KOSC1USKO MOVING.

In spite of what some of our cit
liens are apt to say, when we con
slider the facts it will be seen tha'
kosciusko is rapidly moving tc
higher ground. The record of the
past twelve months shows a mark
ed improvement, Within that
time many new residences have
been erected and also two hand
some brick stores, electric lights
have been put in, an additional de-
partment room made necessary
and built at the public school,
deep wells bored over town, and
other steps ofprogress taken. And,
now, in addition to all this, we are
to have four more brick stores in
side of sixty days, and by the time
fall sets in we will have another
compress and warehouse open for
business. These are signs of pros
pcrity.
However, we want to call the
attention OF the people to the fact
that Il C sc things, while they add to
the appearance and comfort of the
town and show that there is idle
money here seeking investment,
they do not really add much to
our material prosperity. That is
they do not bring any additional
business or capital to the town.
1t IS desirable to have them: but it
IS also desirable to have enterprises
that will add to our population and
business. II our people once get
their attention turned to manufac-
turing and get taste Of the large
profits in it, We are confident that
X )sciusko will grow a-pace.

Artificial Noses and Ears.

The making Of artificial noses and
ears has become good business within
the last few years. A nose is first mod
eled to the proper shape In papier-
mache, and then 1t Is waxed and var
nished to the tint Of the complexion OF
the noseless person. Ordinarily it is
fastened on by means of a pair OF
spectacles, to the nose piece Of which 1t
Is firmly attached. In some cases, how
ever, where the remaining stump Is
large enough, 1t Is clamped In place and
the spectacles are not necessary. An
ear Is made in much the same way, but
1t Is far more difficult to attach. Most
frequently small springs fitting into
the ear duct are used, but they are
likely in the end to seriously impair
the hearing. Other physical dehcien'
cies are remedied by wigs, false teeth
and glass eyes. The last are made al
most exclusively in Thuringia, Ger
many, and the worhmen are marvellous

men, good tempered, and OF indomit'
able courage, and Happy Jack was no
exception. Many were the stories told
about the ranches Of his great strength,
devil-may-carecourage and quaint say
ings. He was Of great height and
breadth Of shoulder, thin, sinewy and
active, with pluck equal to every emer-
gency and that cheerful temperament
which found occasion for mirthfulness
in every situation Of life and had given
him his beatifc name among his TEL
lows. first met him at the Horse
Creek ranch, where one night late in
autumn he stopped with his fellows.
They had come up from the south with
a herd Of beef cattle which were put
| into one Of the corrals over night while
their cavalcade was turned out into the
horse pasture
Happy Jack was up next morning
earliest Of all, and, while the rest OF
! the boys were going to breakfast, he
! had saddled his gray horse, u vicious
creature, as 'spready' and as active as
his master, and having led It to the
front of the ranch house was about to
mount. The morning was cold and
frosty, and Jack wore over his regula-
ton cowboy equipment an old army
overeoat.
"'Think he'll buck this morning,
JackY said one Of the cowboys from the
veranda.
"'Well,' Jack drawled, ! reckon he'll
do about as he's mind to- and he's
generally got mind to buck
ale settled into the saddle, the horse
went up into the air, and for the first
hundred yards his progress was zig
gag pitching fore and aft like wherTy
among the breakers, He used every
broncho trick to throw of his rider,
who, with the cape Of the old soldiers
oyercoat Tapping up to meet the brim
Of the broad sombrero, showed an abso-
lutte unconcern us to what performance
the horse might take into his head TO
try. The horse at last discovered that
bucling was useless and wearisoms,
and Happy Jack was soon down In the
pasture rounding up the horses. He
had got them together and driven
them back to the ranch building before
the other boys had eaten their break
fast. That was the kind Of worker
Happy Jack was
Everything that Happy Jack did or
said was done laughingly He carried
no revolver, but as he adjusted his
saddle equipments before starting
away from the ranch l saw that among
the things carefully slowed away IN his
cantinas or saddle bugs, was q long
knife with shining blade foot long,
and what that hints at when seen In q
Kentuclsian's outfit everybody knows.

Says an old Pennsylvania farmer II

windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chickens go to roost each night.
In calm weather the fowls always roost
on their poles with their heads alter
mating each way; that Is, one faces
east, the next west, and SO on. But
when there is going to be high wind
they always roost with their heads
toward the direction from which it is
coming There are reasons for these
different ways Of roosting, take it.
When there Is no wind to guard against
they can see other danger more readily
II they are headed in both directions,
but when wind is to arise they face

The Hurry Habit.

That much Of the rush" that Is so
characteristic Of American life is the
result Of habit rather than necessity is
shown by the fact that it quickly yields
to curiosity. Instances Of this are at
fordcd daily in the busiest thorough
fares. The familiar spectacle OF a man
or woman frying griddle cakes in the
front window Of a restaurant Is one
that never fails to attract attention,
says the New York Herald, even in the
most crowded part Of Broadway, at an
hour when business Is most brisk. The
tide Of travel always has to turn aside
when big safe is being hoisted to the
seventh or eighth story of some tall
office building, because Of the
crowd OF clerks, statesmen and
men of business who have stopped
for few minutes TO look on, and
most Of whom will soon be tearing
through the streets at a rate which
would seem to indicate that life or
death depended on the speed they
made. 1t is at the elevated railroad
stations that there is the greatest dis
play Of haste. Men rush upstairs and
push and elbow one another about on
the platform, as though to miss a par
ticular train would involve a delay of
several hours and no end of inconven-
fence to each and all OF them. And yet,
only d few days ago saw two score
men and half a dozen women let three
trains pass them while they watched a
sign painter at work on patent medi-
cine advertisement on a blank wall
And before he attracted their attention
they had all been struggling like mad
to catch the first train that came along.
Some day, as nation, we may awake
to the discovery that we can waste time
now and then when we feel like it.
