UNIQUE ADVERTISING.

A tale is told of Robert Bonuer
and of his belief in advertising. One
day he engaged whole page OF a
newspaper and repeated a two line
advertisement upon it over and over
again. It must have been repeated
5000 times upon the page in the
smallest type.
"Why do you waste your money,
Robert 7" asked a friend. II noticed
that same line so often. Would not
half page have answered your pur-
poser"
"Half page would never have
caused you to ask the question:" re-
piled Mr.. Bonner. "At least tlve
people will ask that to every line was
the way I figured it."

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD LOVE.

There are no days like the good old days,
The days when we were youthful
When humankind were poor OF mind.
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion!
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em
AS buxom and smart, and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make EN-
They were rich In spirit and common sense,
And piety all supp0rtin';
They could bake and brew, and had taught school
too.
And they made such likely courtin'!
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together
When the grass was sweet to the brown bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sang to the Summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down By the mill the whip-po0r-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love-
The love that mother gave usl
We are old. old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God gave US
So We dream and dream of tue good old times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
As those dear old dreams bring soothing CLEANS
or heaven away on yonder.

"THERE is no power OF love so
hard to get and keep as kind voice ;
it may be rough in flesh and blood,
vet do the work of soft heart, and
do it with a soft touch. But there
is no one thing that love SO much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what it
means and feels and it is hard to
get and keep it in the right one.
One must start, in youth and be on
the watch night and day, at work
and play, to get and keep voice
that shall speak at all times the
thoughts of kind heart it IS often
in youth that one gets voice that
is sharp. Watch it day by day"

LAND CASE COMPROMISED

"a deed from Robert s. Carswell and
wife to Lyman 7. Ranstead, filed for rec
ord last Friday, marks the end OF the liti-
cation over about 30 acres of land border
ing on Spring Gardens and near the
Westport Bridge.
sThe land was claimed by Messrs. w.
B. Swindell and Lyman 4. Ranstead on
the one side aud by Mr.. X. Stanley Cars
well on the other. Mesers Swtndell and
Ranstead claimed the property under q
deed to Mr.. Charles Ranstead from Mr.
James Carroll in 1871. while Mr.. CarswelI
claimed It by deed from the State in
1060."-FrOm the Sun. February 10, 1907.
In this litigation concerning the title to about
30 acres of valuable land near Baltimore city, II
appears that each party claimed the land under
different old deeds, one dated In lS6v ana the
other In 1871. One Of these titles had thus been
held for 46 years. and the other title had been
held for IS years.

In Baltimore the rule of the trans
portation companies is that children
over the age of five years must pay
full fare, those under that age being
carried free.
One afternoon not long ago there
were among the passengers on a

Presently the lad grew restive.

Owing to the oiliness of the skin, 1t
cannot be efficiently cleansed by water
alone; hence the morning cold bath,
which is delightfully."- tonic and invigor-
ating to those with whom it agrees. is
a delusion and q snare so far as eff
cient cleansing properties are con-
cerned. The rubbing which one un-
dergoes after the cold bath undoubted-
ly assists in the removal of the dried
secretions from the skin, but there is
still need of some substance which Will

render it capable of being washed off,
Such an agent we possess In soap,
which is essentially q combination Of
an alkali (soda or potash) and fat or
oil. There Is always some free alkall

water on the body. unites with the oily
material Of the skin and renders 1t
soluble. Soaps made with potash (soft

wash the skin the natural oil is so
effectually removed as to leave the
skin dry and harsh and altogether ''too

Nollekens, the sculptor, was man
of pretty wit and of neat resource in
compliment. He had at one time for a
sitter woman of great beauty, but Of
an extremely nervous and impatient
temperament. During her sittings she
would constantly change her position,
and with each shift of posture her ex-
preston changed. At last the sculptor's
patience gave way.

The Minutest of Shells.

Among the minute existences upon
the face of the globe that have been
elevated by means Of the microscope
into an honored position of independ-
ence are the foraminefera, mostly ma
rine atoms inhabiting many cham
bered cells. At one time they were
considered mollusca, at another they
were ranked among the infusoria and
eventually they were settled com
fortably in the subkingdom protocol.
The calcareous shells have in the past
formed vast deposits Of chalk. They
are often today congregated as realms
Of sand. These animals are not al
ways minute, but generally they are
subjects lmperatively demanding the
lens. An ounce of sand has been
known to contain 5000 of their shells,
and In the West Indies the figure once
ran into millions. Your object under
the naked eye seems to be merely a
pinch Of brown sand; under the mi

the loveliest lilliputian shells, repre-
senting every variety of form known

TO CATARRH SUFFERERS.
Good Advice and Liberal Offer From
a Well Known Pendleton Druggist.

Tallman & Co. have been advising
toms of catarrh, such as offensive
breath, dryness of the nose. discharges
and droppings in the throat cough
ing spasms and general weakness and
debility, to use Hyomei. They go so
far as to offer to refund the money
to any user Of Hyomei who is not per-
fectly satisfied with the results.
Quick relief follows the use of the
Hyomei treatment the stoppage of
the nose is removed, the dropping
ceases, the breath becomes pure and
sweet, and the catarrhal germs are
destroyed and their growth prevented.
Hyomei is the surest, simplest,
quickest, easiest and cheapest way to
cure catarrh. 1t does not drug and
derange the stomach; 1t goes right to
the seat of the trouble, destroying the
catarrhal germs and healing and vital
izing the tissues
Go to Tallman & Co. today and buy
a complete Hyomei outfit for S1.00
with the understanding that IL 1t does
not give satisfaction your money will
be refunded. All you have to do Is
to inhale q little occasionally in the
air you breathe, using the pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit,
when the symptoms of catarrh will
quickly disappear. Try 1t, you will
be surprised and pleased at the re-
suits.

BIG Profits in Idaho Corn.

This section of the country is again
demonstrating the fact that it can
grow corn, and grow 1t successfully,
says a Rosetta, Ida, letter to the
Lewiston Teller. This year the crop
in this vicinity is estimated at 1000
acres that will yield 40 bushels TO
the acre, an average for the corn
section. The farmers market this
through feeding to hogs, and after
several years OF experimenting have
reached the conclusion that their
corn crop yields them the best re-
turns of anything they grow
Corn fed to hogs. according to es-
Inmates made by some of the careful
farmers, will, when the yield is av-
erage, net $40 an acre for the crop,
This Is better than wheat, where,
though the gross returns are better,
the cost of harvesting and threshing
eats into the profits.
