after an illness OF two weeks. Mr.. Clark
had been q summer guest here for many
years. In the season OF 1905 his health
seemed failing, and last year he went to
resort nearer home. Mr.. Clark was one OF
the oldest merchants in Utica, the head of
the Clark Horrocks Co., house estab-
lished nearly century ago. He was the
last survivor OF family OF seven brothers
and one sister. He never married. A
genial, kind-hearted man, he will be
greatly missed by all who knew him and
esteemed his noble character.

Payinq Visits In Australia.

In Australia months visit to

months-three months-six months-as
long as you like would not be consider
ed too long, other things being equal
Nobody thinks of dates. To write and
invite you from the 18th to the 30th
would be rude. You are asked to stay
as long as you like. Or else you ask
yourself to stay as long as you like. Or
even-to face all the contingencies
you neither ask nor are asked. You
simply CO. And, having arrived, you
remain, for the one unfailing commodi-
ty of an Australian country house is
welcome. Everything else may give
out. If you stay long enough there is
sure to be a time when there are no
servants, no milk, no vegetables, no
meat but mutton, or even no water.
but the thoughts of guests going away
will never enter the minds Of the host
and hostess. Good nature, gayety, in
formality-these are the leading notes
Of life in every Australian country

The Funeral SPONGE.

1T is amusing to think off," he said.
Imagine it-by means Of these sponges
all the mourners' tears are collected
and preserved in tiny vases Of crystal.
They are used afterward as medicine,
for they are thought to have wonder
full healing power. During the serv-
ice each mourner keeps his sponge
ready, and every tear that wells into
his eye is sopped up before it has a
chance to escape. The undertaken tip
toes politely about, he extends tenta-
lively the crystal vase, and those who
have anything to add to it's contents
squeeze their sponges solemnly there
in. Then, with bow of acknowledge

Two SMALL VILLAGES
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Soaking Rain Then Puts an End
to Burning Forests.

Marinette, Wis, Sept. IA soak
ing rain has extinguished the many
forest fires in Marinette county which
had grown more menacing than ever
Before the rain came the small towns
Of Coll and Kinsman, on the Wiscon-
sin and Michigan railway, were wiped
out and the six or eight families in
each place had to flee for their lives.
They came to Marinette. The town
of McAllister was saved by the resi-
dents, assisted by volunteers from
Marinette.
The loss to the N. Ludington COM
pany, Senator Stephenson and the
SaWyer-Goodman company in standing
timber will be large. Other companies
on the Menominee river also lost heav-
lily in standing timber. Millions of
feet of pine and hard wood were
burned over. All this will have to be
put in this winter and it will be a
great boom to the logging business.
Most of the companies will have to
double their output of timber to pre-
vent it from being destroyed by the
worms next summer.

His Idea of tho EnuIish,

The following illustrates Louis Phi
lppe's idea Of England and the Eng
lish. He one day asked Hugo If he
had ever been in England and on re-
ceiving a negative reply continued:
"Well. when you do go-for you will
go-you will see how strange it is. It
resembles France in nothing. Over
there are order, arrangement, symme-
try, cleanliness. we'll moved lawns and
profound silence on the streets. The
passersby are as serious and as mute
as specters. When, being French and
alive, you speak in the street these
specters look back at you and murmur
with an inexpressible mixture of gray
ity and disdain, French people! When
l was in London l was walking arm
in arm with my wife and sister. We
were COW ersing in a not too loud tone
Of voice, for we are we'll bred persons,
you know, yet all the passersby, bour-
geois and men Of the people, turned to
gaze at us, and we could hear them
growing behind us: French people!
French people! "-"Memoirs of Victor

Too Scarce to Throw Away.


''They pipe water now through the
burning Australian desert that lies be-
tween the coast and the Kilgoorlie gold
fields, a distance Of about $50 miles,
but in my day in that forsaken coun-
try water was the scarcest commodity

was carefully collected again by the

Rossini and the Drum.

When Rossini's ''Gazza Ladra" was
performed for the first time the drum
in the orchestra not only excited much
comment. but caused the enemies of
the composer, whom they denounced
as foolish inventor of unmusical
novelties" to threaten Rossini with
bodily violence. One young man, a
pupil of Rolla's, gained admission to
the composers presence and declared
that art had been so violently outraged
by the invention that he must kill the
offender. He drew weapon, but con-
sented to listen to argument. He had
been soldier, and when the composer
asked him why there should not be
drum where there are soldiers he
sheathed his knife. ''Promise me,
though he said, that you will put
no drums in your future music" Ros-
SIM promised, but forgot.

FIFTY ARRESTS MADE.
Sunday Blue Laws Being Enforced at
~-~s Portland, Ore. -.

a.
Portland, Ore, Sept 9.-Fifty store
and shopkeepers, representing prac-
tically every class of business except
Ing saloons, were placed under arrest
Sunday in this city in an effort to
put into effect blue law which has
been resting undisturbed on the stat
ute books of the state since it was en-
acted some fifty years ago. The store
keepers gave bail in the sum of $50
each and returned to the peaceful pur-
suit of their business. No attempt
was made, and it is understood none
will be made, to enforce actual clos
ing of stores until the constitutional
ity of the law is tested.
The law under which the arrests
were made was passed by the legisla-
ture in 1864 and makes it unlawful to
conduct on Sunday any class of bust
ness except drug shops, livery stables,
bakeries and butcher shops.

TRAIN GUARDS SHOT DOWN
Thirty Men Secure Big Booty in Rus
sian Holdup.

st. Petersburg, Sept. J).-A success
full train robbery has been executed by
a band of thirty men near Wilma. No
definite statement of the exact amount
of the booty has yet been made, but
1t is estimated to vary between $4,000
and 100000. In addition to this
money there was on board the train
valuable registered correspondence and
the days receipts from all the railroad
stations between the frontier and
Wilma. The guard on board the train
consisted of six men only. The rob-
bers took possession of a small station
before the arrival of the train and
shot down the train guards as the en-
CINE slowed up. They kept up a con-
slant fusillade during the robbery to
1ntimidate the passengers, number of
whom were wounded by broken glass.

Observation-Disclosures PER ANNUM
SHOULD JAIL A FEW WHO ARE CARELESS
WITH FIRES. e. -

State Land Commissioner Iverson
has issued report regarding the
loss from the terrible forest fires on
the Iron Range, which is to the
effect that the flames did no damage
whatever to the timber lands belong
ing to the State of Minnesota.
AS soon as the fires would per-
nit, the Land Commissioner sent
deputies to investigate the damage.
They found that the fires had only
travelled over the same paths that
previous fires had done, and the
immense trees for which Minnesota
is so noted, were uninjured. The
state owns millions of acres of
timber lands worth hundreds of
millions of dollars. Any loss to
them would mean a serious loss to
the state. Private lumbermen in
Saint Paul have also sent out men
to estimate the fire damage. These
men all report that all of the good
timber has escaped with but little
damage done. The Weyerhauesers
of Saint Paul, the largest lumber
owners in the world, were unframed
by the fires.
The results of the bad fires this
fall should be a lesson to those hunt.
ers and campers who 60 out in the
woods and kindle fires, and who are
in the habit of leaving the fire with.
out extinguishing the flames, many
of just such acts being directly
responsible for CONGREGATIONS that
did much dhmage.
The fire warden law should be
diligently enforced. There is a
severe penalty provided for the VIC
lations of the provisions of the law
forbidding the leaving of fires, etc.,
and it is the duty of all officials to
see that these provisions are enforced.
If a few careless people should be
put in Jail for sixty or ninety days,
the example would undoubtedly
result in much good, and act as a
great preventative measure.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are Well?

Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid in the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove
all uric acid from the blood. Its
presence there shows the kidneys
are inactive. Don't daily with
"uric acid solvents" You might
go on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you
will never get we'll. Doan's Kid
ney Pills not only remove uric
acid, but cnre the kidneys and
then all danger from uric acid is
ended. Here is Bemidji testimony
to prove it.
Mrs. Mary A. Cochran, living at
1914. Mississippi Ave., Bemidji,
Mimi, says: Il had been suffer-
ing from rheumatism for over ten
years and was troubled with this
complaint for so long that I never
expected to get relief. My kid
neys were badly disordered for two
or three years and despite the
many remedies I tried, did not
get any better. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my
attention and I procured a box at
the Owl Drug Store. | have been
using them for some time and
