GOSSIP AND GLEANINGS

- GOSSIP AND GLEANINGS -
In connection with the nomina-
tion of Senator Harding of Ohio,
we are reminded that every repub-
lican president has come from
iOhio. excepting only Lincoln and
Roosevelt. No president since
1860 has been elected without the
electoral vote of Ohio. Ft. Pierre
Times. In this connection we
wish to remind Clarence that Peer
less Democrat Harrison was from
the state of Indiana. He was at
one time president. 1t is also true
that he has been catalogued by
some historians as republican.
We merely mention these facts,
thinking that they may be of in
terest to our friend Coyne, now
that he is branching out In poll
tics in large way. General Grant
was born in Ohio, but he should
be credited to Illinois as a 'presi-
Dental candidate He resided there
at the time of his election at any
rate. Andrew Johnson was never
| an Onion, we believe, until the
closing months of his term. 1t is
a gross perversion of history to
say that Harrison, Grant and John
son were from Ohio. Arthur was
not from Ohio but from New
York.

This is the first time in the his
tory of the United State that the
nominees of both the leading par
ties for president reside in the
same state.-Quinn Courant. Now
there goes another editor tripping
up on his history. Brother John
son should know better than that.
To go back only sixteen years,
Theodore Roosevelt and Alton b.
Parker were both from New York
state. 1t just about keeps us busy
Strengthening out our editorial
bretheren on their history these
days. 1t must be the hot weather
that has affected them.

The woman's page Of a great
newspaper that came to our desk
| last week tells us that limburgef
cheese laid away in cupboards and
refrigerators will drive ants away
One of our subscribers tells us that
he used limburger cheese success
fully in driving the prairie dogs
off his ranch. 1t will drive hog
out Of lanyard; it will drive a
spike into a brick; it will drive a
tramp away from a meal of vic
tuals; it will drive a mule thru
a barbed wire fence; it will drive
a herd of cattle over a precipice;
| it will drive negro away from
a chicken roost or a man to in
sanity who stays five minutes with
in ten feet of its unsavory pre-
sence. And yet some men will sit
up and eat the stuff and profess
to like it.

As the world grows older and
wiser, it finds new ways all the
while to amuse itself. Our women
folks lead us, and he is lively
husband who can keep step with
his wife these days. The latest
fad among Philip women is So
called "tub-cure.' In this the pat
lent arises just as the crisp air of
morning is mellowed by the first
sunbeam. An ordinary washtub is
then filled with hot water and
soap suds, into which various art
icles Of linen are thrown. After
they are thoroughly saturated the
patient takes them up one at q
time and rubs them briskly up and
down on a washboard placed in
the tub. This is kept up until the
hands, arms and face are a glow
| ing pink. The patient then goes
into the open air and hangs all
| the linen articels on line stretch
I ed for that purpose. The one COM
1pleting the task first announces
the time, to others over the tele-
phone, and is entitled to a prize.
It's exciting sport and also invig-
Grating cxecise.
Will buy horses and mules, from
yearling up. Must be fat and pr col
right. Phone or write me at
