Presents from the Woods.

Presents obtained from the woods
are as pretty and will give as much
pleasure as costly gifts. Gather leaf
mold and fill Japanese bowls or bas,

with tin pan. Arrange in each the
bright little partridge vines, tiny ferns
and other little woods plants which
may be found under the dead leaves
as late as November. Keep the plants
moist, and they viii make most ac-

TOLD AFTER DINNER
ALL KINDS OF NoNsENslcAL
ANECDOTES GO THEN.
"Jones of Belham" Good Example
of What Can Be Done In That
Respect-New Version of
the Fatted Calf.


People like nonsense after dinner.
They like anecdotes. The best of anec.
dotes Is that they need have nothing
to do with the subject. | know a man
who keeps about half dozen anec.
dotes always in stock. He can make
one or the other of them fit any par.
ticular toast. l heard him propose
"The Army and Navy" He said that
some people took gloomy view of
our national defenses. For himself, he
was an optimist. 1t was always best
to look at the bright side of every
thing.
THAT reminds me-" he said. "of
my friend Jones-Jones of Belham
His motto is that there is always some
thing to be thankful for. His wife is
not of such cheerful disposition. She
is often annoyed at Jones optimism.
One day they were dining at res
taurant, and they had placed before
them very tough piece of veal. 1t
was an exceptionally tough piece of
veal.
There said Mrs, Jones, now /
think it would puzzle even you to find
anything to be thankful for in that
piece of veal
" Not a bit of it, said Jones, was
just at that very moment thinking
how fortunate it was that we hap
pened to meet it when it was young
Some time afterward l was at an
other dinner 1t was the dinner of a
scientific society. This same man was
present again, and he was put up to
propose the toast of Success to Aerial
Navigation
This is a tremendous question to
deal with" he said, but we must
make the best of things, and l hope
you will bear with me while | try to
make the best of it. 1t is such a tough
subject that it reminds me of the piece
of veal which was once placed before
my friend Jones-Jones of Belham,'
And out came the story of Jones of
Belham again; and it was quite a hit
So much so that he followed it up
with another.
Whereat the men of science gave
encouraging cheers and said Go on"
for after dinner" makes the whole
world kin, and it is just as safe to play
with the lions of learning when they
have been well fed as with any of the
inferior animals.
This calf, my friends said the
preacher, was no ordinary calf. This
calf, forsooth, was a fatted calf. And
mark you, it was no ordinary fatted
calf. This calf, my friends, had been
fatted up for years, and years, and
years."
Here is another dinner story: Two
men, who had been dining so we'll that
they could see twice as much as two
ordinary men, were rather imprudent-
ly walking home by the canal bank
Very soon one of them fell into the
water. This sobered him to some ex-
tent, and he began to yell out at the
top of his voice:
Hi hi! Help, help! l can't swim!
Help! | can't SWIM"
The other man, who had gone down
on his knees on the bank and was
trying to steady himself by holding
tightly to tuft of grass, surveyed his
friend with a CLASSY stare
u can't sh-wim, either" he said,
but | don't make such b-b-blooming
fuss about it,

Tree Dentistry.

Many methods are being tried for
the preservation of old and historical
trees in the east, some of which are
intensely interesting. On the estate of
John j. Little, at Bala, Pa, is a very
old sycamore, the trunk of which had
become decayed. The cavity was
filled with stone and cement and
around Its base was then built an
outer stone wall, so arranged that the
water would drain away from the
trunk of the tree.-Popular Mechanics.

Toledo 7heate's
Attractions at the Valentine Theatre
Toledo, Week of March
Twenty-Thlrd.

lWCUty-t
Much talk. theatrically considered
is centered upon the coming engage
ment of Henry Miller in "The Great
Divide" which is announced for Fri
day and Saturday, March 27-2S at the
Valentine theatre, Toledo, Ohio, with
this notable drama by William
Vaughn Moody. Mr.. Miller has
reached the zenith of his career as a
producing manager. Never has an
American play by an American auth
or won such instant recognition at
the hands of the most discriminating
dramatic reviewers. THE long
awaited American play" many crit
les have termed it. The unquestion-
ed power and intense human appeal
of this masterpiece of dramatic lit
erature, as well as the intelligent
and highly artistic presentation and
production, as directed by the past
master of stage craftsmanship, Henry
Miller, easily explains the phenome-
nal vogue this piece has attained.
During the two seasons engagement
at The Princess and Dalys theatres.
New York, it was only possible to
procure seats by buying them weeks
in advance or procuring them at ad-
vanced prices from spectators. Over
a half million neoDle saw this play in
New York City alone during the five
hundred performances. "The Great
Divide" will be given here by a SUI
perb company with all the wealth of
scenic equipment and the complete
production precisely as presented
during the Metropolitan engagement.

Road officials in LOnsmarSh

Mr.. j. NJ. Fishpaw, Commits
sioner, and Mr.. T. b. Hardesty.
Clerk, have been appointed for the
Road Board of Longmarsh district
for 1905.
Supervisor Pierce is hustling
things along, looking to improve
ment of the roads in his district,
and he expects to produce some
noticeable results this year. He is
now asking for volunteers to help
the crusher and road machine force
on piece of road which needs the
most work, and it is expected that
the up-to-date farmers and citizens
of Longmarsh will maintain their
reputation for public spirit and
enterprise. The sum of money
which Mr.. Pierce has available will
not reach very far, but by employ
ing only those hands that are abso-
lutely necessary, and depending
upon the public spirit ofthe farmers
along the road to help ont, great
good can and will be accomplished.
The COURIER congratuIates Mr..
Pierce, and wishes him continued
luck in his road work.

NO DANGER OF EPIDYIC.

The COURIER is glad to state
positively that the threatened cpl
demic of scarlet fever is thing of
the past.
The history of the threatened
epidemic, in brief, is as follows:
Somevery severe cases of measles
appeared in the community, and
were of such virulent character
that any physician would have been
safe in pronouncing them ''suspi-
cious." One of the most pro-
nouncedly characteristic cases of
the measles occurred in the house
of the editor of the COURIER. Two
reputable physicians pronounced
it a suspicious" case, with every
tendency toward scarlet fever,
and the house was qaurantined.
Those in the house we're requir-
ed to remain there, and those
outside the house were made to
stay away. The quarantine thus
established was maintained until
Friday of last week, when the case
was sufficiently developed for the
physicians to make the positive
diagnosis of measles.
1t is better that a physician should
err in pronouncing a disease con-
tagious, and temporarily isolate
the case, than to err on the other
hand and let deadly disease be
carried through the community.
Health laws are made for the
protection of the people. and we
are glad that this opportunity to
show that the laws are being obeyed
in Berryville has come and gone
and along with it the possibility OF
probability of an epidemic.
The health of the community
continues good.

Mr.. BRYAKS TURN TO SMILE.

A significant indication of Mr..
Bryan's strength as a party leader
Is afforded by the fiat failure of the
attempt To hold conference of
Democrats for the purpose of
harmonizing party differences by
eliminating Bryan through the pat
ent trick of adopting a platform of
principles. upon which he could
not stand. Although an effort was
made TO give the contemplated
gathering an appearances of fairness
and impartiallty, most of the Dem
Ocrats invited to attend it were so
suspicious of its purpose that they
declined 10 take part in it. They
would not have anything 10 do with
movement that could even be-
suspected of an anti-Bryan flavor.
The meeting has been Cstponed
to a later date in order to avoid
misconstruction." That is to say,
it will never be held.
Yet, as we remarked the other
day, some of the promoters of the
conference were candid enough to
admit that party harmony could
not be promoted by antagonizing
Mr.. Bryan. Their inconsistency
lay in supposing that they could
diiferentiate the man and the plat
form, and repudiate one without
offending the other. If the Demo-
cratic party gets together, it fought
to be obvious by this time, it will
have to harmonic on radical
platform or not at all. Any other
compromise would lead to a second
defeat as disastrous as that of 1904.

very salty and STEPPED In a sour and
appetizing sauce. The guests. con-
trary TO their expectation, found the
raw fish no more difficult to eat than

The elaborate fourth course consist
ed OF boiled chestnuts and n paste of

and, to conclude, tea again.
The young girls as they rose from
their low cushions and limped about
in the effort TO get the stiffness out of
their legs said that the Japanese din
ner had been very good, really much
better than they had counted on, but
perhaps little too salty for occidental
taste.-Exchange.

4 STRENUOUS RULER.

Daring. Goodness and Bravery oil
James w. of Scotland.
One of the interesting characters OF
history is James " king OF Scotland
from i4T3 TO 1913. He was athletic.
courageous and fond Of adventure. In
putting down Instructions and i'm
proving the criminal administration OF
the country he was foremost In the
ranks aud did not shun hand 20 hand
contest He married daughter OF
Henry VII. Of England and made q
treaty which secured peace between
the two countries He labored TO build
up navy and develop commerce and
showed skillful diplomacy in dealing
with other nations. He was killed in
battle ut Flodden, where his army
was disastrously defeated by Henry
VIII.
Those were strenuous times, when it
was necessary for king 10 be n fight
er and TO inspire his obstreperous sub
jects with some degree OF terror. King
James used often 10 go about the coun-
try in different DISCUSSES. not only be-
cause he loved adventure. but because
he could thus secure Information on
the state OF the nation at first hand.
II Is related OF the vigorous Scottish
king that once when wandering through
the hills during the night he was over
taken by violent storm and was
obliged TO take shelter In a cavern near
Wemys. which is one OF the most re-
markable antiquities OF Scotland Hav-
ing advanced some way In, the king
| discovered n number OF men and wo-
men ready TO begin TO roast a sheep for
supper. From their appearance he sus-
pected that he had fallen into evil COM
pany, but as Ii was then TOO late he
asked hospitality from them till the
tempest was over. They granted IL
and invited the king, who was un-
known 10 them, to sit down and Join
them at supper. They were a notori-
Gus band OF robbers and cutthroats.
and this fact soon dawned upon James.
AS soon as they had finished their
supper one OF them presented plate
on which two daggers were laid in the
form OF n st. Andrews cross. telling
the king that this was the dessert they
| always served TO strangers; that he
must choose one OF the daggers and
fight him whom the company selected
as his antagonist. The king, realizing
that he was to be murdered, instantly
seized both daggers, one in each hand.
and plunged them into the hearts OF
the two robbers nearest to him. He
then dashed out OF the cave and made
his escape, returning as soon as pos
sible with body of soldiers, by whom
the whole band was arrested and pub
licly hanged.-Punxsutaw Spirit.

Using the Fire Buckets.

In many business Offices fire buckets
are placed, filed with water, in readi-
ness for an emergency. 1t is seldom,
says the Scientific American, that in
structions for use are pinned near the
supply. The wrong way to tackle an
incipient fire is Usually to hurl the
whole contents OF bucket on the spot.
Most of the water is wasted by this
means. A heavy sprinkling is more
effective. The water may be splashed
on the blaze by hand. but a more USE
ful sprinkler is long haired white
wash brush. One OF these should hang
beside every nest OF FIRE buckets.
