FLORENCE FINAL COUNTY SATURDAY.

ows and such other benevolent meas ures were being passed more or less regularly along with patriotic resolu- tions, and what little was said about the bill was thrown out in such way as to appeal to the sentiment of the solons. In an effort 10 prevent the desecration of graves, however, the legislators took a step, the importance of which they never realized, and the facts alleged ill the case follow: Ever since the Chicago 6 West Michigan railway was built, it's wester4 terminal was at New RHtTalo. where 1t formed junction with the Michigan Central, over the racks Of which it entered Chicago As Ehe business of the road developed, it was found that the trackaee ehare Haee inraads into tha ineasas of the eeass.aHy 10 the poiat where it was deemed desirable to !9 away with them. Aeeerdirgls fae heads of IAa road de eide1 . build their oen line into Chi eaBo, and accordingly through thei1 agents, began to purchase rights of way wherever desired. Most of the proposed route ran through the sand dunes along the upper end Of Lake and Porter counties, and here the Knickerbocker Tee company, of Chi, aago, owns vast tracts of land from which it takes sand for it's ice houses. and for building purposes in Chicago. The new route of the railway will cut through their most valuable sand de- posits. and the Eniekerbockerc company steadfastiy refused to sell.

REPAIRING STOCKINGS.
An Economical Way of Keeping the Children's Feet Cow
 cred.
Stockings are so much improved ir

Stockings are so much improved in quality and reduced in price that t no longer pays to knit them laborious- ly by hand, as our grandmothers did. Some industrious women spend their leisure in knitting stockings by ma chinery. which is much more rapid work than knitting them by hand H. still pays io run the heels and toes of fine stockings of silk or cotton t0
 make them wear longer at those vulner- able points. The old-fashioned idea that no stocking could be successfully footed by sewing is now dene away with by the fneness of the modern stoekinet of manufacture. After tho feet of children's stockings arc past alarming cut them off. Cut feet out of the whole legs of one pair and sew them together with as few ssanss as possible, and sew these feet on a pair of stocking legs, taking similar seams. If these seams are properly taken they will not chafe or hurt the most deli cate foot. If the upper part of the stocking is thin run the heel and toe part of these sewn stockings. The success of the work of these made- over stockings depends, of course, upon the way the seams are put in. 4 stitched seam afterward opened and 'scat-stitched" fiat is one of the softest seams for this purpose.
 Little babies and elderly people, or invalids who suffer from cold feet. should wear woolen stockings even in summer, varying heavy stocking for lighter one in hot weather.

and change their stockings often. Air ing the stockings in the open air will
 be often all that is Iecessary; if more washing is needed to freshen and puri- fy them after being worn scald the feet of the stockings and rinse them in cold water and dry them in the open air. No stockings should be worn long enough to require rubbing with soap
 on board. It destroys the color and helps to wear out the stockings more than the actual wear does. Never iron hosiery; it stretches it out of shape. A stocking does not fit to the leg so well 1r look and feel as comfortable f it is

Col Alexander was a kind hearted
man and did many charitable acts
which he never mentioned even to his
most intimate friends and relatives. He
often filled his buggy with food and
clothing and carried them to some suf-
fering family. He never refused to con-
tribute to any charity he was asked to
aid but never spoke to anyone of his
gifts.
Col. Alexander's funeral took place
