Selby, the pastor of the M. E. church
of Eldon in charge.
Congregations have been fairly good
from the first and all who have attend
ed these services have been helped.
Rev. Selby is faithful man Of God;

blessed his effort. Many who have
been Christians for years have been
stirred as never before, and have been
led to see their great privilege in
Christ Jesus, and have taken decid-

DAVIS co. BABE
APERFECT MODEL
DAUGHTER OF MR.. AND MRS. WILL
COX WEIGHS ONLY 2H POUNDS;
HAS HEAVY AUBURN HAIR

Bloomfield, Feb. S.-Thursday the
Bloomfield Courier correspondent went
to the home Of Will Cox and wife near
Belknap to see their three weeks old
baby. 1t is what you might call a
model baby. Webster defines q
model as small specimen OF the real
thing and this little girl answers the
definition exactly. When born she
weighed only two and a half pounds.
She has grown some. Is bright and
strong for her age and seems In fine
health and bids fair to live. Her toe
and finger nails we're absent at first,
but the finger nails are coming nicely
and of course the toe nails will do the
same. She is a real pretty baby and
looks much older than she really
is. Her eyes are dark blue, and when
awake they are wide open and bright.
She has heavy head of dark auburn
hair, that needs combing every day
to keep it in order It's grandfather
Morrison Mccormick, Of Belknap, only
weighed two and one-half pounds when
born. He grew to be a large man,
being six feet tall and large in proper
ton. It's mother Is small woman,
but it's father is larger than the average
man. It's appetite is good and so far
it has developed nothing but good
health. The reporter took careful
measurements of this most wonderful
little creature and submits them as
follows:
From heel to knee, inches; waist
measure, 8 inches; chest measure, 8
inches; top of head to bottom Of feet,
Is inches; circumference of head, larg-
est place II inches; neck inches;
wrist 1 and one-half inches; leg just
above ankle 2 inches; point of big toe
to heel 2 and one-eighth inches; from
palm of one hand to the other Is in
ches: thumb, scant three-fourths of an
inch: middle finger 1 inch; point Of
shoulder to wrist inches. Its uncle
r. Cox took from his third finger ring
scant three-fourths Of an inch in d.
ameter and slipped 1t down over it's
hand and over the wrist and almost
to the largest part of its elbow. This
will convey some idea as to how deli
cate it is. 1t is the third child in the
family, it's sister Bonnie and brother
Joe being ordinary sized children. It's
name has not yet been decided upon.
Here's hoping that she will live long,
useful and happy life.

Spend All You Earn!

That idea about putting something
away for rainy day is all wrong.
Professor Simon N. Patten of the
University of Pennsylvania says so,
and he ought to know. He said it right
out loud recently and started no end
of argument throughout the country.
Not content with putting the rainy day
theory out of business, he said the only
way to live was to spend all you earn,
borrow all you can and then spend
that. Thousands Of persons in this
city who were following his advice be-
fore he gave it would be grateful If
the professor would forward the names
Of few persons who might stand for
a touch
"Forget about old age" is the sub
stance of his doctrine. "When you get
too old to work and too weak to bor-
row make the community take care of
you"
No getting away from the fact that
the professors platform sounds at
tractive. Go ahead and drag out the
old stocking and take your money on
a sightseeing trip. But before you do
so it might be well to reserve a place
in the bread line.-New York Herald.

She Wasn't Pretty Enough.

Sandansky's Grim Humor.

OF course they are accusing San
dansky OF blowing up 800 Turkish
prisoners in Saloniki. Maybe be did
1t. Sandansky is the big, bold Bull
garian brigand who captured Miss I'll
len Stone, the American missionary.
Sandansky doesn't call himself brig
and, but a patriot. His speciality for
years has been leading Bulgarian
bands In Macedonia in guerrilla war
fare against the Turks. He has killed
many Turks, but as he had to be care
full not to kill or injure Miss Stone and
thus destroy her ransom value he was
defenseless against her reproaches in
his own tongue. After about two days
he used to say: Here, boys, guard the
camp. 1 have some scouting to do"
Thus he would dodge scolding. Sam
dansky never could understand why
Miss Stone cherished any resentment
against him. To an English lady who
knows him well he once said: why
does she complain about our captur-
ing her? Didn't she come over here
to help us Christians? Well, she did
help us. The $4,000 we got for her

Photography as a Sculptor.

A scientist of Florence has invented
a process for producing bas reliefs by
photography. The basis of the inven-
ton is the property possessed by a
film of chromium gelatin of swelling
in proportion to the intensity of the
light falling upon it. The swelling is
greater with low than with high in
tensity, SO that the light passing
through a Photographic negative pro-
duces upon a chromium gelatin plate a
positive in distinct relief. The trans
parency Of an ordinary negative, how
ever. is not truly proportional to the
relief Of the original model, but by An
ingenious automatic device involving
double exposure this difficulty is
avoided, and a negative is obtained
having its lights and shades correctly
graded to produce the effect of relief

A Very Cute Eaker.

Enormous business has been done at
a French fair by a man selling rat
powder, sure death to rodents, but
harmless to human beings. In order to
convince the skeptical, the man first of
all powdered a slice of bread with the
stuff and ate a piece. The remainder
he put under a glass case, in which a
rat was kept in captivity. The rat went
to eat the bread and instantly fell dead.
At 10 cents box the powder sold at
furious rate, and the man was in fair
way to make his fortune when the po-
lice pounced on him. The powder was
found to be ordinary sugar, and they
also discovered that the case was con-
nected with a powerful electric bat
terry and that the moment the rat
touched the bread the current was
turned on, and it was thus his death
was brought about. The ingenious
faker was given a month in Jail, and
the business came to stop.

New Peacock Tail Embroidery.

Peacock embroidery has come much
to the fore of late, and with some de-
signers it is almost a fetish to intro
duce the "eye" Of a peacock's tail
feather into every scheme. There are
attractive cushion covers in coarse
holland crash, the peacock's tail de-
sign being worked In green, blue and
gold, which is most effective, while OBJ
longs and squares of this embroidery
make charming trays, the bottom be-
ing covered with glass. Instead of in
vesting a special tray for this purpose.

excellent plan is that of fitting the EN-
broidery like a photograph into an

CAMERA APRON.
1t Is Most Convenient For Carrying
Paraphernala.

1t Is Most Convenient For Carrying
Paraphernaia.
The camera apron was devised for
the convenient carrying Of camera
paraphernalia on out Of door trips. A
yard and quarter of gray denim were
used. The body of the apron was a
straight piece twenty-six inches long,
with strip eleven inches deep across
the bottom for pockets. The remain
ing eight inch strip of denim was cut
into three pockets, two of which were
placed above and one as patch pocket
over the middle of the lower row.
Tape was used for finishing the raw
edges Of the three pockets and served
also for dividing the eleven inch strip
into three more pockets. All raw edges
were finished with wide white tape
stitched twice. A facing Of thinner
cloth was sewed on top, and draw
strings were run through.
The pockets held plate holders, focus
cloth, chamois skin, record book, etc.
One upper pocket was lined with
chamois skin for the shutter, with bulb
and tubing which needed special pro-
lection. All pockets closed with a
snap at the top, and the whole was
folded completely when not in use.
For man this might be made with
out drawBtrings at the top, and it could
be folded and carried by shawl straps.
