About Pens,

Authority states that the first pens
were made of bronze, steel and iron,
sharp pointed like bodkin. These
were used in producing hieroglyphics
on stone in Assyria and other eastern
countries. Then came the camel's-
hair pencil for painting on the skin of
animals, and next the stylus of bone,
ivory or metal. But parchment and
papyrus became known, and the reed
pen was invented. Time rolled on and
it was discovered that the quill was
better than the reed, and it came into
universal use and continued so until
far into the past century. Silver,
horn, tortoise shell and glass came
along only to give way to steel, until
in 1920 gross of the latter pens was
made in Birmingham and sold at whole
sale for $33. The best gold pens are
made in the United States.

In other words, to exhibit fortitude when en-

but sufferers from rheumatism would undoubt-

Spartan virtue calls forth, to obtain prompt and

shape of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which

The Editors Friend.

Some supposed friends of newspa-
per have peculiar ideas rs to what kind
of items paper requires. Not long
since a gentleman came into the sane
tum of a Texas paper and said to the
editor:
Look here, You miss heap of live
items. I'm on the streets all day. I'll
come up every once in while and post
YOU"
'All right, fetch on your item, but
remember we want news"
Next day he came up, beaming all
over. 1--WE got a live item for you.
You know that Internal, 5ow-legged
gorilla of brother-in-law of mine,
who was in business here with me?"
II believe | remember such per-
son" said the editor, YEARLY.
"Well, I've just got news from Ne
braska, where he is living. that he is
going to run for the legislature. Now,
Just give him blast. Lift him out of
his boots. Don't spare him on my ac-
count.
The editor shook his head and the
newsgatherer retired.
Next day he came up again. my
little item was crowded OFT. At least
didn't see it in the paper l brought
you some more news" and he handed
N an item about cat as follows:
"A remarkable animal. The family
cat of our worthy and distinguished
fellow townsman Smith, who keeps the
boss grocery store of Ward No Is
(beer always on tap) yesterday became
the mother of five singularly marked
kittens. This is not the first time this
unheard-of event has taken place. We
understand Mr.. Smith is being favor
ably spoken of as candidate for alder
man"
The editor groans in his spirit as he
lights cigar with the effort, 1t is not
long before he hears that Smith is going
around saying that he has made the
paper what it is, but it is not indie
pendent enough to suit the public.
Many readers will say that this
sketch is overdrawn, but thousands of
editors all over the country will lift up
their right hands to testify that they

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local

treatment pronounced it incurable. Sci

stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

New Plan for Signaling at Sea.

The British government is testing a
new plan for signaling at sea, which
has already yielded remarkable re-
suits. 1t consists merely of an ordin-
airy gong fastened to the bow of the
ship below the water line. This acts
as transmitter, and the receivers are
gongs of exactly similar tone and rate
of vibration, one on each side of the
ship below the water line. The re-
ceiving gong will take up and repro
duce the sound of the sending gong
from a long distance. Signals have al
ready been clearly transmitted ten

HE WAS DUNE.
Although He Had Waited Four Years
for That Meeting,


1t was the same old story: she was
rich, he was poor, and both were
floundering helplessly in the flower
twined meshes of love.
She was a courageous little person,
only too willing to cast off those lux
uries so dear to the heart feminine and
venture into the idealized atmosphere
called "love in COTTAGE" But he had
an extravagant inheritance of pride
and self-esteem and he said: "No, Wen
wait" And SO the upshot of it all
was that she found herself bundled off
to PARKWAY lands.
When they parted there was the
usual sharp sense of loneliness and des-
olation.
"Since your father wishes it we will
not write,' said the man. ..We are
both young and time may work Won
ders. Who knows?"
And the girls lip quivered, and she
dared not lift her eyes lest the only
man in the world discover she was not
so capable of smiling at fate as he.
A year passed, says the Chicago
Record.
One day the man was down-hearted
and wretched with the loneliness that
comes only when that which one treas
ures most has been taken away from
one. He had often written long letters
to the girl but true to his sense of hon
or, had never sent them. But this day
he wrote and told her he could not
longer be silent. He wanted her to
know that he loved her as he had al
ways loved her. That was all. He
expressed wish that she should not
answer the letter. He believed that
she had remained the same and a
knowledge of anything to the contrary
would be too great an affection for
him to endure.
Three wears after that Chicago had
the worlds fair.
The man was fond of art and liked
to wander in the thronged corridors OF
the Columbian storehouse of art treas
ures. He often dreamily anticipated
meeting his lost sweetheart. Time,
you see had not knitted together the
wounds, but kept them open with ten
der memories.
And one day she really came.
He was studying the misty beauty
of Corot when she darted toward him,
grasped both hands and said with her
dear voice tremblingly happy: I'm so
glad"
The man was dazed. His senses
seemed to be stupefed, and iron
bands suddenly wove themselves
around his heart. He had waited four
years for this very moment, and when
she was actually near him holding his
hands he was stricken dumb.
The smile on her face turned to a
despairing look of anxious inquiry.
'.Ah! you have forgotten me-" and
her manner of speaking was essenced
with pain, amazement, and deep sadness.
"Why, no I haven't. How are you?"
He had found voice at last but it was
not his own. 1t was more like dead
thing, colorless, loveless and cold.
The girl choked and put her hands
| hurriedly to her forehead.
"Good-by," she said, and in the
twinkling of an eye she was swallowed
up and lost in the swarming, restless
throng.
1t was so like man.
1t Was so like a woman.

Fitzsimmons' wonderful re- cooperative power is shown by the fact that in both battles he rallied from the very verge of a knockout and succeeded in fin- iishing his men in hurricane style.
 If James J. Corbctt gets him going in this manner. however, the probabilities arc thnt he will keep on going until he goes out. On the other hand, if Fitz sue ceeds in landing his terrible right on the Californian's chin with the old time forco that has inducted so many good men into a state of somnolent quietude, and that recently resulted In the accidental killing of Con Riordan, his sparring partner, during an exhibition bout. there seems no good reason why Corbctt should not go down and out also.
