From a private letter from
Fayetteville, we learn that Lon

tenant in the University Cadet
C ps at Fayetteville. Lon is
one of New.>ot’s brightest

lat him on this new honor, re

Joseph M. Berger and A.

fol at Jonesboro, returning
Mo day. Delayed trains pre
v.uted connections, and they tay
they had about four hours’ sleep
out of forty-s i lit, so if the two

will know they are the worse for

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Oats an Immense Amount of Pleasure
from Unexpected Sources—A
Clotlies-Beel Comedy.
The Italian immigrant has t
happy gift of extracting pleasure
from unexpected sources, so man/
commonplace objects of his new
home are yet wonders to him. A
woman who lives iu a pretty su
burban residence, the long garden
•jf which runs back to a small
court upon which a row of tene
ment houses lias just been erect
ed. discovered this recently when
die found a group of dark-eyed,
dirty little boys dancing ecstat
ically on (he platform of her
clothes dryer.
They were cheering on a daring
comrade, who was clinging to the
outer cross-bar of the reel, relates
the Youth’s Companion. One of
ids mates bad set it spinning, and
the other boy was dizzily gyrat
ing aloft, mingling his excited
... squeals of joy with the creaks and
groans of the overburdened ma
rhine. Even as she looked there
was an ominous snap, and the fly
ing cherub came suddenly to earth
at her feet, where he sat softly
rubbing himself and staring up at
her, too dazed to cry. For the sake
of their own youthful bones she
thought it a case for severity, and
began to scold the intrudprs as
sternly as she knew how, conclud
ing father helplessly with an im
patient, “Whatever made you do
such A silly thing, anyhow? An
swer me, can’t you?”
“Bullafuna, signorina!” whim*
j ered the fallen one. And it was
not until the remark waB trans
lated by an Irish youngster, who
v/a« peeping through the fence,
(hat she learned what the Italian
i id meant.
“Sure, he says it’s bully fun,”
(lie Irish boy interpreted.
Arguments and remonstrance*
quite failed to overcome the dan
gerous fascination of such a de»
* ifhtful gymnastic apparatus. The
woman had finally to take it down
and resort to the ancient and in
convenient clothes-line instead, j
A far funnier case of perverted
entertainment occurred lately in i
8 Connecticut town in which the
drawbridge tender complained to
tlie police that the Italian resi
ding* had fallen into the habit of
'^^tng on the draw as if it were a
marry go round.
“Sometimes there’s as many as
5< 9 of them,” he complained; “so
many that the draw won’t work
properly, and it most kills me try
in* to turn the crank. When J
holler at them to get off, they just
holler back, and don’t budge. They
ai ;n’t ugly, but they won’t mind.
They all come — mothers and
babies, fellows and girls, and
sometimes they bring a hurdy
g» and dance while the bridge
sv. ings round. It’s fun for them,
bet it’s death to me. It’s got to
bo stopped or I’ll resign. Th*
city didn’t hire me to run a whirl!

INDEPENDENT’S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with this paper be eli
rriKln fn vnfo
I o-— --
Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s worth
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
j than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
1 be sold at this office.
I Third—All votes must be sent
j to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of
that afternoon will contain the
total of the several candidates
and the public will thus be kept
i informed of the voting each day.
J Fourth—A committee of three
good business men will be select
! ed to canvass the ballots the
; morning of Dec. 24 and announce
1 the winner. All ballots must be
1 deposited at this office by 11 a.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
J Read the rules carefully.
NOTICE TO
FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
After December 1, 1904, the
Independent wiil be sent outside
of Jackson county only on sub
scriptions paid in advance, and
will be^Jstopped upon the expira
tion of the time for which they
are paid.
Subscribers will be notified two
weeks prior to the expiration of
their subscription, and prompt
renewals will cause no skips in
receiving the’paper.
Our outside mailing list has
reached those proportions which
make this step necessary to pro
tect ourselves, and we feel that
the change will not be objection
able, but rather„ in accordance
with the wishes of our outside
readers,
The Independent* has only one
subscription 'price, $1.00, a year
for the Weekly, and 40 cents per
month for the Daily, but the
postal charge for papers to out
side addresses, warrants us in
requiring these subscriptions to
be paid in advance.
This does not apply to any
postoffice in Jackson county, or
such towns as Bradford, Alicia,
Minturn, Newark, in closely con
| tiguous territory.

cleaning and pressing shop to the
newly remodeled building oppo

Suffering
Will Not Help Your
' Disease, but Will ,
Weaken Your
Nerves.
Folks who think it ia better to bear
pain than soothe it—are wrong.
Old-fashioned doctors used to say It
was better, because they had nothing
with which to ease pain but dangerous,
heart-paralyzing drugs.
But now, that a safe remedy has
been found, Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills,
It is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be
gained but weakened nerves.
A safe rule to remember is: When
In pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
This will soothe your quivering nerves.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain
by restoring the natural secretions, in
which they differ from opium and sim-.
liar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain
by checking the action of the glands.
They are sure and harmless, and are
the latest medical treatment for the
cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache,
Rheumatism, Dizziness, Toothache,
Stomachache, Menstrual (Monthly)
Pains. Also nerve irritations like Sea
Sickness, Car-Sickness, Sleeplessness,
Indigestion, etc.
Pleasant to take, quick in results.
*T have used Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pafn
Pills for sick, nervous headache, and
have received the best results. I hear
tily recommend their curative proper
ties, for they are successful.”—REV.
