 Why, there is not anything to make fuss about in regard to the sale, said MT. Patten.

1 to realize that the grim-vis-
aged, shabby, unclean man,
wandering about the face Of
the earth homeless and alone;
whose eyes tell the hate and
envy Of his soul, and spoken
words confirm our first i'm
preston as to the hardness
Of his heart, was once a pure
and sinless child---the recipi-
ent of a fond mothers love;
was oft hushed to sleep by
her cooling words; that his
head oft received the impress
Of her loving kiss. 1t is when
such a person stands before
US in all his helplessness and

ate to what far ways a mis-
guided one may stray when
he once quits the blazed path
his Maker intended him to
follow.

A CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE.

There is much discussion among
scientists regarding the spread OF
disease germs. Some say that no
thing carries disease like rats.
Others affirm that it is the flies
that do the mischief. Not a few
lay the blame to the kissing habit.
Now we lay no claim to any great
prominence in the world OF science,
but while others go around laying
the blame on innocent creatures
that can't defend themselves against
such unjust accusation, we boldly
declare that by far the largest and
most dangerous kind OF germs are
carried about in the Whiskers. Only
today we saw patch of whiskers
going by our Office window that
would afford a most perfect retreat
for a whole family of bacilli. Once
when a boy we were attending a
performance of patent medicine
company, when we saw a man
come down from the stage, and
walking directly to all old man
sitting on the front seat, take live
o q. us whiskers. Oh

IGNORANT MAN WAS PRoFANE
u He Knows What He 10 Talking
About, He Is Not Likely
to Swear.

Two men were disputing violently
as to matter which we knew a good
deal about. They were strangers,
and We simply overheard them. They
seemed to be mad and each contend
ed, with much gesticulation and
some profanity, for his side of the
case. Now the fact is neither knew
what he was talking about. They
were both ignorant of the fact in
volved. They had seen half or a
quarter of it and thought they had
seen it all.
Ignorance is inclined to get very
demonstrative 1t sometimes, very
often, gets wild and swears. When
a man swears in an argument, then
it is pretty certain he is wrong. The
truth doesn't make man swear. It
tends to soften him and subduc his
emotions. And when person gets
violent and begins to rage and swear,
he should stop short and say to
himself: ''Tkcrc, I am wrong again.
I will build little altar to truth,
send up some sweet incense, and
maybe will win her back" Or
some such recourse to clarity onc'a
vision. Ohio State Journal.

ELECTION RESULTS.

The result of the election Tues
day demonstrated that we have a
sufficient number of voters to war
rant county organization and fully
justi6es the efforts of Timber Lake
people who started the petition
There was 332 votes cast on the
county seat proposition and it is
safe to say that if there had been
voting places named SO that those
living near the Agency and around
Eagle Butte could have voted, this
number would have been greatly
increased.
There has been talk of a contest
on the part of Isabel ever since
our petition was acted upon by the
governor. In view Of the fact that
1873 votes were cast in the 1sabe
district alone, when not long since
it was claimed by them that there
was not $50 legal voters in the
county, proves one Of two things
either that they were awfully off in
their first claim or else that they
voted everyone whom they could
get to the polls, regardless of resi-
dence. The fact that an attempt
was made there to vote a couple
dozen Dagoes who came in on the
train Tuesday, does not place them
in a very good position to ely
fraud.
1t appears from reports received
here that two of Isabel's candi-
dates were elected, but by a very
close vote, which upon a contest
would very probably reduce their
majorities to minorities, so that if
Isabel cares to contest we would
welcome the attempt.
Our opinion however, is that it
would be best for all to let the re-
suit of the election be final, forget
and forgive on both sides and from
now on pull together for the CON-
mon good of the county.

OLD PENNSYLVANIA TAVERN
Noted Hosteiry Where Great Stage
Coaches Put Up Half q Cen.
fury Ago.

The old Stone house at the juno
ton Of the Franklin and Pittsburg
pike with the Erie and Pittsburg
pike is one of the noted historic
spots in Butler county. Half CEN
fury ago the great stage coaches
over these noted highways put up at
the Stone house for the night.
Buckwheat cakes, honey, country
ham, sausage, Indian mush, dough-
nuts, roasted potatoes and mince
pies formed the larger part Of the
menu at this noted hosiery.
The building was erected in 1917
and is still occupied. It stands at
the crossroads and is surrounded al
most entirely by dense forest. 1t
was the first house built, possibly,
ON the thousand-acre tract of land
taken up by the Mcclure family and
is still in their name.
There are many wild and weird
stories connected with the famous
house which the old people in the
neighborhood tell, but they lack the
clement which make them true his
tory. However, it is not too much
to say that previous to the Civil war
strangers were known to enter the
old Stone house who were never
again seen. These were in the days
Of counterfeiters, stage coach travel,
open gambling and open barrooms.

back. Third, that it was cracked

During the winter just closed the
English salvation army expected to
provide $4,000 meals from the waste
of the warships in Chatham dock
yards. For when ships are in port
