It is as far ahead of its predeces
sor as the first automatic was in ad
vance of its competitors I now call
jour attention to a few prominent
features of this machine
THE REVERSIBLE WRINGER
whereby clothes becoming entangled
in the rolls can be readily extracted
A simple movement of the small lev
er attached to the wringer frame will
either start stop or reverse the
wringer at will
THE LOCATION OF THE MOTOR
and gearing in the center of a sub
stantial platform beneath the tub pro
vides the best possible protection
from splashing or dipping water and
makes the neatest arrangement of
machinery to be obtained This is
an exclusive advantage of the auto

WEST POINT UNIFORMS
Cadets Must Sacrifice Comfort For the
Sake of Looks
It is true said a retired army offi
cer in a discussion of West Pointers
with the Washington Herald that
many West Pointers acquire a figure
of perfection of symmetry and a car
riage the acme of mauly grace but
these are due not to any ingenious ap
pliances but to the systematic drills
and exorcises that make the cadet to
a certain extent an athlete At the
outset these young fellows are put
through what are called the betting
up exercises their object being to
straighten the body and develop the
chest One might suppose that it would
require a great amount of such exer
cise to make any marked showing but
three long hours of such exercise daily
will soon produce beneficial results in
the most stooped forms
The cadet uniform is also a great
help in this direction The dress coat
is tight very tight The shoulders are
heavily padded in order to give them
a square effect The chest is made
thick so that there will be no danger
of wrinkling And in size a new dress
coat seems always to be designed for
a boy several times smaller than the
one who is to wear it A new dress
coat in fact Is always a source of
suffering to its owner When he first
puts it on it buttons readily about the
neck but seems to lack about six
inches at the waist The owner may
squirm and wriggle and attempt to re
duce his waist to a minimum circum
ference but his maiden efforts are
never sufficient to button the new dress
coat Experience Is a great teacher
though and the young fellow laugh
ingly requests one or two of his friends
to lend their assistance and he finally
succeeds in buttoning the coat All
this for the sake of looks Comfort has
no place in the makeup of a West
Pointer its discipline and looks
WATCHED OVER BY SATAN
Superstitions That Twine About tho
Mandrake Plant
The little plant the mandrake has a
wealth of tradition centering round it
such as is seldom found in floral lore
Quite an insignificant little plant with
a spindle shaped root often divided
into two or three forks and rudely re
sembling the human form It is doubts
less from this latter fact that it has
derived Its name Langhorne in the
latter part of tho eighteenth century
tells us to
Mark how the rooted mandrake wears
His human feet his human hands
while It was once believed that a per
son pulling up a mandrake would in
stantly fall dead This was said to
be because the mandrake had a human
heart at Its root and when pulled it
would scream in such a fearsome man
ner as to terrify the hearer to death or
else Induce madness Shakespeare
alludes to this where he says
And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of
the eatth
That living mortals hearing- them run
mad
And again In King Henry VII
where Suffolk asked by Queen Mar
garet whether he has not spirit to
curse his enemies replies
Would curses kill as doth the mandrakes
groan
1 would invent as bitter searching terms
As curst as harsh as horrible to hear
From time immemorial the man

anniversaries i n
the republic the
chief event being
the celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of her freedom from Span
ish rule This comes on the lUth of
the month for it was on Sept 13 1S10
that the independence of Mexico was
formally established
On the 8th is celebrated the Spanish
national holiday commemorating the
glorious old eighth century victory over
the Moors at Coradonga On the same
day falls the anniversary of the de
fense of Chapultepec in the war with
the United States in 1S47 on which
day of late years it has been the cus
tom of American school children to
march out and lay flowers on the
graves of the cadets who died there in
defense of their country On the loth
by an equal coincidence come tho
birthday of General Diaz and the an
niversary of the grito at Dolores
which precedes the main celebration
on the 10th
The conduct of this patriotic cele
bration In the City of Mexico is such
as might well be Imitated elsewhere
There are no private fireworks or ob
trusive private demonstrations of any
kind On the evening of the loth the
population of the city and surrounding
country gather in the plaza or great
square the masses upon the ground
the select in surrounding balconies
At 10 oclock the darkened square is
crowded with the good humored wait

The Old Settlers Picnic
After a season of cloudy threaten
ing weather Thursday Sept 15 was
as usual bright beautiful and bracing
as all of the picnic days have been
There was a fine looking crowd pres
ent but not so many as on some other
duch occasions as busy times and
sickness kept many away The pro
gram was not carried out as adver
tised Mr Burress offered prayer and
Mr Howe made a most interesting
and well received speech Mr Cor
deal read a paper on the settling of
the county which was of personal ap
plication to many As some of the
old settler ladies remarked It was
beautiful from a literary standpoint
but O the reality that made such
writing possible While there was
no danger to call for acts of heroic
courage on the part of the women in
those days ENDURANCE spelled
with capitals was the quality needed
A number of candidates were pres
ent and it was not the time or place
for political speaking but little elec
tioneering was done Once a difference
arose between two opponents which
might have amounted to unpleasant
ness but it soon quieted
A letter of greeting to old friends
and as usual booming California
was read from Mrs Byfield Memor
ials were read of those who had pass
ed away during the year
Mr Fitch had a display of curios
gathered in California New Mexico
and Florida
A sumptuous dinner was enjoyed
and every one satisfied particularlj
those who were near enough to be
helped to Mrs Taylors chicken pie
A feeling of sadness came over one
upon observing the absence of those
who generally attended Some have
moved away some have died
Mrs Longnecker as the oldest wo
man settler in point of time has an
old womans whim to wear something
ancient to suit the situation This
time it was a jabot made of most deli
cate French embroidery transferred t
the finest net made of a part of a
dress worn by a reigning belle who
lived and died between 60 and 70
years ago The jabot was held in
place by a brooch 43 years old and
has a local history
While eating dinner Lucy Thomas
swallowed a chicken bone which lod
ged below the throat causing such
suffering she had to be taken to
town to the doctor who dislodged the
bone and enjoined rest and quiet so
she could not return to the picnic
To satisfy those who expected then
the editor of The Tribune must give
a good excuse for non attendance of
self and wife and promise to do bet
ter next year
May Stewart
The Hunchback a romantic com
edy by James Sheridan Knowles at
the Temple theatre Monday night
Sept 26th will be an event that will
undoubtedly attract a large and fash
ionable house There is also sure to
be a desire on the part of the fair
sex to see the gowns worn by Miss
Stewart and company which are
claimed to be the most magnificent
worn by any company touring the
country Miss Stewart will wear two
or three gowns during the evening
valued at more than 100000
The story of The Hunchback is
one of the most beautiful ever writ
ten and the character of Julia the
role which Miss Stewart will portray
is one of the most interesting ever
conceived in any age by any author
Miss Stewart comes heralded as one
of our most promising legitimate wo
men of the east and she has many
opportunities in The Hunchback to
display her dramatic power She is
supported by a very capable comp
any and the event will no doubt at
tract one of the largest crowds of the
season
