mise. There are luminous match boxes and luminous ghosts to scare away bur glars. The ghosts are supposed to be for use in cemeteries and graveyards where ghouls are in the habit of visiting.
 There is an umbrella which can be changed into pipe, and an innocent looking wallxink caine has a glass tube inside which will hold one-half pint of "undertaker's delight" and is recom- mended by the inventor as most con- vnnient and useful article for use In pro- hibition states" A far more useful model is that of hand sewing machine, de- signed for sewing patches on worn and torn garments. It looks like pair or large scissors and Is worked up and down Ike the blades of shears. Could the machine prove practical, patient and overtaxed mothers could have their young hopeful march up in regular order and the patch put on while they walt.
 Preachers of all sizes are provided for in pulpit so arranged that by pressing a button it can be adjusted to any height desired In the same row Of models IS a '1overs gate'' which will swing both ways and which can be raised or lowered to suit the size of the lovers.
 Saint Cecelia has had many remark able imitators, judging from the models of musical instruments. A violin with a horn attachment is fair sample, the horn being at the neck of the instru- ment, There is a combination instru- ment representing almost an entire brass band. A violin maker has a patent on a violin made entirely of hardened glue, and he believes that he has solved the question of tone producing violins.
 To Discourage Destructive Hens.
 Men and women who have lost their patience ''shooing' chickens from their flower beds and gardens might investi- gate the "chicken hobbler," a device to be attached to chickens leg and which will force 1t to move onward if an at- tempt is made to scratch. The inven- tor asserts that it will make the most obstinate old hen walk right out of a gar den There Is also patent machine for forcing non-laying hens to produce eggs. This is a ready made nest with three imitation eggs placed in it. The inventor says that a hen with the least ambition will not refuse to lay after she has a look at the tempting nest There are several patents for holding a cows tail while being milked. and a shrewd Yankee has invented an adjustable tail for horses. A luminous harness has been patented, so that horse being driven at night might look like sheet of chain ed lightning. There is an iron bootjack made in the form of pistol which may be carried in the pocket and used to frighten the holdup man, and there is also a pocketbook which conceals a pis- tol. A patent shotgun Is provided with a cavity in the stock sufficiently large to hold a flask of whisky. and there are imitation cocoanuts, designed to be used in prohibition states. A freak patent which at one time had a very large sale

Cincinnati June 1-(Special.) )-Taft who is having the fight of his life to get his own state in line, is not the only presi- dentlal candidate with active home oppo- sition. Over in Indiana a strong delega- ton of anti-Fairbanks men are camping on the trail of the Vice President, while in Illinois a crowd of active and influ- ential gentlemen are trying to devise ways and means for transforming the Cannon boom into a funeral party.
 Governor Deneen and Chairman West of the republican state committee are re- ported to have instituted a gum-shoe cam paign against the speaker, and the task of keeping the House of Representatives In line may yet be made to look like playing marbles compared with that of getting the Illinois delegation in satisfac- tory working order.
 The opposition to MT. Cannon in Illinois is thinly disguised under a third term movement in behalf of President Roose- welt. A great cry Is being sent up for the Rough Rider to save the country once more, and In Illinois as elsewhere, there Is growing conviction that this cry may yet be needed. There are some who think that to dscredit the various candidates in their own state is but a part of the great political game.
 Pernlclous Activity.
 The gentlemen who would spike the Fairbanks presidential movement in his home state have already presented their case to the authorities in Washington, but thus far no order has been issued from the capital to put the brakes on in In- diana. The case was carried to Washing ion through a COn1nla int a OQfnEt District ! Attorney J. B. Healing of Indianapolis, who was charged with that hideous crime, "pernicious political activity" his activ- ity being directed toward landing the In- diana delegation for Fairbanks. The de- partment listened attentively to the de- tails of the crime and then shook It's head. It was held that to either gag or behead the district attorney might be con- strued by some as an unfriendly act to- ward the vice president, and MT. Healing is still hunting Fairbanks delegates be- fore and after meals.
 The latest blow to the Taft boom in Ohio came from a source that can scarce ly be deemed as unfriendly, 1t having been delivered by Elmer Dover, secretary of the national republican committee MT. Dover gives it as his emphatic opinion that delegates to the national convention, selected in advance of the call for such convention by the national committee, would not be official, and that to so se- lect delegates is to run the risk of contest. While this opinion Is not given as official, 1t serves to throw cold water on the proposition to hold a convention this summer in Ohio and elect Taft dele gates-a move by which the Taft people hoped to head off the opposition which will arise when the regular convention Is held next year, and also to place Ohio lon record" for Taft.

William S. Ennis
A Remarkable Record.

w. II. Newell. who manages
Mike Elmore's farm west OF
town gave US his crop record
for 1907 Tuesday, which
seems a fine one. He says
he had just finished putting
up 450 tons of hay-350 tons
new--of, of 220 acres. He
said he sowed 80 acres in
wheat last'fall and sowed this
field in clover in the spring.
After harvesting $1,000 worth
OF wheat, he put up over $500
worth of clover bay from the
same field, making an aver
age of over $3.50 per acre.
500 per acre may be high
for good land but as long az il
yields such crops it is a good
investment.

WILL ASK MIR. BROWN.
Our City Dads Make a Serious
Bluhder.

The city council last spring
passed an order calling for a
a four.foot brick sidewalk on
east side of Redmsn between
Arrow and Vest Sts. The
property owners set to work
and have built the greater
part of the walk when it was
discovered that "Mr. Brown
was dispDeased at the order.
In spite of the great learn.
ing and much wisdom this
dilemma was unlocked for and
at the meeting Monday even.
ing some means of escape was
planned. Finally J. B. Prior,
chairman OF the sidewalk COM
mittee, struck a happy
thought. He promised to
"see" Mr.. Brown personally
and make things right with
him. The other members
failed to express their regret
at having provoked the said
Mr.. Browns displeasure and
it may 60 hard with them.
But, seriously, the proper
ty owners are determined to
see that the walk is built.
That part of the walk which
Is built has been cut down
about two feet and they do
n IT care u have a "hump" in
the walk because any one man
thinks he owns the town.
When the city has to borch
things and ask advice from
individual taxpayers who are
abnormally selfish 1t is time
to ''shut up shop" and pull in
the sign.
