LEADING THE SIMPLE LIFE
Nature COlOnists Who Are Divorced
from Civilizations Ways.

The simple life is more than
phrase in Austria, where at place
called Ascona peculiar colony has
been established by a former Bel
gian consul. The founder of this
nature cult or nature colony took to
the simple life with a vengeance.
At first he wore no other clothing
than a shirt, but his appearance in
this costume in neighboring towns
brought down on him the displeas-
ure of the authorities and he then
donned a long velvet gown Across
his forehead he also wears an orange
silk band, which confines his long,
black locks.
The members of the nature colony
wear no shoes nor stockings, even
the women going barefooted. A
loose gown, like a mother hubbard,
is the only garment worn by the lat
ter. The colonists choose to live in
dimsy huts and subsist entirely or
bread and fruit and nuts. The lux
ury of salt they deny themselves,
and their whole scheme of life is
as primitive as that of aborigines in
the native wild
For d person accustomed to the
luxuries and refinements of life to
join such a colony seems the height
of absurdity, and yet that is the step
taken by the wife of Col Leopold
Wolfing, formerly the Archduke of
the royal house of Austria. She was
formerly Mile. Adamovics, noted
singer, and now she and her husband
are estranged because of her appar-
entity perverted taste for huts, moth
er hubbards and saltless bread.

BEES TO STING HIM.
Man Is Going to Try Heroic Means
of Curing rheumatism.

Man Is Going to Try Heroic Means
of Curing rheumatism.
In the presence of the members of
the State Beekeepers Association
Friday night Redsecker l. Young of
Middletown, Pa, will be stung on
the right arm by IS Cyprian bees,
the most vicious stingers known.
The exhibition will be conducted
under the auspices of State Econo-
mic zoologist Surface, who has been
experimenting for some time with
the bee-sting as a cure for rheuma-
tism.
Mr.. Young has twice visited Pro
fessor Surface at the latter's apiary
for applications of the bee-sting cure,
and he will take another dose of
this heroic remedy before the pub
lie exhibition on Friday night.
The Beekeepers' Association will
be in annual session at Harrisburg
on Friday, and it will witness the
singing of Mr. Young.
Mr.. Young claims to have been
very much benefited by the new
treatment, and he is quite willing
to see it to a finish.

NAIL ORDERS HURT BUYER
AND HOME MERCHANT ALIKE
But the Mail Order House Advertises and Catches be
Trade All the Same Dawson Has Suffered from
People Who Send Away to Buy Goods

The GAINESVILLE Gazette says-and
many are the sermons The News
has preached along the same line:
THE mail order business is a pos
tive injury to GAINESVILLE, and we
are led to believe that hundreds and
hundreds of dollars go from this city
TO the big cities of the state and
many a dollar goes to the big cities
Of the far north and west, and that,
too, for articles which could be just
as well bought from our home mer-
chants"
It seems that GAINESVILLE has suf-
fered from town people who send to
Atlanta and Chicago to get their
goods. The Gazette relates the in
stance of a GAINESVILLE lady who
tramped all over Atlanta, and when
she finally matched her samples
found that she could buy cheaper at
home. Some time ago a person or
dered a pair of shoes from a Chica-
20 mail order house because she be-
leved she could save money by buy
ing them there. The pair sent her
did not fit. She returned them at
her expense, but the second pair did
not fit and she had to return them.
The transaction cost her time and
more money than she expected to
pay out. 1t finally turned out that
she could have bought the Identical

MAKING LOVE BY TELEPHONE
OWNERS OF THEM THINK 1T
is TIME TO STOP 1T.
Picturesque Language Two Puppy
LOVe-Sick Kids Were Heard to
Spill Into the Instrument.

Spill into the instrument.
The proprietors of a certain store
have adorned their telephone with
a card reading: do your love MAX
ing at home. This is a business
phone.
AS if this were not enough, one
of them who has forgotten the days
of his youth has told his troubles to
the newspaper. The story is inter-
esting by reason of the fact that it
shows the picturesque language
which is spoken between counting
people these days.
IF you would stand in here one
day and hear all of the soft, mushy,
cotton-in-the-mout slop that is
spilled into the mouthpiece of that
phone by young, puppy-love-slck
kids, and some that are older and
ought to know better, you would die
OF paresis. People forget when they
are at a telephone that other peo-
pie can hear what they are saying,
and can generally guess what is
coming from the other end OF the
wire. They honey-love each other;
quarrel like cats and dogs; do the
forgive and forget acts; tell what
Jimmie said about Isabel and Clarlce
about Josies mother; and, by the
holy sassafras root, there was one IN
here last week actually kissing his
girl over that phone. You just
ought to have seen that! 1t was
the seventh blunder of the world.
Honey he said, do you hear
me-?
Say, babe he continued, I can
taste those kisses yet you gave me
last evening.
Petty he went on, 4 am just
dying to feel your lips again.
Say, kid he exploded, I'll just
Kiss you once over the phone. Won t
that be swen?'
And then the lobster puckered up
MS cigarette stained smackers ana
let an osculatory conclusion into thaI
phone which threatened it's very Ire.
And back came a sort of popping
noise. l guess it was from the hon
ey-babe-petty-kid. She kissed MIN
pack, l guess. We could hear 1t all
over the room.
1t would take me until the roses
bloom again to tell even one-third OF
this rot"

MADE A MISTAKE.
Did Not Know President of the Road
When He Saw Him.


When He Saw Him.
Mr. Cassat never lost his temper
except under the greatest provoca-
ton.
His consideration for others was
shown once on a train where he was
not known to the conductor or brake
man. The train came to a standstill
owing to some trifing accident, and
after ten minutes Mr. Casset asked
the brakeman if it was not custo-
mary to send a man back with a
red flag to warn trains behind. The
brakeman admitted it.
"Then why don't you do it?" asked
Mr.. Cassatt.
eff you will mind your own bust
ness" was the reply, 1.-The railroad
men in charge of this train will at
tend to theirs We know what to
do, and want no interference from
you"
When Mr.. Cassatt arrived in the
Broad street station, Philadelphia,
he hunted up the station master and
related the circumstance. The sta
ton master started to have the
brakeman discharged, but Mr.. Cas-
satt restrained him.
Don't do that" he said, just
call him into your office and tell him
he cussed the president, and that
hereafter he should be more polite
to passengers.

NEGROES FOR TwENTY-FIFTH.

Recruiting Officers Instructed to En-

Circulars have been received au-

secure suitable negro recruits to fill
vacancies caused by the recent dis
missal of three negro companies of
the Twenty-fifth infantry by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and branch stations

shoe from her own home merchant
for a little less sum than she had
originally sent thousand miles ;,
The Gazette thinks:
1T is patriotic to stand by the
home people and then again it paws
to do it. Stop sending your money
away from home when you can make
it pay you better by spending it at
home"
All of this is good and true, and
very properly expressed; but there
is another moral to such incidents
that has not been sufficiently dweIt
upon-and that is the fact that the
mail order house advertises persist
emily and literally, in season and
out. He does not drop out during
dull season." because he refuses
to recognize that with a live mer-
chant there isn't any dull season. He
makes trade come his way, because
he is always pulling that way him
self.
1t is more than probable that the
GAINESVILLE lady never had an OPP
pOrtunity to know through the col
umns of our excellent contemporary
that the GAINESVILLE merchant had
what she wanted. Not every posi-
BILE customer cares to intrude and
ask curious questions where he or
she is not invited.

To properly present this play, real

also be several clever speeialties. One
of the most exciting climaxes Of the
bill is wnen Danial Boone has a fight
with the ferocious wolves in order
to save his daughter who is thrown
into their den by the Indians; this
feature alone is worth more than the
