good; religious knowledge, good; histo

young man not to be despised.
In spite of many goods" however.
Ibsen was plowed owing to his defcien-

pired in those days to be a pharmaceu-
teal chemist and, failing to satisfy the
examiners. had to seek some other open

To The Publicl

On account of climatic conditions our Mr..
A. S. Mccoy is advised by his physicians that it
is imperative for him to remain in the arid re-
gions where he now is for at least two years.
Under these conditions he will not be in position
to give his business personal supervision and
deemed it advisable to sell his entire stock OF
merchandise at the place of business run tor
years under the firm name of Mccoy Bros Our
most sincere thanks is due our friends and the
public generally for their more than liberal pat
ronage which has made our business such de-
cided success and second to none,
We've just sold the business and good will
to Charles E. Schupbach, the we'll known and
successful groceryman, fact which gives the
public assurance that the same broad principles,
liberal treatment and strict business integrity
will be continued in the future as in the past.
Again thanking you as unit tor the many
favOrs shown us, we remain,
Sincerely yours,

Fallaeies About the Moon.

The moon Is the most powerful
agent in producing the tides on the
earth; it also produces some slight
variations in the carth's magnetism.
says St. Nicholas. SO far as science
has been able to investigate there is
absolutely no change in the weather
which can be attributed to the moon.
although half or more of mankind
seem to believe that the moon does
have some control over the weather.
All such beliefs. including the time
for planting gardens and for going
fishing. are mere superstitions-the
survivals of an age of ignorance.

Bismarck on Liquor DRINKING,

News that beer drinking is steadily
declining in Germany. the average an
nual consumption per head of the
population having fallen from about
225 quarts to little more than 1l0
quarts. would have grieved the iron
chancellor" No one did more than
he to extend and popular.ze beer
drinking throughout the fatherland by
precept and example. He had re-
markable views about water drinking.
In conversation recorded by Sidney
Whitman he lamcnted the disappear
ancc of Englend's "three-bottle men"
ana expressed his fear that the fash.
ion of drinking water was due not
to sudden zeal for sobriety, but to
a shrinkage in the daredevil qualities
