would take a drop.
"A total of $334OOO,O0O worth OF oats is
raised annually in our country. The
horse eats the most OF it. II this oat-
raising land could be utilized, there would
be millions OF bushels of potatoes and

the cars stood up well under the severe

Although there were a few penalties
incurred Oh the road, most OF the black

was concerned, all the ears came
through clearly. There was only one

MA HAS ONE HOOKED

Congratulations to Mrs. William
Draper of Washington, now doing
Paris. For some time Mrs. Draper
has had a daughter, Margaret, who
is possessed of 100000 in her own
right. Mrs. Draper carefully scanned
the eIigibles of the United States and
Great Britain, but decided there was
none among them fit to husband
Margaret. None of them was quite
"nobleman" enough. Those who
were ''nobleman" to the desired ex-
tent didn't seem to be attracted to
the point of taking Maggie and her
Doodle.
1t is pretty tough to have a S5,-
100000 manageable daughter with
no titles biting, and so Mrs. Draper
shook the soil of America and Eng
land from her feet, or skirts, and
put the daughter up in France. Her
wisdom was justified, for Compile de
la Tour D'AUvergne is hooked. It is
a great load of Mrs. Diapers mind.
Comprising in France is not hard
work and there are still lot Of peo-
pie in France who have almost as
much respect for a comptess as they
have for a washWoman.

JUST FOR CONTRAST

The air with frost a-tingle,
And from our coy ingle
We look out on the snow.
There's ice up on the river,
The passing people shiver,
The mercury doth culver
& At zero or below.
We hear the sidewalks creaking,
ST The chill winds moaning, shrieking,
gratefully we're seeking
SD The comfort of the fire.
ITO keep the furnace nav full
Makes coal bills simply awful

To raise the prices higher!
The water pipes are freezing,

We find the fact displeasing
That we must sniff and cough.

MORE YEARS TO TRAVEL.

Philadelphia, Dec. 16.-Replying to a
question put by a clergyman at the
weekly meeting of Presbyterian minis
tiers, Eric Doolittle, director, of the
University of Pennsylvania astron-
omical observatory, said he thought
that life on this earth would come to
an end in about 100000 years.
Prof. Doolittle had been making an
address on Astronomy" In refer
ence to the end of the earths life he
said.
'Unless some supernatural power or
being interferes or the earth comes in
contact with another planet or heaven
ly body, the earth will exist for 49,
100000 more years.
THE earth is dependent upon the
sun for it's heat and light, although the
earth now contains some heat itself
When the sun eventually cools off the
result will be darkness and cold, which
will bring an end to all life, animal and
vegetable"

Attachments to cover the amounts
asked and the costs of the proceedings
have been placed on the Eddy property

Gen. Frank S. Streeter, counsel for
Mr.. Fernald, said that the filing of the
suits was a surprising proceeding be-
cause he commended both Glover and
Eddy, In consideration Of large sums
received while Mrs. Eddy was alive,
released under the seal all claims to
these legacies, and agreed that their
interests had been fully satisfied and
that they never would make claim
against the estate.
