The average political speaker
comes and leaves with his words
for a brief period in the ears Of
those who heard. A passing day
removes the impression, and the
common mortal goes on his way
no wiser than before. Occasion
ally, on the stage Of action, comes
a man gifted far beyond the ordin-
ary characters Of the platform.
Then the hearers are lifted to the
higher realms of thought by the
speakers vivifying words, and
impressions are made that must
always remain indelibly stamped
on the mind and forever fixed in
the brain. Among the latter class
Of orators must rightfully be
placed the gifted young man who
spoke to the great audience in

protection to home industries and

As Told by the Sporty Man the Yarn,
While Tall, Was Incomplete.
The boarders were sitting around the
parlor. The landlady had just served
one Of her famous O'Clock dinners (35
cents apiece, or a quarter if you buy ten
tickets at time), and the partakers
needed rest as much as anything unless
it was pepsin.
The sporty young man, who had been
there but week, was telling story
about a friend of his who was in the
theatrical business, advance agent or
something of the kind. It was this
way" said the sporty boarder. "Jack
always was quito a hand to play the
horses, and that day he was particularly
lucky. He went out to the track with a
$100 bill. He saw the card was an easy
one and he resolved to plug it. He
picked to shot in the first race,
and it won. Then he went on, playing
every race, and when the sport was over
he had won just $15, ,000."
The soubrette opened her eyes and
whistled. The ministerial looking man
who sat over in the corner said, why
dom you go ON and finish the story?"
Finish the story?' asked the sporty
boarder in surprise. "Why, what more
is there to tell? What more is there to
it,"
"Pshaw," said the ministerial look
ing man, "you know as well as do
that your friend hurried back to town
and won SO, 600 more before dark play
ing croquet. Buffalo Express.

This can be done with some degree
of satisfaction when the object is to
count the mile stones of progress
and these are found so plentiful as
to indicate pleasing and comforta-
BILE looking forward. In making a
survey of village and town for the
past twelve or eighteen months much
is found of most gratifying nature.
True nothing of the "boom" kind has
been attempted and no Jonah's gourd
act played but instead steady
healthy growth has been attained.
This has been marked in the village,
and it goes without saying that it
never looked better. This has been
brought about largely through repairs
in building additions and remodeling,
after modern plans, The laying out of
lawns and walks and free use of
the paint brush. OF the new, aside
from the new cottages built by Elmer
Lampson and A. S. Hayward, most
| aol ..iiiy of mention is the stage addi-
ton to the town hall, 40X40 feet, and
the fitting of the same with fine new
scenery, giving us one of the best
country halls 10 be found in the state.
This was done wholly by private en-
terprise-by the West River Dramatic
club-at a cost of between $1,000 and
$500. The Aiken residence, owned
by postmaster Fletcher, of Chester,
has been thoroughly overhauled, mod
ernized and beautlied, at cost OF
over $1,000. The historic and diIapi-
dated "old shebang," long village
eyesore, has been taken in hand by
s. Nj. Holden, raised up, reclap-
boarded and covered, and reflted in
to neat tenement and two good
office rooms. Representative Yearly
has invested $500 in fitting up his res
idence and in 4, practically, new barn
And last, but the greatest of all, as
concerning the general prosperity
comes the electric light plant, put III
at a cost, when completed, exceeding
$4,000. This also has been done en-.
tirely by the individual effort of Chas
Alexander.
| This ratio of substantial progres.
has been maintained throughout thu
town, the most marked case being thu
building of the fine summer residence
on the old Faulkner place at cos
of about $4,000. Everywhere ha!
been manifested the same onward
march-the disposition to moderniz,
and beautify, and make comfortable
| keeping step with the better spirit o
the age. All this has been done at :
cost, for the past year, of not less
than $4,000.

FOR THE WEARY FEET.

Some of the Evils of Tight Shoes and How
to Cure Them.
A man who has made the human foot
an object of research and study declares
that short stockings are very nearly as
injurious as short shoes. Hose of insult
ficient length press the knuckles of the
toes upward, and when the shoe forces
them down Ae natural result is pain
full excrescenoe that vulgar folks desig-
nate as corn.
"But surely you don't consider an ill
fitting stocking the cause Of bunions, do
your" inquired.
Zone of them," he replied. "Corns
are the result of pressure. You see, the
blood is forced from the sebaceous
glands; therefore an excessive or unnat-
ural quantity of oil is thrown off. This
diseases the blood, and the oil forces its
way to the surface of the toe. As it
reaches the cuticle it evaporates, leav-
ing the top layer hard. Layer upon lay
er Of oil forms downward and deepens
until it presses on the nerves. Corns
have no roots. That idea is fallacious
But they cannot be cured until an in
strument goes beneath all those layers
Of diseased oil and removes them. A
soft corn is more easily treated and is
largely the result Of acid in the blood.
''After corn has been removed find
out literally where the shoe pinches,
then bathe the feet In cold water every
morning upon arising and rub the part
with prepared chalk"
My informant added that for dry feet
always use ice cold water; for moist
feet inclined to perspire freely, the wa
ter as hot as the skin can stand it, and
bathe just before retiring If the feet
swell after much walking, put little
vinegar in the hot water; if they ache,
use few drops of ammonia or borax.
Rest the feet often. To do this change
the shoes as frequently as possible. Even
from an old to q new shoe is rest.
| The muscles Of the foot tire of one po
sition, no matter how easy the leather
or last may be. Four or five times Q
day, if it is convenient, are none too Of
ten TO take this trouble, and its benefits
are astonishing.
Ingrowing nails are the result of the
corners being cut too close, allowing the
shoe to press against them. This agair
requires skilled treatment. The pedi
cures patronage is becoming as exten
siye as that of the manicure, for, apar1
from the treatment of painful excres
cences beautifying the foot is greatly
in vogue. Preparations to whiten the
skin are in use, and all the art Of the
manicure is called upon to assist that o.
the pedicure. Some society women cal
now present as well kept foot as hand

The "Wandering Stones.r

Near the little village of San Jose,
Peru, on tho shores of tho great lake Of
Titicaca, the most lofty lake in the
whole known world, are three pillars Of
stone of unequal height. On one Of these
huge blocks the rude features Of a hu-
man being have been cut, and the other
two are covered with designs Of various
kinds, all believed to have some mys-
terious reference to sun worship. Who
the engraver of these monoliths was OF
at what age of the world the engraving
was done is not known, but it is highly
probable that it was done long before
the Americas had ever been seen by
any white men. The stones are SO large
as to preclude the idea of their having
been erected by human beings, the best
explanation being that they were depos
tied by glaciers where they stand. That
the natives have some legend to this eff
fectis proved by the fact that they cal

The Hindoos have some very odd as
Economical ideas, among others that
there are really 10 suns, which take
turn about" supplying our planet with
light and heat. They argue that these
suns a,e brothers, but that some are
much younger and weaker than the
others. Mrs King, the wife of an Eng

these learned Brahmans during the
month of November, was given the fol-
lowing curious bit of astronomical lore:
"Some of these suns are the elder broth
ers and much stronger than the others,
SO strong indeed that they can kill
men. This month we have young sun
brother, and next month still younger
