A GREEN SPOT The Adams county domoeracv, although monientarilly depressed, have just cause for congratulation. While the party here suffered from the wrath of a political avalanche, yet the official count shows that the loss here was less violent than it was elsewhere. To some, this may seem like nursing a sore corn, but it is not. You can judge better of men and political parties in times of defeat and adversity than you can in the flush ot victor? and pros perity. There you come in contact with their best thoughts and their best influence; there you measure them tor what they really are. So this year the Adams county democracy showed themselves to be true democrats. While surrounding counties went h—l bent for Governor Kent, Adams county came nearer remembering the early teachings of democracy than did our neighbors. The standard bearer of democracy this year received 371 less votes than William J. Bryan received in the palmy days of 1596 and 449 less than in 1900, while the candidates on the county ticket were only short from 150 to 250 in comparison with those years. So with a tidal wave that reached from ocean to ocean and from the gulf to the north pole, the Adams county democracy acquitted themselves well. Had the tide been otherwise our majoirty would have eclipsed all f irmer efforts and been wholesome and sweet smelling Since th 1 smoKe has cleared away and the political undertaker has laid to rest the am itions of many a fond hop>. the Adams county demociats may still survey themse've- with pride. The county stands second in the state in the product nos democratic majorities, and f all the green spits is the greenest of them all. Special homese, kcrs’ excursions to the Southwest.

A GROWING TREE. •“ttu Thlnirs That Nature Invariably l)oe« to Protect It. Nature invariably does two thing* when she tries to grow n tree—she protects the bark from hottest sunshine and the roots from severe changes of temperature. Both these points are almost invariably overlooked by man. Observe a maple or elm or birch as it shootk from the ground. Its sides are clothed all the way with amall twigs unless removed by knife or browsing. Any tree starting in an open lot is thus protected from the sum Otherwise the extreme heat will rupture cells, and the bark will dry and split. A» far as possible there must be equal development of cells on all sides of ths tree. But care of the coots is even mo.e important. The feeding of a tree is at unequa. depths, but most of it is near the stir face. If the sun be allowed to strike directly on the soil the finer rootlets that do the foraging are destroyed, and extreme droughts will affect the roots for a foot in depth. What is worse, the extreme changes of temperature also affect the tree and suck its life away. In some cases such conditions are produced as encourage the development of fungi or other enemies to plant life. Nature guards against this by laying down each autumn a layer of leaves to mulch her forests or solitary pets. RENEWING THE BODY. The Way Man Is Constantly Bring Made Over and Over. It takes but four weeks to completely renew the human epidermis. You have new eyelashes every live months, you shed your finger nails in about the same period, and the nails of your toes •re entirely renewed annually. The white of the eye. known as the cornea, is in a continual state ot renewal, being kept clear and clean by the sofj friction of the eyelids. These are a few manifestations of the restorative powers retained by man. who is less form nate than the lower animals. Crabs can grow fresh limbs; the snail can renew even a large portion of its head; with eyes and feelers lizards do not worry about the loss of a tail, and If you make a cut in the caudal appendage 1 a’ some of these last mentioned creature* they will grow another tall straightway and rejoice in the possession of two. But man still possesses the wonderful restorative little cells which scientific men call leucocytes They are always coursing through the body to renew •nd to defend the body from its enemies the harmful bacteria of various maladies. These cells generate antitoxins to kill our enemies. They do battle for us in hundreds of ways, and get the majority of us know nothing of ri.es,’ great services rendered by our tiny friends inside. Plano Teat For Ensine., Point.: g to a piano that was standinc in the 1 live roundhouse of the M.-'euri P.;<... ■ railroad near Kansas City, an Eugl.sh visitor remarked. "Ah, I see your road supplies you with musical entertainment” , "Guess not." replied the foreman. “That piano is for testing the engines." The Eng! shman thought it a joke, says a writer in the World's Work, but when a uniformed pianist struck a note which Uarmoujed with the noise of vlbratioa in each part of the locomotive •s it was tested be understood that there could be no fiaws or cracks in the engine. He was informed that if the ne.se of the locomotive ma ea discord with the musical note the locomotive would be thus proved defective. The method has been discovered to be mere accurate than the old way of each part. *4 round trip to St L uis Mo . viaJUlover Leaf every day during November. 1904. beignning Nov. 14th Good seven days in r.ding date of sale.
