Mothers Cruelty to Child.

A strange story of cruelty comes from Boone Ridge, near Penfield, Pa. where Mrs Burfielder is charged with having suspended her six-year-old child in mid-air. permitting her to hang for three hours. The child did something that displeased the mother, and, seizing the little one. 1t is al legged. she tied her hands behind her and then fastened a strap about the child's waist The little offender was dragged to the barn. where rope was attached to the belt. thrown over a beam and the child pulled up in the air. This was shortly after supper, and it is said she permitted the child to swing around and around in that painful position until her husband came home at ten o'clock and cut down the child.

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
 Particular Way.

One of the neighborhood loafers sat comfortably smoking his foul pipe, ac. cording to his daily custom, in the pre- scription room of drug store. He was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk Here is sample of his sound, con tented philosophy: I'll tell you what. A man is mighty miserable if he ain t got nothin' to do, when he ain't work. in at somethin'. I know it-I've tried both ways an 1 find that there ain nothin' that makes man more miser- able than doin nothin But, you know, there's two kinds of work; one of them Is where feller goes to work at six in the mornin an works with his hands till six at night The other Is where feller sits around an thinks. ain't never happy unless I'm work in, but I don't believe in that first kind of work. believe in thinkin all day long, an that's harder than the other kind, I can tell you-you just try it if you don't believe me; 6 man is mighty miserable when he ain't workin"

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
 Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century and earlier times had easier lives than those of our generation. To be sure, there are hundred labor saving de- vices to-day which were unknown to them. But in at least two important respects they had the advantage over their descendants. They waged no conflict against dirt such as we carry on from morning till night. The Eliz- abethan had no prejudice against gar bage in his front yard, vermin in his bedroom. decaying rushes on the floor of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in his sleeves. The strength of arm and spirit which now goes to keeping clean was left to the medieval lady for other tasks. Moreover, although her cloth ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid- cry and lace, and heavy with jewels 1t was not subject to rapid changes of fashion. The cut of sleeve or the hang of a skirt was settled for five years rather than five months. Life was then free from the modern terror of looking like last years rag bag" Youths Companion.

The Labor Question.

Old Money Bags was striving And thinking day and night, Concocting plans. and scheming And making things go right. At daybreak he was stirring,
 At midnight went to bed. For eighteen hours daily
 He labored with his head. Seven days a week he labored
 With scanty time for sleep. His mighty undertaking
 In rythmic swing to keep. And while he thus was toilng
 In this incessant way, His workmen struck, demanding Of him an eight-hour day.

An Eastern exchange discusses the probability of the early passing of the automobile. That would not be time ly topic for this country, but on the other hand we might discuss the com ing of the automobile. There is phase of the question however in which we are interested, notwithstanding we have few autos in this country. If good ma chimes can be manufactured at a req sonable price, they have come to stay, and if they can not be manufactured at a reasonable price, they are not practi- cal for this country. Some Prescott citizens are now considering the par- chase of an automobile. They are sure to fill the country and be popular every where for time at least. As to wheth- CT they will stay with us depends en- tirely upon what they cost and what kind of roads we make for them to run over

Business proved very good that
day and after the go cents had
been paid each one had $1 90.
Summer was beginning and so
the cold drinks and ice cream
were added to the stand which
usually gave the boys between 30
and so cents more on the day.
Iu three months the boys had
to make their stand larger and
keep more things. Now each boy
had about $4,000 as business
had been on a rush.
After Summer was over they
decided not to handlepapers any
longer and 60 into another busi-
ness. They thought they would
put up q candy shop On Main
street. The name of the firm was
to he Sands & Brown Co.." They
rented a good sized building fa-

small boys to heiD them, their
names we're George and Sam.
They sold the news stand for
$50, and they had made $1OO.
out Of the news stand, and with
the $3.50. they put in a goo d

year both boys were old enough

more year, sold the store and
went to college. After staying at
college four years Jack and ,Tom

After one year had passed the

matized under the administration
of Assistant Postmaster General,
P. V. DeGraw. He held from the
first time he took Office t h q
there was no reason why Dead
Letter mail should not go back
to it's writer's Immediately. He
set the force in the Office to clean
ing up the arrears and two o
months ago succeeded in return
ng 4,48S letters. This record
has been badly beaten this month
when 20, ,30S letters were return
ed, leaving arrears of only co.
600 to be dealt with. This is a
cheerful contrast to the situation
a few months ago when t h e r e
were over 200, 900 letters in the
division waiting vainly for re-
turn.
DeGraw is himself an old news
paper man and was formerly
manager OF the United Press in
Washington. He is an expert
telegraph operator and has the
distinction Of operating daily the
shortest telegraph line in t h e
world. 1t is a little over 80 feet
long and runs from his desk into
the next room to that OF his pri-
vate secretary and confidential
clerk, both OF whom are ex-opera
tors. Mr.. DeGraw uses the tele-
graph line instead of the tele-
phone in directing his two assis-
tants. He sometimes uses it also
for debating, and will sit at his
desk and dictate letters by wire
to his clerk in the next room. 1t
is a very privatesort ofcommuni
cation too, for there are not
many visitors who can "read
code' and the line is much less
subject to caves dropping than
a telephone line would be.
The Smithsonian Institution in

world. 1t has constituted itself a
sort of clearing house for t h e
major scientific socities, chief a.
mong them the American associ-
alton for the Advancement of
Science and the National Acad-
emy of Sciences. These two i'm
portont institutions will here
after have their permanent head
quarters in he Smithsonian
Building, and will transact thro'
it their mass Of correspondence
with the rest of the scientific
world. 1t is a courtesy that has
been accepted with thanks by
both bodies, and will tend to
make the Smithsonian m 0 r g
than ever the clearing house for
the sientific work of the whole
country.
