SOME MILTON NEWS.

Eagle: The new switch board for the
Milton Rural Telephone company, ar
rived this week and has been installed
in V. H. Chastain's drug store The
SYSTEM is now in good working order
and connects with all the principal
farm houses and important inland
points, such as Woodwards toll gate,
Fletchers and Olingers sawmills, the
Hudson Bay district, etc. This is the
result Of private enterprise started by
ELAN Hardware company a couple of
years ago. The business grew to such
proportions that it could not be han
died without a special operator at
central hence the removal of that
office from the company's store to it's
present location.
Mrs. Peck and young daughter Of
William Forsythe met with an acct
dent near the toll gate Monday as
they were returning home from an
outing. A naughty stump got in the
way an upset the vehicle. throwing
the occupants to the ground and
bruising them severely Upon inves-
tigatiOn they discovered that no bones
were broken and climbing back into
the buggy proceeded on their way
home.
William Wilder, while cutting wood
at Woodward's toll gate Wednesday
evening, had the misfortune to strike
his foot with the AK, splitting his big
toe its full length. He arrived in
Milton about 6 o'clock p. m. and had
the injury dressed by Dr.. Thomas, who
| took seven stitches to close the cut
The patient is doing as well as could
| be expected under the circumstances
A. Miller & Sons, proprietors of the
! Milton nurseries, are building an ad
| dition to their packing house 34X74
| Office and grating room 16x32, with
concrete basement of same dimen
sions. These improvements are made
necessary to provide accommodation

The Swedes are a quiet, taciturn

to them, a compliment th:-t Is returned

Valuable to Gardeners.

The planter" is device for the
assistance of the gardener. 1t looks
like pair of large curling tongs,
which when closed form a hollow
tube and taper to point. The plant
to be inserted into the ground is
placed in the tube portion, which is
then forced into the earth when the
implement is withdrawn. The opera.
ton of planting and transplanting is
rendered easy, and the contrivance is
carried as conveniently as a pair of
scissors.

kina's Visits to Ireland,

King Edward VII has paid in all
seven visits to Ireland. In 1S4S (when
he was made earl of Dublin) and again
in 1853 he accompanied the late queen
and the prince consort: in 1858 he
was attached to the Grenadier guards
at tho Curragh camp, while he visited
the island again in 1864, 1868, 1871
and 1885. His majesty made his first
speech in Ireland in 1858. on the pres.
entation of new colors to the Royal
Hibernian school, when he was not
yet IL years old.

Must Keep Their Premises.

Barnum would have hard sailing
down in Mexico. The Latin races do
not have the love for humbugs that is
characteristic of Anglo-Saxons., If the
American is "bilked" he enjoys seeing
his neighbor go against the same
game but that is not true of Mexican.
If man advertises an 4ttraction that
fails to produce it exactly as adver-
tised he gets into serious trouble in
Mexico. Theater-goers insist on hav-
ing all performances up to specifica-
tions and go out of their way to see
the managers punished who attempt to
defraud the public. The sphere of the
press agent is limited in that country
Many managers who are not familiar
with the customs and laws of Mexico
have found themselves behind the bars
because they posted paper picturing
acts which were not reproduced faith
fully.

Clarence Darrow's Sarcasm.

Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago law.
yer, addressed a meeting in Philadel-
phia the other evening on "Tolstoi the
Man." He expounded his views on
socialism in epigrammatic style, as
may be gathered from these SEN
tences: 1T is vulgar for rich man
to work. If he did WORK people would
think he wasn't rich. There are very.
very few rich men in Jail. Having
money, there are other places for them
to go. Most prisons have chapels so
convict can be Christian for an
hour once a week. I am reconciled to
death, because l am sure the rich will
not have their pick of things in the
other world"
Gilpin observer., 1903-02-05
Stopped the Criticism.

Senator Nelson of Minnesota is not
Spanish scholar, and when he was
discussing the statehood bill he made
sad havoc of some of the names he
used. Senator Elkins, who speaks
and writes Spanish readily, enjoyed
the Minnesota mans performance
greatly. Maria Virgin" said Nelson,
pronouncing the name according to
English rules. "Mahreeah Veehil."
whispered Elkins to his next door
neighbor. "Jicarillas' was given ordi-
nary pronunciation by the man from
the northwest, and Elkins said "Hica-
reeahs" SO that Nelson heard him. The
latter looked at the West Virginian for
a moment and then lunged ahead. But
the look was enough; there was no
more audible criticism.

STATUS OF RUSSIAN WOMEN.
Peculiar State of Affairs in the Empire

Peculiar State of Affairs in the Empire
of the Gar.
We think that Russian women are
far behind American and English wom-
en- in business and professional eman-
cipation. Yet in st. Petersburg you can
see one of the finest medical colleges
for women in the world, and quite as
many women doctors fourishing as in
London.
The pictures one gets of Russian
prison life from Tolstoi and George
Kennan are terrible and revolving. But
Russia has model prison at Arch.
angel, one of the finest in the world.
Again, from Tolstoi and from Gorky
one sees the peasants utterly without
liberty, without hope. But every vii
lsge has its mir" or village council,
where the advanced doctrines of local
option and women suffrage are carried
out, two things long fought for unsuc-
cessfully in England.

LAID It ON TOO THICK.
eereaved Husband Thought His Wife
Was Too Highly Praised.

The Maine papers are telling a story
OF a young minister who on his first
charge was called upon to preach a fu-
neral sermon over a woman. 1t was
his first funeral sermon and he laid
himself out to make an impression,
and succeeded. The woman had had
her faults, but the minister forgot
them. This was to be expected, but
he extolled her so highly that the poor
bereaved husband, sitting there list
ening, couldn't recognize her by the
description. Finally, in a glowing
peroration he pictured God and the
archangels and the angels and all the
hosts of the redeemed joyously form
ing parade to welcome to Heaven
this "one of the very best of all wom-
en-" The husband could stand it no
longer, and, leaping up, interrupted
him with beckoning hand, gasping
out: mo. no, elder; not quite that!

Twenty Years Elapsed Between Sup
posed and Real Death.

Rev. T. E. Phillips of Pennsylvania.
who is on visit here to his brother,
R. S. Phillips of this city, is the hero
of strange adventure. He preached
two funeral sermons, at an interval OF
twenty years, over the body of the
same man.
On the first occasion Mr. Phillips
had just finished his ramrks at the
graveside when the supposed corpse
knocked on the coffin lid and asked to
be released from his prison. Twenty
years later Mr.. Philips again stood by
the grave of the same man. This time
he preached second funeral sermon.
The corpse did not knock on the coffin
lid; the coffin remained unopened. The
man stayed dead.
A number of persons who heard the
first sermon also heard the last. 1t
was a remarkable coincidence.-Sterl-

years, Sinclair began to desire promo
