PRAISE FOR HEALEY
Milford, Nebraska, People Pay High
Tribute TO a Former Kenosha
County Soldier.
POSTMASTER FOR MANY YEARS

Tom Hea1ey, an old Kenosha boy,
is making a great record as postmaster
of Milford, Nebraska, and the people
of that city have decided that he has
life lease on the Office. He has re-
Gently been re-appointed to the office
by President Roosevelt, and seems to
have about as near mortgage on the
Office as could be secured in Nebraska.
The old soldiers of Kenosha have
every reason to remember Tom Hea1ey
as he was one of the best known of
the members of the First Wisconsin
Cavalry, and since he left Kenosha in
1869 the people of Kenosha have taken
an especial interest in his work.
The Milford Nebraskan in speaking
of the work Of the former Kenosha
man says:
"It is with a degree of considerable
satisfaction that we bring ourselves
to the point of commenting on the
Milford postofice. From the ofdi-
nary country postoffice established by
the Government years before the rail
road was built through this country,
it has risen to the Presidential grade
under the postofice department of the
United States government. 1t is not
unlike other country Offices estab-
1ished over the country, un1ess's.it be
in one particular, namely: In,sa1 it's
years of existence it has been under
the management and supervision of
the present Postmaster, Thomas A.
Hea1ey, a majority of the time. It
has been located at various .and sun
dry places in the town during this
time until now it is installed in the
corner room of the o1dgWyandt & EN-
erson brick block, where it has very
comfortable, though in our opinion,
somewhat crowded quarters.
Speaking of Mr.. Hea1ey's connec-
ton with the Office it might not be out
of place to give little history in re-
gard to that gentleman, insofar as
his official capacity is concerned. He
came to this country from Kenosha,
Wisconsin, in 1868, and permanently
located with his family in the spring
Of 1869. In 1871 he was appointed
Deputy County Clerk, and he received
the appointment of Postmastersof the
village from President Grant, and the
office remained under his supervision
until he was removed by President
Cleveland in 1885. He was reinstated
by the Mckinley administration in
August 1898, and since the office has
been raised to the Presidential grade
Mr.. Hea1ey has received his commits
sion from President Roosevelt author
izing him to continue as Postmaster
for another period of four years.
From the records we CLEAN the fact
that during Hea1ey's tenure Of office
he has handled $4,000, of govern
ment money. In our opinion this
shows a pretty good record and pretty
clean administration of the business
affairs of the office.

RENovATINo OLD SCREENS.
How They May BE Recovered and
Made More Attractive.

Made More Attractive.
A simple and inexpensive method of
renovating an old screen is to cover it
with heavy wall paper, either a plain
paper Of damask or sateen-like surface
or one showing a large floral pattern,
says the Pittsburg Press. The first
proceeding is to measure a fold Of the
screen with great accuracy and then
with very sharp scissors to cut the
paper to fit exactly inside the sur
rounding frame, which incloses the
cloth of the previous covering.
Have in readiness some thin glue,
and with this quickly brush over the
edges of your paper. An inch or two is
sufficient, If too much glue is applied
it will cause the paper to cookie APP
ply the strip deity to the screen, and
with a soft, clean-cloth press it firmly
into contact Proceed in like manner
with each fold, laying the screen fiat
upon large table for greater. ease in
working.
Sometimes the edges do not require
any kind Of finish, but when this
seems desirable a narrow border of
gold japanese leather paper or round
brass headed nails serves the purpose
admirably. It is quite easy to obtain a
richer effect by employing one of the
beautiful Japanese leather papers
which are now to be had in all sorts Of
different designs and at almost any
price. These are applied in exactly the
same manner.
A screen of plain paper may in sey-
eral different ways be rendered more
ornamental. One method is to mount
a good sized photograph in bromide or
platinotype on each flap near the top.
Or if desired more than one print may
be employed, these being arranged
symmetrically against a paper of suit
able tone. This plan appeals specially
to the photographer.
Another pretty way Of rendering a
plain screen more attractive is to hang
upon it any small miniatures, pictures,
bas-reliefs, bits Of silver, medals, coins
and so on. Not only does this serve
to turn the screen into a feature in il
self, but it is an ideal way of display
ing little objects dart Of this kind.

How to Wake China Cement.

Into a little bottle press as much ISM
glass as will fill it. Then pour in by
degrees some gin, which will gradually
sink in and fill up entirely the inter
stices left by the isinglass. Keep the
bottle in a warm place, but not near
the fire, until the isinglass is perfectly
dissolved, when the cement is ready to
use. Should it become stiff with keep
ing let the bottle stand in hot water a
little while before the cement is re
nuired.

Attention
FarnlerS.

Why remain in the North
and stay indoors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South. where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If You are stock raiser
you know your stock are now
''eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
fesh-forning and fat-forn1ing
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
materials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general
farming, fruit and berry grow
ing and truck gardening along
our road in the South than in
any other section of the Union.

HAREM WANTED SARDINES.
w"hen First Boxes of This De1icacS Reached Morocco Coupt There
 Was Great Excitement

If the sultan of Morocco, Muley Abd- el-Az;z, loses bis throne, it perhaps might be due to the discontent of his subjects In seeing him adopt so precip- itately European manners and habits The sultan disregards this danger, how ever, and when he wants thing Euros pean, he must have 1t at once, says the New York Tribune.
 One night there was 8 great noise in front of the residence of an Englishman inhabiting Morocco. Immediately the soldiers of the palace struck the door violently exclaiming: 'Daba! Daba! (quick! quicki). The master wants all the sardinss you have in your house!"
 The Englfshman was not a sardina merchant, but har@ed over what few boxes he had, and learned later that only . few hours before foreign min ister Had presented to the sultan few boxes of sardines, which were opened in the harem and partaken of by ali the inmates.
 Such 6 sudden frenzy was created for them that on the morrow special rak- kas was dispatched to Tangier, with or ders to bring all the sardinas in the place.

A NEW SUPERSTITION.
Traffic om a Busy New York Thor ou%hfare Almost Blocked Tempo-
 rarAIy by a Curious Occurrence.

Traffic on Broadway was almost blocked for a few moments the other afternoon by the actions of two wom- .en, who went through what was evil dently superstitious rite which no one but themselves could understand. The women were middle aged, the New York Herald states, and beyond reproach in appearance, and no one noticed them, as they crossed Herald square; but mid way Of the Thirty-f1fth and Thirty-siXth street block they paused, turned back and together retraced their footsteps for short distance, gazing steadily at the ground as though they had lost some thing. When they had gone few yards they stopped, and each woman put out her right foot and carefully touched one of the paving stones with the toe of her shoe. Then they turned again and re- sumed their walk in the most matter of fact way in the world. But the on- lockers did not take 1t so coolly.
 New Workers are curious people. and those who had noticed the women's &C., tion resolved to find out if there was anything peculiar about one of those paving stones. They stared eagerly to- ward that part of the pavement, and other persons, who had not seen the women, followed the crowd. But noth- ing unusual could be found in the pave ment. and St was decided that 1t must be new superstition, such as had not before been heard of, even in New York, which is as cosmopolitanins superstitiOns as itis i1lfaehi0ns.

A NEW JERSEY soLoMo:;,;.
Justice of the Peace Renders De- cision Not Unlike That of the
 Famous Bible Character.

Magistrate Jermon once spent a sum. mer in & little town in South Jersey and made the acquaintance of a justice of the peace who held more offices than Pooh Bah himself. He was" says Jermon according to the Philadelphia Press, "a notary public. storekeeper, superin. tendent of the Sunday school, 8 lay preacher, postmaster, coroner, a farmer and few more things that can't recall now. He was a shrewd old fellow, as a decision in 8 case that heard will go to show. Two farmers had. dispute about the ownership of some poultry, and each pleaded his own case. Each side had an equal number of witnesses and there was some tall swearing done all around. II I had been sitting on the case should have given 1t up as a bad job, or sent fl to court for trial. But that's just what he didn't do.
 'I forgot to state thatin addition to al his other functions he was his own con- stable The hens were in court in 6 coop and he ordered that the constable should take the coop to the roadway op- posite the farms of the fftigants and turn the creatures loose. And he did the job himself and got his fee for doing 1t.
