The only business the local leaf tobac-
CO dealers are now doing is that received
from the local cigar manufacturers. Ii
it was not for this trade the packers
might just as we'll close their offices until
business generally braces up. While the
cigar manufacturers are hurrahing over
the business they are doing, still most of
them are managing to keep their factor
les going, while hoping for better things
ahead. Nobody expects boom now, be-
cause this is not the season for booms,
but all are optimistic, and believe the fall
trade will be brisk.
The 1907 tobacco appears to be coming
along all right, and those who have nice
sized holdings say they are sure they
have good thing.
The new crop Is doing finely, growing

Child Mangled by Mower.

A shocking accident befell the 315-
year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs. E |
Hamre of Keyser Thursday morning,
when the child had its feet terribly man
gled in moving machine.
The father was cutting hay with the
mower not far from the house, and the
little one who had strayed away from
the house, evidently on her way to her
father in the field, could not be seen in
the tall grass until to his horror she had
been hit by the sickle bar. The unfor-
tunate child was picked up and carried
to the house, and being unable to sum-
mon the doctor by telephone, the dis
tracted parents had to bring their little
one on the tedious ride to this village
One Of its little feet yrs nearly sew
cred at the instep and the flesh on the
heel was literally ground and gouged
out The tendons or the other foot
were also cut, but amputation will not
be necessary with chat one. The other
foot is in terrible condition and amputa-
tion may be necessary. The physicians
are doing all that is possible to save the
foot, and though the child will always
be crippled, it will be better than no foot
at all.-Sun Prairie Countryman.

Between Supper and Breakfast.

Many persons, says well known
doctor, though not actually sick, keep
below par in strength and general
tone, and he is of the opinion that
fasting during the long interval be-
tween supper and breakfast, and espe-
cially the complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep, adds greatly to
the amount of emaciation, sleepless-
ness and general weakness we so often
meet. 1t is logical to believe that the
supply of nourishment should be some
what continuous, especially in those
who are below par, if we would coun-
teract their emaciation and lower de-
gree of vitality, and as bodily exer-
else is suspended during sleep, with
wear and tear correspondingly dimin-
ished, while digestion assimilation and
nutritive activity continue as usual,
the food furnished during this period
adds more than is destroyed, and in
creased weight and improved general
vigor are the results.-London Globe.
