of cutting as is done by steel.

Notice to Farmers

If you are going to need American or
Page Fence this Spring you will make a
big mistake unless you put your order in
without further delay. This is the great
est year the country has ever known for
Wire Fence, and the factorys are now far
behind with there orders and if you put
off buying you will surely get left. It il
also the opinion of Wire people that the
prices are going to advance. Measure off
about what you will want and call at our
Office and we will give you the very
lowest price possible. We have in stock
for you to see all the different sizes of
Hog and Fence Wire, also Barb Wire.
Leave your order and we will put the
Fence up when ever you say. We ask
no settlement until after the Fence is
up. We buy in car load lots and have
now orders booked for over 5000 rods.
Respectfully yours.

BOYS AND HENS.
Several Surprises About the Making o'
 Kid Gloves.


 Kid Gloves.
 Barefooted boys and hens form a curious partnership in the making of pair of fine gloves. Thousands of dozens of hens eggs are used in cur ing the hides, and thousands of boys are employed to work the skins in clear water by treading on them for several hours, says the Philadelphia Record. When woman buys a pair of kid gloves she speaks of her pur- chase as kids" If the clerk who sold her the "kid" gloves knew the secrets of the glovemaking business he might surprise his fair customer by telllng her that those beautiful, soft, smooth fitting "kid, gloves came from thl stomach and shoulders of the 3-Weeks- old colt, whose neck was slit oI the plains of Russia and whose tender hide was shipped, with huge bundles of other colts hides, to France, where they were made up into kid" gloves; or he might, with equal regard to the truth, tell her that those gloves in the other compartment once darted from tree to tree in South America on the back of the ring-taiIed monkey And if he made the rounds of the store and could distinguish one skin fros another he could point out "kid gloves made ef5a. the skins of kaaga- roos from Au4-ralia. lambs O. sheep from Ohio or 5pa4a e. Lsgl9nd. calves from India, nuskrats from anywhere. musk oxen rom China and other parts of Asia, rats, cats and Newfoundland puppies But the Russian colt, the four-f5oteJ baby from the plains where the Cossaeks live. the colt from the steppes of siberia, where horses are raised by the thousand, supplies the skins which furnish the bulk of the dainty coverings for my lady,s hands

A Mystery Of the Sen.

One of the most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores In 1853. The Is
land Of Corvo was then In the posses
sion Of two runaway British sailors.
One morning there driftod ashore n
craft which had evidently been frozen
In the Ice for II long time. 1t was an
ancient and battered brig, without
maStS bulwark or name, but the
hatChcs were on the cabin doors fast,
and the hulk was buoyant She had lit
tie cargo, and that consisted of skins
and furs in prime condition.
No papers were found in the cabin,
but 1t was figured that she was n
sCaler or trader carrying n crew OF
10 or II, and that she had been pro-
visiOncd for n year. The flour was
spoiled, but the beef was perfectly
preserved. She had been abandoned
when frozen In an iceberg and drifted
for years. The date of the letter found
I'm the fOreCastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half u
century before The two sailors got
out the furs, which eventually brought
them 81 900 and two barrels OF beef
and then set fire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found of It's name or owners.

LIncoIn's Swear Word.

One story that is told of Lincoln re-

ical attitude which Secretary Seward
always maintained toward the presi-

Mr.. Lincoln and the secretary had
managed to escape from a man who
had been boring them, and as they
reached the house the president threw
himself into an armchair and ex-
claimed: .
"By jings, governor, we are here"
Mr.. Seward replied by asking in a
reproving tone:
"Mr. President, where did you learn

Typographical Union Will Submit Sep
aration Project to Referendum Vote.
Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1.-THE In
ternational Typographical convention
yesterday decided by vote of S4 to
rs to submit to a referendum vote the
preamble of the proposition allowing
the stereotypers and electrotypers com.
plete control OF their charter and to
organize members of their craft. De-
tails of the plan of separation were not
discussed and will be allowed to rest
until the preamble is acted upon by
local unions. Both branches of the
printing trade are claiming a victory
and n spirited debate ensued before
the vote.
During the afternoon Frederick
Drscoll addressed the convention in
behalf of the newspaper publishers.
He congratulated the delegates upon
the establishment OF the principle OF
arbitration in settling differences aris-
ing under contracts between the pub
fishers and their employees. He advo-
Gated the further extension Of the
same principle to all differences which
might arise, and especially referring
to the periods covering the termination
Of old contracts and the execution OF
new agreements. He asked for the
adoption of several amendments to the
general laws of the union tending to
improve the mutual relations Of the
employer and the employed. He re-
ferred to the fact that no strike or seri.

Are Working a Smooth Scheme.
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Discov-
cries have just been made, says a
Santa Barbara, Cal, special to the
Chronicle, which are believed to es-
tablish conclusively that wholesale
smuggling of Chinese from British Co.
lumbia into the United States through
Santa Barbara has been carried on.
The revenue officers were notified
several weeks ago and for three weeks
the revenue cutter McCulloch has been
cruising in the waters of Santa Bar
bara channel in search of evidence.
The smuggling scheme is outlined as
follows: Lumber laden vessels leave
Puget sound for southern California
points and after getting well out to
sea run over to Vancouver, B. c., and
pick up Cinnamon who are ostensibly
shipped as part Of the crew. Some
Of these vessels put into Port Harforl /,
San Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as necessary.
When sailing for the north the crews
consist almost exclusively of white
sailors. 1t Is said the evidence shows
that opium has 4so been smuggled
into southern California ports.
