C. W. Cramer and wife return
ed Tuesday night from an extend
ed visit through eastern states ,
both looking well and enjoying
good health. They left Valentine
u year ago last Thanksgiving , go
ing from here to St. Joseph , Mo. ,
where they visited for several
months with a daughter. Mr.
Cramer had run a sliver into his
eye before leaving here and while
in St. Joseph went to a specialist
but could not save the sight and is
now blind in his left eye , though
his health has improved. They
left there last February , going to
Independence , Kan. , to visit Mr.
Cramer's sister , and from there
went , last May. to Lima , Ohio ,
the old home , where Mr. Cramer
has brothers , sister and other rela
tives and spent the summer with
them , also going over into Indiana
to a reunion of his mother's people
ple where he met over 300 rela
tives in one day whom they hadn't
seen for years and some they ne'er
had seen before. During his
travels Mr. Cramer had oppor
tunities to see how other people
lived and progressed , but comes
home better pleased with Cherry
county as a place to live than any
place he has been. The soil was
worn in the east and the crops are
not equal to Cherry county's
bountiful crops , though perhaps
they spend as much time farming
iO acres as a man does here in
farming 160 or more. The land
values there are from § 100 to § 200
per acre and taxes arecorresponcl-
ly high with less oppnriuriitie-
increasing the value of their lanu
than we have here and their rental
value is double but pays the own
er a smaller per cent on his money
invested and the renter must be
contented to raise no more but
must work harder to raise
the same amount of crops , with
rnor * . expensive but less available
horses and less to keep a team on
and no opportunity to start a
bunch of stock of his own without
great expense in taking care of
them. His living expenses would
not be much higher and it costs
but little to graze stock here.
Good land can be bought here for
§ 10 to § 20 per acre.

"Originally what is now known as
rock candy , " explained a confectioner
to a reporter , "was called ii the trade
Gibraltar rock. Originally , also , it was
the purest kind of candy , for it v.as
crystallized sugar pure and Dimple.
Ordinarily it is purer now than man/
other candies. Hawthorne , in * 'fhe
IIoue of the Seven ( Jablcs , ' desprib

there was a glass pickle jar lilledviili
fragments of ( Hhraltar rock not. in
deed , splintery of the veritable fortress , i
but bits of d.'Ifctable candy. ' Or.or !
writers ; of even earlier date than lat ! .
speak of Gibraltar rock. It appear5 , j
however , that the Gibraltar was finally |
dropped , and it became known as ro-k '
caily. ; I have a price list frruod in i
1813 to the candy tra li > hi vrhk-Ii (35 ,
braltar rock is the name given. tluigli
after that it is quoted as rock candy. '
Throughout England it is known a

the Gibraltar is dropped , and it is
(
called rock candy. "
A Disrral Failure. j
A young jobbing Jinn in New York !
overbought for the fall trade. Their
heaviest mistake had been in a line of
overcoats , which , it looked , they would ,
have to carry over a season. Efforts to \
gt cash for the stock were fruitless
except at ruinous rates.t Inrt the
firm went to an old timer in the trade
for advice.
"Well , " said the man of experience ,
"you've got a pretty good list of cus
tomers. Just divide the coats up into
lots of thirteen each. Send a batch
apiece to soir.e of your sharpest cus
tomers , brt make out the bill's for
twelve. They'll be so tickled to get
one coat for nothing that they'll take
'em ail. "
The scheme had been tried before
'the men met again. The old timer
waited for his praise. v
"V.'ell , didn't they keep the coats ? "
ho asked.
"Yes , " returned the jobber sadly.
"One each the one that wasn't billed. ' ?
