The Editor Trying to Rid Himself
of Rheumatism at Martins
willie.

Finding it next to impossible to stay
at Sims Olympian Springs, because,
presume, of its close proximity to the
town of towns, pulled stakes Tuesday
afternoon and landed at Martinsville.
Ind, Wednesday morning at z O'Clock,
and in half hour was trying the vir-
tues of the waters. Martinsville is
known as the place Where Rheuma-
tism Meets its Waterloo" and like Sam
bo am "praying loud and long" that
in my case rheumatics may be left at the
post. Martinsville is town of hotels.
1t looks to have a population of $500
but frequently there are 5000 guests
here. They come from every where
and come for every trouble, but rheu-
matte guests are largely in the major
ity. In coming here make no admis-
sion of the superiority of this water
over that at Olympian Springs but the
Accommodations are better. there is
doctor in every sanitarium and there
are other advantages which are not
necessary to explain. l firmly believe
that with an up-to-date hotel and sani-
tarium man at the head of Olympian
Springs. sick people would flock there
as they do here. While strolling around
town killing time l went up into the
circuit court room and saw the Morgan
circuit court in operation. A fat little
fellow, whose name l did not learn,
was presiding with great dignity. A
damage suit against the Big Four Rail-
road was in progress and Hon. John W.
Kern. whom many Of US voted for for
vice president IN November, was speak
ing for the corporation. A Mr.. Beckett,
of Indianapolis, said to be a damage
lawyer almost as successful as our Rob-
ert Harding, was representing the
plaintiff and in the argument he was
easily first best. He won his case all
right but as usual such cases will go up
higher. Beckett looks like he might be

WELCOME TO SPRING.

'Furry" day at Helston is the day
when Cornwall officially welcomes
the spring with a very ancient fes-
tival. The word curry is a cor
ruption of "feur," an old Cornish
word meaning a fair or holiday.
With music and merry ringing OF
bells the morning is ushered in, and
the whole population gives itself
over to jollification. 1t used to be
the custom that all work should
compulsorily cease. Those found at
toll were called upon to undergo
mock trial, and the invariable pun
ishment was a ducking in Pengella
pool. The principal feature Of the
proceedings is the official dance
through the town to the accompani-
ment of the "fu:ry" music. The
men wear silk hats and frock coats,
and the ladies gay summer gowns.
Commencing at the corn market,
lie dancers lead off, headed by the
mayor and his partner. Into every
house festooned with flowers they
enter, going in at the front and
coming out at the back, and vice
versa, ringing bells and banging
knockers as they go.-London

HER DIAMONDS ON DUST HEAP.
Remarkable Recovery Of Heirloom
Lost by English Society Woman
at Wedding.

Hon. Mrs. Harley of Oxford
Square, only daughter of the sixth
Baron Rodney, has had a pleasant
surprise in the unexpected return
of an heirloom-a valuable diamond
pendant-which was lost under pc
culiar circumstances, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
On April ~ Mrs. Harley attend
ed the wedding of her elder son,
Robert G.. G. Harley, with the
daughter of the late Sir Edward
Ripley at Holy Trinity, Sloane
street, and afterward received the
guests at the Hans Crescent hotel.
During the reception the hostess dis
covered that she had lost her dia-
mond pendant. The police were
notified, but nothing was heard of it
until a couple of days ago, when a
man named Rex, working on a dust
shoot between Barking and Rayn-
ham, found what he thought to be
brooch, but what was really Mrs.
Harley's pendant. On his way home
Rex showed it to q ieweler.- who

QUAINT OLD SUPERSTITION.

The prevalence of whooping
cough in many districts of Cornwall,
England, during the spring has re-
vealed some quaint survivals of
ancient superstitions. The sover-
eign remedy, in the opinion of many
people, is donkey's hair, which must
be placed in bag and tied round
the neck of the sufferer. The hair
for a girl must be taken from male
donkey, and that for boy from a
female donkey. Many believe that
the cough always lasts three moons,
and others that it grows with the
moon and wanes with the waning of
the moon. A small amulet of adder
skin, in which text of Scripture
has been inclosed, is considered a
valuable aid to recovery.

STREET OCCUPIED BY FAMILY.
Woman of Brittany, France, Still Alive,
Able to Boast of TAI
Descendants.

The province of Guilvinec, in
Brittany, is one Of the most prolific
sections of France. The record of
having the largest family is held by
Nine. lie Cleach, a widow of 81
years, who is surrounded by 147 de-
scendants, going down to a fourth
generation. When Nine. LIE Cleach
was married she was in her sixteenth
year. Her eldest child was a daugh-
ter, who is now &C years of age, and
she was followed by 13 sisters and
brothers, of whom only five are now
alive. Nine. LIE Cleach's six living
children added al members to her
family, and most of them have been
grandfathers and grandmothers for
years, while her eldest granddaugh-
ter has grown-up grandchildren of
her own. Nine. LIE Cleach's hus-
band was under 81 when they mar
ried. When he came of age, he was
called up for military service, but
he was discharged because he was
too short. Every male descendant Of
Nine. LIE Cleach is a fisherman at
Guilvinec. Her family occupies one
entire street of the village, known
as the Rue Choquesse, after the sur
name of her married daughters or
granddaughter, while the principal
cottage is occupied by Nine. LIE
Cleach herself.

IRELAND's OLD HOME FESTIVAL

One of the greatest ''home-going"
schemes on foot is that of Irish in
America to the old country next
year. 1t is proposed to get up ar
excursion of $4,000, and the prob
abilities are that it will be a go,
though the crowd may fall short of
the figures named. With a proper
arrangement of transportation and
reasonable rates it would seem
quite likely that the Irish home-go-
ing would be a notable event. Of
course, all the pilgrims would return
to America, and in many cases would
bring home folks with them. 1t
might not, therefore, be such good
thing for Ireland, in that it would
serve to still further depopulate that
country.

CALLED THE WITCHES TREE"
Curious Superstition In Europe Re-
garding the Evil Influence of
the Elder.

English country people speak OF
the elder tree as '"The Witches
Tree" and planted it near farm
buildings and dairies to keep off
witches. They also say that the
roots should never come near well,
still less grow into it, or the water
will be spoilt. Evelyn's opinion was
also unfavorable. He says: 81 do by
no means commend the scent of it,
which is very noxious to the air.
Owe learn from Biesius that GER
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nearly all its inhabitants, which,
when at last they were grubbed up,
bacame a very healthy and whole
some place."
Cattle scarcely touch the elder,
and the mole is driven away by the
scent. Carriers often place branches
on their horses heads to keep off
flies. Nothing will grow well in the
company of the elder, and when it
has been removed and all its roots
carefully grubbed up it is some few
years before the ground becomes per-
fectly sweet and good for anything.
The berries, besides feeding the
birds, make excellent country wine,
delicious with soda water in summer
or taken hot in winter; the wood is
particularly good for skewers and
the curious jews red fungus grows
on older stumps. A species of elder
in the Tyrol is covered with beauti-
fnl scarlet berries.

CAN RECLAIM MAILED LETTER.
Official Postal Regulations Of tha
United States That Are Not Gen.
orally Understood.

Many persons are under the i'm
preston that letter once mailed is
no longer the property of the sender.
but belongs to the person to whom
it is addressed. This is an error.
Under the postal regulations of the
United States and the rulings of the
highest courts in the land, a letter
does not belong to the addressee un-
til it is delivered to him.
The writer has right to reclaim
and regain possession of it provided
he can prove to the satisfaction of
the postmaster at the Office from
which it was sent that he was the
writer of it.
Even after the letter has arrived
at the Office which is its destination
and before it has been delivered to
the addressee, it may be recalled by
the writer by telegraph through the.
mailing office.
The regulations of the post cifice
department require, of course, that.
utmost care shall be taken by the.
postmaster at the office of mailing to-
ascertain that the person who de-
sires to withdraw the letter is really
the one who is entitled to do so. and
the postmaster is responsible for his
error if he delivers the letter to am
impostor or to an unauthorized per-
son.
The vital principle in our political
system lies at the bottom of this
matter. In this country the state
is the servant or agent Of the citizen,
not his master. It remains merely
his agent throughout the transmits.

GILBERT WINS
Takes One Fast Game From
Ely Sunday
Also Has Lead in the Six
Inning Game

The Ely fans witnessed some
fast base ball Sunday when the
crack Ely Fire Department team
tried conclusions with the Gilbert
boys. While the Gilbert boys had
recruited their team from all the
range towns it nevertheless remains
a fact that they had a fast bunch
and if the general hustle and spirit
of the new town is in keeping with
their base ballists, the berg is
bound to prosper.
For the first time this season the
Firemen's aggregation went up
against a team worthy of their
steel. At no time during tile
games did either side have cinch
and it took much good ball playing
to demonstrate the truth of this as
sertion.
In the first game Seraphine was
on the slab for the Ely boys and
Brownlee for the visitors with
Skala and Boyle in the mask for
their respectives sides. ]. G. Nc
Greevy of Duluth held the indicat-
or. Both pitchers did excellent
work and their support was gilt
edged.
The score by innings and the
lineup of the two teams was as
follows:

states that newspaper publishers
must exercise more care in the flu

other proposition where there is the
slightest chance of lottery or chance
scheme. The penalty for violation
is the exclusion of the paper from

a German genius. The appliance is
very simple, consisting of a curtain
or portiere, wired with fine con-

The curtain is then drawn across the

and the slightest disturbance breaks

out of contact with each other.

send him any more copies of his
paper in which they have found
mistakes. If they find a perfect
copy, however, he offers a big price
for it. Same with all of us; if the
fool critic who hunts for mistakes
in papers would find them all he
would be kept busy. We will be
pleased to buy copies of any paper
which can be proven free from er-
rors, either by typography or in
statements of facts. We will also
be pleased to find a merchant who
never made a mistake in putting up
an order; lawyer who never lost a
case through his own errors; doc
tor who never wrongly diagnosed a
case; druggist who never made a
mistake; a post Office official who
never puts mail in the wrong box;
woman who never forgot to put
in salt while cooking or to put the
tea in the teapot before putting in
the water. Bring on some of those
mistakeless paragons who find it SO
easy to criticise the papers and
we'll give them the chance of their
lives to find whether they are really
