olden time when superstition ran rife
in the neighborhood.
General Moulton was a mighty man
in the years that called for men. He
served with the rank of colonel
throughout the Revolutionary war. In

to Gov. Benning Wentworth, in the
colonial. era, Colonel Moulton, as he
was then known, was given a large
territory of wild lands In Coos coun-

this resident of Hampton was the
largest landowner in the state. He
doubtless never knew the extent of his
possessions. But he died bankrupt

SHE HAD 1,Oo1 PROPOSALS
Young Seattle Widow, a TeIephons
Operator, to Marry the Last Ono
to Declare.

Seattle.-New York may have its
herd of 1856 loves In the person of one
Roscoe H. Sanborn, but Seattle has
real merry widow with 1901 proposals
to her credit. The one thousand and
first man is the lucky one and the
wedding will occur shortly.
The merry widow is Mrs. Rila May
Dixie, a phone operator. 1t is ques-
tionable II Mrs. Dixie ever saw more
than a scant half-dozen of the1 .001
suitors. But that did not detract
from the ardor of their love epistles.
They wrote from the north. the south,
the east and the west.
Mrs. Dixie was formerly an Iowa
girl-Ottumwa being her home. Three
years ago she married and with her
husband went to South Dakota. He
was killed in a wreck and Mrs. Dixie
a claim.
She called her place "Ottumwa," and
1t is still known by that name in
South Dakota.
At the state fair In Huron, s. D.,
In 1908, Mrs. Dixie was awarded the
prize for being the prettiest young
woman in the state. Newspapers de-
voted columns to her photo and
beauty.
At first letters came by two and
three. but finally the rural delivery
man had to put on an extra mule to
aid in hauling the mail out to "Ot-
tumwa"
Mrs. Dixie has bungalow on her
160 acres. There she opened and read
every one of the proposals.
Her house needed papering. Moth
ing would better serve the purpose
than a ton or two of love letters. Mrs.
Dixie plastered the walls and the
ceilings and used the photos for roof
ing, and with the surplus built a chick
cen corral Over all the pasted this
large sign:
Love letter shack. Tack new pro-
posals on vacant space"
Mrs. Dixie was literally driven on
her claim. She came to Seattle in
1909 and found employment. There.
however. her beauty attracted other
wooers, and though she fought them
off with her rugged South Dakota ex-
perience she at last fell victim to
Cupid. and a Seattle business man
won her hand.

CAUSES OF

Farm Animal wiII Thrive, Work

tfGiven lizard Feed" Dur
ing Busy Season.

(By s. C. MILLERs
When farm horse Is working hard
1t does not pay to let him eat grass
when 1t Is green. He will thrive, work
better and remain healthier and more
enduring II fed hard feed" during the
busy season. The soft, washy, green
grass Ia palatable of course, but 1t
makes the horse soft and fiabby, keeps
the bowels too loose. and is apt to
Induce collie.
II the horse has no work to do he
may go on pasture right along and
have little grain and when his work is
done in late summer he may enjoy
the fall pasture made green again by
rains. The pasture also Is good
place for the brood mare as 1t pro-
notes flow of milk
We find that severe attacks of collie
often are caused by allowing the hot,
tired horse to eat grass at the road
side when he has made long trip to
town
The trouble, too, is prone to come
on when horses are suddenly fed new
hay or new oats. Both new hay and
new oats should be fed In small guam
titles gradually at first, and along
with old hay and oats until the horses
become accustomed to the change.
Either the new feed is SO palatable
that the horse eats too much of It,
or It contains some ferment that sets
up indigestion and formation of gas.
Water very seldom causes collie.
Nature intends horses to have all Of
1t they want, at any and all times
and SO provided 1t does no harm. We
may cause trouble by withholding
drinking water for long periods of
time and then forcing the hot, tired

Beau Says United States More
Polite Than France.
Worlds Most Famous CotiIlion Leader
Calls on Youth of His Nation to
Recover Lost Science of
PoIiteness.

Paris, France.-M. Fouquieres, who
is called the worlds most famous
leader of cotillions and is also known
as the last true dandy of the Beau
Brummel type" finds that the United
States and England are now more
polite than France, thus contradict
ing F. Hopkinson Smith, who has held
up France as model in matters of
etiquette. The noted society leader
has issued stirring appeal to Paris
ians In which he describes the decline
Of courtesy. calls politeness a most
useful quality and urges his fellow
citizens to regain their reputation for
good manners as they are recovering
In aeronautics their reputation for
heroism.
'Politeness is disappearing, de-
clared M. Fouquieres. TT must be ad-
mitted that we are no longer the most
courteous people in the world. The
politeness which was formerly ma
tonal virtue. and the former gallantry
which always characterized French
men are today neglected. ridiculed
and almost despised.
Look at our young folk. They are
formal. stiff. Indifferent and disdain-
full; their movements are identical
and bombastic like a funeral ballet,
and they affect a phlegmatic ennui
which 1t is cain to criticise. for it is
the mode.
Foreigners trusting to our reputa-
tion for courtesy are astonished to
find themselves inspected insolently
when they venture into public places.
Women do not escape sly, gay looks
and vulgar murmurings and whoever
makes malicious Jokes at their ex-
pense is applauded with the laugh of
appreciation. Lack of tact is consid-
cred witty. Our savants, aviators, au-
tomobilists and sailors perform heroic
deeds daily and their glory is undi-
minished. Only politeness is lost
yet there is no quality more use

Public An

At the new fair ground,
Spencer, w. Va, on We'd
nesday, September 21., be-
ginning at 1. p. M, Messrs
A. Hardman and Son, will
sell 43 head of registered
Hereford cattle, consisting
of bulls, heifers, breed COWS
and COWS with calves by
their side and bred again.
There never was a better
time for our farmers and
stockmen to commence to
improve their cattle than
now. Uncle Sans free
pastures are all gone and the
people from the west have
begun already to look to the
East for their supply of beef
and feeding cattle; and the
mere fact that A. Hardman
and Son have decided to give
the public a chance each
year, to buy at public auc-
ton their output of breed
ing cattle deserves the sup
port of all. In the founda-
ton of this herd nothing has
been left undone to secure
the best breeding matrons
and herd bulls that money
could buy and experience
and judgment could produce.
There are no secrets about
this herd of cattle and any,
one wishing to inspect the
cattle before sale time are
cordially invited to visit the
farm between now and Sept
ember 10. After that time
they will be for inspection
at Spencer w. Va, Or if
there is anything particular

William ]. Bryan declares. in

William J. Bryan declares, in
the Commoner, that the Dem
ocratic Legislators who voted rs
elect William Lorimer to the
United States senate from ILL
nois should be read out of the
Democratic party. Real Demo-
Gratis, who have the good of the
party and the welfare of the
nation at heart, will echo that
sentiment. Mr.. Bryan says:
Any Democrat who voted for
Lorimer for patriotic reasons
ought to be retired to private
life and kept there long enough
to learn what patriotism means.
1t is almost as dangerous to have
a fool in the legislature as a
knave. A Democratic legisla-
ture who could be convinced that
he was performing a patriotic
duty in voting for Lorimer could
be persuaded to do anything de-
sired by a lobby provided the
same patriotic arguments were
used. He is not fit for any rep
resentative position 1T is hardly
safe to allow him to run at large.

The Picnic.

The picnic given by the bali play
ers at this place Saturday, vas
success in every respect. People
came from far ard near, and pro-
gram was complete, to the satisfac-
ton OF every one there. The ball
games were the chief attraction,
and the teams were as evenly
matched as could be. The first
game started off with Rosedale con-
siderably in the lead and continued
in this way until our boys wound up
in the 9Th inning and won the
game by a score of s TO Z, in the 9th
inning. The next on program was
climbing he CREASED pole. The boys
worked like beavers to reach the Top.
but did not succeed until they stood
on the sholders Of each other.
There were four who made the lad
der and Francis Harris was the
first to clamp his fingers on the long
green which was tied on top of the
pole. Next came the jumping con-
test. There were several entries In
this, but the main contestants were
Gnrner Norman of tins place and
Hue Haymaker, of Arnoldsburg.
The former winning with a Jump of
Is feet inches to the latters jumps
of IL feet and 4 inches. This is
said to be the champion run and
broad jump of the state. Then
came the 100 yard dash which was
slsc won by Mr.. Norman, who was
driven hard by We're Haymaker, who
was close second. Lake Vanhorn
won the boys race, and was present.

Harry Smith. Jake Whipkey
had the best Gold Basis colt, for
which Mr.. Beeman Wright gave
$40. 90 premium. There were sew
eral fine colts in this show, and all
of them deserves prize, but tho
honor was given to the best colt,
and the balance are satisfied with
the praise they received while ia
the ring. At 2 o'clock the second
ball game between Rosedale and
Grantsville was called. and the boys
Immediately got down TO work and
went ut the game with vepgence.
This game was much faster ard q
better game throug bout than the
first. Honors were even until the
last half of the 9th when Grantsville
made run winning the game by q
score of 5 t. 4. This makes two
games apiece for these teams, aud
thy will meet at Lockney next
Saturday and play the final. The
Grantsville athletic association were
promoters of this affair, and 1t was
a decided success in every way, for
which the boys deserve great cred
it. They worked hard and peace
and harmony prevailed throughout
the day, and everyone went home
feeling gay.
