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. Kimihwiiy llorsi'.

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.” BASKBAMi.

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. iIPiICK^WKy still use ' to&p?

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. — New York Commercial. 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." Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.

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. —New \ ork Press.
