Wise words from local bachelor:
"a man may f1irt with some Of
the girls all the time and all the
girls some Of the time, but no man
has right to 1irt with all the girls
all Of Il g time"
Here is the way a man con-
fessed at a revival in a neighboring
town, said a Lancaster man the
other day. He had been pressed
to repent and finally got up and
said; Dear friends, I feel the
spirit moving me to get up and tell
what a bad man I have been, but l
can't do it while the grand jury is
in session" 1.-The lord will forgive, )"
shouted the preacher. II guess
that's right" said the pen1tent",
but he amt on the grand jury"

$50 many breakfast foods are
crowding the shelves Of the dealers
said local merchant, that the
newcomer, moss, will have NJ
show at all on the breakfast bill of
fare, in spite of its cheapness and
wonderful ''nutritive value" Any
how, the breakfast fad has been
overworked, and the food doctors
should give a little attention to the
midday snack or the evening 'bite."
~
A Platteville man went into
drug store and bought a bottle of
some patent stuff, which was adver-
fused thus: mo more coughs, no
more colds. One shilling bottle"
Three days later he went to the
druggist, complaining that his
throat was stopped up and that he
could scarcely breathe. i've drunk
all that patent cough mixture" he
said. Drunk it," yelled the drug
gist. why, that's an India rubber
solution to put on the soles of your
BOOTS"
The average woman thinks the
sun and stars would cease to shine
sooner than she could interfere with
the regular routine of household
duties. A Lancaster woman was
recently informed by her physician
that she should have an operation
performed. She said she didn't see
how she could; that Monday was
washing day, Tuesday ironing day,
Wednesday the missionary society
met. Thursday was the day to clean
up, Friday to bake, Saturday to give
the children their baths and mend.
If ne could get it in Sunday after
dinner and before evening service
perhaps she would try it.

1t is said that new departure
has been instituted in Lancaster.
The laying on of hands" for certain
1nhrmities, especially in children, is
now taking the place of the mind
cure. A mother cured her bow of
cigarette smoking with one dose.
She laid her left hand on the boys
neck, her right hand on a sub
stantlal slipper and then laid it
where 1t would do the most good.
1t effected a cure and a relapse is
not looked for.

An AlConoI FACTORY.

Now that the denatured alcohol
bill has been made a United States
law which will go into effect on and
after the first day of January, 1907,
why not get a distillerV plant for
Lancaster? BY being denatured
alcohol is made so that it cannot be
used in any way for beverage, but
is very valuable as means Of pro
ducing power. It is said to be far
cheaper than gasoline or electricity
and can be manufactured from al
most any farm product even after it
has been used for other things.
We understand that it would cost
only about three thousand dollars
to build the sized plant necessary to
make a good home market for
many things the farmers could sell
and for which there is now n
market. The proposition is worth
looking into.

Strike Breakers RepeI Union Men

Goldfeld, New, Sept. 3-The first section of Farley'S strike breakers bound for San Francisco to take places on the street railway lines passed through here today. A crowd of union men gathered at the depot hotel and when the train stopped began to throw stones through the car windows. The strike breakers jumped from the train with revolvers in hand and be- gan shooting. Fifty shots were fired at the crowd of unionists and several of the latter were slightly wounded. The union men and spectators hurried for cover Every strike breaker was armed.
 rThe dating of this dispatch from Goldfeld is evidently an error in trans mission over the cable as no trans continental railroad line runs through Goldfeld. The fight undoubtedly oc, cured at some station on the line of the Southern Pacific, probably Reno or Winnemucca, each of which has a depot hotel.-Ed.

reached without great difficulty from the Yentna side. At least two availa- ble passes have been traverSed repeat edly. One is that taken by the Cook party this summer, going straight up the main Yentna to the summit and down the Kalchatna river. The other psss is reached by going up the Skwentna, Happy river and Portage creek to the summit of the range. Both passes are low and the approach es not exceptionally steep or rugged.
 The upper Kuskokwim Is naturally tributary to Seward. It is nearer to this town than to any other seaport except those on Cook inlet, and a bet ter as we'll as shorter route to it can be obtained from this direction than from any other.

He afirms that the issue is impossible to catch and worth nothing after it k caught.
