The KNITTING" Cure

My prescription, madam" said a
physician to a lady who came TO him
sunering from some nerve trouble is
that you knit two hours daily"
Knit" exclaimed the ladv in
amazement Why on earth should I
knit?"
Because nothing is more soothing
to the nerves." said the medical man
Nothing conduces to such a calm ana
eheertul frame of mind. 1 could nre-
scribe Valerian for you, but knitting

more good. I believe that a month of

He spoke from experience. He bad
already prescribed the treatment with
great success, to a number of other
women.
Exactly wherein lies the virtue Of This
simple cure for disordered nerves a

Il may be that there is some hvpnotic

we have a notable testimony to This

wnen he was restless or i'll he used to

enough probably he could give no

knitting may, therefore. be recom-

anxious to engage in c0nver
salion on his lavorlte theme, and
he Is an Interesting and fluent
speaker on this as on almost any
other subject. He has certain
views as regards methods, but
he is open to conviction and is
never dogmatic. He is the ex-
ponent of the middle ground in
methods OF teaching, trying to
preserve the best of the old
methods and TO incorporate such
of the new into his system as
seem likely to stand the test.
Without a superior as an in
structor and with but few equals

Supt. Banks is easily one of the
foremost graded school men in
the state.
Mr.. John A. Jenkins, who oc-
cuPies the position of principal

fatigable worker, and there is
undoubtedly a future ahead of
him if he adheres to his present

pondence in The State between
Sheriff Hunter of Lancaster and
Solicitor Henry of Chester.
Sheriff Hunter has many warm
friends in Chester county, as
we'll as throughout the State,
who it would be hard to make
believe that he would be guilty
of deviation from any official
duty. Mr.. Hunters friends here
are appreciative of the service
he has rendered his county and
also the State, when he was
United States marshal.
AS has been proclaimed in
public print, even in the
columns of The State, Sheriff
Hunter has no superior in the
State in the discharge of his
official duty.
We deplore the fact that any
reflection should be shadowed
forth in regard to his "efforts"
in the Morrison case. We all
know OF how he chartered an old
freight car and went laundering
over the double trestle at break
neck speed in the nights dark
ness to save the neck of the
criminal.
This was not written in de

to show him that his efforts are
appreciated. He is fully able to
take care of himself; Is a fear
less. brave man of pronounced
convictions.

mold Your Gotten !
Says Harvie Jordan--Presi-
dent of Southern Cotton
Association is LOOKING, for
Better Prices.

About the middle Of last Nov
ember the Southern Cotton AS
soclatlon advised all spot hold
ers to demand fifteen cents per
pound, basis middling, for the
balance of the unsold portion of
the present crop and pledges
were asked for ninety days. The
mammoth Cotton Convention.
held at New Orleans, La.
January II 13, 1906, passed a
resolution unanimously endors-
ing the holding movement for
fifteen cents, and advocated the
continued holding of the unsold
portion of the crop for that price
independent of the ninety-day
pledging. The executive COM
mittee Of the Association sub
sequently endorsed the action of
the Convention, and all SPOT
holders were earnestly asked to
stand firm until a maximum
price Of fifteen cents was
offered. Remember one wear
ago cotton sold at seven
cents per pound in February
and advanced to over ten cents
early in July in the face of a.
OOO,OO bales crop. This year
the crop is 100000 bales less.
Consumption is lar greater this
year than last, and the prices of
all lines of cotton goods abnorm-
ally high. If the small balance
of the cotton now held is sold for
htteen cents, the whole crop will
not average over II 1.2 cents
per pound. Receipts will soon
drop off heavily and a strong
er market will be had.
DO not rush your cotton on
the market, but hold it and win
out in the great struggle that is
on between the spot holders on
the one side and spectators,
spinners and buyers on the 9TH
er. Yours truly.

THE SALT SEA WIND.

When Venus, mother and maker Of
blisses,
Rose out of the pillows, large
limbed and fair,
She stood on the sands and blew
sweet kisses
To the salt sea wind as she dried
her hair.
And the seal sea wind was the first
to caress her,
To praise her beauty and call her
sweet;
The first of the whole wide world to
possess her
Though the sea is old with its sor-
rows and angers,
Ard the world has forgotten why
love was born,
Yet the salt sea wind is full of Ian
guors
That Venus taught on her natal
morn.
And now whoever dwells there by the
ocean,
And feels the wind on his hair and
face,
Is stirred by a subtle and keen emo
ton
The lingering spell of that first en-
brace.

A LAND OF MYSTICISM.

Persia probably doesn't know she's
sore problem to the foreign secre-
taries of nations, besides being the
despair of all missionaries. Her shah
king of kings''-ensconced in bar
barrie splendor in his vast rambling
palace at Teheran is, of course, a
mere puppet juggled alternately by
Russia and Great Britain, both of
whose huge empires impinge upon
that of the shadow of God upon
earth"
A land of other days, Persia's glory
is departed, like that of the Medes
and Parthians, the Babylonians and
Assyrians. Her cities are crumbling
to ruin; her laws are the whims of
grand viziers; her court a mere hot
bed of harem intrigue more strange
than any found even in the glowing
pages of THE Arabian Nights. -

GIVE Us STREET PAVING.

The present city council has an op-
portunity to do more good service for
Pendleton than any council in the
history of the city.
BY responding to the public demand
for street paving, the council can ele-
vate Pendleton out OF the list of coun-
try towns, place her in the list of
cities and erect a monument TO the
progressive spirit Of the council which
will stand for all time.
There is no legal objection to paw
ing. There is little public sentiment
against it. There Is no just nor logi-
cal grounds upon which the council
can refuse to inaugurate paving at
once. II it refuses to inaugurate it,
it must do so upon some weak pre-
text which the council, as a body Of
business men, cannot afford to found
an objection upon.
The matter has been thoroughly
discussed and practically all the
home owners are unit for good,
substantial paving at the earliest pos
sible date. The legal technicalities
have been swept away. The pretexts
Of the opponents have melted one by
one before the reasoning Of the advo-
Gates Of paving, and now any objec-
ton to paving which the members of

Senator Long, of Kansas, didn't
mingle much in society when he was

few days ago he went with his wife

Elkins, of West Virginia. The Longs
went in. The senator shook hands
with Mrs. Elkins, who received them
most graclously. Then he went on
down the line, shaking hands with
everybody else he saw. The person
at the end of the line was very dis
tinguished looking man, and the sem
ator greeted him warmly. "Who was
that man at the end of the line with
whom / shook hands?" asked the
senator of Mrs. Long, when they had
greeted everybody. "That?" asked
Mrs. Long; "oh, that was the butler"
