St Louis, April 30—May is to 'be a
continuous performance of tornadoes,
thunderstorms, hail and frost. Rev.
Irl R. Hicks has hung out the danger
signals in his long distance forecasts
for the month, aad trouble is feared
by those who have faith in his prognostications
The merry month is to open with a
series of violent thunderstorms, approaching
tornadic violence in the
West, especially on the 3rd and 4th.
Low barometer, sultriness, fitiul south
winds and restless clouds indicate an
almost positive danger at this time,
says Mr. Hicks The country at
large is to be visited with, heavy rains,
hail, followed by late snow squalls
and sleet. Frosts will be natural,
and much probability of seismic disturbance.

XXTK art authorized to announce
" JOEL K MARTIN
of Sullivan as a candidate for States Attorney
of Moultrie County, subject to the decision of
the democratic county primary, August 8th.
vVe are a queer people we,
love to deceive ourselves; we
love to pose for something above
what we are, and oh how it hurts
when forced to step down from
our pedestal.
It is not becoming for you or
mc or any one of us as individuals,
to rail at graft, corruption
or corporate wrong doing, when
on a smaller scale we are guilty
of the same practices.
Democrats throughout the
S.ate are expected to put up
their best men for the Legislature
this year, also for their county
and other offices. As might
has been right, but now there
seems to be a reversal and Right
is striving to down Might. Solid
ability is needed to keep this old
Ship of State from floundering in
the gale.
Lack of honor and honesty in
politics and business is what is
ruining our country. This trying
to get something for nothing;
get rich quick schemes, prosper
without work, soft snap, easy
cushion jobs. Let us each individually
try to conduct our business
or business entrusted to us
on honest, conservative, legitimate
lines.
We are the leading nation of
the world in manufacturing laws.
In fact we elect men to the legislature
to grind out laws by the
wholesale, with no intention of
obeying them or attempting to
enforce obedience. Even away
down in our little country town
of Sullivan an ordinance will be
brought to light once and awhile
to answer a necessity and then
find it too faulty to answer the
purpose.
A fear is expressed that Bryan
cannot be nominated without a
struggle, and that if nominated
cannot be elected because the
.scnisms in New York would lose
him the State and consequently
the election. The Democracy
of the nation has for more than
fvrty years past heard this same
song of the siren: That to succeed
the party of the nation must
obey the Tammany leaders, who
dominate New York. The reverse
is true, as history shows.
No Democrat who attended the
St. Louis convention in 1876 can
forget how the redoubtable John
Kelley led these Tammany
braves in their fight against
Tilden,- How they swarmed the
hotels, lobbies and the convention
hall, predicting dire disaster,
defeat in New York and the nation,
if Tilden should be nominated.
Despite this onslaught,
he was nominated and elected,
c irrying New York State by 40,-
000 majority.

Where Clothespins Come Prom.
, Tucked away in the northeast corner
•mK If able Is 'a good sized town where
**he people make their living from
-clothespins and pail handles. Some of
a* may have wondered where all the
clothespins come from which are used
-Igr the housewives throughout the coun-
-*ry on wash day. This Maine town
snakes more clothespins than any other
place in the world, while the bulk of
the wooden handles which are strung |
on the wire bales by which we carry :
i valla and other receptacles also come
"from Bryant Pond, the name of the
Yankee community.
The first process In the manufacture
eff the clothespins or pail bandies is to
saw the logs Into lengths of about two
and one-half feet each. .These lengths
are rapidly spilt by another saw into
thin slabs, which are In turn converted
into long square strips by gang saws.
Deft hands toss these strips into a revolving
drum, wbicb bears them against
atlll other saws and turns them out In
'the form of oblong blocks. Falling
upon a moving belt, the blocks are
whirled away to a number of lathes.
If the blocks are to become pail handles
they are bored in a most Ingenious
.fashion on lathes running at a high
Tate of speed. If they are destined for
"•clothespins they are simply turned into
the desired Shape.
From the lathes a belt conveys the
clothespins to a "Blotter," which rapidx

No. matter what the novelists say
against her, the smiling wife Is an improvement
on her stern, browed fclster.
and the smiling mother Is the one who
gathers her habgss most tenderly in
her ar:ns. Children read more in looks
than In speech.
. "She talked kind, but she looked
aross," Kjiild a little boy of a new teacher
as a reason for his refusal to go to
school. And big people are affected
much more than they realize by the expressions
of the faces that they meet
in the street. "She was so.plea.sant" Is

that 1 can hardly get my breath. I

you! '.Now.' ^iy shoulders are resting
so nicely on this font frame. May la

that the house Is ; no longer used) for
M legitimate purpose. On the con

It is perhaps the"most remarkable
lighthouse in the world. It Is conical

In its tower a stream of light i«

are reflected to an arrangement. of
prisms, which, make them c^nvej-gf to
a focus outside Hhe lantern, intf' from
there they diverge 'in the necessary" direction.
Thus a lighthouse exists that
has neither lamp nor keeper.' and yet
It serves all the purposes in Its locality
