Envy of Talent.

AS to clever peoples hating each
other, think little extra talent does
sometimes make people jealous. They
become irritated by perpetual attempts
and failures, and it hurts their TEN,
pers and dispositions. Unpretending
mediocrity is good, and geni1s is glo-
rious; but a weak flavor OF genius in
an essentially common person is deteSt-
able. 1t spells the grand neutrality of
commonplace character, as the rims

Whereas, j. W. Morgan, administra-
tor of James Morgan's estate, repre-
sents to the court in his petition, duly
filed and entered on record, that he
has fully administered James Nor
gan's estate. This is, therefore, to
cite all persons concerned, kindred
and creditors, to show cause, if any
they can, why said administrator
should not be discharged from his
administration, and receive letters Of
dismission, on the first Monday r

Little by little the jokesmith's stock
n trade is being depleted through sci
ntific discovery. An English profess
sor now declares that people get
sleepy during the sermon because they
hypnotize themselves gazing fiXedly at
the preacher. 1t is not because they
are inattentive, but because they are
too attentive Therefore, jokes on the
subject are not knocks for the parson,
but boosts.

SWIMMING HOLE

With the coming of hot weather
comes the opening of the swimming
pools of the towns and cities, and the
wash hole of the country boy. The
water of the creeks is often polluted;
the water is often taken in the mouth
by accident or purposely, and unless
properly taken care of and safeguard
ed there is more danger in the public
swimming pools and rented bathing
suits. Pools and public bath houses
should be supervised by the Health
officer. The State Board of Health
in its Department of Sanitary Engi-
neering will be glad to, advise with
towns and cities about the proper care
of swimming pools.

A piece of papyrus just translated
by the British museum shows that
King Tut-Ankh-Amen suffered from in
somnia. Responsibility for the Phara-
obs ailment seems to have rested with
certain hippopotami which made so
much noise as they wallOwed in the
sacred lakes of Thebes that he found
sleep impossible.
The papyrus tells Of quarrel the
ancient monarch had with the owner
of the beasts over whether the Kings
slumber should be sacrificed to their
physical comfort. How the dispute
was settled is not disclosed.

Chicago. Nov. 30,--Father, mother and the children will have ''toasting time of it after December 3, if they follow the dictates of the Wheat Council of the United States, which has announced movement to popu- larize the greater use of toast with the American public.
 All food industries and interests of the country are cooperating Tn thls concerted effort to promote, through toast, a greater consumption of wheat so that the huge surplus may be re- duced, the Wheat Council states, addE ing that if is believed bread con sumption can be increased as much as 10 per cent by showing consumers how toast can be prepared in the most appetizing way.
 The wheat farmers troubles are due to the fact that he has produced too much wheat" the council says. The American people are not eat ing as much wheat as they did before the war and foreign countries no longer need the United States as a source of wheat supply. During the war the people were urged 10 eat less wheat, while the farmer was besought 10 grow more.
