JULY 3. 1902.
A SPLENDID INSTITUTION.
It does seem that every annual
session of the chautauqua has de
monstrated conclusively that the
organization of the institution
was a wise movement. If there
has been even one pertain who has
made complaint at not receiving
full value for what the chautau
qua has cost we have not heard of
it.
'The sermons, lectures, enter
tainments and musid which the
patrons of the chautauqua have
been permitted to enjoy during
the past five years have certainly
been of such a character as to
exert a very wholesome influence.
We are thoroughly satisfied that
much good has really been accom
plished, besides the pleasure
which the people have derived,
and the material good which has
come to the little city.
The chautauqua should be a
permanent institution, and it can
easily made so by the people of
the community. Of course, these
annual sessions cost labor and
money, but they are worth far
more than cost according to the
opinion of many citizens.
The chautauqua is a great in
stitution and it should be perma
nent !
A LIVE PEOPLE.
The people of Barnesville lmve
time and again demonstrated that
they are indefatigable in their en
terprise and noble in their public
spirit. Misfortunes may overtake
them as they sometimes do the
citizens of any community,.but
despite misfortunes they .keep
their faces to the future and un
dertake nobly to perform the high
est obligations resting upon them.
The manner in which they have
supported and encouraged the
chautauqua this year is convincing
evidence of all that has been said
above. Surely, “they weary not
in well doing.”
A lieautlful Mule City.
Col. George W. Bain says that
Bartlesville is one of the most
beautiful little cities he has ever
seen, and he has seen nearly every
part of the United States. Like
all the other attractions Col. Bain
expressed himself as greatly
pleased with Bartlesville's chau
tauqua and the little city.

Last Thursday evening about
ten o'clock, several young people
were returning from a party out
at Mr. E. S. Murphey's and had
just t aken all the lit tle girls home
when the horse became frightened
in front of the Methodist church
on Thomaston street and ran until
the wagon struck the public
hydrant in the center of town.
Two of the boys, Graves Gardner
and John Blackburn were in the
wagon when it collided with the
hydrant. A serious accident was
narrowly averted.

Itev. F. R. Graves in Griffin.•
Rev. F. It. Graves went to Grif
fin Sunday and preached two in
structive sermons in the Presby
terian church there. He enter
tained his hearers well and was
accorded good congregations at.
both services. He is well liked
by all denominations and is cor
dially greeted at every visit. In
commenting on his Sunday night
sermon the Griffin News says:
“Rev. Graves, of Barnesville, in
a sermon at the Presbyterian
cLurch here Sunday night said
that every body prayed for the
minister, the president, congress
man and everybody else but the
editor, who needs It, the most,
since he moulds public opinion.
Probably the editor is not prayed
for because the people realize
that as a rule he doesn’t stand in
need of it. Barnesville editors
of course, may be an exception to
the rule.”

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Teddy and Freddy Made a Sugar
Bath For Papa.
Once two little brothers, with the
best intentions, played a peculiar
trick on their father. These boys
lived at a western military post and
in their house had only cold run
ning water, so that when a warm
hath was wanted the water had to
bo heated in the kitchen and carried
upstairs.
“Toddy, run down and tell Maria
to fix father's hath,” said their
mother one morning.
Teddy dashed downstairs, fol
lowed by Freddy, with about as
much noise as a pair of young ele
phants would have made. Maria
brought the water up and told the
boys to toil their father it was
ready. Then Freddy happened to
remember that their father had
been taking salt baths lately, so be
fore calling him they decided to put
the salt in. With a great deal of
trouble Teddy, standing on the back
of a chair, managed to reach a big
bag on the top shelf in the dining
room closet, while Freddy sat on the
chair to keep it from tipping. To
gether they dumped the bag into
the bathtub and then ran upstairs,
shouting:
“Papa, papa, your bath is all
ready, salt and everything!”
Poor papa! lie plunged into his
nice hot hath and discovered it was
sirup! And mamma discovered the
loss of a seven pound hag of sugar,
which left a tiny white trail from
the dining room closet to the bath
room.
What happened to Teddy ami
Freddy one can best toll by imagin
ing what would happen if one made
such a mistake.

r INVENTED SHORTHAND.
For some there lias been a contro
versy in Europe as to who was the
inventor of shorthand, but, thanks
to a discovery which was made a
few days ago by M. Rene Havette.
a French scholar, a definite answer
can now be given to this question.
A certain verbose grammarian
named Ramsay, says M. Havette,
about the year 1720 invented a
method of writing by means of con
ventional signs which was soon found
to be impracticable. But after him
came a literary man, M. de la Va
ladc, and it is he who must be re
garded as the inventor of shorthand,
since he was the first to clearly ex
plain the art in his treatise, entitled
“French Tachygraphy,” which was
written about 1774.
With the aid of 400 characters,
most ingeniously arranged, he con
structed, says M. Havette, the first
really practical method of short
hand. lie was much criticised, as
all inventors are; still it remains
true that he was the first to adopt
the approved phonographic system
and to construct for every sound of
the alphabet as simple a character
as possible. His treatise is a mas
terpiece of its kind.
Bold His Seat For Eight Dollars.
Seats on the Philadelphia Stock
Exchange are worth about SB,OOO
each nowadays. But a seat was ac
tually sold in that body the other
day for $8 cash. This is how it hap
pened :
It was one of those stormy days
a week or two ago when business
was unusually dull on the floor of
the exchange. As it was noontime,
comparatively few brokers were on
the floor. Only three or four were
offering stocks. Quickly rising from
a chair, one of the brokers cried out
in a voice that attracted the atten
tion of every one that heard it:
“I’ll sell my seat for $8!”
“I’ll take it!” immediately shout
ed another.
“I mean the seat of my trousers,”
replied the man who had made the
offer.
“I’ll take it anyway,” unhesitat
ingly cried the broker who had ac
cepted it.
Several seized and held the rash
offerer, while another carefully cut
out the seat of his trousers with a
penknife. It was handed to the
buyer, who solemnly paid the $8. —

A Title For Some Woman.
The young woman of means who
wishes to buy a title can do so now
for a moderate outlay. At least
that is the tenor of a letter received
by a prominent firm of solicitors
and published in one of the London
newspapers.
Avery old title is offered to any
lady prepared to marry the present
incumbent and to pay him £25,000
($125,000) for the privilege of keep
ing up her rank at her own expense
after marriage. “Age and looks are
immaterial,” says the printer, ‘ffmt
character must be irreproachable.
No divorcees need apply.”
One paper says the offer seems to
come from a marquis and remarks
that a sharp lookout might be kept
during coronation week for anew
marchioness, whose age and looks
are immaterial.
"The square peg in the round hole”
figuratively expresses the use of means
unsuited to the desired end. A great
many people who have been cured of
dyspepsia and other diseases of the stom
ach and its allied organs of digestion and
nutrition by the use of I )r. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery say: "We tried many
medicines with only temporary benefit.
It was not until we liegan the use of
‘ Golden Medical Discovery ’ that we
found a complete and lasting cure.”
It is undoubtedly true that Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery holds the rec
ord for the perfect and permanent cure
of indigestion and other diseases of the
stomach and associated organs of diges
tion and nutrition. It is not a palliative.
It cures the cause of disease and builds
up the laxly with solid healthy flesh, not
flabby fat.
"It is with pleasure that I tell you what Dr.
Pierce * Holden Medical Discovery and * Pellets’
have done for tne," writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of
Peedr. Kaufman Cos., Texas. "Two years ago I
was takeu with stomach and bowel trouble.
Kvcrythiugr 1 ate would put me in distress. I
lived two weeks on milk and even that gave me
?in, 1 felt as though I would starve to death.
hrre doctors attended me —one said 1 had dys
pepsia. two said catarrh of the stomach and
bowels. They attended me (one at a time) for
one year. 1 stopped taking their medicine and
tried other patent medicine: got no better, and
l grew so weak and nervous my heart would
flutter 1 could not do any kind of work. Now
1 can do my house work very well: am gaining
in Hrsh and gmgii, and can eat anything I
want."

A Reilo of the Maine.
A curious find has just been made
at Samrishamn, in Sweden. At low
water a sailor discovered among the
stones on the beach of Massakas
bay there a teaspoon of brass. After
cleaning it he found engraved on
the inside the picture of a man-of
war, with the words “Maine” and
“6,600 tons.” The spoon would
therefore appear to have belonged
to the ill fated Maine, sunk in Ha
vana harbor in the spring of 1898,
and it needed four years for the
ocean currents to wash this tiny ob
ject ashore on the coast of southern
Sweden.
His Great Experience.
The craze for young men is got
I to such a stage that advertisements
for help read as follows: “Wanted.
•—Young man, not over twenty-five,
of great experience; permanent em
ployment to right party.” Such a
youth must have got his “great ex
perience” through metempsychosis,
lie must be the reincarnation of
some departed captain of industry.
