Coat Hangers

A CONVENIENT coat hanger for
n hotel use. when the trunk is too
full to hold any of these modern
necessities, is newspaper rolled
tightly into a cylinder and tied In the
middle with loop of cord with which
to hang it on a hook. 1t will be quite
stiff, and will hold the coat in shape.
Failing a newspaper big enough for
the purpose, an old magazine might
be of some assistance, but for a really
ideal coat hanger nothing could be
better than the Sunday edition OF
some large paper!

RUGGED AT SEVENTY.
Thomas Barton Clearing and Grub
bling Two Blocks of Land in North
Aberdeen.

Thomas Barton, who is several
months past his 10th birthday, is
clearing two blocks of land in North
Aberdeen, back in the hills. Mr..
Barton is an old farmer and soldier.
He came here year or SO ago and
bought a good deal of property in the
Broadway Hill district and is able
to live comfortably on his income,
but he prefers being close to nature
and having been a farmer all his life,
says he cannot sit around now and
do nothing, SO while his wife lives
in a home on Sixth street, Mr.. Bar
ton passes most of his time on top
of the hills in North Aberdeen. He
has cleared nearly two blocks of land
the past year and is building him
bungalow. He has lived in tent
most of the time and enjoyed life. He
is putting in lot of potatoes and
other vegetables and expects to make
this his home so long as he may live.
Mr.. Barton says his grandfather lived
to be 105 years of age. He is as
straight as an arrow and does not
locker day older than SO or GO.

REV. M'DERMOTH'S PASTORATE.
Five Years Contract With the Con-
gregational Church Society Has
Expired.

Five years ago Rev. Charles Nc
Dermoth left the Methodist church to
accept call to the passionate of the
Congregational church and his con-
tract having expired, Mr.. McDermoth
on Sunday took the occasion to re-
view the work of the church during
this time and of the administration
of city affairs during the same pc
riod. The Congregational church has
enjoyed unusual prosperity under
Rev. McDermOth'S direction and it is
a foregone conclusion that when the
annual meeting is held, which will
be soon, he will be re-engaged. Mr..
McDermoth not only reviewed the
work OF the church but of the city
during the five-year period and COM
mended the interest that had been
taken in the progress of the affairs of
the municipality. He also called at
tention to the mistakes and mis-
management.
Mr.. McDermoth deplored the fact
that so few of the professional and
business men of the city are identified
with the churches, and pointed to
San Francisco and other cities in
California, where men of all profess
sions and in all lines of business are
active in church work and in church
advancement.

One Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it, A
similar trait of human nature is to be
observed when man discovers some
thing exceptionally good-he wants
all his friends and neighbors to share
the benefits of his discovery. This is
the touch of nature that makes the
whole world kin. This explains why
people who have been cured by
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write
letters to the manufacturers for pub
LEGATION, that others similarly ailing
may also use it and obtain relief. Be-
hind every one of these letters is a
warm-hearted wish of the writer to
be of use to someone else. This rem
edy is for sale by Evans Drug Co.
