The illustrated lecture given by -Supt. O. J. Kern of Illinois last Tuesday evening was well-attend ed and appreciated. It gave us some idea of the school work of . .other" places and we hope .all who beard his lecture will plant a tree and teach others to do so by pre cept. Our world needs beautify ing .and we likiv Mr. Kern's meth- "ods. While he may be a more practical worker than an enter tainer , his lecture was very in structive and espi ? < i i'ly to teachers - ers who expect to guide the school destinies of. Cherry county youths. . , j * * * ' Kile Ijutta Drowned Last Tuesday the report was flashed over telephone wires that , ' ' Nile Latta had drowned in Long lake , about three miles south oi Hackberry lake. He had startec out to hunt for a missing horse and in going past the Still wel place was joinVl by Willie Latta a cousin about 10 years old who was visiting his grand-parents When they came to Long lake Nile thought th'ey could cross i and they started in. The water is deeper t : is year than usual anc they soon got into water too deep to wade , their horses plunging into deep water which submerged then and Nile was either thrown from his horse or got off to catch him by the tail , and told Willie to give hi horse the rein which he did and the horse turned and swam to shore. Nile's horse swam straight ahead for awhile and Nile , per haps thinking that the horse might not hold out to go across , cut loose of his tai.1 , turned and started to swim back , when he seems to have been seized with cramps and went down. Willie was close enough to see him come up and he again went down within only a few fee of where his horse /foundering / in the water. Nile's horse turned east and swam out on the same side he started in , shortly after Nile let loose of him. Willie rode on the run until he got to the Mil Latta home where he told them the sad news and asked them to hurry back to save Nile whom he thought they could rescue. A large number of persons were soon hurrying to Long lake where they searched until midnight be fore finding the body. The water was 12 feet deep where he wa found and was lying face down ward witri arms extended above his head just as Willie had seen him go down the last time. The funeral was held at the home yesterday , conducted by C. S. Eeece and M. Carr. and todaj When Lumber was cheap it 1 ook N to buy 1000 feet oi Lumber Now it only takes BUSHELS to buy the 'same 1000 feet You can better afford to fcuild a house now than then.

Only last Wednesday week Nile L'Uta : nul Miss Edith Klinjjsmifui \\eru munied at the home of the Jn-j'ile'rf father , Win. Klingaimtn , 'southwest ofVooillake. . Miss Kliugaraan was one Cherry county' * * teachers and is now left a widow after less than a week of wedded life. The couple had left the Kling aman home Thursday and had been staying atMiltLatta's , Nile's father. THE DEMOCRAT extends sympathy in behalf of our community to the bereaved ones who mourn the sad and untimely death of one who had just begun life with brightest of prospects. Mrs. Edith La tta will go home with her uncle , Charles Klingaman who , with his wife ; came down from Chadrou last vveek to attend tie the wedding and had just arrived home when he received the sad news of Nile's drowning and reiurn- ed to attend the funeral. Why Ago Improves Wines. "Why do wines improve with age ? " "Because they marry , " answered the expert. "Harry ? " "Yes. That is the term used in the trade. 'This sherry , ' we say , 'lias mar ried well' or 'that hock has married nastily. ' We mean by a wine's mar ' riage'that its different components the alcohol , the sugar , the carbonic acid and so on have blended together smoothly. In a new wine this blend- in ? , this marriage , has not yet taken place , and hence the harshness of new Vinos. Old wines arc valued because the alcohol and sugar and acids and others have all married together into one fragrant compound. " Exchange- Weather Vanes. The best weather vanes are made with the greatest nicety and precision , so that they balance perfectly and turn with the least possible wear. The vane is , of course , longer on one side of the socket than on the other , or it would not t-irn with the wind , but its weight is tbe same on both sides. If It is a narrow vane , for instance , the 'weight of the solid head is easily made equal to tlmt of ilip longer , projecting , but thinner feather end. and all vanes , whatever they may bp , ftJ'O balanced as to weight and so adjusted that they turn easily and with the least possible friction. Crazy People. j "Crazy people never act together. " declares the superintendent of a large asylum toy fhg insane. "IE one. inmate attacks un attendant , as sometimes happens , the other * would look upon it as no affair of theirs and simply watch it. The moment we discover two or more inmates working together wo would know they were on the road to How He Caught Them. Archbishop YTnately had a true sense of grammar , says an old English man who remembers him , and delight ed to spring catch questions. One was : "What is the vocative of cut ? " Generally the assured answer was " ' " "O'cat ! The archbishop would smile then and say , "No ; puss , puss ! ' ' § tevenson Was Poor. Itobort Louis Steypijson was in poor circumstances Jn SftH Ifft'lDPispg before he made his hit with tlio wopjfl. Pur- ing the time that he used to loaf , pen niless , upon the lawn where afterward thay put up a bronze and marble statue to lum , he picked up a few quarters acting as super jn the old California theater , in Bu0h strep * " . Hint Not "From the grammatical standpoint , " said the fair maid with the lofty fore head , "which do you consider correct. 'I had rather go home' or 'I would rather go home ? ' " "Neither , " promptly responded the young man , " 1'cJ nJUPlJ rather stay here. " His Little Joke. At the breakfast table Good Friday morning Wilfred was given a hot cross bun. It was very small , raisinless and burnt said the little fellow , disap- , r , " { .his seems to be a hot cvos3 bunko. " Woman's IJome Companion.

NttStetefe ite ng * U inter In all ages of the World and in all Countries men have indulged jn "social drinks and have used Whiskey for- medical purposes. " They have always possessed themselves of some popular beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table.
