The top of Wednesdays market was

load of his own feeding that displayed
the feeders ability by the rrice they
brought. The string consisted Of "
head that averaged 1916 pounds and
sold for $10.25 per cwt.
Mr.. Harrison conditioned these steers
in his W feed lots and the condition
of the cattle showed that the handler
was a man of rare ability, which be-
yond doubt he is, as he is considered
one of the largest and best feeders of
the county. He was well pleased with
the sale.-Live Stock Reporter,

Concerning Fire.

There are different kinds of fire,
Have you ever wondered why the
flame of the kitchen stove is blue, why
the open gas jet and the incandescent
electric bulb shed yellow light, why
the gas mantle shines white and why
the electric arc is blue. especially
when you see it burning in the day
time? The source of the light is diff
ferent.
The old fashioned gas jet and the
incandescent bulb shine because the
carbon Tor tungsten) in them is more
than red hot. The difference is that
the thin wire of carbon Tor something
else) in the bulb is heated by electric
ity and the fine carbon dust of the
open flame Gt is called SCOT when it's
cold, is heated by the blue fame.
The yellow gas flame is not nearly so
hot as the blue. That is why you
should not turn up the gas too high
when you are cooking things on the
kitchen range.
The gas mantle is white because the
fabric is heated to a great degree by
a blue flame inside, much like that of
the kitchen stove, and very hot. The
electric arc shines with the light from
intensely hot carbon, but mostly from
the oxygen of the air, which is raised
to a white heat by the passage Of cleo
tricity between the two carbOns.

Whitewash.

The following formula for white
wash has been recommended by the
United States department of agricul
lure:
Take half a bushel of unslaked lime
slake it with boiling water and cover
during the process to keep in steam
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve
Or strainer and add to it peck of salt
previously dissolved in warm water.
three pounds of ground rice boiled to a
thin paste and stirred in while hot,
half a pound of Spanish whiting and
Dne pound of clean glue previously
dissolved by soaking in cold water
and then hanging over a slow fire in a
small pot hung In a larger one filed
with water. Add five gallons Of hot
water to the mixture. stir well and let
It stand few days covered from dirt.
II should be applied hot. for which
purpose It can be kept in a kettle or
a portable furnace. Coloring matter
may be added as desired. Where a
less durable whitewash will answer
the above may be modified by leaving
out the whiting and glue.

A Fish Story.

1t was down in South Carolina that
Mr.. HERS went fishing. He had just
caught a fish and pulled it up out of
the water when an eagle, which seem
ed to be hungry, swoOped down and
made bite at the catch. Mr.. HERS
yelled and swung his arm, and the
eagle tapped aside, but its wing
caught in the hook that had already
caught the fish. So Mr.. HERS killed
the bird after a fight and carried 1t
home to exhibit it in triumph to won
dering neighbors. 1t measured nearly
six feet from tip to tip of the wings.

SAVINGS About Apples.

There are a great many people who
are fond of apples, and it is right that
they should be, as this lovely autumn
fruit is not only good to the taste, but
wholesome to eat. Long, long ago our
ancestors made up this little rime
about apples:
Eat an apple going to bed,
Make the doctor beg his bread
The Danes had a saying, THE rot
ten apple spoils its companion" re-
minder of the fact that evil is easily
spread. Another saying connected
with this fruit was, HE goes from
apple to apple till he gets a crab"
This meant that persons who are over
particular in choosing are apt to select
just what they do not like; the crab
means the crab apple. which is usually
sour and harsh.

her interests, were many and
widespread. She was the first
president of the Associated
Charities, Inc, of Big Stone
Gap, and when the state of her
health made it impossible for
her to carry out the active
duties of the office, abe was
made honorary president. She
gave with an open. handed
generosity to the support of
every worthy cause, aud was
kecnly interested in everything
that pertained to civic better
ment. No beggar was ever
turned away from her door
empty-handed, and the needy
found in her II quick and ready
sympathy and instant material
aid.
Mrs. Bullitt was noted for her
hospitality, and she exerted a
far-reaching influence. 1t has
been truly said of her that she
possessed more true public
spirit than half the voting popu-
lation of Big Stone Gap. She
always loved this the home of
her adoption and would never
consent to go elsewhere in
search of health and strength.
Here, day by day for five long
years she fought back the in
siduous advances of tubercu-
losis with n high courage which
held death itself at bay by the
sheer force of her unconquera-
bic spirit.
She did not fear death, but
she did not want to die and all
that medical science could avail
was done for her, and possessing
to the last the unquestioning
loyalty aud beautiful devotion
of her husband and family, she
was an INDUCED and adored in
valid whose every whim was
gratified.
Seated ON the porch in her
favorite little chair Friday
morning with her faithful
nurse, Miss Elizabeth Borch-
arding, directing the affairs
of her household with her

came to her suddenly in a

stilled her weakened heart for
ever.

Mrs. Wilson
After Brave Battle for Life
Dies at White House

Washington, Aug. 6.-Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
President OF the United States,
died at the White House at 5
O'Clock this afternoon. Death
came after n brave struggle of
months against Bright's di-
sease, with complications.
The President was completely
unnerved by the shock and his
grief was heart-rendering. He
bore up we'll under the strain,
however, and devoted himself
to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs.
Wilson was unconscious. Her
illness took "A turn for the worse
shortly before one o'clock this
afternoon and from then on she
gradually grew weaker.

end were the President and
their three daughters. DR..

Both Houses of Congress adj
journed when Mrs. Wilson's
death was announced, and for
a brief time the wheels of the
government virtually stopped.
The beginning of the end
came at 10 O'Clock this morning
when DR.. T.. Z. Davis, of Phila
delphia, who had been called
for consultation, realized the
time for hope had passed. He
took the President into the red
room and there, in broken
voice, told him the truth. Mr..
Wilson'S face blanched, but he
bore the shock we'll. He was
informed the end was a question
of hours.
Daughters Informed
Mr.. Wilson then took his
daughters, Mrs. McAdoo, Mrs.
Sayre and Mrs. Margaret vii

then they had thought there

| The President held his wife's
hand, and the three daughters
were grouped nearby. Until
she became unconscious, Mrs.
Wilson frequently nodded to
one or the other and smiled
cheerfully.
During the day Mrs. Wilson
spoke to DR., Grayson about the
President, of whose health she
thought more than she did her
own.
Thought OF Husband
"Promise me, "she whispered.
that if go, you will take care
of my husband" it was the
same touch of devotion which
she had so many times repeated
her constant anxiety having
been that the President might
not worry about her or be dis
turbed in official tasks.
The President returned to the
sick room from the last con.
ference with the doctor, his
three daughters leaning on his
arm. Francis Bowes Sayre and
Secretary McAdoo, and Secre-
tary Tumulty stayed outside the
door Mrs. Wilson lapsed into
Inconsistencies, but rallied
BY one O'Clock she began to
sink rapidly. She still could
recognize those about her, and
looked cheerfully toward them
and smiled.
The End Comes
At O'Clock Mrs. Wilson was
conscious, but her strength
almost had deprrted and II few
minutes later she sank into the
sleep of unsonsciousness from
which she never awoke.
