When splinter has been driven deep
into the hand, 1t can be extracted without
pain by steam. Nearly fill a wite-
mouthed bottle with hot water, place the
injured part over the mouth of the bottle,
and press tightly. The suction will draw
the flesh down, and in a minute or two
the steam will extricate the splinter and
the inflammation will disappear.

If you think you're wise and we'll
informed, says an exchange, just see if
you can answer these questions: You
have seen hundreds of white horses, why
do you never see white colt? Why does
horse eat grass backwards and a cow
forward? why does hop vine twine to
the lett and bean vine to the right?
Why does horse staked out to a rope
unwind it while cow winds it up into
hard kinks? Why does horse get up ON
his front feet and a COW on her hind feet?
Halloween occurs next Saturday,
the last night of the month This wiered
festivel is becoming one of the most not
able in the calendar in the larger cities,
and the approaching occasion will per-
baps be no exception to the rule. Less
vandalism is practiced than in years past,
and the night is given over to real merry
max ing, which is much more rational
and sensible. There's real sport in the
modern halloween, and we hope young
and old alike will enjoy the approaching
event.
Fire in the woods back of Dawson
station, Wednesday afternoon, spread
very rapidly and required hard and per-
slstent work by large force of men all
night and far into the next day to pre-
vent damage to valuable property.
Back firing alone saved the property on
the Baird and other leases in that section.
Several thousand acres of woods land
were bnrned over and the wonder is that
more damage was not done, the area COW
cred being from the river hill back be-
yond the Fogle farm, and from Dawson
run north to the Hickory road. The fall
len leaves in the woods are dry as tinder
and flare up like gasolene when ignited.
"A serial story that promises remai k
ably well begins in the November num-

Hearts Insurgent, and the author is Grace
MacGowan Cooke, whose name alone
guarantees excellence. Beside this there
is quantity of short fiction by Harriet
Rowland, Catalina Paez, Bessie r. Hoov-

interesting. The special articles on The
Holy Land, The Boy and His Parents,
and What Women Can Do to Earn Money

are several pages of suggestions for

An exchange gets right down to the
truth of an important subject when it
says: Newspapers are blamed for lot
of things they cannot help, such as using
partiality in mentioning visitors, giving
news about some people, leaving others
out, etc. We simply publish the news
we find. Some people inform us of such
news, others do not. An editor should
not be expected to know the name and
residence of all your uncles, aunts and
cousins even if he does see them get on
and off the train. Tell us about it. It's
news that makes the paper, and every
man, woman aud child can sometimes
furnish news. Tell us. If we have no
news about you this issue, who is to
blame?
Rev. D. A. Plat of Franklin, Rev.
w. o. Calhoun of Tionesta, and E. L.
DeWoody of Golinza, while hunting rab-
bits on Hall Ridge, above Nebraska, last
