Anty Drudge on True Economy.

Anty OTuOSC OH AEuC GNOAOmI' Mrs. NusOed-'Tm economizing by doing my wash ing By boiling the clothes long time can get the dirt out without much hard rubbing. Antv Drdge-'' 'Economizing shucks You're burning up money in fuel and wearing out your clothes faster when you boil them. Use Fels-Naptha in cool or lukewarm water without boiling. You'll save fuel, save your clothes and you won't have any hard rub ping. That's true economy
 How much are the clothes worth that go into your weekly wash?
 Many dollars at least.
 Isn't it worth while to take good care of those clothes, to make them wear as long as possible?
 Then, why soften them by boiling and hardrub them into holes on the washboard? The Fels-Naptha way of washing will save your clothes.
 Fels-Naptha will cleanse them thor oughly in cool or lukewarm water without boiling or hard rubbing.
 The clothes will be Sweeter, cleaner and winter than you can get them any other way. And they'l wear twice as long.
 Remember, whether winter or sum mcr, no boiling, no hot water, no hard rubbing.
 Time saved, fuel saved, work easier, . less bother.
 Follow simple directions on the rco and green wrapper.

their work that according to statis-
tics, not more than one out of about
every $4,000 pieces handled by them
goes wrong, and probably not more
than one out of every 100000 letters
handled by the clerks fails to find its
destination eventually.
A point not always appreciated by an
outsider Is that the railway clerks sort
their mail with the idea of making 1t
reach its destination in the shortest
possible time, and this often means a
great amount of quick mental calcula-
ton.
Yet, after all, 1t Is practice and ex-
perience that make the clerks efficient
and reliable. Day after day and night
after night they read over the same
towns, cities and villages, and their
minds with almost automatic precision
respond to the Impressions made on
the eyes. No man could stop and
think o. all the towns and hope to fin
ish hjG days work in time. That sub
cons scious self Of ours comes to the as
sists.nce Of the memory and enables
us to do marvellous things without
conscious thought.
The railway postoffice clerks must
work at high pressure when on duty,
But when the mail Is finally sorted
and the last bag tied out, they relax
and forget all the difficulties of their
job. They may enjoy the railroad ride
then as the train in the early dawn
steams into the last city on the route

The Fault of the Boots.-That a
small man can fill large opening Is
demonstrated by Taylor Holmes of
THE Million" company, according to
Young's Magazine, in the following
story:
"As a sergeant was bawling out his
orders the other day at barracks and
watching the line of feet as the raw
recruits endeavored to obey the word of
command, he found, to his astonish-
ment, that one pair of feet, more no
ticeable on account of their extra
large size, never turned. Without TAX
ing his eye off them the sergeant shout
ed a second order. About face
He could see that all the feet ex-
cept those he was watching turned in
obedience. Rushing up to the owner,
a little fellow, he seized him by the
shoulders, shouting:
why don't you turn with the rest?
81 did, replied the trembling re-
cruit
You did, eh? Well, 1 watched
your feet, and they never moved
Its the boots they gave me, SIR
They're so large that when ! turn my
feet turn in them"

Testimony Of the Blind.-Before the
trial was half ended 1t was apparent
that most credence was placed in the
testimony for the defendent.
THAT is because he has two blind
men testifying for him." said man
who has served on many juries. when
it comes to a question Of memory the
word of a blind man goes further In
a courtroom than Of person with
good eyes. It is with the jurymen
that his testimony really counts. but
the judge and lawyers are also i'm
pressed. This is taking into consid-
Grafton, of course, that the blind man
has a reputation for veracity. We
assume that with the loss Of one ia
Guilty others have developed What
a man cannot see he hears and his
mind stores up. Our faith in the re-
tentiveness of a blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
a person with all his senses would be-
come confused and testify vaguely,
the blind man can repeat converse
tion verbatim" New York Press.

MISSOURI WAR COURTHOUSE
Used by confederates as Legislative

ry county, Kansas, Is to have q new
court house and the old building,
which is a relic of the civil war. will
pass into history.
The old court house, which was a
two-story brick building, was used by
both the Union and Confederate ar
mics. Had the fight not been so warm
in this section the Confederates might
have claimed 1t by right Of discovery,
for they were the first to occupy It.
The building was first used by the
Confederates as a meeting place for
the legislature which was convened
here October 81, 1851, after being
driven out Of Neosho by the approach
Of the Federal army, says the Kansas
City Star.
1t was at this session the state was
seeded from the Union, and much
other important business was trans
acted. The articles Of secession were
written and introduced by the late
Senator George Graham Vest. The
meeting was attended by n members,
w. s. Mcconnell, the member Of the
legislature from this county, being
forced to attend to. make the quorum.
Mr.. McConnelPs refusal to attend
at first was because Of the fear Of the
Federal troops and sympathizers, who
were in this country in great numbers.
Governor Claiborne F. Jackson, who
was elected governor in 1860, was at
the meeting, and after the acts Of Sc
cession were passed made a speech
from the south door of the old court
house, informing the people Of the ac-
ton Of the legislature and notifying
the people that they then composed a
part of the Southern Confederacy.
Senator Vest also delivered an ad-
dress. The session lasted for eight
days, adjourning November because

The meeting at New Madrid was new
er held, however. During the meet
ing of the legislature the command Of
General Sterling Price was stationed
at Fort Hill, on which is now located
the Cassville high school building.
The old court house Is perhaps the
oldest one in the state, having been
constructed in 1854. At this time the
building was composed Of but two
stories. A third story was added later.
The court house was used by the Fed
eral troops after having been occupied
by the Confederates, for store room
and later turned into a fort, logs be-
ing rolled at the outer edge Of the
yard. Portfolios also were cut in the
building. The Federals, with a large
force, controlled the town, which was
getaway into Arkansas and the
south.

four ships lengths.
Very many French vessels were lost
on Sable during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, and in 1899 the
British transport Francis, on her way
to Halifax, went aground on these
deadly sands and was lost with all on
board. This wreck was notable be-
cause the Francis was conveying to
America the whole equipage Of the
Duke of Kent, Queen Victoria's faith
er. Horses, plate, furniture-every-
thing was lost. His Royal Highness' S
surgeon, several officers of his house
hold, his coachman and gardener, all
perished in this terrible disaster. A
vessel sent by the duke to look for sur
vivors or salvage was also wrecked on
the same shoal and nearly all her crew
drowned.
In the center of Sable Island is la
goon thirteen miles long, in which are
to be seen the moldering wrecks of
two fishing schooners. Incredible as
it may appear. these vessels, with
their crews safe aboard them, were
carried bodily by enormous breakers
across a wide strip of land into this
strange harbor Of refuge.
The Canadian government has now
two lighthouses and a complete life
saving service upon Sable Island
There are four families, as well as a
lifeboat crew. a cook, teamster, a
cowherd and others-in all about for
ty people. The lighthouses were built
in 1873, but before that date the LOT
of those cast ashore on the storm
swept sandbanks was indeed cruel
one. They did not starve, for there
were wild ponies and seals and berries
on the island, but there was absolutely
