Character Molds the Face

1t is not in words exlaicable with
what divine lines and lights the ex-
ercise of godliness and charity will
mold and gild the hardest and cold
est countenance, neither to what
darkness their departure will con-
sign the loveliest. For there is not
any virtue the exercise of which,
even mOmentarily, will not impress
a new fairness upon the features;
neither on them only, but on the
whole body the moral and intellec-
tual faculties have operation, for all
the movements and gestures, how
ever slight, are different in their
modes according to the mind that
governs them and on the gentle
ness and decision of right feeling
follows grace of action, and, through
continuance Of this, grace Of form

Sings His Way to Victory.

E. Murry Sandusky, the blind
candidate for the Democratic NOM
inatiOn for county treasurer of Ma
con county sang his way into the
hearts of the voters.
Returns show that he was nomi-
mated over three veteran campaign
erS by a plurality of 800, the larg-
est given any candidate. in that
county.
Sandusky did not attempt
speech making, but relied almost
on singing in his canvass of the
county, His voice is remarkable
for its sweetness of tone. Quaint,
old-fashioned ballads, sung from the
stump, proved a welcome diversion
to his hearers after the regulation
campaign oratory of the other can
didateS. Moberly Democrat.

How Diamonds Burn.

The jeweler, at closing time, was
putting his diamonds in a huge safe.
But why do you bother to do that
when two watchman walk the shop
all nieht?"
"On account of fire." the jeweler
replied. Diamonds are nothing
but coal carbon they burn beau
tifully. Their hardness makes us
think them indistructible, but as a
matter of fact, a fire of diamonds
would be the briskest, prettiest
thing in the world.
Put a handful of diamonds on a
plate and set light to them. They
will burn with a hard, geInlike
flame till nothing is left. There
will be no smoke, no SCOT, and at
the end the plate will be as clean
as though just washed mot the
slightest particle of ash will re-

Appendicitis From GRANTEES.

New York, Aug. 9. Doctor Will
liam B. Wilkinson, an eminent ply
sician and surgeon Of Staten Island,
declares that two-thirds OF the cases
of appendicitis in this country are
due to the cooking utensils.
Twenty year ago" said Doctor
Wilkinson, when food was cooked
in copper utensils, there were scar
cely any cases of appendicitis re-
ported. Since the copper utensils
have gone out of style, and agate
ware used in its place, hundreds OF
cases of the malady are reported
weekly. The chips from the new
ware start the trouble
u am positive, without a doubt
il the ag1teware, was discarded and
the copper utensils were restored
the percentage of appendicitis cases
would bematerially decreased"

Monroe's second annual Chautauqua.
AS an evidence of the appreciation
of such a meeting 1926 tickets for a
Chautauqua next year were sub
scribed for before the close of this
one. At the beginning of this meet
ing only 200 tickets were subscribed
for the session just closed. The de-
ficit of this one is only SIS to $1O0|
which will be made up by the 120
citizens who guaranteed the ex-
penses. Had the weather been fav-
orable the last day it would have
easily paid out.
The Apollo Quartet and Bell
Ringers greatly pleased our people
and will be sure of an audience at
any time in this city
The Chicago Lyceum Ladies Quar-
tet furnished much pleasing music,
and the readings of Mrs. Palmer
captivated the audience.
Bowden's Hiawatha moving pic
ture show together with an intense
ly interesting lecture on the Hia-
watha legend was one of the at
fractions which pleased all. It was
worth seeing and hearing.
II. V. Adams is of that class o
lecturers who benefits, elevates and
pleases his audience.
In James Francis O'Donnell many
were disappointed, but he is an art
ist in his line. His portrayal Of the
many characters was good.
Gabriel Mcguire fully pleased the
people with his description of his
trip in the wilds of Africa. He
told much of the customs of that
benighted country and told it in a
way the people could understand
and appreciate.
Geo. w. Balm delivered the most
Oratorical lecture in the course. 1t
discussed questions of grave impor-
tance to our country. He had his
audience with him during his en-
tire lecture.
For Sunday evening the elements
furnished an entertainment quite
different to that arranged for by the
Chautauqua people. Ross Crane
the Cartoonist, was on the program
but did not furnish the entertain
ment. After the audience had as.
sembled the Chicago Lyceum Ladies
Quartet was to entertain for a short
time, and it was for a short time
only, as a heavy rain came and the
tent turned all the water right
through on the people. Umbrellas
went up, people were standing
around with chairs over head tc
keep of the rain, but very few es.
capped getting completely soaked
Much amusement but entirely diff
ferent to what was expected. Some
party in order to keep dry took Mr.
Cranes coat. Now that it is al
over will the party please return
coat to L. M. Woods drug store anC
he will forward it to Mr.. Crane.
There is no reason why Monro,
City should not hold a Chautauqui
every year if managed as it shoult
be. Make it attractive to all peo
pie Furnish good, wholesome, in
structive entertainment.

No one appreciates more fully
the work of newspapers than Sam
Newhouse, who has made as much
money out of mining and who has
interested as much capital in the
mining industry as any man in the
country. Speaking of the invalua-
BILE work of newspapers and the
efforts they exert to advance one
of the chief industries of the west,
Mr.. Newhouse says:
II would suggest to the NINE
owners and others interested, give
to the newspapers their earnest
and vigorous support, for it is the
newspaper of a mining camp,which
more than anything else, gives the
mining camp its reputation. I
have brought into Salt Lake, di-
rectly and indirectly, s15,OOO,0OO,
and the success of my efforts was
due in no small degree to tie back
ing which I received from the Salt
Lake newspapers"
