COMO


Mr.. Murphy has bought ten acres Of
land across the lake, adjoining his place,
of Mr.. Hitchcock, giving for the same
$500.
Mr. Edward Manchester's fine horse
died recently Of the staggers. This is
the season when horses should be well !
cared for, and especially northern horses.
They should not. above all things, be |
overdriven.
The Sunday school picnic Jamison's
last week, Tuesday, was really q pleas
ant and enjoyable reunion Of the set
tiers about the lake" and was better at
tended than many expected. The genial
and irrepressible captain and his good
lady received the company in the most
hospitable manner for which they are
celebrated and did all in their power to
make Como feel at home. Boating was
| one of the delightful incidents Of the
day The ladies spread . cotIation that
did one good to look at let alone partakc
Of, for which they deserve great credit.
There being plenty Of arbors and out
! buildings on the captains picturesque
place the pic-nickers were enabled to es-
cape the fiery glance Of Old Sol, and the
day passed away pleasant to all. Why
not one Of these pic-niCB every two weeks

We announce with great regret the
death of Mr.. Alfred Baker, which sad
event occurred Monday morning while
the invalid was in q helples8ly crazed
condition, the result Of his severe illness.
Mr.. Baker was Of English birth, about
| "a years Of age, had been a settler il
Como over three years, and was much
respected by all who know him for his
sterling integrity and sober Industrious
manly character. The settlement could
better have spared many other young
men from its midst The burial took
place Tuesday morning from the resi-
deaco Of Mr.. Chas. Smith, Rev. Mr.. Har-
mon, Ct Pomona, preaching the funeral
sermon. So young and full Of life and
health but a short time ago, and to-day
resting in his quiet grave! 1t i3 hard to
realize the fact. Though gifted with a
sturdy constitution his was a helpless
case from the beginning, but every care
and attention was bestowed upon the in
valid to soothe his departure for faircr
world. With these few bat not unmer-
tied tributes to his true worth we leave
him in the quiet grave and consecrate
him to his dreamless sleep. REST loved
one there, forgetting all, until the last
great trumpet call"
Miss Hermance is constantly improv-
ing her residence and grounds and rap
idly making it one Of the prettiest pla-
ces in Como, The lady is setting us all a
: good example.

Mr.. Chas. Smith is raising many fine

of okra, rice and other experimental
D plants. They look well.

This looks like business. In imagination

\ Reporter Discovers it Not so Black
as Painted.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Zehnbaur,
in answer to a request to show our re-
porter through the jail, took him in his
handsome turn out and drove down to
that, at present, popular resort.
On raising a clamor at the outer gate,
Tailor Perry Ioosened the heavy locks,
and permitted US to enter. Under the
guidance of the sheriff the reporter was
shown through the entire establishment
and through the cells. There are thir-
teen prisoners confined behind the bars,
one white man charged with horse steal
ing, and twelve negroes held for various
crimes, among the number two females
The prisoners seemed to be as cheerful
and conteuted as possible under the cir
CUmstanCes, and look to be well cared
for. The cells are frequently whitewash-
ed, and carbolic acid and ether disinfec-
tants are freely used, and the Jail is as
clearly and neat as such q house can be
kept. Its appearance was q genuine sur
prise when considered in the light of the
reports we had heard of its filthy condi-
ton. The jailor makes the prisoners
scrub out the cells as often as is neces-
sary, and on the whole it is as we'll kept,
or better, than such places are usually
found.
The Jail building, though, is entirely
too small for the large number of pris-
oners which are now confined in it, and
any desperate criminal would have to be
constantly guarded to keep him from

Army Losses by Intemperance.

The evil of intemperance is exciting
attention in military circles in both
Great Britain and France. According
to the British Medical Journal there was
last year an enormous loss to the
effective force of the army and navy
from intemperance. In the army l 400
cases of drunkenness were tried
by court-martial, besides over 4, 900 con-
victions from erin es springing from
excessive drinking. During the year
1904 soldiers. or 102 in every thou
sand, were mulcted in their pay for
drunkenness. And in circular issued
to naval Commanders-in-C Chief and mar
thine projects on the subject, the French
Minister of Marine states that offenses
of drunkenness are increasing to q dis
gushing extent, urges that stringent
measures should be taken to check the
growing evil. and suggests patrols and
the prosecution of such proprietors of
drinking shops who may supply liquor
to men already intoxicated.

THE TABLE NAPKIN.
How 1t Ought to Be Used, and How
Some Persons Use 1t.

How 1t Ought to Be Used, and How
Some Persons Use 1t.
visited lately at house where every.
thing was at SKIES and at seyens, but or
leaving, my companion, who looks on
the bright side of everything, suddenly
remarked: They seemed to know how
to use their table napkins, and one does
not find that in every house" smiled
to myself as thought how true wa
this remark, and remembered that had
often noticed the different ways in
which this indispensable article of table
furniture was used or abused in different
households.
Some people unfold their napkin a,
table and carefully fasten it around
them like an apron; and have seen the
same people gather up the crumbs al
the close of meal and carefully shake
them over the tablecloth. There are
Others who let it slide on to the floor
and make every one uncomfortable ia
regain it. And l have observed the
absent-minded person use it for
pocket handkerchief and calmly pro
coed to appropriate it, feeling
quite mortified afterward when the
| contents of his pocket were revealed
There are those who tuck the napkin
under the chin, as one does when about
to feed an infant, and some who ON
, leaving the table carefully fold it as il
| for future use. This is not good form
unless ring is supplied. 1t is pretty
custom to keep rings for guests, each
ring of different pattern, or designated
/ if for ladies, by different colored rib
bon. 1t gives guest an at-home feel
! ing, as if he had some share in the
home. Otherwise, on leaving the table
the napkin should remain on the left
side of the plate, discarded, without any
attempt at folding.
The children of every household should
be early accustomed to the use of the
napkin. A little prattler once said: 81
like people to come to tea, because then
/ get pretty white cloth to keep my
pinafore clean" The child had an in
nate sense of neatness, which had moi
been properly encouraged. Ihave seen
very good hOusekeepers rummage a
drawer, after visitors were seated at tea,
to find a napkin, and l have thought
'If some of the superfluous cake had
been omitted and little more attention
paid to the minor appointments it would
be more comfortable and would not add
a whit more to the labor of ea-giving,"
for the real comfort of life is not alto
gether in what we shall eat, but in many
dainty little accomplishments of eating.

Ohio compelled US to classify this State
as we have, though it can hardly be said
that no special attention has been given
the subject of Temperance in Ohio, es-
peclally of late years. The law against
treating in Nebraska, it is only fair to
add, is founded on a sensible idea. How
much of the drunkenness and vice of
large American cities is due to treat
ing? In this respect we are a Nation
of fools. In no country in the world is
this custom carried to such an extent.
The severity of Prohibition laws may
be best studied in Mr.. st. Johns State,
where even physicians have to take oath
once in five years that they will not pre-
scribe liquor unless absolutely neces-
sary as a medicine. In Michigan and
Minnesota. and perhaps some other
States, effort is made to create a Tenn
perance sentiment; in the tirst-named
State, by compulsory teaching in all
public schools of the effect of drink on
the human system. In the latter-named
States to sell pupil of a school or SEM
mary drink is a misdemeanor. The
holding OF saloon-keepers responsible
for paupers chargeable on the town,
when it can be proved from whom they
obtained liquor, seems to be peculiar to

The Dreadful Creature That Scared a
Timid Little POetess.


A bluc-eyed girl with dimple tripped
timidly into the room. Every man on
the staff but one gasped at the beautiful
vision.
Please" she said, in a sweet and
melting little voice that went right to
your boots, "does your paper have a

Unfortunately she had spoken to the
oldest and crustiest bachelor on the
force, a creature who cooked his own
meals and had dyspepsia the worst
way
Yes" he growled, without looking
up, while every young man on the staff
tore his hair in rage; ''yes-[ am the

And then he looked at her so dread
fully that she OWNED his cruel mean
ing and went softly crying out the door,
while the young men on the staff banded
themselves together and swore u great
oath chat they would kill the crusty
bachelor if they dared.

Effect on Digestion.

I had learned purely by experimental
observation that, in its action on the
living body, this chemical substance.
alcohol, deranges the constitution of
blood; unduly excites the heart and
respiration; paralyzes the minute blood
vessels; increases and decreases, ac-
cording to the degree Of its application,
the funct on Of the digestive organs, of
the liver and of the Kidneys; disturbs
the regularity Of nervous action; lowers
the animal temperature, and lessons the
muscular power. 1t will be asked:
"Was there no evidence of any useful
service rendered by the agent in the
midst of 50 much Obvious evidence of
bad seryice?' | answer to that ques-
ton that there was no such evidence
whatever, and there is none. 1t has
been urged, Us last kind of resource
and excuse, that alcohol aids digestion,
and so far is useful. l support, in re-
ply, the statement of the late DR..
Cheyne that nothing more effectively
hinders digestion than alcohol. That
''many hours, and even a whole night,
after debauch in wine, it is common
enough to reject a part or the whole of
Il dinner undigested. l hold that
those who abstain from alcohol have
the best digestion; and that more in
stances of indigestion, of flatulency, of
acidity, and Of depression of mind and
body are produced by alcohol than by
any other single causc.-Dr. B. W

Responsibility of Mothers.

If all mothers understood how much
depends upon their decision in this con-
test of the home and the saloon, they
would speedily enroll themselves on the
right side. One must be slave, a cow
ard, or hero, in the strife. If slave,
we bear the misery and disgrace such
slavery and appetite brings; if cow
ard, the meanness and imbecility of one
who sneaks from duty; if hero, we
not only climb to high place morally,
but hold light of example for others.
Our slavery, our cowardice, our hero
ism bring others to the same depth, or
level, or height, to which we fall, or
stray, or climb. 1t is the mission of the

courage and help mothers to be heroes.

year of age, named George Lippert,
presented himself for examination and

defomity and desired to conceal it. In
fact he does conceal it 50 well that its
presence can not be guessed as he walks
along the street. His left leg is per-
feet, except that it has six toes. Where
the right leg should be there are two
legs growing side by side and covered
by the same skin as far as the knee, OF
very near that point. There are two
thigh bones, two ball and socket joints
and different sets of muscles, and the
motion of one leg is entirely independ-
ept of the other Each of these legs,
which may be called the second and
third legs, has a separate knee-joint.
and from the knee they are entirely
separate from each other. The second
leg below the knee has but one bone,
and this ends in a bony knob with three
toes attached to it. 1t is this leg that
he uses in walking, the termination be-
ING protected by Il padded cup made to
fit it. The third leg has all the bones
and muscles to be found in the leg of
any ordinary man, but at the foot is
twisted in a most extraordinary man.
