Many beautiful pre sents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Nun nally left on the morning train for Port land and the Sound cities on a wedding trip. LEIGH. From the World. We are pleased to report that Lydia Lutz, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A F Lutz, who underwent and operation last week for appendicitis, is constantly im proving. Some lowborn individual who evident ly has more gall than brains carried out one of his dastardly crimes last Monday night by stealing several nice large pork roasts from the entry of the Rev. Lutz home. Henry, the fourteen year old son of Henry Backenhns, srn met with a pain ful accident at his home south of town Sunday afternoon. He and his younger Bister were amusing themselves with a powder horn by pouring a little of the powder out and touching a match to it. By accident the horn was held too close to the flames and becoming ignited an explosion followed. The boy's hand was torn open and bis face and the upper part of his body were badly burned. The little girl escaped without injury. A sad and distressing accident occur red at the Joe Nebola farm south of Leigh last Sunday afternoon when their seven year old son Louis lost his life by the accidental discharge of a shot gun in the hands of his seventeen year old bro ther, Frank. Frank Nebola had been bunting that day and on his return went to put away the gun; with the weapon resting on his left arm he proceeded-to let the hammer down when the fatal discharge took place. His brother and a little sister were standing about 40 feet away on a hay stack when the boy received the entire load of No. 2 shot. We were told that the girl was standing almost in front of the lad when the ac cident took place and it seems almost a miracle that she was not killed. HUMPHREY.

The mistakes which were plentifully sprinkled along Mrs. Comer's career were never regretted by any one more than by Mrs. Comer herself. "I used the very best judgment I had," she said, referring to one unfortunate oc currence, "but as usual, everything went wrong. "You see, I went to Greenville in the morning with Mrs. Hobart, intending to go on to Nashua; but 1 changed my mind when the weather turned cool and spent the day with Anna Woods, going home at dusk. I'd forgotten my little bag with my key in it, so I went right over to Mrs. Hobart's. "She'd gone down the road to Mrs. Cole's, but I found her key behind the left-hand blind, and went right in. "The house was dark, but I said to myself: 'I won't light a lamp for fear of scaring her, a timid woman living all alone as she does.' So I sat in the dark till I heard her coming up the walk. "When she found the door was un locked she gave a kind of a gasp; so I stepped forward, and then, long as I had a cold so my voice didn't sound natural, and I was afraid 'twould scare her, she being so timid, I put out my hand and laid it on her arm. "And if you'll believe me," finished Mrs. Comer, plaintively, "she fell right over in a faint, and cut her forehead on the edge of the rocking chair, and I thought I'd never bring her to! "There's no use trying to be care ful with a woman like her." Youth's Companion. Life's Adjusting Power. Life seems to have a sort of adjust ing power. We always suffer one way or another for the wrong we do, and unquestionably we are always reward ed for the good actions. There is no happiness in revenge, no joy in hatred, no inspiration in jealousy and mean ness. It is when we have come to a quiet understanding of the ill-effects of our baser sentiments that we be come refined and grow into better, more wholesome conditions. It is usually the one who runs away from the fight who is the stronger. Punish ment will be meted out to your enemy; it isn't for you to judge and convict. All those matters are taken care of just how we do not know, and after all, it does not matter. Visionary. "We keep our automobile in the mirage," said one Topeka matron to another.

BRUCE AUCTIONEER Crest, Nee. .i ir Dates can be made at the Journal Office rLATTE CKNTKB f From the Bursal. a ' ' Mrs. M Sheridan and family of the Okay neighborhood, moved to Colum bus on Monday to locate permanently having rented their farm to Mr. I. N. Jones. The Sheridan family are pioneer residents of Okay aud they will be' miss ed by their many friends. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Eublen, a few miles north pf town, was placed under quarantine for scarlet fev er a few days ago. This is the third time in the last few months that this family has been quarantined. A young son who had the fever a short time ago is now suffering from an attack of ap pendicitis. The first of the week Messrs. Thos. Lynch aud Pat "Gleason moved from 'their farms to their new homes on the'' former Burns farm west of town, just outside the village Iimit9. They have neither of them a house built yet, but last summer barns, granaries, cribs and other out buildings were erected, and as they had rented their farms and had to giye possession the .first of the month, they will live in their granaries until their bouses are built. Work on the new bouses will be commenced aB soon as the weather permits. ST. EDWARD From the Advance. Dr. and Mrs. 6. A. Ireland of Colum bus were guests last Friday and Satur day of St. Edward relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Grape arrived yesterday morning with their household .goods from Riverton, Iowa, and have moved on the M. O. Smith farm just west of St. Edward which Mr. Grape purchased during the winter for $100 an acre. M. O. Smith was a business visitor to Columbus Tuesday and Wednesday. He says that he and Mrs. Smith expect to move down there about April 1. They have bought a residence properly there but it will not be vacated before that time. Mr. and Mrs. Jay McKelvey moved the fore part of the week to the A. J. McKelvey farm south of St. Edward. Jay says he has rode the wood horse in the harness shop long enough to entitle him to a little fresh air, and he knows that this article can be found in abund ance on the farm. MICROBES IN THE SCALP. The Latest Explanation is That Mi crobes Cause Baldness. Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany and Dr. Saboiirand of Paris, France, share the honor of having discovered the hair microbe. Baldness is not caused through a few weeks' work of these hair microbes, b.ut is the result of conditions brought about by their presence. Baldness may not occur until years after the microbes be gan work, but it is certain to come soon er or later. The microbes cut .off the blood supply. They feed on the fatty matter about the root of the hair, through which the blood is absorbed. Finally the fatty matter is wholly con sumed, the food supply of the hair is gone and it starves and finally dies. Kesorcin is one of the most effective germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin, though not a dye, restores natural color to hair when loss of color was caused by disease. These curatives properly mix ed with alcohol as a stimulant, perfect a remedy unequalled for curing scalp and hair troubles. We want everyone who has any scalp or hair trouble to try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic, which contains all these ingre dients. If it does not grow hair on yur bald head, stop your hair from falling out; cure you of dandruff; make your hair thick, eilky, luxuriant: if it does not give yon complete satisfaction in every particular, return the empty bottle to us, and we shall return every penny you paid ub for it, without question or form ality. Of course, you understand chat when we say that Rexall "93" flair Tonic will grow hair on bald heads, we do not refer to cases where the roots are entirely dead, the pores of the scalp closed, and the head has the shiny appearance of a billiard ball. In cases like this, there is no hope. In all other cases of baldness Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will positively grow hair, or cost the user nothing. Two sizes, 50c aud $1.00. Pollock & Co. the druggists on the corner. Doctors Thick in New York. The proportion of physicians to the general population is probably great er in New York city than anywhere else in the country. In the United States, for example, taking the esti mated population of the census bu reau for 1908 as abasis, there is one licensed physician to every 709 per sons; in New York state there is one to 672, and in New York city, one to only C53. It has been estimated that the phy sician in general practice must have a clientele of 750 persons, or 150 fam ilies, to support himself and his fam ily in comfort, so if this estimate is accurate the New York doctor Js short an average of 100 patients, and many of course are further behind than that. Medical Record. Ruskin on Art Critics. A. Stodart Walker tells of Ruskin throwing a large quarto at hfs head because he had dared to question the' artistic excellence, in the matter of proportion, of Michael' Angelo's "Mo ses" in Rome. After the throwing was over he asked: ".How often have you seen it?" "Oh, half a dozen times," Stodart Walker answered with confi- Ldence In his side as to the result of -.such a reminder. "Good heavens," Ruskin cried, "no man should dare p.to give an opinion on any work of art unless he has seen it 'every day for Isix months." addine after a nause. v"and even' then he should hold his tongue If he has used his 'eyes as you '-seem to have used them."

This distinction is not sound universally, but probably has a sound basis. Pop ular always is the Brotherhood of Cor pulence. Cheering is the tubby gentle man, his "round belly with good capon lined " his globular being exuding genially, his whole face palpitating with the smile which in lesser men ends at the lips, his gait perforce a pompous waddle. A certain French savant discourses learnedly on the pre cise cause of this strut, and avers that it is due to the drawing up of the dia phragm, the shortening of the base of the thorax, and the consequent elongation of the waist. This sounds profound, but perhaps the portly gait is an inherent natural trait akin, for instance, to the possessor's intrepidity iu venturing into a bathing suit or trundling through the mazes of the waltz. Collier's Weekly. The Miners on the Corner. ."Those men," said Sherlock Holmes, "are colliers. You can tell it by their attitude." The men, very clean in white shirts and black overcoats, squatted on their heels- on a sunny corner. "Any other men," continued Holmes, "would stand. They would lean against the lamppost or the wooden Indian of the tobacconist. But these men, in the low galleries, or tunnels, of coal mines, for lack of space must work seated on their heels squatting, as we say. And this position, which would become a torture to you or me in five minutes, is to them, from long usage, comfortable and customary. It is their favorite po sition at all times. 'Hence, when you see men Idling on their heels on the street corners you can always set them down as miners. If they are bow-legged the case against them is doubly strong." More Ways Than One.

The new waitress sidled up to a dapper young man at the breakfast' table, who, after glancing- at the bill, opened his mouth, and a noise issued forth that sounded like the ripping ff of all the cogs on one of the wheels in the power house.
