Had = Narrow Escane

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 17.-Ten sea,
men from the German bark Gesne had
a narrow escape from being crushed
to death. The ship was at the side
of tho wharf and lines were loosed
to throw out so that platform could
be erected for the crew to paint the
side. The men were busy when the
Norwegian steamer Falk, loaded with
mahogany logs and just arrived from
Belize, sought berth. The steamer
made sudden turn and struck the
bark. The latter vessel was crushed
against the wharf, and only the pres.
ence of mind of the painters saved
them from death. They dropped into
the water and swan under the dock.
For a short time it was thought they
had all been killed.

Where Nerves are Unknown.

The women Of Japan, in con-
trast to their Occidental sisters,
have long been noted for their
perfect poise and self-possession.
Their placidity under what would
ordinarily be considered trying
circumstances has surprised
American tourists. Patent
medicines guaranteed to cure
nervousness in it's many forms
have little sale in Japan. The
meaning Of the term nervous
prostration" is unknown. Jap
anese physicians are rarely rich.
An explanation OF this happy
state of affairs has been made by
a returned traveller. "To begin
with, says he, "there is never
any change in fashions, SO the
Japanese woman has no worries
at all on that score. Then, house
keeping is greatly simplified, SO
the Japanese housekeeper is hurt
| by none of the jars and frets that
nag the nerves and prematurcly
age her Wertern sister. The Jap
anese house has no draperies, no
dust traps in the shape OF
superAuous ornaments. People
all put Off their shoes on enter
ing the house, SO no mud and
dirt are brought in. Japanese
women have no art-burning
over euchre prizes and bridge
stakes. They never have to COM
pose club papers on subjects
concerning which they know
nothing. They never sit up
night planning how they may
outshine rivals in dress at some
social affair. They do otbother
their brains with schemes for
marrying their daughters torich
foreigners. They never have to
| give eight-course dinners with
ltwo-course pocketbooks. They
live simple, happy, peaceful do
nestle live, and live them long"
While we should be sorry to
gee American women restrict
their live to the narrow sphere OF
1.-THE japanese, there is no doubt
that three-fourths of their ner-
vous worry is caused by "trying
to do too much" Simplicity is
the keynote to sanity and health,
and American men as we'll as
women may profit by the ex-
iample of the happy Japanese.
IA Bench Warrant for Thurber.
The court Thursday issued a
bench warrant for the arrest of
Walter Thurber, who has a claim
near Davidson, Can. The COM
plant was brought against him
by Ed. w. Lewis, ofStanley, who
lclaims that Thurber stole from
him five COWS, three horses, a
wagon, harness and other things.
Lewis claims that Thurber gave
those things to his wife who lives
near Ross, and that she in turn
sold them to him. Thurber
iclaims that his wife had no right
to sell them and that is where
the trouble comes in at. The
case promises to bring out some
.racy testimony. Thurber was
caught with the property four
miles north Of Stanley Thursday
by Lewis but refused to give it
Iup. Lewis at once came to NlinOt
and got out the warrant for the
arrest of Thurber and hoped to
catch him before he reached the
canadian line. AS Thurber had
a number Of young stock, it is
thought his arrest will be easy.

Christmas Shopping Should

The merchants Of Sistersville
are known far and wide as being
progressive, wide-awake men who
keep in touch with the pulse of
the business interests and who
know when, what and how to
buy goods best suited to their
trade. A glance at the advertls-

veals the fact that every provls-
ion has been made to meet the de-
sires of each and every purchaser.
It will, therefore, be good policy
and good judgment for our gener-
GUS people to do their Christmas
