COLE'S Si?! RANGE
This range with its down draft (Hot
Blast) system of combustion, uses exactly the
proper amount of air. The fuel and fuel gases are burned.
The fuel kiiscs are not allowed to escape up the chimney as
in all bottom draft ranges. This means that you can burn
any available fuel, and also means not only a guaranteed fuel
saving, but a cler.ner, evener heat and a perfect baking oven.
This range is also built to last, with mal
leable iron in parts that are subject to breakage,
ami copper alloy iron in parts that are subject to rust. These
features are not found on any other range of this price.
It's a Jim Dandy all right ? come in and see it.

CLAIMS HONOR FOR GEORGIAN
tavaiinah 1few?p*per Assert* That
EHm Howe Wat Not Inventor
of the Sewing Machine.
The centenary of the birth of BUM
Howe, the modest Yankee who Invent
oil tho sewing muchlno, took pJace On
'June 0, There was no extended of
toryaneo of the day, observes liart
ford Courant. yet It was llowe who
took a good deal of the drudgery oUt
of the lives of millions of American
women. Ho also Increased the power
of his fellow men to produce garments
and other material that formerly
needed the patient handwork of Indi
viduals. I
Hut It Is Interesting to observe, in
connection With the anniversary, that
tho Savannah News undertakes the
rather hopeless task of trying to con
vince Its readers that It wasjiot Howe,
hut a Georgian, Francis It. Moulding,
who constructed and operated the first
sewing #jnn chine. This paper say*
that this man, a Presbyterian preach
er living In Liberty county, married a
Savannah girl and then began work on
a sewlnjr- machine In order that he
might save his fair wife much hard
work. Alleging this was long before
Howe patented his machine, and also
that Gouldfng never patented his, they
try to show his motives ^were purely
altruistic and not commercial.
It all sonuds good, but It will take
considerable "space" In the Georgia
newspapers to convince the world that
GouUling takes the prize.
MONKEY CHAIN CALLED MYTH
Recent Travelers In South America
. Explain Probable Origin of Story
Once Implicitly Believed.
An Interesting article by Prof. TC. W.
Gudger, in a recent Issue of Natural
History, deals with the time-honored
story on which most of us were
brought up that South American mon
keys are In tho habit of crossing alliga
tor-infested kfreams by linking their
tails and legs to form a living bridge.
Pictures of this feat onee figured ex
tensively In the school geographies,
and Professor Gudger reproduced such
a picture from a Fourth reader pub
lished as late as 1897. The story was
first told, so far as known, by the Jes
uit priest Padre Jose Aeosta in a
work published In 1589. Several later
writers have repeated the tale. The
first person to dispute Its veracity was
Baron Humboldt. Recently explor
ers of South America, when they men
tion the story at all, express skepti
cism. Finally, Messrs. Leo^W.yMlller
and George K. Cherrle of the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History, who
havo done ho much traveling and col
lecting in South America, have sug
gested* to Professor Gudger a playsl
ble origin for such tales. They think
that the story of the "monkey bridge"
lias come about through observation
of a procession of monkeys crossing
a ravine or stream on a pendent liana.

Wh? Americans Lost Contract.
"Speaking of Chinese railroads re
minds nie of the failure of an Amer
lean manufacturer to ohtuiu a con
tract for locomotives because his Eu
ropean competitors madt? a more care
ful study of Chinese peculiarities,*'
writes Lynn W. Meeklns in the Scien
tific American. "One locomotive was
ordered from each of the competing
companies. In every respect save one
the American . product was unmistak
ably superior. However, It had been
painted black before shipment from
the works, and on the way across the
Pacific It became more or less rusted.
"Its appearance, therefore, was far
less attractive than that of the Euro
pean .locomotives, which were painted
In accordance with Chinese preference,
and had been touched up by the manu
facturers' agents after arriving In
China. Don't get your cojors mixed |
if you want to sell gOods to the Chi
nese."
No Flattery Intended.
"Is that a portrait of your grand
mother when she was young?" asked
the awkward visitor. "How it resem
bles you, Miss Ugleton !"
"Now you only say that to flatter
me. Grandma was quite a beauty,
and everybody knows thai I ? ahem ?
I make no pretension* of that kind."
"I assure you. Miss Ugleton," ex
claimed the A. V\ "flattery Is far
from ray thoughts. The family re
semblance Is striking. I've often
known cases like that. There were
two sisters I knew when I was a boy.
They were wonderfully alike, like
that portrait's like you, and yet one
of them was as beautiful as a poet's
dream, and the other was dreadful ?
that Is, I mean, she wasn't at all ? or,
rather, she was lacking In that ? that
attractive quality, you know, that con
stitutes ? what a levely frame this por
trait has, eh?" ? Edinburgh Scotsman.
