CANVAS GLOVES AND MITTENs.
There Were Some 100000 Pairs Made
Last Year in This Country.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
For an infant industry the manufacture
of canvas gloves and mittens appears to
be doing very well. 1t is as yet scarcely
fifteen years old, and 1t did not fairly
get into its stride until about five years
ago. but there were turned out in this
country last year such goods to the num-
Der all told of S0,0OOOOO pairs
What started the first canvas glove and
mitten factory appears to be a mooted
question. 1t is probable that the first pair
and this most likely a pair Of mittens,
was made by some farmers wife for her
husbands use, and that as their utility
commended them other farmers wives
made the same sort of mittens or gloves
for their husbands unit. their use became
more or less common in a neighborhood
or district, and then somebody began max
ing them for sale.
Now there are canvas glove and mitten
factories scattered throughout the United
States. There is one eastern concern in
the business that has fourteen factories
in various states east of the Mississippi
river, including one in this state, and can
vas gloves and mittens are worn all over
the country, and they are now exported
to various foreign countries
Canvas gloves and mittens are made
Tor women as well as Tor men, and they
| are produced in great variety, in various
styles, and, of course, in various sizes
and in canvas of various thicknesses and
in colors white gray, brown and striped,
| and some have attached to them leather
| palm pads and thumb pieces, and some
| have attached woven wooden wristlets.
! and there are canvas mittens that are
woolen lined. Canvas gloves and mittens
are made in 200 or more varieties.
They are worn by iron handlers, who
perhaps buy those faced with leather or
| use with them separate leather palm
| pieces They are worn by motormen and
cab drivers and automobile drivers and
truckmen, and by farmers and gardeners,
and by laborers, by men engaged in vari-
Gus kinds of work, and In homes they
are used in tending the furnace
Canvas gloves and mittens sell at prices
ranging from 10 cents To 25 cents a pair
with few styles running up to IS cents
Those without leather trimmings can be
washed, but they are more likely TO be
| worn till they are thrown away The
railroad engineer, for instance, who fan.
cied canvas gloves, might buy canvas
gauntlets by the dozen pairs at a cos,
of Is cents a pair and put on a fresh
pair every week: the laborer at one work
or another might buy a pair of canvas
gloves for 10 cents and wear them til
| they are worn out,

Saved His Books.

From the Youths Companion.
Farmer Dockridge was hastily awak-
ened in the dead of night by All, the
hired man, who told him the barn was on
fire. Instructing ALI to bindfold the
horses and lead them out through the
back door, II there was time enough. he
hurriedly donned his trousers, rushed into
the summer kitchen, grabbed up a screw
driver and ran out to the barn. The roof
was burning fiercely, but he dashed into
the building and began with frantic haste
TO unscrew the hinges of the smooth pine
door that opened into the corn-bin. ALI
had succeeded in getting the horses out
safely, and the sparks were falling
round the old man; but he stuck to his
task until he finished It, and emerged
from the horning barn, carrying the door,
lust as the roof fell in. That's good
deal of a risk to take for the sake of saw
ing a bit of kindling wood" commented a
neighbor who had been awakened by the
flames, and had run over to see II he
could be of any use. "Kinding wood!"
exclaimed Farmer Dockridge, pointing to
the pencil marks that covered the door.
See them figgers? There's all my busi-
ness accounts fer the last six years. That
doors wuth more than the hull barn!'

Rich New York Woman
Rewards Early Kindness
With Generosity.

Plymouth, Mass, Special For cup
of coffee which she once gave to a
stranger, Mrs. Harvey Bartlett, of We'll
Kingsley, has received $1,000. The gift
is from Mrs. B. Lilley, New York city.
Many years ago while waiting for a
train at the Kneeland street station OF
the old Colony railroad Mrs. Bartlett's
sympathy was aroused by the sight OF
an elderly woman who was travelling
alone and who appeared to be i'll. Mrs.
Bartlett went to the lunch room and
got a cup of coffee for her. Mrs. Lilley,
as she proved to be, did not forget the
kindness and has since sent Mrs. Bart
lett numerous gifts. The most recent
remembrance is $4,000 worth of stock

HOW BEEcHER GOT EvENs
M ace a Woman Who Slammed a Door
in His Face Wish She Hadn't.

Two preachers not long ago were dis
cussing the men who have been shin
ing lights of the metropolitan pulpits.
and as a matter of course Henry Ward
Beecher led the procession of reminis-
cences.
"Beecher was never a conspicuous
example of a preacher and pastor COM
bined," said one of the men. HE made
the preaching end of the week his
chief concern, and left the flock to be
pastoriZed by his assistants.
But once in while he would de-
eide that he owed II to his parishioners
to make a round of calls. He himself
told me the following story of an in
cident which had occurred on one Of
these expeditions.
He had made out a list of names
had got the addresses from the church
directory-perhaps an old one-and was
taking them in their most convenient
order. This brought him to house in
which, according to his list, lived a
Mrs. b.
TT was a very modest house. and
when Mr.. Beecher rang the bell he had
to wait some time for a response.
When this did come 1t was a very irri-
tated one In the person of a woman,
who was evidently just from the wash
tub.
"Is Mrs. b imp asked Mr..
Beecher in his best manner.
Don't live here!' snapped the wo.
man, and slammed the door in his
face.
"Mr. Beecher waited quietly on the
doorstep until the woman had certain

and to resume her washing. Then he
rang the bell. After a while the door
was again opened by the sudsy female
WHO said she did, exclaimed Mr.
Beecher, and went down the steps and
off up the street.
"'And I'm inclined to think, he

THE trees Of Paris will delight you"
said the travelled man who was seeing OFF
his friend. Every boulevard and ave-

from the hot sun, you walk under them
in a cool green dusk.
THAT hot and dusty city doesn't easily
keep its trees vigorous and fresh. II
must have tree hospitals-great nurseries
where, with all sorts of liquid parasite
killers and all sorts of stimulating fer
tiizers, the rundown urban trees are
built up again.
Continually, in Paris, you see faded
trees being taken up and fresh trees being
put down, and fresh and faded trees alike
in those ambuances which we call trans
planters, drive continually up and down
the sunny streets"

Why Southern Illinois Is Called Egypt


The year 1924 was very wet. Heavy
rains fell frequently. Corn on fiat lands
was total failure. This year the
weevil destroyed the wheat after it was
harvested. The next year, 1925, there
was a remarkable growth Of thistles
on the branch bottoms. The winter of
1830-31 was known as the winter of
deep snow. The snow was OF a depth
of from two and half to three feet
on a level. 1t drifted much and was
very destructive to fruit trees. The
weather was intensely hot. Both in
1881 and 1892 the early frosts so injured
the corn as to entirely render It worth
less for almost any purpose.
During the years between and includ-
ing 1824-32, so nearly corresponding to
the years of famine in the days of
Pharaoh and his ruler, as he made Jo-
seph to be- the people of Illinois, de-
pendent upon the southern part of the
state for so much grain, particularly
corn, that people in remembrance of
the bible story began to call the part
of the state which had been so helpful
in time of need Egypt.
