It's Summer in Oak Hall.

Do you know what's going on?
Maybe you'll know by the prices.
Bargains are as plenty as chibtes in o0heat-feAa
After getting the lowest prices for reliable cloth
ing all through the season, some lots totally
sold. Others-part of them are left. They make
enough gathered together to more than fill one OF
our big rooms.
They're twothirds or half price as long they last
We're not bit anxious to lose money
We're brave enough to do it when we've either got
to do that carry goods till next season.
You wouldn't stick the railroad fare if you knew
what you'd save. Maybe S2.oo; maybe $1,000.
For the Summer itself Stacks of Thin Clothing.
Customers say: It's sight the beautiful
goods we have It's the finest we ever had
We've heap of Clothing yet to SELL and we've
made the prices low enough to cut quick furrow
in it.

THE RAINRnW AS a WEATHER
PROPHET.

As weather prophet the rainoow's
fame is widespread. Abundance of
proof of this is given by its name. Ii
is the rainbow in English, Italian, Ger
man, Picardy, Gaelic. Breton and the
| 1'oda dialect of India. Germans also
call it weather sign," and it is also
''waterbrow" Gaelic and Finnish, and
''cloudbow' in Arabian. 1t is believed
IN Normandy that rain will come in
nine days after the appearance OF a
rainbow. The weather proverbs con-
! cernlng the rainbow are more OF less
widely known. Many are simple varia-
tions of the following:
Rainbow ut night, shepherds delight:
Rainbow at morning, shepherds have warning.
Or, as the old English work has it ::
| The rainbow in the mornin'
Gives the shepherd warnin'
| To gar his girt cwat on his back:
The rainbow at night
| Is the shepherds delight,
| For then no girt cwat does he lack
The nautical version is also well
known
Rainbow at night. sailors delight;
Rainbow in the morning. sailors take warning.
The French form of the proverb has
it:
Rainbow in the morning,
Little man take thy way;
| Rainbow at eve,
Little man, do not leave.
In curious collection of weather
signs collected by the signal bureau
there is much recorded concerning the
rainbow as meteorological indicator in
this country. 1t is widely believed
that it is sign that the rain will come {:
If there is a rainbow at eve,
| 1t will rain and leave.
A morning rainbow is usually indca-
| tive of more rain, or of short, heavy
rains a night bow, of coming fair
weather. Two or three bows are
thought to foreshadow pleasant weather
presently, but settled bad weather in a
few days. If bow breaks up all at
| once it is a sign that severe weather
will follow, and that rain will follow after
a drought of fair weather after wet.
When the green color is prominent rain
and cool weather will follow. But wind
and RAIN will occur after rainbow in
which it predominates. A rainbow IN
the air signifies the next day will be
clear:
A rainbow at morn, put your hook in the corn,
rainbow at eve, put your head in the sheave.
When seen in the distance, the rain
bow means fair weather; when near at
hand in the mountains, bad weather
for crops. When it does not touch
water clear weather will follow. A
morning bow indicates rain, noon
bow slight and heavy rain, and an even
ing bow fair weather. An easterly bow
indicates fair weather the next day
one in the west means more rain the
same day. A rainbow in spring pre-
cedes fair weather for forty-two hours.
The appearance of the rainbow over
a certain lake in Russia fortells drought
to the fishermen, and they fear to go
on the water because it produces a
whirlwind or water, which will over flow
the boats.

Homeopathy.

3077 patients were treated at Wards Island
Hospital, N. J.. 1876: the death rate was 6O7 per
cent, and the cost of medicine per patient 49,
cents. During the same year 5651 patients were
treated at BeIlvue Hospital Nj, with death rate
OF 1905. and S62l at Blackwell's Island with
death rate of 1908. Cost of medicine per patient
Sl.46. At Wards Island the treatment is Homuo-
pathc, at the last two it is not. Surely these Off
ciai figures should open peoples eyes to the folly
of ignoring Homeopathy the only school OF medi-

North Carolina, was one of the very
few intimate friends of John Ran
dolph of Roanoke. They served to-
gether in both Houses. Mr.. Macon
retired from the House in 1851. His
successor made every effort to sue
ceed him i'll the good graces of Mr..
Randolph. Mr.. Randolph snubbed
him. Angry at this he took the first
opportunity to assault Randolph
who made no sort OF reply, but a few
days after in discussing some sub
jeCt, SAID: Mr.. Speaker, | am re-
minded Of remark OF my friend,
Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina,

this House, | am sorry to say, is now
vacant vacant. vacant
Il append the following, which,
under the circumstances, | regard as
one of the keenest and most polished
specimens of satire | ever came
across: Disraeli, the great English
Premier, as is well known, was de-
feated several times before he was
elected to Parliament. In one of his
speeches on the hustings he de-
nounced Daniel O'Connell, the great
Irish agitator, as bloody traitor, to
which Mr.. O'Connell made the re-
tort: For aught know the present
D1sraeli is the true heir at law of the
impenitent thief who died on the
cross. Disraeli challenged O'Con-
nelTs sen, Morgan, who took up his
fathers quarrel, but the challenge
was not accepted. "
c. c. Jones, Augusta, wrote.
"When that brilliant but erratic
orator, the late Thomas Marshall, Of
Kentucky, was addressing a large
audience in Cincinatti, he was inter-
rupted by a man in the crowd, who,
pretending not to hear the speaker
distinctly, endeavored to embarrass
him by putting his hand to his ear
and crying out 'louderp Several
times did Mr.. Marshall pitch his
voice on higher key, but the only
effect was to draw forth from his tor
mentor still more energetic cries OF
louder, please, sir louder Thus
interrupted in one of his most thrill
ing appeals Mr.. Marshall, indignant
at the trick, paused for moment,
ard fixing his eye first on his enemy
and then on the presiding officer,
said: Mr.. Chairman, on the last
day, when the Angel Gabriel shall
have descended from the heavens,
and, placing one foot on the sea and
the other upon the land, shall lift to
his lips the golden trumpet and pro-
claim to the living and to the resur-
rected dead that time shall be no
more, | have no doubt, Sir, that
some Internal tool from Cincinnati
will start up and cry out; Louder,
please, sir, louder =
Zone of the neatest retorts ever
made by public speaker was that
made by Coleridge, in response to
marks of disapprobation indulged in
by the audience during his Demo-
cratic lecture at Bristol; 4 am not at
all surprised that, when the red hot
prejudices of aristocrats are suddenly
plunged INTO the cool element ofrea-
son, they should go off with hiss. } "

FAITHFUL THOUGH UNCON-
SGJOUS

Students of mental phenomena will find
somewhat of interest to them in the case OF the
Bloomington street car oriver Who made he
roic fsnt to keep his cash box out of the hands
of thieves last Sunday night He was terriby
beaten and cut alb nut the head, snd, though
knocked senseless, managed to keep the box
oat of the hands of the hignwaymen. Then, SO
strong was the power Of habit, he, though At
terly unconscious of what rs was doing, COM
pleted his run aud took his horses to the stable,
holding tightly to the cashbox the while. A
strange feature of the case was that when he
reached the office, to which he seemed
to have gons purely mechanically,
he refused to give up the box, making
as desperate a fight against the cashier
as he had made against the thieves. History
sbounds with cases Of unconscious perform
ance of routine duties, but this case adds to the
testimony which goes to prove that what Hume
calls habit is not necessarily an Impression
made by many repetI Ions Of the same act, but
may be as well the deep impression made by
a single very imp ressive act.-fOhicsgo Times.
The recent death of Mr.. W. b. Willis
at Galveston Afforded, it is believed, an
other remarkable instance OF the mechan-
ical operation Of the brain. Going OFT
with pistol to meet intruders, as he
thought, he carried the weapon cooked.
In descending the stairway she stepped
on banana peel, his foot slipped. and, in
attempting to save himself from fsll, he
threw his right hand up, catching himself
by throwing his elbow on the stair banis-
ter, ia which position the pistol WAS dis
charged with terrible result. The
balls from the other two
chambers OF his pistol were found in the
wall opposite where he fell, showing they
were fired in his commissions Immediate
ly after his fatal shot in the base of the
brain" The same mechanical operation
is often seen in the speech Of those who
"tslk "a their sleep" and in the acts Of
somnambulists.
