Lumber m n Of Cairo win feel muel

Lumber m N Of Cairo will feel much
gretified over the announcement that
the Illinois Central Company is about
to greatly improve its facilities for
handling freight here, especially ii
the matter of transferring lumber
from barges to cars in the harbor, AS
stated in The Bulletin some time ago,
the inadequacy OF these facilities was
mainly to blame for the great quanti-
ties OF lumber taken from Cairo 70
Joppa for reshipment. amounting 20
over one hundred train loads since
January l, of this year. Other con
templated improvements by the Hi.
nois Central here, notably In the pas

preciated.

from the male hair of the fictitious

alacrity on the part Of man TO disclaim

But even thar does not explain the

weather plant. John Nowack took out
the patent. The weather plant is still
believed by many persons to foretell
the weather. John Nowack was sure it
did so, and he put it on the market
along with an indicating apparatus,
guaranteeing it to foretell for forty
eight hours in advance and for fifty
miles around fog, rain, snow, hail,
earthquake and depressions likely to
cause explosions of fire damp. Alas
for poor Nowack! The experts of the
bureau of agriculture took up his pat
ented plant. They proved that the
movements Of the leaves-to the right
foretelling rain, to the left foretelling
drought-were not caused by the
weather, but by the light And thel
proved that the plants famous down

to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that punctured the stem,

Spanish POliteness.

It has been said that the French are
the most polite people In the world,
writes our lady correspondent in San
Sebastian, but do not think any one
who really knows them will agree.
However, they have some charming
little ways, and when they are rude it
is because they are deep down thor
oughly selfish. Ny personal opinion is
thas the Spaniard is about the most de-
ughtfully polite person one can posi-
bly, encounter. If you ask your way in
the street Of some ordinary woman,
she will almost certainly go out Of her
way to accompany you down the street
and to carefully put you on the right
road. They are very cheerful and gay,
but they are never vulgar, as we I'M
derstand the word In England. Even
the men in the streets who stand and
frankly stare at pretty girl do it in
a light hearted, pleasant way which
does not give offense.. AS to the man
ners Of Spanish men belonging to the
best society, they are almost perfect.
Watch Spaniard of distinction adj
dress his mother or any elderly lady
and you will see manner which Is
tender and caressing and at the same
time exquisitely protective. - London

Went Uncalled For.

Deacon Eden Libby Of Bridgton,
Me-, was a man Of rugged virtues and
indomitable WILL Some winters ago
while working in his wood lot he cut
his foot badly, but, bandaging the
wound roughly and putting snow into
his boot to stop the bleeding, contin-
ued at his work until nightfall. Sad
to relate, he took cold, and death re-
suited few days later. A local char
acter named Farrar was clerk and gen.
eral utility man at the Cumberland
House in Bridgton village at that time
and was accustomed to make note on
the hotel register from day to day Of
local eyents-the weather, etc. In his
chronicle of this sad event he wished
to indicate that Deacon Libby's death
was unnecessary. The following may
be seen today on one of the old regis
tiers at the Cumberland House:
Deacon Eden Libby died today. He
cut his foot badly, did not have the
wound attended to and went to meet
