oXO BoUILLoN CUBES.

Are American women getting the
Bouilon Cube habit? The enormous
sale of this product would seem to indi-
cate that they are. Several millions Of
Oxo Bouillon Cubes are now sold annu-
ally. In their production the Liebig
Company maintains herds of high-grade
stock, totaling over $780, head, on
ranches covering over five million acres
an area larger than the entire state of
Massachusetts of some of the best cattle
country in the world.
The American housewife seems to
appreciate the fact that no matter how
small her claims to the art of cooking,
she can make, with these OXo Cubes,
delicious bouillon, prepared by some of
the worlds best chefs, and that too in a
minutes time.
Almost every druggist and grocer in
the country now finds strong demand
among his patrons for Oxo Bouillon
Cubes. adv.

RIPToN.

Mrs. Martha Kemp has just finished
knitted rug that is eighty inches in
diameter and contains every conceivable
color in about every possible combina-
ton. Should she sell it for ten dollars
it is doubtful if she would receive
twenty-five cents day for her labor.
We hear that Willard W. Fisher sus-
tanned shock of paralysis ON the 9Th
inst. and is in a helpless condition, and
that the attending physician gives no
hope of recovery. 1t appears that Mr.
Fisher went to the barn, a few rods from
the house for the purpose of doing
chores. After being gone some two hours
Mrs, Fisher became alarmed, went to the
barn and found him unconscious and
thoroughly chilled, it being a very cold
day. Help was obtained and he was
removed to the house, where he re-
ceived the needed care. Mr.. Fisher is
over seventy years of age and has been
in poor health for several years, his
army service of nearly year and a half
in Co. II, nth VT, being partially re-
sponsible for his condition.
The ice in the streams, that had
formed in the first part of the week,
went down stream the night of the 18th

Parties here are pretty certain that
they heard the whistle of blue bird on
the mo rning of the 18th inst.
The rain of the night of the 18th and
following morning took away the two
inches of snow. sleet and ice we had,
but the snowfall of the 18th replaced a
part of it to the amount of about an
inch.
Willard w. Fisher died in the after.
noon of the 18th inst. The funeral is set
for one o'clock p. m. of the 18th at the
house and interment in the Cushman

The Ros ary.

Whatever else may be said of Row
land and Chfford's new production,
1.-The Rosary" which comes to the
local opera house on Wednesday, Janu-
airy 20, the charge of imitation of other
plays cannot be made. The Rosary
virtually breaks new ground in the
dramatic field and should prove verit-
able surprise when the curtain rises
upon it. The play is built upon a
thoroughly modern theme, viz the
influence of thought upon the lives and
well being of the men and women OF
our present day. That thought, in
tangible and eVanescent as it is, is still
force, power, a theory that has fOl
sometime past engaged the serious at
tention of our foremost psychologists,
but its portrayal upon the stage has
been neglected heretofore. The
Rosary" attacks the theme boldly, il
deals with the lives and fortunes of q
little group of people living in the West
Chester country near New York city
the husband is a disbeieVer i'm all re-
ligion, his wife a women of serious con
viction regarding faith in the things OF
lie unseen. Strong in his belief anC
thoroughly human, a priest move.
through the subtle story of the play
when doubts come and the man anC
woman's lives are shattered, seemingly
beyond human power to repair, this
priest analyses the situation and by the
power of his faith brings both the peo
Pile whom he loves back to happiness
Mingled with the darker colors of hu
man tragedy is vein of naturIu
comedy evolved from the events which
occur during the action.
