The way of the World.

Mistakes will happen in the best of
regulated institutions and post offices
are no exceptions, but we believe that
they get blamed for more things where
no blame exists than any other. Let
some fellow the least bit unfrendly to
the office get medicine circular out of
his box that should have been in the
one next to it, and he will go out on the
street and declare that half the mail he
gets belongs to somebody else, and then
the crowd oflosfers, who rarely get any
thing but duns and premiums on tobac.
co tags, will vie with each other to see
who can unfold the biggest tale of woe
about the careless manner in which
their correspondence is handled. This
trait of humanity is aptly illustrated in
the following fable from the Kansas
Mail:
A large husky country dog was trot-
ting peaceably along the street when a
small ran out of an alleyway barking
furiously. In q little while dozen
other dogs had joined in the pursuit of
the country dog without stopping to in.
quire what was the occasion for the ex-
element. In about minute trouble
commenced; and in two minutes more
the large country dog had whipped
three of his pursuers and four fights
had started among the town dogs them
selves. But the first cur who had start
ed the trouble was not in the mix-up.
He was nearly block away and as he
watched the progress of hostilities he
was seen to grin grin of satisfaction
and trot away down side street.
In the meantime the owner of the
country dog had also taken hand, and
with blacksnake whip in one hand
and club in the other was adding ma
terially to the life of the occasion. The
next day one of the town dogs who was
limping along with broken leg, one
eye gone and two ribs cracked, saw the
first mentioned cur and asked for in
formation: "What was the fuss we
got into, yesterday, about anyway?"
Nothing at all, my dilapidated friend,'
answered the first mentioned cur. ~
simply wanted to see how many fools
would jump into trouble without in
vestigation.' The Country Postmaster.

peclamatory Contests.

SSeN~~~ssSSAy
The declamatory and musical con-
test at the City Hall last Wednesday

Edith Wells was awarded silver medal
for oratorical ability, her recitation
of that thrilling story of the Factory
Chimney" Miss Gertrude Smith won
second honors.
In vocal music Alice Pierce received
the medal, her production being, "Little
Black Me- Ada Kramer won second
honors. Much worthy praise and
many commendatory words were ex-
pressed in behalf of each of the con-
testants.
Mrs. l. NJ. Gibson and Mr.. Cal Mar
tin favored the audience with solos
rendered in such way as only artists
can, and while the judges were. weigh
ing the medal ownership, little Sarah
Seaman and Mr.. Fred Holbert recited
respectively "My Brother Willie, and
"My New Buggy" in such a happy
manner as to elicit much hearty ap-
plause and esteem.
Excellent judges were provided those
in music being Miss Wade, Mrs. Fred
Ford and Mrs. Ashmore Kennedy.
In oratory the judges were Miss Pear
Pierce, Mrs. Z. j. Conger, and Prof
Guthrie.
The hall was we'll filled and an OBJ
server would say all necessary features
for successful evenings entertainment
were manifest.

The sword worn by Commodore
Perry, says the Dubuque Herald, one
of the-ablest and greatest of Americas
naval heroes, is in custody Of the
Masonic lodge at Colesburg. Mr.. Jacob
Moreland, a prominent Mason, whore
family were related to Commodore
Perry's family, presented it to The lodge.
The sword was presented to Jacobs
father, one of the pioneers of that
region. The following poem, written
by L. r. Latta, on "The Sword that
Perry Wore," written for the Herald, is
worthy place among the best patriotic
literature of the country:
THE SWORD THAT PERRY WORE.
I've no relish for the strife.
Waged on the battlefield.
Sacrificing human life,
With the weapons soldiers WELD;
But. felt an impress made.
That had not known before.
As viewed the hilt and blade,
OF the sword that Perry wore.
In village, inland far,
By chance, its lot Is cast
Where no more such relies are,
Rests this heirloom of the past.
On Lake Erie's lurid wave,
Mid the cannons' deafening roar,
Welded by Its owner, brave.
Swept the sword that Perry wore.
Beams not now, that soldiers eye
Strikes not now. his valiant hand;
And his clarion battle-cry
Peals no longer. In command.
And his trusty blade, as well,
Shall do battle never more;
But, mid scenes of peace, shall dwell
The proud sword that Perry wore.
e. II, Latta.

but for very hard work of the neigh
bors much other damage would have
been done. The origin of the fire is
not definitely known.
The Crop Bulletin says: "The week
ending Aug. 5 averaged from 1degree to
5 degrees daily above normal, though
as compared with the preceding week
there was fall of about IL degrees in
the daily mean temperature. The
cooler weather, increased humidity, and
the copious rains of July 9th and 2sth
broke the drouth etfectually except in
quite limited areas where the rainfall
was very light The reports generally
indicate fair improvement in the con
dition and prospects of the corn crop,
though in considerable portion of the
early planted area it is damaged be.
You'd recovery except for fodder. Much
of the late planted corn is caring, with
healthy show of tassels, and the yield of
sound ears will depend upon favorable
weather for the balance of the season
without frosts to the end of September
With normal conditions it may yet
bring forth. more merchantable grain
than has been estimated, and if the fod-
der is all saved the value of the entire
crop will fall but little, If any, below
the amount realized from the grain
alone in some recent seasons. At this
stage Of growth and condition no one
can make an estimate of the output of
merchantable corn, for the whole state,
that is worthy of much consideration.
There is very wide divergence in the
guesses, even of the experts, and much
depends upon the point of view
Threshing returns are generally quite
encouraging. Some improvement has
been noted in pastures and immature
field crops. More rain is needed.

better. Manchester secured IA hits of

The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was frightful railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident.
There Is doubtless far greater loss of
life occurring every day, in various Sec
tons OF the country, for which the only
excuse is,--"the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms. These cases are
not the subjects Of special inquest or the
country would he aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance,
1t has been the experience of DR.. R. v.
Pierce and his staff Of assistant physi-
clans, that ninety eight out of every
hundred persons submitting to their
treatment can be cured. People given
up by the local physicians, weak, ema-
ciated, with stubborn coughs and bleed
ing lungs have been absolutely cured by
the use of Or. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Sick people are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All letters are
held as strictly private and treated as sa-
credly confidential. Answers are mailed
in plain envelopes without any printing
on them.
