tiilfii!f If tM iff ((( J HOME AND, HOUSEHOLD.- J The J.adies Aid.; We've put a fine addition on the old chureh at home, ' It's just the latest kilter, with a gal lery and dome, -It seata a thouiand people-rfiuest church In all the town, And when 'twas dedicated, why we . planked ten thousand down; I ' That is, we paid five thousand every . " - deacon did hie best ' ' ' And the Ladles Aid Society, it prom ised all the rest. '. ' We're trot an organ in the church " vftrv ftnant In th land - - - , , It's got a thousand pipes or more, ita ; , melody is grand. And when we sit on cushioned pews It earries her to realms of bliss on numbered miles away. ' . It cost a cool three thousand, and it's " stood the hardest test; ' dies' Aid the rest. ' They'll give a hundred sociables, ' cantatas, too and teas: They'll make a thousand angel canes, r - . and tons of cream they'll freeze. , They'll beg and scrape and toil and sweat for seven years or more, Ana men iney 11 sian tu u er naia, for a carpet for the floor. No, it isn't Just like digging out the . money from your vest When the Ladies' Aid gets busy and says: "We'll pay the rest." Of course we're proud! of our big church from pulpit up to spire; It is the darling" of our eyes, the crown of of our desire. But when I see the sisters work to raise the cash that lacks, I somehow feel the church, is built on women's tired backs, And sometimes I can't help thinking when we reach the regions blest, That men will get the toil and sweat, and the Ladles Aid the rest. Reformed Church Herald, of Lis bon, La. Death to Cockroaches. For many years the English government has paid large sums to professional roach killers, who would rid post offices, etc., of the pests, when they became too nu merous. In every country public and private expenditures have been made under the same head, and the methods of the roach kill ers had never I teen brought to light, although diligent search was made, for they always stipulated that they should le permitted to work alone; and they saw that they did. Alio, they removed all traces of their work, as far as they could, nothing remaining behind except an occasional dead roach. Finally, one English official had such a roach analyzed, and found that it was substantially a stone roach a shell filled with plaster of parts, and glucose, the latter- evi dently first having been sugar. So he tried to get roaches to eat plast er of parts mixed with sugar, but without success; , they would eat the sugar, but avoid the plaster. Then he studied roaches, and final ly louna that whatever else a roach might know, it did not know sugar and plaster apart by the taste or smell, and that if they were otherwise alike the roach would devour both Bubstances, when mixed. Microscopical exam ination of plaster of parts and su gar led to the discovery that what is known as icing sugar exactly resembles plaster of mparts in the size of grain, the weight and the color. This was tried, but the result was only partly satisfactory, enough, however, to show that the secret was partly solved. The problem seemed to be to mix the two so thoroughly that they should be alwolutely insepar able. This was done with ma chines, which sifted the two powd ers into the same receptacle with perfect equality, half and half of each. When this scientifically prepared mixture was taken to the proving grounds and spread upon the floor there were no live roaches left in the morning. But as there was no professional there to clean up the place was a sight, three barrowfuts of absolutely stone dead cockroaches being car ried out of the place Iwforebasiness opened. Unknown Friends There are many people who have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with splen did results, but who are unknown because they have hesitated about giving a testimonial of their experi ence for publication. These people, however, are none the less friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a household word by their personal recommendations to friends and neighbors, It is a good medicine to have in the home and is widely known for its cures of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble. For sale by J. E. Shell, Dr. Kent's Drug Store and Granite Falls' Drug Co. His Own Boy. Dr, Cortland Myers, of . Brook lyn, relates the following story as told by a ship's surgeon: i "On our last trip a boy fell overboard from the deck. I didn't know who he was, -and the crew hastened out to save- him. They brought himxon board the ship, took off hts outer garments, turned him over a few times and worked his hands and feet. . . . When they had done all they knew how to do, I came up to be of assistance and found he was dead and beyond help. I turned away as I said to them. ' 'I think you have done all you can;' but just then a sudden impulse told me I ought to go over and see what I could do. I went over and looked into the boy's face and discovered that it was my own boy. Well, you may lelieve I didn't think the last thing had been done. I pulled off my coat and bent over that boy; I blew in his nostriis and breathed into his mouth; I turned him over and over, and simply begged God to bring him back to life, and four long hours I worked, until just at sunset I began to see the least flutter of breath that told me he lived. Oh, I will never see another boy drown without taking off my coat in the first instance and going to him and trying to save him as if I knew he were my own Itov." The Lovinj Parent. Up near Morningside Park the other morning early pedestrians were attracted by a man who stood on the sidewalk going through the contortions of a Japanese acroltat. He waved his ' hands above his head, he bowed until his head almost touched the pavement, and then he started to dance. "That fellow is a lunatic," com mented a young woman. "Guess he's got the jimjams," ventured a "white wing" who was sweeping the street. "Escaped from Bel lev ue," said another w ise one. A policeman arrived ontheseene and touched the dancer on the shoulder. "What's the matter wid ye," he demanded. "Got out of the bug ward or are yer going there!" The man braced himself with a DO YOU WANT A JOB Of nice Printing? If so leave your or ders with the New Printery. The best equipped office in this part of the State. Work guaranteed to satisfy.

"I don't understand you," he said, sternly. "What are you talking about, officer!" "Why, what are you doing out here acting like a monkey on the public street! Look at the people." "Hang the people. What do I care altout them! I am signaling the baby good-bye before I go down to the office. I do it every morning. See him up at the win dow in his mother's arms! I tell you he's the finest baby in this town. And the proud father continued to dance to the smiling little face that was peering from a window. What,s the good of keeping from him Any good things you may see. That will lift his load of labor Like Kocky Mountain Tea. Dr. Kent's drug store. Wise and Otherwise. Some people save a lot of time by telling the truth. When opportunity knocks it doesn't use a hammer. It is easy to expect others to set good examples. Most of a man's hero worship is wasted on himself. Sometimes money talks, but more often it stops talk. I)o your best for your Ihjks or he may do without you. Misers get more out 01 the world than they put in it. Most of us do things merely ln cause other people do them. No wise person ever goes to a confidence man for confidence. Prodigals have always exceeded the supply of fatted calves. A prayer that is long drawn out is apt to Ite rather narrow. Love, like whiskey, makes one do many unaccountable and foolish things. We always watch a man who groans a great deal about the sins ot others. A man remarked one day that his buttons were all off, so he thought he would get married. His married friend told him not to delude himself by thinking mar riage would remedy it. A bachelor one day set the table in his lonely alnxie with plates for himself and an imaginary wife and five children. He sat down to dine, and as he put the same quan ity on each of the other plates, and surveyed the prospeqs, at the same time computing the cost. He still is a bachelor.
