A well known manufacturer of grain cradles in Franklin county says that he has sold more grain cradles this season than in any one season for many years. This leads one of our reporters (who by-the-way is a bachelor) to obr serve that, with all our boasted progress, the rocking cradle seems to be going out of use fas ter than the grain cradle. Chief Burgess, W. A. Sloan de sires the News to express to our citizens his appreciation of the hearty manner in which they re sponded to the call to clean Wa ter street; he feels that he but voices the sentiment of the whole community. He said that a lit tie more oil would have been an improvement, but that Council had to "cut according to cloth." Last Thursday evening, Flora, ten-year-old daughter of Abram Pittman residing on the pike about two miles west of McCon nellsburg, fell from a cherry tree and injured one of her arms.

The United States Bureau of Agriculture is trying to educate owners of chickens concerning the superiority of infertile eggs, not only for use, but for keeping qualities. Large shippers of eggs do not permit roosters with the laying hens unless the eggs are intended for hatching. If a hen sit on eggs over night, life appears in the germ of a fertile egg, and when such eggs are put into the market basket the germ dies and rots, and by the time the eggs reach city markets they are classed as "spots and rots." One reason for J,he low price of eggs is the fact that dealers must make allowance for this waste, and quote prices to country stores and hucksters accordingly, in order to offset the cost of can dling them, and to make up for the bad eggs. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Sharpe, who has been residing in Oklahoma for several years has removed to Kansas City, Mo., where she ex pects to stay indefinitely. Mrs. Sharpe says that this is a banner year for farmers in Oklahoma and Kansas. The wheat crop in both those states is simply immense. The cutting of wheat and oats is over and threshing is no iv on. As is generally the case when bushels are plenty, price is "scarce" and labor is always high; so that the farmers are not any too happy after all. The trou ble with the wheat crop in those states is, that the seasons are apt to be too dry; this has "been an exceptionally fine season lots of showers. It is hoped that the ciimatic conditions are changing, in, that there are likely to be fewer dry seasons as the land be comes cultivated. Mrs. Sharpe's , address is now 2534 Wabash Ave , Kansas City, Mo. DAYS Of DIZZINESS. Come to Hundreds of IKcConocllsburg People.

BRAGGART LOST HIS NERVE Cool Courage of the Soldier Whom He Had Threatened to Kill Wat Too Much for Him. Whrn Louis Napoleon was presi dent of the second French republic, the ollicer in command at Lyons was General Cnstellane, a veteran whoso stern rule kept in check the riotous spirit of that disorderly city. One of the most boisterous citi zens was a barber, who openly boast ed that he only waited for an oppor tunity to rid the city of its stern commandment. The general heard of the threat and one afternoon ordered his coach man to drive to the barber's shop, Leaving his carriage, the general entered the shop unattended, took a vacant chair and desired tbe barber to shave him. The astonished brag gart performed the operation as well ns his nervousness would permit When he had finished the general paid linn and said quietly: "Monsieur, since you have not availed yourself of the opportunity I liave given you to cut my throat, would it not be wise to refrain from uttering threats that you have not the courage to carry out?" MAKING HIM FEEL AT HOMi Odd Offer of New York Hotel Man Which Probably Commodore Peary Declined With Thanks.

"In fact," ho said, "when stopped, just after my return from the north pole, at Simeon Ford's luxurious hotel, Mr. Ford bowed and rubbed his hands and said anxiously " 'We shall do everything to make you feel at home. Would you lih a nice largo cake of -ice in your bed, sir?'" FAMOUS FRENCH ARCHITECT.
