Puss In the Corner. by Edith Francis
Foster, is another of the successful Rebus
books, where the place Of occasional
words in the text is supplied by little pic
lures. When the child comes to the tiny
illustration he fills in the word needed,
and thus learns to fit names and objects
together. This little volume, like the
others in the Rebus series, possesses the
attractions Of a story, game, picture book
and puzzle, all In one.

SUDDEN RAIN

They flash upon the window-pane
From skies grown swiftly dark Z
The wild, keen lashes of the rain;
They make my heart their mark! ~
Even so can tears-tears not my own,
The very daylight blind;
Across my heart the griefs are blown
OF all my human kind! !.

Swift as weaver's shuttle
Day hastens on to day
Always the fabric changes,
Always the colors play;
Now with a gloomy shadow,
Now with a glow sublime
So go the deathless records
Into the loom Of time.

NOTICE TO
 FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.

After December 1, 1904, the Independent will be sent outside of Jackson county only on sub scriptions paid in advance, and will begstopped upon the expira- tion of the time for which they are paid.
 Subscribers will be notified two weeks prior to the expiration of their subscription, and prompt renewals will cause no skips in receiving thesspaper.
 Our outside mailing list has reached those proportions which make this step necessary to pro- tect ourselves, and we feel that the change will not be objection able, but rather. in accordance with the wishes of our outside TeducTS,
 The Independents has only one subscription price, $l.0O.a year for the Weekly, and 40 cents per month for the Daily, but the postal charge for papers to out side addresses, warrants us in requiring these subscriptions to be paid in advance.
 This does not apply to any postofice in Jackson county, or such towns as Bradford, Alicia, Minturn, Newark, in closely con- tiguous territory.

INDEPENDENTS
 BABY CONTEST,

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25. solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- ful, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES. First-No baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. 1, 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.
 Second Every issue of the Daily and Weekly Independent from November 1 to December "A, will contain ballot entitling the holder to one vote in this contest. For every dollars worth of job, work, advertising and subscription paid for between these dates a coupon good for ten votes will be issued, but no cou- pons will be issued for sums less than $1.00. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the h. dependent at 2 cents per copy, each containing one ballot, will be sold at this office.
 i Third-All votes must be sent to this office and will be de- posted in a lock box, to be opened at 8 o'clock each publication day and counted. The daily issue of that afternoon will contain the total of the several candidates and the public will thus be kept informed of the voting each day. Fourth committee of three good business men will be select ed to canvass the ballots the morning of Dec. "A and announce the winner. All ballots must be deposited at this office by II a. m., Dec. "A, 1904.
 Read the rules carefully.

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure from Unexpected Sources-A
 Clothes-Reel Comedy.

The Italian immigrant has . happy gift of extracting pleasure from unexpected sources, so many commonplace objects of his new home are yet wonders to him. A woman who lives in a pretty su. burban residence, the long garden of which runs back to a small court upon which row of tene- ment houses has just been erect ed, discovered this recently when she found group of dark-eyed, dirty little boys dancing ecstat. ically on the platform of her clothes dryer.
 They were cheering on daring comrade, who was clinging to the outer cross-bar of the reel, relates the Youths Companion. One of his mates had set it spinning, and the other boy was dizzily gyrat. ing aloft, mingling his excited squeals of joy with the creaks and groans of the overburdened ma- chine. Even as she looked there was an Ominous snap, and the fly. ing cherub came suddenly to earth nt her feet, where he sat softly rubbing himself and staring up at her, too dazed to cry. For the sake of their own youthful bones she thought it a case for severity, and hegan to scold the intruders as sternly as she knew how, conc]ud. ing father helplessly with an nm. patient, Whatever made you do such d silly thing, anyhow? An. swer me, can't your"
 "Bullafuna, signorina!" whim. rered the fallen one. And it was not until the remark was trans. lated by an Irish youngster, who was peeping through the fence, hat she learned what the Italian f;,d meant.
 Sure, he says it's bully fun," the Irish boy interpreted.
 Arguments and remonstrances quite failed to overcome the dan. gerous fascination of such a de. Aghtful gymnastic apparatus. Tho woman had finally to take it down and resort to the ancient and in. convenient clothes-line instead.
 A far funnier case of perverted entertainment occurred lately in 3 Connecticut town in which the drawbridge tender complained to tie poEee that the Italian resi-. danfs had fallen into the habit of f'"1n Ing on the draw as if it were a E, arry go round.
 "Sometimes there's as many as 5CO of them," he complained; ESQ many that the draw won't work properly, and it most kills me try. in; to turn the crank.

Double Punishment.

A native traveller in Japan
bought two swapping turtles, and,
being afraid that he would be
charged heavily for their transpor-
tation as live animals on the train,
he placed them in a small portable
trunk which he carried. The Japan
Weekly Mail tells OF sn adventure
that befell the man and his turtles.
When he got on the train he held
the trunk SO carefully under his
arm that a thief who was in the
crowd was sure the man had some
thing valuable in the box. So he
got into the same car and took an
adjoining seat. Taking the first OPP
portunity, he cut a small hole in
the trunk with a sharp knife and
slipped in his hand.
About this time the turtles con-
cluded that there was Something
doing" and they took hold Of his
fingers in a hearty way. Gritting his
teeth, the thief tried to withdraw
his hand, but he could not. Then
he howled, and the owner Of the
trunk seized him and turned him
over to the train people, who at the
next station gave him to police
man.
The incident, however, was not
closed until the traveller was pun
ished for violation of the railway
regulations.
