Guests o! Hon. Alexander Billmcycr. The early morning train at this place Sunday was boarded by F. W. Gallagher, P. M. Crossley, Thos. E. Kennedy, E. P. Ingham, A. H. Buschhausen, Ed. Sweeney, W. B. Hitter, W. A. Kennedy, W.A. Fitz gerald, Bur. Co well, B. F. Crossley and James Cochran, comprising a party of a "jolly big dozen" re sponding to an invitation by Hon. Alex. Billmeyer to spend a day with him at his noted country home in Washingtonville. There is every evidence that they enjoyed the lim itless hospitality of this big hearted, royal entertainer Billmeyer. Each say tliey would not have missed this occasion for fifty dollars, which is convicting evidence that something was doing about Billmeyer's private parks and ponds, wine cellar and sumptuous dinning board. There is no reason for believing that they lunched on sandwiches and drank hydrant high balls or aqua punch. It was a picked crowd, able to over come all that the generous host had to give. Friends at Milton met the party and gave them a warm wel come on their arrival. Pop Cham berlin, it is said, was one to actively engage in brushing the dust of travel from their garments and passed his favorite brand of chewing tobacco.

"Don't tell me any more that New Forkerß are not polite," chirruped the young man who "takes a powerful sight of notice" to the old man who reads as he rides as the pair left an elevated train. "Saw something a lit tle while ago that convinces me there are others besides blanket Indians on the Manhattan reservation." "What was it?" queried the man who reads and sees nothing unless per chance it be a vacant seat spotted afar off over the top of his newspaper. "You didn't notice It? Of course you didn't. You were too busy forgetting the fact that there were women In the aisle of the car. It happened between Ninety-third and Eighty-first streets, and It almost made me feel that the days of chivalry had returned. An old woman was holding on a strap and standing in front of a dapper chap with a blase face. "Step up farther In the center of th« car!' shouted the guard, and the old lady was al>out to obey when the dap per head opened and its owner gallant* ly said: " 'Don't move, madam. 1 get off at Fifty-third street and Eighth avenue, and If you'll wait you can have oij seat.' "Such gallantry on an elevated train In New York almost brought moisture to my eyes, and if I hnd had a baseball bat I am quite sure that I could not have restrained myself from bringing moisture to that part of the blase face which on the gridiron Is usually pro tected by a rubber guard."—New York Telegram. Health Making Storma. What the tide does In the ocean of water storms do In the ocean of nlr— deleterious and i>olsonous germs are removed or killed. The noticeable Bmell of ozone after a thunderstorm and the Increased bodily comfort are well known. Storms, in the main, are due to the action of our atmosphere in resisting the escape of the radiant heat. Even at the equator great cold exists at the trifling height of four miles above sea level, which Is reduced to three during the night. One week of continued night in the tropics would lock them In the grip of eternal frost and put an end to all life. Now and again the upper fluid is punctured, so to speak, and through the breach so caused a downward rush with rotary uiovement Is made till equilibrium lb again restored. Storms, therefore, are essentially beneficent, both to health and life. They reshape for use the necessary life giving air and warmth as earthquakes do the crust of the earth. Strength In L'nlon. When the rough riders charged up the hill at San Juan, they threw away their knapsacks, their canteens and everything which would Impede llhelr progress and gave all their strength to the attack. In the war which we as farmers are waging Is there nothing we ought to throw away? Have we been weighed down by debts acquired through the credit system? Let's dis card the credit system. Have we fool ishly tried "to paddle our own canoe" without asking or granting aid? Let's got rid of that foolish notion and act with others through the grange, re membering that "in union there strength."—George A. Fuller.
