Looking' out over the many homes of this country, we see thousands of women wearing away their lives in household drudgery that might be materially lessened by the use of a few cakes of S APOt.IO. If an hour is saved each time a cake is used, if one less wrinkle gathers upon theface because the toil is lightened, she must be a foolish woman who would hesitate to make the experiment, and he a churlish husband wlio would grudge the few cents which it costs-

A DAEIKG THIEF.
Monon Affent H. S. Watson Bobbed of $191 at the Station. At about 8 o'clock p. ID. Noy. 25 ns Mr. Watson, tho Monon agent, sat at tlie east window iu the ticket office preparing n. package to send the day's receipts away on the night train a hoard suddenly came flying through tho window scattering glass in his fans rml for a moment almost paralyzing hint. An arm w.as quickly thrust through the aperture and $191 of the money which he had just been counting vanished with its withdrawal. Several bills, a $20 gold piece and some silver wns left scattered around promiscuously. When Mr. Watson recovered himself ho at once called the police and several arrests were made but without obtaining the rignt parties. A freight train was just pulling out when the robbery took place and the conductor saw tho whole thing but we-s powerless to loud assistance. He describes the thief as a tall, slender fellow with a smooth face and wearing light pouts. The board used was torn from a pair ot old scales and the robbery accomplished, tho thief^jan south dodging among the freight cars. Mr. Watson's injuries are confined to a few cuts and bruises. The thief has not yet been taken but is supposed to have been some local toughs. —Operator Bowman had laid $132 out of the receipts to pay some section hands just before the Monon station was robbed that night. If it had not been for this the thief would have been that much more ahead.
Pleasantly Surprised.
On Nov. 25 Rev. G. W. Switzer and wife took tea at the home of W. H. Durham and upon their return at 7:30 o'clock found the parsoage and the church parlors in the hands of their friends. It was a delightful Thanksgiving surprise and a complete one. The best part of the suprise waa the donations. A beautiful 16th century oak side board was duly presented together with 60 cans of fruit, numerous artides of bric-a-brac and a large pnmpkin by Melville W. Bruner in a neat speeoh in behalf of Mr. Switzer's parishioners. Mr. Switzer responded in a most happy manner and the evening was then devoted by all present having a general good time. It was on oocasion long to be remembered by G. W. Switzer and wife as well as their many friends. .X,

His Jugs.
Wm. Hittle, proprietor of a medical spring at Avon, 111., came to the city a day or two ago to sell the water for medical purposes. He carries with him testimonials from the leading men of many oities in the country as to the merits of th water, and began a good sale when the city authorities bounced liim for a license fee. This somewhat startled him as it was the first time he had ever been called upon to pay a city license for selling water. Rather than pay it he corked up his jugs and made tho oity conspicuous by his absence.
No More Whistling.
The powers that be have decided that the small boy shall whistle no more in Musio Hall and each and every one caught doing so will be taken out and not allowed to come in again. This means business. Now if a decree should go forth against the loafers, Jarge and small, who make the entrance to Music Hall a disgrace there would be i/\ucli rejoicing among decent people.
In Time Por Christmas.

OLD FARM RELICS.
Aa Interostiig Uollectioti by H. E. Tins-ley.-An Old Flail. H. R. Tinsley, of the firm of Tinsley & Martin, hue for some time been making collection of old tinle farm implo monts, such as were in use forty and fifty years ago, His assortmont is large and varied ai|d is an intorefcting exhibit, especially the meu and woman of more advanced years who have used the different implements in their day uud generation. For some time he has been making nnMFort- to secure a flail, a primitive Snstiument for threshing grain. Afl|r diligent inquiry he pro cured one through 1. M. Coon, of Newtown. Concerning the "old 11 nil" Mr. Coen says: "The flail belonged to an old man by tho nanjo of Ananias Ogden, one of tho earliebt^ttlers in the vicinity of Newtown. He settled on Coal Creak, southwest of Newtovvn in tho year 1825. He was boafa in l-.ockbridgo countyJVa,, in 1799, and died a yo?r an^a half ago, uearly 90 yoars of' ago. He left the ihil iu his barn. None of ,hio family lives here. He loft a son and daughter, both in the West. Ho was quite an ingenius man^fluite bandy with tools, made almofai is^thing he wanted to use inun early day, that is of wood. He mado the flait no donj&^probably 40 or 50 years ago. TheflmSn who now owns the farm he lived oh, gave me the flxil. He showed me some other curiosities—a brush scythe made by a blacksmith, some old fashioned snaths made of orooked saplings such as wo used altogether when I was yonng."

THE FARMERS' COUNCIL.
The Meeting Last Tuesday—Beet Sugar, Farm Fontvs and Fruit Raising. Lust Tuesday was tho regular quarterly meeting of theMoutgomoiyCounty Farmers' Council and in the ai tor noon tho uttondance was largo. Mr. Anderson, of Ladoga, gave a t'jlk on the beet sugar question, lie had received from t!io department of Agriculture, at Washington iu the spring about one bushel of seed which ho had distributed to the farmers in his vicinity, and they had brought him nmny specimens of beets rained from tlujin. Eo was satisfied that beets ruined in this county would make sugar for ho had been successful in making about 13 por cent of sugar from tho beets which had bcon brought to him this year. But he thought the groat cost of a sugar factory would be tho obs-tuclo iu the way of a factory here. A factory could not be started for loss than $200,01)0, and Jve did not bolioy„e the people of the county could ever induced to risk that sum to an experiment, under present conditions. P. S. Kennedy said tho O/nard beet-s^ur faotory at Grand Island, Neb., had been pronounc. od a great success. Mr. Oxnard liau invosted a milliondollars in that factory, and was making 250 barrels of sugar per day, ready for market.But tho
Legislature had passed a law' giving a bounty of 2 cents per pound on all tho beet sugar made in the state. We could not expect men to start snoh factories here when the great and pushing West offered suoh induoemonts to start the business there.
Hon. Jasper N. Davidson read an interesting papor on the subj eot of farm fences, in whioh he arguod that most of the fences might, aud should be dispensed with, that a farm without ao much inside fencing looked maok better and
waB
not so much trouble to keep
clean of weeds. He touched upon the subjeot of allowing stook to run at largo and thought the tho time would
Boon
come when we would not have to proteot our farm from roamiug stook in the highways. He thought the ooming fence would be of plain wire, without barbs, and the posts far apart. It waB argued by him and many other members that with the posts far apart, the wire waa flre not so apfc^to-Jpreok, whenstook ran against it. As to the value of putting coal tar on the posts there was a division ot opink a. Esquire J. N. Fullenwider argued that coal tav put on a green post would make it rot all the quicker, and all agreed thut if ooal tar was used it should be on parts thouroughly seasoned. Thomas E. Bowles gave his experience witty, ooal tar, and thought it undoubtedly did much towards preserving the wood in the ground. He had taken up a post that had been immersed in boiling ooal tar when it was put in and in spliting it open, found the tar had penetrated it to a great distance, and the post was perfectly sound to tho very hollow. Jacob HarBhbarger gave muoh valuable information about building fenoes, and said he had found it bettor in building plank fenoes not to saw off the ends of the boards and jam together, but to lap them, putting one nail in the under board and two in the top one.
Capt.H.M.Billingaley read a paper on fruit raisiag, whioh was most attentively listened to and gave rise to quite a lenghthy discussion, the main result of which wivs that the only way to make

heavy coating of fresh stable manure under the trees during the winter. Mr. Dunbar, of Sugar Creole township, made the mouths of all tho audience water by his statements as to the grout variety and abundunce of apples in his cellar this gear, and he was fully persuaded he could have had no apples if ho had not manured his trees. He thought that salt springled under the trees also helpto yield. Muny members gave accounts of large yields of apples, after manuring, from trees that never yielded before. The meeting was interesting throughout and broke up with a determination to make the next meeting more interesting still.
