There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly ]
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just I
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, '
and combines all the tonic atid strength
ening properties necessary to perma
neatly cure the habit. -
Accept no substitute, insist on having
the genuine Priikty Ash rsittei with tlie
large figure in*reu on the front label.’

EIGHT MILE.
We haven’t a phone to New
port but think we can make our
wants known via Balch. We are
going to have a line to connect
at Balch.
* Eight Mile is on a boom—a
large saw mill is on the way here
and the railroad is nearly in sight.
Vegetation is beginning to ap
pear in spite of the cold weather.
The most prominent feature in
Cow L,ake Township is the seven
teen candidates for road overseer,
all confident too. If you have
any business to atttend to you
have to go to the woods to avoid
them, for every one you meet
has to tell you why he is the man.
But Wednesday will teli the
story and I think it will be well
for the community.
We have some very enterpris
ingcitizensin Eight Mile, among
them being Brother James Big
ham, who is spreading the
gospel and fruit trees; our Post
master W. N. Nance is spread
ing the mud and ducks. He is
out from early till late; Dave
Tarwater, the tie inspector, and
Cv Meade, have a call to Ricn
wooas from two to six times a
week to look after the ties of
matrimony.
Arnit Gail has his troubles.
He is farming and batching, also
looking for a better half. I
think some of those Eight Mile
girls are loosing a very good
chance for a husband.
Among other enterprises is a
new doctor. Dr. Pierson of
Newport is going to cast his
anchor in Eight Mile Creek. We
wish him success.
Dr. Holloway is not impraving
very fast but is hopeful. *-Th i
neighbors are all very good to
sit up with him and the doctor is
never too poorly to crack a joke.
Mr. Bigham, the genial sales
man for Nance & Son has been
stricken with something like pal
sy of the tongue, at least it is
very shaky.
They had a pea hulling, wood
chopping and hog killing time at
Dr. Holloway’s Saturday. Cy
Meade, Carter Little, Arnit Gail,
Rob Bigham, Eph Benson and
others. But the most thrashing
was done at the dinner table.
Carter Little seemed to be mas
ter of ceremonies with Arnit a
good second.
Politics are at a high tension
here.
If this misses the waste basket
I will miss my predictions and
there will be one less corres
pondent from Eight Mile.
Wishing you much success, we
remain yours J

(rt^TIQUE FURNITURE AGAIN.
Bedroom Coffers of the Middle Agai
Are in Use Among the
Fashionables.
The feminine world is again taking to
the use of stately and artistic coffers or
chests, reports the Washington Star.
The dames of the middle ages, who
had no convenient bureaus in which to
I store their finery, were dependent upon
the coffer. Some of these historic chests
are marvels of delicate carving, in,ay
i work and painting. The greatest artists
of Italy did not disdain to decorate these
receptacles.
So valuable were some of the coffers
that a great lady was considered well
dowered if she received one on her mar
riage day. ft was placed in her cham
ber, with the great bedstead and a stool
or two, which were the sole furnishings.
Toward the close of the eighteenth cen
tury coffers were all but discarded. Un
til recently specimens were to be found
only in the museums or old castles and
manor houses of Europe.
Now the taste for antique furniture
Is bringing the coffers again into favor.
Two seen recently were made for the
state rooms of yachts. They are both
sarved and tinted.
One chest Is built of weathered oak,
deeply carved and then stained in green
and red. The design represents mer
maids sporting in the midst of an ocean
forest. Seaweeds and shells are the moat
conspicuous features In the picture.
The other coffer Is of oak, having a
gray finish. It is decorated with a burnt
design. Green and mauve stains are
used to touch up the figures. The sub
ject of these decorations is & scene at
the court of King Neptune.
Bedroom coffers are usually adorned
with flowers, birds, butterflies or some
allegorical or mythological scene. On*
email boudoir chest has representations
of Penelope among her maidens upon Its
panels. Through open windows the
sprays of the climbing roses are blown
Into the room and the flowers with the
garments of the women are brilliantly
colored.
Scriptural subjects were painted on
some of the antique chests, and these
have been well imitated by modern
workmen. The painted panel is set deep
la the wood and framed by a wide band
of molding. Carved figures, supporting
the corners, and elaborately designed
lids are features of the painted chests.
The most ancient designs are the
heavily carved ones. Those who are
versed in the history of furniture can
tell to a nicety the age of a chest by the
style of carving and quality of the wood.
The earlier Renaissance specimens are
almost priceless, and even copies of
them are expensive. In appearance they
are not unlike a coffin. There is usually
a richly carved base, the long shallow
body above it being slightly curved. The
lid projects over the body, and is less
deeply cut than the sides.
A more modern Renaissance chest,
and a style which is more frequently
copied, is embellished with small panels,
on which appear conventionalized foli
age designs in line work. The shading
is burnt into the Tvood.
Gilded and enameled coffers are also
to be seen, but they are eighteenth cen
tury work and represent the period of
decadence.
The modern household coffer is usual
ly lined with silk or an art fabric. Plenty
of tiny pockets are scattered over the
lining, and in these are placed sachet*
for perfuming the contents of the box.
The chests are convenient receptacles
for linen, bedclothes, draperies or gar
ments not to use.
Those who can afford a cedar chest
need have no fear of moths. Although
these ornamental boxes cost more than
trunks, they will last a lifetime. They
are distinctly decorative, and may be
made to fit any vacant niche in a small
room. The price varies with the style
ot decoration and wood. Some are com
paratively inexpensive, while others,
grod imitations of *he carved antique
chest or the gilded and enameled eight
eenth century masterpieces, are valued
*s ire most works of art.
HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
Green Sailor Boy "Wanted to See One,
and Ee Was Quickly Ac
commodated.
A waterspout is ona of the first things
u preen sailor boy wants to see. He has
read about it as one of the wonders of
the sea, and’it rouses his keenest curi
osity. He gets the old sailors to promise
lo call him when one is sighted. They
promise, winking stealthily at each oth
er, relates an exchange.
The ship gets down into tropical wa
ters, and the boy is told that a water
spout may come along almost at any
time.
One night he la awakened suddenly.
Ad old sailor shakes him.
“Come on! Hurry up, young feller;
there’s a waterspout on the starboard
bow bearing right down on us."
The boy hastens up the companion
way without waiting to Urea*, and u
he darts out on deck ne is tnrown crown
by a mass of water descending on him
like a wet mountain. He struggles to
his feat, gasping, spattering:
"Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?”
The sailors are around him roaring.
Then he looks up above the companion
way and sees an empty hogshead. Having
seen and felt the waterspout, he descends
bo his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns
in. Next time waterspouts in great num
bers may be reported on both bows, but
he will have no particular desire to ob
serve them.
