For Find Received $17.50. __ Frank Masching, Wayne Fowler and Hobert Clark while walking over Archie Van Aernam's pasture came across a wolf's nest with seven baby wolves in it. The boys took possession of the youngsters which were taken to the County Seat where they received the reward for their labors, $17.50. Wolves are very plentiful here. The brush pastures particularly are infested with them, because aside trom cattle and horses they are never disturbed and the old ones can raise their young without molestation. A wolf hunt would be well patronized and is necessary for their extinction. The sheep killed over this part of the county is causing the industry to be demoralised and the loss very heavy. 'Tie true the domestic animal fund makes good a part of the loss but there are hundreds of dollars worth of loss by wolves that are never heard from because it seems to the looser so little to ask for.

ANOTHER LETTER Of Much Importance lust Now. The Leading Farmers Are Urging All To Turn Out And Work. Audubon County Journal:—In regard to the good road movement I can say that I was very much interested in the plan that Mr. Niels Hoegh of Oakfield township gave in the Journal sometime ago and the Trustees of Sharon TownBbip have taken the same plan this year and placed a Road boBs in each School District, and that this is the best plan there is no doubt. Mr. Henry Hansen, that was appointed Superintendent for School District No. 7 Sharon have, with theassistance of the farmers, graded the whole district in 3A days. Ju9t think of it! If everyone did likewise we cculd have the whole country graded in the same time, and then by dragging the road afterwards we could have flue roads all the time. A man went by my place today and he asked me if every farmer in this neighborhood owned automobiles. I told him No and asked why. "Well," besaid "I travel a good dtal over the State and find you have some of the best kept roads I have traveled over.' Let us all try to have the best.

Ideal Ice Box Ms. Fred Cotton of the "Palace Grocery," has installed, as a part of his fixtures, one of the finest and best ice boxes manufactured on the American market. The ice chest, or rather the ornamental bureau is a handsome piece of furniture with a large box for ice, and compartments for vegetables, butter and brick cheese, in fact a home, where the butter and the onion or the strawberry and the leek cannot mingle their llavors at will. It is quarter oak sawed and shines like a piano. Mr. Cotton's increasing trade and the neatness iu arrangement of goods and fixtures in his store all tell too plainly of his success.

Silver Wedding There was an old time Silver Wedding at the horns of Mr. Nels J. Petersen's, five miles west of Exira Wednesday night. As near everybody, as a crowd is usually named, were there, to oheer Mr. and Mrs. Petersen on to, the better life. Tnese good people are among our very best citizens, always ready to help a neig-hbor and to, do all the good they oan to 'mankind generally. We trust their joys through life maybe multiplied tenfold. tr "Sk Jv $1.00 PER YEAR .*«# *. -4 SURE AS GOSPEL This Interests You Brother and Sister And May Mean Many Dollars. Give It Thought. If all our people followed the example of some of our citizens and bought everything possible away from home, we would have precious few retail etores left. What would bappen in that case? A large section of our people, including merchants and their clerks and the trades people who cater to them, would move away. Not merely that but the decadence of our business life would manifest itself in our business oenter. Stores to rent, an air of decadence, of struggle to meet obligations, would settle like a pall over our town. Any person thinking of locating here for business or residence would get an impression that this is a dead town and would not come. But suppose all of our people bought goods at home whenever possible, what would be the result? Tha first thing that would happen would be a distinct increase in the business done, with a chance for more people to gain a livelihood here. More than that, the sprucing' up and expansion of our retail trade that would the.n take place would give en added impreBbion of a bright business future that would attract new comers. The atory of Success in'Vetail trade ha* many chapters teUinji of great results achieved by men in seemingly unfavorable location*. The side street merchant who does not advertise is fighting against two great currents of trade. He must contend against the drift of the public along the main streets and against the stronger drift to the store that tells the best story in the newspaper. The Bide Btreet merchant who does not sdvertiBe impresses the public as choosing biB location to reduce' the cost of his goods to the. public. If he has enterprise to prove by newspaper space that he offers attractive propositions, the public will look at it that it ie an economy to buy goods of him. Bargain hunters then find a certain zest in bunting bim up and they enjoy telliirg' their friends about it. The merchant who trusts to a central location minus any effort to tell the public what he is doing, gives an impression of decayed respectability. It looks to tbe^public as if he had made money in the past, but aB if he were too satisfied with hia gaius to make much¥ffort for new customers or to be very watchful cftbe interests of bis older adherents. Attended Rally Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Keese and little son came-down from Audubon Monday to attend the Bible School Rally at the Christian Church. They stayed overnight with their friend, Mrs. E. B. Holmes, returning to Audubon Tuesday morning. They also visited friends at the Mrs. George Kuox home while here.

Nobody who Is taking notice of passing events would say that the lesson to be gleaned from the changes of raiment of a young woman of this period during the spring, summer, autumn and winter is not gained at some cost. A mere outsider not acquainted with the intricacies of the case—papa, for instance—would say that it is "dear" enough! Daughter calls it "just too dear for anyttyng," and here we get the subtleties of meaning in a mere word. Papa's side is the tragically serious one and daughter's frequently savors of melodrama.

Once again the "all lover" changes the spelling and describes them as "dear" because they are, writes Anna M. Dennlston in the Chicago News. The dress of early fall for the human, as for the deer, is firm and fine. Everything is at Its best, because this is the newest of all seasons. All the past—the old year's winter, spring and summer—has been canceled for a fresh beginning of things. Lines, colone, textures have all been revised and there is no "making over," for this is an utterly different period, possibly an epoch in fashion circles. Tailor-mades for the street, for the drive, for traveling and for the more elaborate uses are simple things that seem most like a "native dress" with some stability—always modeled in their main lines and features after a certain formula. It has forever—as we count forevers in these quickly, moving times—the same copi collar, the same stitched seams, tSfe same close lines, the same qualities of good service for a goodly variety of uses. They tell us that the browns are going to bid strongly for favor this season and the signs sanction the statement.

"Guess what I have in my hand, Harry," said Uncle Dick, holding one hand teasingly behind his back. "Some books?" "No." "A new magic lantern." "No, I shall have to tell you," and he drew forth a big white sheet of paper, upon which was drawn an open bird-cage, at the right a dotted line, beyond the dotted line a little bird, writes Belle Lawrence in Youth's Companion. "Now, Harry," said Uncle Dick, as he drew up a chair beside that of his iA Bird In the Cage. nephew, "you see the little bird outside the cage? Well, soon you shall see the little bird walk right into the oage without our having to touch the bird, the cage, or the pencil." "Oh, how?" cried Harry, in astonishment.

Just then the card dropped and Harry looked at the paper In amazement, for there was the cage, the dotted line, and the bird beyond the dotted line just as it had been before. Uncle Dick laughed at Harry's confusion, then explained to him that it was a sort of trick that the bird did not really go into the cage at all, yet It seemed so to him because It was a proof of simple sight with both eyes, or, and he laughed at the look of wonder in the little boy's face, "what wise men like your old uncle know as binocular vision." Harry committed the long word to memory, and not willing to be outdone, drew a cage with two birds outside, then a whole flock, and joyously watched them journey Inside the bars. MEANING OF SCARLET THREAD Woven Into British Naval Rope as Positive Method of Identification of Royal Property. Ever since the day of Nelson, a peculiar custom has been observed in the British navy. A scarlet thread is woven Into every one of the thousands of ropes used in the British naval service. This includes all ropes from the smallest heaving line to the largest hawser. Several romantic suggestions have been advanced as to why the thread is woven into the ropes, but the real reason is a simple and practical one. It simply means a sure way of identifying royal property, and if any rope with the red thread is found in unauthorized hands the presumption is that It was improperly taken. It ts forbidden that any rope manufactured for private use contain the red thread, in just the same way that in the United States the manufacture of paper for private use containing bits of silk is forbidden. This paper in the United States is used for currency purposes only. Insure in the Continental Inaur ance Company.

A fine time was reported by all present Robbery Disclosed While fishing near the Chris Hahn farm, just south of town, in the Blue Grass last week, Charley Evans discovered something very unusual in the water and upon examination found it to be some jewelry. He Immediately came up town and reported the matter to the city marshal, B. L. Darnold. Mr. Darnold went with him to the place and they took out of the water's edge about half dozen hat pins, three watch foos, two bracelets, some side combs, and several small pins. Tnis was all good jewelry. Mr. Darnold called upon each jeweler in the city and F. M. Tharnish was the only one who claimed any part of the jewelry. Mr. Darnold turned the property over to Mayor Spencer and be turned it over to the County Attorney H. J. Mantz. There is possibly some $25. or $30. worth of the jewelry and how it got there is a mastery but it was evidently dumped there by souie one who became alarmed lest he was being discovered with stolen goods. The County Attorney will hold the property for investigation and then if Mr. Tharnish can prove his property be will get it and the balance will be turned over to Charles Evans.

MACHINE MAKES NOODLES Complete Little Manufacturing Plant In Italy That Will Cut the Goods "To Order." A noodle machine Is a complete little manufacturing plant In itself, and will turn out In a short time noodles enough to supply the town. It can be operated by hand or by mechanical power. It requires only about oneeighth of a. horsepower to run the 'larger-sized machine. The machine can be adjusted in a second so as to 4ut the noodles different sizes, from the width of a thread up to half azx Inch. Although a small machine, it Is mighty in the work It performs. It may be placed where customers can see it, and the noodles "cut to order." Contrary to general supposition, noodles are also used for dishes other than soup. Noodle Boup In itself, however. Is a (fish relished by nearly everybody regardless of nationality. The noodles must, of course, first be boiled by the housewife, after which they may be served In various ways. The Germans often serve noodles with German prunes. Noodles may also be served with milk seasoned to guit the taste with salt and butter. They may be served with chili. The Italians take the cooked noodles, add seasoned tomatoes and bake for half an hour. Noodles make an excellent dessert by pouring melted butter over them and adding chopped nuts or fruit—Baker's Weekly. SELOUS A HARDY EXPLORER While Traveling In the Wilds of Africa for Year* He Always Slept on the Ground. Mr. Selous, a distinguished hunter and explorer, was in England, and telling something of his methods when In the wilds of Africa. How little he cared for personal comfort qiay be gathered from his remark that he Inever thought of taking any sort of ,conveyanoe, even to the extent of a 'hammock for ease by day or rest at 'night, and would not be encumbered jby a tent. Igor weeks together, year 'after year, he slept on the ground, icovered only by something in the 'shape of a blanket. Asked If there were any reptiles to disturb repose under such circumstances, Mr. Selous replied that, although venonTous snakes were to be found, bites from them were very rare, and in all bis experience he had never known anybody, either native or European, killed by a snake bite In Mashonaland. "In fact," he said, "you run 'more risk of being killed by an omnibus In London streets than we do by Venomous^ snakes In African forests." WHY LINCOLN GREW A BEARD Amusing and Pretty Little Story of a Wee Miss Who First Suggested It to Him. There are thousands of authentic portraits and pictures of Abraham Lincoln in existence today. When he was a young lawyer in Illinois, "riding the circuit" in the country districts of that state, he was photographed by local photographers hundreds of times, and gradually, as he became famous in politics, his picture was taken many more times by experienced and skillful photographers in the larger cities, each one of them attempting to excel the other in the best likeness, of the man who was occupying so much attention throughout America and Europe, says a writer In Pittsburg Dispatch. Naturally, too, during nis administration, and as a successful close, he was not only snapped, but caricatured at every possible phase—from the sublime to the ridiculous. During Lincoln's presidential campaign he received a letter from a cer- "You See, Grace, I've Let My Whiskers Grow." tain small "Miss" expressing very frankly the opinion that she thought he would look much nicer with "whiskers." The child's naive simplicity evidently appealed to him, for he at once began to "cultivate" them. Several years after Mr. Lincoln's death, the incident, by many people considered a myth, became known in detail, and was found to have an exceedingly substantial basis. The little girl in question was Grace Bedell, who lived in Westfleld, Chautauqua County, New York. Her father, who was a stanch Republican, was a great admirer of his party's choice for president in 1860, and one day carried a big campaign poster home with him. On the poster was a picture of Lincoln and Hamlin, around whose faces was an appropriate border of rail fences. Little Grace examined the picture carefully, and then exclaimed: "Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good looking if he had /^Mskers like you, papa"—over whichvopinion the family had a he&rty laugh. But the child was mortified at their mirth and at the fact that her remark was being made a joke of when she was in dead earnest about the matter. In the privacy of her room she determined to write to Mr. Lincoln herself, feeling sure that he would not misunderstand her, even though her own family had. Imagine her astonishment, when, in the latter part of October, a letter came to the village postofflce for Grace Bedell, with a signature which said, "Your very sincere well-wisher, A. Lincoln." The letter was as follows: My Dear Little Miss—Your agreeable letter of the 15th Is received. I regret tfce necessity of saying that I have no daughter. 1 have three sons one 17, one 9 and one 7 years of age. They, with their mother, constitute my whole family. As to the whiskers, never having worn any, do you not think people would call It a piece of silly affection if I began wearing them now? $ Your very sincere well-wisher, 'UiS A. LINCOLN. The letter didn't exactly promise he would follow her suggestion, but ap parently he took it to heart and acted on It shortly afterward. He evidently kept the girl in mind all the time, too, for when he arrived In Westfleld on his campaign tour he asked from the platform whether here was a small miss In the audience named Grace Bedell. When the surprised girl was brought forward Mr. Lincoln climbed down oft the platform, took her up in his arms and, kissing her, said: "You see, Grace, I've let my whiskers grow for you." And thus it has gone down In history that It was on acoount of a child's request that Mr. Lincoln "grew whls kers." The little girl, Grace Bedell, who brought about this ohange, married before she was "an old maid" and Went to live In Delphos, Kan. mm '•.MS'MCk & E Parade at 12:00 Noon. Doors Open at 7:30 P. M.

COTTON Reliable Merchandise Brewer shrugged his shoulders a little angrily, for the Idle remark irritated him. "It's so," persisted the speaker. "You've the best chance on earth to be dishonest if you wanted to and never be suspected. Lucky for the banks—and lucky for you—that you're honest!" The words repeated themselves In his mind as Brewer walked along. Crayfoot was right. Brewer, an expert man on safes, time and time again again held the secrets of bank vaults in his mind, with no man to stop him should he choose to dispose of the night watchman and, opening those vaults, relock them after helping himself. It was indeed lucky that he was honest. With the speculative afhile still curving his lips he turned in at the Guthries' house, springing up the steps with the eagerness which was always his when Gertrude Quthrie was near. As she came toward him, smiling. Brewer thought again, as he had thought Innumerable times before, how all things beautiful should be her& by right—beauty of surroundings, of garb, of Jewels. That she should be wasted in obscurity seemed a crime— and the Guthrie family was in only moderate circumstances, with all the longing of those poor for generations for the power of wealth. That evening he discovered that excitement swayed Gertrude's parents. Evans, the millionaire, had of late shown marked preference for Gertrude's society. So in her mother's heart a wild hope had sprung to life. Brewer, who always had been cordially welcomed before, felt a chill in the air. "You forget," Gertrude's mother told her when she had promised Brewer that she would go with him to the theater the following evening, "you forget that Mr. Evans said he might call." Brewer, watching the color come and go on the girl's face with a queer, choking sensation in his throat, knew that to Gertrude also Evans was a glittering prospect. Walking slowly homeward, thinking it over, he could not blame her. With the possibility of losing her, desperation began to tinge hla thoughts. He was still going over the same weary round mentally the following day as he worked on the time lock of the Eastern bank. Into his musings, clear and sharp like a stroke, floated Crayfoot's Idle suggestion as to his chances to enrich himself. His hands trembled as he worked on. Once or twice he glanced, half frightened. Into the Interior of the vault, where he had no right to go. Strange thoughts disturbed his brain and hls lips tightened into a line as he planned—for It could do no harm to plan. It really was very simple. The only drawback was that eventually suspicion would narrow down to him. By then,- however, he could have his plunder safely concealed. They could prove nothing and Gertrude would believe in him. This thought brought the first chill, for how could he face her, she believing in him? He remembered her trustful eyes and breathed hard. Then he remembered Evans and again took up his planning with tightening lips. There was a queer medley in his brain several nights later when he again sought Gertrude. He had a mad fancy that he could better crystallize hla plang. If he were in her presence 1 ^5 f. "-"v and could hear her voice. Since temptation had beset him he had existed in a daze, thinking, planning, always planning. His eyes were feverish as he bent toward the girl when conversation lagged. "Gertrude," he asked, huskily, "would you give up Evans—would you marry me if I had money—and could give you things?" Startled, she looked at him and then she smiled, the half sad, tender smile women give those for whom they care in spite of all. "But you'll never have money, Louis," she told him. "You are not one of the kind of men who get rloh." Brewer saw only the smile. "I shall be, I tell you!" he said. "And then— you'll marry me?" She drew back and her face whitened as her eyes searched his haggard face. "No," she almost whispered, "no, because if you came to me with a fortune in your hands, Louis, I'd know that r.i hadn't got it honestly." As Brewer gazed into her eyes he felt helplessly that they saw far down into the secret recesses of his soul, were reading the blackness of the thoughts there. He felt that she was shanking from him in a dawning horror. His face dropped into his hands. It was as from a distance that he heard her breathe his name. "Louis," she said, haltingly. "I don't understand. Why should you so misjudge me? Why should a question of wealth enter into the subject of my—marrying you? If I cared, you know? Do you think so poorly of me as that?" The man, raising his head, saw her breathless, flushed with the effort of her words, with that little smile of terderness and self giving. A loathing of hiniself, of the sin that was seared Oh his soul, overwhelmed him, swept him out into the full current of lif§ again. "Oh," he breathed, as he bent over her hands. "Give me time! Give me a chance to show what I can be, Gertrude, with your help!" Natural Bent. Cholly—I can't get one of the ponies in this show to have a word to say to me. Bill—That proves they have horse sense. Quite Different. The Chauffeur—If you don't pay a taxlcab bill in this town you can be arrested. Do you know that? The Load—I'll accept your word for it, old chap.

"fr1"T &"#&+•' DEEP SILOS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMEND!: Larger Storage Capacity Insures Perfect Preservation of Silage Considerations of Economy Another Argument in Favor Deep Siios—Pointers From Iowa Agricultural College. The quality of the silage Improves as the depth increases, due to the weight above. The usual silo today is 80 or more feet deep. A larger percentage of moldy or otherwise inferior silage is found near the top of a silo than at the center or near the bottom, proving that a certain weight is necessary to compresB the silage and exclude the air so as to insure its perfect preservation. By building a deep silo a greater percentage of good Bilage is obtained, which is, of course, a matter of economy. Good practice at present seems to dictate that the depth should be at least 30 feet. Some limitation in height may be necessary in silos of light construction on account of the wind, or the strength of the walls to resist crumpling, but In masonry silos greater height than the average is advisable. A large percentage of good silos are built considerably deeper, even 60 to 60 feet. The capacity of a silo varies as the square of the diameter, while the wall surface varies directly as the diameter. This means that as far as capacity is concerned the silo should be of as large diameter as possible. But there are other limiting factors involved. When silage is left exposed to the air for a short time, more than a day, it spoils. Enough must be removed dally so that It will keep fresh. In well settled silage the air does not penetrate much over an inch, and if 1% to 2 inches are fed from the surface daily the silage will remain fresh. In warm weather the spoiling will take place much more rapidly than In cold weather, requirittg that Bilage be removed from the surface to a depth each day in order to keep it fresh. It has been noticed also that air penetrates into loose, dry silage farther than it does into that which is moist and compact. Thus it is see* that under some circumstances an inch might be sufficient, but in order to have fresh silage under all circumstances the silo should be of such size that approximately two inches will be fed from the surface each day. After silage has been placed in the silo there is more or less settling, the amount of which will depend on the condition of the silage and the amount of tramping it is given when the silo is filled. Under average conditions the settling will amount to about one-sixth or oneflfth of the total depth. Where one silo is used it should be of Buch a depth to provide for the feeding season by removing the necessary amount each day. Thus if the silo has 30 feet of silage in it after settling, it will provide silage for 180 days or six months by removing two inches from the surface each day. The following table gives the capacity of various sizes of round silos and the amount which must be fed dally to lower the surface about two inches per day. This table assumes that the silage is mad$ of well-matured corn FEED FOR THE FALL PIGS During Winter Months Oilmeal or Meat Meal in Conjunction With Corn Should Be Used. W. P. P., Union county, asks: "Why are fall pigs more subject to worms than spring pigs? I have some pigs that have worms and would like to have some information that would help me to get rid of them. Some are beginning to runt a little. Have been feeding mostly warmed soaked corn and slop." Answered by animal husbandry department: "The principal difficulty in rearing fall pigs as compared with spring pigs is that you do not have the same variety of feed during the winter months—during the summer you have plenty of green feed, which has a favorable influence on the digestive system. During the winter months I would suggest that you feed some oilmeal or meat meal to your pigs in conjunction with your corn. This will certainly help you out. Corn alone Is not a good feed for young and growing pigs. You should feed some feed with more protein. Feed say 7 parts corn to 1 part meat meal or 4 parts corn to 1 part oilmeal to young pigs and 1 feel sure that you will get good results."—W. J. Kennedy. Stock Dip. Mr. C. O. Garrett of Iowa says: "Lime-sulphur Is the best stock dip I have ever used. It is very much superior to many dips now on the market, being more effective and more durable, and it is absolutely not Injurious." rv:|^^-i ,5 #3$,.

The amount which should be fed daily is based upon an average weight of 40 pounds per cubic foot. By examining the table the economy of Increasing the depth of the silo is observed. A silo 16 feet in diameter and 30 feet deep will contain 119 tons of silage, while if its depth be 40 feet it will contain ISO tons, or one-half more. Table I.

On account of the request of many to reproduce the poem we reprint it in full this week. Read it again, it will do no harm. St. Peter at the Gate St. Peter stood guard at the golden gate With a solemn mien and an air sedate "When up to the top of the golden stair A man and a woman, ascending there, Applied for admission. Tlioy came and Before St. Peter, so great and good, In hope the City of Peace to win,— And asked St. Peter to let. them in. The woman was tall, and lank, and thin, With a scraggly beardlet upon her chin The man was short, and thick, and stout, as Ilis face was pleasant, and all the while lie wore a kindly and genial smile The choirs in the distance the echoes woke, And the man kept still while the woman spoke. "Oh thou, who guardest the gate," said she We two come hither, beseeching thee To let us enter the Heavenly land, And play our harps with the angel band. Of nie St. Peter, there is no doubt ,. There's nothing from Heaven to bar ME out I've been to meeting three times a week, And almost always I'd rise and speak. I've told the sinners about the day When they'd repent of their evil way,, I've told my neighbors—I've told 'em all 'Bout Adam and Eve and the Primal Fall, I've shown them what they'd have to do If they'd pass in with the chosen few. I've marked their path of duty clear,— Laid out the plan for their Avhole career. I've talked and talked to 'em loud and long, For my lungs are good, and my voice is strong. So, good St. Peter, you'll clearly see The gate of Heaven is open for ME, But my old man, I regret to say, Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow way. He smokes ,and he swears, and grave faults he's got, And I don't know whether he'll pass or not. He never would pray with an earnest vim. Or go to revivals, or join in a hymn. So I had to leave him in sorrow there While I with chosen, united in prayer. He ate what pantry chanced to afford, While I, in my purity, sang to the Lord. And if cucumbers were all he got It's a chance if lie merited them or not. But oil, Peter, I love him, so To the pleasures of Heaven please let him go I've done enough—a saint I've been. Won't that atone? Can't you let him in? Jiy my grim gospel I know lis so That the unrepented must fry below. !. But isn't there some way you can see That he may enter who's dear to me? Its a narrow gospel by which I pray. But the chosen expect to find some way Of coaxing or fooling, or bribing you 1 So that their relations can amble through And say, St. Peter, it seems to me This gate isn't kept as it ought to be You ought to stand right by that opening there And never sit down in that easy chair. And say, St. Peter, my sight is dimmed But I don't like the way your whiskers are trimmed. They're cat too wide, and outward toss They'd look better narrow, cut straight across Well, we must be going, onr crowns to win, So, open, St. Peter and we'll pass in! St. Peter sat. quiet, and stroked his staff, But spite of his office he lia,d to laugh Then said, will a fiery gleam in his eye. "Who's tending this gateway, you or I" And then he arose in bis stature tall. And pressed a button upon the wall. And said he to the imp that answered the bell Escort this lady around to The man stood still as a piece of stone. Stood sadly, gloomily there alone. A lifelong, settled idea he had That his wife was good and he was bad. lie thought if the woman went down below That he would certainly have to go That if she went, to the regions dim There wasn't a ghost of a chance for liiin Slowly he turned ,by habit bent., To follow wherever the woman went. St. Peter ,standing on duty there. Observed that the top of his bead was bare, lie called the gentleman back ,and said. "Friend, how long hast, thou been wed?" "Thirty years," (with a weary sigh.) And then he thoughtfully added, "Why?" St. Peter was silent. With head bent down He raised his hand and scratched his crown. Then, seeming a different, thought to take, Slowly, half to himself, he spoke, "Thirty years with that woman there? No wonder the man hasn't any hair! Swearing is wicked, smoke's not good. He smoked and swore—I should think he would Thirty years with that tongue so sharp? Ho! Angel Gabriel! Give him a harp! A jeweled harp with a golden string! Good sir, pass in where the angels sing! Gabriel, give him a seat alone,One with a cushion, up near the throne! Call up son\e angels to play their best. Let him enjoy the music and rest. See that on finest Ambrosia he feeds. He's had all the he needs. Is isn't just hardly the thing to do To roast him on earth and in the future too. They gave him a harp witli golden strings, A glittering robe, and a pair of wings, And he saidjs he entered the Realm of Day, "Well this beats cucumbers, anyway!" And so ,t.he Scriptures had come to pass "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." stood 1 CUSTER DIED BY OWN HAND Robert Jackson, Old Indian Scout and Guide, Claims Great Fighter Shot Himself. That General Custer, the hero of Custer's massacre, believed to have been scalped and killed by the Sioux on the battlefield, was not murdered by the Indians, but died as the result of a gunshot wound tired by his own hand, is the somewhat startling addition offered to history by Robert Jackson of Costilla, Taos county, New Mexico. Jackson was for nine and a half years a scout and guide for the United States soldiers, his service beginning In 1874 and ending in 1883. Jackson served under General Otis, General 'Reno, Colonel Benteen, General Miles, General Custer and General Hazen. At the time of the battle in which General Custer met his death Jackeon was serving on the Sixth United States infantry carrying dispatches to General Otis, then in command of the laced a Gun to His Head and Fired. Twenty-second infantry. Jackson was with the first company to reach the battlefield after the massacre and gives in detail the scene as it presented itself to him. Jackson says that an examination of Custer's body showed that the wound which caused his death was fired at close range, the powder burns indicating plainly that the pistol was held against the head. Jackson was commanded by General Reno to talk with the Indians after they had been subdued by the United States troops in the hopes of finding out how Custer was killed. The Indians told Jackson that General Custer was the last man to fall in battle. They wanted to take him alive, believing that with him as a prisoner they could force the government to terms. Realizing this fact, Jackson says the Indians told him that Custer placed a gun to his head and fired. According to Jackson the Indians all loved Custer and called him "The Long Haired Chief." Jackson is a picturesque character and although he was in long and dangerous service is not receiving a pension from the government, because he wus not a regularly enlisted soldier. Friends In Taos county are interesting themselves in his behalf and hope to receive aid for him from the government to compensate him for valuable services rendered. Jackson acted as a scout for General Otis when he went to the relief of General Miles, then being on a detail along the Yellowstone river. Jackson also scouted for General Miles when ho was running down Lame Deer and his band. Jackson shot and killed Lame Deer, scalped him and afterwards gave the scalp to General Miles. After the Indians had been driven Into Canada, Jackson acted as a guide when General Miles burned over a large territory along the northern boundary of the United States and drove south the buffalo so that the Indians were forced to surrender the following winter. Find Letter From General Grant. The Historical association of Los Angeles is to be presented with a number of interesting documents recovered from an outlaw's hut, among them a letter written by Gen. U. S. Grant during the siege of Vicksburg. The Grant letter was addressed to Gen. Parks and conveyed orders relative to operations in front of the Confederate stronghold. The other papers are supposed to have been stolen from Gen. Manuel Garcia of the Mexican army. That the documents had been secreted in the hovel for many years was shown by their condition and by the further fact that the hut, a dilapidated old abode near Ferris, was abandoned when the railroad supplanted the stage line on the run between Los Angeles and San Diego.

N08E OUT OF JOINT.* Too needn't cry and look so aad: I love you. Pusay, dear, the aama, I truly do—as I loved you 1 Before this cunning kitty came. But things are changed a little now. You know, and, 'cause he's a little tot, I've got to 'tend the moat to him— Tour nose la out of Joint, that's whatt OLDEST "CITY"- IN AMERICA Scientists Discover Copan Burled In the Forests of Honduras, Was Once Busy Center. You were doubtless taught that St. Augustine, Fla., 1b the oldest city In America, and BO far as settlements by Europeans are concerned that Is probably correct, but scientists know of a oity so old that there 1b no telling when it was built, and they often speak of it a* "the oldest city in America." This "city" Is Copa'n, burled In the forests of Honduras, near the Guatemala boundary line. It Is not a city In the modern sense of the word, for It Is only a heap of rutas, but there 1B enough to show that at some time centuries and centuries ago it was a busy center of population. Then the Maya Indians of Yucatan and Central America were at the height of their civilization. They built cities by constructing the bases of great pyramids out of blocks of stone of enormous size. These blocks were taken from quarries some times 'two miles distant, were conveyed to the "city" and placed In the wall In Jperfect order, and yet It 1b not known ,that the Mayas had any machinery ifor handling such heavy material. The pyramidal abase of Copan is built up to considerable height, and upon the flat top are placed the palaces, the altars and other smaller pyramids. From all evidence Copan was In ruins when Cortez conquered Mexico In 1C21. The Spaniard and his soldiers passed wlthlp a short distance of It and did not see the town at all, so it must have been deserted even then. And yet tfte ruins of Copan bear evidence of having lain there, burled amid the luxuriant foliage of Honduras, for ages, and only some crude Inscriptions on the rooks can give a clue to the history of the wonderful place. TheBe Inscriptions and carvings still defy solution. There are statues and Images made of rock, but they are meaningless. Copan's history Is unknown and so scientist* are Vont to speak of it as "the oldest city In America." Foley Kidney Pills area true medicine They are healing, strengthening, antiseptic and tonic.

PATTY, Route I EXIRA 'I fcrfv-"'* .1 -v u* 1 I An Unexpected v^V-rc Wrf Dick Huntington was seated at his desk, looking over the mail. Dick was president of one of the largest clothing stores in Chicago. He had begun as errand boy and had been gradually promoted until, at the last meeting of the board of directors, Ire was elected president. Shortly after taking the office of president, he shifted Robert Patterson, one of the floor walkers, to the position of assistant manager and purchasing agent. Bob was now In Europe, having gone there a month before to secure for the firm the latest styles In clothing. He was expected back within a short time, and, as Dick was anxious to set the men to working on the new styles, he awaited Bob's arrival with no small interest. Being at the head of the firm, his greatest desire was to make this year the greatest in the history of the clothing business. He was busily engaged looking oveiv his mall that morning and had nearly finished, when he heard a rap on his door. At his request, the door was opened, admitting a messenger boy. He handed Dick a telegram and left the ofllce. Dick glanced at the telegram anil found it to be from Bob. He hastily tore open the envelope and read the following message addressed tii:him personally: 1 "Will be back Thursday. Married. Everything O. K. fibh." Dick, after reading the message, "sat back in his chair and had a hearty laugh over the news. He rang the bell for +he stenographer. Dorothy Wilcox entered the private office. She was a pretty girl about 25 years of age and she came from a l.ighly respected family. "Miss Wilcox, I have just received a telegram. It contains the best piece of news I have heard for a long time. Bob Patterson is coming back next Thursday. He will be accompanied by his wife." To Dick's surprise Dorothy let the shorthand book fall from her hand Her face grew almost as white as her shirtwaist. The news had almoBt stunned her, for she and Bob had Becretly become engaged and were to have been married In August. She loved him and had always believed that he loved her but now, while he was in Europe, he had met another girl and married her. Could she bear the shock? It was hard for her, but she was determined not to break down over It. She took the shorthand book which Dick had picked up and, taking a seat at the desk, made ready for dictation. The next few days passed quickly and before Dick knew it it was Thursday. The train upon which Bob was to arrive was an hour late and did not pull in until 1:30 in the afternoon. Dick had requested all the employees to be at the station at the arrival of the bride and groom and give them a warm reception. He had appointed Miss Wilcox, not knowing of her relations to Robert, to act as head of the reception committee at the gate. She did not wish to'do this, but Dick was one of those men who is always kind to his employees, but when he said a thing he wanted it done. Therefore, dreading it even as she did, Dorothy decided to obey her employer and do his bidding. About 1 o'clock the employees of the firm began to assemble at the station. They kept on coming until, at 1:30, they were all there. The carriage arrived, decorated for the occasion. A large sign was fastened on the back, reading, "Just married," and several strings of shoes were dragging after it. The employees formed in two lines from the gate to the carriage. One of the lines was headed by Miss "Wilcox and the other by the floor walker. Thus arranged, they awaited the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson! They did not have to wait long. The train soon pulled in. Now was Dorothy's test. Would she break down? She felt as if she could not stand a moment longer. Her heart was nearly broken it beat wildly within her. But—she would at least hold out until Bob was driven away in the carriage. With this decision, she waited silently. Presently, Bob was seen approaching the gate. He was alone. Where was his wife? Everyone was puzzled. When he came to the gate, he was surprised at seeing everyone waiting for him. What did it mean Why this celebration? He was quickly asked where his wife was and he was taken unawares. His wife? Where had the news originated He asked for an explanation and was told of the telegram which Dick had received. He soon solved the problem. A friend In Europe, wishing to play a Joke on him, had sent that telegram. He was Dot-married. It was all a Joke. "Dick," he said, "there is no Mrs. Patterson—at present—but there Boon will be one," and to the surprise of all, he walked over to Dorothy and, taking her by the arm, led her through the two lines of employees and Into the carriage. He directed the driver to the parson's home, and, inBid* of an hour, Dorothy, who, a short tlm£ before had believed her heart to be broken, was being held tightly in her husband's arms, the happiest woman In the world.
