Her guns, which had done hard and

Virginia Mans Device Makes the Day
One of Pleasure.
H. G. Hitner has been exercising his
inventive genius, and the result of
his efforts is that the weekly family
wash day, instead of being a burden,
as it is to most people, is the day
wherein man is permitted to labor.
He is the owner of a rotary washing
machine which he geared to his BIZ
cycle after the latter had teen sus-
pended in a frame. After the cloth
ing has been placed in the machine,
with the usual supply of water and
soap, Harry lights cigar, mounts his
bicycle and wheels away. By the
time he has pedaled enough to take
him to New Market if the wheels
were on the ground, the clothing has
been washed, he has had an enjoyable
ride, and he and his good wife are
correspondingly happy. This is only
one of the many new things that have
been inaugurated in Edinburg during
the last few months, and it Helps to
prove what every one says about us
viz: 'The old town is surely on a
BOOM"
P. S.-Since last week the weather
has gotten too hot for Harry to pedal.

Hutcheson's motorcycle to the ma

Papaso Version of Football.

The boys of the Papago tribe in thu
southwest have a game which thu
fellows in Harvard and Yale would
form rules about, if the played it, un-
til it became very lively indeed.
These Indian boys make dumbeIls
of woven buckskin or rawhide. They
weave them tight and stiff, and then
soak them in sort of red mud which
sticks like paint. They dry them, and
then the queer toys are ready for use
To play the game, they mark of
goals, one for each band or "side" of
players The object of each side is to
send its dumbbeIls over the goal of
the enemy.
The dumbbells are tossed with sticks
that are thrust under them as they lie

will not go straight or far, and a rod
is a pretty good throw for one

A bronze gun sent up by divers was
purchased by the British government
for 81 800. 1t is said that one day a
diver brought up a brass box, all
green and moldy, which contain
ed pearls and jewelry- of great
value, that it was laid on the deck of
the treasure hunting vessel and mys-
teriously disappeared.
Many pieces of silver table service
were found, the ships bell, scattered
coins, platters, bits of pottery, ETC.,
but the money boxes with the mil
lions still remain to entice others to
blast and dig.
Mr. Harrington thinks the money
chests have been worn away by
water action, and that the treasure
is buried beneath tons of sand and
mud.

long under the water because of the
