John Swanson drove his cattle to his pasture in Woodville township Tuesday of last week. August Dahlberg and wife, P. P. John son and family, were visiting at Swan Nicklason's Sunday afternoon. We were wondering what made all the duet raise Tuesday morning of last week but when we come to find it out it was Theodore Saleetrom that kicked up his keels so high that it made the dustily. All on account of that his wife present ed him with a new boy that morning, but Theodore will soon get over that and we will have nice weather again. WmmM&r.bsSS:. SV?- ZA7V;r : 3i;r .-! - - .

A furnace is partvof the furnishings. of the basement of a house. It is a large, obese structure, with a. frank and readily opened countenance, and an unappeasable appetite for coal, which appttite increases as coal in creases in price. When coal is about seven dollars a ton, a furnace will be finicky and pernickety in its appe tite, demanding only a few shovelfuls now and then, but when coal roams up Into the altitudes of financial affairs, the furnace will be as eager for it as a girl is for hothouse grapes and im ported melons in January. The duty of a furnace is to heat the house wherein it may be. It stands, however, between love and duty. It. loves the coal so much that it neglects its duty at times. When the mercury goes down and sulks at the 'bottom of the bulb the furnace will grow sad and moody, meditating upon the good old summer time, and will quite forget that there are heat pipes running aimlessly through the "walls. But let a warm wave come along and the furnace will grow repentant and say to itself that it will make amends. Immediately all the windows have to be opened and people four blocks away get out their summer apparel. A furnace will burn one ton of coal and produce thereform four tons of ashes, which accumulate in the cor ner of- the cellar until a colored gen tleman comes along and offers to car ry them out for a king's ransom. , The heathen Hottentot has a hard time, and doubtless deserves aid, but he does not have to struggle with the furnace problem nor endure the cold, calculating stare of the coal man. Chicago Evening Post, ' MAKING A SURE THING OF IT. Proprietor of Curio Store Ready With a Suggestion That Would Surely Save, Time. William Weston, manager of the Tabor Grand theater, tells this one: On one occasion David Belasco cast an actor for a certain role in wnich he had to play the part of a Cossack officer and every one knows how par ticular Belasco Is concerning detail. "You must hunt up a Cossack saber," eald he. "Not an ordinary sword, but the real thing." So the actor man started out on a still hunt through all the curio stores for the weapon. After a fruitless quest lie arrived at a junk shop kept by an ancient He brew at Baxter street "Vat can I do for you?" queried the proprietor. "I'm with Belasco," said the actor man, " and I'm looking for a Cossack saber." "Vait a minute." The ancient one rummaged diligent ly through a pile of old scraps and could not find the desired implement of warfare. He finally came forward with a rusty dagger. "Here's is shust vat you want," he exclaimed, intent on making a sale. The Thespian again explained that nothing would suit but a Cossack saber. "Vat do you vant to do mit id, myne frient?" persisted he of the tribe of Benjamin. "I'm with Belasco and I have to use it in a part where I kill a man on the "Stage." The old Jew's face lit up like a birthday cake. "Vy vas it that you not tell ma this before?" he ex claimed, in delighted tones. "It is that you should kill a man on the stage, eh? Veil, here, -rat's the mattei with this pistol? - Dake it, my friend you can kill him twice as quick with Id." Denver Post Was the King's Fiddler. James Blair, widely known through out Scotland as the king's fiddler, has passed away at Aberdeen, aged 83 Blair and his father, Willie Blair, had been connected with the royal familj as players of strathspeys for over 60 years, and James trained the prince of Wales, -Prince Edward .and the princesses of that day in the art of Highland dancing. For years James Blair acted as the special gillie of King Edward, with whom and Queen Alexandra he was a great favorite. Too Realistic.

DIDN'T GET HIS AERIAL tIN. Mr. Simpson Meant te Drop in and See His Daughter. In the matter of aviation an eccen tric individual, who sought to make a flying start from the new Queensbbro bridge in an aerial splu to Hartford. Conn., with the intention of droppir in on his daughter, thinks he has thu Wright brothers and the Silver Dart beaten. His flying machine consisted of an antiquated bicyele to which was at tached an immense canvas umbrella, and in the rear of the machine was a propeller made something after the fashion of the wings of a small wind mill. He trundled his machine up the north promenade of the bridge, and then unlimbering his umbrella, pro ceeded to couple up his propeller. Watchman Bernard O'Brien got inter ested. "Goln to take a little spin?" in quired O'Brien. "Yep," returned the aviator; "Just a little jaunt to see my daughter." "Got your permit?" asked O'Brien. "Sure," jeturned the unknown, handing out an old card on which was printed bridge statistics. "That don't go," replied O'Brien. "Hadn't you better postpone your trip for a day or so?" But the individual wasn't inclined to postpone his trip', so O'Brien called to his assistance Patrick Leddin and Henry Borsch, who are employed on the bridge. They finally got the avi ator and his contrivance off the struc ture and turned him over to Police man Kelly. The man gave his name as Leroy Simpson of 3456 Third ave nue, Manhattan. In order to make sure that he would not seek some other opportunity of-making'his flying start for Hartford, the bridge men con fiscated his apparatus. New, York Times. Joy of Living. As the years multiply and the end .draws nearer each day, our thoughts are apt to turn often to questions as to what part of our present being shall exist in that other life beyond the veil; and we anxiously ask ourselves whether we are doing anything to pre pare ourselves for that change, which will be so infinitely greater than any transformation through which we have hitherto passed, and we can but won der whether any of our past experi ences shall have -their counterpart in the world to come. And yet we can not help feeling that some of our earthly joys have been so pure, and havecome so directly from the hand of a kind and loving father, that it seems but reasonable we should ex pect to find their counterpart in the future; and we think with Bradford Torrey: "It is good to have lived our day and taken our peep at the mighty show. Ten thousand things we may have come so directly from the hand of a kind and loving Father, that it sun, to have loved natural beauty, to have felt the majesty of the trees, to have enjoyed the sweetness and beau ty of the flowers, and the music of birds so much at least has not been vanity nor . vexation of spirit" Charleston News and Courier. Passing of the Drum. The dispatch from Russia to the ef fect that Emperor Nicholas has signed an order abolishing the use of drums in the army in time of war will serve to call attention to the fact that the drum has been rapidly passing out of use in the armies of the world. It was long a picturesque feature of all mili tary movements, and had its recog nized place not only in parade and on marches,sbut on the batlefield itself. It is still littleimore than half a century since Daniel Webster, describing Eng land's . greatness,, declared that her drumbeats never ceased. It was at that time almost, If not literally, true. But England's drumbeats are ceasing, and have, indeed, almost wholly ceased. There is no use for a drum on a firing line of modern warfare, and the move ments of bodies of men on the march or on parade can be much better di rected by the bugle. In Russia, it ap pears, the drummers are to be taught to shoot, which will doubtless appeal to military men everywhere as the most practical use to make of them. The drum and the drummer boy are passing away along with many other features of the old-time pomp and cir cumstance of war. Health and Mountain Climbing. If women (and men, too) would take suitable exercise, eat moderately and slowly, and get all the fresh air possi ble, they would not in middle life ac quire figures so ungainly, feel so averse to physical effort, or drop off with heart failure. Even stair-climbing is better than nothing; for the last year or two, though there is an ele vator, I have done four flights several times a day. Reasonable mountain climbing will bring or preserve health, joy and youth up to really old age. It does not require great muscle and brawn, nor the overtraining which strains the organs and compels con tinued 'exercise or collapse'. Its vic tories over nature leave no sting; the paths are open to all. Annie S. Peck in Collier's. What She Wanted. Old Lady I'd like to get a pair of shoes, young man. Clerk Yes, ma'am. Want something for everyday wear? Old Lady Yes; and I want them good and stout Clerk Well, here Is a good shoe an extra strong shoe. It has been worn a great deal this winter Old Lady (interrupting) Look here, young man, I don't want a shoe that has been worn this winter, or any other winter. I want a new pair. Stamping Out Opium Smoking. From Honan, China, a correspon dent write: "Most of the opium planted In the autumn was destroyed and the land 'was put under wheat The officials say that when the plant has bloomed eat they will make an other search sad If any poppy Is found the land thafgrows It will become of ficial land. The shops for selling the drug are now limited. No one is al lowed to smoke except at home. While I was staying 4 an; Inn the official of ties place. In 'slaking his round of the lawless fellow wera lodced there, saw a'nu smokfag-'m the rooW where I was. and at once forced Tata to blow out his' lamp. But almost aa soon, as the oflclal was gone the smoker began again. At one of these towns the official Is an opium smoker. He has signed the pledge that he has given jap the practice! but at the same time the report is abroad that he has man kerosene oil cans full of the stuff stored away for his own use. While this is true, he is pressing the work of making others stop and not many days ago he put the wooden collar on six men for ten days because they had been found smoking." - n HARD LOT OF MOUNTAINEER. On Land So Poor That the Easiest Kind of Crop te Raise Was Beyond Him. It was on a lonely road in the moun tains. A weary rider was slowly mak ing his way up the steep mountainside, pausing now and then to rise In his stirrups and look about in search of tome sign of civilization. Suddenly a turn In the road brought him face to face with a lank, sallow-faced moun taineer, seated upon the top rail of the snake fence which bounded a poor little farm which had found lodgment on the mountainside. The rider paused. "Can you tell me how far it is to Big Stone gap?" he In quired. The mountaineer's lips moved in an swer, but no sound reached the rider's ears. He "moved over nearer to the fence and repeated the question. This time he could barely distinguish a whispered word or two in the farmer's answer. "What's the matter with your' he in quired, dismounting and walking over to the fence where the old man sat "Can't you talk?" The old man looked pityingly at his questioner for a moment, and then, slimbing down from his seat on the rail, he walked up to the traveler, and. putting his grizzled face close to his ear, whispered, hoarsely: ".Yis. I kin talk, but the fact is, stranger, land is so poor in these parts that I kaip't. even raise my voice." GREAT PRODUCTION OF SALT. Twenty-Five Million Barrels of This Indispensable Condiment Made In America Last Year. There has been a big increase in the production of salt In the United States In the last ten years. Close to 25,000, 000 barrels were produced in this country last year, which was in excess of any such period previous. Possibly the largest domestic source is in New York state, in the vicinity of Syracuse. Michigan probably comes next Salt originally Is in the rock form or In a solution In sea water or brine springs. The former is obtained by quarrying or mining and by solution. With the latter water is poured over the salt until the mineral' Is saturated and is then brought to the surface by pumping. The brine Is boiled down in large pans. The finest salt Is boiled at a tem perature of about 107 degrees centi grade. Commercial salt, fishing and bag salt are produced In successively larger pans and at increasingly low temperatures. Finer salt Is raked out of the pans at much shorter Intervals; in the case of the finest two or three times a day. Effective Hint. Many amusing stories have been told of the famous pianist Prof. Le schetlzky's way of dealing with pupils who did not please him. and the fol lowing is one of the most character istic. A certain player who was study ing under him had such a vigorous style, and thumped the piano so hard, that the professor lost all patience. After repeated reproofs, which failed to be effectual. Leschetlzky rang the bell. To the servant who answered it he said, with a dangerous quiet ness: "Bring some bandages Imme diately, please; we require them for the piano." After that the pupil played less noisily. Satisfied with the Sample. Robert has lately acquired a step mother. Hoping to win his affection, this new parent has been very lenient with him, while his father, feeling his responsibility, has been unusually strict The boys of the neighborhood, who had taken pains to warn Robert of the terrible character of step mothers in general, recently waited on him in a body, and the following conversation was overheard: "How do you like your stepmother. Bob?" "Like -her! Why, fellers. I just love her. All I wish Is I had a stepfather, too." Eggsactly. Rooster How came this orange here? Chicken Why, that's the orange marmalaid.

"An allowance Is a mighty tae thing when a Man knows just how much Is coming in, but I don't like that word 'allowance. Who are yoa to 'allow your wife to have money? You endowed her with It as soon as yon nuurrled her. It's just as much hers as yours. In the partnership she and yoa are equal If you married the right sort of woman. 'Allowance.' -Just due would be bet ter. Give her her just due the first of every month and relieve her of the hu miliating necessity of asking so selfish a creature perhaps I should say thoughtless a creature as you for money. "I've talked with a good many wives, and they don't like to ask for money. Many of them do not realize that they have a perfect right to it, while some of them have too much spirit to ask for what is their due. "The trouble Jn most cases Is that so many husbands have the 'lord and mas ter idea of their position, and they like to feel that it is for them to say what disposition shall be made of the money that they earn? "But remember that In the great mid dle class, of which American life I say American life is largely composed, the wife works as hard as the man does, and. while he does work for which an other pays him. she does her work from love; and so. If he's a decent fel low, he will never force her to ask for money; he will be glad to share it with her." Charles Battell Loomis, In Smith's. WRITE LETTERS TO YOURSELF Advice for Getting a Grip on Feelings, Adapted for the Quick Tempered. Fuzzy-mindedness is just as likely to attack our feelings as it is our brains. Feelings tend all the time to be vague and irresponsible; they must be subjected to the same clearing pro cess as our thoughts; they must be sifted, judged, criticised. The thing I must try for is the ability to "exter nalize" my feelings and judge them squarely. The best rule I know for getting a grip on them is this: "Put them on paper." Make a written statement of your feelings not for the literary benefit of posterity, but for your own profit right here, and now. Take the case of sudden anger The stimuli toward shutting the jaws tight and closing the hands go out instantly from the lower brain. But remember the formula. Get a sheet of paper, take a pencil, and write down the cause of your anger, wheth er It be justified or not, and what appears to be the best way of treating it From Dr. Luther H. Gulick's "Mind and Work." Making Cigars. In the cigar factory the bales are opened as needed. The tobacco re quired for the day's work is first damp ened and then goes to the strippers, who remove the stem and mid-rib of the leaf. The leaves are classified Into wrappers and fillers, and turned over to the cigarmaker, who. with no other tool than a knife, cuts out his wrap pers, shapes the filler In the hollow ot his hand and deftly rolls the material into a finished cigar. There are cigar making machines, but these are sem ployed only for making the cheaper grades of cigars from domestic to bacco. It is a peculiar fact that de spite the wonderful progress of me chanical contrivances in all lines ot manufacture, the better grades of cigars are made to-day exactly as they were a hundred years ago. Bohemian Magazine. Wonderful Longevity. One of the most curious Instances of longevity is found In Miss' Louisa Courtenay's "Notes on an Octogena rian." A witness In a will case In which Bellenden-Ker, the great Eng lish conveyancer, was engaged, was I asked If he had any brothers or sis ters. He replied that he had. had one brother who died 150 years ago. The court expressed incredulity, and docu mentary evidence was produced in support of the statement This showed that the witness father, who married first at the age of 19, had a son who died in infancy. The father married again at the age of 75, and had a son who lived to appear in the witness box at the age of 94, and made the above startling statement And All Unreceipted. Lord Granard, at one of the many dinner parties that preceded his mar riage to Miss Ogden Mills, said of the imppverished nobility of the old world: "What a German friend of mine said of his family is true of too many fami lies. "My friend was a graf. I was visit ing his castle on the Rhine. He showed me there one day many proofs of his race's antiquity. ' " 'Dear, me,' I said, staling a yawn, T had no idea you went back so far.' "He pointed proudly to an old steel bound chest of black oak. '"Why, my boy," said he, Tve got bills In there dating back to the twelfth century.'" Cruel Suspicion. "Bllgglns is a great reader. He In variably buys a newspaper before get ting on a street car." "I have noticed the paper," answered Miss Cayenne. "But I am not so sure he reads It. Maybe he holds it up be cause he's too polite to see a lady gtanding." The Musketeers of Success. "I owe my success in the walking line," says Edward Payson Weston starting out at 71 on his pedestrian trip across the continent, "to just three things. They are pride, princi ple and pluck. If you haven't any ol these, don't try any real long walk- ing- This is good advice, sound and sen tentlous. It might be extended to other pilgrimages than those from salt wa ter to salt water. Pride, principle and pluck are the three musketeers that every man needs In bis service.

Cheerful Prospect Ahead for Traveler, Ne Matter Which Course He Elected te Follow. A New Englander. traveling on foot through the southern mountains, studying the people, askei a man whom he met to direct him to a cer tain cabin at which he had been ad vised to stay overnight. "Going thar?" said the man. "Well, Tom's a nrst rater, take him just right., but he's mighty queer." "What do you mean?" asked the traveler. "Well, it's like this." and the man looked at the stranger in a calm. Im personal way. "He'll be setting out side, most probably, and he'll see you coming; he'll take a good look at you, and ef you don't suit him. he may set the dog on you. ' y "Ef he don't, and you get to talk ing with him. and say anything he don't Just like, he throw you down and- tromp on you. But ef you're too careful in your talk, on the other hand, he's liable to take you for a spy and use his gun fust and listen to explana tions afterward. "But it's no use trying to get by without stopping." concluded the man, with evident relish of the prospect ho was opening up to the stranger. "Ef you was to undertake that, 'twould be all up with you. for he'd think you was proud and blggetty. "Ef you want to come out of the mountain whole, don't go past Tom's cabin without stopping, whatever you do!" Youth's Companion. WOMAN HAS SPIDER FOR PET. Somewhat Remarkable Taste Dis played by Wife of Prominent English Churchman. The dean of Carlisle's pet spider, which he mentioned In a recent speech at Carlisle. Is in an ante-room at the deanery. "Mrs. Barker discovered it." said the dean in an Interview. "I have been asked to photograph It. but it is in such a position that this cannot well be done. At present it is in a dormant state. Mrs. Barker comes and tells me about It every day, and she Is wait ing for the time when it will spin its little web." Asked what would be done with It then, the dean replied: "Oh. she will continue to take care of it." Although most ladies have a horror of spiders. Mrs. Barker Is specially fond of them. "But all animals," added Dr. Bar ker, "are a source or dcllgnt to us. Flocks of birds come to our gardens, Including sparrows, tomtits, robins and ravens. Mrs. Barker goes Into the garden in the morning, whistles, and at once the birds will collect round her. She feeds them with suet, meat and bread. We have rings sus pended from the trees for the tomtits, and we have placed artificial rests In the trees for them." Dr. Barker quoted Bishop Butler in support of his belief that animals have a future life. "Why should they not?" he asked. "A dog thinks and reflects. Look at the flight of birds. Who knows what Is passing in the intelli gence of these animals?" Woman Out of a Job. The -Now York Times has an Inter esting editorial on the "Woman Out of a Job." This is not the business worn an seeking a position, but the so-called home woman. There was a time when the gtrl made her wedding clothes and the expectant mother fashioned dainty garments for her first born, Now trousseaux and layettes can be bought ready made much .better and cheaper than they can be manufac tured at home. The mother does not rock her baby to sleep, as that is forbidden; nor does she rock the cra dle, for there are no cradles. It is un sanitary to cuddle the baby, and It la put to sleep by Itself. Women living in "two rooms and a bath" are com panlons for their husbands, and not helpmeets. The exigencies of modern life make this enforced idleness neo essary, and what wonder that women want something to do? It is foolish to tell them "to go back to thelx homes," such as they are. for they are only "out of a job" in them. Dolly Wasn't Brave.
