LeStervilIe Items.

Our postofice which for so many
years has been located in one
store has been moved to the store
OF our new postmaster, Mr.. G. A.
Johnston.
MI. w. l. Bays, our former post
master, who has sold his store
property to VIM. bayfield,, had an
auction on Saturday closing out
the goods left on hand. The auc-
ton was very largely attended.
The intention was to build our
new bank on the corner recently
purchased by "Uucle Billy" Ray
field, but a change has been made
and it will be built on a lot sold to
the bank by G. A. Johnston, OPP
posite his store and operations
have commenced this morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Taylor, OF
st. Louis, who have spent the
past two weeks at the hotel of M.
E. Goggin, have returned to the
city. They are very pleasant peo-
pie and we hope they will spend
their vacation here next year.
A revival is in progress at the
Methodist church under the leader
ship of Rev. Backman, assisted by
Revs. Jaycox and Fortune. Con-
siderable interest is being mani
tested.
We are having a very marked
growth in our little town, four or
five 9 residences having been
recently completed, and the build
ing of several more being contem-
plated in the near future. Our
new bank building which is to be
a very substantial one will also
add greatly to the looks of the
town. Our sister town, the county
capital, had better look to her
laurels or Lesterville will outstrip
her. IHUBITE.

Fitzpatrick, G.. H. Fitzpatrick, Ray
Fitzpatrick, and Mrs. A. w.
Schmidt.
We cannot think of her as be-
ing gone forever but just as watt
ing, or transferring her member
ship from the Belleview Baptist
church (of which she has been a
member since 1881 to the church
triumphant. A woman beloved
by all who knew her, and one who
was always ready Iand willing to
aid all who needed aid. A loving
wife, a dear mother, and a staunch
friend and a cheerful Christian
worker, she was always found to
be, never firing of her work for the
Master, ever singing His praises,
up to Deaths very hour, and ready
to answe the call. Too much can
not be said of her work on earth,
for she made sure of a home be-
yond.
A loving one from us has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled!
While yet she is sleeping
Upon the hill in sight,
Her loved ones are weeping
Within their homes tonight!
Oh, mother dear, twill not be long
Well come to Join your happy throng,
And meet at last on that blest shore
Where parting comes no nevermore!

HERE'S what the Aldrich- Payne
tariff law, which is bringing so
much prosperity to the favored
New ~Englanders, is doing for the
people right at our doors. We clip
this paragraph on the subject from
the Fredericktown, Mo-, News-D DEM
ocrat: "We have a beautiful ex-
ample of the prosperity we heard
so much about before the last cleo
ton, in addition to the closing
down Of the mines; at that time it
cost IA and Is cents a foot to have
granitoid walks put down in this
city and now the same work is be-
ing done at s cents a foot, while
the cost of living has increased
fully Is per cont; the laboring
man who was then receiving $1.S5
to $500 per day for his work is
now receiving ST a day with work
scarce even at this low figure.
Truly we are in the midst of red
hot prosperity"

AN eminent Eastern scientist
and physician gives utterance to
the following:
"The loss of energy through the
consumption of sugar in the last
century and the first decade Of this
century can never be made good.
Alcohol has been consumed for
thousands of years, but has not
caused the degeneration OF the
whole human race"
What a new field is here opened
to our friends of the w. G. T. u!
In good time, too, for they have
run the Demon Rum into his last
hole, or thereabouts. The Awful
Tobacco Habit, not nearly SO pug
nacious, and less tenacious OF life,
will be but a breakfast spell, met
ap~horically speaking, to the con-
quering Sisterhood, and after that
-innocuous desuetude? Forbid it,
all the gods at once! Let a new
flag, with a new device be prepared
to lead the conquering host into
the new feld-Sugar! o thou
fair and toothsome and palate-se-
ducing product of the beet and
the cane, what suffering, misery
and crime may not be laid unto
theel Heartburn and indigestion
and internal anguish follow in thy
wake. Aye, allied with chalk,
ptomaine, tea and chocolate, thou
hast betrayed many a trusting
home Of it's fairest and dearest!
Thou hast seduced our public SER
wants and corrupted the halls oil
legislation. Let the statistics oil
the evils thou hast accomplished
be compiled and printed and pro-
claimed, and an astonished world
will stand aghast. Here is Q. work
for the w. @. T. U. worthy its
noblest effort. Let us reform the
weak and hayward who, in theil
stolid ignorance, persist in taking
"sugar in their'n," and Full many
a happy, rehabilitated home shall
call us blest For knocking out To-
bacco, Rum and-Sugar, last and
best!

BRO. DANIELS of the Ellington
Press, Democratic nominee for
Representative of Reynolds coun-
ty, says that he did not boastfully
make the statement that he had
refused to print the Budyeiser
beer advertisement in his paper,
neither did he state it as a moralist
or reformer-but merely as a mat
ter of fact. We accept the broth
er's explanation OF apology
which aver he prefers to term it
but must confess that his meaning
is not at all clear to US.

PATTON, the grain manipulation,
says q substitute for wheat as a
foodstuff is a dire necessity soon
to arrive. But, if such substitute
be evolved or discovered, we
shall petition Congress to tax the
life out OF it, as did the Genessee
IN. W buttermakers when oleo-
margarine came to compete with
their product. Better an empty
stomach than low cost of living.

mark: Il suppose my husband is
as good man as ever lived, but
his mother did not train him to be
courteous to ladies. His sisters
were his slaves, and thereby he is
spoiled as a husband. | wish j
could train several hundred boys
to be husbands for the next gener-
alton. Do you suppose they'd con-
slider it their prerogative to drive
the girls out Of the easiest chair,
take the sunniest corner of the
room, the best place by the light,
throw books, papers or slippers
down for some one to pick up,
grow up with the idea that a wife
must be valet and the rest of the
household stand respectfully by to
obey orders? You smile, but this
is anything but a subject to laugh
over. I really believe that husbands
never think that their unkind
words hurt. They don't realize the
difference to us-for instance in
their manner when they come to
dinner. All day the wife has been
alone with the servants and the
children, and is more hungry for a
kind word from her husband than
an epicure feast. He comes in just
as the dinner bell rings. For a
wonder, dinner is once ready on
time, the husband says. Couldn't
he have saved that heartstab by
saying, That's pleasant sound to
a hungry fellow. And if dinner is
not quite ready, why need he say,
OF course not; never is In work
ing notices for the home, why
hasn't some one taken Wesley's re-
mark, I'd as soon swear as fret,
instead of hanging up, I Need
Thee Every Hour. Of course men
appreciate their wives, but they
too often keep their polite manners
and courteous ways for others

Could anything be a better
illustration Of the way women do
their work as compared with the
way men do theirs, than to look
over a village of say, a thousand
families, on Monday?
In thousand little kitchens a
thousand women would be seen
thrusting wood into a thousand
little cook stoves, heating a
thousand little wash boilers,
bending their backs over q
thousand little washboards, and
hanging their clothes on a
thousand little clothes lines. If, by
some singular social revolution, the
men of such a village were to
undertake to do the work their
first step would be to get up a
stock company, invest capital in
building and machinery, so organize
the work that about a half dozen
men would do the work for the
whole town, receive good salaries
therefor, and the rest of the men
wonld 60 about their business on
Monday just as on any other days.
