Son Took the Wind Out of Dadfs Sails A shrewd old Yankee who had ac cumulated a fortune by strict econ omy, noticed his son had spent car fare to go a few blocks and deemed the expense a foolish one. That eve ning after dinner he called Ills son Into the library, saying he wished to speak with him. “But first,’’ he said, “I will turn down the light; we can talk Just as well in the dark nnd It will save gas.” As he went on ex plaining the value of economy he heard a fumbling nnd shuffling from the direction of his son’s chair. Stop ping his lecture lie inquired: “Sam, what are you doing?” “Father,” came from the darkness, “I can hear just as well without ’em, so while we are sitting here in the dark I’m taking off my trousers to save ’em." For the rest of the evening econom ics were not discussed.—Boston Tran script. Great Statesman Had Genius of Invention Thomas Jefferson, signer of the Dec laration of Independence and third President, of the United States, was of an inventive turn of mind as well as being a fairly good violinist and some thing of a scientist, remarks the De troit News. On one of his tours of Europe he was struck by the bad con struction of the plowB In use by the peasants of France. The moldboard, a device above the share to turn over the earth, he decid ed, required redesigning. He spent the greater part of his leisure time for two years evolving a moldboard that would be most effective. Satisfied, at length, that he had suc ceeded, Jefferson sent a plow equipped with his new device to the Royal Ag riculture Society of the Seine. A medal which the society awarded him —for the plow proved to be all he had hoped for—followed him to New York, and 18 years later, the society sent him a specially made plow con taining his improvement as a token of appreciation for what he had done for agriculture In France. Doll's House for Czar When n young man of twenty-four, Peter the Great of Russia went to Holland. He was working at differ ent Jobs so as to be better fitted to become ruler of Russia. In Utrecht he saw a miniature doll^s house, fur nished down to the minutest detail. In the library wiere paintings two Inches square. Cabinets were filled with thumb-high porcelains from Ja pan. Special carpets were manufac tured for this house, and the linen was woven In Flanders. Peter the Great took n great fancy to this tiny palace and offered any price for one like it. The builder, a retired merchant, would not accept money for his handiwork, but offered to make one as a gift to the young czar. The llllputian mansion, com pleted after 25 years of labor, is now in the royal museum, Amsterdam, says Mentor Magazine. w. C. T. U. NOTES. It has been called to the attention of the W. C. T. U. that several citizens have received scurrilous letters pur porting to be from the W. C. T. U. Such methods are entirely beneath the Union and we disclaim any knowl edge of them. The W. C. T. U. met at the home of Mrs. Uttley, Tuesday, October 7th. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Wm. Hough, Tuesday, October 21st. WM. L. PHILLEY FOR STATE SENATOR Win. L.

Johnson send up a draft for $18,652.76 to pay for bridges and also pay one-fourth of the new Whiting bridge about $10,000.00 saving the taxpayers of this county almost $30,000.00 and there was about $25,000.00 of Holt county’s road fund given to a favorite contractor for which the county got nothing that has never been explained that will be in vestigated and not whitewashed if Robertson is elected.
