The Egg.

Whatever it costs, let us be very grateful for the egg. All honor to the hen that lays it. It is the most wonderful of all foods. It. is the safest, simplest, purest, most widely available and most healthful article that man can put into hi" stomach. In whatever corner of the world one finds one's-self, however soiled the surroundings, however uninviting the inn, one can always count on the egg. It is sure to come at the call with its clean, wholesome, strengthening contents neatly protected from the dirt and germs, says the New York Evening World.

Unlike other foods, the fresh egg. is not a carrier of disease. One, never hears it blamed for infection. Milk may contain a hundred dangers, bread may be unwholesome, but the fresh egg is a model of sanitary sweetness and antisepticized purity. Nor can its contents be tampered with without destroying its integrity and making plain to all the world its fall.

Alone—boiled, dropped, poached, shirred—it offers itself always with confident assurance. It seeks no aid. Yet it is an admirable 'mixer." It will lend itself with gentle willingness to almost any society. It improves and elevates whatever company it enters. It strengthens the bowl of the invalid. It tempers the cup of the reveler. It has one of the most beautiful shapes in nature. Its oval has been the despair of artists. Its surface is a joy to the touch. No record or ancestry is more ancient and honorable. Yet it offers itself freely and impartially to rich and poor. Its price is not its fault. All glory to the egg. Whenever we meet her. let us take off our hats to the hen.

tended the horse show at Pendleton last week. Isaac Blankenship and Miss Nella Johnson were united in marriage by Rev.

A Home Snuggery

There should always be one spot in the home sacred to the best interests of the family. A room full of comfort, where the sofa is made to lounge on and the chairs to tilt back, and the carpet to dig the toes into where bills and bickerings are alike forbidden, and the straightlaced propriety of the dining room or parlor can be abandoned for romps and story telling where the dust doesn't show and nothing is too fine to use, and at whose door all the burdens drop off, as they will some time at the gate of heaven—a room whose speech is silver and whose silence is golden—where the. tranquility of a summer Sabbath is broken only by" sweet murmurs of love and confidence, where a happy cat curls herself to repose in blissful affinity with the peaceful house dog, a place where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. A sort of moral lean-to which adjoins the house. Here Jacob's ladder is planted, and angels ascending and descending bring with them endless measures of peace. Every homo should have this one place of retreat.

It is no impossible place. Love is the architect content is the atmosphere. We find it in our neighbors' homes, often where least expected, and are surprised because it is never a show place. It is simply a golden room in a wooden house.

The Greenfield Lumber and Ice Company is sawing up some of the finest oak timber that has been in this market for a long time. The logs range as high as four feet in diameter, and Mr. Black purchased it of Will Lantz, of Sugar Creek township. The logs are being cut into slabs from two to six inches in thickness, and in this shape the lumber is sent to veneer factories that cut it into thin veneer, twenty thicknesses to the inch. This company has been fortunate in securing some exceptionally good timber for the past several months, wk

BRIGHT OCTOBER DAYS ARE COMING

Green and Gold of Harvest Season's Beginning in Evidence— Why the Month is So Called

The month of October is so called from being the eighth month in the year, according to the old Alban or Latin calendar, and was styled by the Saxons, Wynmoneth, or wine month. In allusion to this epithet an old writer remarks: "And albeit they had not anciently made Wines in Germany, yet in this season they had them from diverse countries adjoining." October was also called by the ancient Germans, "winter-fyllith," from the approach of winter with the full moon of the month.

In some of the ancient Saxon calendars this month is allegorized by the figure of a husbandmen carrying a sack on his shoulder and sowing winter grain. In other almanacs the sport of hawking has been adopted as emblematical of the sign of Scorpio, an astronomincal emblem said to typify in the form of a destructive insect the increasing power of cold over nature in the same manner as the equal influence of cold and heat are represented by Libra, or the balance, in the month of September.

Though a melancholy feeling is associated with October from the general decay of nature by which it is characterized, there usually occurs in it some of the finest and most exhiliarating weather of the year. Frost is common in the mornings and evenings, while the middle of the day is often enlivened by all the sunshine of July without its oppressiveness, and the clearness of a frosty day in December without its piercing cold.

Never do the woods look so beautiful, even when in their full summer coats of green, as in the latter days of September, and the first two or three weeks of October. At this season it would seem that nature had set at work all her master painters to give to her trees and bushes all her choicest colors. The sumach is in many varying tints on the maple trees, from pale gold to flaming crimson. Here, too, are the rich, burnished bronzes of the oaks, reds of many hues up to the ripest scarlet, marvelous shades of yellow, from the faint glow of the primrose to the deep orange of the tiger lily. And what royally radiant purples! The glowing trees, bathed in the last vintage of summer. are soon to cagt their rich adornments and, gaunt and grim, to meet- the bitter blasts of winter.

OLD SCRIBE SKETCHES

In a conversation recently with John T. Butler, a popular druggist of Knightstown, he informed me that he had buried his father, Clias. Butler, the week before. He was 78 years old at his death and was elected prosecutor in his district, two terms, when Hancock and Henry counties comprised one judicial circuit.

Clarence HufTord, who has an ice cream parlor, confectionery, etc. at Shirley reports a most excellent trade all season and thinks there is great promise for Shirley in the future. He says there are just as enterprising and progressive people in Shirley as there are on the globe. This young merchant is a son of "Old- Scribe."

That's the ticket! If a man is not in touch with the people, the .situation, the conditions in his community, then his room is better than his company. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead who has not to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land?" Then he is "a man without a country."

Talk up your town, talk up your community, talk everything that is desirable in a fellowman. Don't knock him. Don't knock your best friend simply because you cannot use him to your advantage just at this time. Conditions may change, and if your friendship was based on a commercial basis, maybe the thing will resolve itself into a "Bnquos ghost" that will not down, when it will be least convenient for you. So it is always the safest and sanest for a man to attend to his own business, and boost any community, thing or individual that has merit. Old Scribe.

Death of a Child.
