Was Afraid of Rodents.

There was a very slender advance sale of seats in Chicago for the Patti performance, and the singer cancelled her engagement there. Of course this was not given as her reason for such action, but 1t is believed to have been the cause of it. A telegram from Chi cago speaking of the incident says: "She alleged as an excuse that the city streets are so cold, the theatres and hotels so poorly regulated in the matter of temperature and the breezes from the lake so fierce that she is in danger of catching cold and thereby endangering her voice.
 "In addition to this arraignmsnt, the divine diva intimates that Chicago hotels, yea even the best of them, are overrun with mice. She would not remain over night here this time, but travelled 200 miles to Indian epolis, where she could sleep in com fort with no fear of rodents gnawing at her voice. During her recent visit here Patti was much exasperated be- cause the decorations of her suite at the hotel did not match her com plexion or the whiskers of Baron Ced- arstrom, or some other equally hein- ous offense.
 "Inasmuch as this suite has been occupied by all the recent presidents of the United States and all the great men who have come this way, it was thought they might meet the require ments of Patti and the baron. h. stead, however, they slighted the city and its rodent infested hostelries and went to Indianapolis, where they had a suite of nineteen rooms.

 E. c. Payne read the report as clerk of the church.
 J. J. Fisher and w. T. Brown were elected trustees, Dr. J. NJ. Criley was re-eIec ed a deacon, R. H. Bur mister reelected treasurer and E. c. Payne was re- elected clerk.

An infant incubator will be an at traction on the Pike at the Worlds Fair.
 War ships from many of the powers will be anchored at St. Louis during the Worlds Fair. The majority of them will remain all winter and re- turn to the ocean in the spring of 1905.
 The Vermont building at the Worlds Fair is a reproduction of the old Constitutional House at Windsor, Vt. The structure was built in Yer mont and shipped to St. Louis in sec- tions.
 W. G. Williams of Holland, Mo, has hog. which he says is eleven months old, weighs 100 pounds, was born with two legs and is able, never theless, to travel at a good gait. He intends exhibiting it at the Worlds Fair.
 Two hundred acres of the Worlds Fair grounds have been reserved for picnic parties. This reservation is havily wooded and the ground is GOV cred with blue grass. This will be reinforced by a growth of rye grass which has been sown. The rye grass thrives under a dense shade and the picnickers may be assured of a green carpet on which to spread their din ners.
 A piece of Battenburg lace valued at 5000 and representing two years, work, will be exhibited in the Texas section at the Worlds Fair. The lace is five feet square and consists of a rich cream satin center piece, cream satin bands, and artistic fancy work in which are one thousand handsome rings. It is an original design by Miss Eva Church of Fort Worth, done by Miss Ruth Church of Corsicana.
 Virginia and Oklahoma have re- markable fowls that they are anxious to show at the Worlds Fair. Miss Esther Berry, of DoddsvIlle, Va, owns a fine Plymouth Rock rooster, weigh ing seven pounds. This rooster's claim to distinction lies in the fact that he has three legs, all equally de- veloped. Will Jenkins, of Gordon, Oklahoma, owns a Buff Cochin of the male persuasion that has been sim ilarly endowed.
 A sample of an elastic pavement will be exhibited at the Worlds Fair. It has for its fundamental principal the idea that if an impetus can be given by a spring to each and every step of the pedestrian walking will be made appreciably easier and doubly The main feature is a solid, continuous surface, supported by great number of springs. Within the spring coils is an elastic substance and surrounding them is a filling of granulating character.

There was a report on the streets yesterday evening that there had been some trouble at the United Verde smelter at Jerome, with the motor men, and that the latter had walked out. The trouble is said to have grown out of the accident to one of the mo- tormen few days ago in which the poor fellow went over the slag dump with a pot of molten slag and was burned to death.
 William Lane, of the Verde valley, left this morning for Arkansas for a visit to a sick sister. Yesterday even- ing after his arrival in Prescott he received telegram announcing the death of his sisters husband of pneu- monia. Death came very suddenly, as it was only a few days since that MT. Lane received letter from him. He spoke in the letter of not being well, but the announcement of his death came as a great surprise to him. MT. Lane will remain there for some time and on his return may bring his sister with him.

When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why.
 When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion.
 It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it.
 Scott's Emulsion is simply milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs.
 Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants.
 For all weak and pale and i thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat. ment.
