A good many people say that a
river town cannot be prosperous
without saloons. The Press never
had q desire to argue the question
from a national standpoint, be-
cause it took such long array of
facts and figures to produce pre-
ponderance of evidence. So to
come near home, Forest City At
present has no saloons, while Get
tysburg has two. Those in Get

been what might be called orderly

he was delighted at being able to secure
these two treasures, but he was more
pleased when, on examining them, he
found that the margins contained several
notes written by Joachim Pecci during
his schoolboy days.
This assiduous schoolboy subsequently
became Pope Leo XIII. and Count Capo-
grossi- Guarna. feeling sure that the gift
would be appreciated, resolved TO make
him present of the two old books He
therefore gave them to a noted binder,
with instructions TO put new covers on
them but in such a manner that the or
iginal notes would not be married in the
slightest degree. and when the work was
done he sent the books to the Pope.
The latter was delighted when he re-
ceived them, and as a token of his graft

Order of st. Gregory on the thoughtful

two ends of the staff, the audience can
readily be made 10 believe that they are

If you want the matches to come to-
gether. all that is necessary is to dip
the sugar-tipped end of the wand in the
water about the center OF the star, for
the sugar will at once begin to draw the
water into it's pores. and naturally the
matches viii crowd together in the same
direction. On the other hand, IL you
want the matches to move away from
each other, all that is necessary is 70
dip the soap-tipped end of the wand in
the water. for the soap will at once be-
gin to melt and the water, thrust back
at the fat which has gathered on its
surface. will naturally break up the
starlike formation and drive the
matches in various directicns.
