Household Hints

90 There is no reason why fruT
or vegetables canned under home
conditions may not be done per
fectly if the same laws of order
and cleanliness are observed
which our state requires in large
canning factories.
90 Above all. plan for no inter
ruption Devote your whole
thought to work at hand and It
will nos spoil the fruits and vege-
tables if plenty of joy and love
of the work is canned with them.
TRY THESE.
4 Kitchen Cart may be made by
fitting wheels to small kitchen
table. All the dishes may be
placed in it, after drying, and TAX
en- to the china closet in one trip.
Elastic Shareholders, such as
men ordinarily use. will be found
convenient in the kitchen. Slip
them on when washing dishes OF
using the hands in water, and
YOUR sleeves will not slip down
and become soiled.
When Wrapping Parcei-P0st
Packages, pin a square of cheese
cloth or mosquito-netting securely
around the article before doing 1t
I'D in paper. This will insure pro-
lection, even if the outside cover
ing should be torn in transit.
Do Not Wash Butter in Summer
if you want to keep it hard. Work
it the second time until the brine
is clear. This makes it keep long
er and keeps it from being
Streaked.

ROLLN VITTATOE SHOT
FROM AMBUSH.-DES IN
FOUR HOURS.

Rollin Vittatoe, a highly es-
teemed young man of the 9Th dis
trict, this county, was shot and
killed just over the line in the
10th district of Putnam county,
Wednesday night, Aug. q about
1890 o'clock.
The horrible tragedy occurred
while young Vittatoe and several
other Jackson county boys were
en- route home from attending a
singing at the McBroom school
house located on McBroom
Branch. The boys had reached
a point about Ia mile from school
house, when two rocks were
thrown from the hillside, just
missing them. At this all of the
boys. but Vittatoe and Lay Half
acre, took to cover. It was then
that a shot was fired from the
opposite side of the road from
which the rocks had been thrown.
Vittatoe remarked to Halfacre
that he was shot and would
have to get off of his horse, and
in reply Halfacre remarked, mo
we must ride on or they will
kill us. Together they rode on
down the road, Halfacre support
ing Vittatoe on his horse. They
soon reached the home of Gener-
al NARROW and Vittatoe carried
in. DR.. Wheeler was summons
ed and on examination found that
the shot had taken effect in the
left side, just above the hip bone,
ranging upward, passing throu
the liver and lungs and lodging

beneath the collar bone on the
right side.
Vittatoe remained conscious
until a short time before he died,
which occurred at three O'Clock
Thursday morning. Previous to
loosing consciousness he made
a statement to the effect that he
did not Know who shot him,
that he held nothing against
any one and was praying for
them, and requesting that his
parents not to weep as he was
going home to Heaven.
The remains were taken to the
Vittatoe home Oh Spring Fork
Thursday evening, where humid
reds of friends had assembled.
Funeral service was held Friday
morning, conducted by Rev. NJ,
s. Wheeler. Hundreds of friends
were present to pay their last
tribute to the noble young man,
whose life had so suddenly been
snuffed off.
Rollin Vittatoe was 10 year old
son of James Vittatoe, one of the
leading citizens of the 5th dis
trict. He was true christian,
taking an active part in all SER
vices of the Methodist church of
which he was a member. His
life was an open book, and moth
ing but good was ever spoken of
him.
The tragedy case a shadow of
gloom over the entire commun-
ity, while the parents and other
members of the family have the
sympathy of hundreds of friends
Several arrests have been
made, but the names of the part
les have not been learned.

London, England, Aug. y. "A
famous English Bishop has en-
dorsed the use, by the Rev, Sam
Leland, New York Methodist
preacher, of an exclamation
rhyming with his first name. Of
course the Bishop qualified his
endorsement. 4. E. Hunger
ford, leader of the Y. NJ. C. A.
party of ffty-seven secretaries
who were on board the 0ronsa
when that vessel was torpedoed
while nearing England, told the
Bishop about the Rev.. Sans
outburst- Three minutes after a
British destroyer had picked up
the survivors Of the 0ronsa the
preacher approached Hungerford
and asked:
Can a man resign from the
Y, M. c. A. service at a time
like this?"
Hungerford wondered, amazed
if he had over estimated the man,
ITO enlist in the army?" con-
Guided Rev. Leland.
"Of course you may" replied
Hungerford. There is no higher
or better work anywhere than as
a fighting man in the army, +"
Damned if don't" exclaim-
ed the New Youk preacher.
When Hungerford told this to
a famous English Bishop, the
latter publicly declared that not
only was the language justified,
but was absolutely necessary to
meet the occasion. Failing to
get into the army, Rev. Leland
volunteered for transport work
to be exposed constantly to u
boats and mines.
