Edgewood Lady Suicides.

Mrs. Z. II. Hill left her home here
in town shortly after dinner last Fri
day, while her husband was asleep
in the house, and going to a seclud-
ed spot in pasture west of the Con-
gregational church, committed sui
eide by taking poison. Failing to
return at the usual time that even
ing, her husband started out in
search for her among the neighbors.
Not finding her, he secured the SER
vices of other men. who, with Ian
terms searched through the Kirk &
Hatch lumber yard where she was
last seen, and, not finding her there,
they went to a blackberry patch in a
pasture formerly owned by her west
Of the Congregational church, where
in rank growth of bla C k b erry

place where she had cunningly hid

deed.

On the 18th of May, 1850. Denver
turned out to welcome the first through
coach OF what was destined to grow
into the Overland Mail" an enterprise
which for sheer American pluck and
daring must be forever linked with the
fame of the Pony Express" Red
shirts drifted to the outskirts of the
hamlet and dotted the hills around.
Hard faced bartenders made ready for
the hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose" The artillery Of holster
and saddle boot was unlimbered for an
ecstatic fuslllade There was lively
betting in dust and nuggets that the
first through stage had been gathered
In by Indians, with takers rs eager to
stake their faith that the scalps of
driver and guard would come through
intact. At length swirl Of dust show
ed far down the trail. 1t grew into Il
yellow cloud that c-ept toward the
eager hamlet Then six mules. stretch
ed out on the gallop. emerged from
this curtain, and behind them was the
numbering, swaying stage, come safely
through on time, and Denver was in
touch with the world where men wore
white shirts and lived in real houses.
The cheers that roared n welcome to
this heroic enterprise were echoed II

longed for a link of Its own with the
home country, ''way back east."-Out-

Origin of "1Le L.nnnt.

Nowadays "the Levant" means solely
the eastern Mediterranean region. But
1t really signifies the east in a general
sense-the region of the rising sun, In
fact-bcing derived from the French
lever" to rise. By the high Leyant'
Bacon meant the far east. In the
eighteenth century Chambers Encyclo-
pedia explained that "Levant' applied
to any country to the eastward of one,
and in this sense Evelyn wrote of
more Levantinc parts than Italy"
"Levant,' indeed, was interchangeable
with orient" just as ''ponent" was
with "occident. So we find NIXON
writing of "Levant' and "Poneut''
minds.-London Clrarcelc.

Tho Polite Burrnnn.

In the cities of Burma. where the
natives have been long in contact with
Europeans, says the author of "Bur-
ma, Painted and Described" they have
lost some Of their traditional polite
nessv but In the country districts old
school courtesy Is still the custom. An
English gentleman who had bought a
new pony was trying him out on q
Burman road when the animal bolted
and ran at top speed down a narrow
road. In the way ahead was native
cart, In which was family party out
holiday making. The pony dashed into
the back of the cart, threw his rider
into the midst of the merrymakers and
severely injured the Burman who was
driving. Before the Englishman had
an opportunity to explain his unexpect-
ed onslaught the Burinan picked him.

The Mail Order House Catalogue,

The Howell County Gazette, of
West Plains, Mo-, sums up some of
the best arguments against the mail
order business as follows:
"When your catalogue comes from
the mail order house, wait until you
get home before removing the wrap
per, then wait until after supper,
when the chores are done, draw an
easy chair to the table where the
light will shine on the pages, put on
your glasses, that no bargain may
escape your eye, and settle down for
an hour of quiet enjoyment.
What a wonderful book it is, to
be wonderful for what it does
not contain, as we'll as for what it
does. We miss some things we
would be glad to see. Where is their
offer to pay cash or exchange goods
for your wheat, oats, corn, sheep and
h g free on board?' How much
tax will they pay for improving
roads and bridges, for the support
of the poor, the expenses of the town,
country or state? On what page is
their offer to contribute money or
services in the establishment and
maintenance of a church or Sunday
school for the moral tone of your
community? What line of credit
will they extend to you when your
credit is poor, your money gone,
when through illness or misfortune
you are not able to send cash order
for your groceries, clothing, farm
tools and crockery? Where is their
offer to contribute to your entertain
ment next 4th of July.
In what department do they ex-
plain to you the increasing value Of
your farm as a result Of trading with
them?
IF you find the quiries satisfac-
torily answered. bring the answers
in and most merchants will go to
farming and let the town go to grass.
Under such conditions no towns
are needed further than to furnish a
railroad station, an express office and
a case for rural mail carriers all of
which may be covered by one roof."

Even If 1t were possible for man to
live without breathing air he could not
exist on the earth If 1t were without an
atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the
most important element of their food,
from the air, and without plants there
could be no food for animals and there
fore no human beings. Water also
comes from the atmosphere, but If
there were no water there could be
neither plants nor animals. If food and
water could be supplied in some other
