Tellefson of Rockdale a very pleasant surprise at his home Tuesday night. The event was gotten up as an appreciation of the service Mr. Tellef son has so generously given in direct ing the building of the new church, just completed. A handsome chain and charm was presented to him by those assem bled. Deerfield Howard Leyda had a deep gash cut across the sole of his foot by a broken bottle last Monday evening while bath ing in Lake Ripley. He was rushed to one of the Cambridge doctors who had to put in many stitches to close the wound. Chas. Albright, who spent the latter pprt of the winter on the Sandwich Is lands, where there is perpetual sum mer, and since has traveled over the west coast extensively, says that this country right here is the beauty spot of the world just the same.

Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to care deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by ca= tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed oondition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send fro circular, free. F. J. Cheeney & Cos., Toledo, O. WHold by druggists, 75c. Take Hall’s Family Pills for Constipation Fragrant FarnV Some say It has the fragrancy of new mown hay. It reminds others of fresh strawberries. There are also those who detect It In the perfume of the wild rose. Opinions differ as to what the fragrance resembles, but all opin ions are unanimous In praising it So they call It the fragrant fern. It grows In small, round clumps In clefts on the face of a precipice, out of reach of collectors, who haven't the patience to hunt for it. For this rea son It is not well known. Its out of the waj Jaunts provide an effectual tiding place? ' ’ **** - The hardiness of the fragrant fern surprises the amateur collector. It grows in fuli glare of the sun, In places where more common ferns would be scorched and withered. Yet the fronds remain green throughout the year, and even the year-old fronds, which turn brown at the end of the season, curl up around the roots of the plant and cling to the rocks.—Phil adelphia North American. Tact and Success. Tact is a combination of good tem per, ready wit, quickness of percep tion and ability to take in the exigency of the occasion instantly. It is never offensive, but is a balm allaying sus picion and soothing. It Is appreciated. It is plausible without being dishon est, apparently consults the welfare of the second party and does not mani fest any selfishness, it is never antag onistic, never opposes, never strokes the hair the wrong way and never irri tates. Tact, like a fine manner, eases the way, takes the jar out of the jolts, oils the bearings, opens doors barred to others, sits in the drawing room when others must wait in the recep tion hall, gets Into private offices when others are turned down. It admits you into exclusive circles, where wealth abounds, even though poor. It secures the position when merit is turned away. Tact is a great manager. It easily controls people, even when com bined with small ability, when genius cannot get along. Little Things Count. The more complex life grows the more these little things count. One or two men at the pumping station could produce a water famine for 2,000,000 people. Cut a very thin wire, and a city is In total darkness. Five cents’ worth of calico Is enough to eclipse Raphael’s finest Madonna. When everybody walked to his ap pointed place of work nothing short of a universal calamity would keep ev erybody away from work. Now a de fective feed wire will halt a hundred thousand in trolley cars. And because these little things do foot up to such big totals the human element remains Important despite all our inventions. Most failures are men and women failures, not machine failures.—Phila delphia Ledger. Lettres de Cachet. Lettres de cachet was the name given In France to warrants sealed with the king’s seal ordering persons to be thrown into prison or exiled. The first came into use about 1670 and shortly became one of the popular terrors of France. It is that no less thaij 9,000 lettres de cachet were issued during the reign of Louis XIV. and 80,000 dur ing the reign of Louis XV. In many cases these tertjble documents were secretly sold and used as a source of illicit revenue. They were frequently signed in blank, and the holder of one of these royal terrors could write in the name of any person against whom he happened to have a grudge. The na tional assembly abolished this iniqui tous privilege of issuing lettres de cachet on Nov. 1, 1789. Rattling Windows. in some houses the windows have an unpleasant habit of rattling at all times of the day and night when there is the least wind. In such a case an ordinary clothespin is most effective. It must be split in half and one half inserted on each side between the framework and the window or between the sashes. A good plan is to paint the clothespeg the same color as the window frame and secure the pieces by a cord and screw to the frame so that they will be in readiness when needed. A Problem. “That is my hired man asleep up there in the crotch of that oak tree,” said honest Farmer Hombeak. “You are entitled to one guess as to whether he dumb up there to slumber or went to sleep on the ground on top of an acorn which grew up with him.”- Kansas City Star. A Cent. The habit of calling the cent piece of our American coinage a “penny” is utterly without foundation or excuse. We have no penny in our coinage. At one time half cent pieces were coined, but now the unit is a cent, the hun dredth part of a dollar. Wonderful. In the art department a few days ago one of the students drew the picture of a hen so lifelike that when she threw it into the waste basket it laid there. — Liverpool Post. Give Her Time.

PHONE NO. SO Willson’s Flower Shop STATE FAIR IS OPEN AT NIGHT; TO GIVE FIVEMAMMOTH SHOWS Gordon s SIO,OOO War Spectacle In Fireworks, Bird Man Gertson Looping-the-Loop, Twenty-two Vaude ville and Circus Acts and Parades Will Be Seen, Four Bands Will Be Heard Each Night. Milwaukee, Aug. 27. During five nights of State Fair week, Sept. 10 to 15, beginning Monday night, the State Fair will not only be a city of light, but each night a mammoth program of entertainment equal to any to be seen in America this year will be presented. An idea of the magnitude of the pro gram each night may be obtained when it is said that there will be twenty two acts by the highest class vaude ville and circus performers—Louis Gertson, daring aviator, looping the loop with his machine a blaze of light; half a dozen parades passing the grand stand while other entertainment goes on; four bands playing at one time, the whole to conclude with the SIO,OOO Gordon’s War Spectacle in fireworks, including 300 people. "f To handle the acts alone requires a corps of twenty-four trained stage hands. Lighting in front of the grand stand to enable performers to present their acts and the crowds to see alone costs $1,200 for the five nights. Outside the Houae. How many beautiful homes on which money has been spent lavishly to make them complete are marred by some de fect in the landscape work! A few hours’ motor trip through the suburbs of almost any city in the country will reveal many such cases. The most fre quent jar the trained eye receives is from the poorly laid out walks and driveways in which badly arranged curves are used or walks made to curve around an oval grass plot placed in the center for no other reason than to make pedestrians take time to circle about that particular grass plot. Post men, messenger boys and others take a short cut, and soon a path in the proper direction is worn across the sod. When a curve is used in a walk or driveway there should be a reason for it." If there is no other reason plant one; place a tree or two or shrubs in a position so the curve will seem neces sary. People then will keep on the walk, and the plan will seem reason able.—New York Sun. Making a Magnet. The simplest way of magnetizing a bar of steel is that known as “single touch.” The bar to be magnetized is laid on the table, and the pole of a powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to twenty times along its length, always in the same direction. If the north pole of the magnet is employed the end of the bar first touched will also become a north pole, while the opposite end, at which the magnet is lifted before re turning, will be a south pole. There are other and more complicat ed methods, known as “divided touch” and “double touch,” in which two and even four magnets are employed. A steel bar can also be magnetized by placing it within a coil of insulated wire, through which a galvanic current is circulating. The magnetism induced in this way, however, is weak com pared with that which can be procured if the same strength of current is em ployed through the intervention of an electromagnet. ~ On Floor of the Ocean. It is believed that to an enormous extent the bed of the ocean is covered with lava and pumice stone. Still more remarkable is it to find the floor of the ocean covered in many parts with the dust of meteorites. These bodies whirl about in the heavens like minia ture comets, and are for the most part broken into innumerable fragments. The general admission at night will be 25 cents. The aim in presenting the mammoth show each night will be to conclude so that crowds may be on their way downtown at 10:30 o’clock. Each night’s show will open with a display of the largest American flag ever seen, while the crowds sing a patriotic air, led by the bands. The entire Fair will be open and run ning full blast each night until 10:30 o’clock, so that the special entertain ment is provided for those who have spent the day among the exhibits and have waited until night for rest and recreation. All who saw the tremendous pro gram given the night of Milwaukee Day last year will have a keen appre ciation of what is in store each night this year. Ruth Law's amazing feats in the air last year will be excelled by the in trepid Gertson, who will use a brand new military aeroplane. Gertson is one of Uncle Sam’s star flyers. A Father Vaughan Story. Father Bernard Vaughan, the famous English Jesuit preacher, says what he means and means what he says and is never afraid of directing his criti cisms even against the most powerful sections of society, especially the idle rich. An amusing reference was once made to the fiery methods of denunciation he employs when in the pulpit. He had been preaching in Rome and had, as usual, dealt out plain truths about everybody with his accustomed force. One of the cardinals remarked that he preached like an Italian. “Yes,” said another dignitary, “but he is an Italian. He was born on Vesuvius, and we only sent him to England to cool.”—London Globe. Politics and Tobacco. Something like half a century ago a man named Dan Bradley started the custom in a little cigar store in Brook lyn of keeping a box of smoking to bacco on the counter, with a sign above it saying, “Fill your pipe.” Part ly on the strength of his popularity, due in no small degree to the free fill ings for a pipe, Bradley ran independ ently for the state senate and was elect ed as against the regular candidate. “Five thousand clay pipes did the trick for Dan” was a saying at the time. “A man would have to give away au tomobiles to get elected to the senate nowadays,” observed one of the new school of politicians. “The days of the election cigar and tobacco are gone forever.”—New York World. Damascus Swords. Damascus swords, whose fame at one time made them almost one of the won ders of the world, were made of al ternate layers of iron and steel, so finely tempered that the blade would bend to the hilt without breaking, with an edge so keen that no coat of mail could resist it and a surface so highly polished that when a Moslem wished to rearrange his turban he used his sword for a looking glass." Substitute For Tobacco. Throughout the tropical orient the natives employ a substitute for tobac co consisting of a slice of areca palm nut, wrapped in betel leaf, flavored with a fine lime made of native sea shells and colored with carmine. The habit is universal, especially with the women, r.nd sellers of ‘‘betel nut' m-vy be seen on many of the street corner iu Saigon and other cities of Indo china.
