WOMAN A BEAST BURDEN.
Heavy Loads Carried by Italians
Through New York's Streets.

Heavy Loads Carried by Italians
Through New York's Streets.
1t Is no uncommon sight to see Ital-
ian women walking along the streets
balancing burdens on their heads that
the average man would prefer to have
sent home on a truck. A few days ago
one of these women passed through
City Hall park. On her head she was
carrying what appeared to be the en-
tire woodwork from the interior Of
some house. The bundle was made up
Of eight pieces Of hard wood, the short
est being fully u feet in length. Each
piece was six inches in width and an
inch thick. The woman steadied this
burden with one hand, while in the
other she carried what one would con-
slider a good load for one person In
the shape Of bundle Of shorter pieces
Of wood.
AS she turned into Center street, near
Chambers, the end Of the load Of lum-
Der on her head came in contact with
the head of a man who was going in
the opposite direction. In order to
prevent hitting him too hard the wom-
an tried to turn to one side, and as she
did so her burden fell to the walk. In
vain she tried to replace it on her head.
At last two men took hold of it, one
at each end. They found that even
their combined strength was just suffi-
cient to lift it up and place it on the
woman's head again. When the wood
was finally adjusted in proper posi-
ton the woman picked up her smaller
bundle and started up Center street.

COURTS RULED BY SUN TIME
Judges In Various States Refuse to
Accept Standard Reckoning.

Judges In Various States Refuse to
Accept Standard Reckoning.
If you ever expect to go to law over
however slightly, don't monkey with
standard time. 1t won't go in the
courts. To be sure, you can't catch
trains If you don't use standard time
to do it, but you will miss the verdict
If you do. In Georgia the court Of ap-
peals decided that the use Of standard
time instead of sun time in regulating
a trial was an error. In the particular
case in question the sun time was fast
er than the railroad time, and a YER
dict was received after II o'clock on
Saturday night by the sun time, though
before IL by standard time. 1t was
decided that sun time should have been
followed.
In Nebraska certain summons was
returnable before justice at 10 o'clock
a. m. The defendant failed to appear.
The justice waited until II o'clock
standard time, which was about half
an hour faster than common time, and
then gave judgment by default The
defendant appeared before II o'clock
common time, and it was held that the
judgment by default was premature
and invalid.
In Iowa there was a question as
to the expiration Of an insurance
policy, which by its terms extended
until IL o'clock at noon of a certain
day. Fire broke out at about 11:45
o'clock a. m. of that day by common
time and about two and a half minutes
after IL O'clock by standard time. The
court held that the insurance was still
in force. 1t did not appear that any
statute had enacted any change in the
ordinary rule which regards noon as
the time when the sun crosses the
meridian. There was evidence of the
customary use of standard time at
that place, but this was held not suf-
f1cient. The court says: at was not
only necessary to show the customary
use of standard time, but that by Gus
tom Of the place at II o'clock at noon
meant at II o'clock standard time."-

A Little OF.

"My necktie is disarranged," Sher-
lock Holmes, Jr, suddenly exclaimed.
His companion looked at him and
said:
How do you know? You haven't
felt of it, and there is no mirror here
that you could have looked into. Some
times, Mr.. Holmes, l am almost forced
in spite of your declarations that you
do these wonderful things by reason
able, human processes, to believe that
you must be gifted with second sight.
Now what has convinced you that your
necktie Is disarranged"
Il noticed man look at my tie just
now and then feel of his own" the
great detective answered.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Only your
tie is all right."-Chicago Times-H Her

Last week the Advocate devoted half
a column to Mayor Graham, of Stuart,
denouncing him for turning from demo-
cracy to republicanism, calling him in
consistent, even limiting at dishonesty,
and heaping Nebraska-Bryanic styled
villification upon him to the extent OF
half column. Then, 10 cap the climax
of abuse and to absolutely prove Mr..
Graham's unworthiness it said he was a
first cousin to the editor of the Allocate.
There are points in abuse beyond which
newspaper should not pass and this is
one of them. OF course if a republican
turns over to the democratic party he is
an honest man. Now if the Advocate
intends to give half column OF abuse
to evsry..man in this section who deserts
it's party this fall it will have to crowd
out even its patent medicine ads.

Unique In Their Alignment.

The highest of the Tennessee noun
tains is the Unaka range, and it's high
est peak is Rattlesnake, the giant that
stands above the Cherokee Indian res
ervation over 1000 feet. Twenty-Five
peaks measure about 5000 feet. A re-
markable fact is that some of these
peaks, standing directly opposite each
other, measure exactly the same
height, while others come within few
feet Of a common height.-Chicago

To Pack Eggs For Long Keeping.

The yolk of the egg spoils much
quicker than the white. For this rea-
son it is important that the yolk should
be surrounded with a layer of the
white. If the egg is placed on the
side or large end the heavy yolk will
settle to the bottom and come in con-
tact with the shell, which admits the
air. If it is placed on the small end it
will always have layer of white be-
tween it and the shell. Eggs absorb
odors easily, therefore only odorless
materials should be used when packing
them.-Ladies' Home Journal.

ten years, fell from a trapeze Sunday
evening to the ground, distance of
about seven feet, and broke the main

located the bones at the elbow joint and
also broke some of the bones at the joint.
DIR. Fulton was called and assisted by
DR.. Brooks they dressed it. The prob
abilities are the boy will have stiff arm
as the breaks in the elbow are hard to
manage. This should be warming to
the boys who have the trapez "fever."
There is much danger in it.

This is indeed a roll of honor. To
have been a supporter of the party then
when it was making it's contest for
freedom and when it was forming the
lines for it's great work of saving the
union, was an honor of which these
worthy old men may we'll be prond.
Men were republicans then for the
principles at stake. The splendid moral
strength gathered into the party then is
what has made it such tremendous
force for good for the half century since.
The memories that surround the for
nation of the republican party are to
many of us almost sacred. The father
of the editor of this paper cast his first
presidential vote for Fremont and to the
time his lips were stilled in death few
years ago he was always ready to speak
in defense of the party and its princi-
pies. The principles of the party were
worth dying for if need be, and many
hearts still bear a wound because f''such
sacrifice.
The above list will be added to as
others report to US. All the above are
for Mckinley now except one, and all
have been given the Fremont badge.
David l.. Anderson is the only man liv-
ing in Audubon county now who voted
in Audubon county for Fremont. There
are three other men in the county who
voted here for Buchanan, Bry Milliman,
A. B. Houston and John Crane. There
are also several good republicans in the
county who were democrats then and
voted for Buchanan.

Things were little exciting for few
minutes in town Monday evening. One
of Ben Mendenhall's ponies which was
tied in front of his residence broke the
post off close to the ground and came
running down Broadway and collided
with James FL. Bakers buggy that was
standing in front of E. Bilharz & Sons
store, which resulted in the buggy be-
ing complety wrecked. The animal get
ting out of the wreckage of the first
buggy took fresh start and ran into a
phaeton belonging to John Weber and
the two rear wheels on it were badly
broken. We understand that this horse
aud it's mate broke buggy to pieces for
Mr.. Mendenhall earlier in the day.
