JUST A BOYS IDEA.
It Made the Invention of the Reapine
Machine Success.

In 1880 Obed Hussey of Ohio was in
venting a reaping machine. the first
ever designed in this country. His
chief difficulty was the cutting device,
which was three large sickles set in
frame and revolved so as to cut into
the grain. 1t would not work satisfac-
torily.
A young son, watching the expert
ments, asked his father why he did not
use lot of big scissors, with one ham
die fastened to one bar and the other
handle TO a sliding bar. thus opening
and closing them
Hussey instantly adopted the idea.
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are in common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that Of
scissors.
From the boys suggestion he per-
fected In one week a machine on which
he had in vain exercised all his in
genuity for the preceding two years.
The principle of that cutting device Is
the principle of all of the great harvest
ing machines. and Its benefit to the
farming industry of the entire world
has been unsurpassed by any other in
vention for use on the farm.-George
r. Stratton. in st. Nicholas.

Dudley Field Malone, the new col
lector of customs at the port of New
York, was third assistant secretary Of
state when named for the more impor-
tant Office. He succeeds John Purroy
Mitchell, recently elected mayor of
New York city. Mr.. Malone was one
of the original Wilson men. He ac-
companied the president on many Of
his prediction trips and made many
speeches in his behalf. He was prom
inent on Mr.. Wilson's behalf at the
Baltimore convention and shortly after
Mr.. Wilson's election was appointed
by the president to the department Of
state. At that time Mr.. Malone was
assistant corporation counsel Of New
York.
Mr.. Malone was born in New York
city thirty-three years ago. He was
graduated from st. Francis Xavier's
college in 1905 and from the Fordham
law school two years later. Following
his admission to the bar he practiced
law until appointed assistant corpora
tion counsel by the late Mayor Gaynor.
In 1908 Mr.. Malone married Miss
Mary O'Gorman, daughter Of United
States Senator O'Gorman of New
York. Mr.. Malone is an orator of
ability and will doubtless be a promi-
nent figure in the Democratic party of
New York

A FURTHER REVIEW
OF "InSide The Cup" To Be Given By
Rev. Wm. {. Hull

On account of the largeness of the
subject and the many questions involv-
ed and the limitations of the time,
many points were either lightly touch
ed or wholly omitted in the discourse
upon this subject by Rev. w. e. Hull
at st. Paul's church last Sunday even
ing. The subject will be continued
next Sunday evening, and the rector of
st. Paul's will show wherein the book
of Mr.. Churchill does not correctly por-
tray the attitude of the Episcopal
church at the present day on the ques-
tions of social service, in the light of
the commissions and public utteranc-
es of the General Convention recently
held in the city of New York.

Many years ago maid employed by
Miss Lundberg n famous dancer of the
Royal Opera In Stockholm, was given
holiday by her mistress and set out
10 take n walk. Passing a shabby little
house In the poorest section of the city
she heard childs voice, which seem
ed to her wonderfully fresh and beauti-
full, and, looking up, she saw II little
girl sitting near the window singing to
a pet kitten. In great excitement she
rushed to her mistress and told her of
the exquisite voice she had heard.
Miss Lundberg was somewhat skep-
teal, but finally went to the house and
heard the sweet song. She. too was
convinced of the great natural beauty
of the chlld's voice and reported 1t to
Croellus, the singing master of the
opera.
Croellus was also somewhat skepti-
cal AZ first but at Miss Lundberg's re-
quest he, too, went and. standing on
the sidewalk. heard the child sing.
Enraptured In turn, he told Count
Buke, manager of the Royal opera, and
arrangements were made by which the
little girl sang for the count

And Robbed Of All Clothing
He Had On
COIOfGd Man Arrested And
Made A Full Confession

Stephen Lafever of South Vernon
was terribly beaten up by colored
man by the name of Earl Williams
while riding a freight train from Utl-
ca to Mt. Vernon on Thursday after
noon. After beating Lafever nearly
into unconsciousness, Williams
stripped him of all his clothing, even
to his underclothes. Lafever was
found by the train crew as the train
came into Mt. Vernon. The police
were notified, but in the meantime
the colored man had made his es-
cape Lafever was removed to his
home in South Vernon where his con-
dition is said to be quite serious. He
received several blows over the head
and both eyes are swollen shut where
the colored man kicked him after he
had knocked him down several times.
After taking Lafever's clothing, Will
lams tied his hands and feet and
stuffed paper into his mouth.
Lafever gave the police good des-
cription of the colored man and short
ly before 8 o'clock he was placed
under arrest by Officer Alsdorf at the
Pennsylvania station as he was about
to take a train to Columbus.
At first Williams denied all know
ledge of the affair, but later confessed
to Sheriff Woolison in the Knox
county jail He will be given a hear
ing in police court just as soon as
Lafever is able to appear against
him. Williams stated that his home
was in Mt. Vernon He is about 20
years Of age.
A charge of assault with intent to
rob was placed against Williams in
the court Of Mayor Perrine Friday

waived examination and was bound ov-
er to the grand jury. His bond was
fixed at 81 900. In default of the same
he was sent back to the Knox county
Jail.

ter and they would spread in large
places. In q short time they would
open. Her scalp was awfully red and
infiamed and the burning and itching
were so intense that she would scratch
and rub till it would leave ugly sores.
The sores also appeared on her body,
and her clothing irritated them so
that l had to put real soft cloth next

FR0CK COAT OF THE PAST
Seems to Have Been Relegated to OBJ
IivIon After Its Long Period Of
~ Popularity.

The long coat with the tails enjoyed
long period of popularity. 1t marked
for years the man who was doing the
correct thing from the point Of view
of dress, whether he were at we'd
ding or funeral, an afternoon recep-
tion or college commencement. The
change in mems fashions that drove
the frock coat out of it's exclusive
place was particularly discouraging to
owners of this enduring garment.
Frock coats have been known to pass
from one generation to another.
There has now been erected by far
seeing tailors such compromise that
the frock Is not after all destined to
disappear from the wardrobe Of the
well dressed man. 1t will, however, be
regarded only as the appropriate coat
of we'll dressed men of a certain class.
The stock broker or the real estate
magnate. If they would follow fashion,
must be seen in the coat described
abroad as the morning coat and here
as the cutaway. 1t is to much more
serious class of men the frock coat is
dedicated.
Statesmen, bankers, lawyers and
ministers, in the words of the discrim-
mating sartorial journal which has sag
gested this new and dignified use Of
the frock coat, are the men who will
in the future find it the last word in
style. Thus is the frock not only pre-
served to manhood but 1t is destined
to more distinguished and glorified
fate.

MADE A VICTORY FOR "SENCE'
Farmer Most cIeverIy outwitted, and
Then Insult Was Added
to Injury.

Two large orchards, side by side,
brought much profit to Farmer Tur'
nut. and much trouble. For the or
chards we're considered fair game by
the youth of the village, and two
orchards are harder to watch than
one.
One day, looking from one orchard
to the other, Turmut saw a small boy
shin down tree, and uttering word
of warning to another imp still up
among the apples, ran off.
Turmut reached that tree in record
time.
Got yer this time!" he roared to
the boy almost hidden among the
leaves. Come down."
Getting no answer, and not being
in hurry, he sat down and waited.
Time passed, and still he waited,
until a servant brought him note
that had just been dropped through
the letterbox. He did not wait after
he had read it, as follows:
Some people as apples, some as
sence. You bin watchin a pare of
trowsis stuffed with straw, and we
bin gettin' your apples from the other
orchard. Crate victory for sence!"

SOMETHING OF A REFLECTION
Teacher Had a Right to Be Some
what Annoyed at the Small
Girls Remark.

The teacher in one of the public
schools encourages her pupils to offer
suggestions when one of them Is al
the blackboard and needs help. She
believes that this is better than ap-
pealing to the teacher.
The class was studying the division
of decimals. The teacher had taught
her pupils that when they had a sum
in division it is sometimes necessary
to add ciphers on the right of the
decimal point to carry the process out
far enough. The little girl at the
board wished to divide 20 by 5.5 and
she did not know how to proceed.
"The teacher says to put some
nothings after the twenty" spoke up
one Of the class.
Where does the teacher get the
nothings?" asked the girl who was
doing the dividing.
"Out of her head" spoke up the
informant, with no thought of the
hidden meaning in the words.
