MILLIONAIRE WASHING BOT
TIES TO WIN A BET.
incidentally Banker Norrish Is Prov
ing That He's Not Afraid Of
Work.
nv Associated Press.l ]


Lacrosse, Wis, Sept. 1l.-R. Nor
rish, the millionaire president of the
Bank OF Ortonville, Mimi. is working
ten hours day in a pop factory with
other laborers. clad in oyeralls and
oil cloth apron, washing empty bot
ties that come back to the factory for
reflling and all because a friend
taunted him with being too nice to
perform manual labor.
c. T. Lange, one of the proprietors
of the factory, meeting Norrish on
the street one day dressed in inrmac-
ulate clothing, jokingly remarked that
Norrish had never and probably new
er would perform any sort of manual
labor.
This nettled the banker and he bet
$3.50 that he could work thirty days
in his friends factory at washing
bottles, ten hours a day and was not
afraid of hurting his hands either.
Norrish has worked two days and
his fellow laborers say he has easily
kept up his end. Hundreds of friends
have visited him at his work, which
covers him with dirt and persplration
so that it is hard sometimes to identi-
fy him.
He says he will stick out his thirty
days, and rather enjoys ii.

HOBART A CATTLE CENTER.
Promises to Be General supply Point
for Southwest.

Hobart, okla, Sept 1.-THE city
OF Hobart aspires to be the cattle cen.
ter of the new country as well as
the general supply point for the west
ern part. Being ON the railroad. Ho.
bart had an advantage over Lawton.
which It regards as Is principal rival
in the southwest Hobart had all
the lumber and other things needed
at 'ne start and made rapid headway
in the construction of business houses
and homes. A population of 5000 is
claimed and It is probably that as
many people reside here. The town
IS taking on city airs and its com.
mercial club is reaching out alter bus
mess. The town has progressed so
far in its development that the claim
is made that more women and child.
ren reside here now than at both
Lawton and Anadarko.
The southwestern part of Oklahoma
has for years been regarded as a su.
perior cattle ecuntry and Hobart will
make an effort to secure the business
of this section, Mangum and Granite.
in Greer county, have been rivals for
the cattle trade but Hobart has hopes
of outstripping both towns in the
race.
Several small towns have been laid
out along the Red river in the south
ern part of Kiowa county and Hobart
will furnish the supplies for these
points. It Is expected that within six
months Hobart will have another rail-
road and the new line will run toward
the south, giving the town an outlet
to the north aud south. 1t now has
an outlet to the east and west and
there is MUCH pride in its prophesy
that it VIII be the best railroad town in
the new country.
Steve Holcomb's Claim.
Steve Holcomb, who drew the first
claim in the FL Reno district, located
on quarter section of land adjoin-
ing the townsite of Hobart. A score
or more of people have squatted on
his claim, but his attorneys say he is
in no danger. 1t is expected that the
squatters will leave next month,
when the unoccupied land of the ter
ritory will be opened TO settlement
under the general land laws. Hol-
comb is not saying anything which
would make trouble for him In CON
test case, but 1t known that he in
tends to make his claim a part of
Hobart. His plan is to pay the gov
ernment 81 25 an acre for the land
in fourteen months, and then lay it
out in town lots. Rag Town" where
the people camped before the opening
of the lot sale, was on HoIcomb's
claim.

"You see, auntie, | had just had a

things. There was a bracket against
the wall with openwork sides; and
thought it would be nice to stick

birds had left. At last | found one

birds back into it. I ran right off to
find him. but, while I was looking,
she came out with a little box and

The Invalid's Room.

When possible, the invalid's roops
should have n south or southwest as
pect. A room of medium size is the
best Ventilation is easier to manage,
and there is less to clean than in a
large room.
For many reasons, it is advisable
that, if it can be so arranged, the sick
room should be near the top of the
house In the first place, it is quieter;
noises from the street, as well as those
from the house, will be less noticea-
BILE.
But a far more important reason is
that poisoned and vitiated air has
tendency to rise, therefore, if the sick
room is on the first floor the impure
air will rise to the top of the house,
and possibly affect those who may be
living above the invalid.
If there is a small dressing room ad-
joining the invalid's room. so much the
better 1t will be useful as store
room for extra bedding and reserves
of all kinds.
The sick room must be cheerful in
appearance. Get rid of superfuous
upholstered furniture, which only acts
as dust traps, and in the after disin-
fecting may possibly be spoiled. Heavy
curtains and valances are undesirable
in infectious cases, but there is no rea-
son that pretty wash curtains of lace
or muslin should not be decorative!y

The Printing of Postage Stamps.

In printing, steel plates are used
on which two or more stamps are en-
graved. Two men are Kept hard at
work covering them with colored
inks, and passing them to a man and
a girl, who are kept busy at printing
them with large rolling handpresses.
Three of these little squads are en-
ployed all the time, although 10
presses can be put into use in case
of necessity. After the small sheets
of paper upon which the 200 stamps
are engraved have dried enough they
are sent into another room and
gummed. The gum used for this pur-
pose is a peculiar composition, made
of the powder of dried potatoes, and
other vegetables, mixed with water,
which is better than any other mate
rial; for instance, gum arabic, which
cracks the paper badly. This paper
is of a peculiar texture. somewhat
similar to that used for bank notes.
After having been again dried, this
time on the little cracks which are
famed by steam power, for about an
hour, they are put between sheets of
pasteboard and pressed in hydraulic
presses, capable of applying a weight
of 2000 tons. The next thing is to cut
the sheet in half. each sheet, of
course, when cut, containing a 100
stamps. This is done by a girl, with
large pair of shears. by hand, being
preferred to that of machinery, which
method would destroy too many
other squads, who, in as many opera
tions, perforate the paper between
the stamps. Next they are pressed
once more, and then packed and
labeled and slowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in
mail bags for despatching to fill or
ders. If single stamp is torn, or in
any way multilated. the whole sheet
of 100 stamps is burned. There are
100000 burned every week from this
cause. For the past 20 years not
sheet has been lost, such care has
been taken in counting them. Each
sheet is counted II times.

A Curious Chinese Custom.

According to the rule sanctioned by
centuries of Chinese observance, no
document can have the authority OF
the imperial throne of China unless it
bears red spot placed there by the
sovereign. To the Grand Council the
Tsung-liYamen and all other depart
ments of state takes their business,
and the Grand Council in turn consid-
ers all documents, and attaches to each
a piece of red paper on which its own
decision is written. Each morning at
daybreak the Grand Council proceeds
to the palace to submit the papers to
the sovereign, who, as each document
is produced, signifies approval by max
ing small spot with brush on the
margin of the red paper. With the
red spot upon it the paper is the most
sacred thing in the world to China
man; without it, it may be torn to
shreds with impunity.-Leslie's
Weekly.

them to be shot or sold in the State for
