SOAfERS.

The weather has been dry and lot,
with no rain except Q slight shower or
two, but not enough to lay the dust
Grain under it's influence has ripened
suddenly, SO that most farmers have
been hurried in their harvesting, some
having to quit haying in order to Sc
cure their grain. The bindingof some
grain has been difficult on account Of
its brittleness, and some have worked
in the early morn and late eve to ac-
complish it. At present all kinds of
grain, With few exceptions, are cut
and considerable stacking done, some
not having much grain are through,
in a few days the balance will be
secured. Some haying will occupy
those having sloughs and upland, also
what tame grass is left for a week or
two to come.
On the Tuesday succeeding my last.
a long expected event took place in the
death of Miss Carpenter, sister Of Mrs.
Alison Felch, and living with her. She
had been i'll since December last, a.
great sufferer, and required the con-
slant attendance of one or more per-
sons. TEe funeral took place on
Thursday, the Rev. Mr.. Palmer of My
gatt's Corners officiating. She was in
TERED III our cemetery. On the day of
the funeral the oldest daughter Of
Squire Felch, Mrs. Rogers, died; some
what suddenly, though not unexpect-
edly, her disease for some time
having assumed serious aspect. She
leaves a daughter and son 10 mourn
her loss in addition to relatives. The
funeral services took place the next
day and she also was inferred in our
cemetery.
Mrs. Eaton of, Beloit, dropped in
suddenly on her Somers friends last
week and is making short visits among
them.
An elderly lady going to call on a
neighbor last week, whilst going
through another neighbor's yard,
caught her foot in a croquet arch and
fell receiving severe injuries in her
arm and shoulders. When last heard
from she was recovering.
The Rev. Parsons gave notice that
there VIII be no services two weeks
from yesterday at the Presbyterian
Church on account of his absence.
Farmers are and have been unusu-
ally busy; some being through harvest
are having a respite, others are look
ing forwards anXiously for 1t. Some
have to drive cattle to water on ac-
count Of drought. The game law hay

they do not expect to see their city

A AMERICANS can now breathe freely,
for it has been proved that the flag
which Key had under his eye when he
wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" was
the yeritable bunting that had f1oated
SO detiantly during the bombardment
of Fort McHenry, and not brand new
streamer that had been flung to the
breeze by Major Armistead in homer of
the birth OF his daughter, "HistOricus"
- and when q man assumes that title
he may fairly be presumed to know
whereof he Writes-assures the Balti-
more american that the late Mrs. Ap-
pleton, owner of the poetic flag. was
not born in Fort McHenry, mid the
rockets red glare, The bombs bursting
in air." but in her grandfather's man
sion in South Baltimore; and further
more, that while there was ioy in the
house Of Armistead over the advent of
the child, q new flag was not hoisted
over the fort, and the yeritable Stars
and Stripes, which had not gone down
during the bombardment, caught the
eye and inspired the heart of the poetic
Key as he trod the deck of the Minden
during that eVentful night. After the
death OF Major Armistead the flag
passed into the hands of his widow,
Mrs. Louisa Armistead, who died in
December, 1861, and who, by her will,
lett it to her daughter, Mrs. Appleton,
as ",The Star-Spanglad Banner which
tloated over Fort McHenry during the
bombardment in 1914" these being the
words Of the will.

The progress made in ocean steam
navigation is far more surprising than
most people are aware. AT the present
day fifteen times as much freight can
be carried across the Atlantic in one

less than one and q half times as much
fuel, as in 1910. This has been shown
by q comparison of the data of record
ed averages of the steamship Britain

Nicely Taken In.

A poorly dressed woman appeared
before u well.known and highly rs-
spected priest in Vienna. aud told him
with tears that her husband. . silver
smith. was greatly given TO drink. that
he beat her aud the children daily. and
neglected all the duties Of husband
and father.
She asked the good man 10 talk 10 her
husband, and endeavor 10 make him
see things in better light.
The priest promised 10 see the work
man, and dismissed the woman.
She straightway went to silver
smiths and ordered him to go the next
morning. at eleven O'Clock. to the
priests house. representing that she
Was his cook. and that he wished TO
buy . snuff.box.
The silversmith appeared next morn
ing punctually at the stated time with
about dozen silver snuif.boxes.
The woman. who awaited him in the
hall. took the goods from him. and en-
tering the priests room. said:
"Sir, my husband Is here"
"Tell him TO come in." said the
priest; whersupon the woman left the
room and bads the silvsrsmith enter.
The good father proceeded to address
him in . long sermon. saying a great
deal about drunkenness. wife-beating.
and 10 forth.
The sil,ersmith was at first aston
ishsd. then Indignant. and eventually
the mystery was solved.
The woman did not wait for the con-
clusion OF the interview. and the snuff
boxes have not since been heard Of.

The particulars of serious affair at
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, near Byran, Texas, have just
had been stolen from the room of a
cadet named Whitesides, and another
cadet, seventeen or eighteen years of age,
was suspected of the theft. One light
last week Whitesides and two comrades
induced the suspected cadet to accom-
pany them in walk, and, after they had
got short distance from the College
grounds, one of the party suddenly
drew pistol, and, presenting it at his
head, ordered him to stand. They then
told him he must confess. The young
man would not confess, but, on the con-
trary, declared his innocence, where
upon they tied rope around his neck
and hanged him under a tree. Then he
was lowered to the ground, and again
ordered to confess, but, as he again pro-
tested his innocence, he was second
time drawn up. When the rope was
slackened after the second hanging, the
body sank 10 the ground. seemingly
dead. One of the three young ruffians
became alarmed at what had been done,
and, supposing the victim dead, ran
away, but the other two remained with
the young man until he recovered con-
sciousness. Then, by threats, they ex-
acted from him promise that he would
never speak of what they had done.
Disregarding the promise, however, he
went straight to President Cartwright
and told him what had been done. The
President called meeting of the faculty,
and the three perpetrators were promptly
expelled. They started for home. The
authorities of Washington County
learned of the hanging, and at once took
steps to arrest the youths. Whitesides
was arrested at the depot in Hampstead
and taken back to Bryan. At last &C
counts he was in the Bryan Jail

A remarkable change of fortune,
both good and bad, is reported from
Cologne, Germany. In 1852 two young

nesses against them were a police in

shot himself; the police inspector also
committed suicide; and the constable,

Once upon q time an exquisite trav-
eler asked a Spartan general why there
were no walls around Sparta. Pointing
to his battalions, drawn up in martial ar
ray, the general replied: There is
Sparta's wall, and every man is brick"
Therefore, when we wish to speak in a
highly commendatory manner of our
friend, we have classic authority for
calling him "a brick" We do not
know just what connection this. has with
:" a brick in ones hat" but presume it
has some.
When our business enterprises are
not as productive of asspleasing results
as we had anticipated, we, say they do
not ''pan out well. .saIs not that ex-
preston as classic as Greek mythology,
in which we read of the god, Pan?
Perhaps we can not always find such
high authority for our elegant American
classics, but it must exist, and our fail
lack of penetration.
This style of linguistic adornment is
very popular.
When we observe Miss Fortuna upon
the street, arraved in her new walking

When the bootblack energetically ca

When Johnnie becomes too boisterous

The Pby,IoIosy Of the Liver

the liver is the largest secreting organ in
the human body, and the bile which it Sc.
cretes is more liable to vitia,ion and misdi-
rection from its proper channels than any
other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the
bilious, however, there is an upfailing
source of relief from liver complaint
namely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, med
icine which for over quarter of century
has been achieving thorough cures of the
above mentioned ailments, fever and ague,
dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic
and kidney affections, and disorders involv-
ing loss of nervous vigor. 1t is, moreover,
protection to thousands of persons residing
in districts of country where that dire
seourge is prevalent. As a remedy adapted
to the medicinali requirement of families,
it is supremely desirable, and as a means OF
| fortifying debilitated system, it is thor
! oughly to be depended upon.
