Go home without the cares and
worries of the shop, the store or
office. Let the home not be turn
ed into a GROWER and the loved
ones there be made to suffer vi
carious punishment. They have
had their own troubles of the day,
and it is not right for you to pil .
yours on top of theirs. Let wives
and children learn to look for

bright smiles to drive away
their little annoyances of the
day. If you'll be half 50 kind

A Dangerous Habit.
Gladstone's Physician Gives Warming
Against Growing American
Custom.

The growing habit amongst Ameri-
cans OF taking mint tablet or some
other so called digestive after eating a
hearty meal, is something that Sir
Andrew Clarke, Mr.. Gladstone's ply
sician advises strongly against, saying.
1T is absolutely dangerous to take in
to the stomach remedies which are
popularity supposed co aid in the diges-
tion of food"
There is nothing known to the science
of medicine that can perform the work
OF. the human stomach. Drugs do not
and cannot digest the food. They
simply decompose it, What can be
more revolving or disgusting than the
thought of taking something into the
stomach that is going to turn the good
food you have eaten into mass of
corruption,

AN ALL DAY MEETING

In Los Angeles, CAL, the H. NJ.
Societies instead of meeting in
the afternoon as formerly, are
holding all day sessions. The
meeting opens at 10 o'clock with
devotional meeting, after which
there is short business session.
At II o'clock the ladies go W
stairs for the sewing and. social
hour. At the first meeting they
made eleven cook aprons and sold
them for two dollars. Then they
had lunch together, seated around
long table that accommodated
the members and visitors. From

HELP YOUR TOWN.

What really seems uppermost
in the minds of a majority of the
people is making money, and we
know that it is legitimate and right
to make money. There ls
nothing wrong in making money
on the other hand it is very
commendable in a man to accu-
mulate, if it is done by enterprise,
thrift and industry. One of the
surest and best ways of making
money is to build up your town .
When you build up your town you
add to the value of your own
property. and add to your own
wealth. Encourage - enterprises
that will bring people to live
among you. 1t viii increase your
business. Patronize the people
around you, the merchants, bank
ers, druggists, carriage dealers,
markets, blacksmiths, printers
and so on. 1t all in a nutshell IS
this-don't buy anything outside
vour own town and county that
YOU can buy here. Encourage
good citizens to come, and make
It to their interest to live here.
Keep your school up to a high
standard and do all in your power
to keep the morals of the county
GOOD, If a town Is moral, and
the tn people broad enough "to live
and let live, by patronizing home
people, it will attract others and

METAL PENS.
One of Ancient Roman Make Has the

One of Ancient Roman Make Has the
Distinctive Slit.
Some curious one has collected a
mass of interesting facts concerning
metallic pens. Some of these refer
ences run back as far as the four
teenth and even the thirteenth cen
tury, and. curiously enough, in the
case of the manuscript of Robert d'Ar-
tots, the forger scribe, is said to have
used hzOnze pen in order to disguise
his writing and make his deception
more safe. A Roman metal pen is
said to have been found at Aosta, not
a mere stylus, but a bronze pen slit,
and there is some evidence of a pen
or reed of bronze nearly as early as
the invention of printing in the fif-
teenth century. More than a hun
dred years ago some steel pens were
made in Birmingham for DR.. Priestly,
and some of these placed into the
hands of Sir Josiah Mason in his early
days with Mr.. Harrison, but all seem to
have been lost. The first pen of metal

is one in a Dutch patent book of 1717.
At about the same time a polite ode
Of POpe's refers to a "steel and golden
pen," but these were evidently lux
uries only, and it was not until about
the end of the first quarter of the last
century that metallic pens became
more generally in use. In the Local
Notes and Queries" in the Birming-
ham Weekly Post definite evidence
has been given of steel pens as early as
1906 and more commonly in 1917, but
it was about 1923 and 1924 that the
great revolution came by which pens
were made by cheaper process-the
hand screw press which pierced the
pens from steel rolled into tube fash
lon and the joint formed the slit, but
these required considerable labor to
shape them into pen form. The use
Of the screw press belongs to the pc
riOd OF John Mitchell, Joseph elliot
and Josiah Mason, but on a careful
review of the facts it seems to be
clear that John Mitchell has the best
claim to be considered as the original
introducer Of press made pens.-Buffa-

The peace ENJOYS of japan and Rus
sia began their deliberations yester-
day. Within the last few days both
sides have indulged in gloomy fore
bodings. Both have predicted GER
tain failure to agree. Nothing
authentic is known of the extent of
the demands to be preferred by Baron
Komura in behalf of the Mikado.
Nothing is known of the tenor of M.
Whites instructions from the Czar.
Only this is certain: Japan has beaten
Russia at every point since the wsr
began. By the precedents of nations
she is entitled to impose severe con-
ditions. No doubt reports of ire
concilable differences between the en-
voys will multiply as the conference
proceeds. Peacemaking is slow and
delicate work. The difficulties to be
surmouDted in the present instance are
vastly greater than those solved dur
ing peace negotiations in Paris in 1898
after the war of the United States with
Spain. No protocol has been signed.
Russia has not even suggested that an
armistice be declared. Since a peace
conference was agreed upon the

e Recently third survey of the his
toric Mason and Dixon's line between
Pennsylvania and Maryland has been
completed. The new survey was not
on account of any dispute as to the
boundary, but for the purpose of re-
storing to their places many of the
historic monuments along the line.
FIRST surveyed in 1867, which had been
removed. 1t is said that all were re-
covered and put in their proper places.
and that the original survey was found
to be substantially correct.
The first survey was made by Mason

England to determine the disputed
boundary. At the end of every fifth
mile stone was planted bearing on
one side the arms Of the Penn family
and on the other the arms of Lord
Baltimore. The intermediate miles
we're marked by smaller stones having

In plain and sensible editorial, one
of our exchanges takes up for though
full consideration: "Music in the

full space to the following:

children learn to sing before they leal
to falkland all children should be
taught to sing soon as they learn to
talk. The fact that o child has no
natural ear for music is no reason why
he should not be taught singing. On
the contrary. it is the child who does
not learn to sing without being taught,
who needs the teaching most. Child
rem who are seemingly tone-deaf are
often only self-conscious. And a
ohild's avowed dislike for music-or a
disinclination to try to sing-is usually
caused by self-consciousness and a
fear of ridicule. People who do not
learn tc sing when they are children,
often regret the lack of such early
training very, very deeply. To have
had all the good old songs thoroughly
ground into ones brain, when the
brain was receiving it's first impress

it is seldom that there is a begging for
Just one more game-as there is apt to

do not try to learn new ones until the
old ones are thoroughly mastered. Let
some of the songs be rollicking, and
some of them serious. The old war

new songs despised because of their

day--so as not to tire others by toe

song will give pleasure to the listener.
