Congressman Sam Smith. THE storms
OF disapproval Of his course came from
people who think this country can whip
all creation, when we can't. If the
president had permitted a war before
we were prepared for it, the insignifi-
cant Span.ards would have drubbed US.
just as the little Japs drubbed China
We are big enough to do a lot OF fight-
ing, but we were not prepared. We are
ready now, however. and Spain must
get W and clear out of this hemis-
phere."

CHEAP

Cheap or Cheat differ in the tefmi-
nal letter. but they have come to mean
the Same thing SO nearly that they
might be deemed almost SYNONYMOUS.
Horne rooke says
"Good-cheap or bad-cheap we'll or

were formerly the modes of express
sion. The modern fashion uses the
word only for good-eheap, and there
fore omits the epithct good as I'M
necessary.
No matter what Fookc or fashion
may say. 1t is certain that if an article
be sold below it's absolute value II may
be cheap to the buyer, but somebody
has been wrouged or cheated. The
Morkmcn have been compelled To labor
Mt long hours for low wages, and So
they have been both oppressed aud
cheated. Perhaps the material used
is fair looking, but unsuhstantinl
lie. a sham and the buyer is deceived
and cheated or the employer cheats
himself from eulpahlc ignorance of
his expenses in producing his goods,
and he makes an assignment: or the
sheriff catches him suddenly, aud his
creditors feel bad and eVcu sometimes
very angry,
The cry of to-day Is Cheap Cheap,

low average Of public morality; hut ii

served when labor Of nil kinds brings
living profit. whether IN the making
Of the selling Of goods. The man
who continually bellows out Cheap!
Is not far from fool or cheat II he
sells below real value, he is fool for
throwing away his lawful profit; lie is
falsiticr and cheat if his goods are
actually worth no moro than the price
he gets for them. There is a great
deal of lying III advertising nowadays,
anyhow, and poor human nature has
an immense capacity for being gulled.

Last Thursday evening Scfgennts-
vile and vicinity was visited by the
most severe electrical storm that has
been known in many years. Most OF
the damage done by lightning was
about mile west of the village. John
W. Readings house was struck, but
no serious damage done. A mile dist
ant the large barn on Charles Titus $
place was struck and badly splintered
at the east end Luckily, this part
had been left empty for oats and there
was nothing in il to ignite A short
distance beyond this, on the same
road, VIM. Sanford's house was struck
and several states torn off. The light
ming played some freaks with a wire
fence near Mr.. Sandford's house The
lightning struck the wires and melted
them into small pieces ranging from II
few inches to foot in length.

A severe electrical storm, accom-

city and vicinity, about seven O'Clock
on Thursday evening of last week
During the storm Atllinson's agrieul-

struck by lightning and set on fire
and but for the work of n hastily form
ed bucket brigade and the prompt ar
rival of the fire department, the works
would have been entirely destroyed
In this city the rain fell in torrents
for a while and water ran through the
streets in streams, the cutters being
unable to carry il off The wind blew
a gale and limbs were blown from the
trees. The flag on the railroad station
was blown from its fastenings and
torn in shreds. From reports, it has
been learned that the storm was also
severe in the country. A washout
occurred on the Canal over the river
near Lum berville, stopping traffic.
