Perhaps the reaaon that China is backwards is because its cue hangs be hind. t t Tha Boer.- new long ago that they could have peace by asking for it, but what they re. lly want is something on the side. t t Ai last, somebody has invented an electric light that can be turned down without being turned out. He should become popular with courting couples. t t Governors all throagh the West are calling on the churches to pray for rain, and then are going to service without umbrellas. This doesn't argue a faith that can move mountains. t t Well! Well 1 Well! Strange things do happen ! It has been announced that it is proposed to ask the next Con gress to "make largo appropriations" for rivers and harbors ! t t It is curious that women don't keep up with the times sufficiently to ask their husbands for §4.97 instead of five dollars, and trust to the bargain in stinct to help them to make a winning. t t The pleasure of J. J. Van Allen at being made a Knight of Grace is noth ing, compared to that of those Ameri .an ladies who were recently addressed by King Edward as his "Dutiful, loyal subjects." t t Doubtless Some Democrats think it's a pity that Aguinaldo couldn't have gotten that million dollar bribe for sur rendering last fall in time to make a contribution that would really have been worth while to the Democratic Exchequer. In Alabama the Legislature is to meet only once in four years under the new Constitution. Evidently Alabama be lieves with Thomas Jefferson that a state is best governed when it is gov erened least. t J The automobilists in Washington have petitioned to bo exempt from car rying lights at night, saying that to at tend to these will increase the already pressing duties of the driver by 25 per cent. Some people have nerve. If an automobile doesn't need lights, we'd like to know what does. t t One of the most thrilling short stories of the day, entitled "A Kentucky Scarab," by Crittenden Merriott, is published in the August number of the Pocket Magazine. ' It shows that there are more mysteries in life than any of us are apt to believe. t t Democrats are funny folks, aren't they? Some five years ago, the silver men were fiercely denouncing the gold men for bolting and helping to elect McKinley. Now the same silver men, outvoted in their own party, are sav agely denouncing all who won't join them in bolting. Beech wood. Everybody is busy harvesting these days. C. R. Kline spent Sunday with Em porium friends. Joe Beldin, of More Hill, visited our town last Friday. Jos. Young, of Kane, spent Sunday with his family at this place. Robert Armstrong transacted business on Emporium last Thursday. Several of our people took in the shop picnic at Tunnel Hill on Saturday. Dr. Millhaupt, of St. Marys, made a professional trip to Beech wood, Wednes day. Piatt Reed, of Galeton, a former resi dent of this place, visited friends here recently. A number of our young people at tended the dance at Ratbun Saturday evening. Miss Mary Lobby and brother Joe, of Rathbun, visited friends here last week. John Andrus, of Canton, Pa., is spend ing a short time with Jacob Andrus and family. We noticed that the picture agents were rather slow in collecting money. Wonder why. Profs. W. J. and George W. Leavitt, attended the festival at Howard, Saturday evening. Mike Lawson, one of the N. Y. C. railroad's best firemen, visited friends here on Sunday. George Herbstreet returned to St. Marys, Monday, after helping the old folks in haying. Clarence Morrison is home from the woods and is spending a few days gather ing buckle berries. The many iriends of "Dick" Lawson will be pleased to learn that he is recov ering from his recent illness. Miss Carrie Sanford, one of Montana's charming school teachers, visited friends here last week, guest of Gilman Leavitt and family. She departed for her west ern home on Monday. Clear Creek Letter. Everybody is busy haying. Mrs. Smith Whitman is visiting Gar deau friends. Messrs. Brown and Dixon are haying for Smith Whitman. Miss Nettie Wilson, of this place has returned from the Pan-Am. Ed Skinner has been on Moore Hill, helping his brother hay it, this week. Messrs. Wright and King arc the rushing hayers. They have their hay ing completed. Mrs. Brown and daughter of Cross Fork, visited relatives in our city a few days during the past week. Messrs. I. F. Ostrum and Charley Hall are busily haying, although the rain doesn't let them progress very last. A valuable cow, belonging to Fred Edsal, fell and broke one of her legs last Friday. At this writing the cow is get ting along nicely, and is expected will get well. A large rattlesnake was discovered in Fred Edsall's door yard last Sunday afternoon. It was killed by Isaac Os trum, a neighbor. The reptile measured four feet, having eight rattles. This should be a warning. While hunting cows up Jenks Run last Saturday evening, Miss Bertha Whaley, of Moore Hill and Miss Maudie Edsall, of this place, saw a large rattle snake. The young ladies were very much frightened, but no doubt would have killed the reptile if possible. Guess Aoain. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Crown, of Bennettsvillc, S. C, was once immensely surprised. "Through long suffering from Dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffer ed great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities arc splendid for torpid liver." For Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Stom ach and Liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50c at L. Tag garts. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, TJ \Y, AUGUST i, 1901. A New Disease Brought About by the ! Hot Wave. The recent hot wave which swept over the country has added a new ail ment to the many ills which afflict humanity and it is said that thoasands are suffering from it. Philadelphia physicians term the new disease "chronic heat stroke." Those who worried through the warm weather without succumbing are now the great est sufferers. Instead of prostrating them, as it did hundreds of people, the heat caused a depression, from which sprang pains in the head and chest, a feeling of lassitude in the limbs, sleep lessness and general debility. The strain of these ailments has incapaci tated many and driven hundreds to their family physicians. The best remedy, physicians agree, is plenty of sleep and rost from toil; a gentle tonic should be taken, plenty of cold, but not iced water. All alcholic drinks should be avoided. One Phila delphia doctor says this new ailment is as bad as lagrippe. Evidently no effort has been spared to make The Ladies' Home Journal for August a positive boon to its readers during the warm midsummer days. Its light, readable articles, bright stories, clever poems, charming music, and numerous beautiful illustrations afford the easiest and pleasantest kind of en tertainment for leisure hours. En chanting views of the lovely scenery in the Engadine Valley and among the Swiss and Italian lakes, as well as such delightful articles as "The Singing Village of Germany" and "What Girl- Life in Italy Means," allure the thoughts to foreighn lands, while there are timely suggestions about "The Picnic Basket," "Keeping a House Cool in the Dog-Days," and "Sea-Side Toys and How to Make Them." Other thoroughly interesting contributions are "The First White Baby Born in the Northwest," "My Boarding School for Girls," and the usual serial and depart ment articles.
