The Bacon boys went up there with their well rope, hitched their team to her and pulled her out. The animal dvea not seem to be much the worse for her experience, either.

The third finger escaped with little in jury, but the flesh on the other one was torn loose and badly lacerated to the first joint Dr. Pugh who dressed the wound, is hopeful that the finger may be saved, but cannot tell for a few days yet. The bone was not injured, bfjt it will be a very sore affair. Among the Columbus people who at tended the dance here last Friday night were Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Carrig. Jerry is a oandidtte for the office of register of deeds the only one in the field and while he was here he thought it is a good plan to do a little missionary work for himself. It having come to his ears that there was a man in the fifth ward whom he had,-40 or 50 years ago, played a pra ctical jpke on, and who was very liable to work the "other fellow"unless he was "seen." Jerry saw the fellow, and by promising, if elected, to give him a ten per cent reduction on the fee for record ing the deed when he sold his cow, won bis enthusiastic support. Aelick politi can is that Jerry. MONBOK. From the Bepnblioan. Miss Anna Klaus came up from Col umbus Monday to visit her sister Mrs. Vestal Moore.

GI2IOA From The Times. The village fire department has re ceived a new hook and ladder truck ord ered a short time ago, and at the next meeting of the department a hook and ladder company will be organized. One of the largest sweet potatoes ever rrised in this vicinity was grown on R. A. Miner's farm north of Genoa One hill contained 9 pounds of potatoes, the largest of which was presented to The Times man. Mr. Miner also gothered a fine crop of peaches from his orchard this year. Cyrus Greek has purchased the bal ance of the Gould ranoh in the western part of the county. A few months ago he bought 1300 acres, and the last pur chase consisted of 1600 acres, making 2800 hundred acres wbioh Mr. Greek now owns in one bodyt Lew Stocks surprised some of the doubting Thomases this week by com mencing work on bis new buildiBg. A mouthy slob who has been very loud in pronouncing Mr. Stocks a bluffer, and bet S5 that the brick for the building had not been purchased, told the stake holder to turn the money over to the winner Tuesday. ST. KDWABD From the Advance. A letter received by 'Mrs. Jos. West brook last week from her hon, D. R Weatbrook, who is taking treatment for cancer at Burlington, Iowa, conveys the information that he has underwent an operation and has fair prospects for re covery. Dave was not over sanguine in his predictions, and his letter was not all oheerfullness, but we believe that his hopes are well founded. The streets of St. Edward are still dark. The modern electric light has not resumed its duty of lightning the way farer home. The modern electric light, like many other modern improvements refuses to work without pay, and the contract having expired between the village and the elecrio light and power company, pay has ceased because it BeemB that a renewal of the contract can. not be made on terms satisfactory to both the company and the village fath ers The board wants Mr. Smith to en large his plant and they assure him if be dees thusly they will reward him with a good contract. Mr. Smith on the other hand, claims that it costs many big dollate to enlarge a plant and that he wants to see the color of the contract in cold unfailing blaok and white before be enlarges the plant. This is as mnoh as we know about the matter and is on ly a guess at that. THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION. Some Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics. A doctor's first question when consult ed by a patient is, "Are yon bowels re gular?,' He knows that 98 per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. Thia condition poi sons the system with waste matter and causes accumulation of gaaea which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage, through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intest inal struotnre which weakens the whole system, and at beat only produces tem porary relief. The repeated nee of such treatments causes chronic irritation of the stomachs and bowels, dries and hardens their tisanes, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muclea and gener ally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes haa ahneet, if not fatal result. We haye a pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders ia general. We are so certain of ita great curative value thai we promise to return the purchaser's money ia every oaae where it fails to prodaoe entire satisfac tion. Thia remedy ia called Bexall BOUND TO KEEP THEIR WORD Amazing Obstinacy of Cornlshmen. for Which They Are Noted, Well Illustrated. The Cornish people are credited by H. Hudson, In "The Land's End," with spirit of stubbornness which at times becomes amusing. The author gives a characteristic incident The late royal academician, Hook, waa on the sands at Whitesand bay, working at a marine picture, when two natives came up and planted them selves just behind him. There was nothing the artist hated more than to be watched by strangers over his shoulders In this way, and pretty soon be wheeled round on them and angrily asked them how long they were going to stand there. His manner served to arouse their spirit, and they replied, brusquely, that they were going to stay as long as they thought proper. He Insisted on knowing Just how long they were going to stay there to his annoyance, and by and by, after some more loud and angry discussion, one of them Incautiously declared they would stand at the very spot for an hour. "Do you mean that?' shouted Hook, pulling out his watch. Yes, they re turned, they would not stir an inch from that spot for an hour. "Very well," he said, and-pulled up his easel; then marching on to a distance of 30 yards, he set up again and resumed his painting. And there, within 30 yards of his back, the two men stood for an hour and a quarter, for, as they did not have a watch, they were afraid of going away be fore the hour had expired. Then they marched off. REPARTEE IN SENATE HALLS Legislator from Nevada Rather Got the Worst of Conversational Exchange. Senator Newlands of Nevada, waa making a tariff speech, and in ita course referred to labor conditions in Pittsburg, where, he said, men were compelled to work seven days a week, 12 or 14 hours a day, Sunday and every other day. He drew a parallel between these conditions and the statement that protection helps the American worklngman and that Pitts burg is supposed to be the greatest beneficiary of the protective tariff system. Senator Oliver, newly from Pitts burg, waa restless during that re dtaL according to the Saturday Even ing Post Finally he jumped up and denied that any Pittsburg worklngmen were compelled to work on Sunday ex cept the 'blast furnace men. Then he said he had been in Nevada and that it was customary to work seven days a week there, there being no such thing as Sunday observance. "It Is a state," shouted Oliver, "where the faro table and the roulette table are a part of the furnlshment of every hotel In the state not of the barroom, but of the office part of the establishment and the guests cannot, get away from It I spent one day and it was the sorriest day I ever spent in the dfy which Is the sena tor's home. The only place where I could get away from the rattle of dice and the clink, clink of faro chips was by going to the Carnegie library, giv en to the city of Reno by one of Pitts burg's millionaires." That detained Newlands for an In definite period. Industrial Education. For training the workman the tech nical school can never supplant the workshop. The system that is like ly to give the best 'results is a com bination of part time apprenticeship and compulsory attendance .at tech nical schools. London Electrical Re view. A Strong Guaranty. "Are you sure those eggs are fresh?" asked the woman, eying them suspi ciously. "Yes, ma'am," replied the grocer, with emphasise "I guarantee those eggs. If any of them aren't good, I'll make 'em good!" Lippin cott's. NORTH Theatre One Solid Week COMMENCING Monday, Oct. 18th Itasttn Itmiy Kt. OPENING PLAY "SIGNAL OF LIBERTY" Big Drawing Contest Saturday Night Prices, 10c, 20c, 25c ATHLETICS AND "THE GATE." Some Possibility That the Latter la Out of Place on University Playing Fields. When one figures up how many pro fessors could be paid, or how many students assisted, if $107,397.20 could be divided up among them, the ex penditure of that sum at Yale last year on what are" called "the four major sports" seems large. That par ticular money, however, could hardly have been secured for any except the uses to which it was put, and as from those same sports there were receipts amounting to $110,986.34, the financial showing, as such, is satisfactory, or at least better than it would have been with the balance on the other side of the ledger.. The boys who han dled these big sum's, too, showed by keeping within their income that they are getting out of athletics a certain amount of business training. It is noticeable, looking at the mat ter from this point of view,4hat only football was profitable. Baseball comes out only a little better than even, but rowing and track sports had to be debited with heavy losses. The business man would therefore say, "Drop rowing and track sports, con tinue baseball under a suspended sen tence, and devote redoubled attention to football." That nothing of the kind will be done or even considered is proof that the whole idea of combln; ing business with sport Is somehow wrong, and that the amateurs who attempt it are verging toward profes sionalism so far as their financiering is sound. The Ideal method would be to make nothing at all out of sports, but to consider the money spent on them, not as a loss, but as the price of phys ical development and innocent amuse ment, both of which are worth buying and paying w.ell for. "The gate," some observers cannot help thinking, is out of place on university playing fields All the abuses and excesses of ath letics are due to it, or related to it and without It most of them would disappear. Barracks for Spanish Soldiers. The lot of the Spanish soldier, even In times of peace, is far from envi able, for his food. lodging and-cloth lng are of the poorest. As regards barracks the Spanish army Is certain ly the worst equipped in Europe, and this fact was practically admitted by Senor Sagasta when he was premier. A deputation waited on him to pro test against the unfair manner la which the law as to obligatory army service was enforced, so that any one with 50 to spare can evade this duty. The premier admitted that the prin ciple of redemption from military serv ice was illegal and that all healthy male adults should be required to serve; but he added, "the majority of our barracks are In such bad condfr tion that we cannot expect the sons ol respectable parents to live in them." Ready for More Business. Dean Ramsay has a story of that border hostility between English and Scots which used to go to halter lengths. A Scottish drover was re turning from the south in particularly bad humor with the English, having done poor business, when he saw In Carlisle a notice offering a reward of 50 to. any one who would volunteer for thfi unpopular task of hanging a condemned criminal. Seeing his chance to make up for his bad market, and comforting himself with the thought that he was unknown these he did the Job and got his fee. As he was leaving he was taunts as a beggarly Scot doing for money what no Englishman would. But he am swered with a cheerful grin: Til hang ye a at the price." Charley and His Hands. "You say your husband occasional ly consults a palmist?" vii " answered voune Mrs. Tofk Ins. "You see Charley plays cards a great deal." "But he isn't so superstitious as to pdnk he can foretell his luck?" "No. He takes it for granted that his luck will be bad. But he says if a worth the money to have somebody tell him he has a hand worth looking atM The Way of a Woman. The suffragette was practicing her address for the Woman's Rights club at her own little home. Her words were defiant "Women are the real rulers," she orated. "Men are marion ettes. Since the beginning of time woman has been the real power be hind "the throne; now she fearlessly demands her place onjthe throne. She is' triumphant; she defies the world; she" The doorbell rang. The man with the book agent manners bowed. "May I see the head of the house a mo ment?" "He is not at home," said the suf fragette, slamming .the door and re suming her oratory. "Let me. see, where was I?" Lippincott's. J . RlffiB BE1 ACCEPT VERDICT OF YEARS. And Thus, and Thus Only, Can a Worn an Be Said to Have the Best of Life. Woman has learned to claim 20 years more, at least, than used to be her portion. But always she must claim It oh conditions, and it Is for "ack of recognizing these that so many women who wish to hold their youth Srow old ungracefully. "Timely wise, accept the terms." This motto was adopted by a charm ing grandmother, In her forties. She tad made the truth of Emerson's wise saying her own, and made no vis ible effort after youth. There wa3 gray in her hair, and her mobile face had its lines but every line had been traced by smiles, not worries. Young in spirit dainty in dress, she entered into no competition with sweet six teen. She knew better. The people who like sweet sixteen do not like 46, however made up to resemble it. But it is equally true that the people who like 46 when it is charming, '!o not care for sweet sixteen to any ex tent On those terms, accepting them frankly, 46 can work out its own sal vation but only on those terms. That was her wisdom. A woman, indeed, who does not he long among her contemporaries, so to speak, can never have the best of life. A child who prefers older peo ple to playfellows has not an ideal childhood. A girl who is too serious and mature for her age loses the love ly comradeship of youth. And equal ly so, a woman who refuses to enter middle age with her contemporaries loses the pleasures of middle age, which are real pleasures, and is very apt to make herself ridiculous into the bargain. Youth of spirit can be had at 50, at 60, at 70, on the abid ing terms. Accepting life as it ripens is to ripen with it. and to cease to grow old by losing that fear of grow ing old, which is the most unhappy part of the passing of the years Montreal Herald. Sad!
