What we want to know is, are there
any jackrabbits in the Atlantic for

1t is said that the eagle on the new

sick turkey. This department, how
ever, does not speak from personal
observation.
1t is the opinion of this department

get ready to vote for William Bren-

If you want a certain thing to hap
pen, it is easy to feel in your bones"
that it will happen.
The truth about it is that 1t pays no
woman to lie awake nights to listen
to what her husband may say in his
sleep.
How quickly we forget the things
that have made US laugh, and how
long we remember the things that
have made us cry.

What a difference it makes when
you feel good! Why not devote a little
attention to feeling good? That is.
why not eat and drink with a little
care? Such a course will pay big
dividends.
Lysander John Appleton is sick in
bed. He was very much excited over
the financial furry, and discussed it
everywhere, but when Attorney Cen
era1 Jackson appeared and started the
prohibition row, Mr.. Appleton couldn't
discuss two Great Questions at the
same time, and he went to bed sick.
An Atchison business man said to-
day: ''If my wife should persistently
serve as a member of a committee. 1
would leave her. There is no necessity
for women doing this sort of thing and
when woman engages in it, her hus-
bands business is injured. Other peo>
pie don't like it, and resent it."

Nests of the Golden Eagle.

Every pair of eagles whose habits 1
have had an opportunity of watching
over d period of few years would seem
to have invariably at least two alterna-

three, and 1 know of one with four
Sites In fact, 1 only know of one pair
out of many which habitually resort to
but one place and only one. The reason
for this is, however, apparent, for ow-

disturbed. The nest Is in small cavern
on the face of an absolute wall of lime
stone rock some 500 feet high, at about
400 feet from the summit. Above the

Stories are frequently heard that
business houses refuse to receive
clearing house certificates, but when
traced down it is usually found that
some one has made a nickel purchase
and presented a ten-dollar certificate
merely to get the change. Business
men would refuse to take any sort of
a ten-dollar bill under those circum-
stances if smaller change were scarce.

A GOOD PARCELs POST.

The postmaster general has outlined
three plans for postal progress which
Will be recommended to the next con-

on packages to be reduced from 16 to II
cents a pound; second, that limitation
to IL pounds; third, a parcels post to
be authorized from the point at which
the rural delivery route originates, with
cents for the first pound and cents
for each additional pound to IL pounds.
The principal benefciaries of a general
parcels post system would be the big
city mail order houses. The third plan
proposed by the postmaster general
would, however, be of direct benefit to

competitors.-Miami Republican.

in the near future they will resume

panic seems to be confined to the bank
ers. 1t is not reported that the de-
positors in a single community, got
panicky when the banks began to
horde their money. Three small banks
in southern Kansas closed their doors
when the panic started, but two of
them have resumed business. The
third may not reopen. but it will pay
depositors in full. The wise men say
the panic will check the steady in
crease in prices that has disturbed the
plain common people for two or three
years. If that Is so, and the rule ap-
plies to print paper we say, bully for
the panic.-Holton Signal.
