• The Chautauqua, which closed last
Tuesday evening, was very successful,
more so than even the most ardent
Supporters of it had anticiapted. M.
W. Gaines of Lincoln, who was the
manager of the local Chautauqua for
the lyoeum bureau, informed a re
porter for the Frontier that it was
the most successful first Chautauqua
that he bad ever heard of as the total
receipts exceeded their most sanguine
expectations. The program during
the entire Chautauqua wai. good, the
One of last Sunday being especially
fine and said by many to have heen
the best of the entire program. Tues
Jay afternoon and night the people
Were regaled with some splendid
music by one of the best bands in the
oeuntry and the music was so good
that it was enjoyed by those who are
not devotees of music. The matter
of a Chautauqua will be taken up at
the next meeting of the Commercial
Club when the matter will probably
be decided.
Arthur Ryan, secretary of the Race
Meet association, returned Tuesday
bight from West Point where he had
•pent two days interviewing owners
Of harness horses with a view to
getting them to enter their horses in
the local meet. The mission was not
very successful as many of the horses
that have been on the circut are going
to Iowa and Kansas after the con
clusion of the West Point meeting.
The management of the race meet at
Nellgh have also been unable to secure
< sufficient horses to fill their harness
races and the management of the
meet .there and here decided to out
out the harness races an have a run
ning meet, which will be attended by
between 60 and 100 of the fastest run
ning horses In the west. This Is the
first exclusive running meet ever held
In this seotion of the state and the
jnanagement of the local meet are be
ing congratulated upon all sides by
the people of this section for having a
strictly running meet Instead of the
harness races. In addition to the
races there will be ball games for the

D. S. Farnsworth, one of the pioneer
residents of Verdigris township, was
a caller last Thursday and had 'his
name enrolled upon the Frontier’s
rapidly increasing list of readers. Mr.
Farnsworth informed us that on
August 4, accompanied by Mrs. Farns
worth, they will leave for an extended
trip among their native Pennsylvania
hills and visit scenes of their childhood
and friends and relatives of bygone
days. On August 21, near Pittsburg,
they will attend the amfbal reunion
of the Kiester family, being present
at the unveiling of a momument to
their great ancestor George Kiester,
who served under General George
Washington during the revolutionary
war. His estate, still the property of
the Ktesters, was purchased direct
from William Penn, it being part of
the Penn grant from the English
government. In the archicves of
family history are many thrilling
tales of this sturdy pioneer and the
older of his decendants, how part of
the men with loaded guns stood guard
to protect from savage Indians, while
others planted or gathered thelrcrops.
Sometimes all had to fly to the
historic block house at Pittsburg for
safety, and when they dared return ty
their home found home and crop des
troyed and cattle driven away by the
marauding Indians. Each year the
gathering of the Kiester clan in
creases in size, coming from Maine,
Canada, the Pacific coast and New
Orleans. A history of this family is
being prepared for early publication,
and when completed a copy will be
one of the treasured possessions of Mr.
and Mrs. Farnsworth.

CURIOUS FISHING.
Gathering In Eels With Brushes and
Shrimping on Horseback.
In the Hawaiian Islands some of the
^native fishermen literally go Into the
water and chase the fish Into their
neft.
The* sea round the shores of the Is
lands Is studded with coral reefs, In
which are numerous holes and tiny
caves In which the fish hide. The na
tives row out over there reefs, taking
with them a brush about three feet In
length, with very long bristles, and
shallow nets, somewhat resembling a
paper bag, as they are closed at one
end.
As they row over the'surface. seeking
a likely spot they chew a’ very oily
fruit known as the candle nut When
they consider they have reached a good
fishing, ground they spit out this nut,
which forms a thin film on the top of
the water, over which the wind passes
without leaving a ripple. This enables
them to see right down Into the clear
sea, and if they are satisfied with the
outlook they, prepare to fish.
Taking the brush in one hand and
the net. the mouth of which is propped
open by meafas of a twig or two in the
other, they dive noiselessly and quietly
overboard. Having arrived at the face
of the coral reef, they literally brush
the frightened nsh out of their dens,
endeavoring to catch them in the net
as they dart away. —
There is one place at least on the
coast of Belgium where they go
shrimping on horseback. The trawling
nets are attached to the sides of sad
dles carried by horses or big donkeys,
and on their back men. and women,
too, for that matter, ride into the sea
until the animals are almost under wa
ter. when they drag the trawls behind
them, walking parallel to the shore.—
Stray Stories.
Left Handed Stone Slingers.
The right hand doubtless owes some
thing of its prominence to the Bible.
The Hebrews singled It out for special
honor, and the Scriptures contain quite
a hundred references in which “the
right hand” is made the type and sym
bol of everything noble, praiseworthy
and desirable. It is worth- noting, how
ever, that the tribe of Benjamin once
boasted 700 left handed slingers who
“could sling stones to a hair’s breadth
and not miss” and that among the
“mighty men and helpers” of King
David were many who “could use both
the right hand and the left in hurling
stones and shooting arrows with the
bow.’’—London Standard.
Plain and Painful Talk.
During a senatorial investigation one
time Senator Clapp experienced great
difficulty in getting some information
from a nervous witness.
“Now,” said the senator somewhat
sharply, “out with it my man; out
with it!"
"If the committee will excuse me,”
said the lawyer representing the wit
ness, ”1 do not like the term ’Out with
it!* This is not the office of a denttat”

STUDY YOUR NOSE
i f
It Is a Most Wonderful Organ and
a Really Fine Furnace.
ACTS AS A PERFECT FILTER.
This facial Ornament Strains, Heats
and Moistens All Air Drawn Through
It Into the Lungs—Its Delicate Nerves
and Microbe Catching Mucus.
Ordinarily we regard our own or an
other person's nose fpom the stand
point of personal beauty. If the organ
is a becoming one it wins our admira
tion, and unless occasion arises we
give it no further thought A delicious
or a repugnant odor reminds us at
times that we possess u sense ot smell,
and a cold in the bead is apt to maUe
us wish that there was no sudb thing
as a nose.
Beyond these points, however, we
really penetrate, and as a rule tve fail
to fully realize what an important part
of the human anatomy is this most
prominent feature of the face.
No stove or furnace that ever was
made by man can equal in efficiency
the human nose, for the nose, in the
space of three inches and in two sec
onds . of time, can raise the tempera
ture of the air It draws in nearly fifty
degrees and at the same time saturate
It with moisture and thoroughly puri
fy it
The nose Is really one of the most
extraordinary organs of ,the body. Its
nerves are more sensitive than those
of Angers or ears or eyes, for they can
perceive distinctly an almost incredi
bly minute amount of a gas so subtle
that Its presence can be detected in no
other way. . It is also a perfect Alter
and thus the most important guardian
of the body against disease.
Ail air that Is breathed into the
lungs should be at a temperature of
nearly 90 degrees F. It should also be
moist, even wet. Cold, dry air is Ane
for tbe outside of the body, but has no
place in Its interior. In heating the air
the nose works on the principle of a
steam coll. It is not merely two tubes
leading up into the head and so down
to the throat, but from the bones on
either side three twisted bones curl
out into the passage, one above the
other, each coated with elastic cush
ions of blood vessels and tiny glands.
These form coils with a great, hot,
damp surface, over which the air
spreads as it is drawn up. Thus is
the air warmed for its entrance to the
lungs.
A furnace maker told the present
writer that any man who could invent
an efficient apparatus for mixing
moisture with air in its passage
through a hot air furnace could make
a fortune, as every device now in use
Is only a makeshift and of very lit
tle real value. The Almighty Maker
of the human—and the animal—nose
solved the problem. The entire sur
face of the inside of the nose is com-__
posed of a membrane that pours forth
a Auid called mucus. This is composed
largely of salt water, which Is taken
up by the passing air until this is sat
urated before it reaches the throat
This mucus Is also a microbe catcher
and a dust catcher. Almost all the
dirt and germs of disease that enter
with the air through the nostrils are
trapped by the mucus. The living en
emies are killed, for the mucus is anti
septic and germicidal. • Thus the air is
heated, moistened and purlAed before
it reaches the lungs.
Air breathed in through the mouth is
not warmed, moistened or puriAed ex
cept to a very slight extent. Conse
