How natural it is to use the
plural form of the verb with none"
as it's subject This is because we
are guided by sound and contiguity,
as a noun in the plural and most
often ending in IS" or "es" inter
venes between the subject none"
and the predicate, of which none is
the subject. None of these nos
trums are sold by u.s." None
Ono one) are sold' None of these
visitors were Americans" If we
are writing these sentences we may
see our error after we have written
the statements and correct them,
for of course we know that none"
is singular in form. There are
very few people who are at all care
full about making the distinction in
convers atIon-they will almost in
variably use the plural form of the
verb to assert something Of none"
when plural noun in the objective
case Immediately precedes the verb,
and only a hypercritical critic will
criticise the statement as so made.
Indeed if one uses this predicate in
the singular it does not sound right
to the great majority of people.
None of these men is heathen,"
none of these horses is lame"
SOUNDS wrong, they say.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Citizens Should Assist In Prepuru-
tons for Decor alton Ceremonies.

This is the fifth decade since the
closing of the Civil War. Men who
were young then are old now.
Then there were 100000 veterans.
Now there are little more than one
third of that number, and they are
of the average age of 81.
The women Of the south first set the
example of strewing flowers on the
graves of the dead soldiers of the
Confederacy. The beauty of the
service and the loving tenderness
Of the thought touched all hearts
and finally crystallized into Memoir
ial Day on May 80 and Congress set
it's seal by making it National
Holiday and the various legislatures
are adding regulations and privi-
leges. It has become National in
the width of it's observance, but is
generally under the management of
the old soldiers themselves as rep
resented in the organization Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. But
ought it so to be any longer? A
few years ago | was with the Post
at Sioux Falls, S. d. Many had
spoken about the day iii different
cities on the line of this communi-
cation, that the citizens in some
organized capacity ought to assume
the responsibility for the manage
ment of the day. On that occasion,
in speaking to about two thousand
people, pied for what | am asking
here, that the men whose ranks are
constantly thinning, be now taken
as the guests of honor for the day
by the people themselves, rather
than that they should invite the
people to come and share with them
in the solemn and beautiful SER
vices.
This is a new and capable gen

everything else, and why not in this
matter of patriotic significance1

ton of the Congress of the United
States is worthy of the attention of
the individual. have known Posts
TO delay the making of preparations
for the day in hopes citizens would
take hold of the matter, but for
want of some one to take the initia-
tive it was vain hope, and then the
Post was obliged to take it in hand.
There are two ways of doing this:
The Mayor will issue proclama-
ton asking the closing of the bust
ness houses during certain hours
and for the proper observance of
the day. Why then might he not
feel it his duty and privilege to call
the attention of the council to this
matter, not later than in the month
of March, and appoint proper COM
mittees to look after the affairs of
the day?
Or let there be an organization 10
be constituted largely of young
men, many of whom will be Sons of
Veterans, who shall be known as
the Memorial Day Society. ! would
not object if they would also asso-
ciate with them the ladies, young or
older, and let them perpetuate the
society from year to year, eacn'year
causing the day to be appropriately
observed.
This city has strong Post con
sisting of men quite strong physic-
ally. They can take care of the day
if they must, but if the whole peo-
pie would assume that care it would
be fine thing Let us Think on
these things" e. E. CLoUGH.

MULE HAS APPETITE FOR BEER
Also Has Tobacco Chewing Habit and
Won't Work Without Weed.

Leavenworth, Kan.-More than one
hundred persons saw mule led into
the Star Of the West Saloon, where
it lined up at the bar with number
of coal miners and drank it's fl Of
beer from galvanized bucket, after
which 1t was led out into the street,
there hitched to its cart, which it
had drawn through the streets in
the Labor Day parade and after being
given chew of tobacco. started OF
for the Home mine.
The mule works in the mine and
is a great pet, but it is badly spoiled.
1t absolutely refuses to work in the
morning until one of the miners gives
it chew Of tobacco, when it starts
out and slaves all day When hitched
to the coal cart for the parade there
were four little boys in the cart. 1t
was quite restless and remained SO
until the men gave it chew Of to-
bacco. Wash Lift is authority for the
statement that 1t was fed dime plug
of tobacco during the entire parade.
It was after the parade John Werly
said it would be impossible to get the
mule inside his place. Lift not only
had the mule taken into the saloon.
but lined up at the bar. where a
bucket was provided. The animal
seemed to enjoy the beer hugely and
was somewhat averse to being led
out. He didn't stagger when driven
out.

USE OF PEAT FOR FUEL.
Canadians Preparing to Use Il as
Substitute for Coal.

The first commercially practicable
method Of preparing peat for CONNER.
cial purposes is described by Aubrey
Fullerton in the Technical World
magazine. In his article, entitled,
"Hurrying Up the Coal Mines" he
tells of the efforts of fuel men Of the
United States, and particularly of Can.
ada, to break away from their depend.
ence upon the limited sections that
now control their coal supply. In the
advent of a new coal strike in the an.
thracite fields. something must be
found which will take the place of
Pennsylvania or Nova Scotia coal, and
while the mine operators are hurrying
their collieries in order to lay up a
supply of coal in advance Of the COM
Ing winter demand. experiments are
being made in Canada which promise
to develop the first commercially prac.
ticaole method of treating peat so as
to put 1t on the market at price
which will make 1t a competitor of an.
thracite coal.
The rock upon which all former
tests have foundered Is In extracting
the last 40 per cent. Of water from the
peat after it is taken from the bog.
The new process, as described by Mr..
Fullerton. solves this difficulty in a
way which is so simple and inexpen.
sive as to reduce the cost of the dry
ing part of the operation to about one
dollar a ton.
The northern states of the union
and most of the provinces of the do
minion have extensive peat-bog lands.
and the placing of peat upon the mar
ket in large quantities promises to de-
stroy the economic anomaly of two
countries dependent upon one kind Of
fuel produced by only limited sections
of country.

UncomSortabie Shaving.

The traveller. who had just returned

customed BARRIERS chair with a sigh of
relief. This is the first time I've had

things abroad" he continued, but the
BARRIERS over on the other side still
stick to those uncomfortable chairs Of
theirs in the most absurd way.

Short Of Leg and Long Of Neck Il
Won Many a Penny.

A hen with neck like a turkey and
one leg an inch shorter than the other
attracted attention here a few days
ago and caused as much merriment as
a one.rins circus, says the New York
World man at McKeever, N. Y.
The fowl, which was said to be two
years old, was the property of an or.
gan grinder, who carried it on top of
his organ instead of a monkey. He
had taught it to do several tricks, and
it is safe to say that 1t collected more
pennies than the average simian.
When the organ grinder struck the
village the hen was perched on top of
one shoulder, emitting sounds between
q crow and squeal. This naturally
attracted attention and soon small
crowd was assembled. AS soon as
enough had arrived the hen dropped
to the ground and began to navigate
in series Of circles toward possible
donators of coin. Owing to the fact
that one leg was shorter than the
other it could not proceed in straight
line. and its efforts to pick up pennies
tossed on the ground were extremely
ludicrous.
Once it had a coin in its beak the
hen would fiutter and sQuawk and
circle back to the grinder and place
the treasure in his breeches pocket.
Then it would navigate back to the
crowd and look for more The long
neck Of the fowl was Of advantage,
for. by standing on the toes Of its
long leg, it could search vest pockets
for pennies. In this way several were
added to the collection. The hen, in
fact, was as good a pickpocket as was
ever found operating at the county
fair.

FOOLS HUSBAND LONG
WIFE coNcEALs FACT OF TWO
PREVIOUS MARRIAGES.
Suit for Big Sum In Ohio Court srinas
Strange Case to lieht-aecond
Spouse Lives Near Much
Welded Woman.

Lisbon. ON q suit for S34 900
hled here against the Hugh Montgom.
cry estate by Thomas r. Matthews,
administrator, and Florus Montgom-
cry, son by the mans first wife, it ia
alleged that when Hugh Montgomery
took Miss Lydia Hayes" as his sec.
ond wife she concealed the fact that
abe had been married twice previous.
", FIRST to Robert Hole, by whom she
had two sons, James M. and Leander.
and after divorcing him to James
Dickson.
Strangest Of all in the petition is the
accusation that she was SO successful
In concealing her marital history as
to be enabled to keep Montgomery in
ignorance Of it all during the %
years she lived with him, notwith-
standing that Dickson, husband No. 2,
resided near them.
When Dickson died MONTGOMERY
learned In some way of the deception
that had been practiced upon him and
1t was an added blow when he discov-
cred that his 400.acre farm had been
converted into cash and that much of
the proceeds had been appropriated
by his wife. Angered beyond meas.
ure, he demanded the money and at
the same time ordered her from the
house. She did not refund, but left
the house, taking the money with her,
which. 1t is alleged, she gave to her
two sons by her first husband.
The disclosures came about through
the death of James Dickson, husband
No. 2. The worry of it all affected
Montgomery's health and he died or
December 2, 1904. The woman sur.
vived until September 8, 1906, when
she, too, was stricken with a falai ill.,
ness
1t is alleged that she left $4,000,
and that her sons, James n. and
Leander Hole. took possession of the
money. The suit just entered asks
that this money be returned as we'll
as other moneys which the woman
gave to the Hole boys, aggregating in
all about $4,000.

Easy WAY to cet Rid Of stumu..

Easy Way to Get Rid Of stumps.
A method of getting rid of stumps
which has been highly recommended,
and which to be effective should be
done now, is as follows:
Bore hole one or two inches In d.
ameter and about Is inches deep into
the center OF the stump. Then put
into this hole one or two ounces Of
saltpeter. FIJI the hole with water
and plug it up. In the spring take out
the plug, pour In about one.half gal.
Ion Of kerosene oil and light 1t. The
stump will smolder away to the very
extremities Of the roots, leaving moth.
