WEATHER PROPHECY.
Not Made by Hicks, but More Ae-
curate.
While we are not a prophet, nor the
son of a prophet, yet is it becoming a
popular fad to give weather forecasts,
so here is our prediction for next
month:
During the first half there will be
some brisk winds from the north, but
every day the sun will rise, and often
there’ll be gloomy skies; some days,
however, may be fair, with southern
winds and mellow air. These things
will happen, sure, we know, because
they always happen so.
The good month’s moon will get full,
and office-seekers work their “pull”
Some lucky one will land the prize,
while other men, esteemed as wise,
will fail in all they undertake, and find
they made a sad mistake, for charlatans
to fortune ride, while modest worth is
thrust aside. These things will hap-
pen, sure, we know, because they’ve
always happened so.
In this good month of 1908, the boys
and girls will have their fun. They'll
go to parties, dance and spark; they’ll
kiss each other in the dark; they'll
marry and begin their life, like happy,
popeful man and wife, and sometimes
they will own a kid, just like their dads
‘and mammies did. These things will
happen, sure, we know, because they've
always happened so.—Ex.
SORE OR SOAR.
Some years ago two students at a
large institution received exactly the
same mark for their first essays. The
mark was the lowest given in the class
of sixty.
One student said, “I'm sore;
pected better than that.”
“Well,” said the other, with a laugh,
“T’ll soar; for I'll do better than that
the next time.”
The one student left before the term
was half through. The other remained,
and at the end of the term ranked
among the first ten of his class.
Disappointment has always the one
effect or the other. It makes one
either sore or soar.
The right spirit will determine to
soar. Any defeat to-day will make
him more determined to win to-mor-
row.
And as to either defeat or disappoint-
ment, the less one refers to them the
better. It is no use to seek to explain
them. The one thing to do is to accept
the lesson, wherever the fault may
lie, and tojbe guided by it for the fu-
ture.
It does no good to feel sore at men
or circumstances. The wise course is
to soar, and so forget one is sore.
Not “I'm sore,” but “I’ll soar,” is a
good motto to hang in the innermost
room of your heart.—Selected.
Regarding Family Jars.
A group of Sabetha women recently
put it to a vote and decided that the
easiest man to put up with, after all, is
the man with the quick temper.
He flies up, says a few bad words,
knocks a few things around, slams the
door and is over it. One woman says
her husband grows excessively polite
when she has displeased him. When
he is ostentatious in picking up her
handkerchief, getting her a chair and
opening the door for her, she knows
there is trouble ahead. A second wo-
man says she trembles when her hus-
band looks grieved. When a sad ex-
pression appeared around his mouth
she immediately began to look back
over the past few hours to find out
what sheihad done. A third said her
lord andfmaster became patient. He
waited humbly for her to finish her
harangue, acquiesced patiently in ail
she said, and put up with her caustic
remarks asgwith vagaries of a little
child.
The consensus of opinion was that a
few smashed dishes is the most satis-
factory way out of the family jar. The
atmosphere becomes cooled immedi-
ately after an explosion, and there is
always a nice, refreshing making-up
when the smoke of battle clears away.

I ex-
To Republicans:
Wesare anxious to have every Re-
publican in close touch, and working in
harmony with the Republican National
Congressional Committee in favor of
the election of a Republican Congress.
ThejCongressional campaign must be
based on the administrative and ligis-
lative record of the party, and, that be-
ing so, Theodore Roosevelt’s personality
must|be a central figure and his achieve-
ments a central thought in the cam-
paign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam-
paign Text Book, and all documents is-
sued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.

The Mar Who Digs.
The New Castle News tells of en
effort in that county to effect a Semi-
Demmy fusion on Congress in oppo-
sition to Congressman Acheson, but re-
ports that the proposition has been
abandoned because the Lincolnites
feated it might militate against the
Emery vote.
And well they may. After all, the
Emery Republicans are not Democrats.
They won't stand for too much tinker-
ing with their Republicanism. They
believe the Republican party with all
its faults as they see them is better
than the Democratic party, which has
ceased to stand for anything that is
tangible and veers about like a wind-
mill with every passing popular breeze.
If the Semi-Demmy mixture is made
too rank, the Lincoln men will vote the
Republican ticket straight.
Congressman Acheson does well to
stick to his district and not wander off
after the flowers of ambition that grow
in larger political fields. In his own
potato patch he can’t be beaten. When
the bosses help him not, he gets out
and digs.—Connellsville Courier.
Too Brave.
“The bravery of young men,” said
Rear Admiral Buhler at Atlantic City,
“is a fact that I shall never cease to
marvel over. Did you ever hear of a
hope too forlorn, a risk too overwhelm-
ing, for the young men of the armies
and navies of the world to undertake?
“If only the young men’s wisdom
equaled their bravery! Butthat is im-
possible. Sometimes I think boys have
s0 much bravery that there is no room
in them for anything else.
“T used to know a boy who was brave
enough ; but reckless, careless, extrav-
agant. He accumulated a great quan-
tity of debts.
“His father gave him a talking to
one day.
“ ‘Suppose,’ he said, ‘that I should be
taken away suddenly; what would be-
come of you?’
“I'd stay hers,’ the boy answered,
smiling. ‘The question is, what would
become of you?”
How to Cut Glass.
Glass can be cut without a diamond,
and the way is very simple.
Dip a piece of common string in al-
cohol, and squeeze it reasonably dry.
Then, tie the string tightly around the
glass on the line of cutting.
Touch a match to the string and let
it burn off. The heat of the burning
string will weaken the glass in this
particular place.
While it is hot, plung the glass under
water, letting the arm go under well to
the elbow, so there will be no vibration
when the glass is struck.
With the free hand, strike the glass
outside the line of cutting, giving a
quick, sharp stroke with any long, flat
instrument, such as a stick of wood or
a long-bladed knife, and the cut will be
as clean and straight as if made by a
regular glass cutter. Large bottles
can thus be readily utilized for jelly
glasses.

KNOW HIM?
I know a nice young fellow—one whom
everybody knows—
Of whom I’ve never heard he doesn’t
settle what he owes;
He’s always where the crowd is—jyou
can meet him anywhere—
Good fellowship’s his motto, and he
wears a jolly air.
But somehow, when a check’s to pay—
of course, it’s not a crime—
He reaches for his coin, but never gets
it out in time.
You meet him at the bar, sometimes,
when no one notes or thinks
Which one it was that ordered up that
second round of drinks!
The barkeep waits suggestively, and
polishes the bar,
All start lo pay at once—of course, you
know how such things are,
This man says, loudly, “That’s on me!”
His efforts are sublime
To reach his money—but he never gets
it out in time!
The waiter’s check at dinner lies un-
noticed till he sees
The other fellow take it—then his grief
you can’t appease!
Ride with him on the street car, and
abstractedly he stares
About when the conductor comes along
to take the fares.
The other fellow pays—and then he
wildly waves his dime—
But I wonder why it is he never gets it
out in time.

OLD PAPERS for sale at THE STAR
office. They are just the thing for
pantry shelves, wrapping paper and
cartridge paper for the miners. Five
cents buys a large roll of them. tf
About twenty years ago ramie
fiber was experimented with by
manufacturers in Scotland as a sub-
stitute for flax in the weaving of
damask table cloths and napkins
with unsatisfactory results. But
their attention has recently been
brought to the subject by a Glasgow
firm, who believes it has solved the
problem of overcoming the objec
tions to ramie as a substitute far
other fibers. Their ideas relative to
the proper method of treating ramie
80 as to overcome the objections
heretofore raised against it as a fiber
for weaving purposes are here
quoted:
‘“The ‘hairy’ appearance of spun
and woven ramie goods is due either
to all of the following points or to
one or the other of them—If a ramie
fiber is degummed more than flax
the fiber is more ‘cottonized’; conse-
quently the woven goods made there-
of possess a ‘touch’ almost like cot-
ton. The hairy appearance of the
ramie yarn or woven goods is a proof
that the fiber has not been properly
combed—that is to say, the fiber has
not been drawn and combed into
equal lengths, and by spinning not
all the lengths of the fiber has been
caught in the torsion of the yarn.
“In order to spin ramie like flax it
ought to contain as much gum as
flax when ready for being hackled.
This can be done. Further, the spin-
ning machinery ought to be made
suitable for the length of the fiber,
and care should be taken to spin
fiber combed to equal lengths. As-
suming this were done properly with
a fiber not made brittle by the mis-
use of chemicals, the results un-
doubtedly would be a regular yarn
with a firm touch like flax. The wo-
ven goods made thereof would not
show a ‘hairy’ appearance more than
flax does. |
‘“Ramie has no doubt a great fu-
ture, but a regular supply of this
fiber prepared in the state of flax for
hackling must, in the first instance,
be created and sold on the market
at a price between jute and flax. It
is to-day possible to accomplish these
two points owing to the fact that the
fiber can now be extracted by ma-
chinery properly and in quantity.”
Mechanical Divining Rod.
A mechanical divining rod has been
invented by a Swiss engineer. It in-
cludes a magnetic needle, which os-
cillates violently when the instru-
ment is placed above a spring. The
machine was thoroughly tested by
experts.
Story of a I’hotograph.
The following story of a young
lady living in the country who came
to London to be photographed is
vouched for by a well known Lon-
don photographer. After some days
the lady, Miss B., was informed the
photograph was not a success, and
another sitting was suggested.
This she agreed to, but again she
was informed that the photograph
was a failure. There was a third
sitting. In two days time she re-
ceived an urgent letter from the
photographer, asking her to come up
to his studio and to bring a friend
with her. Miss B. went, accompan-
fed by her mother, and was shown
the amalzng results of the three sit-
tings.
The pictures of the girl herself
were quite good, but in each plate,
there was to be seen standing be-
hind her the figure of a man holding
a dagger in hig uplifted hand. The
features, though faint, were clearly
discernible, and Miss B. recognized
them as those of her flancee, an offi-
cer in the Indian army. The effect of
this experience was so great that af-
ter a few days she wrote out to In-
dia, breaking off the engagement.
Postal Officials Numerous.
According to the returns just is-
sued by the International Union,
Germany has more postal officials
than any other country in the world,
the total number amounting to 263,-
517. It must, however, be taken in-
to consideration that in Germany the
telegraph and telephone employees
are included in the total, while in
oter countries they to a certain ex-
tent put in a separate list. The
United States comes second with a
total of 251,615. Great Britain oc-
cupies the third place with 192,454.
