WINS Grave.

''That grave on the right hand of the
path as you go down to the porch door;
that heap of airth with no growth, not
one blade of grass on it-that's VIII
Pooley's grave that was hanged unjust
ly."
"Indeed! But how came such shock
ing deed to be done?"
why, you see, sir, they got poor
Viii down to Bodmin, all among stran-
gers, and there were bribery and false
swearing, and an unjust judge came
down-and the jury all bad rascals, tin
and copper men-and so they all agreed
together, and they hanged poor VIII.
But his friends begged the body and
brought the corpse home here to his own
parish, and they. turfed the grave, and
they sowed the grass 90 times over> but
twas all no use, nothing would ever
grow-he was hanged unjustly."
"Well, but, Tristan, you have not
told me all this while what this man
Pooley was accused of; what had he
done"
Ozone, sir! Done! Nothing what
ever but killed the excise man!"-Rey.

The Trapping of the Deathwatch.

The SO called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstitious, is small beetle which
has a very powerful joint in its neck
and calls its mate by tapping with its
head on the wall Or on any surface where
it may happen to be located. The noise
Is similar to that which may be produced
by tapping with the finger nails on a
table, and the insect can frequently be
made to answer such taps.-New York

NOT lately, but 25 years ago -
something that perfectly and perma-
nently cures Catarrh in the Head.
It's DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
and where everything else fails, that
cures. The worst chronic cases yield
to its mild, soothing, cleansing and
healing properties. See if yours
won't. The makers of this Remedy
say it will. And they make you
this offer: if they can't cure your
Catarrh, no matter how bad your
case, they'll pay you $500 in cash
and they mean it.
Here are some of the symptoms
of Catarrh: Headache; obstruction
of the nose; discharges falling into
throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious,
mucous, bloody, putrid, and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell and
taste impaired, and general debility.
You won't have all at once; prob
ably only few of them. But you
won't have any of them, if you'll
take DR.. Sage's Remedy.

It is certainly discouraging for far
mers to think of selling wheat at the
present prices but they should make
every effort to settle their store ac-
counts at the earliest date possible.
Merchants these days are constantly
receiving notices to pay up without
delay and many of them throughout
the northwest this year are so situat-
ed that ruin stares them in the face
unless the money due them is forth
coming promptly. They have pro-
vided the farmers with their necesi-
ties on time, thus sharing with them
the risk of failure, as in letting goods
go on time they placed themselves in.
a position where the failure of the far
mer to realize from his crop meant
bankruptcy to themselves. These
facts should be considered, and in re-
turn for the accommodations extend
ed at least reasonable effort should
be made on the part of the farmer to
show his appreciation by helping the
merchant out Of his difficulties at the
earliest date possible.-Wheaton Ga

the county Offices, the postoAice and
the schools will be closed, and, of

Because of the abundant rains of
this season there is a rank growth of
prairie grass everywhere and prairie
fires this Fall will be of more than
usual severity. Much property will
be lost. Such losses occur as regularly
and certainly as the seasons come and
go. Some people are careless by birth
and by habit and will not mend their
ways even after suffering heavy losses.
These people will have losses this
year. We hope, however, that no
reader of The Sun will be found
among the number. Those who reg
ularly peruse wide-awake, journal

thought and energy enough to pro-

thus entitled to a share of the state
opportionment is 798. These figures
are but little larger than those of the
year before. The number who attend
a sufficient length of time to share in
the apportionment should be very
