When to Go Home.
From the Blufftou, Ind., Banner:
"When tired out, go home. When
you want consolation, go
When you want fun, go
When you want to show
that you have reformed, go
and let your family get aquainted
with the fact. Wheu you want to
show your self at your best go home
and do the act there. When
you feel like being extra liberal go
home and practice on your wife and
children first. Wheu you want to
shine with extra brilliancy go home
and light up the whole household."
To which we would add, when you
have a bad cold go home and take

Mr. Kpps of the St. Johus Elec
tric company returned from Cress
well recently where he has been
awarded the contract for installing
the electric light system for that
booming little city. Mr. Kpps
speaks very highly of the progress
ive spirit of that little berg. This
firm of electricians are hustlers and
are reaching out after all the trade
they can get. The good thing
about it is that they give first class
satisfaction wherever they work.
The skating rink is being put iu
first class shape for dancing and
skating by the enterprising mana
ger. He has contracted with C.
W. Cramer of Portland to smooth
the surface with an electric floor
surfacing machine, a contrivance
which looks like a street roller on
a small scale. This machine is
operated by electricity and travels
from one side of the room to the
other with a sanded roller in con
tact with the floor all the time.
This cuts off the inequalities leav
ing the surface as smooth and shin
ing as the top of Sam Downey's
think tank. The riuk will be in
splendid shape for the dance Satur
day night. There will be no skat
iug this week.
It is on Mausfield, the whisker
sharp, this time and it cost him
$1.50 besides no telling how many
cigars before he gets over it. Mon
day morning he wished to get iuto
the new location where he ts soon
to open up his palatial whisker
loint, but could not find his keys.
He chased into all the surrounding
offices, accusing everyone he met
with being the felonious possessor
of those keys, or accessories after
or before the fact. He could not
eet any clue to the keys, however.
At an expense of $1.50 he had the
old lock taken off and two new
keys fitted. About an hour after
ward be put his band into the
pocket of his office uniform jacket
and, behold! there reposed in their
innocence the offending keys, just
where the ower had placed them
the Saturday night before.

How Dipthcria is Contracted.
One often hears the expression,
"My child cought n severe cold
which devclocd into diphtcria,"
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic
ularly susceptible to the wandering
dipthcria germ. When Chamder
latu'u Cough Remedy is given it
quickly cures the cold and lessens
the danger of diptheriu or any other
germ disease being contracted. For

There is a new store building
being erected near Cedar Park but
we have not learned by whom. It
does not indicate any very great
stringency iu money matters iu St.
Johns. The fact that the building
permits being issued receutly are
for buildings costiug $1000 and up
ward indicates that there is plenty
of "dough" with us anyway.
We wish to call special at'cutiou
to the advertisement of the Prall
Mercantile Co. iu this issue. Mr.
Prall has nothing but the newest of
goods, and is receiving new ones
constantly, and is giving our
people the advantage of spot cash
buying. There are no bad debts
his patrons have to make good,
He is working on the quick sales
and small profit plan and therefore
is able to sell as cheaply or even
cheaper than the same goods are
sold in Portlaud. We thought Mr.
Prall was a married man until the
other day when we asked him to
bring Mrs. Prall out to a social
function. Mr. Prall remarked that
lie was just looking for Mrs. Prall.
He had read so much about the
rosy cheeked Oregon girl that he
concluded to combine pleasure with
business and see if he could not
find Mrs. Prall out here in Oregon.
Of course this was not for publica
tion, but it accidentally slipped
through our hands.
