Sociability.

On a recent Sunday gentleman
who has, with his family, resided
in this city for nearly six years but
who has been absent in the South
for some months, attended the
morning service at one of our
churches, and wishing to remain to
Sunday School he was quietly wait
ing in one of the seats where he
was approached by several of his
acquaintance with a pleasant
greeting. After others had ad-
dressed him and passed on, lady
teacher of one of the classes came
to him and asked if he was strang
er and manifested a wish that he
might feel himself welcome, etc.
The gentleman replied that he had
lived here for about six years and
had been away for some months but
felt that it would be a great deal
pleasanter for the many strangers
who visit not only this but other
cities and attend the churches, if
the people would all be as cordial
as this lady was even at the risk OF
being mistaken.

Too Manv LAWYERS in 1854.

In some old records just found in a
Suffolk parish appears the following
entry of statute passed in 1854, the
second year of the reign of Queen
Mary, says the London Globe: That
there used to be six or eight attorneys
only for Suffolk, Norfolk and Norwich
together; that this number has in
crfGlsed to more than eighty, most OF
whom, having not sufficient knowl-
edge, come to fairs, etc., melting the
people to small trespasses that they
may get employment; wherefore there
shall be hereafter six for Norfolk, six
for Suffolk and only two for the city
of Norwich"

Christian Endeavor Topic for
Oct. 81: Faithfulness; Luke 16: 10;
l Cor. 4: Is: Rev. 2:10.
Leader-Simon Norstrom.
This topic bears upon our pledge
and our fidelity to it. Let each one
carefully study his pledge and ask
himself seriously, lust what do
we promise here?" And How can
we keep ourselves faithfully to this
promise9"
Let US look carefully into our
every day lives. Are we proving
faithful in the little things of life1
For by by being faithful in the lit
tie things of life we are greater
than if we waited for large things
in which to be faithful.
LET me but do my work from day TO day,
In field or forest at the desk or loom,
In roaring market place or tranquil room
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beclxon me estray,
This is my work my blessing, not my DOOM
OF all who live, am the one by whom
This work can best be done, in the right way,
Then shall see it not too great nor small
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers
Then shall cheerful greet the laboring hours
And cheerful turn when the long shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest,
Because know for me my work is BEST

Scarcity of Hickory Wood.

Hickory. one of, ii not the most val
liable of our native woods, has become
30 scarce that many substitutes have
of necessity been found for it. The
wonderful increase in the demand for
buggies and carriages of the finer
class had much to do with the virtual
exhaustion OF the great American
hickory forests. England, Germany,
China, Australia, South Africa and
South American countries made strong
acquisitions on the American supply.
Years ago the supply of this fine wood
north Of the Ohio river had been ex-
hausted Despite substitutes and
changed conditions, hickory remains
one of the most valuable of American
woods.-Baltimore Herald.

Nests in Mali Boxes,

Since free delivery of mail In rural
districts has been established | have
been pleased to discover two or three
pairs of bluebirds nesting undisturbed
in mail boxes by the roadside.
1t is gratifying to know that the
birds allowed themselves to be dis
turbed two or three times day and
yet did not abandon their nests; but
the thing that gives the bird lover the
greatest delight is the fact that no one
robbed the nests. / am sure the blue
bird will in time learn to appreciate
this kindness, and the day is not far
distant when it will be common oc-
currence to find some kind of birds
nest in every home made box that
holds q letter.-St Nicholas.

Memory and Hearing Test.

Try this some evening when you
want a new way of entertaining your
friends. Give them paper and pencils.
Let some one play snatches of pieces
at the piano. There must be no pauses
between the different selections, and
a couple of the most familiar lines
from each piece will be enough. Have
some hymns in the group, some patri-
otto songs, little well-known as rag
time. and then something of higher
order. like Lohengrin's Wedding
March," which every one will be sure
to recognize. OF course, the writing
must be done very promptly and no
time can be allowed for thinking. Ii
Yankee Doodle be played very, very
slow, but few people will be able to
name it. 1t will probably be classed
as a hymn.

Turkey Ruzzards Far North.

Two turkey buzzards have been OBJ
served east of the city, along Oil creek,
says the Titusville (Pa.) Herald.
These birds, evidently pair, have
come further north than is their Gus
tom. and so far as can be learned
have not hitherto been seen in Craw-
ford county.
They are large fellows, almost the
size of full grown turkeys. When seen
both were in the air, SO that an accur-
ate view was not possible; but the
Identification was made by gentle
man familiar with the birds, and,
therefore, qualified to pass an opin'
ion.

OF INTEREST TO AUTOMO-
BILISTS.
Kansas City Races. An
Open Letter.

Buick Motor Company, Jackso n,
Mich.-Gentlemen: Confirming my
telegram of October Sd in regard
to the Kansas City races, will give
more detailed account of the
same:
In the first event, a fifty-mile
race for fully equipped cars, we
came in second with the Pope To-
ledo first, beating the Ford, siX-cyl-
inder, 40-45 Pierce, Stephens-Dur-
yea and Jackson. The newspapers
gave the Pope-Toledo credit for 60
ing the fifty miles without a mis-
hap. They did have to stop for oil
and the larger cars were using
Cracked ice" by the basket full.
l am pleased to say that the Buick"
finished the fifty miles without
skip or stop"-our time was one
hour, ten minutes.
The next event was the Runabout
class of ST 900 and under. We ran
Runabout in the fifty-mile race,
took the same car and out-stripped
the Maxwell, Ford and another
Buick Runabout in this race. Am
happy to say the other Buick finish
ed second, clearly demonstrating
what the Buick can do with a few
of our competitors.
The third event was a Touring
Car, catalogue equipment, up to
81, 800. In this our competitors
had 'cold feet" and none entered
but Buick.
Our next was the seventh race
five mile--"free for all'' Touring
cars, catalogue equipment. In this
we ran second to the Thomas, beat
ing the Pope-Toledo, Stevens-Du-
ryea and Jackson four cylinder.
We easily beat the Stevens-Duryea,
which is great tavorite in Kansas
City, by quarter of lap.
In the novelty race, which started
with a dead engine and alighting
passengers at the end of each mile,
we again ran second with the
Thomas Flyer. Here again we
demonstrated the Buick two-cylin-
der carrying a load, against the
Stevens-Duryea with a load, going
by them on the back stretch in the
first mile, with no effort at all. In
this event we beat the Stevens-Du-
ryea, White Steamer and Pope-Tol-
edo.
In the ninth event, which was a
stripped stock car race for Board of
Trade cup, we did not enter. We
had a stripped car, but owing to my
having to run in three preceding
races / did not have time to try the
car out and the last minute found
the car was skipping. Although it
took but few minutes to fix it The
Judge did not wait; but for conso-
lation they allowed me to run
against time, which ! did in 1:19.
The attendance at the races was
very large and great interest was
shown over the consistent perform
ing of our car, although the COM
petitors tried to spread reports that
we were using some sort of pre-
pared mixture" Mr.. Hathaway
was much pleased with the out
come of the afternoons work.
Very truly yours,
J. G.. WHITE.
1t will be noticed that the Buick
cars used in these races were the
two-cylinder type, of price $1,000
and $3.50 in competition with
some cars costing two, three and
four times as much.
The Buick is sold by J. c. TAN
