who are so deeply interestedin our abil-

shaken doses of Nervura, to be able TO
survive his attacks.
That soap story from Twin Lakes has
reached Etna Green and Brother Carter
is roasting the participants in the so
called Outrage" He further says if
that man had stole million dollars, he
would have been honOred by all the
courts. There is more truth than pO-
e try in that assertion Friend Carter.
y fourteen-year-old boy who was call
ed as a witness in a New York city
court, admitted that he had never
heard of God. There are only too good
reasons to believe that hundreds of boys
in the large cities are growing up in
similar ignorance and without any reli-
oiOuS instruction. That such state of
affairs can exist in progressive Ameri-
can cities is deplorable, but it empha-
sizes the need of better and more com

The alarm of fire Wednesday was
brought about by small blaze at the
Novelty Works. The shavings that ac-
cumulate were wheeled out and dumped
near the engine house. The heat caused
the shavings to ignite and when dis
covered was gaining considerable
headway The fire protection at the
Works are very proficient, having two
lines of hose. The signal was given for
pressure, but not understanding the call
the engineer sounded the fire alarm.
The fire was put out before the depart
ment started for the scene.
Any man can take a newspaper. 1t
is the cheapest thing he can buy. 1t
costs little more than postage stamp.
What good does it do you? 1t instructs
you and your wife and children. 1t
comes to you every week rain or shine
calm or storm, bringing you the news
of the neighborhood. No matter what
happens, it enters your door as vel
come friend, full of sunshine, cheer and
interest. 1t shortens the long summer
days, and enlivens the long winter
nights. 1t is your adviser, gossip and
friend. No man is just to his wife and
children who does not give them the
home paper to read.
Notwithstanding the law against fish
ing in lakes, and the recent admonition
given to parties for fishing in Lake
Maxenkuckee, it is automatically
ed that parties are still continuing these
depredations at that lake. 1t is also
stated that at night, the CLEAN of nu-
merous lights can be seen, used by those
Spearing fish. This matter should be
attended to immediately. If it is
against the law, let those who are will
fully disobeying, be punished. If it is
not against the law, let it be so an
nounced, so that everyone who desire to
enjoy the pastime of fishing can utilize
the same opportunities.
A paper published not far from here
received letter from a young lady,
whose note paper was ornamented with
a picture of birds flying through a
wreath of flowers, in which she asked:
"Is there any way of boiling cabbage
that will not fill the house with the un-
pleasant odor?" The entire staff sus-
pended operations to wrestle with this
burning question, and finally announced
that rubber shoe, "if cooked in the
same kettle with the vegetables in ques-
tion, will so complicate the resulting
fragrance that it becomes rather an OBJ
ject of interest and curiosity than an
excuse for fault-fnding."
We note some times an exchange
when it appears upon our table, looking
as though it has passed through ter
rible ordeal. 1t is the custom of news
paper men to use their soiled copies for
their exchanges. This is all right, and
when received is not commented upon
for the above reason. But there are
publications that go weekly to the
homes of subscribers that are hardly
readable. A newspaper man makes
great mistake when he presents to his
readers such paper. No matter how
important the reading matter may be,
the good results are not forthcoming
