I The wind storm which struck here ■Saturday evening was the most severe Ben for some time.

Gentry, the famous (pacing horse, broke the world’s mile (record on a half mile track in the won (derful time of 2:045. Those who (predicted that Gentry had seen better ■days have another guess. The second heat in the rac was marie in 2:06. The otht*i eveuts at Lima were above the average and the large crowd which attended was satisfied. Hazel J. Andrews, an Adams county eeu .

Boys In Nebraska, a terretleSs counAp • carry with them when bunting a Toil of hose about an Inch in diameter, which they pay out down a rabbit hole until the bottom is reached, meanwhile drawing the mouth of a sack over the hole. A cheerful shout down the hose brings the rabbit out at his best pace, plump into the sack. The hose evidently does the business ns quickly as the ferret, with no vexatious delays.— Sin Francisco Argonaut.

A Lake That feats Boats. A strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island oft New Zealand It 1s 50 acres In extent, about 12 feet In depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable characteristic cf this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydrochloric and sulphuric acids hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 110 degrees F. The dark green colored water looks particularly uninviting. Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off this boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised in approaching this lake to avoid the risk of suffocation. On the opposite side of the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholes, which, when in full blast, present an awe inspiring sight. The roar of the steam as it rushes forth into the air is deafening, and often huge bowlders and stones are hurled out to a height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of nature. A boat can be launched on the lake, and if proper care be observed the very edges of the blowholes may be safely explored. Some idea of the strength of the acid saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that a boat almost dropped to pieces after all the passengers had been landed, as the rivets had corroded under the influence of the acids. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. It Is probably the honeymoon that affects the tied. A wise man never goes to a bank teller for information. In real life the unkempt hair of the poet is simply mussed. In his attempt to raise a beard the youth is apt to get down. The smaller the tlsh the more it strains the veracity of the fisherman. Every barroom patron who gets a head helps the proprietor to get ahead. As the twig is bent so is the small boy inclined to shoot—out the back way. The great objection to a theory is that it is very apt to strike a practical snag. He who has nothing to do in this world but amuse himself has a difficult job on hand. Work and don’t worry if you would be happy. Worry and don’t work if you would be otherwise. The woman who marries a man because she is sorry for him is apt to be sorry for herself later on. There Is always room at the top—ami if it's a woman's letter, there Is always room at the bottom —for a postscript. Only a strong-minded man can read the persuasive advertisement of a patent medicine without being convinced that he needs a bottle of it. —Chicago Daily News. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. A miss-take often leads to the divorce court. The meaner a man tries to be the less he enjoys it. Chess-players are not the only one* who move once a year. The girl who doesn’t care for diamonds must be stone blind. People who live In glass houses should have eye-proof curtains. Summer girls and baseball players are only engaged for the season. Persons who deal in bicycles are not the only ones who have wheels. The baseball player would l>e perfect If he could only correct his errors. It is probably the charity that begins at home that covers a multitude of sins. When marriage brings a woman to the washtub she has a right to call it a labor union. Shoddy society lb made of the social dregs thrown up by the waves of commercial convulsions. What a summer hotel proprietor wants Is a lire escape that can t l>e transformed into a board-bill escape. It Is Just as easy to look pleasa“t as It Is to wear a long face and look as though you had dined on crabapples. A learned insectologist has discovered that the best time to examine the wonderful construction of a hornet s nest Is after the hornets have moved ou t.—Chicago Dally Newb.

Telegraph wires are better conductors on Monday than on Saturday, on account of their Sunday rest, mid a rest of three weeks adds 10 per cent, to the conductivity of a wire. A Minneapolis woman was elected third vice president of the American Pharmaceutical association nt its annual meeting in Baltimore. She owns a pharmacy in Minneapolis. Laving in ■»<*>»«■»• The loquacious barber was dilating upon the best methods of promoting a healthy growth of the hair A nattily dressed young man who was waiting the "Next” call joined in the discussion. He recommended a never-fail-ing remedy for premature baldness. “Why, I’ll make the hair grow on the palm of your hand,” he declared. "1 tielieve in frequent close clipping of the hair while a jierson is young,” said the barber. "Now.” he added, winking slyly in the direction of the nattily dressed young man, “they have the best remedy I know of for premature baldness and rapid falling out of the hair right out here at lonia.” "Yes. the shears,” quickly responded the young man. “They have a fine thing for the blood, too." “Yes? What is that?” "Bullets. I know, for I tried to escape once. Ixxtk at that sear.” exhit> sting a mark on his left forearm. He was an ex-convict out of a job, but he was better dressed than the average young man with a good salary. and. like the pickpocket, he seemed to be hopeful that things would be soon "picking up” in his line. Her Pet Superstition. It is inconvenient at times, to say the least, to be the superstitious woman. No matter how hurried she may be, she feels obliged to take time to dispel the hoodoo. And. as if there were not enough signs and superstitions already well known to keep the ordinary person busy, those who traveled down town on the west side elevated train tlie other morning learned of another. Somewhere up town a woman came Into the car and walked its full length before she found a vacant seat. At Twenty-third street she absentmindedly fell in line with the other shoppers and started toward the door. She was almost out when the thought of what she was doing flashed into her mind. The idle passengers, ready to be interested in anything, were surprised to see her right about face and start toward the other end of the car. She reached the door just as the guard closed the gate. A little verbal persiflage ensued. “Let me out! Let me out!” she commanded. But the guard stood firm. "Why didn’t you get out the other door?” he said. "I will go out the same way I came In,” she said, with great dignity. Ano down she rode to the next station, all on account of her pet superstition.—New York Sun. ITEMS OF IMTEREST. There were no strikes in North Carolina last year. The Manchester (England) gravedig gers are asking for more wages. Dogwood is now used as a substitute for ebony in the making of the dark piano keys. Street railways at Havana are to change the motive power from horses to electricity. In the past six months the Joplin (Mo.) district has sent over .^10,000,000 worth of zinc to the market. According to the School Review, only 41.51 per cent, of the pupils in American high schools are boys. Shears in a steel mill in Coatesville, Pa., cut a slab of iron four feet wide and two feet thick at one stroke. Ex|>eriments show that a frog deprived of his brains will live, and eat, and pursue existence in a sort of automatic manner. Nearly one-half of the ships sold by England in LSO'.I were built, before 1885. and more than three-fifths were built before 1890. There is plenty of money throughout northern Brazil. Para is a city of great thrift and enterprise, and is enjoying prosperity. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Never say die. Expire sounds much better. The one new thing under the sun each day is the date. Never mike pleasure an excuse for neglecting your business. Marriage is the box on which many a safety match is ignited. One frequently sees money-bags, but It never bags at the knee. Train up the child of today in the way it shold go—and away it goes. If a man has good judgment he occasionally uses the judgment of others. Windows have more or less panel and one frequently sees a windowblind. There is nothing like a fixed purpose. It dignifies one'.-, nature and insun-i success. An old bachelor says that old maids are embers from which the smirks have fled. Some people shine In society because of their polished manners and some because of their polished boots. Dignity is a poor thing to stand on when you find yourself in the rear of a crowd and want to see the procession. No mnn should 'think of marrying until he can listen to a crying baby In the next room without saying things that wouldn't look well In print.—Chicago Daily News.

Hannna, treasurer of the town of Geneva, is short in his accounts, according to reports, in the sum of SI3OO. Recently a new treasurer, A. M. Redding, was elected and when the transfer of the office was made, thedefficiency was discovered. Mr. Hamma, whose honesty and integrity has never been questioned, has been sick for a year past and unable to care for the books, and it is probable this Will account for the shortage. From May, 1599 to May, 1900, no entry of any kind has been made upon the books and in an examination of same by W. W. Briggs and Fred McWhinney the facts were soon discovered. Mr. Hamma’s bondsmen are M. F. Aspy, George Hartman Chris Haviland, Fred Pyle and Morris Wells. In speaking of the short age the Portland Commercial said: “George Hartman, one of the landsmen of the former treasurer, says that a deficit of $1,300 is evident and it cannot be told from the books when any money was paid in or out. Mr. Hamma himself, who is now at Eaton, Ohio, is unable to tell where the money went. He has always been known as a man of sterling honesty and in order to make everything as near right as possible, has turned over his property until the matter is arranged.’’ POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The bow-leggetl man has an open gait of his own. A tow-headed youth portrays the meeting of extremes. The slave has but one master, the officeholder has many. There is nothing more undesirable than a cook who can’t cook. The love of a good woman is the best protection a man can have. A man’s ideal home has a mantel in every room on which to rest his feet. Time isn’t much money when one can purchase an eight-day clock for 98 cents. Money often talks through the mouths of those who occupy boxes at the opera. All’s fair in love and war.
