STEUBEN REPUBLICAN, "WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1902. PEN SCISSORS. JEALOUSY AND PRIDE. WORKirJG Mrs. Henry Ford, a pioneer of Auburn, died recently.

Henry Smith, of Coldwater, is 15-days" jail sentence for Uiing 1 Couqhinq I 4 1 The Ohio Supreme court has decided that the Beal local option law is constitutional. It may be that the coal trust is keeping up the strike just to get our people used to high prices. Some farm houses near Coldwater were robbed during the day of Robinson's show in that city. If these who have threshed their wheat are not very careful, they wiil lose it, as it is damp and wet, and should Treasures. I have two little kittens, I have two little socks; I have two little mittens; I have some colored chalks.

I have a baby brother, I have a pa anil ma; I have a sled an other TIu'tilts! that both my aunties saw. I have a liroken doily Who's often sick in bed; I have a talking polly With a very colored head. I havs; two golden fishes Who swim, but cannot run; I have a dozen wishes That always wish for fun! Exchange. Through One Writer's Spectacles These Two Appear as Virtues. There is a little in all persons end especially in all women.

It springs from deep love, which always desires to bo first ia the nffectlun of the one beloved. A lover, whether mmi or innid, who is not susceptible to occa sional twinges of jealousy is nut truly in love. While Jen lousy, cor.sidertd with re erence to its origin, is an ljynobia emotion, it is lrenuentiy :il.urd in its outbreaks. A father la sometimes up set with Jealousy because he imagines that his wife loves the children more thau she loves him. Mothers are fre quently jealous of the husbands or wives of their da neuters or sons.

Wives become jealous of the sisters or moth ers of their husbands. No one is im mune against the little green bacilli of jealousy. Generally the tears or frowns of jealousy are swept away with a few- kind words and a caress, but there are some unhappy persons whose jealousy Is chronic and who make themselves ridiculous and annoying by their fits and storms of jealous passion. The jealousy of such persons is beyond rea son. Indeed, it is a form of dementia which begets every sort of violence.

Fride is the strongest controller of jealousy. The theologians reckon pride among the seven deadly sins, but as a matter of fact pride is at the bottom of much of the virtuous action in the world. Fride Is the root of most brav ery, fortitude, courtesy, magnanimity. humility and industry. Pride is the es sential spirit of thorough breeding, and In spite of being enumerated among the deadly sins pride is not connected with turpitude.

San Francisco Bulle tin. APPENDICITIS. Some Pacts Regarding its Rapid In- crease. Appendicitis among Americans is certainly increasing and while this is probably due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often directly traceable to consti pation. Appendicitis is caused by ex traneous matter entering the vermi form appendix and not by the swallow ing of seeds.

If the digestive organs are kept in perfect condition so the food is duly assimulated and the bowels move gently, at least once a day, ap pendicitis will never develop. Don't take chances. Regular doses of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before meals will strengthen the organs of digestion. your appetite will be good, constipation disappears and you feel better in every way. Dr.

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does not relax the bowels by irritation, but by curing indigestion, the cause of con stipation. H. E. Kratx sells it in 50c and $1. bottles, under a positive guar antee.

John Kelley, of Kendal Iville, a ten der hearted man who owns property in Montpelier, went there the other day to have ejected from the property a de linquent tenant, but postponed the painful task because he found the wife crooning over a little babe.

At a recent revival meeting a butcher arose and said that he was the wicked est man in town, and had given his cus tomers short weight fer years. "I'd go to hell if I should die tonight," he con tinned. Immediately an old deacon, who is in the grocery business, started the hymn: "If you get there before I do, look out for me, I'm coming too." And then the grocer wondered why ev erybody laughed.

A free rural route carrier in the south part of the state used an automobile to make his trips and the government was so well pleased that the use of these along the routes will be encouraged.

It is reported that a great many apple trees show dead twigs and farmers at tribute the condition to the sting of the seventeen-year locusts. Their theory is thought to be incorrect, however, for those who have made close observations say the peculiar blight is found where no locusts were heard of, and a careful inspection reveals no sting of an insect of any kind. Local postoffices have placed on sale a new edition of postal cards, issued in memory of President McKinley.

The stamp mark in the upper right hand is an excellent likeness of the late president, while in a corresponding oval in the upper left hand corner is engraved the court of arms of the United States. The card is one of the most artistic editions ever issued by our nation. Many of these cards will be kept as sovenirs to look at in future years. In speaking of the corn prospects an exchange says: Corn is no longer grown simply to be converted into mush, cake, starch, and to fatten stock, but has become a valuable ingredient in a doz en or more compounds of extensive use throughout the civilized world. No matter how much is raised, the demand for corn is steadily on the increase.

This will insure a good price for years to come. America being the only country that produces corn on a large scale, it is apparent that a productive corn field is about as valuable property as a farmer can have.

Eva Pryor, of near Hiilsdale, suicided last week by covering her clothing with coal oil and then applied a match. Her suffering was great several days before she died. The state board of health reports that during the first six months of 1902 there were 4,230 cases of smallpox in this state resulting in only twenty deaths. The disease prevailed in 57 counties. The residence of T.

Hilton, in Cold- water, was burglarized last week, and a historic revolver stolen. The weapon was the one with which Tom Johnson killed a man named Gordnier, and afterwards killed himself with the same gun several years ago. Squirrel hunters do not report many sauirrels killed this year. Most of the big timber which contained their dens has been cut out and there seems no place for them to hide. A few years hence will see them as rare as wild turkeys or fully exterminated.

A man and woman at Waterloo are threatened with prosecution for the in human treatment of their 18 months' old child which they lock up in a room and then go away and leave it for a day or two at a time. This same pair was recently driven out of Auburn. Adolphus Bassler, of Jonesville, was struck by a flying mail sack last week and seriously injured. He was on the brick pavement between the street and depot. The sack weighed about 150 pounds and was thrown from the early morning fast mail running at the rate of forty miles per hour.

It is claimed by the state statistician that the wheat yield in this state this year will be about 40,000,000 bushels. which is 7,000,000 in excess of last year and 8,000,000 bushels over the average yield. It is conceded also that there will be a phenominal corn yield. Potatoes will be almost innumerable. When a girl goes to church and whispers and giggles and keeps everybody near her on nettles during the entire services, is nothing short of an imposition.

People who would like to listen to the sermon are prevented from doing bo by her conduct. The ushers would be justified in inviting such girls to step out of the church. The "Wild Men's Show" has been at Bluff ton recently, and the chief "spieler" announces in his outside harangue that the idiotic colored children were 400 years old; that the woman had eaten one of her own children recently, and that the U. S. government would electrocute both the parents in two weeks.

An old maidionce lived in our town, so it is said, who, if you called a dress a gown, would blush like poppies red. Her mind was neither frail nor weak her modesty was rare; of autumn trees she'd never speak because their limbs were bare. When night its sable shadows threw, she'd tumble in a swoon if curtains did not hide from view the man up in the moon.

She never sang a sacred song a very modest whim: To think of one she thought was wrong because It was a hymn. A plumber caused her death one day so the story goes by asking her in a careless way to let Lira sea her hose..
