Now honest boys what do you think of a full grown man who kills the most innocent and beautiful little bird of our latitude ? The man who can hear nothing beautiful in the tender and mournful song of a dove has ears to hear but still is deaf. The man who can find either sport orpleasure in killing a duvets lacking in one of life's great essentials. The matter submitted by the Gilligau Co. , on the first page of this paper is worthy the con sideration of every business man in the county , and especially of the Falls City contingent. The proposition that this company shall be ruined when it pays SH , 100 in annual salaries to Falls City people simply because young Martin docs not like some of the people connected with the company , is preposterous. The egotisun of such a condition is not surprising under the circum stances , but the injury done Falls City by such reprehensible conduct is none the less great. Fred Graham left Thursday for Wisconsin where he will again enter a school of electri cal engineering. Lejal Notice. Voii.Anna Dobry , Ton y Dobrj.

MARRIED AND BURIED DOLL. An interesting eat-e of the super stition regarding the third time is given by a Lahore , India , paper. An inhabitant of the city of Hadaon lost two wives in quick succession , and was about to contract a third marriage , when he received the fol lowing mandate from the relatives of the bride : "We are told that when a man has already lost two wives his third also dies very soon. In order to satish the Angel of Death you are requeMed to marry a doll , anil thereafter tome and murnt our daughter , who should be your fourth wife , and not your third. " The man did as he was told , lie married the doll , then gave out that she was dead , buried her with great pomp , and proceeded to marry hia fourth wife ! DECEITFULNESS OF THE MULE.

" " "That"HO ? " drawled the judge , as he stroked his carroty whiskers. ' Wai , neighbor , I reckon I'll have to fine yeou five dollars.

For the thousandth time the story is sot going that vast fortunes are about to le reaped by raising sunken logs in the rivers of Mimie- * ota and Wiseonpon and along the shores of Lake Superior. We are told that sound pine logs do not de teriorate in water , no matter how long immeivod , and that timber sub merged for half a century has been found in perfect condition. J.t might pay somebody handsomely to tackle the Dismal swamp and res cue its long-buried juniper trees. When boys weie boys . " 0 years ago they were told by pedagogues that all whetstones with a white side and u slate-colored side were made of the heart and sap of the hickory tree immersed in water for seven 3cars and petrified. The result was that every cistern was choked with pieces of hickory , which the boys actually believed would be fossilized on schedule time. SATISFIED WITH COUNSEL. A young newsboy had brought suit against another newsboy who liad tried to capture his corner of the street. The paper sent a lawyer to defend its representative , while ( he youngster had to present his case himself , lie had been watching the progvjjte if several eases before ; iis was oiled and as soon a * ( lie justice said : " .Jones vs. Smith" he jumped up and yelled : "f object ! " "State your objection , " com manded the justice. "Well , he's got a lawyer , and I haven't , and that's not fair , " ho an swered. "Don't you think 3-011 and I can take care of them , young man ? " in quired the justice. "Oh , well , if the court's on my side I'm ready. " instantly replied the youngster , and the case proceed ed. Judge. SMALL DUTIES. The duty of doing , not great things , hut what we can , is the very top and sum of human obligation. One cannot get beyond it ; one ought not to stop this side of it. It means the doing of everything that you can , and chiefly it means the doing of things that issue out of the heart toward God and man. It means ( he setting aside of self , and laying out one's best energies in unselfish , not to be requited , M-rvice. It means not merely occupation , industry , at tainment : not merely busy hands , but busy affections , sympathies , pur poses. It is the little daily acts of Christian love and * > rvico that win the Master's "well done , " in the Eternal Kingdom. GENIAL JOHN. After many vain attempts the plucky interviewer succeeded in meeting the head of the great oil trust face to face. " 1 understand , sir , that you are opposed to go\eminent ownership ? " ventured the interviewer. "Not at nil , my boy. " chucked genial .John , stroking his wig. "On the contrary , 1ould 1 like to see government ownership. " "When ? " "Why , when 1 own the govern ment. " And then genial John poked the interviewer in the ribs and invited him out to play * jjurue of golf. any time you come and price them to Announcement THE BON TON MILLINERS announce to the Ladies of Palls City and vicinity that they have all of their Hats on display.

Cameras on the wing are Hying through Germany. A projectile to take photographs and claimed to have been successful at heights of half a mile is the idea of Ilerr Marie , a German photographer. A camera having the form of the usual kind of conical shell is thrown into the air by means of a kind of trap. At a predetermined angle , as the camera turns to make its descent and is pointed slightly downward the shutter is automatically released and a pitcure is taken of a broad ex panse of country. In still air the ilight and spot at which the aerial camera will fall can be calculated with much pre cision. Precautions are taken to avoid damage by concussion , and the re sults are expected to be of great pos sible valne in military operations. Chicago Tribune. BARRED ALL SPEECHES. M. Victorien Sardou , the famous Trench dramatist , has received the grand cross of the Legion oT Honor. Ho has been grand officer of the Le gion of Honor for six years , and his promotion was a Xcw Year's com pliment which has drawn scores of congratulations. To the proposal to celebrate the new distinction , M. Sardou says : "Xo banquet , please ; no speeches ! I do not mind a little dinner of intimate friends , but spare mo speeches. 1 only accepted the presidency of the Authors' society on condition that no address would be expected from me. The only dis course of my life was the funeral oration I delivered at the tomb of Dumas. We had vowed that the sur vivor should discharge that duty , and it fell to me to perform the vow. " Tit-Bits.
