THE WEIR FURNACE
Reed Makes an Unusual Rec
ord During Past Year-The Weir
Supplants Seven Other Makes in
This Vicinity. s9

The w. s. Reed Furnace Company,
which has its offices at a04ia East Main.
made record in this part of the state
during 1908, which it believes to be
unusual in view of the sharp compe-
tition in the furnace business. Without
any special solicitation some twenty
two furnaces were installed in this
vicinity, and of the number installed
many Of them supplanted other makes
which from one cause and another had
proved unsatisfactory or short lived.
Seven different makes were taken out
and the Weir, which is the furnace
handled by the Reed Furnace Com
pany, installed. This was done too at
prices some times higher than those Of
competitors.
Smiley" Reed has sold furnaces
many years, and knows the ms and
outs of the business. He has in
stalled a great many and gives the
work his personal attention, which
means a perfect installation. But aside
from this he, claims there must be
unusual merit in furnace which takes
the place of others as the Weir has.
This is Mr. Reeds contention, and he
invites any prospective furnace buyer
to see and investigate the Weir. The
names Of those who have bought will
be gladly furnished.

Live Mule, Dead Boar,

An odd hunting adventure recently
befell a British officer in India. He
was mounted on a feet mule and was
running down wild boar, intending
to lance it, when the animal turned,
bit the mules leg and then fed again.
The mule screamed savagely, and In a
minute she had deposited the officer
on the ground. Then, kicking out
vigorously five or six times, as If to
see that her legs were all right, she
started after the unfortunate pig at
lightning speed, with fury in her eyes
and vengeance in the crook Of her
ears: The race was not long, and the
wild boar soon realized that he had
exasperated relentless enemy. He
was soon winded, and the mule, com
ing up with him, caught him by the
backbone with her teeth, crunched 1t
and threw him to the ground and
then, before he could rise, kicked him
so viciously that he was dead boar
in less than no time. Then the mule
returned to her master and gave utter
ance to ''heehaw" of triumph.

Between Supper and Breakfast.

Many persons, says a well known
doctor, though not actually sick, keep
below par in strength and general
tone, and he is Of the opinion that
fasting during the long interval be-
tween supper and breakfast, and espe-
ciany the complete emptiness Of the
stomach during sleep, adds greatly to
the amount of emaciation, sleepless-
ness and general weakness we SO often
meet. 1t is logical to believe that the
supply of nourishment should be some
what continuous, especially in those
who are below par, if we would coun-
teract their emaciation and lower de-
gree Of vitality, and as bodily exer-
else is suspended during sleep, with
wear and tear correspondingly dimin-
ished, while digestion, assimilation and
nutritive activity continue as usual,
the food furnished during this period
adds more than is destroyed, and in
creased weight and improved general
vigor are the results.-London Globe.

"a Long pance.

The longest dance on record Is prob

of some celebrity in the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth. He was a comedian and
danced all the way from London to
Norwich.
He was attended by taborer, q

doubtless a good thing for him that
there were no omnibuses or police then,
for they would probably have imposed
more impediments in the way Of his
progress than did the country people.
He started with several presents of
greats and crooked sixpences for luck,
and, laden with these, he danced to
Stratford with out rest.
Subsequently he went in for early

BaIIoo ninq Among the Clouds.

It has been my lot to see in arctic
regions some hundreds Of thousands
Of icebergs close at hand, and 1 have
always believed them to be the most
beautiful objects on earth, but the
clouds of the sky, close at hand, are
almost as beautiful. If you mount
above one of these majestic things,
swiftly overlapping one by one it's
folds and wreaths, and if remembering
how high it is you look down and see
only small green patches of earth
through holes in the cloud carpet be-
low, you have a little thrill Of con-
ception of how lonely a man would
feel falling away down there and not
being able to see the spot where he
must alight. 1t is a safe little thrill,
however. You know that you are not
going to fall. Such dizziness as some
persons feel in standing near great
heights on the earth is almost un
known in ballooning.-Albert White
