TIE custom Of lifting the hat had its
origin during the age OF chivalry, when
it was customary for knights never to
appear in public except in full armor
1t became a custom, however, for n
knight, upon entering an assembly Of
friends, to remove his helmet, sgnifying
II am safe in the presence OF my
friends. "--Exchange.
Now the custom is reported to be on the
wane. The proper thing is said to be to
simply touch the hat in a slight military
style. Though We may do il 10 he ''po-
lite" there is a little too much agony in
lifting ones hat from the head.

moth is prevalent among the fruit. II !

after all, that Burns has not won tia
county seat fight in Harney, says an tx
There were several blank ballots cast Of
the county seat question, and as Harne
City is now the temporary county seat,

But as the blanks must be col nted 70
