Shrewd PURCHASING,

Little seven-year-old Fred, who lives
in one of Zanesville's suburbs, hac
been ailing and his mother decided
that he needed a dose of castor oil.
Fred was told that If he were tc
take the castor Oil without complaint
he would get cents to spend for can
dy.
Then his mother sent him to the cor.
,ner drug store with Is cents-10 cents
for the oil and cents for candy.
Arriving at the drug store, Fred de-
cided to buy the sweetmeats first, and
told the clerk that he wanted nickers
worth of candy.
"What kind of candy do you want?''
asked the clerk.
Gimme the kind you get the most
for a Nickel" answered Fred
The clerk complied, and then Fred
said, rather reluctantly:
"Now gimme some castor oil.

TWAIN MADE PAPER FAMOUS
Virginia City Enterprise, Now Defunet,
Printed Some of the Best Work
of Great Humorist.

To only the old or middle-aged will
there be anything significant in the
anr ouncement that the Enterprise
new paper at Virginia City, Nevada,
has passed away. The Enterprise was
not potent as a molder of public opin-
ion. It's circulation was not notable,
and outside of the state few people
knew of it's existence. But it had once
one member of the staff who made it
famous in his day and who himself
later became famous.
1t was the Enterprise on which Mark
Twain first used that name which af-
terward became a household word.
ing camps under the pseudonym of
"Josh," but when he joined the staff
he adopted as sobriquet "Mark
Twain" a Renaissance of his pilot
days. AS new STRIKES" were made the
newspaper office was moved first from
Genoa to Carson and later to Virginia
City.
One can visualize Mark in the En-
terprise office of the '60s, his long legs
twisted about the tilted chair, the old
hat on his great brush of hair, writ
ing some such matter as 'Mr. Bloke's
Item," swapping stories with Dan de
Guile, or listening to the quaint ver-
nacular of visiting miners or prospec~
tors. It was there he began the first
of those experiences which were to en-
rich the literature of the country and
to teach a tired world how to laugh.
The Enterprise is gone, but so are the
Oil City Derrick, the Laramie Boom
erang, and the Danbury News, at least
no one now hears of them since the
humorists who made the regulations
of those journals have passed away.

GasIiuht in Oil Lamp.

A war time substitute for the kero-
sene oil light has been provided in
Germany in the form of carbide
candle which supplies the old lamp
with acetylene gas, the Columbia State
notes. The candle is cylinder having
a suitable gas burner at the top and a
removable cover at the bottom, and
holding two or three ounces Of cal
cium carbide. 1t is set into the lamp
after the oil burner has been removed.
In operation the font of the lamp is
about half filed with water and the
carbide filled candle is placed in it,
when the moisture reaching the car
bide causes the generation of accty-
lene for considerable time. The rate
of emission of gas is regulated by vary
ing the amount of water. A chalky
residue is left on the exhaustion of
the carbide, but this is easily removed
when dry or with suitable care, while
still wet and in this state giving off a
small amount of inflammable gas. The
average cost of the carbide used is
stated to be about quarter of a cent
an hour.

When Cows Sold at SIS.

How the increase in the cost of liv-
ing has progressed in the last thirty
or forty years was discussed by Gov.
J. B. Kendrick of Wyoming, an old
stockman, who has watched the march
of events. Today q chicken is worth
more than turkey was few years
ago; a turkey more than q hog; hog
more than a cow used to be worth, and
cow more than horse. This illus
trates the increase in the price of
food stock.
sTn March, 1879, I went down to
Texas to look over two thousand head
of steers in Matagorda county, south
ern Texas" Governor Kendrick said,
according to the Washington Post.
"While I was down looking over the
young cattle I was asked by the man.
ager of the ranch if L cared to buy
dome older steers. The owner, l was
told, had q number of Six-year-old
steers that he would sell, although he
was not anxious. He was going to
hold them until he got his price, he
declared. The manager impressed
upon me, however, that 1 need not
hope to buy unless / was willing to
pay the owners price.
ST asked the price, and was told
that he wanted fifteen dollars head.
Think of Fifteen dollars a head for
six-year-olds, and today calves are
bringing eighty-five dollars"

HK. of K" Feared Drowning.

Lord Kitchener had a sort of fore
holding of an accident at sea. So
much was this the case that he never
crossed from Dover to Calais without
wearing a lifebe1t waistcoat, one that
he had specially made for him in
Erypt before he made his famous adj
vance to Khartum.
Though so often on the sea and an
excellent sailor, he detested sea trips,
and never felt comfortable on board
ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sigh.
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios in any part
of the world in which he might be,
he took care never to allow his pur-
chase TO be on the vessel on which he
was passenger.

tations. The 'inattentive" Isaac New
ton, the "dullard" Robert Fulton, the
"indolent'' James Russell Lowell, the
'weakminded" David Hume and hun
dreds of others make us challenge our
methods of estimating the powers and
characters of children. These, more
than the disappOintments we feel In
the failure of children to develop into
a realization of our great expectations,
make us question our standards and
systems and signs.
In view of the common failure to
anticipate the ultimate achievements
of children, it would seem much wiser
to draw all the possible encouragement
and stimulus from the positive mani
festations, to watch constantly for the
best, than to fear and despair for the
weaknesses.

Evening journal., 1916-11-09

Attired in white clothing OF expen-
sive texture. the dead body Of z
months-old baby girl was found lying
on the mudfats in Lobdell's marshes
along the Causeway. a mile from the
Minquadale Home, early this morning.
Judging by the condition of the body
and the clothing, the infant had been
in the water but a few hours, and de-
tectives connected with the police
force are working on several clues
which It is thought may result in To-
eating the parents of the child or the
pers IN who threw the child overheard.
The remains were removed TO the
morgue. where a post-mortem exami-
nation OF the body win be made late
this afternoon in an effort to ascer-
tain whether the child was drowned
or was dead before its little form was
thrown into the mud and water. Dep
uty Coroner Nichols and Detective
Frank Mahoney. who is at work on
the case, are inclined to think that
the child was thrown overheard after
it had died. Others who were pres
ent when the child's body was found
are incliend TO believe the body was
thrown into the marsh from an auto
mobile, as the roadway skirts the
bitches where the body was found and
when found the body lay on its back,
its little hands outstretched.
The parents OF the child had taken
great pains i'm clothing the infant,
whether it was dead or not. The form
was att'red in a white cap with lace
trimming. a long white dress and two
Detticoats. one trimmed in embroid-
erv and the remainder Of the under
clothing being OF the best materials.
The legs were enclosed in white stock
ings but the feet we're shoeless.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Governor
Hughes isn't losing sleep or getting
thin worrying over his chances for
the Presidency. In fact, he is about
the calmest of all of those in the
Republican camp. This was evidenced
today, when the Republican nominee,
who had gone to bed at 1910 o'clock,
responded to an s o'clock call-and
then turned around and took another
hours sleep. Hughes is still entirely
confident that the ultimate result will
be his election. He planned another

and no politics, except possibly talks
