More steel is now used in the
manufacture Of pens than in that of
swords. 1t Is even said that the met
al annually turned into pens, weighs
more than all the metal used during

pen is mightier than the sword"

business men can be talked into TAX
ing space in a chart, or frame, or reg
lister, or some other thing that has

who complain that advertising does

king Leopold was operated up
on successfully Tuesday. The sur
geons found no trace of tumor pres
ence in the intestines which had
been feared. The trouble was due
to simple obstruction. The king is
now resting quietly. When he re-
gained consciousness after the oper-
alton, and learned Of what had been
accomplished, he expressed great
satisfaction. He said the removal of
the obstruction afforded him marked

w. D. Rowe and his family, who
reside at Adelia, were awakened
about 2 o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing by the incessant blowing of the
whistle of one of the Erie and Wyo-
ming Railroad Company's locomo-
tives. On arising, they discovered
their barn burning fiercely. They at
once began to get out the cattle that
were in the barn, and succeeded in
getting all their horses and eleven
cows out safely, six COWS being de-
stroyed, together with all the crops
they had gathered, and gasolene

Roberts saw the fire from his engine,
and gave the alarm, Mr.. Rowe would
have suffered a much greater loss,
for this timely warning enabled him
to save some of his stock.
