«•»4 ♦ ^ iit «i« 4W * *».„ ‘Vv'rVV'V The Abolition of Slavery The Electric Washing machine is the proclamation of freedom from the slavery of the washtub. Modern invention has contributed nothing so beneficial to womankind as the Electric Washer. The rubbing over a washtub is banished. The tiresome wringing of clothes with the hands is gone to stay. * The Electric washer does the work while the mistress of the home can engage in pleasanter and less tiring endeavors. * The all-metal-washer of the oscillating or swinging type has proved to be the most effective method for removing soil and dirt from the clothing. The swinging motion of the tub forces the hot soapy water through the clothes which gives the soap full opportunity to dissolve the dirt and grease in the fabric. Then when the water rushes away in the opposite direction a vacuum suction is developed which completely extracts the dirt The rubbing of clothes on a corrugated surface is unnecessary as the action of the soap and water passing through them is the real cleansing process. The swinging wringer, electrically driven, does away with one of the hard duties incident to washing. We carry a line of the best washers manufactured and sell to patrons of our service cheaper than one can buy elsewhere. We shall be pleased to show you our washers and will make terms to suit the convenience of those who buy of us. ■3* , ■■.■■■■ The cost for electricity to operate a washing m achine is neglible.

We have failed to notice any call Car a reunion of the Johnson family since Jack came across from Mexico. Chautauqua going, coupled with the antics of a balky linotype machine, has cut the editorial note a bit short this week. It seems too bad that Thomas U p to n , the game old sport, could not win that cup this time, for he plays the game like a hero. The increasing number of fatal accidents at railroad crossings tend to hasten the day when practically all H'ich crossings will be made over head or underneath the tracks. The murder of Sheriff Til Taylor In the Jail-break at Pendleton has aroused the whole state, for Taylor was widely known as a peace officer, and there will be great dis appointment if the guilty parties succeed in making their escape. Capper's Weekly Is authority for the statement that while sugar is being sold in Detroit at 32 cents a pound the pries Just across the harder in Canada Is only 10 cents.

WON FAME EARLY IN UFE Precocious Yputh. Hava Given to the World Many Works That Are Classed as Remartoeble. Mile. Germaine Sabi In, the French girl of ten summers, who wrote a novel o f which the critics declared “ Victor Hugo might be proud,” had many pred ecessors In precocity whom she her self might almost envy. London An swers states. Torquato Tasso was famous through out Italy before he was nine years old, an accomplished Greek and Latin scholar and the author of clever and polished verses. At eight Louis de Bourbon, prince of Conde. was a per fect Latin scholar; three years later he published a work on rhetoric, and at seventeen he was appointed gov ernor of Burgundy. Fenelon displayed so much precocity that he won fame as a preacher of rare eloquence when he was but fifteen years o f age. Pas cal wrote treatises on acoustics at twelve and at sixteen be published his treatise on conic sections, which Des cartes refused to believe was not the work of a great master. Of more recent and familiar feats of precocity It may be sufficient to mention that John Stuart Mill was studying Greek at three, had practical ly mastered the language at seven and a year later was acting as schoolmas ter to his younger brothers and sis ters; while, give but one other ex ample. John Ruakln actually produced a manuscript work In three volumes before he reached his seventh birth day. to :?r Punch lie exuumeu wuler coioi sketches. Late in life he began writing novels. “ Peter Ibbetson” and “Trilby” were especially well received. ‘Trilby” was dramatised and produced In 1893. a year before Du Maurler's death, by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Lately It has been revived with immense suc cess. Like his pictures, his writings were graceful, humorous, too fanciful to be true, yet written with an air of great truth. Squirrel Will Put Up Fight When surprised in the woods, the behavior of the fox squirrel is quite different from that of the gray species. As a rule the former will put forth his best endeavor to reach some hollow in a tree, and into this he quickly scrambles to avoid his enemy, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. One ibay often see them stretched out on a limb as flat as possible, and they will, thinking themselves unpercelved, remain a long time in that position as quiet as a mouse. If cornered and there la no hole handy for him to get Into, and the limb he is on la too small to hide him, he will begin barking at the hunter or his dog in the most defiant manner possible. It Is aald that a fox squirrel can beat off a small dog, and will put up a hard fight if one attacks him. FORBIDDEN TO WORK SUNDAY And especially that auto norn. Ban Placed on Various Tradesmen and Laborers by Old British Laws, Seldom Obeyed. Now and again we read of a trades man who. to help his own pocket and oblige certain customers, opens his place of business on Sunday and trades. Some tradesmen have been summoned and fined scores of tiroes, according to London Answers. The Lord’s day observance8 act for bids—note the selection—any trades man. workman, artificer or laborer to work on Sunday, except for works of charity or necessity. Further, the above four classes are not to use any boat, or barge, or sell goods, cooked food excepted, under a penalty of 3 shillings. If a horse denier sella a horse on Sunday he cannot. In law, sue for Its price; hut If neither party to the equine transaction is a horse dealer, then the contract Is perfectly good! And If any ordinary trader sells goods on a Sunday In the ordinary way of hla business he cannot only be summoned, but if he has given credit he cannot sue the purchaser! If, how ever, the purchaser keeps the Sunday- bought goods, and afterward—on a week day—promises to pay for them, then he can, on default, be sued. But—a wonderful act—farmers, at torneys, surgeons, cab drivers, coach proprietors and Jews are exempt. Why the act. which we see broken In hundred* of places each Sunday, is not often Invoked. Is because proceed ings cannot be taken without the writ ten consent of the chief constable of the district, two J. P.’s, or a stipen diary magistrate. Many decline to move in the matter. Otherwise, tradesmen, workmen, artif icers and laborers would have a hot time. Professional men would be ex empt There seems - to be keen rivalry among dealers to market the horn that can split the most ears, as you can see by a few ads which I quote: ^Loudest signal of Ita kind." “ Hus the quick, snappy shriek." “Clears the way half a mile ahead." “ It makes the pedestrian Jump.” "Jolts the air with a threat of dan ker.” “ Ha* a piercing get-out-of-the-way sound." _ The Flag of the Mayflower. The proposed celebration In Man chester of the tercentenary of the sailing of the Mayflower may render It of Interest to direct attention to a curious anachronism. In the magnifi cent fresco In the palace of Westmin ster, In which the departure of the Pilgrim Fathers la depicted, the May flower Is flying a Union Jack. The Union Jack, aa every one knows, did not come Into existence tfll the pass ing of the first Act o f Union In 1800— one hundred and eighty years after the departure of the Pilgrim fathers One of the formalities connected with the Irish Union was a new standard combining the three orders of St George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick, which was hoisted In the capitals of England. Scotland and Ireland.—Man chester Onardian. There can be no permanent success In the world of art without a deep soul development. One goes to a concert not so much to be thrilled or startled but to he soothed. An artist may strike a phenomenal or unusual note which may give a momentary thrill, but which when heard once or twice no longer Interests, If that la all the artist haa to contribute to his art Where, however, there Is spiritual and ethical development behind that alnglng. the art carries a new message. If a sing er—any man for that matter—Is kind ly. thoughtful and unselfish It shows In his life and actions, and to an on- NOISE HARSH AND CONSTANT thought of degree In the quality of hla voice, and consciously or unconsciously Impossible for Any One to Eecape he draws men to him. — Morgan Kingston.

PREYS ON HARMFUL RODENTS According to This Writer, the Owl la Really a Good Friend of the Agriculturist Superstition still clings to tho owl. due largely to Ignorance and lack of discrimination. When twilight falls the owl comes forth from some remote recess where It has spent the day In sleep, and ut tering a peevish cry. hurries out upon Its foraging expedition. As the tired farmer Is lost In refreshing sleep, this bird, against which the hand of man has been raised for centuries, com mences Its beqfflrla) work which only ceases when the first rays of the morning sun come slanting over the hilltops, blinding its eyes and, sending It quickly to cover. The great orbs of the owl are re markably developed and are keenest In the early hours of the night and morning, when many harmful rodents are most active. Mm-veloun, Indeed. Is the sight that enables It to strike the tiny mouse In the dsrkness. Owls are the natural check upon this multitude, and thus are of Ines timable value to agriculture. From an economic standpoint, it would be hard to find a more useful bird.—Low Angeles Times. England's Gleaning Ball. Oleanlng went out of fashion with the disappearance of the old windmills and watermills, because cottagers can no longer get their gleaned corn ground. But the “harvest hell," which notifies the villagers when they may begin gleaning anij when they must cease, Is still rung in some rural par ishes within reach of London. At one place the “ gleaning hell" rings from the tower of the parish church at 9 a. m. and 3 p. m. as soon as the har vest Is sufficiently advanced. One I penny Is paid to the hell ringer by each family that gleans, so he can hardly; be called a profiteer. Bird« That Dig. We are not accustomed to think of bifds as burrowing animals, hut the puffin nnswers to that description. It Is a chunky little fowl, less than a foot high, with a large and powerful beak. For a home, It ecratehee a hole In the ground sometimes as mnch ns four feet deep. To capture a puffin one must go digging. It Is rather a Job, and. Inasmuch as the bird bites a*4 clews fiercely, one la likely to suffer in the process. Thus the crea ture has maintained lu numbers on many a lonely rookery, where other speclee of wild fowl have been killed off and exterminated.—Philadelphia Ledger.
