Number of Light Consumers
Largely Increased
ll
This week we are able to state that a still
greater number of light consumers have
taken advantage of the
Low Flat Rates
we are offering, and that we now have
three-fourths of all the light consumers in
the valley. Naturally those requiring elec
tric energy are looking at the matter from
a simple business point of view and want
to remain with the company which is in the
field PERMANENTLY. The contract we
are now offering you at the Lowest Possi
ble Rates is the one for you to take advan
tage of. It is Up to You. Sign with us
now. Figure it out for yourself and stick
with the company that is here to stay,
and is giving you rates almost on your
own terms.

from tbe sound of firing coming from

roaring, one great thundering, tbut

not tell one sound from another.

Who's Who and What's What?
The Big' Minstrels
A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.
Nine master tuusons who were en
gaged In building a citadel in the time
of the Voivold Neagoe found on re
turning to their work each morning
that the portion of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
en to pieces during the night and was
lying lu a heap of ruins In the ditch.
Mnnol of Cur ten, the head mason, In
formed his comrades one moruliig that
a voice from heaven had warned him
In his sleep the nitit before that their
labors would continue to come to
naught unless they all swore on that
very morning to immure lu the struc
ture the first woman, be It wife, moth
er, daughter or sister, who should ar
rive with the morning meal of one or
either of them. They all took the oath,
and the Inst man had hardly been
sworn when Manol's own wife appear
ed, carrying her husband's breakfast.
The oatb was kept, and the woman,
known In the legend as "Flora of the
Fields," was murdered aud her blood
and llesh incorporated with the wall of
masonry.
A curious practice of the Bulgarian
masons (the above scene Is laid In llul
garb), which survives to this day, tes
tifies to the vltullty of the legend. To
Insure the solidity of the house they
build they measure with a reed the
shallow of the first person who passes
after the digging of the foundation
has been completed. When the foun
dation Is commenced this reed Is burled
under the first rock, usually tbe coruer
stoue. The Crop Failed.
The sharp wlttedness of the Rus
slan gypsies Is Illustrated by a story
told In the Journal of the Gypsy Lore
Society. A gypsy Induced a farmer to
Join him In sowing money, promising
a largo crop of rubles. Having fltvtt
sown a comparatively small amount,
they got back each morning their cap
ital with some addition, much to the
delight of the farmer. Then they sow
ed a big sum and got back-nothing.
The fanner began to blame the gypsy
for advising him to sow money. The
gypsy answered, "Well, It's uobody's
fault that there was a sharp frost ear
ly (his uiorulng."
The Ruling Passion.
Mrs. J. I.. Story in her reminiscences
tells of a lady relative who had all
her life been nfrnld'of damp sheets.
When she was dying Mrs. Story en
tered the room, to find the fireplace
barricaded with a large assortment of
bed linen. She was having her wind
ing sheet warmed.
"I never have lain In damp bed
clothes while I was alive," said the
old lady lu a feeble whlier,,"and I'm
not golug to do It when I'm dead."
A Philanthropist.

Place For Footprints.
"1 shall leave footprints on the sands
of time," said the Idealist.

tical person. "Nobody will want to go
round looking for footprints. What we
want to do for posterity Is to help build
tome good roads." Washington Star.
