AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The Grandfather of All Mosquitoes
and His Giant Descendants,


and His Giant Descendants.
There are pretty big mosquitoes in
the world, but If report be true they
have greatly degencrated in size and
strength since the days when this leg
end was believed by many tribes of
Indians.
The grandfather of all mosquitoes
lived in the neighborhood of Onondaga,
N. Y. When he grew hungry he would
sally forth and eat an Indian or two
and pick his teeth with their ribs. The
Indians had no arms that would pre-
vail against this monster, so they call
ed upon the holder of heavens to come
down. Finding that he had met his
match in this person, the mosquito flew
away. He flew around the great lake,
turned eastward, sought help from the
witches that inhabited the Green lake
and had reached Lake Onondaga when
his pursuer came up and killed him.
AS his blood poured forth on the
sand each drop became n smaller mos
quito They gathered about the hold
er of the heavens and stung him SO
cruelty that he half repented the serv-
Ice he had rendered to the Indians.
The Tuscaroras say that two of the
mosquitoes stood on opposite sides of
the Seneca river and slew all who
passed Hiawatha killed them. A res
ervation stone marks the place where
the holder rested during his chase, and
tracks We're until lately seen south of
Syracuse alternated with the footprints
of the mosquito. These footprints were
shaped like those of bird and were
twenty inches long. These marks were
revered by the Indians for many years.

Stationery for Farmers.

Farmers and Others, particularly those

1t was pretty tiresome being Gagged up

Erred, send for your WIFE" said Mr..
Layton abruptly.
When Mrs. Fred appeared the old
gentleman continued: You're pretty
pair of independents. aren't you? I
like your spirit and want you to stop
this business and live with me. VIII
you do it?"
"Just as soon as the season closes we
will, father" they replied, "and until

MYSTIFIED
MR.. LAYTON

With an impatient gesture Mr. Sam
uel Layton laid down his evening pa-
per. Hang 1t all, Fred and his wife
are going away again! This is the
third annual disappearance they have
made, leaving town in the spring and
not returning until fall. Where in Gre
alton do they go? Fred must make
money somehow; he never asks me for
u cent and lives like a nabob during
the winter. It's too much for me-"
Mr.. Layton frowned heavily as he
concluded his soliloquy. His keen mind
and indomitable will had enabled him
to solve the difficult problems Of life
and had raised him from the plane Of
poverty to that of great wealth. Not
withstanding his shrewdness, however,
he had not been able to fathom the Sc
cret of his sons ways and means.
Fred Layton had finished his college
course and gained renown on the grid
iron and in other athletic sports, but he
had failed utterly in his studies and
had announced his intention of marry
ing Miss Edna Morris, pretty girl,
but decidedly poor.
But Mr.. Layton had planned that his
son should wed the daughter of his
partner, Miss Matte Walton, and thus
succeed to great wealth and the entire
control of an established business.
This difference of opinion between ia
ther and son led to a stormy inter-
view, during which Mr.. Layton de-
clared that IL Fred married Miss Nor
ris the parental purse would be closed
against him forever. With shrug Of
his broad shoulders, the young man
had intimated that he could take care
of himself and did not propose to ask
his father for financial aid.
A month later the young people We're
quietly married. They established them
selves in n cozy little fiat in fash
ionable neighborhood. They lived well,
dressed well. entertained their friends
and to all appearances were prosper
GUS.
Mr.. Layton naturally thought this
condition of affairs could not last, and
he smiled grimly as he thought Of the
conditions he would make when his
son came to him for aid. AS the

months passed by without such an ap-
peal the old gentleman grew more and
more mystified.
He made many inquiries as to his
sons source of revenue, but only dis
covered that when Fred and his wife
returned from their summer outing
they brought back snug sum in cash
with them. Mr.. Layton scanned the
papers diligently to find out where they
went, he inquired at the postofice for
their summer address and even tele-
phoned to the owner of the fiat, but no
knowledge could be enined. Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Layton disappeared as COM
pletely for time as If the earth had
swallowed them.
The father grew restless and nery-
GUS, his digestion became impaired and
he went from place to place upon the
plea of regaining his health, but in
reality in the hope of solving the mys-
terry about his son. All in vain.
II can't stand this any longer, doc
tor" declared Mr.. Layton one day
when his physician called. II must
find out where Fred goes and what he
does. l suppose it is mere curiosity,
but l must fathom the boys secret.
I've been used to solving problems and
can't endure failure"

When a new cathedral or new col

other things being equal, the best man

though, realize what it costs an archi-

CANDIDATES. CARDS
THIS is
NEIGHBORLY :?

- HERE are more ways of doing
~ your neighbor a good turn than
throwing your rubbish in his back
yard. IF you have any patronage that
might give him little profit, give it
to some one you don't know so well
or be sure to not favor him when the
opportunity presents itself. If you
do little job for your merchant, ask
him for the money at its completion,
and then 90 to merchant dealing in
similar goods, and spend your money.
Iron men, gas men, stove men, dry
goods men, merchants and dealers of
all kinds, the way for uou to support
your best friend the newspaper, is to
turn all your work to jobbers and
dealers outside of your home town or
to givo it to some little concern that
can do you no good and whom you
are also helping to get rich by paying
starvation wages.
Do you ever think of your unselfish
actions, and sneak into some secluded
place to kick yourself because you
didn't do these things? We guess
not. You glory in your manliness.
So, keep up.

CANDIDATE are slow to come
forth in Moutour County. We notice
in our various exchanges that an
nouncements for full tickets are APP
pearing in the surrounding counties.
Why this hesitancy is manifested by
our politicians we cannot say, but are
sure the various offices will not go
seeking the man, for a number for
each Office are having their names
circulated. The way politics look
now we can promise a pretty interest
ing campaign this summer and fall.
1t is quite likely there will be several
announce for each of the various
offices, though none have done so yet,
and our Republican friends propose to
do their worst. The one great reason
that causes Gov. Pennypacker to
withhold the appointment for judge in
this judicial district, is that he is look
ing for strong Republican who will
promise to fight real hard for election
next fall, and thus help their cause.
Be this as it may, if we have a mum.

can then nominate good men and

prove this by focusing with our glass
