Happily Surprised

Last Sunday morning July "a 10,
as Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Jayne were
sitting in their yard enjoying rest
and visiting with sister, who had
come from over in Guthrie Co, when
they heard the sound of approach
ing carriages and upon investiga-
ting saw a number of friends and
relatives who had come to remind
Mrs. Jayne that they had come to
help her celebrate her 24th birth
day. She hardly realized what was
going on until they had long ta-
bles stretched in the shade loaded
with good things to eat.
They left lovely rocking chair
and many small presents as a to-
ken of the day. Mrs, Jayne hopes
they will come every year if they
can furnish such a good dinner.
About ninety-fve guests were pre-
sent.

That whole eouled friend of the
press, who commenced his career
early in the seventies on the Defen-
der and later followed type setting
on the Journal, where he labored
tor many years, until he became
chief ty po in the Audubon Repub-
lican office at Audubon has been
obliged to vacate his case in the
office and seek rest and recupera-
ton with friends and relatives in
Extra. The diagnosis of the cause,
which compels By's temporary re-
tirement at this time is an affection
of the stomach perhaps brought on
by being too closely confined to his
labors in the Office. By feels badly
over his prospects, but it is hoped
by his many friends that the step
now being taken, the association of
his old time associates and rela-
tlves in the city of his youth and
amidst the sunshine and flowers of
the City Beautiful where every ones
prayers are asking his healing, will
make his spirit again leap for JOY
and his apparent ailment be dis

be brief, it is offering free to it's readers

makes shaving delight, a razor a
source of pride, and a grouchy shaver

A WORD 1t is one of the
PICTURE finest German water
TRUE TO homes, dark blue in
LIFE color, and six inches
in length by two in width. A second
stone accompanies it, and is to be used
with it as follows: After the hone has
been wet with water, it is rubbed with
the second stone, which is called the
rubber" until a lather appears; and
the razor is ground in this lather,
which imparts to it an exceedingly
keen, smooth edge. Then with little
strapping the razor is fit for king.
Nothing but awkwardness can prevent
this result, and this the Journal cannot
help. But if, ON the other hand, one
makes the razor too sharp for his face
and gets cut, the Journal is ready with
the proper remedy. In fact it gives
with the hone set above, a Coutoline
astringent pencil, such as is used by
practically all BARRIERS to stop bleed

wound lightly with the pencil and the
bleeding ceases.

PROCESSION OF WONDERS

PROCESSION OF WONDERS
We are growing accustomed toa new
marvel with every moon, and few go
by any more without giving us some
thing new and strange to wonder
about.
Disease is losing its terrors, and the
longevity of civilized human beings is
increasing. Diphtheria, which gen
Grafton ago was fatal in fifty five cases
out of every hundred, now kills in only
two or three per cent of the cases. The
bubonic plague, which once moved
down humanity in hundreds of thou
sands, may now invade our largest ci-
ties and be repelled with a bare dozen
or perhaps score of victims. Hava-
ma, the former hotbed of yellow fever,
is now one of the most healthful cities
in the world. Malaria, which once
hung as the Specter of Death over the
torrid regions, and drove back or slew
every white man that ventured there,
has now become a matter of simply a
little mosquito bar or petroleum. And
the Isthmus of Panama, where the
men of the last generation died like
flies, is now as safe and healthful as
Iowa or the western mountains.
The sandy deserts of the West, where
men could not gain subsistence few
years ago, have become, by dry farm
ing, nearly as productive as the sec
tions where the rain falls. In the for
bidding Businesses of the Rockies are
fruit farms made possible by irrigat ion,
that would put to shame the vineyards
of the Promised Land. By the cross.
ing OF species, or by selection, we are
learning to produce new fruits and
flowers and vegetables. The wonder
berry is strange to us yet, and the
spinless cactus is only beginning to
fulfill its appointed place in man-ruled
Nature; but the human mind has not
yet begun to comprehend the marvel
GUS possibilities of the new order in
which we can create new species, as
we'll as improve the old ones. 81.
The waterfalls and rapids of rivers.
far from the haunts of men, are cook
ing victuals, and running sewing ma

road trains, and weaving calico, and
even printing magazines and newspa-
pers, hundreds Of miles away.
If all the things that fly, whether
birds, or beetles, or butterflies or fiying
machines, should indulge in grand
aerial race, man in his aeroplane would
distance most of his competitors. For
there are certainly very few that can
traverse the skies as fast he; and most
would fall behind SO rapidly that they
would never know the result unless the
course We're very, very short. Still, it
seems but yesterday that the wise ones
ridiculed the idea of successful fly
ing machine.
A submarine vessel travelled, not on
the waves, but beneath them, dis
tance of eight hundred miles the other
day. Yet the newspapers had little
to say of the achievement Ten years
ago this, too, would have created a

are being foreclosed on Minneapolis

even surpass this record. 1t is to be ta-
ken as an unmistakable sign that in

baby from the arms of it's grand.
mother, Mrs. Molly Jenkins, who at
that moment had it in charge and
handed it to his brother Ed who
was in town with his team. Mrs.
jenkins made desperate effort to
retain the child and in the struggle
it is alleged violent hands were
laid upon her and the clothing was
nearly stripped from the child. Mrs
Jenkins screamed for help but the
music drowned her cries aud the
father and uncle succeeded in get
ting out of town without molesta-
ton. Warrants we're sworn out
against the father for assault and
against the brother for aiding and
abettiug, and early Monday morn
ing Constable N. o. Smith went to
Eds home, arrested him and brot
him to town, and appearing before
Justice Lair pleaded "Not Guilty"
and was placed under bond to ap-
pear for trial on Monday, August
1st. The father with his two da augh-
ters have disappeared but Ed says
he failed to leave his future address
so that if asked where he had gone
he could truthfully cay he did not
know.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott separated
some time ago, he retaining pos

remaining in her care. The case
will probably now be run through
the court and the end can only be
conjectured.
