SlutTcu.
WHEN the leaves turn brown this
fall the well dressed man will appear
in brown. All X. Smith has pur
chased the largest line of fashiona
bic suitlngs ever brought here and
is now displaying them at his shop
on Walnut street. Call and inspect
them.
THE little band of street singers
who have entertained large numbers
of people on the street have left here
They are annual visitors and thel
visits are always enjoyed. The lit.
tie girl with them has developed into
a very pretty young woman and hel
voice is more attractive than it used
to be.
New sidewalks are being laid in
various sections of the town in order
to conform WITH the pavements, but
as yet there has been DO effort to dc
away with the lake on Wiley street
in front of Prof. Stewards residence,
The town should see that this place
is fixed. 1t has stood as "a monu-
ment to our backwoods style of do
ing business plenty long enough.
Jas. r Moreland has received an
invitation to attend the wedding OF
Elizabeth Wright daughter of Lieut..
General Young commander IN chief
OF the United States Army to Lieut.
John Robert Hannay which felicit-
Gus event will occur at st. Thomas

making many friends, and the con
gregation is daily congratulating
itself on having secured such prize.

and the members of his church like
him very we'll indeed.
THE Board of Regents has decided
that hereafter props will only be
required TO take work in the gym
nasium during the fall term. Here
tofore they have been compelled to
be members of the gymnasium
classes the whole year.
The residence and grounds of
George Price are rapidly being put
into such condition that he may
move in. The place is one of the
prettiest in town and it adds much
to the appearance OF that section of
Front street on which it was built.
FARMERS who have been anxious
to have new rural mail routes es-
tablished may feel better when they
know that Mr.. will Smith begin the
work of mapping out new districts.
The entire county is to be covered
with these before very long.
ALTHOUGH the Bell Telephone PEG
pie have put out new directory it
is too much to expect people to call
for numbers instead of names. They
have become too thoroughly ground
ed in the old practice.
THE training table at the Wallace
Is a new thing for University
Athletes but IL is proving to be good
thing for them. 1t is gradually be-
Ing brought down "a real training

| SEPTEMBER mas given US several
chills already but may be expected
to warm up before it finally leaves
the stage for October and it's cold.
GARDEN sass is on its last legs.

dent out OF business much earlier

summer and with the opening Of the
fall season with its increased travel
they will be harder put to than be-
fore.

Turkey and Bulgaria have not
started to scrapping yet. The only
thing that prevents the start is the
certainty that Turkey will win and
the further certainty that the So

supinely and allow it to be done
without protest or action.

How To Make A
 Bottle Cannon.

Would you like to initiate at the table the explosion of a cannon? Take thick empty bottle Ga champagne quart is besD and fill ! one-thlrd full of water. Get a seldtz powaer and in this water dissolve quantity ~. ot piearbonate of soda, which Is contained in th .he Itue blue packet place the contents of sne s, otner packet (he white one), tartaric ae'u' in playing card rolled up into a tube anu tied around with thread sealed at the uotiom With couple of pellets of plotting paper. suspend this cartridge from the cork or me bottle by suitable length of thread attached to tack, so that it will be about one Inch above the water, the open end of the cartridge being, of course, on ton or rather pointing upward. Now insert the cartridge into the bottle and place the cork in firmly, and you are ready for the ex- plosion.
 In order to explode your novel field piece lay the bottle horizontally on two pencils parallel upon the table, representing, as it were, the gun carriage. Presently the water penetrates the cartridge tube through tho plotting paper, dissoves the tartarlc acid and, the carbonlc gas thus suddenly set free. the cork flies out with loud pop, carrying the now empty cartridge with it like rocket, while through the recoil the bottle will roll back fully six or eight inches.

The Age Oracle.

A pleasant evenings amusement Tor youns folk may be obtained by the following simple combinations of figures. Tell your friends as follows: Write down the day of the month on which you were born, and on the right hand of this number write down the number of the month. Multiply the number thus formed by 2; add 3; multiply the result by 50; add your last birthday; then add 365. '
 When he has performed these operations let him hand you the paper, and you then slyly deduct 615, when the remaining figures will give you the day, month and age; thus. supposing he was born on November 5, and Is 15 years of age; then, following your in- structions he first puts down 511, the day (5), month Q1); multiply by 2, 1.022; add 5, 1,027 multiply by 50, 51,350; add age, 15, 51 ,8e5; add 365, 51. 730; then, taking the paper, you deduct 615. leaving 51,115 or 5-11-15, which reads as follows: 5th day of the 11th month, 15 years of age or November 5, 15 years ago

Cruelty to Animals.

The Noah's Ark animals lay on the rug, Where brightly the freight shone, And each was telling his tale of woe And bitterly making moan. Well, the baby has left us in peace for
 while,
 Said the tall giraffe with sigh; But this quiet time cannot last very long, He's sure to come back by and by. This morning he twisted my tail quite on, And as for my missing ears, have not seen them for many days And mourn their loss with tears .I'm worse off than you" the elephant said, As he made face at the ape, .'For an hour ago be extracted my tusks And smashed my trunk out of shape" "My case is worse than either of yours, Said the COW, with mournful pride, 'For the little monster licked me today I'll the paint came of of my side!' One after another the animals spoke, For ali had lost legs, tails or ears And the spaces between their narrowing
 tales
 They filled with their bitter tears. And they hope some person who reads this
 lay
 Will pity their dreadful fate, And send somebody to rescue them Before 1t becomes too late.
