The cantata of the seasons, presented

credit both upon the performers and
the one who had il in charge.
Charles MOsier has gasoline stove.
1t didn't work just 10 suit him last Sun
day morning, and So Charley took
pan of gasoline and went To work
cleaning the thing After he had got it
pretty thoroughly purified, he thought
he would see how the old thing would
work. He touched il off and it went,
and his pan of gasoline, into which he
careleSsly dropped the lighted match,
did likewise. They had lively time
for few minutes but, fortunately, no
great amount of damage was done.
Moral: Don't clean your stove Sunday
morning.

Friends who have items for publica-
ton will find it advantageous TO them
selves rs well as an accommodation to
us to hand them in just as early as pos
sible. They should remember that the
next paper is begun almost as soon as
the preceding one is finished, and that
it is impossible to wait until the latest
hour and then put everything in type.
Give us your items just rs soon as you
can and they will be far more apt to
find place in our columns, and we
will be enabled TO keep our work well
in hand. Matter that is put in type
early, because there is nothing of
greater Importance and the space must
be filled, may often keep out more inn
portant items that are handed in later
