Beautiful American Countess.

Lady WillOughby de Eresby, the fu-
ture countess of Lancaster, is an Amer
lean and very charming one. She is
tall and handsome, with sweet and
rather serious expression. Indeed. she
is noted for her gravity and for her
calm, equable temperament. Clever
and cultivated, she delights in reading,
but she is also fond of active amuse-
ments, dances, motors and is first
rate horse-woman. AS Miss Eloise
Breese she was one of the intimate
friends of the daughters of the duke
and duchess of Connaught and she
was one of the few untitled people
present at the wedding of the crown
princess of Sweden at Windsor castle,
in June, 1905.

Il spoke to you of the gambler

this machine, however, | am enabled
to turn the subject about, as in a mir
ror. 1t is purely fourth dimensional
process, whereby the right and left
sides become transposed; the right
hand becomes the left hand, the heart
beats on the right side of the body,
the buttons of the coat appear on the
right no longer, but on the left. Aside
from these trifiing Inconvenience,
nothing unusual will be noticed: 1t is a
process unimaginable in the three d.
mensional world, but in the four-di-
mensional as easily done as the turn
ing of a coat inside out.
This change affects the soul much
as a pool is affected when stirred up
with stick. The elements of fortune
are stirred up and set in motion, the
heavier sink and the lighter-those
that produce good fortune, remain on
top. In this way you will achieve

MACk'S CAMP CLOSES
Large Logging Camp of the Sade
Lumber Co., Near Elma, Exhausts
Timber Supply

ELMA, Oct 14.-On last Monday
evening the last timber was taken
from Mack's camp on Mack's spur and
an end was made to one of the best
paying and best conducted camps in
the county. During the running of
the logging outfit more than a billion
feet of lumber was taken out, cut up
into boards and put into houses and
structures all over the land. Twenty
one years ago J. w. Hines cruised
the timber that has since been cut
by Mack's camp. He found that there
were about 100000 feet, and the
owners of the property said they
would be satisfied with half that
amount. In the past twenty years
methods in logging have greatly i'm
proved and now more of the stump
age is taken. And also the trees grew
considerably in the twenty years. AS
a result the company got more than
five times as much timber as Mr..
Hines estimated, and ten times more
than they expected.
