IT. is expected that much
good will result from the new
horticultural association which
was formed in this city last
week. The organization was got.
ten together for the purpose OF
encouraging fruit growing by
the farmers and also for the
purpose of furnishing literature
for the members on topics that
will interest them. By having
an association of this kind much
desirable literature can be Sc,
cured for the members at very
little expense. The association
is an organization for the farm
ers and is for.their benefit alone.
Any one interested can join the
association and help it along i'll
every way possible.

Sensitive TO Art.

Said the art gallery guide. "Just
watch the crowd awhile and see which
Of their antics impresses you most"
Presently the visitor said. Il think
it is the queer attitudes so many of
them strike"
Exactly" said the guide. "They
are initiating the poses Of the figures
in the portraits. Anybody who sits
for a portrait is supposed to strike a
graceful attitude All these people
who have never been painted realize
the grace there is in the poise of the
head, the turn of the wrist, the slope
of the shoulders. They wish they
could look like that. and unconscious
~ they try it. The men are as bad
as the women. They straighten up;
they droop: they tilt their heads; they
arrange their hands and feet in imi-
tation of the figures they admire most.
Sometimes their attempts are very
clever; again they are simply ridicu-

The Restaurant Piccolo.

Writing from Dresden. an American
says: There is at least one thing in
a German restaurant for which one
would look in vain il our country.
That is the piccolo. You may think
that l mean musical instrument and
that any orchestra in any country
might have one of these. but you are
wrong. My piccolo. the one at the
restaurant. is human being. He is
boy twelve to fifteen years old. who
assists the regular walters. He wears
the regulation walters costume and
looks funny in his spiketail coat He
is as solemn as a funeral. knows how
to extract tip and for the high priv
ilege of retaining his place and taking
his first degree as waiter must en-
dure much abuse at the hands of the
head waiter and his underlings. He
is funny little fellow. this piccolo,
who because OF his appearance could
never prosper in our country. New

Created a Nav Word.

1t was the third Earl Spencer who
added word to the language in conse-
quence Of a wager. The bet was that
by cutting off the tail part Of his over
coat he could bring into fashion over
coats so short that the skirts of the
undercoat would show beneath. He
won his wager, and spencer became
the name both Of that garment and Of
the feminine one afterward construct
ed in its likeness. The peerage has
added more than one name to the
Technology of costume. Everybody
knows ''Wellingtons." and the billy
cock hat is said by some to be really
"Billy Coke" from Coke Of Norfolk.
earl Of Leicester. But none of these
examples il the sphere of clothes rivals
what the Earl of Sandwich did when
he contrived the slice Of meat between
bread as a device to enable him to go
on gambling without leaving off for a
meal.-London Chronicle.

Tender Hearted Maid.

Once upon time there lived cn1ld
Of gentle mien and manners milo; Sne
was so tender and so kind she Wept to
see window blind. She feared 1t might
give the window pain to leave 1t stand
ing in the rain. Her maiden aunty
she would beg not to stone ralslns,
beat, an egg, or from potatoes take the
eyes. Oh. how this maid did agon1ze!
And when she saw her whipping
cream with horror she would sob and
scream. The very thought of killing
time appeared to her dreadful crime
and. though to music she inclined, to
beat a measure seemed unkind. To
see the cowslip by the river with ap-
prehension made her shiver; TO cut a
page or turn it down would cause a
deprecating frown. And when she
saw them shivering in the chill au-
tumn air she knitted stockings for the
trees because their limbs were bare.
Her heart so oft with anguish wrung
caused this poor maid to die quite
yOung.-Widow.

ONE OR THE OTHER---OR BOTH.

WHEN THE proposition to buy a
public park came up before the coun-
Gil on Tuesday evening, several of the
members voting against the
proposition gave as their reason
that the city should first have lights
and then if we could afford to pur-
chase the ground for park purposes.
we should do so. It is now up to
those same members to see that we
get one or the other Of the two
things-either the lights or the public
park-or both if we can possibly do
so.
This paper believes that it has
been poor economy to let the streets
of the city 90 in darkness for so long
a time and we also believe that the
council members did an unwise act
when they turned down the PROPOSE
tion to acquire the land for the park
purposes. In our opinion it should
be the ambition of every city to
forge ahead and take a place in the
front rank with other cities of the
country. If we continually try to
hold the city back in order to econ
omize and save a few dollars, we
shall always be considered back
number" and will therefore have to
take our rank with cities in the
same class, We believe that the
city officials should try to economic
whatever they can, but the lines
can be too closely drawn and the
progress of the city held back. if we
are not careful We should begin its
look ahead and plan for the future.
1t is this spirit that will make city
grow and not otherwise.

WE NEED CROWNHART

THERE ARE many reasons
why the voters of the state should
cast their ballots for Charles H.
Crownhart, the Progressive can
didate for attorney general.
The next state legislature will
be Progressive and so will all OF
the state officials, and it is high
ly impOr tant that the attorney
general should be a Progressive
also. Levi H. Bancroft. whose
name has been placed on the Re-
publican ticket through tech
nicality discovered in the pri-
mary law by the Supreme court
has all along been identified with
the regulars" and was Chair
man of the Taft Republican con-
vention at Milwaukee, and should
he be elected it can be expected
that he will be opposed to all
Progressive legislation. Since
the primaries he has come out
with the statement that he is
progressive but this will be hard
to believe by the voters who have
followed his record during past
years,
Charles HI. Crownhart. the In
dependent Progressive candidate
has all along been identified with
the movement in the state. If
he is elected he can be depended
upon to help along all good pro-
gressIve measures that are
passed by the legislature. This
will be an important thing.
When voting your ballot be sure
to scratch the name of Bancroft
and make cross after the name
of CroWnhart whose name will
appear in the Independent col
umn. He is the candidate of the
Progressive party.

HObble skirts are not hand

HObble skirts are not hand
some, comfortable, or attrac-
tive except as an object OF
ridicule. Editors are CON-
PEELED by virtue of their office
to denounce this fashion.
The fact that Paris places the
blame for this foolish and &C.
centric style on America and
in turn America declares her
innocence of such a blunder
in aesthetics seems to show
that Dame Fashion is com
pletely disgusted and ashamed
with her degenerated off
spring. No wonder. The
idea of the hobble skirt must
have originated while Dame
Fashion was in a nightmare
and finally evolved while she
was suffering with indiges-
ton.

The Commandments For Every Day
Life

L. Life
Neither lend nor borrow, it
makes people cross the street
when they see you coming.
Your debtor will cross the
street to avoid you. Your
creditor will come over to
meet you.
It is the saddest day in a
mans life when he feels
prompted to gain a dollar
without working for it.
Be the master of your own
house. If you relinquish
your authority your happi-
ness will be at an end.
When in anger fill your
mouth with water, but do not
swallow any of it. You will
thus be able to refrain from
saying many foolish things.
Never write a line on pap
er that you wonld be asham-
ed to have published in a
newspaper.
Refrain from practical jok-
ing. Life IS too real and too
earnest and to brief to be
wasted in so wanton a fash
ion.
Look down. You will then
be satisfied with your condi-
ton in life. If you look up
you will perhaps, become en-
vious and discontinued.
Avoid business relations
with so-called unlucky people.
Ill-luck is but too often the
fault OF the individual-or an
other name for laziness or in
capacity.
Balance your cash account
daily. The careful engineer
consults his gauge constantly.
Do a heap of thinking but be
miserly in your speech.
