One-tenth of one per cent of gelatine will be permitted and the product will be labeled pure ice cream. Col. Frank Pierce Morgan, the well known sociologist and raconteur of Washington, at one time was of the opinion that if the children of “poor white trash,” in the south could be put to work, much good would result to all concerned. An experience he had recently while on an inquisitorial tour rather puzzles him. In Statesboro, N. C., he tels into conversation with a well fed |«6Wng citizen, who sat on a dry gods box whittling a stick. “What do ysd,<Jo for a living?” asked Col.

Attorney General James E. Bingham has prepared a letter that he will

send to county and township officers, advising them that his office will not continue the practice of giving unofficial opinions to such officers or others on any question other than those directly affecting the state in any large way. Among the reports which the county officers are required to make to the state officials at this season of the year, is one which goes to Amos W. Butler, secretary oL the slate; board of charities, and which is expected to show the amount paid by each township trustee for direct assistance given •to the poor of their township, for medical relief and for the burial of ex-soldiers. The Montpelier Fair and Driving Park Association filed a petition with the board of county commissioners, which began its. January session Monday, asking for an appropriation and donation in aid of a county fair project for 1907. The amount asked is not to exceed one cent on every ?100 valuation of taxable property in the county. The money is to be expended only for premiums on agricultural. It is reported that the goosebone prophet says there will be some cold weather in January and more of the same kind in February. Well, now, that’s not strange, is it? It’s the time to look for cold weather anyhow. If there’s a genuine goosebone prophetin Adams county—one that knows how to read the old sign through the remainder of the winter —The Democrat would like to hear from him as soon as possible. There are many wha aje anxious to know what the goo<ej?one sign indicates. The sign hit the mark last winter and those who believe in the goosebone forecast are waiting once more to have 11, interpreted

through the columns of this paper. Heavily armed, all the farmers' of Still River, near New Miller, Conn., participated in what they supposed was a burglar hunt. Soma one had seen Jghts in the school house and surmised that burglars were preparing to assail the postoffice. Men and women, too. were quickly routed out of bed t’.tid each carrying a shooting iron of £j;.te description marched silently upon he school house. “Bill " Reuter, "Sam Jones and William Stevens mad. . bold dash for the door, which, unde.- the impact, gave way, carrying locks and casings with it. As the three braves landed inside, the order was given ‘‘Hands up!” and instantly up went the hands of every brave on , the outside with a lantern in one hand i and a gun in the other, supposing that < the order was meant for them. The i burglars or tramps escaped in the con- , fusion, none of the “vigilants” firing < a shot.

Keller this morning received notice from his attorneys at Washington, D. C., that his recent application for a patent on a chicken brooder had been accepted and the papers declaring that the patent had been issued was received at the same time by Mr.’Keller under separate cov- ' er. This makes the fifth patent Dr. Keller has received during the past two years and the granting alone ’ shows that he has something that is beneficial to the community at large. ' The brooder is built on principals ' that are as near nature as it is possible to artificially mother and brood ■ chicks. It will take care of the chicks I in a perfect and reliable manner, fur-

nish them with plenty of pure, fresh warmed air. The brooder is heated with a burner which in the natural hatching s n >•_ »-> all her.t • ue could use in a brooder, and performs the duties as well as the hen could do herself.

One of the prinicpal questions to be taken up by the Central Passenger association -which meets in Chicago this week, is the exchange of traffic with electric lilies; This will be the first move that has been made by any passenger organization represening the railroads, which has recognized in the electric roads a coming factor in passenger traffic of a considerable distance. A committee was appointed several months ago to meet the electric road officials. They have met them and completed arrangements but are said to be opposed to the agreement. Another question to be taken up by the association is whether an advance agent for a theatrical company shall be included in the number of passengers necessary to secure the theatrical party rate and also rhe free baggage car.

Miss May Radamacher arrived 'oday from Fort Wayne and is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curley Radamacher. A Connecticut clergyman while visiting friends once tucked his napkin into his collar to protect his clothing from the juice of the grape fruit at breakfast. He laughed as he did it and said it reminded him of a man he once knew who rushed into a restaurant and, seating himself at a table, proceeded to tuck his napkin under his chin. He then called a waiter and said: “Can I get luncheon here?" “Yes,” responded the waiter, tn a dignified manner, "but not a shampoo.
