The first few days of fall are here. AL ready there is touch of coming frost in the air, altho the date of Jack Frost 8 formal debut is still several weeks re- moved. There Is a promise in the bracing days that are now coming on apace. They call young and old to renewed activities. The sluggishness of summer melts away like magic and on every side there is the pulsing eagerness of those who long to be at the desk, in the school room, out in the busy world where there is much to do. The ice king has few terrors for Dixie land but southerners, especially those who are fighting yellow fever, will be nothing loath to feel his cooling breath on their brows.

As an evidence of the mechanical age" which is now so often talked about, study the penmanship that reaches you from the center of the worlds activity. You will not have an opportunity of reading many lines written with a pen but now and then postscript or after thought is added with ink that startles you by the fact that it is so labored. Notice the caligraphy of the average newspaper correspondent who has been dictating or using a typewriter for years. It Is sometimes a scrawl that many sohoolboys would laugh at. Cramp- ed, strained and barely legible-that Is the penmanship of the average man of today who has learned to rely on type writers and stenographers.

 Pat Grove continues to defy capture with a sang froid that makes us pause. The force of his example Is enough to encourage other gentlemen with large desires who are on the verge of crook edness We are informed that MT. Grove gave a reception to a number of his friends in a suite of rooms at Council Bluffs, where all remarked on his pros porous air and apparent health. From all accounts the soiree was a most enjoy able affair and Mir. Grove entertained his guests right royalty. The authori- ties don't seem possessed with consum- ing desire to arrest MT. Grove.
 We are becoming severely practical. matter of fact and maybe irritable. Since the ban has been put on church bells there is no longer any doubt that busy world has more regard for its nerves and troubled rest in the morning when everybody should be abroad than it has for sentiment. Church bells are sweet to the ear, tolling a message of rest and peace, but when they begin to ring in the early morning "stay-up-lates' forthwith register howl of protest. They want to sleep.

goes out to the wife and son.
Poor In Early Life.
Mrs. Corey is said to have taken the
matter calmly, although it has sunk
deeply in her heart. She was one Of
the pretty but poor girls of Braddock
valley when Corey fell in love and
married her when he was IT, He
was then coal bumper in the mine
Of his uncle, B. B. Corey.
The young couple were poor wher
they were married, and it is known
that out of the little estate left to his
wife by her father Corey purchased
his first property. Fortune changed
for the better. until he had $1,500,00C
to invest in the steel corporation. He
later invested in western mining
stock, and his fortune now is esti
mated at more than $10,000O00. His
salary as president Of the United

men and men. DR.. Klnsey states that
they do not treat symptoms, but cure
permanently by rem owing the cause.
To each patient is given a written
guarantee to cure permanently or re,
fund the money, which certainly
proves that they have great confidence
in their ability to cure. They treat
only selected cases, refusing all that
are incurable.
To demonstrate what these master
specialists are able to do with this new
system of medicine a special offer Of
free examination and consultation anG

then roped together by long strands of
bark fiber into circular groups about
twenty feet across, all the cocoanuts
lying side by side. A single native
