value of $400,000. Austria and
Italy were the chief sources of supply.
The German consul at Saloniki says
large quauuuca ui au ouiuo *
including wall paper, enter that port for
distribution throughout Turkey. This
paper trade is in Austrian hands. Dif
ferent manufacturers in Austria com
bine in sending out commercial travel
ers to Turkey, one traveler showing the
products of several Austrian paper
mills. The German consul general at
Constantinople, in a report to his gov
ernment, says that Turkey is one of
England’s best markets for cotton yarns
and cotton piece goods, taking in 1903
nearly $2,500,000 worth of cotton yarns
and $15,700,000 worth of cotton piece
goods. Within the last few years Italy
has greatly increased her exports of cot
ton textiles to Turkey and is becoming
a strong competitor of England in that
market. If American manufacturers of
cotton goods were to give energetic and
Intelligent attention to the Turkish mar
ket, they would probably find it a good
one.
TORTOISE FIGHT IS FUNNY
Battle Between Shell-Covered An
imals May Continue a Long Time
Without Injury to Either.
“Listen,” said the farmer, leaning on
his hoe. From the next field came a
sound of rapping, a sound as of sharp
inocks on a door. “What is that?” said
the city man. “A tortoise fight,” the
farmer answered. “We’ll go and see it."
They made their way toward the rap
ping sound, relates the Baltimore Her
ald, and in a little while they came upon
two box tortoises that were fighting
hard. The creatures fought in a strange
way. They made at one another with
their heads protruded, but, at the mo
ment of collision, each tried to use his
ront flap for a shield, and the result of
this prudence was that not the heads but
inly the shells of the tortoises hurtled
ogether. There was a bang. Then the
lghters backed oft and prepared for an
ither round. The two men watched
hem till the spectacle became weari
some. Then they returned to the pota
to patch.
BLIND GIRLS GOOD WIVES.
Official of Chicago Association De
clares Sightless Maids Are
Ideal Helpmeets.
Mrs. Lena Osborn, chairman of the
lady board of managers of the Social and
Mutual Advancement Association of the
Blind in Chicago, a free organization, is
a blind woman herself. She says that
the life of a blind person is not the
great misery that it is generally
thought by seeing people, and it is the
purpose of the organization to show that
aven blind people may have a happy
time of it. Mrs. Osborn says:
“If men knew what ideal wives blind
girls make the blind girls would soon
be all taken. I can cook, sew, darn, and
do almost anything except to venture
tor from the house. I can write the or
dinary handwriting from the memory
aft the letters I was taught 40 years ago
in the public schools. We become so
sharp in our observation that we can
almost describe the appearance of the
person we address.”
Bad Effects of “Bushing.”
Prof. Thomas Oliver, addressing the
industrial hygiene section of the sani
tary congress in Glasgow, said the sys
tem of “rushing” work introduced into
Britain from America not only caused
unwholesome fatigue and many acci
dents, but “predisposed the individual
to ill health and created a taste for stim
ulants, unhealthful recreation and love
of excitement such as was offered by
theaters and music halls.”

Mr. Michael Doran, employed by the

writes: “I want to say for the benefit
of iny fellowmen that I have been suf
fering for a long time with acute
Rheumatism In my knees. I had tried
every kind of remedy, including an
expensive course of electrical treat
ment, but all of no avail. One day at
the suggestion of my druggist I took
a bottle of Paracamph to try. The
effect of Its use was magical. I got
relief at once, and after using three
or four bottles I believe I am perma
nently cured. It Is certainly a won
derful remedy, and upon my advice
a number of friends have tried Para
camph, and the verdict Is unanimous
that it will do all that is claimed for
it” Don’t suffer from Rheumatism,

Paracamph. It has cured others and
will cure you. Your druggist .will sell
it to you on a” guarantee of satisfaction
or money refunded. No cure, no pay.

Pain in the
Head
Is a danger signal, warning
you that the brain nerves are
exhausted—irritated, and are
undergoing an unnatural strain.
Frequent and prolonged at
tacks of pain weaken the gen
erative power of the nerve
cells of the brain, and lead to
loss of memory, melancholy,
spasms, epilepsy, and frequent
ly insanity.
When the brain nerves are
weakened they are unable to
supply sufficient nerve force
to the nerves that control the
lungs, heart, stomach and
other organs, and these organs
are thus robbed of energy, and
unable to meet the demands
upon them,and they get sick.
Stop the head pains with Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills, and the
influence upon your general
health will be greater than you
can realize.
"I want to toll you how thankful I
am for Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pjlls.
From a child I have been subject to
sick headache, and never found any
lasting relief until I received a sample
of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills while in
Geneva six years ago. By taking one
it usually throws off my pain, so I
can go about my home duties.”
