"A private letter from S. Willis Brace,
a former well known citizen of this place,
but for some years past residing at Port
Wing Wis, states hat he and his two
sons, Harry and Fred, have taken up
timber claims near Union, Oregon, and
that he and his family will move to that
place this month, where they will
"prove-up" and take possession of their
property. Willis and his boys have many
friends in this community who will wish
them abundance of prosperity in their
far western home, where there are great
possibilities in store for those who care TO
take them up.
When do the "dog days. commence?
We always thought they were an August
affair, but that pestiferous being, the
weather expert, says they began OF July
18th. How long do they run? There
seems to be no means of ascertaining
their limit or of shutting them off. They
say these dog days are baleful and un-
healthy, making us all doubly liable to
attacks from disease, blues, bile, etc.
Well, really, judging from the cool nights
and the general comfort, we'll bet a litter
of pups that there's a lie out somewhere
in regard to these deadly dog-days.-
Franklin Spectator.
The editor of one of our exchanges
trrthfully says that 'you might as well
get your horses used to automobiles, for
they have come to stay. If you should
happen to meet one in the road while
driving, just motion for them to stop if
your horse is frightened, and if the driver
of the machine does not comply with
your wish give him fifteen minutes to
say his prayers. 1t is safe to assume that
inside of ten years a large proportion of
~conveyances that travel the public high
ways will be automobiles" All of which
may be true and yet that's what we all
thought about bicycles ten years ago.
An Associated Press dispatch says:
"A check Tor 500 has been received from
President Roosevelt for Theodore Roose-
welt Signet, the boy born to Mr.. and
Mrs. William II. Slgnet, of McKeesport,
some weeks ago, and is the Goth child
born to Mr.. Signet. The money has been
placed in a bank to the credit of the baby,
the interest to accumulate until he is q
years old" This does not necessarily
mean hat Mr.. Roosevelt will send a 500
check to every new namesake, but where
it happens to be the twentieth one in the
family we presume he'd feel like he
ought TO in order to sustain his well
known ideas on the trace sui tide" ques-

That's all right boys, have your fun now,

this club but for shooting the shoot they
would prefer to loop the loop.-Marien-

No observant person can have failed
to notice the grevious laxity in the ordi-
nary American home in the training OF
girls, even where the parents are sound
hearted and respectable. Young girls in
Philadelphia or in almost any city, may
be seen parsding the streets free from all
guidance and supervision in a way which
forebodes evil results, at the very least in
bad manners. Many of these girls have
no thought of evil but the flippant man.
ner, the lack of reserve where strangers
are concerned, the reckless behavior, and
the habit of gadding about at their own
free will on city streets and in public
places, lead inevitably to a hardening oil
character and a hopeless vulgarization
Many a tragedy, too, has its beginning in
this way. Parents who have toiled and
moiled for their children, and who would
give, in fact, literally have given their
own lives for them, fail and their fail
ure is directly traceable to the lack of re-
straint upon the too great freedom OF
young girls.-Philadelphia Ledger.
-Everybody-that is everybody who
assumes that life is worth living-takes a
bath at night, but a good many people
feel too many duties pressing consistently
upon them to stop for a bath when they
rise in the mornings, says the New York
Tribune. And yet the moment when
she lifts her head from the pillow is the
worst ofthe day to many a woman, es-
p~ecially in the hot weather. She feels
languid and 'headachy," lethargic and
