FILIBUSTERING TO STOP ; "
The Government will no longer sell discarded army rifles. Orders lhave besn issued at the War Department stopping the practice of selling these arms
claiming that cheap revolutions in neighboring countries have been encouraged by the easy manner in which it has been possible to purchase old arms of
the United States. The remaining 9000 rifles not sold at auction will be confined to the merciless flames of a hot coal fire.
The Government standard center fire 45-70 cartridges for these rifles will be carried and handled at all times by us at 60c per box of 20 shells.

Vagaries of Memory.
The vagaries of the old man's mem
ory are indeed curious. Lord Hough
ton told Sir Mountstuart Grant Dull
that he had once been present when
Lord Lj-ndhurst and Dr. Lushington
were asked what was the most inter
esting thing that they remembered.
"Oh." said Lyndhurst. "undoubtedly
the day which I spent with Washing
ton at Mount Vernon." "Oh," said
Lushington, "undoubtedly the week
v.-hich I spent with Burke at Beacons
field." Naturally they were asked to
tell something of what had passed on
these occasions, but neither of them
could remember anything whatever.
There is much to be said for assisting
.the memory of gocd things with a
diary, as Sir Mountstuart himself did
London Chronicle.
(" Paid For a Peep at Royalty.
In the eighteenth century the Lon
doner could look at royalty on Sunday
for a modest fee. In a guide to Lon
don, published in 17G". it was said, "At
St. James' chnpcl royal by knocking at
the side door and slipping a shilling
for each person into the hand of the
verger who opens it you may have ad
mittance and stand during divine serv
ice in the presence of their majesties,
and for a shining each persou more
you may sit i:i their royal presence,
not in pews, but in turnup seats on the
Bide of them."
A Vague Idea.
During his first visit to a farm little
Willie came into the house crying
softly.
"What is the matter, dear?" asked
his mother.
"I went out to see the cows, and
they didn't give nothing but milk'
Bobbed the boy.
"What did you expect?" Inquired the
mother.
"I'm not sure what I expected," re
plied Willie, "but. mother, where does
beef tsa come from?" Judge.
A Hint.
"Yes," said the young student
thoughtfully, "when I get interested in
a subject I never stop until I have em
braced it thoroughly."
"That's nice," was the hesitating re
ply. "Do do you think I'm an inter
esting subject?"

SHOWED HIS TICKET.
An Obliging Passenger and a Cranky
Station Master.
J., cranky station master while exam
ining tickets came across a cattle deal
er, well known In the district, who
held a season ticket. The station mas
ter, being aware of this, usually pass
ed without troubling him to show it.
On this occasion, however, he order
ed him in a not very polite manner to
produce it, adding iu a severe tone:
"Mind, I want to see it every time
you stop at this station."
Of course the ticket was produced,
and the official passed on, looking very
important and self satisfied.
A few days later as the early morn
ing mail train drew up at the platform
at about 3 o'clock a passenger accost
ed the solitary porter on duty and
asked peremptorily for the station
master.
"He's in bed, sir," replied the porter.
"Tell him I want him," said the pas-
The porter disappeared and after j according to planB and epeciSca
some delay returned, closely followed tions on file with the County
by tno station master, wuo was audibly
grumbling at being brought out of bed
in the cold.
The latter then found himself con
fronted by his old friend the cattle
dealer, who handed him his season
ticket, politely asking hira to examine
It, at the same time reminding him j

PERPETUAL YOUTH.
It Can Only Be Imparted to tha Body
Through the Mind.
The elixir of youth lies in the mind
or nowhere. You cannot be young by
trying to appear so. by dressing youth
fully. You must first get rid of the
last vestige of thought, of belief, that
you are aging. As long as that is in
mind cosmetics and youthful dress will
amount to very little In changing your
appearance. The conviction must first
be changed; the thought which ha3
produced the aging condition must be
reversed.
If we can only establish the perpet
ual youth mental attitude, so that we
feel young, we have won half the bat
tle against old age. De sure of this,
that whatever you feel regarding your
age will be expressed in your body.
Nothing else more effectually retards
age than keeping in mind the bright,
cheerful, optimistic, hopeful, buoyant
picture of youth in all Its splendor,
magnificence; the alluring picture of
the glories which belong to youth
youthful dreams, ideals, hopes and all
the qualities which belong to young
life.
One great trouble with us is that our
imaginations ago prematurely. The
hard, exacting conditions cf cur mod
ern, strenuous life tend to harden and
dry up the brain and nerve cells and
thus seriously Injure the power of the
Imagination, which should be kept
fresh, buoyant, e!aslL Success Maga

THE BANK AND
Not long- ago, tliero many towns that did not
have a single bank. Today, banks have become
so important in everyday life that when a new
town is started the schoolhouse and the bank are
among the first'institutions.
Along with education goes the bank, hand in
hand. The people consider the service of Ihe
bank as important find necessary as the school
house, coming to the bank as regularly as the
children go to school. The bank contributes to
the future success of men and women as the school
house does to the preparation of the children for
successful lives.
The benefits of our service add to the up
building of the community and surrounding ter
ritory. Our service is adjustable to the different
needs of the people. As the children go to their
teacher for personal assistance, YOU can cometo
us for individual help in financial matters.
We are as deeply interested in your business
success as the teacher is in the advancement of
the pupils. Our service and benefits areas freely
given to the people as instruction is to the school
children.
