Vacation Time.

Vacation time has come, and if
there is any time of the year that
should be welcomed it is this. The
week, two weeks or four weeks
outing for the man at the desk is
necessity, and JOY when the me-
cessity is satisfied. Where to go is
esuallv the great question, and this
is frequently decided by the size of
the purse. Those who have the
means will go to Paris, delight.
full trip, but no vacation. The sea-
shore, the lakes, the mountains and
the islands ofthe sea will be visited
and each will endeayor to find as
much pleasure and recreation as
possible. In this busy age, when
rush and work are the ruling pas
sions, season of idleness, when
the jaded faculties may have time
TO rest and recuperate, is of great
value. Men are not machines, un.
less they make themselves automa-
tons as many do by constant and
never-ending labor. Work becomes
second nature TO them. Like the
prisoner of Cbillon, who, when
given his liberty, longed for his
customary confinement, the ma
chine man is i'll at ease and out OF
sorts unless he is at work. Work
has become necessary. part Of his
existence.
- Vacation should be q vacation;
and not merely 3 change from one

To Keep Irish Potatoes.

AT Fayetteville, Ark, we met
growers who gave US the following
recipe for keeping Irish potatoes.
They havo demonstrated its value
by practical experiments and the
method is not expensive.
After digging the potatoes and
storing in the cellar or dark place,
scatter slak ed lime over them. A
sieve could be used for sprinkling
on the lime. Stir up the potatoes
so that all Will be covered. 1t is
better TO have the potatoes 10 TO
IA inches deep on shelves or in
boxes. So treated. potatoes will
keep sweet and sound through the
winter. lobe Stearns and S. A.
Peck treated their potatoes this
way with perfect success. Mr..
Peck says this treatment did not
injure them in the least for plant.
ing. Mr.. Stearns tells the eX.
perience of two neighbors in In
dian Territory. One lined his po'
tatoes. the other did not. The
lined ones kept until they were
eaten; the unlimed ones rotted in
side of two weeks.
Many have let their potatoes rot
in the ground, believing they would
not keep. Here is positive rem.
edy against rotting at almost nc
expense. Tho Southwest.

The House.

which gives to it supreme impor-
lance in tho eyes of the people. II is
the highest, most powerful office IN
the republic. The man who becoms
president ofthe. United States reach
es the pinnacle Of American ambi-
ton. Veneration, therefore, for
the Office has led many people into
the belief that all our blessings as
well as all our misfortunes are due
to the president. If there is n
drouth in Minnesota or a Geludge
in Mississippi, the president Is 10
blame. Ifwheat goes TO dollar
and cotton reaches ten cents tn
president did it. If trade is good,
he is entitled to our thanks, if it is
bad he is assailcd with our damns.
Political platforms encourage these
delusions, and so we half way be-
lieve that our magnificent export
trade is due entirely to William
Mckinley, while Grover Cleveland
was responsible for the financial
panic which came upon this coun-
try when he had been in Office few
months. The utter absurdity of
this sort Of thing is apparent to
any sane man, and of course the
politicians do not believe any such
nonsense. When Benjamin Harri-
son was defeated for president, the
Republican explanation was that
it was due to the hard times. We
know that the financial condition
of the government was such that a
bond issue had been prepared.
The Harrison administration, how
ever, concluded to slough it out"
and let Cleveland wrestle with the
deficit. Cleveland had left at the
end Of his first term a splendid
surplus in the treasury, which the
Harrison administration at once
proceeded to dissipate. When
Cleveland became president the
second time, the hard times which
had defeated Harrison, according
to the Republican contention, were
upon the country, and he was con.
fronted with the prospect of 3 lord
ly deficit. 1t is absurd to say
that the failure of banks all over
the country was due to the elect
ion of a president in whom the
banking interests of the country
had more confidence than in any
other public man in the United
States. 1t is just as absurd to say
that our great export trade is due
to William Mckinley, unless Will
liam Mckinley is the personal
agent of Deity.
| 1t is time that the American peo-
pie were learning that the prosper
ity Of this great republic and the
safety OF its institutions do not
depend upon one man. 1t is OF
course, desirable that the Demo.
Gratis should elect their candidate
for president, but. interest in thi.
race should not blind them TO the
Importance of the congressional
elections. If proper effort i.
made, the Democracy can secare a
ma ority in the next house OF rep
resentatives. The fifty-sixth con-
gress as constituted at the begin
ming of the session contained Is;
Republican representatives. l6s
Democrats and 9 Populists. In
other words the Republicans had s
ajority of only l3. There is GER
, tainly chance to make Democrat
ic gains in several Western States
f For example, there arc seven Re
, publican congressman in Kansa:
) and only one Democrat; six Re
publicans congressman from Cal
4 ifornia and one Democrat; eleven

BURGLARY AND FIRE AT SAWYER.

A store Was burglarized and after
ward set afre at Sawyer early Monday
morning. The store building were the
property of Mr.. Weber and the mer-
chandise was owned by Mr.. Comber.
Only few sacks of -four was saved.
The building is said to have been unIn.
sured. The goods were insured for
$500. The stock is estimated at g.
600 or more
No clue of the guilty parties has yet
been found. Two constables accom-
panied by Mr.. Wilmot were in the
city on Monday but found no trace.
The citizens of that community are
positive that the crime IS the work OF
burglars for the reason that some goods
were found a short distance from the
burning store which were evidently
lost while the casfs Eta were getting
away, and a door showed that some.
one had entered. The entire store was
saturated with oil and it was impossi.
BILE to check the flames.
There seems to be whole lot of dew.
iltry in this part of the country and
somebody will get his dose sooner OF
later.

A WEEK or SORROW

! Death has again Invaded our city and
two of our best families. In the one,
husband and two small children are
left to mourn the earlv departure of an
affectionate wife and devoted mother;
in the other, fond. hopeful parents have
laid away their only child. the jewel of
the home.
ELLEN A. KIDD.
The death of this good woman &C.
cured on Saturday morning, December
1. 1900, at half past six O'Clock. Mrs.
Kidd was taken sick ON Tuesday and
on Thursday her condition became so
bad that the physicians pronounced the
case hopeless. Loving relatives and
anxious friends surrounded the bedside
until the last moment, ministering as
much as possible to her comfort and
hoping in vain for some favorable in
dication for recovery. But it was not
| to be.
Her maiden name was Ellen A.
Shaughnessy. She was born i'll St.
LOUIS. where her parents now reside.
July %, 1872. She was married July
q, 1891, in the city of Chicago, to Chas
w. Kidd, and since her marriage she
and her husband have lived IN this city
most of the time. Mrs. Kidd was

and sympathetic friends.
