BLANKETS GROW ON TREES
, Ecuador Indians Get Bed Covering*
Prom Soft, Thick Bark of the
Oemajagua.
Blankets grow on trees in Ecnador,
and while the idea of an allwool,
fresh from the forest, hod covering
might give insomnia and a
backache to the child of civilization
who likes to snnggle comfortably under
several layers of down and wool,
the natives find it all right, as in
fact it is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he hunts up a doinajagua1
tree and cuts from it a five or six
foot section of the peculiarly soft.,
thick bark. This is dampened and
beaten until the flexibility of the
aheet is much increased. The rough,
gray exterior is next peeled ofT, and
the sheet dried in the sun. The result
is a blanket, soft, light and fairly

SHE DID NOT KNOW MOTHER
Teacher Received an Unexpected Roply
From Parent of Boy She
Had Punished.
Hoys will ho hoys, except, when
they are little wretches, and Tommy
was no exception.
He had broken one of the school
rules, and the teacher told him to tell
his mother about it, and also about
the punishment he had received.
This was foxy of teacher. She
thought mother might thrash him ]
again.
"Well, Tommy, did you tell your
mother about your hot! behavior yesterday,
and bow I punished you ?"
"Yes, miss," replied Tommy
quickly.
"Well, M-hat did your mother
say?" Mas teacher's next question.
"Said she'd like to wring your
neck," replied Tommy calmly.

sea so far us it is not the exclusive
property of any particular country.
The rule of international law is
that every country bordering on tin
sea has the exclusive sovereignty
over such sea to the exten1
of three miles from its shores
hut all beyond, not within thrct
miles of some olher country, is opet
or common to all ckmntries. The I
part of the sea within three miles'
distance is generally called the territorial
sea of Mie particular country,
or "mare clausum." The distinction
lias little effect on the right of
navigation, but art regards fishing it
is otherwise. Thus, foreign fishermen
have no right to fish within
three miles of the British coast without
a license from the crown, or unless
some special treaty has laid
down other arrangements.

The three eonimissiotiers governing

JUST THINK OF IT!
A Four Hundred Dollar Piano
Absolutely Given Away!
That advertising is now a science is
again demonstrated practically to the
buying public of this section by the
wonderful advertising system now employed
hy the enterprising business
house of McElhaney & Co., who are
going to give away ABSOLUTELY
FREE to some one of their customers
on August 1 the beautiful CLAXTON
PARLOR GRAND PIANO which is
now on exhibition at their store. The
Claxton sells for FOUR HUNDRED
DOLLARS and is a HIGH CLASS instrument
in every respect, GUARANTEED
by the makers for TEN YEARS.
JUST THINK OF IT1 A Four hundred
Dollar Piano to be GIVEN AWAY!
A few years ago, if a merchant was to
do such a thing he would be considered
a fit subject for an asylum, but conditions
have changed, yet in the face of
the enormous sum spent in advertising
the fact of McElhaney & Co. giving
away a $400 Piano is a stupendous un-1
dertaking and it clearly demonstrates |
their desire to be "always up to and a
little ahead" of the spirit of the times.
Every purchaser of $1.00 worth of
goods from any department of their
stole will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the Piano. The person
presenting the largest number of votes
to them on August 1 will receive the
Eiano absolutely free. No favors will
e shown and every person will be
given an equal chance. The reputation
enjoyed by McElhaney & Co. for
"square dealing" insures this fact.
We think the buying people will appreciate
this extremely liberal offer on the
part of McElhaney & Co. and we predict
a lively scramble for votes.?Adv.
