Natghbors VIII Drive Her From
the Neighborhood.
The stepladder which goes the
rounds Of a certain neighborhood in
AtehisOn at this season is a dilapidated
affair that needs more than an apology,
says the Globe. The owners apologies
have been accepted long enough. One
woman who used it yesterday found the
only way it would stand was upside
down, aud she climbed it that way,
the parts projecting against tho wall.
Since it started out this spring, women
have had 10 become contortionists to
maintain foothold and use their arms
at the same time. One woman had to
nse both her arms TO hold on, and was
compelled TO wash windows with her
feet. Another woman got no use out
OF the ladder until she had learned 10
balance herself ON her head on the
fourth round. II is found that il there
is a bucket of hot, sOapy water on top,
the ladder is sure to spread and dump
IL. One woman has filed suit for 5000
damages from the owner Of the ladder
for a fan she got from 1t yesterday
The owner has been notified that unless
she gets a new stepladder TO lend her
they will drive her from the
neighborhood.

1t will be a lasting disgrace on the
fair name of Decatur county if the prop
osition to build new court house is de-
feated. This county cannot afford to
leopardize the public records by keep
ing them anywhere but in fire proof
vaults, and this cannot be done in the
present court house. There is not room
in the vaults for one-half of the valuable
records and they are piling up each
year. Ii you had valuable papers would
you place them where they we're safe or
let them remain where they are liable
to be destroyed at any time?

Sometimes you see lovable old
woman, whose age is as beautiful as
was the bloom Of her youth, and you
wonder how it has happened. Well,
this is how: She learns how to forget
disagreeable things. She did not give
way to her nerves and inf1ict them on
her friends. She mastered the art of
saying pleasant things. She made
whatever work she had to do congenial.
She did not lose sight of her illusions
and would not think all the world wick
ed and unkind. She helped the miser-
able sympathized with the sorrow
full. She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost little and are treasures
to the discouraged. She did unto others
as she would be done by, and her re-
ward is love and consideration in her
old age, and she has learned the secret
Of long and happy life.
