The distribution of Risdon & Tay-
lor's prizes took place at Citizens Hall
On Tuesday evening. The hall was
filled with interested spectators, and
while many were disappointed at not
being the fortunate ones, none could
claim the drawing was unfair and all
seemed satisfied with the result. The
numbers were placed in a Ross''
churn and thoroughly mixed, small
boy was selected from the spectators
who, after being blindfolded, drew the
numbers. No. 1892 being the first
drawn, was entitled to the gold watch
and belonged to Mr.. James Scott 1875
was the next drawn, and entitled the
holder, Mrs. Wagner, to the hanging
lamp; No. l5S, held by d V. Dawley
took the knives 2s77, held by Mr.. F
Merrill, took the Student lamp, and
R. l.. Phelps carried off the castor with
number 1865.

While Mr.. Edward Knapp and wife
We're at Church last Sunday evening
their residence on East Main street
was burglarized, the thieves effecting
an entrance by breaking light of
glass in the kitchen door on the east
side of the house and reaching through
unfastened the door which was both
locked and bolted. Once in, the ras-
Gals rummaged the house from bottom
to top. Fortunately they obtained but
little plunder, revolver, cigar case,
about half dozen cigars. and quar-
ter of minee pie being the only arti.
cles missed. These bold burglars
assume big risks for so little booty.

Now then, here is nut for the moral
people of this community to crack. A
prominent member of one of our
Churches went into VanNess' store the
other day and seemed astonished at
the large crowd of customers he met
there. He walked through the store
to where VanNess was busy and said !:
Well, Van, how can you have such
a crowd around you without going into
the lottery business ?" Vans answer
was: " MIR. II. that is just the reason I
have 81 l rye crowd, for peop'e know
they eau rely upon my goods, and not
have to pay an extra price to buy some

doubt his manner of doing business

Good Walks.

There is nothing so much needed about
many houses as good walks in paths
that must be used daily. There is
hardly an excuse for not having them,
when either brick, gravel, or timber can
be had. A good walk through muddy
yards can be easily and cheaply made
by placing poles side 10y side, short
distance apart, and then filling the in
tervening space with gravel, or with
broken corn-cobs, or with sawdust
Oak planks will last many years, if
turned over occasionally, and this also
counteracts warping. One of the best
walks through level barnyard can be
made by cutting off short pieces from
logs, a foot or more in diameter, and
setting them upon end in shallow
trench. Such walk from the barn to
the kitchen will always be clean, and
there will be less to disturb the temper
of the women folks of the household
to say nothing of the good effect upon
the men folks who take pleasure in
Tightening the labor required to keep
everything neat and tidy within doors.

Beauty and Genius.

"Then you rate beauty as valuable
stage quality" said the reporter.
Here Miss Morris looked serious and
said: Il once told little English
actress, friend of mine, who was to
make her first appearance in America
in an unimportant part, how / had
suffered on account of attacks on my
personal appearance. As she expressed
a disbelief in the possibility OF such a
thing, / said: L will prophesy just
what will be said of you on your first
appearance. There will be few lines
commenting on your personal appear
ance, and, at the very end, the critic
will say word of your art. but your
body will come first It was just as ]
said
Beauty carries long way on the
stage as elsewhere; we have shining
examples of it daily, and the homefy
women must suffer everything in the
way of jeers. No matter what the art,
the critic first looks at the presence.
1t is difficult for a conscientious student
to accept this, but few years of con-
slant repetition forces it forward. >

Write for the Papers.

We have heretofore spoken of the
benefit accruing to farmers from their
recorded experiences. The best agri-
cultural journals are those that consist
almost wholly of short letters from ac-
tual farmers, dealing with the little de-
tails of farm management. A seeming
ly trivial matter may lead to something
of much account, and if you hit on
something that saves labor, betters
crops, or that differs materially from
others practice, send q short account
of it to some paper. At least, make q
note ont" and tell it at your grange or
club. -Ldnsipg Republican.

Lincoln as a Wrestler.

OF the many stories and incidents
told and written illustrative of the char
acter and career of Abraham Lincoln,
his abilities as a wrestler have never
been brought to light. Lincoln really
prided himself upon being a good
wrestler, as evidenced by story the
writer has often heard related by Maj.
Walker, of Lewiston, ILL.,:
II was q member of the Illinois Leg
islature (says Walker) in 1888, at which
time the State capital was located at
Vandalia. One day while Lincoln (who
was also member) and 1 were sitting
together engaged in friendly bantering
conversation relative to our athletic ac-
complishments, Abe boastfully said, as
he struck his knee with his clenched
fist: Walker, 1 can throw down any
man in the Legislature 1 replied +:
Abe Lincoln, you can't do it. / am not
much of man myself, but / will wager
a bottle of champagne that my col
league, Jonas Rawalt, can down you SO
quick that it will make your head
swim
Done said Lincoln, eagerly.
Rawalt was informed of the wager; ar
rangements wer made, and the next
day Jonas Rawalt, Abraham LINCOLN
and myself walked out upon the open
prairie east of Vandalia, and prepare
tions were made to test their physical
powers. Rawalt was powerfully built
man, but Lincoln eyed him closely, as
they stripped, like school boys, for the
encounter, and informed him, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, that he was
going to down him. After having
taken off their coats and vests, the word
was given and they clinched. For a
few moments there were interesting evo-
lutions performed by both parties, at
the end of which time the long legs of
Lincoln described half circle above
the head of Rawalt, and he was thrown
violently 10 the ground. Abe slowly
scrambled to his feet, Strengthened up
his tall, Raunt form, grasped Rawalt by
the hano, and shaking it vigorously,
said: There is one man in the Legis-
lature that 1 can't down."
Mai. Walker "a robust old man of 800
still lives in Lewiston. ILL.,. and always
laughs heartily as he relates the above
little incident. Jonas Rawalt is ON old
resident of Canton. ILL.,, and no doubt
often tells his grandchildren, with

DruInnners.

"How many drummers are there in
this country?"
Last year there were more than CO.,
600. This took in the men that are
around selling on commission. Some
travelling men get as high as $4,000 a
year and expenses. They are few in
number, however. and generally repre-
sent dry-goods or fancy-goods estab-
