Mothers Number.

Mothers Number.
Uncle Jack, who was visiting them for
the Christmas holidays from the West,
wished to talk to Elizabeth's father at his
Office. He could not find the telephone
directory and thus appealed to three
year-old Elizabeth for information re-
garding the phone number: ''Eliz-
abeth, what does mother ask for when
she talks to Daddy at his officer he
inquired.
Elizabeth was wise for her age.

moNARcHs LITTLE MEN.

Although the popular notion Of king
ly authority is associated with men
of imposing stature, the fact is that
little men rule among kings and have
always done so. Emperor William of
Germany is so small that he wears
high hats and thicksoled shoes when
he walks, and uses high saddles when
he rides, to give the impression of
height. Contrary to the conception
of the Russians, the czar is hardly
taller than Emperor William. King
Oscar of Norway and Sweden is of
medium build, and King Victor En-.
manuel of Italy is frail and slight. The
sultan of Turkey is less than average
stature. Alexander, who sighed for
more worlds to conquer, was small,
and so was Napoleon, the little cor.
poral. Richard III was hunchback.
King Edward was only feet inches
tall. General Grant was only of me.
dunn height, and Lord Roberts, affec-
tionately known as "Bobs," was feet
in height.

The Powerful Grant Six

The Power Garage. agent for the
Grant Six in this territory, is in
receipt of a letter from the Grant
Motor company telling of an extra
ordinary feat performed by the
Grant Six at Denver under the
auspices of the Denver Post.
AS everyone in motor circles
knows, the Hill of Despair" just
outside of the city of Denver is the
Jonah" for most automobilists.
1t is SO steep and SO long that
practically all cars are forced to
negotiate it on low gear. Mulnix
& Rarie started out to demon
strate that the Grant Six was one
of the most flexible and powerful
six-cylinder cars in the world.
And they proved this to the satis-
faction of Denverites.
Just prior to going over to the
Hill of Despair" by way of
practice and to show what the ear
could do in city, the car was first
put through few stunts esueh as
accelerating from a standing start,
going through three gears and
making the twenty-five mile. an

A Large Majority For Lozier

From Huntsville Herald.
While in Carroll county this
week we tried to ascertain the con-
gressional situation in that portion
of the district and to that end
interview many of those attending
court, both democrats and republi-
cans from Carroll, Linn and Sulli-
van counties. We found fully
three fourths of the democrats and
many republicans were for Ralph
Lozier for congress; many of these
spoke in praise of Mr.. Lozier as a
citizen, lawyer, courteous christian

fiat; driving down a six per cent
grade with full load, turning
around at the bottom and driving
up again without changing gears;
running in high and necessarily
starting at the bottle of the hill by
reason of a sharp turn, at seven
miles an hour and finishing at
seventeen miles an hour at the top;
driving down the hill again with
five passengers and turning around
and driving up again, all the way
at five miles an hour on high gear,
Then just to show that this was
not a real test of the Grant Six
quality, but easy work for it, the
car was driven out to the Hill of
Despair" which even the highest
priced cars find it difficult to
negotiate in second gear, a grade
so steep that no brakes will hold
a car, and after making the grade
in second gear with ease, R. G.
Mulnix, who was driving the car,
conceived the idea of driving it on
high gear. After two attempts
with the full load of passengers,
Mr.. Mulnix unloaded the car aud,
with himself at the wheel, success
fully negotiated the grade on high
gear, breaking all records on this
hill. This was done in the pres
ence Of representatives of the Dem
YER Post and other motor en-
thusiasts, creating a big stir in
motor circles.
Since the Grant Six made the
test, during the past four weeks
many other cars have attempted to
equal the record without success.

Here and There

The regular February term of
probate court will convene at Lin
neus next Monday.
VIM. Harry Young and Miss
Alta Baker, both of Meadville,
were married at the court house in
Chillicothe last Tuesday.
County court was in session at
Linneus last Monday. But little
business was transacted aside from
making the usual allowances.
Fulton and Maryville are now
listed among the more progressive
towns of the state, each having
recently voted out the saloons by
substantial majorities.
Chillicothe has a rock pile where
it keep those who are arrested and
unable to pay their fines, busy
during the cold weather. Chilli
cothe being a wet town has plenty
of converts to the new addition to
its street department.

Instead Of Saying

to yourself, Il wish I were
in Dixie" why don't you go
South this winter? The cost
is low-perhaps not as much
as you thought it would be.
The resorts are numerous
and Burlington service is
better than ever. When it
is cold and disagreeable in
the North, it is positively de-
in the South, and
those who have been fortu-
nate enough to go there are
luxuriating in it's exotic at
mosphere, without a single
thought of furnace fires and
the constant menace of catch
ing cold. A winters vaca-
tion in that romantic, his
toric and beautiful land

good than a barrel of medi-
cine. Drop in and see me

In England the punishment of the
stocks has been inflicted within the
memory of men now living. In the
Manchester Guardian of June IA, 1872,
there is an account of man enduring
this form of punishment at Newbury.
He was a rag and bone dealer of in.
temperate habits and was fixed in the
stocks for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. "Twenty-six years had
elapsed since the stocks were last
used" states this account, "and their
temperance created no little sensa.
tion and amusement several hundreds
of persons being attracted to the spot
where they were fixed" The "amuse
ment" does not appear to have been
shared by the prisoner. who was re.
leased after four hours and seemed
anything but pleased with the laughter
and derision of the crowd"

Maeterlinck, in a beautiful article
in the Figaro, tells us, reiterating the
message Of the blue Bird" ''the dead
do not die" One sees the loss of so
many young existences, and one is
struck with the feeling of despair
that such fine energies and such hopes
should come to naught. Never has
there been such a waste of human
treasure. For more than twelve
months, on all the battlefelds, the
bravest, the most ardent, the most de-
voted have died. But, declares the
Belgian master, the virtues of the
heroes cannot die. Perhaps their hero
ism enters into us, as the pagans
thought. In any case, nothing is lost
that is his teaching; we are the rich.
er for their precious sacrifice.

opposite, which were in great danger
were prevented from catching. The
house and barn owned by Mr.. Young
were totally destroyed, valued at some
$500 and covered by insurance. Mr.
Young was at home at the time, sit

the alarm and found his house in
flames The cause is unknown. He
was planning to leave for New York
and Atlantic City the latter part of
the week to join Mrs. Young, who left
few days ago. and the house had been

had an option on buying it. The prop

Rabbits and the War.

We have watched the price Of flour
grow and the size Of the loaf shrink,
and they told us the war did it. We
have seen bacon and ham and salt
pork climb steadily up the price ladder
and they said it had to be because so
much meat was going to feed the fight
ing men. 1t used to be that 10 cents
would buy a big plate of beans any
where, and beans, as every one knows,
are mighty filling" But the allied
| agents came and secured the country
for beans, and scooped them up by the
carload and sent them across for SOL
diers' rations, and now the Decent
portion Of beans has shrunk from big
platter to little side dish such as they
! used to put the prunes in.

that you can go out anywhere on
cold day when there's snow on the
ground and scare two or three out o.

iarly our own, and the war would new

other item is about another cargo go

vet to come:

pecially Kansas and the other plains
