lage blacksmith, a man not brought up
to ornamental work naturally, but,
nevertheless, who was blessed with in
telligent possibilities, and Mrs. AMes-
Lyde was also fortunate enough to OBJ
tain the services and cooperation of
Mr.. Elsum, the village school-master.
who had a taste for drawing-and
much practical sense and knowledge.
To start this evening class fifty, Mrs.
Ames-Lyde sent to London for a teach
er from the Home Arts, who gave
some lessons to these pupils in the
Italian bent work. The workers soon
got beyond the restricted form of the
craft and launched forth into the freer
and more artistic iron work done with
the forge. 1t so happened that the
first order of any kind received at the
Thornham Iron Works was a royal
one, and this at the very beginning of
its career! The agent at Sandring-
ham telegraphed an order for a lamp,
which must be executed within a GER
tain time. So Mrs. Ames-Lyde imme-
diately sat down in the blacksmith's
shop, got out a design, and the lamp
was made by her workers within the
appointed time in the little cottage
with one forge, where all the first
work was turned out. Since then the
iron workers have been flooded with
orders not only from the royal family
and of the nobility of England, but
abroad.
The royal family at Sandringham
takes a great personal interest in the
work, and similar establishments are
likely to crop up in various parts of
England as a result of the amount of
notice the Thornham undertaking has
received. The new garden gates of
the kitchen garden at Sandringham
We're made at Thornham, and the king
has also several lamps from there,
both for indoor and outdoor use. Queen
Victoria was presented by the prin-
cess of Wales, then duchess of York,
with lamps now at Balmoral. At York
Cottage are lamps belonging to the
PI llSCoS VI NulCo. SdSGlllcIIS anu
lamps were made for Princess Charles
of Denmark's house near Sandringham
and Sir Dighton Probyn at Park
House, Sandringham, is the owner of
another lamp.
Some of the best productions of the
shop are the old world grills to place
in garden walls, to give glimpses of
charming views like a framed pic
ture.

Dose of His Own Medicine.

The biggest man in the navy is a
surgeon-in-chief, six feet five inches.
He is now with the feet, and is a
great entertainer. Here is one of his
anecdotes:
One of the younger cranks in the
service discovered much virtue in sea
water, and no matter what disease
came on his first action was to throw
down the patients throat a large dose
of the nauseating liquid. The crew
o learned to hate him thoroughly.
In process of time he fell overheard
in a choppy sea, and a great hustle en-
sued. In the midst of it the captain
came up and anxiously inquired the
cause. "Oh, nothing, sir" replied a
tar; 'only the doctor has fell into his
medicine chest!"-New York Press.

PERUNA NO.. /.

DR.. Hartman lis now Offering Peruna to the public asa regular pharmaceu-
tcal product It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical
profession. No straining Of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the
label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification.
The only departure we shall mako from medical ethics in the conduct OF
Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO TIE PEOPLE.
If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna Is being
entirely within their approval
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to
convey to the people our claims for Peruna as household remedy. We shall
continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use
our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things
Of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical
profession like it or not.
We are proposing from this time on to take the public into ur confidence.
Notwithstanding that some imitators and substtutors will be attempting to
put up something which they consider justa good as Peruna, we are going to

vestigation of all the evidence drew
the design which has been realized in
the building as it stands to-day. 1t is
now supposed to look as it appeared
when Washington visited it, and all of
the bricks and timbers remaining of
the building which was known as
Frances Tavern are still in the
places they then occupied.
The restoration is based on an ad-
vertisement printed in 1775 in which
Frances offered his inn for sale and
described it as ~"three-stories high
with a tile and lead roof, has IA fire
places, a most excellent large kitchen,
fine dry cellars, with good and con-
venient offices, etc" The earliest pic
ture of it is dated 1854. This showed
the building as it appeared after it's

year it was again visited by fire. This
time the Long Room was burned

side above the second story fell out

WASHINGTON AN ATHLETE.
The Father" Would Play Football lf

He was an athlete. George Washing
ton, we mean. If he were alive to-
day he would in all probability be a
college boy, and if he went to college
there is not a particle of doubt but he
would scramble for a place on the
baseball and football teams.
He was fond of all athletic sports
and games, and 1t was very easy for
him to maintain his supremacy in
them. His natural constitution was
good, and regular habits, supple
mented by judicious training and ex-
ercising of his muscles, made him a
foe with whom even the Indians hest
tated to contend in athletic matches.
His superiority in all out,of-door
sports stood often in good stead, and
when he was surveying land for Lord
Fairfax in Virginia he won many
friends among the redskins, among
whom he was then forced to live, by
taking part in all Of their games.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Patronage Of Home Stores Depends
Much Upon the Merchants.

How often do merchants complain
about the farmers and others sending
to distant places for goods, while at
the same time the farmers are forced
by the merchants to send their pro-
duce to some other place while the
merchants ship in the same class of
products that the farmers are send
ing out?
In the home patronage matter there
Is nothing so wholesome as reci-
procity. Do the merchants always
give preference to homegrown pota-
toes, to the products supplied by the
local hens, to the output Of the local
creameries? Do the merchants al
ways show a good example by patron
izing their brother tradesmen? Or
do they at times send to the city for
the clothes they wear; the piano for
their daughter, the wagon they use
in delivering goods, etc.?
There are a lot Of narrow-minded,
short-sighted men in the mercantile
business as well as on the farms.
There is a lot of selfishness in the
average of humanity, and this mani
tests itself now and then in censur-
ing others for doing. that which we
feel justified in doing ourselves.
Many merchants seem to think that
there is only one side to the home
patronage proposition; that it is the
duty of the farmer to buy everything
at home regardless of whether the
merchant buys his flour from the
home mill, or whether he sends away
for the potatoes which he sells, in
stead of buying them from the local
farmers.
Then, again, merchants are as blind
now and then to their own interests
as are the farmers. The merchant
seeks to squeeze the last cent of
profit from the farmer and thereby
loses trade, as well as the farmer
trying to save a few niggardly pen
MES and getting bit" by the distant
maiiorder concern. There is such a
thing as equity, be it understood, and
there is such a thing as compensation.
The merchant who gives the farmers
OF his community a square deal and
shows the proper kind of enterprise is
hardly ever heard complaining about
the mail-order house or the depart
ment stores injuring his trade. But
the merchant who is intent upon play:
ing a dead cinch" game is forever
bowling. The home patronage matter
is mainly up to the merchants of
the small towns. People resid-
ing in the country are pretty fair
minded. They want decent treat.
ment. They like consistency. They
will even pay the live, reliable, honest
merchant a higher price for goods
than they will the distant mail-order
concern or the surething department
store. or the scalliwag merchant who
is always out to beat somebody out of
a few cents.

a jumping match. Whoever jumped
the farthest would win the hand of a
wealthy farmers daughter. The girl
herself was present; so was the min
lister, all ready to marry the maiden
and the successful competitor. A
young farmer named Jonathan had
outdistanced the other young men who
too part and the girl seemed very
we'll satisfied at the result.
At this point Washington asked if
he, too, might be allowed to take par
in the contest. Permission was given.
and he jumped three feet farther than
any OF the others had done.
The girl, not being blessed with the
power of divination, did not guess that
the successful young STRIPPING was the
future father of his country" and
her disappointment was plainly visible
in her face. Washington finally re-
lieved the situation by r~esigning his
claims in favor of Jonathan. Then he
stayed and partook of the wedding
supper.
One cannot but wonder if the girl
lived to know of Washington's ulti.
mate greatness, and If so, if she looked

Too Many Small Towns.

economic laws regulate town build
ing. In a certain locality there can be
too many towns. For a towns exist
ence there must be a certain amount
of trade, a volume of business sufi-
cient to give employment in the
trades and industries to the residents
OF n town. Some people deplore the
fact that conditions are changing so
as to drive some towns out of exist
ence. Many of these places have no
natural right to exist. Perhaps their
geographical location in the district
is not advantageous. Their existence
takes from a better located town a
certain share of the support it should
have. In a farming community where
the population is only sufficient to
support a town of a thousand inhabi-
tants it is foolish to presume that two
towns of a thousand population each
a be properly maintained. In his
message to congress President Roose-
welt expressed his views in these
words: Il believe it is good policy for
government to do everything pos
sible to aid the small town and the
country district; it is desirable that
the country merchant should not be
crushed out This is not mere senti-
ment. 1t is an economic truth. The
interests of the farmer and the Ia
borer are closely intertwined with the
interests of the merchants of the small
town. When one suffers adversely
there is a reflex action upon all other
residents of the community. When
the farmers as a class are prosperous
the merchants and others engaged in
other than farming industries enjoy
this prosperity. The quicker all good
citizens of agricultural districts recog-
nize the true relationship of one to the
other the better it will be for all and
the higher will become our citizen
ship.

How MonopoIies Are As.isted.

During the past few months, mail
order houses located in the large
cities have been making more than
ordinary efforts to gain trade. These
efforts have been stimulated by the
panicky times. Residents of agricul-
tural communities should understand
that concentration of money in large
financial centers was the main cause
of bringing on the financial depression.
They should also understand that the
mail order system is one of the most
potent factors in this concentration;
that this system draws the iife-blood,
the surplus money, from communities
where it is earned, taking It out OF
local circulation and using it to build
up ~monopolies in the large cities.

Where Some Citizens Fail in Duty.

Many who have succeeded upon the
farms remove to the nearby town
to enjoy life, perhaps to give to their
children the advantages that the good
schools of the place afford. 1t Is toe
often the case that these people fail
to become the model town citizens
they should be. While they are desir.
GUS of having all the advantages that
the town has to offer they are adverse
to doing that which means its i'm.
provement and upbuilding. These
classes are the "moss-backs," the ones
who think that they have done their
duty toward themselves and their fel.
low men when they manage to earn
sufficient on the farm so that they can
cease work. 1t may be their priv
ilege to quit labor, but they show a
poor and lowly spirit when they fail
to give the town which they select as
a home place the support it should
have from one Of its citizens.
