ESSAY
PLAN FAVORED
Local w. C. T. U. May Adopt
This Method of Teaching
Temperance to Pupils.

Frances Willard used to term the
W. C. T. U. national convention
'harvest home'' as the women then
bring in the sheaves they have gath
cred during the year. That large
national gathering is preceded by
thousands of smaller ones all over
the country known as annual meet
ings.
The sheaves or reports handed in
this year at Redwood Falls were ex-
cellent. Mrs. Phebe Fuller had la
bored in many ways for the advance
.rnent of Christian citizenship and
law enforcement. Mrs. VanDolah
reported the shipping of literature
to the woodsmen in lumber camps
and other efforts she had made.
Mrs. H. Winter spoke of what she
had done to discourage narcotics;
and lamented that she had been un-
able to discover the poisonous
source from which the boys unlaw-
fully obtain cigarettes. Mrs. Kumm
reported a very successful Sunday
school temperance rally held in the
Christian church, three congrega-
tions uniting. Mrs. E. B. Collins
had held three meetings in the in
terests of mothers. Mrs. Lusk re-
counted her efforts for Sabbath OBJ
seryance. and also press work. The
latter had gone twenty columns
higher than it did last year-being
something over 81 columns for the
IL months. Mrs. B. &. Hall had
greatly assisted by reporting the
union meetings for The Gazette dur.
ing the last few months. Miss Car.
rie Cole, in flower mission work,
had been very persevering. Mrs
VIM. Tiffany's statement of jail
work done showed earnest effort or
her part and that Of her many as.

TIMES NOT so BAD AFTER ALL. .
Gloomy Guses Have Been Busy Over
looking Real Prosperity.

New York. Aug. IA glowing
prosperity story is to be read be-
tween the lines of the trade balance
sheets just published. The result of
the thrift and industry of factory is
the best possible argument to the
gloom stories prevalent.
We sold to other nations in the
twelve months, ending June 80
which makes up the last fiscal year,
commodities so greatly in excess of
imports that the balance of trade
amounted to 521 million dollars.
While this is not as high figure as
was that which represented our fav-
orable trade balance in 1908, ap-
proximately 666 million dollars, ney-
ertheless it is regarded here as more
satisfactory from one point Of view.

the center field and will end in pens
in front of the grandstand
Throughout it's length the course
will be marked only by short flags.
Over this course a flock of sheep.
probably three or four in number, will
be driven by each dog in turn. The
expired time of each trial will not be
more than twelve minutes and during
that time the collie will have to drive
his sheep over the entire course and
pen them. During the performance of
his dog the shepherd remains in one
position, usually about the center of
the course. A large part of the way
he is out of hearing, but always in
sight of his collie. He directs his
course in various ways, some times by
a shout or whistle, but more often
merely by a motion of his hands.

WELL! I!

How time flies don't it? Did you
ever see a cow fly? Just stop
and think--we will soon have
been here three years and have
paid our rent and most of our
expenses and we feel very thank
full to you all that we have been
able to do this and we sincerely
hope that we may be able to exist
among you for some time to
come. Do you think it's just fun
to write an ad? l don't, especial
ly when a fellow has house
cleaning on the brain, that is, in
the vacuum where the brain
ought to be. But what's the
odds? If an elephant carries a
trunk what can a Polar bear?
Remember we have pictures
again next Friday and Saturday.
Hose you will all be we'll enough
to come. These rains ought to
have that case of the blues cured
by that time. Every thing is
! looking better but me.

FUNERAL OF A DOG.
White Hearse, Silk Lined Coffin and
Roses For an Irish Setter.


Roses For an Irish Setter.
A funeral more elaborate than those
given for many human beings was
held at Buffalo for Taunt. an Irish
setter, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Cronin.
An expensive coffin, lined with white
satin, such as is used for children, held
the dogs body. A white hearse drawn
by white horses carried it from the
hospital to the railroad station, where
the funeral party took train for
West Falls. A carriage followed the
hearse. Mr.. and Mrs Cronin were ac-
companied to the place of burial by
two neighbors.
The funeral attracted much atten-
ton. Before the coffin was taken
away many took a last look at the
dog, which had been general favor
lite in the neighborhood. The body
had been embalmed and the head rest
ed upon a satin lace trimmed pillow
Around the dead dogs neck was a
huge bow of pink ribbon.
At West Falls Taunt's body was low
cred into grave lined with hemlock
boughs. Overhead is a wild cherry
tree. Carnations and roses covered
the top of the coffin. The grave is on
beautiful hillside overlooking Pixies
Creek ravine, on Glen Rose farm. A
simple granite shaft with the letter
ing Sacred to the Memory of Taunt'
has been ordered for the grave.
The Cronins have no children, and
Taunt from his puppy days has re-
ceived the care and attention usually
bestowed upon baby, being brought
up on bottle. At night the dog slept
on feather bed. Latterly Taunt had
been accustomed to drinking a couple
of bottles Of Bass ale before going to
sleep.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn. July 10.-At IL
O'Clock Sunday fire started in the
cellar of Rubenstein & Schindler's
dry goods store and in less than fifty
minutes the large mercantile es-
Establishment was burned. The loss
amounts to about $4,000. Other
losses were: L. N. Byers' insurance

For long time it seemed that the

came to the assistance of the fire de-
.partment and what might have beer

LAST OIL COMING
City Has Used 64OO Gallons at
4 IL Cents.

The street committee has ordered
the ninth car of street oil, which
will be the last one ordered. This
will bring the amount used up to
$4,000 gallons, the cost of which
will be about $1,000. The city
bought 5000 worth for use in the
business section and in front of pub
lie property and the citizens have
subscribed A cents a front foot on
other streets to the extent of 81 ,000
This estimate made last year in thin
oil has not been sufficient for the
thick oil now beng used and no
more will be ordered at so heavy an
expense to the city. A part of the
coming tank has not yet been placed
and those not booked still have a
chance to get same of it while it
lasts. II will be here this week.
