BE Careful.

arms, too much caution cannot be
exercised; while accidents are of
an almost, daily occurrence, one
peculiarly distressing occurred
near Cassville, a few days ago.
Sarah Blanche, the twenty
months old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. W. Chilcoat, was playing
in the yard near the house when
suddenly it screamed and fell to
the ground. The mother rushed
out of the house and upon picking
up her child found blood oozing
out of hole in its head. 1t is
supposed that the child was hit by
spent bullet, as several shots

Our Presidents name is pro-
nounced several ways, but there
is only one correct way Secre-
tary Loeb says he has been asked
IL thousand times as to the pro
nunciation. Probably the major
ity Of people pronounce the name
with the sound of the two o's,
but tins is Incorrect. The name
is composed of three syllables,
and is pronounced as if spelled
Rose-a-yelt, with the accent on
the tirstsyllable. Practically the
same sound is obtained by spell
ing the name Ro-sie-velt, with the
accent on the first syllable.

Rev, Irl R. Hicks is Not Dead,

Notwithstanding a widely cur
rent rumor that Rev. Irl h. Hicks
was dead, he never was IN better
health, and never did a harder
and more successful years work
than that just closing. He had
just completed his large and
splendid almanac for 1902 and,
with his staff of able helpers, has
brought his journal, Word and
Works, justly forward into inter
national reputation. For a guar.
ter of century Mr.. Hicks has
grown in reputation as the peo-
pies astronomer, and forcaster
of storms and the character of
coming seasons. Never were his
weather forecast so sought after
as now, his timely warning of a
serious drouth this year having
saved the people from loss and
suffering. Millions of bushels of
wheat were harvested through
his advice to plant crops that ma
ture early. The American peo-
pie will certainly stand by Prof.
Hicks when it costs them so little
and the benefits are so great.
His fine almanac of 200 pages is
only % cents, and his splendid
family journal is only one dollar a
year including the almanac.

FEW NEW MEMBERS IN
The COMING CONGRESS-,


uhu AtV hVtvO"sVo'
Iu the Fifty y-seventh Congress,
which will assemble at Washing
ton, Dec. 2, less than the usual
number of new mem bers will be
found in the House of Represen-
tatives. This body is composed
of 357 members and five Dele
gates, the latter representing the
Territories. Porto Rico remains
outside with a Commissioner.
This Com missioner has no voice
IN the House, but is graciously
given the privilege of the floor.
In dealing with the member
ship of the House the Delegates
are not taken into account. The
357 Representatives are divided
politically into three classes, the
Republicans having 1917, the Dem
ocrats 125 and the Populists and
Silverites 8. A quorum is com
posed of majority of the entire
membership. The republicans
strength exceeds the combined
opposition by 81, and, with Is in
excess of quorum, they should
have little trouble in having pre-
sent at all times a sufficient num-
Der of their members to control
the House.
OF the 357 members, 81 only
were not in the last Congress,
and Of these five have had pre-
vious service in the House. 1t
may, therefore, be said that only
S6 new members will appear be-
fore the bar to answer to the ini-
tial roll call.
The fact that there will be so
few new members in the House
is regarded by some observers of
affairs as giving assurance that
the speaker will be able to an
nounce the standing committees
at a much earlier period than
usual, and that the House is like
ly to be fully prepared to enter
actively upon business within a
week or 10 days after organiza-
ton.
Opinions expressed by Sena-
tors and Representatives who
have been in Washington within
the past few weeks, and those
who are now there for the ses.
sion, leave no doubt as to the
principal matters that will come
before Congress at an early day.
These are reciprocity, the Nicar-
aqua canal and the ship subsidy.
With regard to the former two
the indications favor their pass
age. There will be some oppo-
sition to the subsidy. But the
general belief is that a measure
of some kind will be forced
through before the close of the
first session.

A report comes from Monu-

while the fire clay miners were
on the clay train returning from
their work in the mines, a deer
came bounding down over the
side of the mountain and leaped
over the moving train. The deer
made the jump successfully, but
one of the miners had his gun
with him and as soon as the deer
landed on the ground a bullet
from the gun killed the frighteu'

1875 pounds, was taken to Monu'

A writer who has studied the
horse and mule question, has
this to say concerning the ami
mails A mule will live on one
half what a horse eats, and do
more work. A mules working
years are twice as long as those
of a horse. When a mule runs
off he always keeps in the road,
whereas horse always tries to
smash things; no one ever heard
of mule hurting anything in a
runaway. In fact, mule is so
well behaved and Industrious that
people despise him and talk about
him. You have heard him accu-
sed of being a vicious kicker, but
when you hear of farmer being
kicked to death, you will note that
a horse did 1t.

The PerilS of Night
on an Ocean Liner,

night against dangers which may
at any moment spring from the
utter darkness ahead?
Ger tainly very few, says the
London Express, and millions of
those who have not travelled on
such vessels know nothing what
ever about the manner in which
passengers are protected from
peril.
Chief Officer Armstrong,of the
Celtic, which is the largest ship
ahoat, gives an interesting ac-
count of how the work of watch
ing is carried on.
Each of the 313 men who COM
pose the crew has his special
duty to perform. The burden of
responsibility is felt keenly by
the men on the stem head, or
foremost point in the bow of the
ship; in the "crow's nest, on the
bridge and in the engine room.
On the stem head, in ordinary
weather, there are usually two
men. When it is heavy weather,
misty or hazy, three men are
there.
In the 'crow's nest" there are
also two men. These men are
practically the eyes of the ship.
They are selected with especial
care and receive more pay than
ordinary seamen.
Before a man can become a
lookout his eyesight is rigorous
ly tested both as to distance and
color. No one may act as look
out on ship like the Celtic with
out first obtaining a certificate as
to physical fitness from the Board
of Trade. OF course, the main
point for sighting objects when
out at sea is IN the "crow's
nest" on the masthead. The
"crow's nest" men must see
things before the officer on the
bridge sights them. Ifan officer
on deck makes out an object be-
fore the "crow's nest" man de-
tects it, the latter gets a repri.
mand.
At night lookout men have to
be very much on the alert for
sounds. Both the hearing and
seeing of these men are tested,
and their eyes and ears must be
well nigh perfect. In a fog the
safety of the ship depends as
much upon the hearing qualities
of the lookout as upon anything
else.
Lookout men on the stem head
have telephone close at hand, by
means of which they may com
municate with the officers on the
bridge.
Look-outs have two hours on
duty and four off. They earn
about "a per month.
The next place forward-where
lookout work is combined with
other duties-is the bridge. In
fair weateer two officers are al
ways on duty on the bridge; in
foul weather, three. The captain
often stays on the bridge for
hours when there is any danger.
One of the most important
places on shipboard is at the
wheel. In ordinary weather but
one man is actually at the wheel
steering.
Though one man is at the
wheel, there are always two on
hand. These men are known as
quartermasters. One stands at
the wheel while the other is at
call on a moments notice.
Usually the quartermaster not
steering is outside the pilot house
within sound of the wheelman s
voice. Quartermasters have four
hours on duty and four hours off
when the ship,is at sea.
In misty weather a special man
is detailed to blow the boats
whistle at given intervals.
The crews assigned to each
life boat ON board examine their
boats each night and report that
they are in good condition.

behcld a tall, handsome young fellow,

blissfuly unconscious of the hard,
practical world that beat on the
highways near them. Soft breezes
flowed about their bowed, happy
heads, drenching them with nectarine
odors. Birds above flashed in the
sweet, lush foliage, and chatted
about love. Butterflies befrockled the
air with swift, changing hues, Ono

She brings her pretty knitting (bless herd

That by and by will serve to dress her
In new and charming graces
She sits ana rocks, her rocker Ginning,
In measured cadence, TO my rhyming.
Sometimes with eye that proudly glistens
l read a sonnet l have written;
She counts her stitches while she listens,
Or pulls a thread, to make it fit in
And, with her gaze intent upon it,
Asks what they pay me for a sonnet?"
She little knows of rhyme or metre,
And cares still less, but asks me whether
Chiffon and roses would look sUeeter
To trim her hat than jet and feather?
And while I'm framing odes 10 Cupid
She tells me Poetry is stupid"
But oh, her eyes! Her silken lashes-
Her hairs sweet mutinles-the dimples
In cheek and chin--the outward flashes
OF inward smiles-her tranquil, simple,
Enhancing air DID she but know it
She Is the reason I'm poet!-
