After a patient illness of long standing, Mrs. Stephen Polie de parted this life at her home in Espy early Sunday morning at the age of seventy-one years.

The Weekly Faper is the Best Advertising Medium- A contemporary has been vigor ously sounding the advantages of the daily paper as -an advertising medium, but it fails to give any reasons. All who want to believe I this argument can do so, of course, but the merchant who fails to ad vertise in the weekly papers is cutt ing himself off from family patron age. The daily papers are hastily skimmed, then thrown aside. The weekly paper is read, re-read, and kept for reference. Women are the most profitable patrons of the stores and few women glance at more than the marriage and death notices in a daily paper. Besides the advertis ing rates ot tne weeklies are so much cheaper that the merchants can explain more fully what they have to offer. These observations are addressed to merchants, but they are equally applicable to all advertisers. We do nol say this be cause the Columbian is a weekly, but because the reasons advanced will commend themselves to every one who gives the matter any thought. Not to advertise in the weekly papers is to cut yourself off Irom family patronage that is the plain truth iu a happy epigram. GAME COMMISSION NEEDS MONEY. Number of Important Prosecutions on Hand With Nothing To Secure Counsel. The Board of Game Commission, ers needs money badly and its mem bers are making efforts to secure funds through donations from sports men throughout the commonwealth. J. Q. H. Denny, of Ligonier, has been placed in charge of the work of raising the money required and is sending appeals to the various asso ciations of sportsmen which have manifested an interest in the work of the board. The appropriation from the state is but $1,500 per year, and this barely pays the salary of the clerk and post age. The expenses for prosecutions for violation of the game laws mu6t be defrayed from the fines collected and contributions from those who want game protected. At present the board has a number of important cases on hand and its finances are depleted, at least $1,000 being needed. The defendants in the cases have retained excellent at torneys and equally good legal talent is needed by the board. An Enemy of the Peach- The peach season is opening up in this state, but the indications are that the crop will be small, reaches have been tailing for a month or more and no person seemed to know the cause. It is now discovered that the curculio, a special enemy of the plum, is attack ing the peach and apple. The insect lays its eggs in the fruit and torcei them into the hearts. Sheep Murders Active It is learned that in addition to killing a Mexican sheep herder named Sam Ctallaxan near Landers, Wyo., and slaughtering several thousand sheep, a band of 150 masked men has surrounded all the sheep camps and forced the sheep men to abandon their flocks. After killing one herd of 3,000 sheep, twenty five other herds, amounting to about 65,000 sheep, were driven into the mountains and Wft to shift lor themselves. The sheep men have been threat ened with instant death if they go after their flocks. The sheep are now the prey of wild animals and the loss will be very heavy. The scene of the lawlessness is 115 mihs west of Landers, in Fremont county. The militia may be called out to protect the sheep men. Checks as Autographs. Why Mr. Kipling's Bank Account Showed Big Balance, An experiment once tried by Kip ling for the purpose of checking house hold expenses had a somewhat differ ent result than was anticipated. He opened a small account at a local bank in order to pay every bill with a cheque. Many of the cheques were for very small amounts, and the shrewd shopkeepers soon discovered that they could get more for the cheques from autograph collectors than from the bank. The consequence was that at the end c the month Mr.Kipling's bank account showed a bigger balance than the counterfoils of his cheque book This puzzled him very much, until he happened one day to call at an office where the head was an enthusiastic autograph collector, and found one of his cheques framed and hanging on the wall. Home Love is the Best- Some Real Good Advice to Young Women An exchange says: lHome love is the best love. The love that you are born to is the sweetest you will ever have on earth. You, who are so anxious to escape from the home nest. pause a moment and remember that this is so. It is richt that the hour should come when you in your turn become a wife and a mother and give the best love to others; but that will bs just it. Nobody not a lover, not a husband will ever be so tender or so true as your mother and father. Never again, after strangers have broken the beautiful bond, will there be anything so sweet as the little circle of mother, father and children where you were cherished, protected praised and kept trom harm. You may not know it now but you will know it some day. Whomsoeve vou marry true and good though h may be, will, after the lover days are over and the honeymoon has wanned give you only what you deserve of love and sympathy and usually much less. never more. You may watch and be wary, lest you lose that love which came in through the eyes because the one who looked thought you beautiful But those who bore you loved when you were that dreadful little object, beby, and thought you exquisitely beautiful and wonderfully brilliant thev do not care for faces that are fairer and form that are more graceful than yours. You are their very own and so better to them always than others. Treat Your Horse Humanely- During the hot weather horsemen should pay particular attention to their horses. These animals are often reined up so tightly by the short bearing or check rein that their flexor muscles have no play at all. It is sheer torture to keep them so, hour after hour, merely to give a stylish appearance. To drive without any check line is un practicable, a number have tried it, but have abandoned it. The horse gets his head in the dust and dirt, and soon presents a sorry appearance. However a plea is entered for a loose check rain. Horses are so-faithful that gratitude as well as seifinterest should be on the side of kindness. Now that the heat is iutense attention should be given to the watering of horses. Deaths.

Neglect it and you wiH shorten its days of usefulness. Good treatment consists of regularity in winding and cleaning and oiling. Always wind it in the morning. Your time of rising is moie regular than your time of retiring. You carry your watch during the day and it needs the full strength of the mainspring. Don't let it run without attention till it stops. Choose some day of the year your birthday is easy to remember End have it cleaned and oiled regularly on that day. It doesn't take much oil to satisfy a watch, but when it does need, it needs badly. Carry gocd dust proof case and never open the back. Always have a watch maker regulate it. He won't charge you for doing it and he knows just how. I!y following these mles a good movement will last you a life time. When you're done with it it will still be a good time keeper for your boy and your boy's boy to carry in turn, O-eo. "X7".
