Mrs. Mary Borton.

Mrs. Mary Cooper Borton was born
Feb. 10, 1888 in Shay, Westmoreland
county, England. Her father with
his family consisting of wife and seven
children came to America in 1854 set
ting on a farm in Atwater township,
Portage county Ohio.
There on Oct. %, 1858 she was
married to DIR. Amos o. Borton of the
same vicinity, and together they
come to Plymouth, Ind, where they
established a home and attracted to
themselves a wide circle of friends.
Four children were born to them.

A. o. Borton died in 1876 since which

They were led to hope her failing
health would mend in another climate
and Nov. II, she went to California.

RAT RENTS.

There are sections in Minnesota and
northwestern Iowa of naturally
marshy prairie lands which are the
home of the muskrat, which during
wet seasons multiply in enormous
quantities. These rodents select the
swamps to live in, constructing their
haycock winter homes by the thou
sand. The pursuit of these rats dur
ing the winter season gives employ
ment to many men and boys, the fur
being valuable and worth about 12
cents apiece. The business has be-
come so systemized that rat marsh
is worth to the owner more per acre
in rent than If it were the finest and
most productive corn land, the usual
rental being SIS per acre. Aside from
man the chief enemy of the muskrat is
the mink, which in dry seasons slaugh-
ters them by the thousand. In wet
seasons, however, the rat has chance
for his life when pursued by the mink
by taking to the water The homely
rat skin is so manipulated by expert
furriers that it later reappears under
other names as costly fur for the use
of the fashionable society dame.

Return of the Hoop Skirt.

Leaders Of fashion delving into the
musty past have dug up the hoop skirts
and are delighted with the find. In
their naughty and arbitrary way they
have decreed that lovely woman shall
don the bird cage, as of yore, and go
sailing down the street demanding two
thirds Of the sidewalk for her PRONE
made.
We shall see whether the new and
improved woman, with all of the mod
ern attachments, will submit as grace
fully as did her sister of thirty years
ago, or whether she will rise up and tell
the fashion leaders that it Is too late in
the history of the world for man to put
barb wire fence around her.
Meanwhile the eypectant goat will
stand around In the back lot and await
the decision, for it Is a long time since
he has had anything as delectable as
the hoop skirt lunch, and the humble
humorist will dig into the files and
resurrect the stock joke of the last gen.
Grafton and make it do one more stunt.

LIGHTNING RODS.

We are asked by several of the read
ers of these notes to say something
about the real value of lightning rods
as a protective agency for buildings.
Electricity, while a very erratic and
subtle force in nature. is year by year
becoming better understood so much
so that Mt the present time very re-
liable code of laws has been fornu-
lated for its management and use.
One fact is that when generated and
seeking liberation it will always seek
the path of least resistance; thus II
follows logically that IL safe AID
suitable conductor for current of
high voltage such as Is common to all
our summer storms Is provided the
operation Of the natural law will cause
such current to seek such conductor
without harm to the building upon
which 1t is placed. Now in the selec-
ton of such conductor there are
some things which must be observed
carefully. There must be a perfect
damp earth connection; second, the
capacity of such conductor will depend
upon the material Of which it is con-
structed, copper being the best ma
terial, and the superficial area afford
ed by it, the conducting power to the
rod being mostly confined to its sur
face, suggesting that rod composed
of large number of fine wires would
prove far better conductor than one
of solid construction. Where build
ing Is equipped with such a rod hav-
ing perfect earth connections we
should say that it was reasonably
reliable and desirable protection from
lightning.

ONE THING NEW.
By DUNCAN M. SMITH

Say. is It true there's nothing new
Or strange or startling under
The big round sun? Is there not one
Thing we may call n wonder,
Or may we not from some dark spot
A brand new secret plunder?
If there Is not single hot,
Original creation
AS rare as bliss at large in this
Or any other nation.
Yet here and there at times we scare
Up quite an imitation.
Back In the vast and moldy past
They may have had the tinkle
And silvery tones of telephones
And the electric twinkle,
The phonograph to make them laugh
And every other wrinkle.
How should know 1t Is not SO
That people got knocked double
While walking out to look about
And hunting not for trouble,
Stood on their head by some great red,
Fierce automobobubble?
Ah, well, perhaps those ancient chaps
May not have been so simple,
And every lad may not have had
A head quite like a pimple,
But can swear that nothing e'er
Could match my lady's dimple.

Ohio's Popular Resort
Will Open This Year in
Greater Splendor
Than Ever.

The numerous friends of Obio's
famous summer resort in this Sec
tlon will be glad to learn that the
regular season at Cedar Point will
open June 10. Incidental to this
announcement comes the informa-
tlon that the improvements made
since last year are the most ex-
tensive and permanent in the his
tory of this popular watering
place, renowned as it has always
been fer doing things on a stupen-
dous scale of magnifcence.
Among the many new delights
in store for pleasure seekers will
be found "The Breakers" the
largest and most modern hotel
on the Great Lakes, containing
GAO rooms. Three miles of scenic
lagoons have been created at an
immense cost. These waterways
wind in and out among the most
gorgeous scenic portions of the
Point and those who are timid
about venturing on the open lake
or bay in small boats can here en-
Joy the sport of rowing to their
hearts content and in perfect safe
ty. The lagoons at night will be
Illuminated with hundreds of cleo
trio lights. Five hundred rooms
have been added to the immense
bathing pavilion, making 1000
rooms in all and the largest build
ing of its kind in the world. The
board walk section has been ex-
tended nearly mile and thous-
ands of choice horticultural speci-
mems have been planted in artistic
designs. In order to handle the
immense traffic two fine passenger
boats have been added to the
Cedar Point navigation company's
fleet. The amusement section has
been augmented with the latest
features and the innumerable old
delights remain, making Cedar
n-.
Point the best of the big summer
resorts. A handsome illustrated
booklet has just been issued de-
scriptive Of the place, which will
be sent free on request by address

Manager, Sandusky, o.
