Aunt Betsy Hicks, a New England
woman who had been LETT a widow
after a few years of married life, scar

a good deal of ability, but with such
close economy that her saving de
vices grew famous in the country
round about.
Next to her economy of provisions
her economy of tirewood was perhaps
her chief concern, says Youths Com.
pdniOn. At one time a sister of her
late husband from "down country
came 10 make her a visit. and sOon
became convinced that Betsy was en-.
deavoring to freeze her Out. But
perhaps this was not so, since the tenn
peraturc was as Mrs. Hicks usually
keep it.

exclaim. Il should think you kept it
pretty cold here, Betsy"
"That ere pesky thermometers TO
blame. Susan" said Betsy. 81 guess
it's got choked up. Ican't get it above
fifty to save my life"
Then she turned over the stick of
wood in the sheet iron stove. while
her guest walked up and down the
room with her hands thrust up the
sleeves of her dress.
The visitor remained at Aunt Betsy's
for several days. however, in spite of
the choked up thermometer, spending
much of her time in bed or watching
a chance to smuggle a stick into the
stove when her hostess was out of the
room.
Late one afternoon she happened to
go out into the woodshcd and found
Aunt Betsy there, with an old shawl
wrapped around her shoulders and a
stick in her hand, engaged in violently
stirring something III a large tin can.
\ strong smell of petroleum filled the
air.

The Pennington school board is
desd-locked over the election of a
principal for their public school. Three
members of the board want Prof.
White elected as their principal but
the other three members are opposed
to him and declare they will never
vote for him. Outside influence is
about evenly divided, and it is limited
that the deadlock will last all summer
and thereby prevent the holding of a
term OF the public school in Farming

of the most costly and handsome res
licences thereon. All the people on

up. erecting new buildings, painting

Tower Railroad assured a representa-
tive of the DEMOCRAT that he will be
in attendance at the wharf to meet
and receive the excursionists of the
Normal next Monday, and will &C.
company them on their trip and see
that they have a safe and pleasant
journey over his road. lie also as
sured us that he has one of the most
careful engineers who will be at the
thrOttle-valve. so that every person.

Dur MilIers should supply Them.
The DEMOCRAT is informed that all
the flour consumed in Grandin, Mis-
souri,, one of the largest lumber mall
ufacturing points in the State, is pur-
chased at Springfield, Missouri, aud
Pl~casanton, Kansas. Why is this?
We know that some people in this
city will say that if we had competing
railroads running ont from this city
our millers would supply that town
with its flour, but saving so does not
make il so. The freight rate on flour
from Springfield to Grandin is cigh-
teen cents per hundred pounds; from
P~lcasanton. Kansas. TO Grandin,
twenty-five cents per hundred, while
from Cape Girardeau TO Grandin the
regular freight rate is sixteen cents
per hundred for flour.
There is something wrong some
where. Our millers could supply the
flour used at Grandin and they should
do g. They can get better freight
rates and We will always believe that
they make better flourihan the Spring
field and Plcasanton mills can make.
