P. car: “This big car can be run 5,000 miles per year at a total average cost of 53.98 a week.” And what we then said is true in a greater degree about our 22 H. P. 3-speed car.

OBITUARY OF TITUS E PRICE. The following obituary of the late Titps E, Price was handed The Democrat for publication : Titus Ellsworth, son of Wiliam S. and Susan M. Price, was born at Solon, Ohio, September 18, 1861, and died at Rensselaer, Ind., on November 27, 1910, -from nervous prostration brought on by overwork. At a very early age Mr.* Price, with his parents, came from Ohio to Jasper ' county, Indiana, where his boyhood days were passed. He received his education at Purdue University. In 1882 he removed to South Dakota, locating at Highmore, w'here he engaged in the practice of law, in partnership with his-brother, Charles H. On February 5, 1888, he was married to Estella Mabel Anderson, of St. Lawrence, South Dakota. The following, taken from the South Dakota hahdbook, will be of interest to his friends: Mr. Price was elected city treasurer of Highmore for three years, and county superintendent from 1887 to 1891. In 1891 he was elected state’s attorney, and in 1893 was elected a member of the state legislature. During this session of the legislature, Mr. Price was one of the leaders, and from that time has .been one of the best known legislators and lawyers in the state. In 1894 Mr. Price removed to Yankton, South Dakota, where he engaged in the practice of his profession. Soon after removing to Yankton he-became prominent in the politics of that section and in 1901 was again elected to the state legislature. In this session he served with conspicuous ability and was again elected in 1903. In 1905 he refused to become a candidate for re-election, but in the spring of 1906 he was elected mayor of the city of Yankton. In 1907 his friends insisted upon his becoming a candidate again for the legislature and according to their demands his nomination followed, and he was elected in the fall of that year, receiving the largest vote of any candidate on the ticket. Mr. Price was a regular attendant and vestryman for several years of the Episcopalian church of Yankton. He was a charter member of the Elks lodge, serving as exalted ruler. He was a man of sterling habits; with a lovable disposition, and with the faculty of marking and keeping friends. ”? He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, one sister, Nettie, of Rensselaer, and three brothers, Myrt 8., of Rensselaer, Francis C., of Ashland, Kans., and Cory 0., of Hinsdale, 111., besides many other relatives and friends. A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD FOR MOTHERS. Mrs. D. Gilkeson, 326 Ingles Ave. Youngstown, Ohio, gained wisdom by experience. “My little girl had a severe cold and coughed almost continuously. iMy sister recommended Faley’s Honey and Tar. The first dose I gave heir relieved the inflammation in her throat and after using one bottle her throat and lungs were entirely free from inflammation. Since then I always keep a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar in the house.” ' Accept no substitutes. —A. F. Long. ' ' ’ |

FOR THE CHILDREN

Very Clean. “Oh, mamma, look at these ants!” exclaimed Julia, standing before a bole in the pavement about which hundreds of ants were crawling. “They are digging up the earth. I'm afraid some one will tread on them. I like them even If they are dirty little nuisances.” "Dirty!” said her mother. "No creature living is more tidy than these little ants. They cannot tolerate dirt and are cleaning themselves all the time.” “Cleaning themselves! With wtit? How? “These little Insects carry about with them a number of useful toilet articles." “Oh, mother, you are joking,” laughed Julia. “No; I’m in earnest. They have coarse and fine toothed combs, sponges, hairbrushes, soap and wash rags.” ■ Julia was about to laugh again when her mother explained: “Their saliva is their liquid soap, and their soft tongues are their sponges. Their combs are fastened to their legs and are very much like the combs we use.” “Do they perform their toilet every morning just as I do?” asked the child. "No; they have no set time, but stop their work and clean themselves whenever they get soiled.” Chalcedony Park. The remarkable “forest" of petrified trees, called Chalcedony park, can be reached in a few hours from the Holbrook or Corlzzo station. Arizona, on the Santa Fe railway. The area of the park is estimated at hundreds of square miles, and it contains thousands of tons of agatlzed wood. A recent visitor likens it to a “cast logging camp." where the lumbermen have tossed the huge logs at random from their sleds, leaving them to become rain soaked and moss grown. Some of the trunks are 150 feet long, and they break up in sections as if sawed through at intervals. The bark is of a dark red color, as a rule, but the chips and interior exhibit kaleidoscopic colors. Amethysts, red and yellow jasper, chalcedony of every tint, topaz, onyx, carnelian and other stones abound. The logs, in fact, Qre a blend of these stones. One of them, 100 feet long and 3 to 5 feet in diameter, spans a narrow canyon and is called the Agate bridge. , It is chiefly composed of jaspers and agates. As to the origin of the petrifactions, it is supposed that in past times the trees were overwhelmed with volcanic ashes and hot siliceous waters from geysers. Tlie ( J timber is analogous to pine or cedar, and as it decayed the silica, dyed with various salts of iron and .-manganese in solution, took its place. Conundrums. When is a dog most like a human being? When be is between a man and a boy. LJ, How does a dog look if you hurt him? % It makes him yell Oh (yellow). Why did the last dove return to the ark? Because she hadn't sufficient ground for remaining. Why is there reason to doubt the existence of the Giant’s causeway? There are so many shamrocks (sham rocks) in Ireland that this may be one of them. Why are good husbands like dough? Because women need them. Why is a specimen of good writing like a pig led to the slaughter bouse? Because it is done with the pen. When does a man feel girlish? When he makes his maiden speech. What does a man do when he misses his train and comes home late for supper? Catches it when he gets home. Why is a plowed field like feathered game? Because it’s part-ridges. •F ————— Wild Tabbies. Domestic cats soon revert to a semiwild state when once they take to the woods and are terribly destructive in the coverts. They destroy pheasants, partridges, leverets and rabbits. The life of these wild tabbies is wild indeed. Every dormant Instinct is aroused, each movement becomes characteristically feline, and when these creatures revert to life in the woods it is impossible to reclaim them. Climatic influences work remarkable changes upon the fur. causing it to grow longer and thicker, and the cats take up their abode In stony crevasses or hollow trees. In summer, when kittens are produced, the destruction of game is almost incredible.

~ The Music Baton. Musical batons were first used In England about 1820,' but it was not until about twelve years later that the batons came into general use. Then a German conductor by using one obtained such wonderful results from his orchestra that others thought there must be magic In this little wand, and they were quick to use one. Up to this time, as. Indeed, may be seen in many up to date orchestras, the time is kept by the first violinist or the man at the piano. T~ Questions and Answers. Is the king of England rich or poor? Poor, since be possesses only on* crown. When does an orator become a bad man?

Feet Of ah the vehicles we meet In air and sea and oa the street I humbly sing the praise of feet. It Is hot widely understood How safe are feet, bow soundly good. How firm with supple hardihood. Consider, sees run not Sway. Where feet are put there feet will stay. Or. turned, feet promptly win obey. Further consider, feet will not. However worn or pinched or hot. Explode and wreck your chariot. A \And think, however feet may ache. How many million trips they make Without a blowout or a break! ~ And. though the feet are punctured, too. They mend themselves without ado And plod along as good as new. Feet need no license: feet may go In narrowest pathways to and fro; The fairest hidden nooks they know. Feet linger through a pleasant scene; Feet run not out of gasoline; A handy brook, and feet are clean. Feet In all weathers boldly run; Heedless of mud their miles are spun. Nor by the snow are feet undone. Feet run not over dog or boy; Do not with raucous horn annoy Nor throw their dust On others’ joy. . In fine, on feet I’ll travel far. The noblest vehicles there are. Till 1 can buy a touring car. ? -Amos K. Wells tn Ufa.

TAKE CARE.

When the kidneys are affected, life is in danger. Read what Foley Kidney Pills have done for your neighbor, Wm. F. Griner. Logansport, Ind., says, “My thirteen year old daughter was troubled with a bad case of weak kidneys. She had no control over their action which was very annoying as well as weakening and her condition became serious. I started giving her Foley Kidney Pills and tuey gave relief it once and I could see they were rapidly strengthening the weakened organs. It the course of a few weeks she was entirely ever this trouble and has not been bothered since but is as well and strong as the average child. I can recommend Foley Kidney Pills as being a prompt and sure cure for all such trouble.^’—A. F. Long. i
