The Emperor Francis Joseph cele- brated his S3d birthday at his sum mer residence, Ischl. surrounded by the members of his family including many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He is in remarkably good health, and begins work in his study every morn ing at o'clock, and by pressure of state business is not unseldom kept there all day. He gets an early morn ing walk and goes shooting each eve ming. He has taken the occasion to appoint the heir presumptive his nep- heW the Archduke Francis Ferdinand Inspector rGeneral of the United Arm ed Forces-that is, of both army and navy. The birthday was kept with festivities throughout the Austian Elm pire According to his custom, the German emperor gave a banquet at Homburg to celebrate the birthday.

Quite the largest crowd that ever jammed the streets about the county building heard the splendid program of the regimental band from the bal conN of the Ford hotel last evening. Sc popular was the program that many of the numbers were stren- uously encored, and one was repeated by urgent request made last sun day.
 The Rosary was the feature piece. played over at the request of the au- dience of last Sunday evening This is a splendid number which affords the band a chance to extend itself.
 A Hunting Scene" was another feature of the program an overture that brings out realism by the yard. An Indian war scene was another descriptive piece that took well.

OLDER THAN POOR RICHARDS Almanac About 2800 Years Older
 Written by Egyptian.

YOn have heard people say, As use less as q last years almanac" but an old almanac may be both valuable and interesting if it is only old enough. There is in the British Museum an all manac, 5000 years old-probably the oldest almanac in the world It was found in one of the buried tombs of Egypt: the owner must have valued it, since he had it buried with him.
 It is written on papyrus. in columns, and there are 9 pages well preserved. It's chief purpose was to inform it's owner whether each day was lucky CT unlucky for any sort of enterprise. Certainly it was not so important to know that a certain day was the 5th of Tobi. with a new moon and a pros pect Of rain. as to know that it was a day when you must not start on journey look at a rat wash yourself with water, or even go outdoors before daylight,
 This almanac was no brief yearly af- fair but was planned for four years and gave for that period the dates of the fixed and movable feasts of which the Egyptians had a great number It was issued for the four years following the 5Ith year of Harnesses the Great. The days are written in red ink. and each one is followed by three characters morning. day. evening, each with it's significant mark to denote prosperous indifferent. adverse the first sign is in black ink and the others in red. For example, the 18th of 10th is marked good good middling. with the caution Do not go outdoors in the evening"" the fortunate qualities of the day apparently declined with the sun And in another month is day of which it is declared "A child born on this day will die prince of the people "a much simpler way to choose the rulers of the nation than general l election

 l The day of all days to be born was l the fifth of Phamenoth the day of the 1 great feast in honor of Keith. the
 mohtr-god of Egypt Herodotus wrote l about that feast more than 2000 years
 ago. He calls it the Feast of Lamps. | when every house must be illuminated | The old almanac written 1000 years be- ! lore Herodotus names the day on which l the feast falls. and commend it as for 1 tunate for all manner of undertakings

BRYAN IS A HARD WORKER
Mrs. Willse Defends the Secretary of
 State.

There never seemed to be any question in Mr Wilson's mind as to whom he would make secretary of state. There was much doubting by the public and by the presidents advisers as to the wisdom Of it. Mr. Wilson was told that MT. Bryan would find it impossible to so smoth- CT his own ideas as to follow the presidents lead This was a place where the presidents capacity for recognizing a friend was invaluable. Many say that MT. Bryan is over ambitious; that he is inefficient in his work; that he negIects his office while he takes the chautauqua tour But MT. Wilson says that he has no more loyal adherent in the cabinet than MT Bryan; no one who so per sistently puts himself last; no one who is little insistent on patron age.
 The other members of the cabinet love him and speak of him as dear old Bryan" He more than anyone else made possible the holding to- gether Of the party and will make possible that passing of the presi- dents measures. He represents six million votes Mir Bryan has never been so great in his life as he has been in the cabinet, where he has made himself persistently second for the welfare of the president and the party Nor does anyone in the cab inet spend more hours at his job than does MT. Bryan. He is at his office twelve to fourteen hours day and the work of the department of state. contrary to popular report. is all completed to date. Not for several administrations has any secretary of state given the time to his work that has MT. Bryan.-Honore Wilsie in Harpers Weekly

fractions that come along ever stop to
realize. the great amount OF care and

comedy. Take for instance "Mcfad'

here at the Auditorium on Sept

production. Hundreds Of vaudeville
acts had to be looked over to secure
the ores that can play the various
parts assigned them and at the same
time please the patrons of the theater'
Then there is the costuming, weeks are
spent in selecting the beautiful gowns
A great amount of care must be taken
in color effects, so that to the eye
it appears on presentation a sight to
be remembered. These are only a few
of the many things to take into con
sideration and The greatest reward the
management gets is that the show has
been the standard bearer OF SUCCESS
for many years. That is record nc
other show on the road today can lay
claim to. Each season brings more
laurels to the "McFadden's Flats

VOTE ON THE LIGHT PLANT

Next Tuesday September eth is the
tay set for the submission OF the qles'
tin of the installation of municipal
Electric Light Plant to the voters OF
the town.
The time has long passed when it
was necessary to argue the benefits OF
a Light Plant 10 a town. All progress
sive towns OF any size have plant as
a matter of course.
Electric light not only affords a direct
benefit to the citizens OF the town, put
there is an added indirect benefit that
comes as a result.
In the first place the lights on the
street ard in the store is one OF the
surest advertisements for town.
The travelling mans attention is first
caught by the streets we'll lighted

tablished. Property values in. the
neighborhood of the town which main.
tainS these modern c0nveniences are
always enhanced.
In addition to this the question OF
safety against fire is very important.
There is no question but that the
danger from fire is very largely
diminished by the elimination of the
oil lamp in the home and store, and
this fact is a very important consider
alton in the matter.
But there seems to be practically a
unanimous sentiment in favor OF the
plant. 1t is not a question of carrying
the election in favor of the proposition
but it is the desire to have the propo'
Sition carried dis nearly unanimously as
possible. This town has always stood
together on every question looking to
progress. When the question for the
creation of the school district was
presented several years ago involving
a large territory was submitted to a
vote, we are informed that not single
dissenting vote was cast, and so on
every proposition which marks a pro.
gresSiVe movement, the people have
unanimously stood together This is
good. It shows the spirit of the
people.
There is no question but that Welsh
ought to have the light plant and the
voters will no doubt so express them.
selves in favor of it unanimously at the
polls.
The plan contemplates the extension
of the plant so as to afford lights to
at least IS per cent of the population
so that there can be no suggestion of
opposition on the ground that many OF
the people will not get lights.
