Visits Son at Camp Zachary Taylor

David Leatherman returned from Zachary Taylor this morning on the early morning train. He spent Thanksgiving Day with his son Corp. Carroll Leatherman who is now with Company B, 309 Engineers. Corp. Leatherman is enjoying the very best of health and likes his work very well. He is about fifteen pounds heavier than when he entered the service and his training has given him a soldiery bearing. While at Camp Taylor, Mr. Leatherman saw. quite a number of the selected men from here, and all were in the best of health and satisfied with their surroundings.

World Is Changing.

The world Is changing, and humanity has leas patience with difficult people. Cranky/'workers are not given preference .ven when they are distinguished by unusual skill. Women who aspire to popularity know that they must bury all annoyance at whatever does not please them in the treatment accorded them. They cannot afford to voice any sensitive feeling or take any step toward retaliation. The lesson may be hard, but it is decidedly wholesome, and the pity of it to that so few women care to take It—Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Keep Hands Off Wounds.

A wound should never be touched With the bare bands. It is better to cover it up Just as it is rather than to run the risk of Introducing another colony of perhaps even more dangerous germs. If possible, however, the wound should be washed out with an antiseptic solution. If water is to be used, it should have been boiled at least ten minutes, as simply bringing it to the boiling point will not kill the germs.

Goldsmith's World-Wideness.

One of the most memorable things to be remarked in Goldsmith is the note of world-wideness which he introduced into literature. There is a total absence in him of local prejudice, which is in strong contrast with the vigorous and almost' barbaric insularity of Johnson. He had once thought of emigrating to America, and would have done so but for one of those humorous Incidents so common in his haphazard life.

The Art of Living.

If music Is the art in which you are ambitious to distinguish yourself, you may have to go away from home to get the necessary training, and perhaps cross the water, to secure the finishing touches. But the art of living can be practiced right at home, and very likely you will have as good instruction as can be found anywhere, in the circle of your own family.—Exchange.

When Gloves Became Popular.

Although worn before, gloves did not find favor with women until the fourteenth centry, when they were always in evidence. If not on the hands, in them or carried stuck in the girdle, the stitching that made the fingers extending far down the back of the hand and finished off with fancy stitch and embroidery, the gauntlet often jeweled, the whole glove perfumed.

Modem Magic.

The fairy’s wand which turned a ragged gown into a dress fit for a princess, and a pumpkin Into a coach, Is not altogether a myth. The cheerful disposition which sees everything at its best, rather than’ its worst, makes as wonderful transformations. The magic of cheerfulness is still at work. —Exchange.

What One Needs.

"Tis a good old world to live In, so you need yourself a house; to love in, so you need a spouse; to go in, so you need a car or horse; to know in, so you need a college course; to read in, so you need some books; to shine in, so you need good clothes and looks. Exchange.

It Wasn’t His Fault.

. One youngster in school had delivered a severe kick in the stomach to another lad. When taken to task as to why he had struck his playmate there, he said: “I didn’t mean to hit him there, but he turned around Just in time."

Needed Experience.

A lady person has to live a good bunch of years before she Is more concerned abont how her shoes feel to her feet than about how they make her feet look to other women. —Houston Post

Avoid Sheep Sorrel.

Sheep sorrel Is not often eaten by live stock owing to Its sour taste, but it is well not to pasture horses or sheep on sorrel as the weed Is somewhat poisonous to these animals.

A Lost Art

Easy to Raise Sheep.

Sheep are docile, easily handled, will live on a greater diversity of food, will thrive on pastures earlier in the spring and later in the fall and require leas grain than other stock.

Use of Classics Declining.

The use of Greek. Latin and mat hematics in the higher education of America is declining. In a few years it will Im as rare fofa student to know Greek as today it is for hUn to know Hebrew; aqd it will not take more titan a generation or two for Latin to follow the same course. How long the higher reaches of mathematics—those noble and inviting reaches in which philosophy, poetry and imagination combine to play with the intrierftes of space and the notations of time —will continue to find extensive educational use is also a question—The Youth’s Companion.

Beginning Early.

Dorojh.v. who is seven, must have heard some elder lamenting the lost days of youth. After a hasty breakfast, curtailed by a disposition tojpleep late of mornings with barely time enough to reach school and studies before the tardy bell, she saw her younger sister and brother skipping off to a long May day’s enjoyment in the big yard and exclaimed: "Oh, for the days of five!”

An Art Aphorism.

Here is an art aphorism from Jean Francois Millet: “I have been reproached for not observing detail; I see it, but I prefer to construct the synthesis which as an.artistlc effort is higher and more robust. You reproach me with insensibility to charm; why, I open your eyes to that which you do not perceive, but which is none the less real —the dramatic."

Wedding Custom From France.

The custom of wearing orange blossoms at weddings is of comparatively recent date in this country. It came to us, like most other fashions In dress, from the French, who in their turn derived it from Spain. In the latter country it had long obtained, and Is said to have been of Moorish origin.

The Good Fight Not for Today.

A good fight is never for its day alone—it Is for many days; and it is not alone for him who bears its utmost stress. No man can live his own life bravely and quietly and not be an energy of social good, virtue proceeding from him to heat some brother’s wounded heart. —Exchange.

Think Before You Speak.

When we are tempted to do a mean act, to speak the unkind word, to be grasping and selfish, let us set our imaginations to work and picture next year, next decade. How will our act iook then? What shall we think then und wish we had done? —Exchange.

The Flour Beetle.

The so-called weevil Is the early form for a species of beetle that breeds In flour or meat often rendering it unfit for food. It is sometimes called the flour beetle. The only way to keep it out of flour is to keep the flour carefully closed and protected.

What One Most Needs.

If we find but one to whom we can speak out our heart freely, with whom we can walk in love and simplicity without dissimulation, we have no ground to quarrel with the world or God. —R. L. Stevenson.

Brush the Teeth With Apple.

An apple eaten in the evening will cleanse the teeth mechanically and chemically, says the Popular Science Monthly, and if followed by vigorous brushing will protect them from bacteria during the night.

TIME TO WIPE SLATE CLEAN

Malice and Uncharitableness Should Disappear at Parting With Those Going to the War. Partings of friends are always sad. There is ever an uncertainty about meeting again and how it may be with each other meanwhile. Parting with those who are now leaving for the service of country is especially sad, for they go to face danger, it may be to give up life, says the Milwaukee Journal. We hope that the many may return well and happy after performing the high duty they owe their country. But not all will come back. Some will have given life or limb. And honor and aid and tenderness are due from those who stay. Is there an estrangement among Mends or relatives? Be reconciled. We cannot know who is to be called to give up life. Do not have to remember that there wad hatred or malice or uncharitableness of parting. Be forgiving. It is a time to forget and forgive all past offenses. To feel that one leaves friends, leaves with the good will and good wishes of all, helps nerve the arm in time.of danger, is comfort in time of trial. To forgive is divine. When one faces so great and so serious a crisis, small offenses should disappear. Forget them. To give one’s life for another’s is the noblest thing a man can do. Let everyone who offers this, go with the assurance that his act is appreciated, and only good will, love and honor are his from those he leaves. Wipe the slate clean.

True Mahogany Scarce.

A bulletin published by the department of agriculture on the subject of mahogany records, among other Interesting facts, the bewildering ambiguity of the term “mahogany." True mahogany Is produced only by two closely related species of trees, Swletenia mahagonl Jacq, and Sweltenla macrophylla King, both natives of tropical America. The name “mahogany," with or without some qualifying word such as “Indian,” “Madeira,” “African,” “Philippine,” etc.. Is, however, applied to cabinet woods grown In a great many parts of the world. These so-cklled mahoganies belong to 67 distinct species, of 41 genera, and they are scattered through 18 families of the vegetable kingdom. Of some of the West African species the botanical status is unknown. To add to the confusion, true mahogany has many names and several more or less distinct varieties are recognized commercially.

It is more than six feet in length, and can cut a 12-inch hole through a pile of timber six feet high. . <

See Only Good In People.

It Is a mistake to grow tired of people or their efforts to please. The vast majority of us are trying to do our best. True, some of our number make a brilliant showing, while others do not cause a ripple of comment. But If we are going to get any real satisfaction out of life we cannot stop to weigh people’s capabilities or attainments, but should, on the other hand, be grateful for whatever consideration they show-us, and only see In them all that is splendid and good. —Exchange.

"Burning Bush" Remarkable Plant.

The “Burning Bush,” which is known to botanists as the Dlctamnus fraxinella, regarded as one of the most wonderful plants in the world. This plAnt Is native to western Asia, though it Is now found in some gardens of the temperate zone. In connection with the Dlctamnus it is rather remarkable that the species is common where the incident of Moses and the Burning Bush is said to have occurred.

God is love. Therefore love. Without distinction, without calculation, without procrastination, love. Lavish it upon the poor, where it is very easy; especially upon the rich, who 'bften need it most; most of all upon our equals, where It is very difficult, and for whom perhaps we do least of all.—H.

Won’t Escape Prosecution Despite Commission Finding

Monticello Journal: — Wednesday afternoon while a sanitary inquest was being held on Frank Warner, the Wolcott man who burned property and fired upon several peoplb with a shot gun, the state was busy with proceedings to keep the man from being taken out of the custody of the court until his case is heard and determined. Prosecutor Ireland and his co-counsel, Wm. Parkinson, of Rensselaer, and Palmer & Carr, of this city, appeared before Judge Berry, of Fowler, sitting for Judge Wason, with a petition to prevent the finding of the sanitary commission from interfering with the regular process of the court. The petition was quickly passed upon by Judge Berry who made an order instructing the sheriff to keep Warner in his custody until tried and acqujited, unless the prisoner is sooner released by giving the bonds fixed by the court. As soon as the ruling was made Prosecutor Ireland filed three more affidavits against Warner, two of them charging assault and battery with intent to kill and the other asron. Warrants were ordered to be issued by Judge Berry and the amounts of the bonds were fixed at SI,OOO in the assault cases and $2,500 in the arson case. Forty or fifty of the business men and citizens of Wolcott were here and they showed by their presence and the expressions that were heard that they did not take very kindly to the movement that had been made toward determining Warner’s sanity at this particular time. They were at the inquest in Justice Smith Smith’s office and went in a body to the court room when the petition to have Warner remain here until tried on the charges lodged against him was presented to Judge Berry. According to the order of the court the finding of the santiy commission will have no effect whatever, except as it may make a part of the record when the cases are called for trial. So far as the prisoner is concerned, he will remain in the custody of Sheriff Williams unless he is able to give the total of $5,000 bond imposed by the court.

Former U. S. Ambassador

Henry van Dyke, former United States ambassador to Holland, will be the principal speaker at the opening session on, Thursday, December 13, of the war council, which will be held at Tomlinson hall, under the auspices of the Indiana state council of defense. Those in charge of arrangements for the program for the two days’ conference feel that they have been especially favored in the assignment of Mr. van Dyke as a speaker at the Indiana conference, for he recently returned from an extensive tour of the west front battle line, and is in position, therefore, to give an authoritative and graphic portrayal of war conditions as they exist today. Mr. van Dyke has visited Indianapolis many times,, and has addressed numerous gatherings ,but the extreme importance of the war council that will be held here makes his coming this time of more than ordinary. Charles D. Williams, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Detroit, also will be a speaker at the conference, and arrangements' are under way for adding a member of President Wilson’s cabinet to the list of speakers.

Samuel Karnowsky, the hustling junk buyer, has bought of the Nowels estate, the brick business rooms and lots just north of the Babcock and Hopkins elevator. Karnowsky is a hustler and has succeeded splendidly since coming to Rensselaer. He has not only made good for himself but by his thoroughly honest treatment and the paying of the very best price possible, has been a great help to the community. He advises the farmers to bring in their junk now and assures them of the very best price the market will permit.
