PAW PAW BOY
SOME INVENTOR

Mr.. Latshaw, high school instructor,
uffers from the bacllus:that made Da.
rius Green famous; or, rather, he is en-
joying it, and so are his young admirers
and he has.many ofstheses:: among the
school folk, for he is the manual training
teacher. He recently finished motor
sleigh, and the last two Saturdays found
him out on the streets testing the ma
chine. The fret Saturday hesthought it
safer outside the city limits, so went out
the Paw Paw road for the trial. Last
Saturday he had it in control we'll enough
so that he stayed on the city streets-or
did most of the time. Once when be
went of ne dented the cement curbing
near the Burgess store, but did no damage
to the "chaise." His sleigh is made OF
thick pieces of lumber, and motorcycle
engine transmits power by means OF
bicycle chains to wheel that has sharp
prongs on the rim. The prongs dig into
the ground and propel the sleigh. The
apparatus possesses sufficient travelling
power to attract a crowd of youngsters
whenever and wherever it appears.-Al-

WHO CONSTITUTE
ABSENT VOTERS

n The absent voters law provides for
four classes of persons who come under
it's provisions and only those who may
be considered as coming within the
terms of one of these classes are entitled
to vote as absent voters.
lst-Any elector ia the actual military
or naval service Of the United States or
OF this state, or 10 the army or navy
thereof, in time of war and rebellion"
members OF the legislature
while 10 attendance at any session OF
=the legislature.
3rd-"Students while in attendance at
any institution of learning"
\ 4th-"Commercial travellers"
The term Commercial Travellers is
defined by the statute "a person en-
gagged in soliciting the sale of goods, by
the exhibition OF samples, or by catalog
or other device, for the purpose OF effect
ing such sales and taking orders for
goods 20 be subsequently shipped by his
employer"
1t will be observed by the foregoing
quotations from the statute that, not
every person who is absent from his vot-
-irg precinct on election day is entitled
to cast IA ballot~as an absent voter. In
deed the number of persons so entitled
is quite limited. For instance, persons
spending time ia southern resorts, or
elsewhere, and not coming within the
provisions Of the statuteIas above quoted
canr OF be classed as absent voters, and
even those persons who are absent from
their places of residence as employees
ia the civil service of the state or OF the
United States do not come within the
provisions of the statute.

FIX HIS NAME AND FACE.
Recipe Of . Politician For Remember
ing His Acquaintance.

Recipe Of q Politician For Remember
ing His Acquaintance.
In the American Magazine a writer
says:
MY acquaintance was large, and
was not only embarrassed. but annoyed
and hurt, by my failure TO remember
much more prominent men.
Zone day In hotel lobby a member
of congress from my state. who had
been In congress for ten years. spoke
to me heartily, and as | shook hands
with him l committed the unpardon-
able error Of asking him who he was.
He happened TO be a man OF good
sound common sense. as well as a good
politician. and here is what he said to
ed corner:
Remembering new acquaintance
Is habit quite easily formed. There
are $4,000 voters In my district, and
| can speak to four-fifths Of them
by their first names. Ordinarily, when
you are introduced to a man or when
you see him at distance, you hear his
name. but your mind is on something
else. When his name Is pronounced
to me have firm grip on his hand and
am looking at the color of his eyes
with my whole power Of mind focused
on that one combination of name and
face. If the thing is done faithfully
there is not one chance in hundred
that anything can blot out the memory
in ten years.

Good news bears repeating ana
when it is onfirned after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitate to
believe it at first hearing, we feel &C.

following experience of Paw Paw
woman is confirmed after six years:
Mrs H. S. Harris, LaGrave and
Pine streets, Paw Paw, says: II suf-
fered for long time with lame ana
aching back. My back tired easily,
had no comfort in sitting or lying
down. So severe were the pains in
my back that at times they kept me
awake nights. tried many different
medicines. but none gave me any re-
lief until 1 procured Doan's kidney
Pills at Longwell Bros drug store.
They cured me and have never felt
any return of the trouble" State
ment given Nov. 3, l9l6)

GlLDED LINES.
A Feature of Native Festivals and
Feasts In South India.

A Feature of Native Festivals and
Feasts In South India.
Instead of exchanging cards the well
to do natives of southern India show
their esteem on New Years day by
presenting TO their friends lines COW
cred with brass leaf, or in some cases
with gold leaf. As the natives have
several New Years days of their own
in addition TO the special ones Of the
English. the Mohammedans and the
Tamil and Telugu branches Of the
Hindus. the gilded lines are passed
around rather frequently. The custom
is a purely local one, and it had its
origin so far back that no one re-
members when or why it was started.
In addition to the New Years festi-
walls gilded lines are sometimes pre-
sented to the host at the ordinary
"tamash" or social gathering. If q ma
tive is too poor to afford gilded lines,
not to mention gold covered ones, he
gives plain, undecOrated ones.
1t is said that a great quantity of
brass leaf is used for decorating lines
for these special occasions, and the
bazaar trade in this kind of gilt is very
large throughout the southern part of
India. Brass leaf is sold also for the
decoration of gilded caps. or ''topi,"
worn by the Mohammedans in that
part of India. as well as for ornament
ing the dress of the Mohammedan wo-
men.-New York Herald.

PREACHING Monkeys.

The author of THE History Of Bra.
zil'' tells Of a species Of monkey called
preachers" Every morning and eve
ming these monkeys assemble in the
woods. One takes a higher position
than the rest and makes signal with
his forepaw. At this signal the others
sit around him and listen. When they
are all seated he begins to utter Sc
ries Of sounds. When he stops these
cries he makes another signal with bis
paw, and the others cry out until he
makes a third signal. upon which they
become silent again. This author. Mr.
Maregrove. asserts that he was a wit
ness to these preachings.
