STRAY STREAKS

Working and worrying two days
and four nights over an income tax
report, wherein there is no tax due,
is enough to make even newspaper

Court this week and last, they were
so thick that when a fellow met

Ernest Birkhead has quit bother
ing us about that alleged partner
ship tobacco Will Brown left here,
and we shere do hope Birk's quitting
is final too. He nearly got us to give
up the tobacco at one time, and if
he only knew how nigh he was to it
he would more than likely swear at
himself for stopping his persistency.
Somebody, whose name we can't
recall, told us that Mrs. Rol Riley
wanted to buy a barrel of spring
tonic, or enough to last Rol until
she could get her garden planted.
We understand that Rolls fever gets
up with him most every morning. If
it does his case is chronic, and we
would advise Mrs. Riley to with
hold Rolls meals as last resort, to
accomplish her purpose.
Squire Ben Rice, of Fordsville,
was here the other day and he said |
he had been bit under the weather
for some days, but his Doctor prom
Used to prescribe something for him |
that called for a pint of liquor in
which nasty sort of connection was |
to be placed, and Ben lowed he was
a going to get the Doc to let him
take it home to mix up, and by-crack- |
lie he was going to make toddies of
the liquor and pour the other stuff
on a grass sack and wipe his shoes
on it.
If these Prohibition enforcement
on the ruling of A. Mitchell
Palmer, are going to permit the sale
of beer for medicinal purposes, 'spect
we will get Doc Baird, or Doc Dock
cry to do some prescribing for us.
We know just plum we'll that we will
receive no less than dozen 'skeeter'
bites per day, during the week we
are going to spend on our fishing
rip, and we figure that bottle of
2 1-2 to per cent stuff would about
equal a good sized swig of old-time
ed liquor, per each snake bite. Hence
We are going to prepare, in advance,
or the "skeeter bites we we'll know
We can't avoid, and, we are sick now,
or about two or three cases then.

PETER COOPER'S THRIFT Arthur H. Chamberlain, in The Thrift Ma zine


 Magazine.
 Even as a boy Peter Cooper was always inventing things. His first in- vention was an arrangement for pound- ing linen on wash day. This he worked out to help his mother. When his sisters needed shoes, he made them and that, too, without any help. In his au- photography he tells how he did it. T remember one of the earlies. things I undertook, of my own accord, was to make pair of shoes. For this purpose I first obtained an old pair. and I took them all apart to see tn 3 structure, and then, procuring leather, thread and needles, and some suitable tools. without further instruction made the last and pair of shoes which compared very well with the country shoes then in vogue"
 When Cooper was IT years old, he went to New York city to make his fortune. Here he became an appren- ticc to a coachmaker. He was an ap- prentice for four years, receiving $2s year besides board; washing and mending. At the end of four years he was an expert coachmaker. All his life, whatever he did he did well.
 He was always thrifty. During the first two years of his apprenticeship he not only bought his clothing froin the meager yearly pay of s25, but man : aged to save $20. His fellow appren- tices often laughed at him because he would not go with them evenings to have a good time. But Peter was all ways looking ahead He spent his eve- nings in study or in extra work on coaches for which he was paid.
 When he was 21 years old he went to work in a woolen mill on Long Is land. Here he worked for three years at $1.50 a day. While here he invented ma chine for shearing the surface oi wooden cloth. He made $500 from this patent and gave all of 1t to his father to help pay his debts.
 When Cooper was 33 he bought q small glue factory. This proved to be the foundation of his fortune. Ills made such good glue that for 50 years he practically had a monopoly of the

 Saving Her Life
By Associated Press

 I've were in the car next to the en- zine and the train was pulled out of the station yard to a point near the river" said Mrs. Ellis "The car turned over gradually onto It's right side as the water rushed under the bottom.
 My little daughter, Mildred Mary and I were thrown to the bottom of the car into the water. I struggled to the surface and found mattresses and bedding over me. Then I found my little girl and pulled her to the top of the car which was not yet filled with water. We stood on the rods of the upper berth and held onto the rods on the other side of the
  car
 The water rose rapidly until it had reached my chin. My little girl was cllnging to my neck Fortu nately through the ventilator windows we were able to breathe freely.
 T had given up hope of life when the water came to my chin Mildred Mary had not cried nor complained up to this time and she asked: What shall I do, mother" and l told her to pray.
 Then she repeated over and over: Jesus, I trust you
 Tt seemed only few minutes then until the water began to recede. We made our way to the end of the car where some women in the train had broken a window and were helped through the side of the coach by rescue patty
 Rescue parties were able to reach the overturned train today and search ed through all the cars, it was an- nounced.
 Passengers who escaped from the trains. were in the yards today in eff forts to find their baggage. Some were successful but most searched in vain.

Atlantic City, N. J.. June 6.-Al- though Jack Dempsey did no boxing today, a crowd of about 200 spectators, half of whom were women. paid $1 a piece to get a closeup view of the champion going through his routine training programme. Dempsey worked out in the cool of the big hangar back of his camp instead of the outdoor arena.
 A gash over his left eye, which had to be stitched by a physician after yesterdays workout, forced the cham pion to eliminate all boxing from his training stunts. The wound will be with the gloves is resumed, as Man ager Jack Kearns does not want to risk the danger of further injury to the tender eyebrow. Dempsey may do no boxing until Friday or Saturday.
 Dempsey had a satisfactory workout even without boxing. He opened up by punching the bag for three rounds of three minutes each with only a rest of 30 seconds between rounds. When he jumped into the ring for shadow boxing, the title holder was streaming with precipitation. He shadow boxed for three rounds, constantly hooking at an imaginary foe with his left hand After this he mauled the heavy sandbag for nine minutes and finished with some bending exercises and calis- thenics.
 In the morning Dempsey went on the road for 8 six-mile hike, returning an hour later for brisk rub down and breakfast. He spent the rest of the morning resting and playing cards in the sun on his front porch.
 Sparring partners in the champions camp, after their unmerciful mauling yesterday, were in happy frame Of mind today, because Dempsey could not do any boxing. Larry Williams, who butted Dempsey over the eye and

BIGGEST INDUSTRY

An exposition of mines and mining equipment will be held in Chicago next October in connection with the twenty fourth annual convention of the Amer ican Mining congress. The govern ments of the United States, Canada and Mexico will probably send exhio- it's. Several western states have defi- nitely decided to do so. Even at this early date it can be plainly foreseen that this exposition will be worlds fair in so far as the mining industry is concerned, that it will amount to 6 revelation in its portrayal of the al- most limitless degree in which civih ration is dependent upon the mining industry.
 Every man knows a little about minerals in a general way. He recog- nizes that bedsprings and automobiles, gas pipe and coal are rather useful commodities, and is regularly re- have been made from gushers and mother-lodes and glistening nuggets. But he does not know that bonanzas are encountered in fiction more often than in the field, that the real mineral wealth of this country lies under mountains and plains and river beds mixed in microscopic proportions with other substances absolutely worthless, and that 1t yields to discovery and segregation only by modern scientific methods which it has taken the world thousands of years to develop. And he would undoubtedly stare in won oer,nent if you told him that there are approximately 800 mineral substances found in the United States and that every article of his clothing, every i'm plement in his shop or on his office desk. every moving picture he looks at, his favorite newspaper, the pies his mother makes and the chromo or h.s best girl are absolutely dependent fora their production upon from one to a score of these minerals. But such are the facts.
 Education Is one of the most potent factors of life and happiness. Know,- edge is power. Chicago is one of the wonder cities of the world, situated at the exact transportational center of the two countries whose citizens are the most intensely educated and still the most eager to learn. More than twoscore of the men who have helped to make the national exposition of mines and mining a complete setting forth of North Americas mineral re- sources and absorbingly interesting to all who enter the portals of her col iseum. They, and Chicago, can be de- pended upon to make 1t as enjoyable and as complete and as final as derby or a worlds series or tho last presidential election.
 Every merchant who contemplates 8 buying trip. every tourist, every scien- tist. everyone who desires to secure d big, comprehensive grasp of mining, the biggest industry in the world should write Chicago, October 17-22." in his or her date book and straight way wire for hotel reservations.
