1t is hoped the following will be
taken for what It is worth. 1t is not
patented and may be used by after
dinner speakers, provided they will
give credit to Adams diary.
A darky In the south who was doing
a little blasting just outside the house
had borrowed stick of dynamite from
one Of his white neighbors, promising
to return 1t as soon as the explosion
was over. So careful was he of the
explosive that he put it away In the
house, and when 1t came time to put
1t into operation he forgot where it
was. After hunting for some time he
approached one of his daughters and
said:

had never looked upon bucolic scenes
except with sensations of disgust from
the windows of express trains.
Conant wrote a poem and called it
"The Doe and the Brook" 1t was
fine specimen Of the kind Of work yeu
would expect from a poet who had
strayed with Amaryllis only as far as
the florists windows and whose sole
pathological discussion had been car
ried on with a waiter. Conant signed
this poem. and we sent it to the same
editor.
But this has very little to do with
the story.
Just as the editor was reading the
first line Of the poem on the next
morning being stumbled off the West
Shore ferryboat and loped slowly up
Forty second street.
The invader was a young man with
light blue eyes, hanging lip and hair
the exact color of the little orphans
(afterward discovered to be the earl's
daughter, in one of Mr.. Baney's plays.
His trousers were corduroy, his coat
short sleeved, with buttons In the mid
die of his back. One boot leg was out
side the corduroys. You looked ex-
pectantly, though in vain. at his straw
hat for ear holes, its shape inaugural

In his hand was yalise. Description
of it is an impossible task. a Boston

of hay-tbe rustic's letter of credit, his
badge Of innocence. the last clinging
touch of the garden of Eden linger-
ing TO shame the gold brick men.
Knowingly, smilingly. the city crowds
passed him by. They saw the raw
stranger stand in the gutter and
stretch his neck at the tall buildings.
At this they ceased to smile and even
to look at him. 1t had been done so
often. A few glanced at the antique
valise to see what Coney "attractior'
or brand of chewing gum he might be
thus dinning into his memory. But for
the most part he was ignored. Even
the newsboys looked bored when he
scampered like circus clown out OF
the way of cabs and street cars.
At Eighth avenue stood "BunkC
Harry" with his dyed mustache and
shiny. good natured eyes. Harry was

So Haylocks went shopping In the
bazaars where men spake through
their noses and rubbed their hands
and ran the tape line ecstaticaly over
the bulge in his inside pocket where
reposed a red nubbin of corn with an
even number Of rows. And messen-
gers bearing parcels and boxes stream
ed to his hotel on Broadway within the
lights Of Long Acre.
At 8 O'Clock in the evening one de-
scended to the sidewalk whom Ulster
county would have forsworn. Bright
tan were his shoes. his hat the latest
block. His light gray trousers were
deeply creased, and gay blue silk
handkerchief tapped from the breast
pocket Of his elegant English walking
coat. His collar might have graced a
laundry window. His blond hair was
trimmed close. The wisp of hay was
gone.
For an instant he stood, resplendent
with the leisurely air of a boulevardier
connecting in his mind the route for
his evening pleasures. And then he
turned down the gay. bright street
with the easy and graceful tread of
millionaire.
But In the instant that he had paus-
ed the wisest and keenest eyes in the
city had enveloped him in their field
Of vision. 4 stout man with gray eyes

When Conant went to see the editor

ceived over the head of the Office boy

DIAT0MITE.

mioste Snsllfish.
Diatoms are tiny creatures that null
hply very rapidly until they form a
scum upon the surface Of the water in
many parts Of the world. They are
rarely more than one-hundredth part
Of an inch in diameter and often con-
siderably less. Their shells are COM
posed Of silica. and these shells are
well known TO the microscopic on ac-
tount Of their great beauty.
When the little creatures die the
shells sink to the bottom Of the stream
or pond. where they form a kind Of
siliceous mud. and there are vast de-
posits OF this material In various parts
Of the earth. THIS infds rialsearth. as
II is called. has been christened d.
atOmite, and it is being used for
variety Of purposes under the name
kieselguhr. 1t is employed as a We
hicle or absorbent for nitroglycerin.
and the resultant paste is dynamite.
Diatomite is an excellent noncontuctor
Of heat. and in this capacity 1t is used
for filing the hollow interiors Of the
walls Of safes. as a lining for stoves
and furnaces and as a covering for
steam pipes and boilers For such pur-
poses as these it has an advantage
over asbestos In the matter OF price
and also of weight.
1t can be made into bricks or slabs
by the addition of small quantity Of
lime or clay. and these bricks can be
raised TO a white heat without show.

Diatomite occurs in great quantities
in the United States. in Prussia. in
parts Of Scotland. in Canada and to
a lesser degree in Western Australia
and New Zealand. .-Harper's Weekly.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and
Some Butler People Know
How to Save Il.

Many Butler people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sible for vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is But
Ter citizens recommendation.

disordered kidneys for some time. |

at Frank Clay's Drug Store, and they

The above statement was given in
1908, Mr.. Clay added: 81 have new

One grand thing about the corn
binder is its ability to get the leaning

Last evening one of my neighbors
had his hard pine silo about half
erected. 1t has rained all morning
and it is question if he can now get
it together tight until the sun shines
to dry out the slaves, although to
leave it half erected is an invitation
for windstorm to play havoc. He
says he would never again buy a
hard pine silo-he has found that out
already-that Oregon fir, although
costing more at first, would be cheap
