An Advertisement and its
Answer.

Americans can see much humor in the
advertisements in English newspapers,
but occasionally there creeps into print
one which is of more than ordinary in
terest and having more than ordinary
humor. A woman of great benevolence
recently advertised her wants in the fol-
lowing manner:
A lady in delicate health wishes to
meet with useful companion. She must
be domesticated, musical, early riser,
amiable, of good appearance, and have
some experience of nursing. Total alb
stainer preferred. No salary.
The last two words carry wonderful
amount OF cheer to the person who could
fill such an exacting schedule Of attri-
butes, so it is not to be wondered at that
she received some answers. The best one
of the lot was printed, upon her being
sent a first-olass lady cat in good order
as far as her vocal organs were concerned
and the accompanying answer:
Madam.-In answer TO your advertise
ment, | am happy to furnish you with q
very useful companion, whom you will
find exactly suited to your requirements.
She is domesticated, good vocalist, an
early riser, possesses an amiable DISPOSE
ton, and is cousidered hansome. She has
had great experience as nurse, having
brought up a large family. need scarce
add she is total ab3tainer. AS salary to
her is no object, she will serve you faith
fully in return for comfortable home.

The Indian Rebellion.

The great rebellion, against the
English Government of their sub
jects in India, is widening and
spreading rapidly, For the past
twenty years the English have been
educating soldiery from the natives
of India, which to-day rank among
the best soldiers in the world.
These soldiers are mostly Moham-
medans in religion, and if the pres
ent uprising should turn upon relig-
ious lines, which now seems eminent,
the end Of English rule in India
may be the result of the present war.
Russia stands ready upon the North
western frontier to take advantage
of every possible incident and push
her way to the southwark and east
ward into English India. a number
of engagements have already been
fought in which the native troops
have been unifosmly successful,
capturing the fortified places and
driving the English garrisons out.
What the result may be it is too
early now to definitely say, except
that the war is one of great serious
ness and it may be of great disaster
to the English Empire.

Somebody in the West has con-
ceived the idea of a grand and SIN
pendous harvest festival, after the
manner Of old England This plan
sounds little bit dubious. A har-
vest sestival must have been an aw-
fully pretty and harmonious thing
when it grew naturally out of the
life Of the people, but when these
things are transplanted they get
mixed up with SO much Cspring
barouche and French-modiste- cos
tune business that the old fashioned
beauty vanishes into thin air. In
the old English days the wheat
fields were not the subject of stock
market speculations, nor were the
farmers hustling to pay off mort
gage. The laborers stopped in the
middle of the forenoon to drink beer
and when the harvest procession
took place the farmer himself, and
the parson, and the farmers wife
and daughters walked in the bar
vest procession and joined in the
harvest song. Do we have that sort
of thing in America now, under our
nineteenth century Republican CIV
ilization in the year of Mark Han
ma? We trow not.

ST. WHEAT.

What the farmers of the United
States have for many years been
wishing has been $1.00 wheat,
Wheat at $1.00 makes the farmer
almost as well off as his hired man,
but the way that the prices have
been running for a number Of years
back wheat has been raised at a loss
to the American farmer.
The short crops in India and
Russia and the Argentine has
thrown the supply Of food cereals
gerry largely upon the United States,
and the deficiency in Europe must

Extract From the Speech of
Hon. VIM. Terry, Of Arkansas
''It has impressed me that every
mighty contest in which men are
listed, whether upon the field of
battle or in the halls of legislation
is at last a battle of warning ideas,
that have marshaled their forces to
the front. =
"Why, sir, whenever / hear one of
these benevolent looking Republi-
can politicians talking about getting
better wages into the pockets of
workingmen by putting more mon
ey into the pockets of the manufact-
urer, thereby making him the trustee
for the laborer, / am reminded Of
what took place between the old
farmer and his big son John. He
called John in and said to him.
"My son, / have made my will, and
as it may perhaps make you q bet

done by you, | will tell you it's pro

Sweet and Even Temper.

The most desirable accomplish
ment for an American woman is to
maintain sweet and even temper
in the home. Man may or may not
crafty his personal ambitions and
not satisfy his public endeavors;
but when the day is done he longs
for the caress of a gentle hand, the
restful beauty of soft eyes beaming
with love, and the affectionate a item
tions that only a woman can bestow.
"a merry heart doeth good like a
medicine" and the best thing for a
woman to know is how to maintain
that cheerfulness of spirit in spite
of all the irritations set in her path
by that bugbear, man, The art of
spreading domestic sunshine is the
art preservatiye of American homes
and the American woman is grow

We take pleasure in reproducing
the following article from the Union
town Gazette of today, and COM
mend it to the people of this city.
The same conditions pertain to this
community, and the advice here
given or suggested applies with
equal force to Lewiston. Editor
Herman says:
This good crop will advertise the
Palouse country as it has never be-
fore been advertised, and we may
expect to see the result along this
winter and spring. Already sew
eral new firms have started in at
Pullman, Genesee, Colfax, Cakes
dale, Garfield and Kendrick, be-
cause those towns have always Of
fered inducements to new corners.
New corners always look the field
over, and where there are no local
fights. where facilities and society
are good, the new conner will settle
down. Unfortunately Unientown
has no rustlers and no inducements
are offered. Each individual one is
for self, and matters are allowed to
drag along to the old rut. We had
better show for town six years
ago. More business was done, and
more people of the rustling kind
were here to do it. Local fights and
preiubies, jealousies in seeing others
prosper, has done much to retard
our growth.
"This is the death blow to any
community, A town should not
pull apart, but all pull one way.
The stranger should be given to un-
derstand that he is welcome. Town
lots and building opportunities
should be offered freely--tell him
the bright side of Uniontown and
encourage him. A town, in order
to prosper, must have employment
for the. daily laborer, who is the
medium that scatters money. No
town ever prospered that lives from
hand to mouth-or has no pay roll.
''Try and advertise your town
and get some one to come and To-
cate. Now is good time to send
your home paper to a friend. Be
cheerful and do your part. Let us
try and keep those we have. The
bright side Of the silver lining is in
sight, for next year will be just as
this, the shortag of the wheat crop
is not going to be filled.this year
not by jug full. "--Lewiston Daily
Patriot.
We believe that the above applies
to Cottonwood Jas well as other towns
the experience of Uniontown is but
simply the reflex of this place, the
same spirit has retarded growth and
enterprise, few men have stood in
the way of advancement.
Now let US get a move on ourselves
and act like men, and pull together
for the advancement of our town,
we have played boy long enough.
