Table Manners In Old France,

Could we restore for half an hour the
dinner table Of old France and obtain
half a dozen instantaneous photo
graphs Of royal banquet at any era
between the reigns Of Francis I and
Louis Quatorze such cataract Of
laughter would be heard as might
disturb the serenity Of Louis in para
disc. The duchess, her napkin tied Sc
curely round her neck, would be seen
mumbling a bone, the noble marquis
surreptitiously scratching himself, the
belle marquise, withdrawing her spoon
from her lips to help neighbor to
sauce with it, another fair creature
securing her plate with her bread, a
gallant courtier using his doublet or
the tablecloth as towel for his fin
gers and two footmen holding a yard
of damask under lady's chin while
she emptied her goblet at draft. Dur
ing a feast Of tnordinate length it was
sometimes necessary to substitute a
clean cloth for the one which the care
lessness or bad manners of the guests
had reduced to deplorable condition.

The Midget Snakes.

II see by your paper" says a CORE.
spondent, that you want to find man
who can tell a snake story with the
sound Of originality to it. Here it is:
Nearly forty years ago in the woods Of
Indiana I captured three snakes, each
less than three and one-fourth inches
in length, combined length Of less
than ten inches, a little longer and a
little larger in the middle than an old
fashioned wool darning needle. Al
though these snakes were 80 small they
would crawl around with their heads
up and dart out their tongues like
larger snakes, I put these reptiles in
an eight ounce bottle, and they had
plenty Of room to crawl around on the
bottom Of it without crowding. These
were not the kind Of snakes generally
seen in bottles, but genuine snakes,
Among those who saw them was q
minister of the gospel, and he had not
been taking anything to make him see
snakes either."-Emporia Gazette.

The Mules DeIusion.

The pack mule is quite as much an
institution as the team mule and Is
absolutely Indispensable In the noun
tains. Mule packing Is fine art, and
with well trained animal and skill
full packer you can safely transport
anything from piano to a bag Of oats.
When the packer has finished his job
in an artistic manner, the animal may
buck or back, kick or rear or roll, but
he cannot rid himself of his burden,
and he finally gives it up in despair.
After two or three experiences he will
submit to his destiny and fall into line
with the rest of the train every morn.
Ing to receive his load from the pack
er. A well trained pack mule Is at
ways proud Of his load, and If by any
means it gets loose he will step quietly
out Of line and wait until the pack
master comes along to tighten 1t.
The most serious objection to the
mule, which you sometimes find in hui
man beings also, is-the delusion that
he can sing. One who has never heard
a mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-
tent Of his mistake; but, like every
thing else about mule, his song is
strictly original. It belongs to no other
animal. No one can describe and no
one can initiate it.-New York Mail.

Elinty Plant Covers.

When Sir Humphry Davy was a boy
about sixteen, a little girl came to him
in great excitement:
"Humphry, do tell me my these two
pieces Of cane make tiny spark Of
light when I rub them together
Humphrey was a studious boy, who
spent hours in thinking out scientific
problems. He patted the child's curly
head and said: Il
+ II do not know, dear. Let us see If
they really do make a light and then
we will try to find out why"
Humphry soon found that the little
girl was right. The pieces Of cane if
rubbed together quickly did give a
tiny light. Then he set to work to find
out the reason, and after some time,
thanks to the observing powers Of his
little friend and his own kindness to
her in not impatiently telling her not
to worry" as so many might have
done, Humphry Davy made the first
of his interesting discoveries. Every
reed, cane and grass has an outer skin
Of finty stuff, which protects the in
side from insects and also helps the
frail looking leaves to stand upright.

GIUSEPPE ALA EXECUTED
Pays Penalty for Assassination of
Denver Priest.

rays Fenalty TOR ASSASSINATION OF
Denver Priest.
Canyon City, Colo, July 1i.-Calling
down maledicttions upon the Roman
priesthood and shouting in Italian
Long live Italy! Long live the Prot
estants!" Giuseppe Ala, the murderer
of Father Leo. Heinrichs of Denver,
was carried to the death trap at the
state penitentiary here and paid the
extreme penalty Of his crime.
When supper was served to the
prisoner he divided it. into five por-
lions, saying that one was for his
wife, one for himself and one each
for his three children. He then ate
with apparent composure and relish.
ALA then said he was ready to die
at any time. He further said he felt
no sorrow whatever for having killed
Father Leo. He was certain that
Father Leo was the man he had been
searching for for many months and
that he had recognized the priest by
a scar on the side of his face.
When Ala was placed upon the trap
Chaplain Blake of the prison uttered
a short prayer, the dripping water of
the automatic mechanism released the
great weight and the body was jerked
into the air. Unfortunately Alias
neck was not broken, owing to the
slipping of the rope, and he died of
strangulation. After nineteen min
utes Alias body was cut down and he
was pronounced dead.
The body of ALA was buried in a
crude coffin in the prison cemetery on
the mountainside near the entrance of
the Royal gorge.

r z WRIGHT of Park Rand

B. F. Wright of Park Rapids,
candidate for district judge of the
fifteenth judicial district, is rapidly
gaining ground. His candidacy is
meeting the approval of the majority
of the residents of the district. Mr..
Wright is one of the oldest residents
of this section of the state and where
ever known it is to his credit. Hav-
ing practiced law at Park Rapids
for great many years he is termed
the pioneer attorney of the district.
Mr.. Wright has been a man of good
judgment, a good counsellor and his
dealings with his clients has been
such that they are among the most
enthusiastic workers he has working
for his nomination. His unanimous
endorsement by the Hubbard county
bar shows the high esteem which the
attorneys of that district hold of
their favorite candidate.

The Pirates.

The Chicago News fails to name the
hero Of this story, but has it that the
visitor to the home Of a well known
Hoosier State author found his three
youngsters romping in the hallway.
"What are you playing, boys7' he
inquired.
eve are playing pirates," elucidated
the smallest.
"Pirates? Why, how can you play
pirates in Indiana? There are no seas
bordering on this state"
"Oh, we don't need any seas. We
are literary pirates, like pa"
And five minutes later a chorus of
yells from behind the barn told that
the hand that Yields the pen can also
WELD the single.

Mixed Pickles.

Bishop Knox once explained that
"Mr. McKenna's sword was an over
loaded pistol which, being hung up in
a tight corner lest it should burst, pre-
tended to be dead until it got up ana
rotted home on the friendly back of
the bishop Of st. Asaph." But it is in
political debate, especially in the house
of commons, that the mixed metaphor
fourishes most luxuriantly. "The flood
gates of irreligion and intemperance
are stalking arm In arm throughout
the land" ''This bill effects such
change that the last leap in the dark
was mere flea bite" '"That is the
marrow of the educational act, and it
will not be taken out by DR.. Clifford or
anybody else. It is founded on gran
tie foundation and speaks in a voice
not to be drowned in sectarian clam
Or" '"The question Of moisture in to-
bacco is thorny subject and has long
been a bone Of contention" -Manches-

Bathing a Prince,


George ". while prince and residing
In his Brighton palace kept in his bed

bathing woman who used to dip him
into the sea when he was the little

bathing the little fellow. Beneath the
picture was this stanza:

A Queer Practice.

A queer practice which is general
throughout all the tribes of Australia
Is the r1bbing Of the skin. When the
children are still young long cuts are
made across the chest, down the up
per arm and leg and even across the
back and ribs. While the wound is
quite fresh the cut Is opened and
mixture Of mud is grated In, the
skin being pulled as far as possible
over it. The skin eventually grows
completely round the mud filling and
forms ridges varying in length and size
from an ordinary lead pencil to the
thickness Of a mans little finger and
extending from armpit to armpit. I
am Informed that while the healing
process is going on the pain is ex-
quisite, but the result seems to satisfy
all parties concerned.-London Stand:

sUBsCRlPTIoN.--s5.OO PER ANNuM
The AGENCY OF THE LOCAL PAPER.

If the retailer would make for
himself a business which cannot be
damaged by the efforts of the mail
order houses, he must give all the
thought he possibly can to his adver-
Using.
Many merchants are today failing
to take advantage of the opportun-
ity to reach the readers of the local
papers. The ad must say things,
and say them in way to draw
people to the store. A description
and attractive price acts as sug-
ton, creates the desire, and the
goods are turned into cash. The
customer might come into the store
a hundred times and not know that
you handled the goods wanted, but
the ad tells what you have and
creates the demand.
Do not imagine, however, that
you can begin advertising and at
once increase your business from rs
to so per cent. That would be
unreasonable. You must keep
everlastingly at it, if you would get
the best results. Start in on your
advertising with the determination
to make each ad better reading and
of more value to the reader than the
same space in the news columns
would be, and then determine to
keep up the good work every day of
your life, and it will not be long
before you will see what advertising
will do in the way of increasing
business for you.-Commercial Bulle-
