Tta Arguments for the
ROUND OAKQHEF STEEL RAN6F
arc convincing because true
Of course you know a
"good thing" when you see
it, so come in and look at the
ROUND OAK CHIEF steel
range. It is what you should
have in your home. It is the
best. The best is always the
cheapest.
The Chief is a complete
finished range, made of the
finest material and the work
manship is positively supe
rior to all others.
The oven is the finest you
ever saw large high capa
cious, gracefully arched, and
insulated by asbestos board,
three times the thickness
commonly used.
The fire box is the right
size and shape to insure econ
omy of fuel and quick results.
The duplex grate admits of
the use of either wood or
coal without change.
The reservoir supplies
plenty of hot water and you
can bake, and heat water at
the same time.
The Chief is a range with
out an equal. It does the
work it was meant to do
cooking, heating, etc., to per
fection. It is dependable,
economical, and its appear
ance is beyond'eriticism. It
is easily the leader of ranges.

To Get Rid of Mice.
rhcn traps are of no avail or are
objected to in catching mice a good
plan is to saturate bits of sponge or
cotton wool with oil of peppermint and
place it in their holes, or sprinkle the
oil in any place that they are likely to
frequent. Another plan is to make a
cement of plaster of Paris, cayenne
pepper and cold water, and fill the
mouse holes with this. The best rem

First Breech-Loader.
A brech-loader called the Ferguson
was in use in the revolutionary war.
The first United States patent for a
breech-loading musket was granted to
Thornton & Hill of North Yarmouth,
Mass., May 21, 1S11. The first suc
cessful breech-loading shotgun was
that of Lefaucheux, invented about
1852, following many impractical devices.
Twelve Greatest Inventions.
A Paris newspaper has been ask
ing its readers to name the 12 great
est inventions. Over 400,000 coupons
were sent in and the votes were cast
m the following order: The locomo
tive, the potato, vaccine, the cure of
rabies, sugar, electric telegraph,
matches, the boiler of a steam engine,
the telephone, petrol, the sewing ma
chine and soap.
Snakes' Ears.
Snakes have no external ears, but
inside the head the " ear bones are
very crude, says St. Nicholas. Snakes
"hear," however, by feeling vibration
of sound on their delicate scaly cov
ering, and searching for sound vibra
tions by protruding the wonderfully
sensitive tongue which is filled with
thousands of microscopic nerves. Their
sight is very keen in distinguishing
moving objects.
Moral and Material Responsibility.
Private life should be walled in and
sacred, but public life has no such
right. All public existence created by
great public interests creates a respon
sibility, and this responsibility is
moral as well as material. There is
no gainsaying this, and all public func
tionaries admit they are responsible
for their personal actions. Pierre An
toie Rerryer.
The Great Pacificator.
The uncle of Europe, who Is also
the ruler of 400,000,000 of the human
race, has been the great pacificator of
our age. He, more than anyone, has
helped to clear the world's sky. He
may even act as a bridge of true
friendliness between France and Ger
many, the only nations that cannot
yet be quite friends without reserve.

' CENTRAL CITY.
From the Nonpareil.
The colored troupe of tbe Two Bill's
Comedy and Vaudeville show came to
grief here last Friday when one of the
actors was accidentally shot and killed
by another member of tbe company.
They arrived here last Wednesday and
were billed to give a performance Satur
day night. It seemed that the mode of
travel adopted by this company was via
the covered wagon route and while they
were here they lived partly in a wagon
and partly in the opera house. From
the evidence brought up by the coroner's
inquest it appears that finding themsel
ves in need of another horse they had ar
ranged a trade with a party in Grand
Island, giving in exchange a band uni
form and a shotgun. The woman being
instructed to have these gooda and chat
tels ready was handling the gun while
getting breakfast. Hearing the approach
of her husband she undertook to lay the
gun down when in some unaccountable
way it was discharged the obarge taking
effect in the heart of her husband who
was just mounting the wagon, killing
him instantly, Tbe authorities were
immediately notified and Coroner Tooley
accompanied by Attorney Boss and Sher
iff Her came immediately. An inquest
was held, the jury finding the death ac
cidental and attaching blame to no one.
The body was later removed to Central
City for burial. Archer Correspondence.

BOTH THINKER AND DRINKER.
Eminent Englishman One of the Most
Bibulous of Men.
The great Porson, librarian and
Greek scholar, would sit up drinking
all night without seeming to feel any
bad effects from it. Home Tooke told
Samuel Rogers that he once asked
Porson to dine with him in Richmond
buildings, and, as he knew that Por
son bad not been in bed for the three
preceding nights, he expected to get
rid of him at a tolerably early hour.
Porson, however, kept Tooke up the
whole night, and in the morning the
latter, in perfect despair, said: "Mr.
Porson, I am engaged to meet a
friend at breakfast at a coffee house
in Leicester square." "Oh," replied
Porson, "I will go with you," and he
accordingly did so. Soon after they
had reached the coffee house Tooke
contrived to slip out, and, running
home, ordered his servant not to let
Mr. Porson in, even if he should at
tempt to batter down the door. "A
man," observed Tooke, "who could sit
up four nights successively might have
sat up 40."
Tooke used to say that "Porson
would drink ink rather than not drink
at all." Indeed, he would drink any
thing. He was sitting with a gentle
man after dinner in the chambers of
a mutual friend, a Templar, who was
then ill and confined to bed. A serv
ant came into the room, sent thither
by his master, for a bottle of embro
cation, which was on the chimney
piece. "I drank it an hour ago," said
Porson. London's T. P.'s Weekly.
Salt Purification.
Salt is purified by melting In the
new and rapid English process. The

Air is forced into the molten mass and
lime is added. The impurities sink
to the bottom, and the upper portion
is ground and screened while the low

Fine English Church Bells.
In England for ages past church
bells have been connected with every
thing sacred in life. Here the bells
are loved for their old associations.
Who has not heard of the famous
"Bow church chimes" of Cheapside.
London? They date from 1761 and
are a fine peal of 12 bells In C, their
total weight being nearly eleven tons.
The whole bell tower Is swayed by
their ringing, and their rich tones vi
brate throughout the entire city, as It
is said those in the lofty bell tower of
St. Ivan's do in Moscow.
Hens Hatch Fish.
Chinamen have a way of tricking
hens, so that they assist in the hatch
ing of fish. Fish eggs are carefully
plated in an egg shell, which is then
sealed and put under an unsuspecting
hen. In a few days the spawn is
warmed into life and the contents of
the shell are then cast into a shal
low pool, where the sunshine com
pletes the work.
His Plaint.
"The times may grow better," he as

He gazed sorrowfully at the vacant
spot that constituted the great dis
tress of his life, "but," he added. "I'm
afraid the hair will never again grow
back on my head."
