To Laugh at Tuberculosis.

Much ignorance prevails among the unfortunate victims of tuberculosis and families of these unfortunates, ac- cording to the Los Angeles Herald. For such as these the words spoken by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled in imperishable granite.

DYinQ by Orqans.

It has been discovered that If a human being dies after an ordinary illness. and not a violent death, he does not die all over and all at once. He may have a diseased liver, heart or lung and this may be the cause of his death: but 1t has been found that If the diseased organ could have been replaced by a healthy one life might have been maintained indefi- nitely. This is no imagination or speculation It has been confirmed by the most careful experiments by the ablest medical scientists in the country-Leslies Weekly.

EVIDENTLY SHE WAS ANNOYED
Good Wife's Punishment, Intended fer Husband, Poor Compensation
 to Revivalst

A popular revivalist had been hold ing services at town in Mississippi when heavy rain came on, and he accepted an invitation to pass the night at the house of one of the townsmen. Observing the preacher s drenched clothing, the host brought out suit of his own and sent his guest upstairs to don it.
 The good man had made the change and was on his way back to the sit ting room, when the woman of the house came out of another room, hold ing in her hands the big family Bible, out of which the minister was to be invited to read chapter before the family went to bed.
 She was not, however, in a very amiable frame of mind for careful housewives are likely to be put out of sorts by the advent of unexpected company Seeing the revivalist in his borrowed garments, she mistook him for her husband, and as he passed in front of her she lifted the book and brought it down sharply on his head

 SehWarz saw in this an opportunity for he had been miller in the old country and the strong winds of Kan. sas reminded him of the ocean winds that sweep across the dikes of Holland and turn the mills dotted all over that country, so he conceived the idea of making the bold, free winds of the prairie pay toll by turning mill that should grind the peoples grain
 But there was no machinery in this country for such a mill, so with great care and pains, he drew on paper drafts of every wheel and cog and lever and bolt, and taking them to Lin coin, Neb., had the plans worked out and the parts forged in the foundry there.
 And for nearly forty years the old mill has been doing duty, working when the wind blows, resting when the calm comes; teaching it's genial master many a lesson in patience, fur nishing food for the public roundabout. and a competence for the man who saw an opportunity and had the skill and perseverance, 10 accomplish what was, In that day. a really great under, taking

Some Improvements Suggested for
The Green-Locals and Per-
sonaIs.

There were so few members pres
ent at the annual meeting of the
Village Improvement association
that it is though well to report what
was discussed as being work that the
association might undertake, if suf-
hcient interest is shown. Now that
the expense of lighting the old lamps
and of experimenting with the new
ones is no longer borne by the asso-
citation it is thought their efforts
might be directed towards improving
the Green by ploughing, grading and
seeding it down and caring for it as
lawn. Also to help towards Sc
curing land for a tennis court and
a base ball field. AS this would re-
quire a good deal of money it is nee
essary for all to join in working for
it. So it is to be hoped there will
be enough interest aroused during
the winter so that in the spring this
new work may be begun in good
earnest.
