The worst one can say of Auckland is that it is absolutely all right. The French simply can not understand Wilbur Wright. He must talk with his hands still. A man named Wind won $15,000 in a Panama lottery, and, of course, blew it all in inside of a week. Another evidence that the horseless age has not yet been reached is New York's crusade against horse thieves. A Washington couple have had the union label printed on their wedding invitations. Does that make the walking delegate the best man? A Colorado couple got married the other day and the license bore the number 1313. Their divorce papers will probably be marked 2323. New Zealand is a great sociological laboratory, but in her advertisements strict accuracy is not considered essential, it would seem. The owners of skyscrapers seem to entertain the idea that the windows were made to be seen through. This proves them to be frank idealists. The speed craze is a pathological condition known as "locomotor mania," says a French savant. The police know of a fine little cure for that complaint. An 18-year-old husband in New York has been having serious trouble with his second wife. Probably she refused to let him play with the other boys in the neighborhood. A writer in a popular magazine describes dynamite as "canned thunder." If he should try to use a can-opener on it he might find that he had spoken better than he knew. "Chorus girls gain wisdom with age," says the Jacksonville Times-Union. That can't be true, or some of them would be the wisest people on earth. Which they aren't. A French expert says that the broken wing of the aeroplane is the punctured tire of the automobile. The difference is that when the tire pops, the machine is on the ground. It is a very sad day for all the boys who have been inventing flying machines in the rear of the woodshed, and as yet haven't got them so tractable that they will leave the earth. Chicago is supposed to be 75 years old. It is no mere compliment to say that she does not look her age. However, she will be just as fresh and lively when she is twice her present age. West New York, N. J., is in hard luck. It has no money to buy feed for the horses in its fire department, and, in fact, still owes for the horses. It ought to go into the hands of a receiver. An impression is gaining ground that a Chicago college professor is not considered a success unless he says something that would sound downright nonsensical as coming from the average intellect. A 90-year-old Connecticut man committed suicide because he didn't want to live to be a hundred. Some people have such a morbid fear of their personal habits—smoking, drinking, etc.—getting into the Sunday papers. According to Humane Officer Ware, 16,425 women have been beaten by Toledo husbands in the last 15 years. During the same period three times as many Cleveland women, declares the Leader of that city, have been presented with diamond rings and sealskin coats. By L. A. LEONARD. (Copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Co.) Any one who belonged to the old Easton Lyceum will be sure to preserve a vivid recollection of the gatherings of that famous body, and above all, of the genial presiding officer. That dignitary, Mr. Matt Spencer, was an old man in those days a little rising 70, but he was as jolly as the most youthful, and enjoyed a good story as thoroughly as did any of the young men with with whom he delighted to associate. Usually our meetings were so well attended as to leave little time for any save the serious objects for which the Lyceum existed. So it was an extraordinary occasion when, one night, a driving storm kept away so many of the faithful that the customary quorum failed to show up. That the dozen present, however, must have embraced some pretty good material, I feel sure, for as I look back, I remember that they included a future United States senator, two or three able lawyers, one or two future successful newspaper and literary men, and one man who has since held half a dozen prominent positions in his state. Naturally, with such a gathering, even a 'no quorum' meeting couldn't prove tame. And though the regular program was out of the question—a discussion of Shakespeare's intention concerning the character of Iago was to have been in order—it was unanimously voted to devote the evening to story telling—with the result that our narratives gradually took on an impressiveness in keeping with the temper of the night. After various yarn-spinnings whose subjects don't matter here some one turned to Mr. Spencer with a request for one of his famous tales. A look of serious intentness deepened the lines in the old man's face as he glanced around to see if the rest of us were equally anxious for a story from him. Of course we were. Reaching for his old pipe, and pulling off a few scales of tobacco from the plug that had become well dried in the drawer of his table, he pushed them into the bowl, and asked for a match. After the pipe was sufficiently started so that it could be held between his thumb and forefinger without going out as he reached the most interesting passages, he began: "This is the one ghost story," said he, "which is duly authenticated and certified to by the records of a court. I heard my father tell it, and he heard it direct from his father, who was alive when the incidents happened and the case was tried. In those days the county of Talbot embraced the entire peninsular part of Maryland, and although the legal matters took place in Easton, the Osborns lived in that part of the state which now forms the county of Kent. "Mr. Osborn was a highly respected Englishman, who had come to this country with his five boys, for the purpose of bettering his fortunes. The sons had grown up, and by their united efforts the family had become large land owners. His extensive estate was divided into two parts—'Glenham' and 'Willow Crest,' which lay some six miles apart. Both were excellent properties in colonial days, but Glenham was the more valuable of the two. Mr. Osborn died, and Peter, the eldest son, attempted in the county court to establish a verbal will by which Glenham was to be left to him, and Willow Crest to be divided among the other sons. The will was a very unfair one, as we regard things to-day, but under the English idea of primogeniture, which was firmly fixed in the people's minds, such an arrangement was not unusual in those days. So, though in a mild way Peter's brothers resisted his efforts to establish the will, no great bitterness was shown on either side, and the indications were that Peter would win his case and secure possession of Glenham. But the case was postponed from week to week until, finally, Peter came to court one Tuesday morning with a look of consternation on his face, avowing his purpose of withdrawing from the effort to establish the will. When court opened, he said he was there with some witnesses to prove a most extraordinary incident and that he desired to withdraw the non-cupitane will which he A "Peter, Don't Do That." had attempted to set up, and to ask that his father's estate be equally divided among the children. Then he told the following remarkable story, and established the truth of it by witnesses whom he had brought: "While at work in the field the other day, two neighbors were walking along with me towards the turning row. We were discussing the will and the probabilities of my success. As we approached the end of the row my father suddenly appeared at the side of the fence. He said to me, in a clear and distinct voice: "Peter, don't do that. Don't try to rob your brothers in that way. You know I never intended that it should be done." "While he spoke, my two neighbors, Mr. Hale and Mr. Cressup, heard the voice and understood every word that he said. When he ceased speaking, he laid his hand on the top rail of the fence, and we all saw the smoke arise from it. A moment later he was gone, but the print of the forefinger and thumb were distinctly burned into the rail. I have brought the rail with me that the judges may examine it, and Mr. Hale and Mr. Cressup are both ready to testify to the truth of what I have said.' "It is recorded that the judges examined the rail and heard the testimony of the two witnesses, both of whom testified to having heard the voice, although neither of them saw the figure of Squire Osborn, as did Peter. And, furthermore, when this case was being recorded by the clerk of the court, a drop of blood fell upon the book as the last word was written, and this drop of blood may be examined to-day on the oldest record book of this county." HAS PLAYED MUCH CRIBBAGE New Yorker Claims to Hold Record in Number of Games He Has Participated In. Capt. Charles H. Fitts of 107 West Eighty-ninth street, a retired broker, holds the record in the number of games of cribbage played. He has 10,000 to his credit now, with one series of 5,000 in which he leads as winner by 700 games. During all these games he never has seen the 29-hand held and has held the 28 but once himself. "Cribbage won me a trip (and a most delightful one at that) to Japan," said the captain the other day. "At a San Francisco hotel I made the acquaintance of a captain on a Pacific liner who was as fond as I of the game. When the day for sailing came he insisted on having me make the trip, too. We played early and late. The Pacific ocean is admirably adapted to card games. It was all smooth sailing, so the captain had little to do but to join me pegging runs, combinations and flushes."—N. Y. Press. SEEING OXFORD. An Oxford student is showing two fair cousins through Christchurch college. "That," he explained, "is the picture gallery; that, the library, and that tower contains the famous bell, 'Great Tom of Oxford.'" Stooping quickly, he picked up a stone and sent it crashing through a second story, ivy-framed window, where there immediately appeared a face, purple with rage. "And that," added the young man, helpfully, "is the dean." Thus it was that he came to leave one seat of learning for another. Success. SAME OBJECT.

It quickly calls attention to trouble by aching. It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is LYDIA E.PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND LYDIA E.PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Will Young, of 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me., says: "I was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had done for others and decided to try it; after taking three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me and made me feel like a new woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness, or nervous prostration. THE FALL CLEANING THINGS IT WILL BE HANDY FOR YOU TO KNOW. Easy Ways of Doing Renovating and Cleaning—Timely Hints for the Good House- keeper. It is half in knowing how to do a thing. One of the trials of domestic life is the housecleaning, but that strenuous season may be made less a burden by putting brains as well as brawn into the work. For this reason we submit the following varied assortment of hints, that those who run may read and reading may obtain the blessing from the possession of knowledge wisely used: Carpets should be beaten on the wrong side first and then more gently on the right. Never put a carpet down on a damp floor, for this often results in the carpet becoming mildewed. Kerosene will remove tar, varnish, and other like substance from the hands and will also cleanse varnish brushes. A bit of flannel dipped in the oil will usually be sufficient to clean the hands. A little very fine salt rubbed upon stained china will remove spots and lines made by tea and other liquids. Verdigris on metal can be quickly removed by rubbing with a soft rag dipped in liquid ammonia. Many a piece of old haircloth furniture can be made most attractive if covered with pretty chintz or cretonne. With these coverings one can have hangings to match. Nothing adds more to a room than its draperies. To dry lace curtains without a stretcher wind quilting frames with muslin. Pin each point of the curtains evenly to the muslin; two or three may be put on at once, one over the other. Dry in the open air or indoors in a warm room. Never paper a wall that is inclined to be damp without first making it impervious to moisture by applying a varnish of one part shellac to two of naphtha. The disagreeable odor will soon disappear and, after papering, there will be no more trouble from moisture stains. When washing lace never rinse it in blue water, with the idea of improving its color. Real lace should be finally rinsed in skim milk, which will give it a soft, creamy color. If the covers of the kitchen range get red and will not blacken, try rubbing on lemon juice first, then blacken the usual way. When ants gather on your pantry shelves, make a pie-crust dough, using lard for shortening; bake in the oven, and when done lay in pieces on the shelves, and in a few days there will not be an ant around. In darning curtains if the rent is large take a piece of an old curtain and patch the hole with it and the damage will scarcely be noticed. Clean enameled bath tubs and marble wash bowls with kerosene, then rinse thoroughly with strong soapsuds to remove the odor of the kerosene. Organdies, chambrays and fine cambrics may be washed without danger of fading if they be washed first in clear water in which a cupful of very coarse salt has been dissolved. Soap and powdered chalk mixed and rubbed on mildew spots, will remove them. To expedite matters let the spotted article lie in the sun for a few hours, damping it again as it dries. Corn Relish. To one dozen ears of corn add six red sweet peppers, one head of cabbage, two tablespoons of salt, three large cups of brown sugar, two quarts of vinegar and half pound of dry mustard. Cut corn from cob, add cabbage and peppers chopped, and sugar, salt, mustard and vinegar. Boil 20 minutes. Seal carefully. RAISED FROM SICK BED. After All Hope Had Vanished. Mrs. J. H. Bennett, 59 Fountain St., Gardiner, Me., says: "My back used to trouble me so severely that at last I had to give up. I took to my bed and stayed there four months, suffering intense pain, dizziness, headache and inflammation of the bladder. Though without hope, I began using Doan's to trouble me so severely that at last I had to give up. I took to my bed and stayed there four months, suffering intense pain, dizziness, headache and inflammation of the bladder. Though without hope, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and in three months was completely cured. The trouble has never returned." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Temporarily Indisposed. One of the workers in a Chinese mission in Philadelphia became interested in two Chinamen who, she found, owned a flourishing laundry business in her own home neighborhood. She looked in once in awhile to see how things were going with them, and one morning found Sam smiling and cheerful, as usual, but John was missing. "Where is John this morning?" she asked. "Oh," answered Sam amiably, "Chlistian gen'leman hit him in the head with a blck, and he all same in hospital" Two to one; bar one. Gave It to Them Straight. At a heavy transfer point on Sixth avenue, says a letter to the New York Times, few seats being vacant on a Twenty-third street car, a youth darted under the arm of a stout woman and plumped himself down in the seat she was about to occupy. Glaring, she hurled at him: "If I wasn't a perfect lady I'd swat you one on the mouth." Another young man arose, raised his hat, and begged her to sit down. When seated she beamed upon him and said: "Sir, you're a gentleman; them others is hogs." NO GUSHER But Telis Facts About Postum. "We have used Postum for the past eight years," writes a Wis. lady, "and drink it three times a day. We never tire of it. "For several years I could scarcely eat anything on account of dyspepsia, bloating after meals, palpitation, sick headache—in fact was in such misery and distress I tried living on hot water and toast for nearly a year. "I had quit coffee, the cause of my trouble, and was using hot water, but this was not nourishing. "Hearing of Postum I began drinking it and my ailments disappeared, and now I can eat anything I want without trouble. "My parents and husband had about the same experience. Mother would often suffer after eating, while yet drinking coffee. My husband was a great coffee drinker and suffered from indigestion and headache. "After he stopped coffee and began Postum both ailments left him. He will not drink anything else now and we have it three times a day. I could write more but am no gusher—only state plain facts."

A Nevada man having extensive mining claims in the goldfield region tells of a lucky strike that was made last year near Carson City, a strike that proved to be of such promise that a goodly sized camp immediately sprang up around it. The two principal mine owners were, respectively, an Irishman and a Jew, and as a compliment to these leading citizens the camp decided to leave to them the bestowal of a suitable name upon the new community There followed many conferences between the two, none of which resulted in an agreement. The Irishman stood out for a name that would suggest his native isle, while the Jew was just as insistent, on his part, for a name that should be suggestive of the chosen people. This deadlock continued so long that the rest of the camp grew restless, and finally insisted that there should be a compromise. So the new camp was called "Tipperusalem."—Lippincott's. SKIN TROUBLES CURED. First Had Itching Rash—Threatened Later With Blood-Poison in Leg— Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F. Hennen, Milan, Mo., May 13, 1907." Was Used to It. On a very hot Sunday morning James was required to accompany his father to church. That was contrary to his inclination. "Father," said he, "why need people go to church when it is so hot? "My son," his father replied, "Satan is around as much in hot weather as at any time." "Oh," said the boy, "but Satan does not mind hot weather!"

"In your campaign speeches," said the idealist, "and in your private conversation, too, you must tell people only the simple and direct truth."

The colored men who are followers of Suake should be seen after, and all means possible used to get them to vote. Its the policy of the Snake Indians not to vote and this means aid to the Democrats as the negro followers of Snake are Republicans. Go after the Snake vote and get it. Creager's Maiden speech is a gem. As congressman from the fighting 3rd district of Oklahoma he will make good. The voters can now see the difference between a real man and donothing Jim.

We must get out the 600 Republican voters that staid at home last fall, when this is done the victory is won. ---
