From the ueighborhood of Bloom, Fred

From the neighborhood OF Bloom, Fred
erick county, Va, comes story OF court
ship and marriage. Pretty Miss Pearl
Orndorff, half in earnest and half in JEST
picked up an egg from a basket in the
house and wrote thereon "The man who
gets this egg will please send his name
to me-" Then the light-hearted maiden
signed her name, with her poStoffice ad-
dress, put the egg back in the basket and
forgot it. But Jack Brindle, away up in
Pennsylvania, happened to see the egg
and the brief message thereon, and he
began to wonder about the unknown girl
down in the Valley OF Virginia. He
wrote a postcard-and got an answer.
Business began to pick up at Bloom
postoffice, and few days ago Jack Brin-
die arrived at Bloom. the sequel being
that Mr.. and Mrs. Brindle have left for
their future home in Pennsylvania.

rbs RovaIupus Around Again.

A dispatch from York, Pa, tells aoouI
the bovalopus or snoIIygaster that created
such alarm in this part of the country
wear or two ago. The item IS as follows
Resembling a kangaroo, but win the
ferocity of panther, and all the mystery
Of the famous snollygaster, or winged
bovalopus. an unidentified wild beast IS
terrorizing the farming section around
York county. Nobody ventures out al
NIGHT EXCEPT with rifles. That the mys-
FERROUS beast is possessed ofgreat strength
and ferocity was attested by its attack up
.acE unon bloodhound owned IN the
neighborhood. The hound was found
scratched in a most horrible manner near
the devils haunt. VIM. Smuck hrSI
saw fhe animal in woodland near MS
farm. and describes it as being about me
size of large capicapi, but with legs
shaped like those OF a kangaroo. OtherS
who saw if claim that it has wings IKE d

It is thought by many that ii IS one o
the snollygasters that was hatched oy inc
sun from one OF the big eggs laid by inc
great sJersey go-devil" that visited var
ious sections OF the country some time
ago. Scientist claim that these eggs are
lust beginning to hatch, as result OF tne
powerful night rays from Alexander S
new comet. Wherever the great bovaio-
pus or snollygaster deposited an egg
trouble can be expected from now on un-
til frost comes.

No Way To Escape Hard Work.

"As far as know" says man who
has achieved brilliant success in his
chosen calling, 'there is no way to escape
hard work"
That is sentence worth the consider
alton OF the young fellow who is always
looking for short cut, who is sure that
influential friends or lucky stroke will
put him al the top without the tedious
process of climbing. Hard work IS in
evitable for the man who would rise.
There are plenty OF people who wear
themselves out, brain and body, trying
to discover a substitute for hard work,
and the same expenditure OF energy would
have given them what they are after.
Stop looking for short cuts. Quit tick
ling your imagination by romantic fan
cies of covering by flying leap, the
distance over which your betterS are
content TO plod. There is no substitute
for hard work. Don't try TO find one.

How Much Did 1t Cost Himp

A farmer led his horse into black
smith shop, the smith being an old friend
of the farmer. Upon dismounting, and
leading his horse up TO the shop, the fol-
lowing conversation occurred:
Good morning, Pete; ! wantmy horse
shod all around, what will you charge
me?"
"Well," answered the blacksmith,
"being's we are old friends I'll be easy
on you. You see, there are % nails in
the 4 shoes, so I'll just charge you cent
for the first nail, 2 cents for the third, and
then double the price on each mai"

A word TO you, sonny - you little
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS boy who is
smoking cigarettes on the sly. What do
you want to be when you grow up-a
stalwart, healthy, vigorous, broad-shoul-
dered man, or a little puny, measly, no
count weak-minded dude? If you want
to be man, strong like man with hair
on your face, brains in your head, and
muscles in your limbs, you just LET those
cigarettes alone. If you want to be a
thing, pited by your folks, despised by
the girls, and held in contempt by the
fellows, keep right on and end your days
in the insane asylum.

Telephone Service for
the Farmer

A telephone may be only a convenience
to city man, il is a necessity to the
Farmer. Think what il means to sit at
home and be in instant communication
with your neighbors, the stores in town,
your doctor, in fact, the whole world.
Self preservation is the first law Of nature
Ii is almost criminal for a farmer to be
without phone.
Does 5 cents day seem so very much
to pay for all the comfort and profit of a
telephone on the farm -?
A postal, or a call by telephone will
bring an agent TO see you.

REAL ESTATE
 ON JUPITER
Thinks Planet Jupiter Is Inhab- ited-Has Appearance of
 Painted Desert.

Professor T. ], See, U. s. N., in recent lecture says; The planets revolve about the fixed stars, which are inhabited by one kind of intelligent beings. The life fiourishing on the earth is be- lieved to exist on the planets Mars and Venus, and we see no logical reason for denying it's existence on the planet Jupiter.
 In an observation of Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar sys- tenn, last October-the 5th and 9th of that month-we plainly and distinctively saw both land and water on that planet The water appeared to be a long, narrow sea or canal and had light bluish col or. On the coast line of the sea, or banks of the canal, men were plainly seen for quite long dis tance. The land under my view appeared to be fuzzy-like and had a light brownish color, and the whole area within my view was bathed in sunshine.
 The general appearance of Ju- piter in the two views mentioned above was very similar to a view of the Painted Desert in Arizona, looking southward from the Moqui Mesas, on a warm, sunny day in July and August.
 Not the least doubt exists in our mind as to the inhabitancy of the planet Jupiter, for it's topo- graphical and physical appearance is precisely a counterpart of this earth. Then, why not life on the planet Jupiter"

Tuberculosis Germs

"If a person who has tubercu- losis drinks out of a cup and then another person should drink out of the same cup before 1t has been washed, the germ may be trans mitted in this way" says James Jenkins, IT,, in Woman's Home Companion for October. Boiling water kills germs as effectively as any antiseptic, and dishes should never be considered absolutely clean that have not been washed in this way. Two persons should never use the same towel. The plan of individual washstands, so commonly used on the continent in Europe, should be more gener- ally adopted in America.
 If you have telephone in your house, the mouthpiece of the telephone should be cleaned every day, just as we clean the dishes we use on the table, and should be thoroughly disinfected at leas t twice a week. Germs of pneu- monia, bronchitis, tuberculosis and other things may be caught from a telephone.
 "A good formula for a disinfect- ant is few drops of formaldehyde in a two-ounce bottle of water, adding enough extract of lavender or some other pleasant-smelling extract, so that the odor remaining after the mouthpiece is cleaned will be agreeable. Any druggist could mix such a disinfectant for you easily and inexpensively."

Mrs. Gates has sixteen men building a residence and barns on what is known as the Moore place, on Oak Creek, which she pur- chased some time ago.

She has some splendid thorough bred horses on the ranch, and ex- poets later to go into the fancy stock business extensively. The ranch consists of So acres, all of which she is putting under water. - Jerome News.
