Life is a bureau drawer which sticks,
and through a crack we helplessly
thrust our fingers at the things we
would like to reach.

she always hits somebody.
The ideal woman is one whose pre-

strawberries get cheap.
Three-fourths of the bread cast upon

string tied to it.
In the chase after happiness there are
too many crossroads and too few
guidebOards.
It is a wise woman who never re-

Chicago Journal: The worst thing
about some of these recent trusts is
that they are not trusts at all They
are gigantic schemes for obtaining
money under false pretenses, and their
directors make false pretense Of wick
edness in order to unload their worth

to succeed very well at it, too. If the
investing public had an idea that the

were fishing.
On the other side of the narrow har-

While still further up the beach, on
the hotel veranda, sat two elderly la
dies, one of whom was nearsighted, and

each case; the young men used fiddler
crabs, the young lady her handkerchief
and the elderly ladies their tongues.

boy various questions among them

young lady across the little harbor, and
young and unsuspecting as he was, he

HUNTING THIEVES.

Huntington Farmers Organize for a
Campaign.
Bridgeport, Sept $50 numerous and
so serious have been the chicken thiev-
cries in the towns of Monroe, Trumbull
and Huntington of late that the resi-
dents of those towns have organized to
catch the thieves, if possible, and prose-
cute them to the limit of the law. In
Huntington fifteen farmers have sub
scribed to fund which will be used
in the campaign against the thieves.
A representative of the fifteen waited
on Sheriff Hawley few days ago and
requested that the sheriff deputize q
man whom they Were ready to employ
as a watchman of their memories. The
sheriff felt obliged to deny the request,
but gave advice which, if acted upon.
will doubtless prove to be of assistance
to the victims of the thieves.
The sheriff advice to the HUNTINGTON
man was to ask the selectmen of the
town to appoint the Waterman a spec-
ial constable. His authority within the
limits of the town will be fully as great
as that of deputy sheriff, and Sheriff
Hawley gave the assurance that if the
officers should go beyond the borders of
in pursuit of the thief or
thieves he would not stand in the way
of pursuit.

The mountains of western North Car

summer. From every state south of
Maryland and east of Ohio the tourists
have poured by the thousands, and to-
day the counties west of the Blue Ridge
in North Carolina are thronged with Wis
itors who have fed from the torrid rays
of the sun in the home land to the
shades of these great mountains
The cooling waters of the French
Broad, Swannanoa, Davidson, and Mills
rivers the Pigeon. the Tuckasseege, the
Tennessee Hiwassee Nantahala Toe,
Cane and other rivers and creeks have
been sought by the invalid, the pleasure
seeker and the sportsman, and from the
Blue Ridge to Smoky Mountains every
mountain glen, and gorge and valley and
country side have been filled with those
looking for cooler spot, deeper shad-
ow.
And none have been disappointed.
There has not been night this summer,
between MitchelPs Peak and Chunky
Gal, when sleep was not comfortable
under more or less covering.
1t seems safe to say that between
5000 and $4,000 people are now in our
mountains and still they come And
this throng increases as the years go by.
