Mayor Low, of New York, will go out
of Office in January much poorer
man than he went in. On taking the
Office he sold out whatever interests
he had, and they were large, in cor
porations likely to have business re-
lations with the city, and as this was
quickly done it was at considerable
sacrifice Mayor Low is also reported
as having spent 100000 Of his own
money to maintain the dignity Of the
office in the entertainment of distin-
guished guests Of the city, such as
Prince Henry of Prussia, and as his
salary as mayor is $4,000 and he held
the Office but two years, he Is con-
siderably out of pocket. Being a very
rich man, however, he can afford it.

Everybody knows the great value. Of
this remedy in the household, but
everybody does not know that the in;ta-
tions of it, which some second-class drug
Sists dishonoraby PAIN off on their Gus
TONERS, have little or no value. What
should be understood by the public is, that
1t is not a mere question OF comparative
value between "Vaseline" and the imlta-
tions, but that the limitations do not effect
The wonderful healing results of the world
renowned "Vase!ine," and that they are
not the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this, many of the limitations
are harmful irritant and not safe 20 use,
while Vaseline is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety, therefore, lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the CheSebrough Manufact'g Co.
Attention is called to their Capsicum Vase
line advertised in another column.

Odds and Ends.

The Countess Of Darnley is one OF
the few Australian peeresses. She met
her husband under most romantic cir
cumstances. The Hon. Ivo Bligh, as he
then was, took a cricket team to Aus
tralia in 1882, and when playing a
match In the Melbourne Club grounds
cut his hand. The attendant borrowed
lady's handkerchief to bind 1t up,
and Mr.. Bligh insisted upon thanking
this lady for her kindness. She Is the
present Countess Of Darnley.

Artificial Fruit Blossoms,

There Is an artistic use of artifi-
cial flowers and foliage in interior
decorations which those who love
the genuine growth are apt to dis
dain the bare mention of. Much Of
this feeling springs from a want of
knowledge where to put artificial
bloom or plants. Skillful as are
the French flower makers, none can
compare to the japanese in giving
the very duplicate of nature in fruit
tree bough and blossom. This we
have stood in rapture over when
first the twigs of cherry and plum
covered with buds and flowers sold
at 81 the branch. Now we may
have the best part of the whole tree,
its wondrous floral wreath attached
to the natural wood of the tree, for
$50 and $50. Smaller selections
for some handsome vase will cost
us $12 or So, as we may elect.

On Wednesday evening, the
last of 1902, a large company
numbering more than IS persons
from Cornelius Chapel, Saltillo
and Three Springs, gathered at
the M. E. parsonage in Three
Springs to spend the evening
with Rev. w. j. Sheaffer and
family.
1t was a surprise to the occu-
pants of the parsonage, and a
lars g donation of goods of great
variety and choice was added
The evening was spent with
singing, joyful conversation, aud
music by the Saltillo orchestra.
Supper was served to all present.
Addresses were made by Rev. w.
j. Sheaffer, d. E. McClain, Lew

All departed with the memory
of an evening well spent, and
with feeling of stronger desire
to make 1903 a year of kind deeds

Arms and Armor.

In the opinion Of many, arms and
armor are necessary to give the fin
ishing touch to the furnishing of a
cozy corner or oriental room, but
the cost Of these decorative ad-
juncts is not within the reach of all
who would have dens or cozy cor
ners. Manufacturers have come to
the rescue of the possessors of slim
purses by providing papier mache
arms and armor which are said to
answer admirably as substitutes for
the genuine articles. They may be
had in dull or bright finish and if
intended for wall decoration may be
easily adjusted All that is required
TO keep them clean is to dust them
with damp cloth. Some famous
suits of armor are reproduced in
papier mache.

She smiled and told me the secret.
Every time she saw a really artistic

and mounted the picture on heavy

box of water colors she herself
painted over the print, the varying
lights and shades being exquisitely
brought out merely through the
transparency of the colors. She in
formed me, too, that but little tech

number was desired for the decora-
