The people on the Isthmus of
Panama are the only people on
the two American continents that
can see the sun rise in the Pacific
Ocean and set in the Atlantic.
That, you see, completely re-
verses the order OF thinrs. for
the Pacific is west and "a At
lantio is east, and it seems strange
TO us that the sun should rise
whore We think il should set.
But II you viii look az a good
map you will see that the waters
Of the Panama Bay, which is
part of the Pacific, are east OF the
Caribbean Sea, which is a part Of
the Atlantic, is west This is
true, however, only when the sun
is at It's greatest southern de
clinatiOn. The fact is a curious
one and is worth remembering,

James Berry lost a jack in
rather peculiar manner, says the
Middletown Chips. In his
breeding barn he had two of
these animals in adjoining apart
ments, and, it has always been
their one burning desire TO get
g. each other and have a finish
fight. Between the solid box
stalls Of the jacks there was an
open hole about one foot square
nine feet from the ground. On
the night named, in a desperate
effort to get TO its opponent, one
one of the jacks jumped up thrust
its head through this hole. It's
nose caught against the upper
part and its jaw the lower, and
there it was found dangling the
next morning, its hind feet a
foot or more from the ground,
and as dead as a mackerel and a
doornail both combined. The
animal was valued at 500, and is
quite a loss 10 Mr.. Berry. The
jack war-like the war Of ballots

DEAL?

That's the squarest kind of a
square deal as every fair minded
man knows.
But L. M. Wood can afford to
make this offer because he knows
that Mona tablets are a worthy
stomach remedy, and that the max
ers will back up the generous offer.
And so we say to all readers

ailing with any stomach, try MILO
ma. 1t has such a mighty and pow
erful influence on the stomach that
it Immediately refreshes and re-
lieves, then invigorates and cures.
1t strengthens the stomach walls,
puts the stomach in such perfect
condition that it can digest food
without pain or other distressing
symptoms. 1t cures by removing
the cause, and it removes the cause

A large box of Mona tablets
only costs so cents, and relief will

A Bachelors Reflections.

Some people act ridiculous and
then become indignant because
people tell it.
A duty to be done is stern re-
hinder, but a duty done well is a
pleasant remembrance.
Honesty is boomerang and its
policy never looks better to us than
when it comes back again to our
own feet.
Dress is said to be a woman's
strongest weapon. Does that mean
there is dagger hidden in every
sheath gown?
The man in the motor car would
have more respect for the pedes-
trian if he stopped to think how
the airship man, in turn, looks
down on him.
A paraSoi, though invented to
keep the sun off, generally man
ages to induce some son to come
nearer.
| He who reads will run against
many clever sayings, but he who
runs will never read them.
The recollection of a good act
may give Us a swollen head, but
the knowledge of a mean one is as
a shoe that pinches.
Did you ever lay out a big day:
work
And then have friends
With odds and ends
Take up your time and make vol
shirk
That work?

The campaign is over, the officers

were nominated and some of them
went down in defeat, After the

the ticket and supported. We have
no apologies to make for our course.

Letter Found In a Bottle.

While digging up the old founda-
ton of the Peyion property prepar-
ing for the laying of a foundation
Of the baptistry for the new Chris
tan church on the South Side,
Bert Coy, working for Smith 6,
Ertle, came across a yellow bottle
containing letter. The letter was
sealed, but when broken open dis
played a musty paper which, upon
reading, proved to be a letter plac-
ed in the foundation by the builder.
The manuscript contains some in
teresting facts and historical data
about the first worship house in
Hannibal. The builders of the
new church want the letter placed
in the corner stone OF the new
church when it is laid.
The Letter.
This article is written and
placed in this foundation to give
information to whomSoever may
find it in after years. The two
back rooms of this house have
been standing many years (about
SO years) The oak portion of
them was for many years a portion
of building used as a church and
school house, being the only place
of worship in the city, and was sit
uated in the public square, now
known as the park North Hanni-
bal. The oak pieces referred to
were gotten in the neighborhood of
Scipio, and were heWn out and
worked entirely by hand, no ma
chinery being used. 1t was pur-
chased by j. N. Peyton and remov-
ed and built about the year
1848 and has been occupied by
himself and family ever since.
In the summer of 1889 Mr.. and
Mrs. j. N. Peyton built a new and
front part, containing two rooms
down stairs and three up, where
hey hope to continue to reside for
many years to come.

The Mahin Messenger very neat
ly phrases one of the secrets of sue

that there must be something in
every advertisement that is COM
pensation to the reader for the time
consumed in reading it." The one
sided lad" the lad" that aims sole
ly at profit for the seller, leaving
out of consideration the fact that
the buyer reads advertising for the
sake of the dividend it pays him -
is likely to prove a frost" in the
best of mediums. Get on the right
side of the consumer by showing
him that the advantages to be de-

Poo School Marin.

See thai weary, tired look on the
face of the school marin? 1t means
that the sparkling season in Cen
tralia is in full blast and kids from
twelve Yeas ~ are doing so much
spooning that it sadly interferes
with school, duties. Before school
at recess, at noon, after school the
love-lorn la3sies pair off and spark
like grown NJ folks. It's just "aw-
full but what is the poor teacher to
do? She cant spank the little
chaps for walking home together
and playing hands" on the way.
It's not a whipping offenSe to look
at your sweetheart like a sick kit
ten. And yet the girl-struck juve-
niles and boy struck infants do so
much counting" these days that it
nearly drives the conscientious
teacher crazy. Lads who can
scarcely look over a table wear ties
long enough for a jumping-rope
and their coats the hottest days.
What does it mean they have a
girl. Little girlieS, hardly large
enough to play with a doll, quit
playing games to entertain their
fellows. It's enough to make a
government mule throw uD, but
what are we going to do about it?

The Laws of the Territory" is
the title of the oldest book printed
west of the Mississippi River, now
in the possession of the Law Libra
ry of the University of Missouri.
The book was published in 1903, by
Joseph CharleSe, of St. Louis, the
official printer of the Louisiana
Territory, The book is in an excel
lent state of preservation and con-
tains a number of laws that are
now obsolete. At the end of the
first law in the volume is the fol-
lowing extract In testimony
whereof, we, William Henry Harri-
son, governor, and Thomas T. Davis,
Henry Wander Burgh, and John
Griffin, judges in and over the In

Dyspeptic Philosophy.

The greatest compliment an
egotist can confer is to say: Il
agree with you"
1t is seldom the lightweight who
rises to the top.
The buster a man is the less
time he has to think about being
overworked.
The pessimist seems to get a lot
of fun out of being miserable.
There is quite a difference be-
tween delivering the goods and be-
ing caught with them.
Queer thing about debt. The
faster we run in the more we get
behind.
A man never fully realizes the
value of a closet until he acquires
a family skeleton.
A girl will forgive you for think
ing she has no brains if you only
think she is pretty.
We love some men for the enc
mics they have made. In fact, we
would never have heard of them
otherwise.
1t takes two to make a quarrel
in spite of the fact that we always
feel it's the other fellow who
made it.
To love our enemies doesn't give
us the privilege of being disagreed
