awakened much interest in legal cir
Giles by reason of the ingenious means
taken by counsel for the defendant to
secure a verdict for his client. Coun-

RESTING Period one 81 proft

The mar who fails to appreciate the
value of recreation is making a great
mistake. Attention to business and
devotion to duty are essential to sue
cess in this strenuous age, but that
fact is in itself the most eloquent plea
for a season of rest; a breathing spell
so that the high tension methods of
to-day will not wear us out before our
time. If the everyday pace was more
moderate there would be less urgent
need of rest. 1t is the pace we are
keeping time to in business in this
age that makes a vacation imperative.
Exhaustion results in not only tempo
rary but a permanent loss of vital
force. The rest period is often the
profit period in a busy mans life. No
machine can run necessarily without
repairs and the vacation time is the
repair time in the great scheme of
human economy.-Four Track News.

WAS FARMERS LVcKy Gay

Chris Hahn, of this county, whose
p~ostoffice address is Leseuer, had a
great stroke of luck last week result
ing from a serious accident.
He vas driving home, and, to short
en- the journey, turned from the high
way and took a short cut across Pea
nut Lake. Just before he reached the
opposite shore, however, the ice broke
and the team and sled were precipi-
tated into the water, which, fortunate
ly, was only about five feet deep where
the~sled went down and still shallower
where the team was.
The horses were quiet and did not
plunge about, but were unable to climb
out over the ice with the sled attached
to them. Hahn promptly love down
into the water back of the horses,
pulled out the pin that held the double
tree to the tongue, dove into the sleigh
box and got an AK, with which he cut
out some of the ice in front of the
horses. The team then was able to
climb out and were driven to Hahn to
a neighbours barn and well blanketed.
After Hahn had changed his clothes
and had taken a few drinks of hot
homemade wine at his neighbours, he
borrowed a team, and, going back to
the lake, cut a path through the ice to
the shore, fastened a long chain to the
end of the sled tongue and hauled the
sled out on land.

IRISHMAN OF THE PAST

At an elecxon before the union,
Dick Martin was opposed by Giles
Eyre of Eyecourt, a territorial mag
nate and thorough sportsman, re-
powned alike for his reckless extrav-
agances and daredevil bravery, a
Blackwood's Magazine. He was. how
ever, totally il~literate, a circumstance
less regarded then than at the pres

used to be erected in Eyre square, in
Galway, sufficiently close to each 9TH

popular favor to exchange banter and
ether sallies of wit. Advancing to the
front of his booth with a folded paper

laration which I hold in my hand"
This, however, it was not possible
for Giles Eyre to do-not from any
dissent to the views set forth in the
document in question, but because, as

Joke That Failed Twice.

Miss Adelbert had juss returned
from a vacation spent az a tiny village
on the Maine coast In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit OF a cousin, a quiet per-
son, whc vas visiting her city relative
for TIE first time in many years.
There was just one store in the
place." said Miss Adelbert, land they
kept everything that is, everything
they had to keep.
"One day | went to buy some soap,
and just on a venture l asked the
clerk if they had Browning. He stared
at me a second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the
shelves.
Presently he came back and said,
No, miss, we amt got none. We got
backing, an we got blum, an we
got whiting, but we amt got a bit o.
browning in the store"
Miss Adelbert had to make several
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the
cousin asked, gravely, But cousin
Bert, why didn't you say varnish in
the first place.'-Youth's Companion.

When he did so a great and happy
surprise was vouchsafed him, for the
high, double sleigh box, weighted down
as it fortunately had been with a cou-
pie of bundles of fence wire. had not
fioated off the runners but had re-
manned submerged beneath the water,
and, while in that position, had been
filled almost completely full of fine
pickerel, pike and black pass hat had
swarmed in from the deeper portions
of the lake to get a breath of fresh
air at the opening made when the
team broke through.
The weight of the load of fish ex-
ceeded a ton, and Hahn made a fine
profit out of the accident the next day,
which was Friday. for he brought the
load into town and sold it all in a
short time at 5 cents a pound, netting
a profit to himself of I'VE 800, after
paying Paul F. Block and Herman
Weckworth for their services as C
tioneer and clerk, respectively.
Although the fish were caught in
such a ann that it would have been
unlawful to take them in that way If
it had been lone Intentionally, the
fact that the catch was made by acct
dent took the case entirely III of the
jurisdiction of the game warden, who
promptly decided that he had nothing
to do with it, and he was n of the
heaviest buyers at the sale.-Leseuer

Famous Political Proqnosticator.

AS a political prognosticator Major
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house, is reckoned without a peer in
his end of the capitol building in
Washington. He called the nomina-
ton of Mckinley in 1896 and Parker
in 1904. He picked Reed for speaker
in the ~ifty-fourth congress and Reeds
successors in the chair-Henderson
and Cannon. He has also been sue
cessful in calling the TURF in state
nominations in Pennsylvania, and as
the major halls from the keystone
state he m mighty near knowing
all the ms and outs of Pennsylvania
politics. The other day Major Nc
Dowell was asked if he could nam

answered: why not ask me who

Material from Which Imitation Gems
Are Made Is Not Cheap.
Paste" from which imitation
precious stones are made, is widely
known, but few are acquainted with
the ingredients, though it is generally
understood that the paste gains it's
brilliancy from the lead it contains.
Formulas vary for the paste, but
all contain rock crystal, red lead, car
bonate of potash, borax and white ar
senic.
1t is required that these articles
shall be of a higher grade of purity,
as there is a considerable waste, so
that the gems made from "strass," as
the composition is technically known,
are by no 11eans inexpensive.
A paste diamond cannot scratch
glass and is thus easily detected, but
colored stones are made of crystal
alone that are considerably harder
than glass.
In the making of these a crystal
stone is followed out and filled with
some colored liquid, the orifice being
closed with a plug of crystal, which is
ground down so that there is no trace
of the junction.-New York Herald.
