An Idea

In regard to Clothing may
not be amiss at this season
and the better it is the more
likely you will take to it.
Although some merchants
believe the time to make
profits is only the present
yet we look just as much at
the future, and endeavor to
prove to our customers that
they are to be benefited in
every transaction equally as
much as ourselves. How will
we do this? Clothing, like
everything else (material not
considered), is made in so
many ways that prices vary
even in the same goods
This can be- accounted for in
the trimmings and makeup
both matters of no small i'm
portance to take into consid-
Grafton when selecting your
winter purchases. In order
to place before our custom
e-s such clothing only as we
can fully recommend,w 1--we have
not only kept our entire
force OF hands together dur
ing the dull season, but have
a stock of ready-made gar
ments, which is far superior
to ordinary clothing. By max
tng our own goods, we also
make it an inducement for
good hands to work for us
by giving them steady work
all the year. We cordially
invite you to examine our
stock, take into consideration
trimming, make and style,
and we will leave the matter
Of prices entirely with your
judgment. For boys and
children, we are prepared to
show an unusually large as
sortment of all the latest
styles, properly cut,well trim
med and nicely made.

The Spread of LeprOsy.

The attention of prominent physi-
clans is being given to the increase of
that terrible scourge, the leprosy. II
appears from figures given that this
loathsome disease has increased in this
country nearly seventy-fve per cent.
within the last eight years, and is still
spreading, while no definite steps have
been taken to stop or check it. This
disease is the one which the Hebrews
considered above all as a terrible plague.
All who were afflicted with it were
ostracised and banished from the cities
the wilderness. Even houses where
he people affected had lived where
urned.
The disease has been spread in this
country mostly by the Chinese. Though
it was known and dreaded in California
as far back as 1945, in Mexico it was
occasionally met in some out-of-the-way
place where the unfortunate sufferer
had gone to die. A case was also occa-

The Chickadee.

He is, par excellence, the bird of the
merry heart. There is notion current,
to be sure, that all birds are merry but
that is one OF those secondhand opin.
ions which a man who begins to observe
for himself soon finds it necessary to
give up. With many birds life is a
hard struggle. Enemies are numerous,
and the food supply is often too scanty.
Of some species it is probable that very
few die in their beds. But the chicka-
dee seems to be exempt from all fore
bo1ings. His coat is thick, his heart is
brave, and, whatever may happen,
something will be found to eat. ''Sufii-
Gent unto the day is the evil thereof
is his creed, which he accepts, not ''for
substance of doctrine" but literally.
No matter how bitter the wind OF how
deep the snow, you will never find the
chickadee, as we say, under the weather.
1t is this perennial good humor, 1 sup
pose, which makes other birds 50 fond
of his companionship and their exam
pie might well be needed by persons
who suffer from moods of depression,
Such unfortunates could hardly do
better than to court the society of the
joyous tit. His whistle and chirps, his
graceful feats Of climbing and hanging,
and withal his engaging familiarity
(for, Of course, such good nature as his
could not consist with suspiciousness)
would most likely send them home it a
more Christian frame. The time will
come, we may hope, when doctors will
prescribe bird-gazing instead of blue
pill. To illustrate the chickadee's trust
fullness, 1 may mention that friend
of mine captured one in butterhy-net,
and carrying him into the house, let
him loose in the sitting-room. The
little stranger was at home Immediately,
and seeing the window full of plants,
proceeded to go over them carefully,
picking off the lice with which such
window-gardens are always more or less
infested. A little later he was taken
into my friends lap, and soon he
climbed up to his shoulder, and, after
hopping about for few minutes on
his coat collar, he selected comforta-
BILE resting place, tucked his head under
his wing and went to sleep, and slept
on undisturbed while carried from one
room to another. Probably the chica-
dee's nature is not of the deepest. 1
have seen him when his joy rose to
ecstacy. Still his feelings are not shall
low, and the faithfulness of the pair to
each other and to their off spring is of
the highest order. The female has
sometimes to be taken off the nest, and
even to be held in the hand, before the
eggs can be examined.

intent to do wrong | forged the name
of Charles Ellison TO the check which
he uttered. He did not know that it
WAS forgery
"Youln cried the astounded magis-
trate. .sYou a forger--impossible."
"Nothing is impossible in these days,
SIR said the white-haired old man,
sternly. 81 alone am guilty. My brother
is innocent" MT
So stoutly did he aver that he was
the forger that the magistrate reluc-
family issued warrant for his arrest
and at the same time wrote an order TO
the taller for the release of Joseph
Brisben.
''My constable will be in soon," said
the magistrate but the old hero picked
up both the papers.
81 will not trouble him, -" he said. 81
will execute both the papers"
And he did. Handing the jailer
both papers he explained their meaning
thus:
'They have made mistake. 1t is l
who am to be your prisoner. My brother
is innocent" ~ ava
Accordingly Joseph Brisben was re-
leased and returned to the farm. John
remained at jail a prisoner. When the
extraordinary affair became known,
several prominent citizens offered to go
on the accused mans bond, but he
would not accept their kind offices.
At the trial he pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to fifteen years hard labor
in the penitentiary. Joseph came to see
him before he was removed to Frank
fort, but their interview was a private
one.
Joseph Brisben remained at the farm,
but he was changed man. From the
day of his release from jail down to
the time of his death, he was never
known to touch card, and drop Of
liquor never passed his lips. Last
April he died, and his confession, duly
