The Y ost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built type
writer, the Remington No. 2 and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the New
YosT, which rises superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs So or SO a year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 81 year. And as
to permanent alignment the YOsT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

HCLlTT HAZEWELL. nut tree ana Is ~
feet above the earth. 1t has shingled
roof and clapboarded sides and contains
three small rooms. A ladder leads up to
the front door and another ladder leads
down inside the tree, which is hollow, to
a cellar beneath the roots.
Hazewell affirms that he likes his
strange habitation better than ordinary
houses. 1t is sheltered from the sun and
rain in summer by the surrounding
foliage, and in winter it is above the
snow, and the branches protect it from
the cold winds. Before he went to live
there HuGtt suffered greatly from ague,
but he never since has had a symptom
of the disease. He makes friends of the
birds and the squirrels and cares for no
other company, but is quite happy and
not of a morose disposition, though he is
certainly an odd character.
His oddness is inherited. His father
lost his reason trying to invent a perpet-
ual motion machine, but Hulitt never
wasted time on things like that. He is a
shoemaker and has snug bank &C
count, besides owning the farm on which
his queer dwelling is located. He has
lived in his tree for % years, and during
all that time has not looked into news
paper or manifested any interest in cur
rent news.
Hazewell's selection of his dwelling
place was the result of a rash anti-elec-
ton promise. 1t was during the Grant
Seymour campaign of 1868. Hazewen
was Democrat and whooped things uI
for Seymour. The postmaster was a
Republican and talked as strongly for
Grant. The two men had many an ar
dent discussion, and at the close of an
argument one day the postmaster said
he'd be darned if he wouldn't leave the
country if Seymour were elected.
Well" said Hazewell. Il won't leave
the country, but if Grant is elected II
climb a tree and stay there
Grant was elected, and Hazewel
climbed his tree, and there he has LIVED
the life of hermit ever since. only
coming down to do his farm work anC
transact other necessary business.

Poke Honnets For Wee Girls.

Are not the big poke bonnets which are
now to be seen on little girls upon
"dressy" occasions just sweet? They do
not do for children under 4, because the
heads are too small for the bonnet to set
closely, but on those above that age the
appearance is quaint in the extreme. OF
course they should be accompanied by
long, old fashioned frocks. and little
silk reticule over the arm to hold the
pocket handkerchief is another appro-

better go without some of your house

with a scanty supply of towels.
Have them of good size. They are
more satisfactory and wear longer than
the curtailed sort. Shall the towel be
fringed? That is matter of taste. Some
one said the other day that plain hens,
with two or more rows of hemstitching
above the hem, would soon lead in linen
good forms" We hope so-for the towel
in ordinary use anyhow.
Shall our towels be damask or hucka-
back? That is also n matter of taste.
And it is a mattero complexion. Hucka-
back and Turkish are desirable for bath
use But for the face use the damask.
With that you may rub the skin without
producing n battered up feeling that is
certainly not advisable for the complex

face, but it is never improved by scOur-

He was the first winner of the Lam

man. But for the rule that prevents q
man taking the medal twice he might

He has been twice dangerously hurt

the people who watched thought he was
surely going to his death. But while
they shuddered with apprehension be-

Kennedy and Fireman Rehfeldt, who
had gone to his assistance, he shared the

saw the ambulance bearing away the
