A Thoughtful Little wife,

Young Wife-My dear, there is a
gentleman waiting in the other room.
He wants to speak to you.
He-Do you know him?
She-You must forgive me, darling,
but of late you have been troubled
with a cough. besides, you take so lit
tie care of yourself, and-oh, If you
only knew how anxious | am about
you. Suppose We're to lose you, love" "
(She bursts into sobbing and throws
herself on his breast.)
He-Come, my dear, silly child, do be
calm, do be calm. People don't die
of slight cold. Still, if it will pacify
you, show the doctor in. Who is it?
DR.. Pallot, eh?
Shelf isn't doctor. 1t is-it is
life insurance agent!

Slam. Weight. and Measures.

In Siam the liquid measure used is
derived from cocoanut shell which
is capable of holding $50 tamarind
seeds, and 20 of these units equal the
capacity Of wooden bucket. In dry
measure, $50 tamarind seeds make
one ''k'anahn," and % "k'anahn" make
one sat" or bamboo basket; 50 "sat"
make one "kwien." or cart. This is
an example of the primitive origin Of
most units of weights and measures.

At meeting of the Atlantic Post
6. A. R. Friday evening it was de-
cided to have an old soldiers re.
union here next year so the west
part of the county may have a
chance to participate in the annual
gatherings. 1t means a split in the
Cass County Veterans association
as result Of the attitude of the G.
A. r. men OF the east part of the
county, in keeping the reunion at
Anita year after year. A COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Rey-
holds and Hully was appointed to
secure that portion of the tents
which belong to the local post.
Frank Whitney gave $4,000 to the
post for tents and these have been
used by the Veterans association
and the post will ask to have them
returned. 1t is expected that the
posts of Atlantic, Lewis and Girls
void will join in the reunion. The
date has not yet been set but the
local members declare they will
have reunion which will be a
hummer.-Atlantic Messenger.

LOVE RULES ALL.

And said that my limbs were oldf
And said that my blood was cold
And that my kindly fire was fed
And my poor withered heart was dead
And that might not sing OF love?
How could | to the dearest theme
That ever warmed nlinstrel's dream,
So foul, so false recreant prove?
How could l name loves very name
Nor wake my harp to notes of fans?
In peace Love turns the shepherds reed;
In war he mounts the warriors steed;
In halls in gay attire is seen,
In hamlets dances on the green
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove
And men below and saints above,
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

EITHER PHONE.

No political party has eyer met un-
der such favorable circumstances as
did the Republican national conven-
tion in Philadelphia. The unanimous
nomination OF both the candidates for
the offices of president and vice-presi-
dent was unprecedented. Mr.. McKinly
has earned, and well deserves, the COM
pliment. The prosperity of the coun-
try under his administration alone
merits it, without taking into consid-
GRAFTON his able conduct of our affairs
of state during the war with Spain.
There was notable difference between
the harmony of the Republican party
at st. Louis, in the convention of 1896,
and at Philadelphia. Last month
every Republican was working for the
strongest ticket, and there was a unan-
imous verdict for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. The latter has endeared himself
to the people by his clean and honest
administration OF such public offices as
he has held, as we'll as by his bravery
in Cuba They are both strong candi-
dates, politically and personally, and
will gain in strength as the campaign
progresses.

How kamr. Bank raeir Money.

The natives OF that part OF South

iabited by bushmen and Hottentots
have n peculiar system Of banks and
banking.
These Kaffirs among whom this curl
Gus system OF banking obtains live
near Kafrraria, in the south of the
Colony country. The natives come
down south from their country to trade
In the several villages and towns In
large numbers and then return to KAT
fraria.
From those who trade of their own
number they select one who for the
occasion is to be their banker He is
converted into bank of deposit by
putting all the money of those whose
banker he is into a bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want.
When an article is purchased by any
of those who are in this banking ar
rangement, the price OF the article is
taken by the banker from this deposit
money bag. counted several times and
then paid to the seller of the article,
after which all the bank depositors
cry out to the banker in the presence
of the two witnesses selected:
"You owe me so muchw This is then
repeated by the witnesses. The gem
eral accounting comes between the
banker and his several depositors
when all desired purchases have been
made, after which all the natives de-
part for their northern wilds.
