sata bet nae | SUNBEAMS| Here is the latest story of the dis- covery of the U.S. by Columbus as I have heard” it:— “Columbus Was walking down the street one day when he met Queen Isabelle coming along in a ‘new automobile.’ She said Hello Clum and he said ‘Howdy Bella.’ (You see the Queen and Columbus were on pretty intimate terms—consid- erable scandal attached to them at one time), ‘Clum’ said, Bella I think if I had a few ships I would go out and discover the U. S$. She took him into the ‘Wal- dorf Castoria’ and bought him a couple of ‘schooners’ and he sailed away. He sailed for years and years. One day the man in the look-out yelled IT see land ahead. ©, no, said Columbus, that’s not real land, that’s a busted real estate boom, however, he said | will investigate. So he went down in the basement of the ship. Hitehed up a pair of mules and drove ashore. When he got ashore the beach was lined with Indians. Tach dndian had ona pair of rubber boots. They were all dressed in different kinds of skins but most of them just had on their ‘bare skins’. One old fellow was dressed a little better (being a chief). He had a ‘big ~ feather duster stuek up his back, He held out his hand and said is this Columbus? Columbus. said yes, did you get) my ‘macaroni wireless?’ The chief said we did by ‘telephone’ and we are ready to be discovered.”’ (That's all ex- cept that Columbus then went ov- er into Ohio apd [ think Columbus is in Ohio yet.)

It seems that some over-jealous folks (Suffragettes T judge) are kieking because the ‘lady’? on the recent issue of the 25-cent piece is ‘‘seantily'’ clad. They say it is ‘‘demoralizing”’ and ‘suggestive,’ The men don't say anything about it.

I can't see anything wrong about it unless it is a ‘‘scareity’’ of two- hit coins. It’s a case of ** Evil to} him who evil thinketh.”” Consis- | teney, thou art a rare jewel in-} deed.

Whoever it was is a friend indeed and I thank him (or her as the ease may be) and would like to pay them for their kind- ness. Some folks wonder why I call this ‘Peaceful Valley.”’ [tI is not because the people are more will- ing to give than to take (most of us take more than we can ever give). But the reason for the name? O, it’s because the folks of Peaceful Valley are so much like the ‘‘Death of a Christian.”’ They always go ‘‘slow and easy.” —Simple? Yes, seems like any- one could have guessed it.

Every Saturday except three in the last thirty years William F. Edwards has brought butter to town to sell at Louisiana. Since January, 1887, when Mr. Edwards first began his marketing about forty thousand pounds of butter has been delivered by him to his customers. Two of the three Sat- urdays he missed on account of illness. The other Saturday was when he tried another market. He started in the butter business with a capital stock of one cow borrowed from a neighbor. A sharp debate between repub- lican and democratic leaders of the house marked the engross- ment Thursday of a bill to include Henry and Vernon counties with- in the jurisdiction of the Spring- field court of appeals.
