Backing Up the Horse.

Not all of the drivers skill Is devoted
to driving ahead; 1t takes good driver
to be able to back up in good shape.
Not every driver, by any means, can
halt and then back up to curbstone
and hit it square and true with both
wheels the first clip. That is something
that requires more skill than might be
imagined by one who had never tried
It.
But In backing up on the level, if a
man fails to hit the curb exactly the
FIRST time, he can maneuyer until he
does. There are places where skill
must be exercised and where a level
head is called for too. For instance,
in backing up, or rather backing down.
into an excavation on the inclined
causeway left for that purpose The
excavation is begun at the rear Of the
lot, and the earth forming the cause
way, running up to the level Of the
street at the front, is left until the last.
In the later stages Of the excavating
the causeway is left just wide enough
at the top for the carts or wagons TO
move on, and It's sides slope down pre-
cipitously. The driver who backs
down on one Of these narrow cellar
causeways simply must hit it right

what the Church Carpet Cost.

The Chicago Advance gives the fol-
lowing estimate Of the direct and col
lateral cost of church carpet. The
price was $500, but as the women Of
the church raised the money by CIV
ing entertainments the pastors esti-
mate was that when all the items Of
cost were figured in the carpet had cost
fully $4,000. He reached this aston
ishing total by estimating the work,
worry, nervous strain, bodily weari-
ness and heartaches Of 100 women,
the heroic efforts Of men, women and
children to eat the things which were
to be eaten and hear, see or buy things
which had been provided to extract
money from them; the colds, fevers
and other ailments contracted while
attending the entertainments and the
consequent doctors bills; the money
spent in other churches, for If they
come to your entertainment you must
go to theirs, and, worst and most cost
" Of all, the Generalization Of the
church and the curtailment Of the le-
gtumate giving which follow in the
train of such methods of raising mon
ey. But they got their carpet.

TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 21 1899
No Newfnng1ed Stove For Her.


a Memphis family which employs an
old time negress as .. cook recently had
q gas range put in the kitchen. When
the range was put in place, the work
man who put it there lighted the Jets
inside the oven and then closed the
doors. He opened them, turned off the
gas and then, relighting the Jets, ex-
planned to the old negress how the
range was used. The jets cannot be
seen when the doors Of the oven are
closed, and in the excitement Of the eX-
PLANTATION the workman closed them
and forgot the lighted jets.
The old negress, after hearing all he
had to say, said:
"Tain't no use ter tell me erbout
hit. I'm gwinter use dis yere ole wood
stove whit Ise cooked on so long
The workman laughed and went
away, not thinking that the old cook
meant what she said. She did mean
1t, though, and continued to use the
old wood stove to cook with.
When the head Of the family that
employs her received his gas bill 10
days after the gas stove was put in, he
almost dropped dead The bill showed
that he owed the gas company 81.
Investigation proved that the jets in
the oven had been burning from the
time the workman left. The old cook
had never opened the oven DOORS

Burglary With Sponge and Water.

When q burglar wants to break into
q Peruvian house, he takes a sponge
and a bucket of water and moistens
the walls, which are covered with only
a thin coating Of mud and easily dis
solve upon the application Of moisture.
Then when the mud is removed he
takes sharp knife and cuts the strips
Of split bamboo, which serve as sub
stitute for laths. That easy little oper-
alton produces hole in the wall large
enough for a man to crawl through
and can be performed so silently that
people sleeping in the house will not
be awakened. Not long ago the resi-
dence of the cable manager at Barran-
CO was entered in this way. The
thieves frightened the family, but
were discovered before they had seized
much booty.-Chicago Record.

A Sure Sign of Group.

Hoarseness in child that is subject
to Group is sure indication of the ap.
proach of the disease. If Chamber
lsin's Cough Remedy is given as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough has appeared,
it will prevent the attack. Many
mothers who have croupy children
always keep this remedy at hand and
find that it saves them much trouble
and worry. 1t can always be depended
upon and is pleasant to take. For

LONG WAIT FOR CREDITORS.
Gillett's Cows Will Scarcely Pay His
Debts Soon.

Lawrence Journal: The most
wearisome pipe story that has found
currency in Kansas for some time is
the one about Grant Gillett, to the
effect that he is running dairy farm
in Mexico, milking seventeen cows
with his own hands, his wife taking
care OF the milk, and the two clearing
twenty dollars day. TO start with,
that is more than dollar a day clear
profit on each COW and any one who
had ever fed Mexican COW and be.
came wealthy on the proceeds will
realize the eminent accuracy of the
statement. 1t is further announced
that if his creditors will let him alone
he will soon make enough money to
pay all of them what he owes. II
Gillett's creditors wait until he makes
enough out Of his seventeen Mexican
COWS to pay half million Of indebt-
edness, they will get their money at
about the same time they will receive
it il they hope to get it from any
other source.

Is in Hard Luck.

Letters from Henry Hornberger
formerly Of this county but now Of
Lockhart, Mimi, tell hard luck hail
story. Mr. Hornberger moved from
Dickinson county to his present loca-
ton several years ago, and with the
assistance of some grown sons took a
section of land with arrangements to
pay for it by crop payments. Last
year they did fairly well and this year
their crops were promising, but
shortly before harvest were destroyed
by hail, SO that from l5O acres Of
wheat be realized but 45 bushels Of
grain, and from 70 acres Of flax they
did not realize the seed Oats, il
they had any, was also destroyed.
They are left without seed or feed.
They raise no corn, being too far
north. The River Brethren will send
him generous contributions.

1t is probable that a petition will
be prepared and forwarded to the

that a Pullman car be attached to the

Superior to Kansas City. 1t is GER
tain that it would be greatly appre-

could 60 to bed at 1890 p. m. and

breakfast after good nights rest.
As it is now it is back-aching, soul
racking experience to take the trip in
a chair car or common coach. The
Santa Fe has very accommodating
schedule and the proposed course
would be appreciated all along the
line. 1t would greatly increase travel
and would be much better than any
night trip now possible out Of this
city. The train is filled daily and a
Pullman would receive generous pat.

GOOD FOR TIE UNION PACIFIC.
Travelling on the Plug Is Now a
Pleasure.

The Union Pacific deserves avote Of
thanks-it has put straight smoke
stacks with cinder-arresters on the
plug passenger traio. Travellers can
take passage on that train without
feeling that they will look like Fill
pinos when they reach their destina-
ton. 1t is Clearly, pleasant and de-
cided novelty. The U. P. has long
been known as the dirtiest road in
the west-it has taken one step to-
ward being one of the cleanest and
pleasantest. With its handsome YES
tibuled trains and perfect road bed it
has every facility for giving its pa.
irons a magnificent service. If it will
only continue its good work and
equip all its engines with modern
smokestacks several thousand people
will daily call it blessed.

Opera House Season Opening.

John Dillon opened the opera house
s,ason with "Jolly Uncle Jolly" Sept.
9th to a small audience. The play
has been given here before. Mr.. Dill
lon is all right but his support is
very, very poor. He is the only &C.
tor in the company. The opera house
has been considerably improved-a
picture Of Dewey has been tackled up
over the drop curtain. There is no
other change. Only one seat broke
down last night during the perform
ance-usually there are three. New
rules on dress have been adopted
shirt sleeves are allowed, provided it
is pink shirt. The men probably
argue that if shirt waists 90, shirt
sleeves ought to.
The next attraction is the Morey
Stock Co. to be here all the week Of
Oct. GA.
