few lines to let you know that I
received your last package. l mean
the sox and sweater. They are just the
thing and I will surely use them to
good advantage. We are all trying to
figure out how we can keep warm and
dry, and it is some job. 1t is raining
outside now and the air is cold. The
boys are trying to get warm around a
small stove here in the "Y." The Sal
walton Army just got to us few days
ago, but the Y. M. G. A. has been here
just about as long as we have. l am
feeling fine, that is, I am not sick.
This weather is enough to make any
one fell bum.
l received another bunch of papers,
some from Mr.. or Mrs. Long | think.
Want you to thank them for me.

ing news but you know we cant. We

MONKEYS LOVE FOR YOUNG
Mothers Practically Devote Entire
Lives to Their Babies and Fond
ness Knows No Bounds.

Monkeys are born in almost as help
less a condition as are human beings.
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time in being nursed, in
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care
and attention of the mother are most
exemplary. The slightest sound or
movement excites her immediate no.
tice, and, with her baby in her arms,
she skillfully evades any approaching
danger by the most adroit maneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself,
but always under its mothers watch
full care. She frequently attempts to
teach it to do for itself, but never for
gets her solicitude for it's safety, and
at the earliest intimation of danger
seizes it in her arms and seeks place
of refuge. When about six weeks old
the baby begins to need more substan-
tia1 nourishment than milk and is
taught TO provide for itself. The moth
er's fondness for her offspring con-
tinues; she devotes all her time to its
comfort and education, and, should it
meet with an untimely end, her grief
is so intense as frequently to cause her
own death.

STOUGHTON

The brick warehouse, No. a, two
thirds of which was owned by the heirs
of the late ]. K. Subey, and one-third
by Ole Evenson, was sold at auction
last Saturday afternoon to Henry Scott
of this city for $2400. The warehouse
is leased by the Holtan Leaf Tobacco
Co. until January, 1918.
Mrs. H. A. keenan, and her little son
and daughter have departed for Silver

The foundrymen at the Stoughton
wagon works have Liberty bell of
their own. 1t is the handiwork of one
of their number, Sid Alme, who cast it
the other day. The bell, which is Is
inches across at the edge, is cast of
the iron used in wagon castings, and has
by no means displeasing sound. 1t
is mounted over beam in the foundry
and probably will be rung in honor of
Stoughton's success in raising its al
lOtment of the second Liberty loan.

DEERFIELD

H. Klinefelter and family moved
into the Grinde house the fore part of
the week where they will reside during
the winter months.
The many friends here of Miss Edna
Sager admitted that she had ''put one
over on them" when they heard on
Monday of her marriage to Harvey S.
Cheney of Madison. The young couple
were very quietly married at Wauke-
gan, ILL.,, on Friday, Nov. 2, returning
to Madison Saturday evening, where
they will make their home.
Chas. F. Bergholz this week sent his
resignation as rural mail carrier to
Washington, thus ending unexpectedly
faithful service to the government
and the public extending over 153
years. The patrons of route No. l will
learn with regret of Mr., Bergholz's
resignation. After a trial of the 80
mile route during the summer and fall
season he made up his mind it would be
impossible to give regular service dur
ing the winter season. His health has
also been considerably impaired by his
long service. During the 153 years of
service Mr.. Bergholz has travelled over
124, $50 miles and has carried 1,5OO, 600
pieces of mail.

Ancient ENGLISH Tree.

There grows in the beautiful garden
of the dowager counties of Derby, in
England, an ancient oak tree which is
said to be the oldest one in England.
The size of the trunk of this veneer
able oak testifes to it's antiquity, but
on a stone seat by it's side is more di-
rect evidence. The seat bears tablet
recording that Wilberforce wrote in
his diary in 1888 that he well remem-
bered, after conversation with Pitt,
and before descending int the Vale of
Keston, sitting at the foot of san old
tree and resolving to give notice in
the house of commons that he would
move the abolition of the slave trade
The tree in question, which was
therefore a good age 80 years ago, is
carefully preserved with zinc plates
where the damp might gather, and the
branches are held up with iron bars,
but it bears a goodly crop of leaves,
and seems good for many years Of life.

EVANSVILLE

The city council has passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of larger
amount of liquor by druggist to any
one man than four ounces, and that no
man be allowed to purchase more than
one four-ounce bottle in single day.
The many friends of Prof. Sherman
of the high school, who are interested
in his work, will be sorry to learn that
in all probability he will be called to
the army. He was called on the first
draft, and being a married man was
exempted by his local board; so this
week he was surprised to get notice
from the war department stating that
he would be called to the colors. The
affair is rather a mystery and every
effort will be made to get at the bot
tom of it so that Mr.. Sherman's work
in the schools will not be interrupted.
Friday morning Mrs. Mary Hayward,
who lives on the corner of South Madl-
son and School street, and just south
of the home of Mrs. Hiram Van Pat
ten, thought it strange that at $3.50 in
the morning she had not yet raised her
window curtains, as she was generally
an early riser, and knowing that on this
particular night she was alone, went
over to the Van Patten house and
knocked at the door. Receiving no an
swer, Mrs. Hayward became sure that
something was wrong and help was
summoned and the door forced open.
The house was found to be full of gas
from hard coal stove, and Mrs. Van
Patten lying on the bed totally uncon-
scious. A physician was at once sum-
moned and every means was brought
to bear to bring her to consciousness.
Breath was brought back to her, but
she remained totally oblivious to her
surroundings until Monday, when she
regained consciousness enough to rec
ognize different members of the family
and by Tuesday could speak aAword or
So 1t is thought that she will now re-
cover, though it will be some time be-
fore she will be we'll and strong again.

Today is my birthday so | thought
had better write to you. I have had a
bad cold but am getting better. Am
not sick abed, but just feel bum. Wet
feet for two or three days, wading
through gumbo mud ankle deep, with
cold chilly days and night, is enough to
make any one feel bum. Today has
been fine and sunny and we surely en-
joyed it.
/ saw a German aeroplane today and
saw the shells bursting around it. It
is surely some sight to see the anti
aircraft guns working. You could see
Fritz go sailing along and then you
would see shell burst near it. We
had a lot Of excitement watching it.
Some of the boys wanted to bet the
gunners would get him, and others
would bet the other way. They finally
got him and he came down pretty fast
We got the base ball scores here for
the world series games, and the papers
were grabbed pretty quick. We get
the continental edition of the Chicago

ONE WAY TO COLLECT BILL
Surgeon Makes Wealthy Man Pay FOR
the Burial of Brother Who
Died in Arizona.

An embalming incident occurred in
Arizona in 1893 when the Chicago ex-
position was in full blast. Billy, be-
loved but impecunious citizen, passed
in his checks. Doctor BifOrd, an old
army surgeon, attended him in his last
illness, and afterwards embalmed
the body, placed it in metallic cas-
ket, and made ready to ship it to Jonn,
a wealthy brother of the deceased,
who lived in Chicago. But the rail-
road company refused to receive the
casket unless the freight was prepaid.
The doctor telegraphed to the Chicago
brother who replied, refusing to remit.
Thereupon the resourceful physician
had the front of the casket painted
and inscribed: "In this casket reposes
Billy. His brother John, who lives in
Chicago. WEIGHED on the emhalm1ng
bill and cost of transportation. Where
upon this casket with it's contents mas
been sent to the Chicago exposition TO
he placed on exhibition in the depart,
ment of curiOs. In order to pay the
cost of. embalming and transportation,
this cabinet and remains will be rallied
for. Five hundred tickets at 90 cents
ticket. Buy a chance. The winner
can start dime museum with Billy"
Doctor Biford had photograph taken
of the casket and sent it to Brother
John. and Brother John paid up and
ordered his brother to be decently
buried at Tucson.

IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME
Even the Biggest Men of Affairs Ar
range Their Business on Punctu-
ality as Safe Guide.

A young Kentuckian lost a big for
tune by being 20 minutes late in keep
ing a business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But it also is the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat
ter even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
\ It may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but it
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit.
Men of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance OF
saving it by being prompt.

Camp Cody, Deming. New Mexico
Ambulance COMPANY No. 1873

ambulance company NO. LOO
Dear Folks:-It is after nine o'clock
and colder than the deuce, but I'll try
and scribble few lines before report
, ing to the officer of the day. | am in
charge of quarters tonight SO | will
have to stay up until eleven o'clock.
Six of US got passes last Sunday and
!, took trip. This is the first time |
had been out of camp since we came
here. We hired a seven-passenger
Paige and left here about nine o'clock
in the morning. The first town we hit
was Hurley, about 20 miles from here.
There wasn't much out of the ordinary
to see on the road, although it did seem
| rather queer to go zigzagging in among
the cactus plants and mesquite brush
when we couldn't see more than fifty
feet of the road at time. Hurley is
located at the foot of the mountains
and most of the town is owned by
mining company. There is big cop
Eper mine here. All the houses are
about alike little white cottages with
flower gardens in the front yard and
vegetables in the rear.
From there we went to Silver City,
% miles beyond Hurley. This city is
located in the foothills of the Sierra
Madres range and surely is pictur-
esque little town, especially when one
looks ct it from the peak of the outly
ing mountains.
After lunch we drove on over the
mountaia road over the continental d.
vide to Tyrone. This was the best
part of the entire trip. The road was
cut out of solid rock and kept winding
higher and higher until it topped the
peak of the range which marks the
dividing line between the Pacific and
the Gulf slopes. We could look over
the side Of the car and see three Or
four selves of the road doubling back
and forth below us. If anyone ever
went over the edge doctors would be
unnecessary, for straight drop Of 800
feet would make pretty fair material
for an undertaken. When We returned
from Tyrone over the divide we shut
off our engine at the top and coasted
down the eastern side. The spedometer
showed that we travelled thus for a dis
lance of five miles, as fast as we dared
go, without the use Of the engine.
Tyrone is the Queerest and most beau
tiful little town l ever saw. The Santa
Fe depot was built on the order of an
old Spanish villa and all the houses and
other buildings were of a Spanish de,
sign. They are built out of some kind
of white and red plaster looking stuff
and sure are great. The Burrows Cop
per Co. owns practically all this town.
One can see but a little of it at time
for it is spread all over the mountain
side and down in the valley. We saw
a bunch of Mexicans playing hand ball
and stopped to buy some of their cac-
tus candy, which is surely queer tast-
ing stuff.
am feeling first rate although it is
pretty chilly. The wind blows and we
sweep about half the desert out of our
tent every day.

The duck shooting has been better
this fall than for many years, owing
largely to the federal law. An unusual
number of local birds mallard and teal
made excellent early shooting and
many have remained until the present
time. They are still feeding in the
fields. Numbers of f1ocks of both NAL
lard and teal fly to the lake every night
for refuge. The recent snow storm
and freeze drove many local ducks to
the south but northern birds came in
to take their places. One of the bad
practices that should be stopped and
which has seemed to be INDUCED
in wholly by GAINESVILLE shooters-we
can't call them sportsmen-is that of
securing the lake with a motor boat
merely to drive the ducks off their
feeding grounds and to make shooting
for the hunters on shore

Fire in POrter's Barber Shop

A disastrous fire was narrowly avert
ed Saturday night about 10 O'Clock in
the building occupied by Porter's Bar
ber shop, when Fred the shine boy,
attempted to fill hot and lighted oil
stove with gasoline Of course there
was n mistake. Fred thought he had
the Kerosene oil bottle, hut he picked
up the one which contained gallon of
gasoline and when he turned it up the
thing happened. a flame enveloped
him, burning of his eye brows and
lashes, and singeing brown, his kinky
black hair. He dropped the burning
bottle of gasoline in the floor, where
upon Bert Porter proved the hero of the
occasion, picking up the flaming bottle
in his bare hands and throwing it into
the street, receiving only minor burns
When the bottle of fire hit the curbing
rolledunder the Ford touring car of
Ernest Cbildress, which was just in
front Of the shop. Ernest was working
at the third chair, and with the aid of
DR.. r. E. Lewis, whom he was shaving,
succeeded in pushing the car, without
taking off the brake, from over the
burning gasoline.
Throughout the excitement Squire
Porter, who was massaging young
sport, stood like the Rock of Gibraltar
and agreed with his patient, that the
greatest loss was the loss of one gallon
OF gasoline and Fred" the shine boys
tur. Shine was sent to DR.. Porter,
who dressed his wounds.
