Fisk has won her international rank by
virtue of the same characteristics which
brought success to Nine Norcida-a

of Thanksgiving. which Is to be OBJ
served on Thursday, November %.
This custom comes from the Purl-
tans. 1t had its origin in England. For

1t is since the Civil War that it has eX-
tended from the Puritans to the people.
1t is provided that on that day the
people shall assemble in the places
of worship and praise the Almighty for
favors and the blessings enjoyed dur
ing the year.
In once a year of three hundred and
I sixty-five days some people may find
time sufficient to recognize and voice
their appreciation for good health and
success and happiness. and once year
is better than a complete neglect or for
getfulness of such obligations, but ths
man who is sincerely appreciative at
heart will not display profusely his
thanks on the special day of observance
but he will ever be mindful III heart

FUNCTION OF APPENDIX HAS
BEEN DISCOVERED.
Physician Says 1t Is Oil Can of HUI
man System-Remove 1t, the
System Is Weakened.

If you have your appendix removed
you would better sit up and take notice
of things. While you have time draw
up your will so there will be no fuss
over your earthly possessions when you
are dead and gone.
Look up the date of your parting with
your appendix, the mysterious part of
the human body which the doctors have
always said was useless and should
be removed. According to the theory
of Wisconsin physician, who died
recently, the removal of the vermiform
appendix means death within about fif-
teen years.
OF late years, whenever person has
suffered from pain in the lower right
side, it has been pronounced as appendi-
citis by the physician. An operation is
ordered at once and the patient and
the appendix are soon parted.
The theory of the late physician is
that the appendix is the oil can of the
human system and that it has it's own
work to do the same as any other organ
"The moment the appendix is severed
from the intestines the system will be
Weakened" he declared.

The moment he began to speak l saw

how he had saved the donors from
death or mutilation. A committee
made the presentation in the house
from which the groom's sweetheart
had seen the sacrifice of the engineer.
But this was a bagatelle compared
with what was done by the officers of
the railway company. Barton was
first made conductor of freight train,
then of passenger train, then train
dispatcher, then division superintend-
ent He is now general passenger
agent of one of the largest railroads in
the country.
| I do not intend to lay down rule
as to the eXpediency of absolute truth
in all cases. If Barton had told his
story to the jury as he told it to me-
dreading the consequences of his posi-,
ton, not more than half of them would
have believed him. 1t was his rising

In America there are $50 different
denominations of the Christian religion.
The diversity of thought runs the gamut
from the Mormons, who believe in plural
marriages, to the Shakers, who do not
believe in marriages at all; from the
Episcopalians, with their vested choirs,
to the Primitive Baptists, who will not
use an organ Or other instrument in
their services; from the elaborate masses
of the Catholics to the silent meetings
of the Quakers; from the high-salaried
ministers of the Unitarians to the work
ers in the Salvation Army, who serves

Feel Loss of Advertising.

There is peculiar state of things in
Butte, Montana. where four daily news
papers have been compelled to suspend
publication, due to troubles with their
employees. For ten days no daily paper
has been printed in that town, and, of
course, no advertisements have been
printed by the merchants. The retail
dealers assert that their business has
dropped off from 25 to 40 per cent, as
result of the cessation of advertising and
general publicity. The large depart
mcnt stores show that their business
has decreased 60 per cent as result of
the stoppage of their advertising. They
had been in the habit of running full
page advertisements in the various
papers, on different days during the
week. This is tribute to advertising
that is almost startling. Few people
realize the Importance of newspaper
publicity. 1t is the life blood of trade
in all cities. 1t keeps people thinking
and stirring and doing.

HELP WILL
GET THEIR PAY

The presence OF the names Theodore
W. Francis, William Il. Deighton and
Miss Theresa Spencer on the county
payroll for salaries for May aggregat-
ing s144.5o, caused quite a stir in Levy
Court this morning. The persons are
extra clerks in the Office of Harry II.
.Billany, recorder Of deeds. and were
employed to record the unusually large
number Of deeds. Incorporation certih-
Gates mortgages. etc. that have come
into his office for record since the Leg
islative act was passed reducing the
fees for this work.
Mr.. Scott objected TO the county pay
ing the salaries on the principal ground
that all the extra help had not been
recommended by the court. Mr.. Brown
replied that the court had given per-
mission to Mr.. Billany to employ extra
help, and he had done so, believing that
no objection would be oered inasmuch
as the office is badly in need OF the
extra clerks.
Mr. Scotts objection forced the
court into executive session for con-
sideration OF the payroll At the ses-
sion the names of Mr.. Francis and Mr..
Deighton were removed from the pay
roll. The court will however order
the men paid by resolution in open
court.
