The highest price that has been paid for cotton in 45 years marks the end of 1916, Most of us can’t remember as far bi.ck as 45 years ago but a few of us who do, can summon a vision of linsey-woolsey days when folks sheared their own sheeD, had the wool carded and spun, the thread reeled into skeins and woven into cloth which made clothing for boys and girls and grown ups. Everybody was \in fashion” then who was comfortably wrapped in a warm linsey-woolsey. To social gath erings—whether wood choppings, corn :s^nckings, house raisings, \hoe downs,” prayer meetings or festivities p£:'T at which the table \groaned” under the \sumptuous repast”—everybody |£y cameTclad in the fuzzy woolsey. Tal- ! • > . low candles or a coon grease wicker had not been replaced with Tungstons I' and Mazdas. A dim light in the - corner and on the stairways were all that were needed. Remember them, those days when i f fun went ’longside of linsey-woolsey? £-f —Miles City American. Youth vs. Age The work of testing the efficiency of men between the ages of 45 and 65 alongside of an equal number of young men has been commenced in Chicago by a committee of 15 em ployers recently organized with Ben jaman J. Rosenthal, a prominent cap italist, at its head. The committee was organized pri marily to \upset the falacious theory that men between the ages of 45 and 65 are fit only for the scrap heaD. If Henry Ford is sincere in wanting to do the greatest good to the greatest number, says the Boston .Transcript, he will put another spring under the back seat. £ •• ; rj r- F The Grand Total One of the kindliest and most ob serving of American humorists (and humanists)—of course we mean H. C. Bunner—years ago spoke of \the little duties of a woman’s life—those little duties which would distress wo men less could they but see the grand total and estimate the value of it.” That was written in the days before the modern so-called \restlessness” of women set some of (hem searching for all sorts of short-cut paths avoiding the unpleasant things of life. One can never achieve freedom from gall ing details without first mastering de tails, never can reach a goal without first traversing the distance between oneself and that goal: facts as inexor able for man as for won^an. Yet even if this were not so, no one need be discouraged by the limitations of \lit tle duties.” The pyramids—built stone by stone—are just as lofty and enduring as if they had somehow sprung into being ready-made.—Col liers. K Ain’t It the Truth The married man starts out as a bridegroom, but soon gets over it. This is one aspect in which man is a failure. There would no doubt be more happiness in the home if the bridegroom would not turn sour three months after the marriage ceremony. The trouble with the average bride groom is that he cools off too soon. How often do we see a blushing Felicitous Coincidence. Years ago at a banquet g vo.i in celc brat ion of the completion of tiie t hi pago board of trade building Mayor Harrison, the elder, made a flower’ speech. In the course of which be said. “I am proud of the fact that 1 wa.- born in the year that the locomotive was invented.” The next address was made by Em ery Storys, nationally celebrated for his w it Mr. Storrs said, “I agree with Maydr Harrison in declaring it a fe licitous coincidence that he and the locomotive were born the same year, for both have been blowing oif steam ever since.”—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tel egraph. Did He Get Off? The famous Liddell, who, with Scott, compiled Liddell and Scott’s lexicon, was dean of Christchurch college, Ox ford. It was whispered In regard to the lexicon that Liddell provided the money and Se^tt the brains. A young undergraduate was halo’d before the dean for some misdemeanor. “I hear, Mr. ---- , that you have a pretty wit for imprpmptu verse,” said the dean. “If you will write oue on the lexicon I will let you off.” The young man thought a moment and then said: T h e r e ’ s a lexicon w r itten by Liddell and Scott. Som e o f It’s good, and some o f It’ s not. T h e part that Is good was written by Scott T h e p a r t that w a s w ritten by Liddell is rot. Complete Recovery. Canfield’s restaurant, adjoining the famous gambling house in Saratoga bad in its prime the reputation of be ing the highest priced restaurant in the world. Its patrons Included sport ing men and gamblers. If tfiey won they could afford to pay the prices; if they lost there were other eating houses. Canfield was parading the veranda one Sunday morning after his gnmb ing house had\ suffered one of the biggest 1 losses of its history | ' While be was parading Tex Orenet ’ a San Antonio sportiHg man. c: me up the walk. “Well. bos,s.” be said, with mock so licitude. “they tell me the boys trim med the faro bank last night.” “They did,” answered Canfield. \The house closed $43,000 loser ” “Ob, that'll be all right.” Orenet flashed. “I’m going In now to buy half a eanteloupe.”—New York World. V- r r f K s: bridegroom with spreading ears start off on the honeymoon holding her hands all the way down to the station, and then on returning home convert himself into a block of channel ice and forget to kiss the wife except when she gives you a birthday present. If married men were more regular and impulsive in the matter of oscula tion the divorce docket would be stripped as clean as the chicken bones at a church supper.—Howard L. Rann in \Rann-dom Reels.” A Diplomatic Satire. The king of Madngao. being engaged in a dispute with rlre~lt1ng~Df~lktrne=- gascar, wrote him as follows: “Before proceeding further in this matter I demand the recall of your minister from my capital.” Greatly enraged by this Impossible demand, the king of Bomegascar re plied • • “1 shall not recall my minister Moreover, if yoa do not immediately retract your demand 1 shall withdraw him.\ This threat so terrified the king of Madagao that In hastening to comply he fell over his own feet, breaking the Third Commandment.—From “The Col lected Works of Ambrose Bierce.” r - ! Ï- £ Have You Tried the CORNER RESTAURANT People are saying every day that it’s a nice place to eat! It*has a Bakery in connec tion and is supplying a growing list of Customers with . Bread, Cakes and Pastry i * of all kinds. *' # CITY BAKERY & RESTAURANT OPEN DAY AND NIGHT On the corner and on the square Last week the \Country Store” at the Owego theatre .drew a large audi ence. Lots of prizes were given away, also.-:: But some of the num bers called off at first found no owners, although they, were in the audience. Yes, the Silent Observer was there but not lucky enough to draw a prize, One number in particular attracted at tention. No, we are not saying just wh^t the prize was, but it turned out to Be a piece of men’s wearing ap parel. The lucky number was held by one of two bachelor maids, but neither had nerve enough to go for ward and claim it. The number was. called repeatedly early in the game, but no answer. A small boy ans wered to the second number and sold, his prize for six bits after the show. Bashfulness robbed some man of a useful Christmas present. :o: Nearly every young man in town, and older oijes as well, had a pressing date one night last week. Why? It all came about through three sweet young ladies visiting our city soliciting what it was.” And yet the town voted «/ Professional Cards - - J . i , - V • wet by small subscriptions for a magazine. All in all, 160 feller the talk, which meant $160. Yes, some of the \old duffers” fell, too. When an easy mark was found they would ask if there were any more in town as nice as you.” Then a date would follow for the show, but not to be filled. One old jald head is said to have proposed to the most handsome of the trio, al though he has one foot in the gwive already. She is thinking the matter over. Also some of the subscribers are wondering if they will ever see the magazine they subscribed for, as thé only receipt they have is a mere blank et form, like any stationery store car ries in stock. Easy money? I guess yes. :o: A Plevna man tells a good story of a visit he made to Baker last week. In fact it is hard to believe. Accord ing to his story he attended to busi ness first. Before going to dinner he decided he wanted an appetizer and asked an acquaintance \if he wouldn’t join him in a little tickler.” To use his own expression, \he didn’t know majority.’ :o: , Get your money ready for the gas map. He will soon be around to read your gas meter and> then you can pay your bill. Forty cents a thousand, too. Suffering Cats! \Pay all the expenses in a year,” remarked one man in the barber shop Saturday night. Already some of the citizens of the south side are talking of boring a well of their own and supplying their neighbors with \cheap” fuel. You paycash for coal and cash for gas. Now they are wondering which is the cheaper. :o: Possibly the most attractive window display in the city for its simplicity, is that of the Midland Hardware Com pany. Many a small hoy has stopped before it and looked longingly. A note to Santa Clause from a little girl, and addressed in care of that firm says: \Please Santa Clause, I want a sled and a pair of skates put in my stock ing.” Rather a large stocking to hold all that. o------------------------ A community Christmas tree. Yes, dear reader, we are going to have one. They say it’s going to be a \humdinger too. From all ac counts it will be held in the Opera House. Committees have been ap pointed to secure ways and means to give every boy ¿nd girl in Baker and vicinity candy, nuts, apples, etc., be sides a free entertainment by the pub lic school pupils. Everyone knows it takes hard work and some \kale” to do this. So the best way for every man in Baker to do is to carry some change in his jeans. If three girls from outside of town can come here “and raise $160 for magazine subscrip tions in half a day, what can half a dozen of our own good looking girls do? You don’t need to try to flirt with them, for they all know you and see you every day. Then again, they say you can’t give or receive presents from the tree. We know that will be a hard blow to some. But every ’dog has his day. That won’t deter you from turning in and helping every child in the vicinity to have a Merry Christmas. _____________ Live Stock N Real Estate ~ r Lifetime Experience ! 1 Dates made at First National Baltic, Baker, Mont.- Col.
