A SPELLING LESSON.
With a Wise Child's Comment About
the English Language.

The following illustration of a
child's spelling lesson and her apt
conclusion in regard to the orthog,
raphy of the English language is
taken from a New York publication
"Spell toes" said the mother,
who was teaching her little daugh-
ter, seven years old, to spell.
"T-o-z-e," answered the child.
"No, dear, that's not right
Toes spells toes"
"But it sounds like t-o-z-e."
81 know it, but you cannot 60 by
che sound"
Then in order to enforce the
proposition the mother called upon
her daughter to spell froze.
"F-r-o-e-s," said the child.
"No. You're wrong again. This
time we do use the e and spell the
word f-r-o-z-e."
"Huh!" exclaimed the child.
"Now spell ~rose," said the moth.
er.
The child hesitated. Finally she
said, 81 don't know whether to say
r-o-z-e or r-o-e-s.'
"Spell it r-o-s-e," said the moth
er, Though there is another wore
pronounced just like it that's spell
ed r-o-e-s. That word is the name
of the spawn of fshes.'
The child looked p%erplexed.
Gust one word more," said the
mother. "Tell me how you spell
blows"
"Well," said the little girl, who
had had quite enough nonsense, al
she viewed it, from her mother an(
had suddenly made up her mind t.
pay back in kind, 81 spell it three
ways. l spell it b-l-o-s-e for break
fast, b-l-o-e-s for dinner AM
b-l-o-z-e for supper"
81 spell it blows" said tn
mother.
The child was silent for a minute
as if wrapped in thought. Then
looking up, she solemnly remarked

language was made for persons very

He Cut Il Short.

It was growing very late, but the
young man in the parlor scene show
ed no signs of making a home run.
"You evidently have a very vivid
imagination, Mr.. Borem," said the
dear girl as she made an unsuccess-
full attempt to strangle, a yawn.
"Why do you think so?" queried
the unsuspecting Borem.

yourself in the arctic regions, where

SPRAINS AND DISLOCATIONS,
How They Can Be Treated ut Home BY
Simple Methods.

How They Can Be Treated at Home BY
Simple Methods.
Sprains are by no means to be re-
garded lightly. The medical profession
considers a severe sprain to be worse
than a broken bone, for the bone ma
terial will grow together more readily
than a sprained ankle will regain its
normal usefulness. The ligamentS
have been severely twisted and stretch
ed in a sprain, and it is hard to reach
them for treatment.
The best and most soothing treat
ment has proved to be hot water. II
possible place the injured joint in wa
ter as hot as can be borne and keep it
hot by adding hot water to 1t continu-
ally, says the London Mail. Then
wrap 1t in cotton wool and bandaSe it
firmly SO as to prevent any movement
Of the joint, for rest is n of the es-
sentials in the treatment Of sprains, so
as to give the stretched ligaments a
chance to get back to their normal con-
dition. To ecure perfect rest to a
sprained ankle n wrist 1t is necessary
" put SllA SplIuls IOuNA IL.
II the regular splints are not avail
able, use anything, like stiff cardboard.
or break up a cigar box into narrow
strips about an inch wide. place these
over all the cotton bandaging after the
Joint has been in hot water for about
an hour. bind them firmly with a mus
lin bandage and leave them SO indefi-
nitely.
1t takes several weeks, sometimes as
many as six weeks. for q sprain to re-
cover. 1t is best to have the joint ele-
waited. If it Is an ankle that Is injured.
the person should have that foot on a
stool when sitting and use crutches
when walking, for unless a sprain
heals properly at first there will al
ways be more or less trouble with it.
A dislocation demands immediate at
tention. as the joint dislocated should
be replaced Immediately into its sock.
ct before the lubricating fluid. which is
in all joints, becomes dry and the liga-
ments themselves stretched beyond
their usual distance. Most d~islocations
are best left until medical aid can be
obtained. If this Is possible. but cool
cloths should be placed on the part to
prevent its becoming feverish. Have a
basin Of cold water near. with several
cloths in 1t. Wiring the water out
quickly so that it will not drip and
apply first one then another cloth to
the dislocation.
In all accidents try to maintain cool.
ness, keep up the courage Of the pa.
tent and do not show too much sym
pathy. as it Ter the sufferer and
makes him think it is worse than it is.
BY keeping a cool head you can do
more than II you go into Mysteries OF
weep or stand up and wiring your
hands in a helpless way, and by doing
these foolish things you will inevitably
make matters worse.

How to Fit Shoes For Comfort.

People would find less difficulty with
ready made shoes. says an experienced
salesman, If they would stand up to
fit them on instead Of sitting down.
Nine persons out Of ten, particularly
women, want a comfortable chair
while they are fitting a shoe. and it is
with the greatest difficulty that you
can get them to stand for a few min
utes, even when the shoe is fitted.
Then when they begin walking about
they wonder why the shoes are not
so comfortable as they were at the
first trial. A woman's foot is con-
siderably smaller when she sits in a
chair than when she walks about.

A CIRCULAR aQQreSSeu W
lican voters, but supposed to be
only sent to the friends OF Gov
nor Crawford, is at hand as com
ing from the "Republican State
Primary League" of which K.
o. Richards of Huron is presl'
dent and George Xix is the mem
Der of the executive committee
from Grant county. The CIR
cular denounces Senator Kilt
redge and upholds Governor
Crawford as a great reformer,
and seeks to give advice to the
Progressive" republicans, urg'
them to e that there be only
one candidate for an office.
Among the resolutions in the cir
cular is one condem ming the ap'
pointing of the delegates by the
county committee, and as this is
just what the insurgent"bosses
tried to do in this county, we
quote the resolution in full:
Resolved further, that in answer to
the often suggested saving OF expense
OF the cost Of the primaries by ap.
pointing delegates by the County cen
trail committee to save the expense OF
holding a primary to let all the peo-
ME vote who desire to do 30. We
emphatically declare against the prac-
tice where there is q division OF SEN
timent. az is the case in this state at
this time between the progress1ves n
reactionaries, and that we would no
more think of abolishing our circuit
and supreme courts for the sake o.
saving to the state the expense OF
maintaining them than to violate the
intent of having the people vote and
preserve the purity of the ballot and a
square count, as that is the future
hope and progress OF this nation.
Honor, virtue and purity OF the bal,
lot can and should not be measured
in dollars and cents.
Now the very thing which
this resolution condemns was
attempted bv Messrs. Xix and
Smull on behalf of the insur.
gents at the meeting OF the
Grant county central committee,
and the insurgent organ has
been bowling ever since the
meeting because they we're un'
able to accomplish what they at
tempted. So determined were
they to avoid the primary that
they offered to divide the delega
ton with the stalwarts and even
to endors e the Taft candiday.
Itlooks a good deal like double
dealing somewhere. Here is
what is practically the insurgent
state central committee sending
GU, a circular denouncing the ap
pointing of delegates by the
county committee, and declaring
that .'honor, virtue and purity Of
the ballot cannot and should moi
be measured in dollars and
cents And on the other hand
are the insurgent bosses IN this
county, one of whom. Mr.. Xix
a member of this state commit
tee, is presenting a set OF resolu'
tions to takethe matter out OF the
hands of the republican voters
of the county, and let the bosses
name the delegates. The only
reason offered for this being the
expense of holding a primary.
