A grapevine tele- j phone from there received this morning states that their catch consists of minnows, but will grow to be whales in size when they reach home and relate their experiences to an admiring crowd of friends. They are having a gay old time feasting -on bacon and mixed bread, as 'they carried a large quantity of that old stand by rations, which comes in mighty good when suckers fail to bite.

Mrs. Susie Soz Dies Suddenly. - Mrs. Susie Sox, wife of Mr. John Sox, died suddenly at her home, about three miles from this place last Friday afternoon at the age of 49 years, 1 month and 9 days. In the morning of this day she was stricken down with what is supposed to have been a stroke of paralysis and all that tender hands and loving hearts could do and medical skill suggest was done to give her relief, but without avail and in the afternoon her gentle spirit winged its everlasting flight to the far away home of the soul in the beautiful Beulah land. She died in the triumph of Christian hope, with the blessed assurance that there remaineth a rest for the people of God. She was a consistent member of ZioD Lutheran church and in the discharge of her Ubristam ana social amies sne was faithful and acted well her part. She leaves a large family, who have the sympathy of their friends and neighbors. She was buried Sunday from her home, the Rev. J. A. Cromer, her pastor, assisted by the Rev. E. L. Lybrand, conducted the funeral services in the presence of about 1,000 persons, after which the casket containing her earthly remains was laid away in the family burying ground. Protect Yourselves.

Quite a thrill of surprise was caused by a Scottish member of parliament who was recently observed calmly knitting a stocking while waiting in the smoking room of the house of commons. At the present day the sight of a man plying the knitting needles is a novel one, though in the remoter parts of Scotland it is not at all uncommon. Less than half a century ago. however, the greater part of the stockings ( worn were knitted by the men folk. | the women confining their attention ; more or less to spinning. The shepherd starting out" at the 1 break of dav to his duties on the hill ! * would as soon have forgotten his lunch j of oaten cakes and barley bannocks as j his knitting needles and wool. As he trudged through the heather on his visit to each part of his wide scattered flock or directed from a convenient height the rounding up efforts of I Uf/. + smllin liio fii-nlnco finirnra liid i.aiLULi. Ui 1U J LAX V. 1V.OO UUgVlkJ plied their task. Even the well to do farmer as he chatted with a friend of markets and "nowt" (cattle) could ill bear to see the minutes wasted, and the "click, click" of his needles bore witness to his diligence. Such industry seems strange to the present day mind, but what else had they to occupy their minds and time? Newspapers, as we know them now, there were absolutely none. Once a week or less frequently a small local sheet would circulate among the well to do homes. As for books, these were often limited to the Bible auu "The Pilgrim's ! Progress." Of games there were but few, and for the most part these wer? not encouraged.?Home Chat A WAY OF ESCAPE. Jakeivar. the Widow Barotow and the Preacher'* Text. "Talking about widows," said the man with the stogy, "did I ever tel' you about Jakeway and the Widow Barstow?" Now. there hadn't been a word said about widows, but one of the party re? i; - -i A J A tt yiit.'u, i\o, sii'i ,vuu mr>ei uju. "Well," said the man with the stogy. "Jakeway was a character, one of those you read about He'd lived alone for years. When he was a young man, he had been disappointed in love or something, and from that time he'd been sour?a reg'lar woman hater?and the particular object of his dislike was the Widow Barstow, aggressive from her head to her heels. The very sight of her to old Jakeway was like the waving of a red flag to a buli. "They useter go to the same church, J but the ushers knew the situation well | enough to put a goodly portion of the | sanctuary between them. Unfortunately on one Sunday there was a new usher. The opening service was well j under way, and Jakeway was in a pew j by himself well down toward the front, when down the aisle came the new usher with the widow tailing along in j his wake, and he handed her into Jakeway's pew. "The old man gave one look as the j figure rustled in; then he gathered up his umbrella, his hat. his bandana and his prayer book and cleared the back of the pew in front with the agility of _ 1 1 4- In An tr.

Tbo Tnl>le Xnpkln. Curiously enough, that article now considered almost indispensable, the table napkin, was first used only by children and was adopted by elder I members of the family about the middle of the fifteenth century. In etiquette books of an earlier date than this among other sage pieces of advice for children are instructions about wipj ing their fingers and hps with their I napkins. It seems that the tablecloth was long enough to reach the tloor and served the grown people in place of napkins. When they did begin to use napkins, they placed them first on the shoulder, then on the left arm and finally tied them about the neck.
