Just across the township line east
Of Manchester, there lived some years
ago an old lady who was noted as an
expert at curing rheumatism, erysipe-
las and other diseases. The way she
cured rheumatism was to take piece
OF twine and measure from the end
Of finger Of patient to shoulder, tying
knots in the twine at every joint Of
finger, wrist and elbow. The string
was then hung up at certain place
till a cure was effected. She cured
erysipelas by passing her hand over
the patients face and conjurlng the
disease away. The cure was not al
ways intantant Gus, however.

About two decades ago, several car
loads OF unfortunate, hali-staryed
cattle we're bought in Iowa, in conse-
auence Of q severe drouth in that
state that year, and brought in the
dead Of winter to the farm now occu'
pied by W. N. Williams, Two miles
west Of Manchester. There was no
provision made for their shelter or
feeding. They were put in the corral
and were expected to live on what
straw could be got for them over the
country. The corral became a per-
feet glare OF Ice from snow and sleet
and freezing. Thermometers fre-
quently registered ten degrees below
zero, and sometimes as low as twenty
five degrees below, and those critters
had TO endure this torture. But death
came to the relief Of scores Of them,
which were dragged out and put in
piles like log heaps and burned.

Recollections Of EARLY Days.

About one mile north Of the Clay
county line lived a man who had a
novel way Of exterminating witches.
He owned an old gray mare that died
quite suddenly, which convinced him
that his place was invested with
spooks. He made a pyre Of corn
stalks and other litter and cut of the
old nag's head and burnt it on the
pile. When asked what he did 1t for,
he said it was to keep the witches
away.

ment. This fact Of morality and
culture has been discussed and proven
by all leading economists Of the
world. Culture must needs be and
is the dominant feature in Republican
politics. A man to attain prominence
must have 1t for three positive
reasons. First, socially, because he

Couture is pre.eminently the
foundation OF the Republican party
today. The crisis Of '9S demonstrates
that honesty Of men and money is a
controlling principle and Republicans
have advocated this measure. The
next campaign was made on that pol
icy, and the claims for honesty must
be maintained.
"The attainment OF this trait Is ab-
necessary in nearly all
walks and stations Of life. For In.
