INTERESTING NEWS.

A whiskey drummer, who has
sold the liquid damnation for twenty
five years past, stood in the Globe
Hotel the other day and made a
speech that ought to make every
temperance man shake hands with
himself, He said:
In this section of the county the
sale of whiskey is decreasing every
year. We sell less and less of it with
each succeeding year. People have
quit drinking. 1t is no longer con-
sidered in good form to swill it. A
drunken man is a disgrace. A tip
pier cannot hold job anywhere that
is respectable and progressive. The
railroads won't have him neither
will anybody else. The sentiment
is getting stronger all the time. The
teacher, the preacher and the paper
are all creating sentiment.
In twenty years from now the
whiskey problem will have solved
itself. Beer, Soda water, lemonade,
milk shake and other light bever-
ages will have crowded it out of the
saloon and the drug store into the
medicine chest of the doctor. Cen

A number of school boards in Mont

test the validity of the veto of the
school appropriation by Governor
Stone. The Grangers are condemn
ing his action and he may hear from
other sources opinions as to his con.

es will the State be in any better
financial condition in the future, or
any better able to reinstate the full
amount of the five million appro-
priation, if present methods are
continued.

BEWARE

This verb has many cautionary
usages and is in frequent demand to
warn the unwary. Some few of
which may be incidentally noted. To
a class of youth the song says ''be-
ware young man, she's fooling you,
to the one with more money than
discretion, ''beware of pick -pock-
cts, >, TO those with tempting calves,
beware the dog" The elder
Weller impressed on Sammys mind
that he was to "beware of the vid-
ders" and perhaps this might
be peculiarly appropriate here too.
A similar caution to beware is ex.
tended against fool bicycle riders,
and a Temperance orator shouts out
the warning beware, against the
ruddy wine or the refreshing beer,
and the preacher says with tremu-
lrous fevor beware Of Satan and his
wiles. Many Episcopalians pointed
ly expressed an opinion TO Bishop
Potter that he beware OF DIR. Briggs,
but it has remained for Milford,
which is usually more progressive
than any other part of the United
States, to strictly localize this red
flag word into beware of the Pres
Pyteriaps." ="

A Hindu looks upon the slaughter
OF an animal with the same dread
and horror with which he would wit
ness the taking of life of human
being. 1t would be well for some of
the hunters from our own country to
learn from such pagans a lesson in
humanity. Rev. b. Fay Mills tells the
story of hunter who employed as n
decoy for deer Il peculiarly construct

voice of young fawn calling its
mother.
With his rife in hand ready for
instant action, he was one day blow
ing his whistle, when suddenly
mother deer thrust her head out of the
bushes and looked straight toward
him. There she stood, trembling with
fear, yet looking this way and that

supposed to be in danger. The hunter
said:
"As l looked into those eloquent
eyes, anxiOusly glancing here and
there with maternal fear, my heart
melted. l could not shoot"

travellers. The writer, while driving
along a country road in northern

Recently an eminent physician gave
utterance to the opinion that appendi-
citis is more common in this country
than in others because OF the Yankee
custom that men have-and men are
more frequently sufferers from the
disease than women-of habitually sit
ting with one leg thrown over the 9TH
er. This habit, the physician was
quoted as saying, restricts the action
OF the digestive apparatus, and es-
pecially the lower Intestine, and
causes stagnatiOn Of the contents and
the stretching OF the opening Of the
vermiform appendix, making it posi-
BILE for distractions to reach the latter,
and thus giving rise to appendicitis.
There is no other disease, II we may
Judge from the attention given to 1t
by current publications, in which the
general public takes so much interest
as this one. which is comparatively
new to medical practice. Probably
much OF the popular interest is due
to the fact that only within a few years
what may be called the literature Of
appendicitis has reached the reading
community.

Rats are playing havoc with the
underground telephone and telegraph
cables in st. Louis. They have dis
covered that the wires are covered
with paraffined paper, and they rather
like the taste. To satisfy their ap-
petites, they must gnaw through the
lead casing around the wires. 1t has
happened in number of cases that the
rats in gnawing through the lead
cables, to get at the creased paper,
have barred the copper wires in such
a manner as to make it impossible to
establish communication over them
Every time this happens II costs the
company whose wires are interrupted
all the way from few dollars to
several hundred. The telephone men
are trying to devise some means of
stopping the depredations.

OBITUARY.
MRS. AMANDA QUICK.

After an illness of pneumonia, of
some weeks duration Mrs. Quick de-
parted this life Thursday evening
June Sth at the home of her son on
Centre Square. She was born IN
Delaware Township, this county,
October 25th 1922, and was a daught-
er of the late Cornelius and Han
nah Steele, Cortright. She mar
ried JohnV. Quick, who died in 1896,
and lived in this place until some
twenty-five years ago when they
removed to farm in Montague N.
j. After the death of her husband
she came to reside in Milford. She
was woman possessed of many
amiable qualities, an excellent neigh
Dor, a warm friend, dutiful wife,
an affectionate mother and for thir-
ty years a consistent member of the
M. E. church. She is survived by
two children George r., with whom
she lived and Miranda, wife of Frank
Dewitt of this place, and by three
brothers, William H., of Milford, +;
Webb w of Matamoras and Henry
NJ, of Delaware township. A sister
Sarah, who married James Rosen-
eranse, resides in Michigan. The
funeral which was largely attended
was held Sunday from the M. E.
Church. The floral tributes were
numerous and beautiful, and the
decorations at the church, which
had been prepared for Childrens'
Day, made the surroundings typical
of that land of everlasting bloom to
which her spirit had taken its
flight.

You have probably seen great
deal in the papers lately about for
mer United States Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, or perhaps you have
heard your father talking about him.
Here is Il story they tell about the
Senator when he was a boy which
partakes a great deal more ofpolitics
than generosity.
Coming home from a trip the faith
er of Senator Quay called HIM into
the room and said that he had
brought home with him two pres
ents. One was for Matthew ana one
for his sister and he was going to give
him his choice. The he showed him
little Bible and a tin sword and
asked him which he wanted. Mat
thew promptly said he wanted the
Bible. His father was very much
pleased but also ast0nished and ask 70
ed him why he had make such a
choice. Matthew truthfully ans
wered:
"Why | know that sister would
not want the sword and if | took the
Bible then would have them
both.

RELIGIOUS INFoRMATIoH.

The parties in charge were quite
successful in maintaining as a fam
lily secret the fact that a county SIS
convention was to be held in Mil
ford this week, and it seems to have
leaked out only through inadven-
tence, or the children, only a short
time previously. People wonder,
sometimes, why other, or worldly
enterprises, are well attended
and pay, while religious SER
vices are so poorly attended and the
cash receipts are so small. The
worldly wise individual pays his
good hard dollars for printers ink
and plenty of it, while the religious
bodies, who get their advertising
free, and in most cases it is cheer
fully given, apparently try to keep
intelligence of their services out OF
the papers, and if reporter at
tempts to worm out the secret, he
is met with the meagerest informa
ton. Gentlemen of the pulpit, Sat

large majority of the average

counted on to leave you severely

them in your church. The Press

Mr.. Swayze asked tho court to

CHICKENS ON BROAD STREET.

There are a few people along
Broad street who pride themselves
in having their front yards deco
rated with flowers of various kinds
and which are very attractive and
noticeable at this time of year
But, what is most discouraging and
trying TO these people is having to
be run over by an adjoining neigh
boris chickens, scratching the flow
ers up and damaging the looks of
the beds in general. This chicken
nuisance should be stopped by the
village authorities Immediately.

TEXAS SINGING WELL.
II Gives out weird Sounds and Rises
and Fails with the wind.

and Fails with the wind.
About three miles west Of Cedar
Bayou, Harris county, Texas is a re-
markable well. When 1t was dug no
one can tell, but II has been in exist
ence for more than 80 years. The well
is known as the Singing Well"
In calm, fine weather sound like
that of an AeOlian harp comes upward
between the angles of vines below. At
times the sound seems nearer and
clearer; then again It recedes, as IL far
away, and reaches the ear very faint
ly. These changes take place every
few minutes and with great regularity.
With an east wind blowing the water
in the well gets very low and the mys-
terious musical sound very faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise and the sound to increase in vol
ume and clearness.
But it is Just before a great nOrther
that the old well plays its widest
pranks. Then. for several hours, the
water rises to within a few feet OF the
top of the well and emits the weirdest,
widest noises that ever reached hu-
man ears. At such times even the
water drawn out with buckets means
and walls as If in anguish.
The well is about 80 feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which II
is located was bot ght by Mr.. Wat
kins. who, not liking the sounds that
came from the well employed two men
to fill it up. They shoveled dirt into
the well two weeks. but 1t did not
effect the depth of water perceptibly,
and they threw up the contract.
From the measurements of the ex-
cavations they had made it was cal
culated that the well should have been
filled up little more than twice.
The water is very clear. with blu
ish tint, and is fairly palatable. No
other wells in the neighborhOod show
such pranks as are played by the
Singing Well.'
