Our Native Birds.

The native birds are one of our

stroy them and in a comparatively
short time the insects Will have
multiplied to such an extent that
trees will be denuded of their foil:

crops can not be raised. 1t is the

everv citizen to protect these
valuable little creatures and en-
courge them to remain around his

manufacture, which are sold IN the
United States for the detection,

the same and to publish the results of
said tests in such manner as he may

The Local Paper.

The Burns Tenn. New idea makes
a strong plea for the local paper in
the home, viz:
1.-THE local paper should be found
III every home. 1t is the stepping
stone to intelligence among the chill
dren of our country. Give your
children q foreign paper which con-
tains lot of stuff they know nothing
about. and things about places they
never saw or heard tell of, how can
you expect them TO be interested 2
But let hem have the home paper and
read about things they can see every
day and people they know and some
thing that will be interesting to them
and seq how they Will watch the ar
rival of the home paper each week.
Thus habit of reading is formed
which makes them intelligent men
and women, credit to their
ancestors and strong in the knowledge
of the world as it is today. -

For Barb Wire Cuts.

When horse has been injured on

the flow of blood; this may as rule
be done by Dandaging it up tight. 1t
may also frequently be best to apply
powdered alum or common saleratus,
both of which will generally be
found effective. In few hours, con-
siderable swelling will set in this

cold water frequently, or. what is
really better, applying pure kerosene
oil, not only to the wound, but also
to the swollen parts. No handage
should be kept on where kerosene is
used, as it Will then cause the hair to
fall off temporarily, and as soon as it
is safe to do so, the sore should be
carefully washed with soft water and
CASTLE soap. This ought to be re-
peated daily until the sore heals. One
of the best healing medicines for
horse flesh that I have ever used can
be put up at any drug store, as fol-
lows: One-half pint oil, alcohol; one
half pint of spirits of tuIpentine
ounce of pure glycerin; mix alto
gether in large bottle and shake
we'll before using. Apply only with
a feather at morning and night. The
sore should never be bandaged. By
daily washing it will in this way
heal up very rapidly. l can personal
ly testify to the effectiveness of this
simple remedy, as we have made use
of it in numerous cases. with the best
results, where every other remedy we
tried failed to heal up the sore on the

that Adams 73O years were really

The Italians employed here |
. Friend

The Italians employed here by
the railroad company live in a
primitive fashion. A couple of box
cars side tracked just outside the city
limits afford them comfortable sleep
ing quarters and as, for eating, they
simply hustle the grub themselves
and are not at all fastidious as to the
way it is served. Highly seasoned
dishes usually make up their bill of
fare but once in while couple of
gophers or chipmucks afford them a
change in the way Of game
dinner Two or three of their num-
Der act as cooks and bakers and seem
to be ma ster hands at preparing meals
over fires, made up of scraps of paper
and kindling which they collect
along the side of the track. Their
ovens for baking bread are dug in
the bank and the nicely brown ed
loaves that are taken out would be a
revelation to any housewife. To be
sure their baking is not overly clean /;
it comes into contact with the sides
and bottom of the clay oven too much
for that, but nevertheless, these dark
skinned sons of Italy are possessed of
good appetites and enjoy their meals,
as much as any epicurean who ever
lived Theirs is surely the simple
life-to an nuslal degree.

residents of the east portion of the

street be opened running north from
Lincoln Avenue to connect with the
sourh end of Sheridan Street. This
street would extend about two and

without a doubt in favor of this

Geo. Hampton, of Lancaster, being
now the only remaining member Of
the once large family.
He was married April 10, 1850 to
Miss Augusta Crouch and in her
found most devoted wife and
estImable companion. To this happy
union four children were born, who
have all gone out from the "home
nest" to make other homes They
are Mrs. John Roesch, Lancaster;
Mrs. Chas. Roesch. Boice Creek
Frank Taylor, Boscobel Mrs. Melvin
NARROW, Hurricane. Mr. Taylor was
a firm believer and his life exemplif-
ed his faith in God.
One of our earliest recollections
of him was attending the Boice Greek
church and hearing him sing with so
much sincerity that good old hymn
one cuplet of which is
but when I am happy in Him
December'S as pleasant as May"
With the exception of some rheu-
matte trouble. Mr.. Taylor had been
a man of good health up to about six
months ago when the first symptoms
of that dreaded malady. cancer, were
noticed. Since that time his suffer.
ings at times were intense but he bore
all with Christian fortitude and re-
signation and once told his wife that
none but God knew what his suffer
ings were. All that loving hands and
the best medical skill could do was
done to alleviate soothe and comfort.
Next spring April 10Th, 1910 will
be the 50th anniversary of their mar
riage and as the peaceful years had
glided by in such rapid succession
and the time was drawing near to
celebrate their ''goIden wedding
they were anticipating joyous
reunion with children and grand
children on that happy occasion.
Pathetic indeed it seems for the one
who has travelled SO long by his side
and was caused to excIaim. so
near. and yet SO far but Gods ways
are not always our ways and we are
confident that when they are re united
in the Better Land the joy will more
than recompense for all the kind

Sangster seem so fitting to them.
AS when the sun in going down
PourS splendor on the golden west
So age that wears life'S silver crown
Hath foretaSte of the Heavenly rest
The rOughneSS of the way forgot
Calm trusting in the Fathers love
These two were happy in their lot
And hopeful of the Home above.
Mr.. Morgans conducted the funeral
service from the home and spoke
words of comfort and assurance and
interment was in Boice Creek ceme-
