Clipping off the end of a routing snore, "Farmer B bounded out on the bedroom floor, And the midnieht voice was heard no more.

When he went to water his milk next day, The midnight voice seemed again to say, As he jumped away with panting breath, " Your best cow, neighbor, is choking to death!"

They smile, and ask, as thoy kindly bow, " How'getteth along the best cow now!" ^ "Iliad all adventure," lie said; "I was the hero of a strange story in a ride by express." Maiy bent forward to listen—Tom clasped her hand in his own. Mr. Brand sat opposite them, interested by the speaker's manner, as he began : '"When I got tbe check, I had an idea that all might not be so well, so, to make sure, I presented it at the banker's.

The train had come in, but his messenger had not returned, and the merchant Was troubled by a vague sort of doubt, which haunted him in spite of his faith ,in"*_ake.

I had met him often at th- . e course, in billiard- rooms, andiii . :"er places more or less respectable. "Now, he was changing a check for some petty amount, and was, evidently, astonished by the immensity of the order I had presented. I left the bank with my pocket-book full of notes, and found that I had lost the train. The next would be the night express, so I strolled into a billiard-room. A man is just as safe with a fortune in hia pocket as if penniless, so that he is wise enough to hold his tongue. There was some clever play going on, and I stood watching the players till some one challenged me to have a game. If I have one special vanity, it is my science with the, cue • I accepted, and, as I did so, a strange feeling, which had been growing upon me, took a sudden turn which startled me. My challenger was the man whom I had noticed at the banker's. There was nothing strange in the fact of his being in the room,, one of his favorite resorts, but I was Assessed by the vague shadow of a single |d®a. I had read somewhere of a man berng followed and plundered in a train, ancL*somehow I associated the story with the "mail before me. It was the first time 1 Had ever paid him any particular attention, but I gave him full observation now. The more I looked at him the less I liked him. He was handsome, gentlemanly, with a fair form and elegant figure, full of suppleness and strength. His manner was singularly unassuming, his face frank and genial, but by looking closely at him you could see something sinister-looking in the depth and softness of his eyes. I never liked a stranger to be affable and prepossessing, and my friend was the very pink of affability and grace. "We played for an hour with alternating success; he was an amusing companion, well-informed, and had traveled; but I was shy of conversation. I left him, and, still having some time to spare, went to the Temple. .- , "When, at" the expiration of some thirty or forty minutes, I emerged into "Fleet street, almost the first person upon.whom ■7^jS§2Q-"i"Al^-•-",7-'*-^ *&7 l^rSe p_"*-f»"to*aipt-Aft: JS""\> m_oE?Mifs^siao:i"-_rer own "sweeT'fa'ce was anxious, and there was a tremor in the music of her voice as she said : " Do you think he will be here tonight, dear papa?" "I hope so, Mary; but it is very late." *-**'*& there no other train ?" " Only the night express, and that does not stop except at the central stations." "Perhaps he will come, papa; he would nob mind coming ten miles, even if he had to walk." "He should not have missed the train," said Mr. Brand, sternly; "punctuality is an imperative duty with men of business." "But, papa, something may have occurred-to detain him." " Nothing should detain a man who has given his word." The fair pleader was silenced; her faSter was angry, and, knowing his strictness of principle, and how inveterate was his dislike to any breach of discipline or duty, she did not venture to speak again. The time dragged slowly on; Mr. Brand continued his restless walk, and Mary sat subdued and quiet, watching him. She saw that he was listening as the night express went whirling by, and from the depths of her heart there went up a prayer that Lake would come safely home. The girl loved him, would have staked her life on his truth, and knew that he was not beyond his time through any weakness or wrong. Two slow, weary hours passed. Mr. Brand was reading the commercial news; but, for the first time in his life, it did not interest him; he was thinking of the young clerk, and the heavy sum of money that would be in his "possession should the London firm have paid him. And Mary, reading her father's countenance, felt chilled and pained by the slur cast on her lover's honesty by his suspicions—her every thought was u denial to his doubts, and, as the rapid clatter of a horse's feet rang out, she ran to the window. "Look!" she said, dashing the curtains aside with eager hands; "look, papa, I said he would coir e—I knew he would." The merchant's stern features relaxed with a smile of pleasure; he was not emotional or demonstrative, but his daughter's gladness pleased him. There was a few moments of expectancy, and then Tom Lake came in. He went straight to Mr. Brand, only noticing with a bow the lovely face whose glance thrilled his soul. " They have paid," he said quietly, as he placed a thick pocket-book in the merchant's hand, " but I think we were only just in time." "Indeed!" "There was a consultation at the banker's before I could get cash for the check," " Do you think they will break ?" "Hopelessly. They have given me an immense order, but it would not be wise to forward the goods." "You did not hint that we had the slightest fear ?" " No, but I was glad to get the money; £12,000 would have been a heavy loss"" " It would have done me serious injury just now." "Andyit," said Tom, gravely, "this morning tiie odds were considerably against it ever reaching you." "How?" Tom took two chairs, placed them side by side near the fire, led Mary to one, and seated himself in the other. -_e.had done his duty as the merchant's clerk, and was now Mr. Brand's prospective soa-ia-law and partaei*. *^w_aHa«io? ' ' " """' f^-rrvirrm^Z Ittiought there was something more than a mere coincidence in this second meeting since we stood together at the banker's. He was in a cigar-shop opposite. "Not 100 yards from the Temple gate stood a man whom I recognized with a very welcome feeling. It was George Vixen, the detective. He was fashionably dressed and looked an aristocrat of the first water. I went up, and, greeting him as I should an old familiar friend, held out my hand and said: " Come and drink a glass of wine with me; I have something to say." He shook hands in the most natural way possible. I took his arm, and we entered the public bar of an adjacent hotel. I told him of my suspicion, told him of the sum in my possession, and of the journey I had to perform by rail. I saw that, watching through the glass of the door, he was taking a mental photograph of the two men. " They mean business," said Vixen, quietly, " bat I snail be with you. We must part at the door, or they will see that we have scented the game." I said, "how will you tion touched on jewelry. He drew a showy ring from his finger, telling me it was a curious piece of workmanship, having a secret spring, which he said I could not discover. I took it, searched it in vain for a spring, then, returning it to him, it dropped and rolled under my feet. I stooped to pick it up, and so did he, but in that moment, while my head was down, he had me tightly by the throat, and threw me to the carriage floor. His confederate was upon me in an instant. I could scarcely breathe, and could not struggle, for a heavy knee.was upon my chest, and two strong, brutal hands were crushing the life from my throat. _ Though the horror of the situation did not last a minute, it seemed an eternity to me. I felt the ruffians' hands searchiog for the -pocket-book, and I strained desperately for a chance of resistance. Their work was nearly done. Cramped in that small space, I was powerless, and the veins in my throat and head were swelling like sinuous bars, when the old gentleman in the corner awoke and came to my assistance. I heard a low whirr of some weapon in its descent, and my first assailant reeled from me, stunned. Then the old gentleman, with a strength and rapidity of action wonderful to see in a person of his age, seized tlie scoundrel, lifted him away, and pushed him down on a seat. There was a brief struggle, and then I heard a sharp click—scoundrel the second had a pair of handcuffs on his wrists. "They were more prompt than I expected," said the old gentleman, removing his woolen comforter, with which he fastened my first assailant's hands behind him, " and a railway carriage does not afford much scope for a struggle?" The pocket-book was safe. The ruffians were securely bound, and the old gentleman, who, without his spectacles and muffler, stood out in bold and pleasant relief as the detective, kept guard over them. At the station they were handed over into the custody of the police. I was all right by that time. Vixen rode with me as far as the hotel nearest here, and tomorrow he will call to see if I am any the worse for my ride by express. The contents of the pocket-book were Mary's bridal dowry.

He left me. I had no fear now, knowing him to be a clever and determined fellow.- Taking a casual glance across the road, I saw my man with his companion. It was quite evident that they were tracking me, though I lost sight of them before reacting Ot. Paul's. I strolled along the churchyard, wandering nearly to Islington, then went through the city again before I made for the station; "my acquaintance of the billiard-room did not come in sight, though I kept well on the alert. I took my ticket, lingering almost to the moment of starting before I entered the carriage, but my man did not appear. Two men were in the compartment "with me. I could not see the face of one, and the other was a stranger. The bell rang. The guard had just time to put a bewildered old gentleman iu by my side, and we were off. The man whose fase I had not seen, turned toward me. I could hardly repress an exclamation. There was no mistaking that frank, genial countenance, nor the lurking devil in those eyes, whose softness was so sinister. He had me then at last. Vixen had broken his promise, and I was left to travel that perilous journey alone, with the man who had followed me so skillfully, another who might be his confederate, and an old gentleman who, after grumbling out his indignation against all railway servants and locomotive traveling in general, was fast asleep in the corner. That the intentions of the billiard- play & were bad were manifested by the - fact of his having assumed a false iuus- tache and beard. They added to the beauty of his face, but left to his eyes that sleepy, cruel glitter that is characteristic of the Asiatic. 'He- spoke to me, remarked "the. oddity of our being traveling companions, and grew unpleasantly familiar. I answered him, not wishing to appear churlish or afraid, knowing that I conld trust something to my own strength, should tfie worst come. "We. had made the lasif stoppage, and were rolling swiftly through the gloom, wk©»p -amoBg ofe©;? topiegj qus eo-aYSSsa- A Weim"-!"^^^ Last week a buster named Jacob Far- quarson, while passing through the forest between White Pish lake and Black Trout lake, near the headwaters of the Madawaska river, encountered a puma, or American panther. "While looking at the remains of a large upland cariboo he heard a noise at some distance off among the tree-tops. Shortly after the sounds were repeated, and on looking up he saw a large animal leaping from tree to tree toward the spot were he stood. He was armed with a Ballard rifle, and as soon as the beast came near enough he fired. The brute sprung from the tree directlj at him. In the meantime the hunter had rapidly reloaded, and, having jumped aside and behind a large pine before ihe infuriated animal could recover for- a second spring, he gave it another bullet. Both shots had taken effect, as it was afterward discovered, but neither in a vital part. After the second shot the puma turned and darted with a roar at the hunter, who drew a long keen-edged hunting knife, and with his back against a tree awaited Ms enemy. The enraged animal sprung at him and fastened its long, curved claws into his shoulder. He drove the knife repeatedly to the hilt into its breast. Both came to the ground together, but the struggle did not last long, for the huge animal, weakened from the loss of blood from tiie bullets and knife of Par- quarson, soon turned over dead. The animal, which is rare in Canada now, was one of the largest size, measuring 9 feet from the nose to the extremity of the tail.—Ottawa (Can.) Free, Press, A Snake Ciiarming an Alligator. At the plantation of Mr. Turner, near Lake City, Pla., a most singular scene occurred—the charming of a thirteen- foot alligator by a rattlesnake. The snake first saw the alligator, and, with his rattles, attracted the latter's attention. Then began the charming process, which lasted fully half an hour. The alligator at first turned his head once or twice, but was immediately called to order by the rattles of the snake. Toward the end of the half- hour, with fixed eyes, the alligator moved slowly toward, his deadly enemy until "within striking distance, when the snake curled himself more compactly, and, with all the strength he could muster, struck the alligator. Por a moment the alligator shook tremulously, and then, as if by magic, made a semi-circling backward movement peculiar to the species, and brought his tail down upon the snake with fatal effect.—Lake City (Fla.) Beporter. An Astounding Eeveiation* Troy Dye, public administrator of Sacramento county, has made a full confession concerning the recent murder of a Mr. Tullis, on Grand island. He confesses to having instigated the murder for the purpose of getting control of the estate of the deceased. He implicates as the perpetrator of the deed, Edward Anderson, a Swede, formerly in his employ, and another party, name not yet ascertained. Anderson has also made a confession, corroborating that, of Dye. Anderson was to receive $6,000 for the job. They had previously tried to kill Tuliis by poison. They had also discussed the murder of other citizens. The details are replete with cold-blooded cruelty. Dye has heretofore borne a good reputation in the community, and his connection with the affair has created the utmost surprise and excitement. —ban Francisco telegram.

WOKKING OKI? SICKNESS. It is a mistake to suppose one can work off sickness. If you feel ii), favor your body, and take the required rest which nature demands. Don't eat without appetite. Your stomach will indicate when it is time to take food, and then it will be prepared to digest it. "FOR THE TOOTHACHE. Tlie application of the following remedy for the toothache is said to be efficacious in tiie most desperate cases, provided it be not connected with rheumatism: Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, two drachms; nitrous spirits of ether, seven drachms; mix them well and apply them to the tooth. TO STOP BBiSEDINa AT THE NOSE. The best remedy for bleeding at the nose, as given by Dr. Gibson in one of his lectures, is the vigorous motion of the jaws, as if in the act of mastication. In the case of a child, a wad of paper should be blaced in its mouth, and the child instructed to chew it hard. It is the motion of the jaws that stops the flow of blood. This remedy is so very simple that many will feel inclined to laugh at it, but it has never been known to fail in a single instance, or even in very severe cases. ONE WAV. OS E"OB__IN<i A SICK-BOOM. I would like to mention to any among your readers who have charge of invalids or delicate children, or who are not able to go out during the hot weather, that the air of the room may be much improved by hanging thick towels dipped in cold water, w&. a, little vinegar added, to the open window-sashj so that the. air pass BARING JttieHWAYfflE^o secession, and procuring his owii political ruin. The expected reward did not some in '56. The National Democratic Convention nominated Buchanan instead of Douglas for the Presidency. A breach soon followed the incoming of the administration. " I begt you to remember," said old Buck to Douglas in the outset of this, "the fate of Talmadge and Eives." "Sir," said the Little Giant with naive defiance, "I beg you to remember that Gen. Jackson is dead." Prom that moment the battle raged. In '58 Douglas had to fight both the Bepublicans and the administration, with Lincoln leading the Bepublieans. He carried the day, but the victory was dearly bought. The administration forces, augmented bjr the secession element in the South, produced the fatal split at Baltimore, preparing the way for a Democratic defeatand the disruption of the Union. Amid the crash DonglaB went down, a diappointed, brokenhearted man, who aad fought a great but unequal matci, losing all. He reached his home, vhere he died early in the spring of '61. His career was a failure. Brief and brilliant, its mark yas effaced in blood. It will live in histoy only as a half-told tale. A more genial nan than Douglas never lived. His camcity for both work and play was boundbss. An illustrative story, bearing uponbhis point, is told of his seating himself u the lap of Beverly Tucker on a certan occasion, and exclaiming, in his imialsive way, "Bev, old boy, I love you.' " Douglas," says Tucker, "will yot always love me?" "Yes," says Dougls, "Twill." "But," persisted Tucker, -will you love me when you get to be President ?" " If I don't, may I be !"' says Douglas. " "What do you wafi me to do for you ?" " "Well," says Tuckc, " when you get to be President, all I "-ant you to do for me is to pick some ubiic place, and put your arm around w neck, just as you are doing now, ancbaM me Bev /" As a debater i1 tiie Senate Douglas never had a suprior. Always ready, always strong in th possession and use of facts—the chie ingredients to successful disputatia—always good-humored and self-poiessed, he was "never beaten. As a stuip-speaker he was copious, simple, luci; a vein of homely humor running thxagh his serious, argumentative style. His voice was commanding and meldous. His presence, notwithstanding b stumpy figure, did not lack impressnut. He held a crowd excellently wsll, auging its true inwardness with nevr-f ailing acumen, and hitting it with rariact. in money matt© he was thriftless. He had a liberal srit and a generous nature, and, tho>h he made many profitable investnnts, he could never save, and was g©rally hard-pressed. He was not so potat a party leader as Morton, whose sterity made him at times irresistible. But he was more ardently loved byhfollowers.

The conductor was then at the rear of the train, and he observed four men enter and take seats in the smoking-car. As soon as the train began backing he hurried forward to speak to the engineer, who was a new man, and tell him not to stop at the junction on repassing it. Having done this he returned to take up the fares. As he closed the door of the express car and prepared to step across tq the smoking-car, he found himself confronted by the muzzles of three cocked revolvers, and the determined faces of as many men standing on the platform of the smoking-car. No time for retreat or reflection was given by the owners Of the revolvers. " Hold up your hands !" was the immediate greeting which he received from the one in advance, given in a harsh but low voice and accompanied by an aggressive forward movement, which showed that they intended to permit no trifling. Brown held up his hands, and held them up without any unnecessary delay. The leader was , over six feet in height, heavy built, probably weighing nearly two hundred pounds, and the conductor perceived that to- make any resistance would make matters only worse. The next command was equally brief and equally to the point: " Turn round! Now open the door !" The conductor opened the door, entered the car, and-tlie party followed, him inside.- The brakeman and express messenger-were within and were instantly covered by the revolvers of the two men who had not spoken, the tall man still giving his individual attention to the conductor. The robbers were alert and determined and. held every advantage. The chance of aid from the engine or smoking car was almost no chance at all. Even the sound of a shot would have remained almost unnoticed, for the train wasnow running toward Kansas City at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The time had come for the fourth robber to play his part, and he now eutered.; Like his companions he carriedin his hand a cocked revolver, and wore a slouched hat which partly • hid his features. The" eustoiaary dis-; guise of a mask appears to have been thought unnecessary. No tame was lost by the last arrival in proceeding with his especial work.

A simple remedy for weak eyes is recommended as follows or sore Get a 5-cent cake of elder flowers at the druggist's, and steep in one gill of soft water —it must be steeped in bright tin or earthenware ; strain nicely, and then add three drops laudanum; bottle it tight, and keep in a cool place; then use it as a wash, letting some of it get in the eyes. Poliow this, and relief is certain. If the eyes are painful or much sore, make small, soft compresses, wet in the mixture, and bind over the eyes at night. I can warrant the above as harmless and sure, having tried it in a number of cases where other skill and remedies had utterly failed. If the eyes are badly inflamed, use it very freely; and a tea made of elder flowers, and drank, will help cleanse the blood. Pure rock salt and water will strengthen your weak eyes if you bathe them daily in it. I would earnestly advise you to avoid mixtures or washes containing mineral or other poisons.—Doctor. WHEN TO BATHE. According to a medical journal, bathing should always be avoided under the following circumstances, viz.: "Within two hours after a meal; when exhausted by fatigue or any other cause; when the body is cooling after perspiration^—the bath to be taken when the body is warm, provided no time is lost in getting into the water. Bathing in the open air should be avoided altogether, if, after having been in the water a short time, there is a sense oi chilliness, with numbness of the hands and feet. Vigorous and strong persons may bathe early in the morning, on an empty stomach, but young persons and those who are weak are safer in bathing three hours after a meal, the best time for such a bath being two or three hours after breakfast. Those who are subject to attacks of giddiness and faintness, and those who suffer from palpitation or other sense of discomfort at the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their medical adviser." An Intentional Omission. The treasury officials have been very quietly conducting an investigation of an error which occurred in the enrollment of the Sundry Civil bill, and it is alleged that some other startling discoveries have 'been made. Some time ago the treasury detailed a detective to work up the case, and it is said that he has found out that the error was an intentional one, and was induced by the use of money. There were parties here while the Hot Springs bill was pending who were opposed to it because it gave to certain parties privileges which these men wanted. The rumor is that two members of Congress and two Clerks of Enrollment were bribed to omit the Hot Springs section in enrolling the bill, and Clerk Adams has already discharged the clerk who was enrolling when the omission occurred.—Washington telegram. Mb. Ewers Hatch is a fresh illustration of the vicissitudes of Wall street. Some few months ago he failed for the paltry sum of $2,500.

" Stop the train!" was all he said, but he again looked at the conductor in a very business-like way, and the conductor pulled the cord, and the train stopped still. Covering the occupants of the car with their weapons, the men now backed quietly to the door, ordered the conductor out on the platform, descended, gave one more order: <fNow go ahead!" and as it was obeyed vanished in the darkness. The whole affair had occupied but little more than five minutes, and the train was detained less than two. Some of the passengers in the smoking-car had seen the meeting of the conductor with the men on the platform, and had supposed that they were tramps and that the train had stopped to put them off. The engineer did not even suspect anything to be wrong. A Queer C us torn. The cemetery at Munich, says a correspondent, always has attractions to the visitor, on account of the peculiarity of funerals and the exposure of the bodies of the dead for three days before burial. The law requires the body of every one dying in Munich to be conveyed to the cemetery within three hours, there to remain in buildings erected for the purpose for three days. During these three days a wire is attached to the hand of each corpse, leading to a spring bell, so that an alarm, will be given to those whose duty itis to be on guard in case of resuscitation. We could not ascertain whether there had ever been a case of "resuscitation, but it appears that a long time ago a ease of burial alive had led to the establishment of this custom, which had been regularly kept up ever since, to avoid a recurrence of such a catastrophe. We immediately proceeded to the first of those halls, in which the bodies of the poor were deposited, and there found, eighteen bodies, not laid out as if for burial, but reclining in floral bowers or resting upon beds of flowers. Spectators were not admitted to the rooms, but they were surrounded by windows, through which a full view and inspection of each body could be had. There were eighteen bodies in the room, seven of which were infants and eleven those of grown persons, except one beautiful girl of about 12 years, arrayed in white muslin, resting on a bed of flowers, with a wreath of orange blossoms around her head, reclining as if asleep, with her bare arms lying carelessly by her side. None of them, except the infants, were lying as we usually dispose of the dead, but in every case, whether old or young, there appeared to be an effort to place them in a careless or half-reclining attitude so as to ha*?e the appearance of being in a natural sleep. Au old man in this room, not less than 60 years of age, the body dressed in a black cloth suit, was almost in a sitting posture. Around each body there was also a number of large bouquets, with cards attached to them, having been sent to the cemetery by friends of the deceased just as they are sent to the house by friends in this country. After *the expiration of three days the body is placed in the coffin by the undertaker, and the friends and relatives all assemble at the cemetery, and the funeral takes place.

Editorial: Warnings cannot always save
As a huge tornado was bearing down on Moore, Okla., Monday, meteorologists at the National Weather Service knew they needed to do more than issue a tornado warning — which means a tornado has been sighted and people should take shelter immediately.
Instead, according to a report on NPR, they warned of a "tornado emergency" — monster tornado on the way.
Especially in Tornado Alley states like Oklahoma, people hear lots of tornado warnings. The Weather Service knew it needed to shake people up to let them know that this time was different.
Some 36 minutes went by between that warning and the tornado's arrival — considerably more than the average lead time of 13 minutes. But even that was not enough to get everyone out of harm's way. Authorities have confirmed 24 people dead so far, including nine children.
If you do nothing else in response to this disaster, go to ReadyRowan.org and sign up for emergency alerts and email notifications. When significant storms and other disasters threaten the area, you could get an emailed alert straight from Rowan County Emergency Services' chief, Frank Thomason.
While you're on the site, check out other resources available to help families and businesses prepare for and deal with emergency situations. There are activities for children so they can be informed instead of afraid. The site also has numbers to report emergencies to area utility companies.
Rowan County has an impressive network of professionals and volunteers who stand at the ready to help people in emergency situations, something especially worthy of note during Emergency Medical Services Week, as recently proclaimed by commissioners. In medical situations, there are physicians, nurses, medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators and others trained specifically to deal with emergencies and disasters. They can give lifesaving care 24/7, something many people take for granted. The same goes for the people who help us in emergencies that are not medical.
Some of our local responders and volunteers may eventually journey to Oklahoma to be part of the recovery effort there. They watch news of events like that with even more interest than the average citizen. They train and prepare for the worst, hoping it never happens. Unfortunately for the people of Moore, there are some tornados for which no amount of warning and training can prepare them.

All About Me
You're special in every way; how you look, how you think, how you feel. Isn't it amazing? There is no other girl in the world exactly like you. Let's have some fun getting to know what makes each one of us unique!
International Observe The Moon Night
International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN, pronounced eye-nom) is a world-wide celebration of our nearest celestial neighbor, the moon! Each year in the fall, millions of people from around the world come together to view the moon. Learn about its diverse roles in culture, history, science and exploration.
March For Babies

Me and the Media
You can learn to recognize how situations, attitudes and the behavior of others affect your sense of self. Advertising, the media and peer pressure influences can be unrealistic. Do you really know what goes on behind the scenes?
Me and You
Do you have positive relationships in your life? Would you like a more trusting relationship with others? Is your body language more powerful than your words? Learn to communicate better with words and body language.
Me Inside and Out
What does it mean to be physically and emotionally healthy? You can commit to practicing and promoting healthy behavior. It is always a challenge to keep your life mentally and emotionally well balanced. Learn how to have a positive mental attitude most of the time and keep your body healthy and feeling well.
Mental Health Awareness
The Mental Health Awareness Patch objectives are to educate Girl Scouts about the brain and its influence on thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and through that knowledge, increase awareness and understanding of mental illness. Through education we can change perceptions and reduce the stigma of mental illness.
Pride and Patriotism
This patch program enhances a feeling of patriotism in girls, while teaching the symbolism behind the U.S. and state flags.
Breast Cancer Awareness
All women are at risk for breast cancer. It causes more deaths among women than any other form of cancer except lung cancer. Breast cancer may be curable if it is are found early. Since we don't know what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it, the best protection is to detect it as early as possible. The earlier young women learn to perform breast self examinations and about healthy lifestyles, the more likely it is that they will be able to detect changes in their breasts and seek medical attention. As Girl Scout troops work on the patch, they will help educate their friends and family members.
Home Means Nevada
This patch is designed to encourage exploration and discovery of this great state. The Nevada State Museum at Springs Preserve conducts programs to meet these requirements.
Me And The World Around Me
To encourage girls of all ages to read more and write their own stories. This patch program is also designed to increase girls' awareness of distant friendships, family relationships and exploring new travel.
Me and My VIP
This patch is to stimulate family interest in and knowledge of the Girl Scout program. It is designed to increase their understanding or the ways girls can benefit from Girl Scout experiences. Families come in different sizes and forms. "Family" most often refers to close relation such as mother father, sister, and brother. However, this term also refers to other important people in a person's life. Great grandparents, grandparents, step-parents, foster parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends may be a part of the family. For the purpose of this program, family members may include any significant individual in her Girl Scout life.

Lightest Carry On w/ 4 Wheels
By Eve the Traveler
from San Francisco
Although it is lightweight, I could not secure my additional tote bag to this piece of luggage.Handle was too wide and top of suitcase was not flat. It was very difficult to try to balance my tote bag on it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Amazingly Light
By On the G.O.

It's very roomy and without a doubt the lightest carry on I've seen.

I prefer 2 compartments one large and one small on the outside of the suitcase instead on one large compartment. That makes it easier to separate items instead of one large compartment with a mish mash of items
World's Lightest Carry-On, HAS CHANGED
By Moe & Sarah
from Brooklyn, NY
We had previously purchased this 'World's Lightest Carry-on as a gift. In addition to its obvious Pro's it was smart-looking, sleek and attractive.Which is why we decided to buy it for ourselves.However, the styling has changed. Instead of a tight, sleek and 'squarish' look, its appearance is now rounded, with a built-in loose, flabby 'belly' that is no longer solid but loose.The Zipper also tends to 'stick' as it's rounding the rounded corners. The zipper stitching is puckered in several places; (a sure sign of declining standards).It's not bad as a carry-on. But other than its weight, it has nothing special going for it.It's appearance and quality certainly don't justify the price. Both have radically changed.We would've liked to recommend it to a friend; unfortunately, we can't.
Great Purchase - One Problem
By David
from NYC
The only thing that should be improved is the flow of the zippers. They can be difficult to open around the corners.
Lightness Appreciated
By gvwatts
from Edmonton,Alberta, Canada
I really like the style of the handle on this bag. The frame lies along the sides of the bag making it easier to pack items flat against the bottom. I don't have to pack around handle frames located down the center.
By Sassy
from Spokane, WA
This will be a great carry on for trips where I can pack lightly. Quite a few things fit into it with plenty of compartments to organize other items.
Just Terrific!
By Grandma
from Naples, FL
traded in my heavy travel pro for this lightweight case. it is wonderful!
can't forget the odor
By ralphyK
from 57401
Big Disappointment. Light weight, yes. But bad odor when opened, atrocious, repulsive color of lining, will go on with my old heavy weight suit case. Thank you, but no.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. We recommend airing out the luggage in a well ventilated area.

The Affordable Care Act is a step in the right direction but it still fails to ensure that every American is covered. Unfortunately the bill does not guarantee access for every American to our healthcare system. In fact, the only thing the bill guarantees is more profit for health insurance companies as Americans buy insurance. We need to start viewing healthcare not as a commodity but as a human right!
Unfortunately, North Carolina still views healthcare as a commodity and refuses to do the bare minimum to ensure the citizens have access to the healthcare system our nation has collectively built. The state has opted out of the Medicaid expansion that was a key component to the ACA, which would allow access to healthcare for low-income families in the state. Two recent studies have shown that by opting, out hundreds of poor low-income families in the state will lose their lives and businesses will lose millions of dollars annually in tax penalties starting in 2015. It is time for North Carolina to change direction and opt-in, giving Medicaid coverage for those most in need.

Was letting Lehman go down the biggest mistake of the crisis? Many, including George Soros in the Financial Times, have argued that letting Lehman go down sowed panic to markets, consumers and businesses.
Not so fast, says Harvard historian Niall Ferguson, in an interview in Davos:
"My position is this is a typical error of historical understanding in which a single event is blamed for much more than it can possibly have caused. You can say 'Hank Paulson is to blame for my troubles' and if you can change one thing in the story it would have a happy ending.
It's like saying if only Princip had not shot the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 there wouldn't have been a First World War.
If you go through the events of September of last year you will find it incredibly hard to produce a counterfactual scenario in which it could have been possible to save both Merrill Lynch and Lehman. There is one bank which could be bought by Bank of America but there couldn't have been two.
This is a crisis of too much bank leverage which began in August of 2007 and indeed had it roots far before. A bank leveraged 25-1 only needs a 4 percent decline in their assets to have their equity wiped out. And the notion that saving one investment bank could somehow have prevented or mitigated the crisis is a fantasy. The problem would have happened at some point somewhere else. There is a fundamental problem of bank solvency."

Truman Posted November 2, 2012 By Kenneth Lowande and Carah Ong Friday Round-up: All or Nothing Obama Vs Romney. Photo Courtsesy Malwack, CC BY-SA. It's the economy, stupid! The final jobs report before the election was issued this morning and the presidential campaigns have already incorporated the findings into their talking points even though the report is unlikely to make a difference with just four days remaining. Employers reported adding 171,000 jobs in October, which was better than expected and better than September (148,000). The unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent, up from 7.8 percent, but the reason behind the increase was that more people counted themselves as looking for work. Disaster Politics. Mitt Romney suspended campaigning on Monday and Tuesday, while Barack Obama didn't return to campaigning until Thursday due to Hurricane Sandy. The hurricane also interrupted early voting efforts in affected states, though not in Ohio. Sandy appears to be benefitting Obama, at least at the margins. According to the latest release of the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll, President Obama received high marks for his response to Hurricane Sandy. Nearly eight in ten likely voters think the President did an "excellent" or "good job" responding to the disaster. And finally climate disruption has entered the race, thanks to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (Independent) who endorsed Obama in an op-ed in the wake of Sandy: The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast — in lost lives, lost homes and lost business — brought the stakes of next Tuesday's presidential election into sharp relief ... Our climate is changing. ... We need leadership from the White House. Obama and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie together surveyed storm-battered New Jersey. Meanwhile, Romney ignored repeated questions from reporters regarding his position on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In a June 2011 CNN debate, Romney agreed that federal disaster response could be curtailed: "Absolutely. Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better." Economic damages inflicted by Hurricane Sandy could reach $50 billion, according to the catastrophic risk modeling company Eqecat. According to the Center for Responsive Politics' new analysis of Federal Election Commission data, this election will likely cost $6 billion. The 2012 election will be the most expensive election in American history, with the cost exceeding the next most expensive election by more than $700 million.

Obsessive Beauty
| Print |
We've written about her in the pages of Good Times before, but Terry McInerney is still getting an A+ in our grade book for creating fine leather goods. Take this $45 brown leather cuff watch, for example. Suited for a variety of wrist shapes, these watches come in a slew of leather options, and faces. McInerney can custom order your vision of a cuff watch, or you can order one straight from her Etsy shop (Nualaleather). Timeless, classic, rustic, charming and über stylish, these timepieces are a must-have. I've been eyeing them for over a year now and should probably just call her up and custom order one for myself. Also on her Etsy page is another Obsessive Beauty favorite—a cuff with a broach attached to it—whimsical and fashionable, and perfect for the upcoming fall season.

Santa Cruz Mountain winemakers explain how the harvest works, and what kind of wine to expect from this year's crop
Libra's Two Choices
Libra (our last week) is the sign of creating right relations and values. In Libra we are asked to choose how to be, our identity in the world. We can maintain a hermetic sealed-off attitude (my life, my work, my money, etc.) or we can gain knowledge of world events and learn more about those in need. Libra is a group sign—self with others. Here are some events occurring in our world this week concerning food, poverty, spirituality, values and global realities. The UN (a spiritual experiment) each month places a "light" upon world problems. This week a light shines on Rural Women, Farms, Food & Poverty. Before we choose to respond we must have knowledge. "So we can each do our part." Oct. 15 - International Day of Rural Women (unrecognized with few resources); Oct. 16 - World Food Day & Family Farming: Feeding the World, Caring for the Earth; Oct. 17 - Eradication of Poverty Day (international). During the month of Libra (with Saturn exalted), we pause, contemplate and assess what it is we know, don't know, and need to know. Libra receives and distributes Ray 3 of divine intelligence, right relations, right choice and right economy (Venus). Use your intelligence "tips the Libran scales" in terms of being able to see and then choose between the two paths Libra offers (return to the past or step forward into Scorpio's Discipleship). Libra (the oscillating light) prepares us for the great tests and conflicts in Scorpio. In Libra we are subtly tested as we learn the nature of polarized energies (s/he loves me, s/he loves me not). In Libra we learn more about ourselves through others. Libra's Ray 3 asks us to become more adaptable and skillful. And then we are to teach each other what we know. In Libra, we all become teachers. In all these ways love is cultivated.

Uncle Bob's at Oakwood Dr. in Glastonbury the outside electrical outlet at unit E23 does not work. The electrical outlet outside unit E17 does not work and it is not fastened to the building. You can pull it away from the building exposing the wiring. Safety hazard for sure, possible fire hazard. I have reported this to management 4 times in the last 6 months and the condition still exists. Please see what you can do to rectify this situation. All of the above notwithstanding, I am a very satisfied customer and the management people are superb.Eric from Glastonbury, CT

George Hincapie found his chances for a top 10 placing at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal Sunday derailed when he was caught behind slower riders on the final uphill sprint to the line. The BMC Racing Team's road captain finished 19th in his final race of the year.
Consistency Marked Hincapie Season
Hincapie said he felt much better in the 205.7-kilometer race than in Friday's race in Quebec City. As eventual winner Rui Alberto Faria Da Costa (Movistar) was escaping to the finish with two others, Hincapie was setting up in the pack for the final 180-degree turn a few hundred meters from the line. "I went into the corner fifth, but I went in on the outside," the three-time U.S. national road champion said. "The guys who went into the corner first went to the outside and kind of stopped, so I had to brake and lost a ton of positions." Racing for the final time in his 18th season, Hincapie said he was pleased with his consistency. "I thought it was a good season, especially helping Cadel (Evans) at the Tour de France," he said. "I felt solid most of the year so I'm happy with the way the season went. Of course, I would've liked to have a couple more wins."

Orthopedics Pillar of Clinical Excellence
Orthopedics refers to the branch of medicine specializing in the treatment of the muscular and skeletal system. Our Arizona medical charity supports top-notch medical teams trained in the care and treatment of those necessary systems, but our current campaign focuses on bettering the department. Read on to learn how philanthropic efforts are benefiting the orthopedic pillar of our Phoenix medical charity.
Mission/Purpose Enhance surgical services for orthopedic patients
Enhancement to the surgical suites at Banner Boswell Medical Center will enable orthopedic patients at the Arizona medical charity supported facility to receive state-of-the-art care in an area likely to attract some of the best surgeons in the country. The $2.9 million project will complete the architectural and engineering design work of a renovation and expansion of the perioperative services department. This project will add operating rooms and ancillary space to support orthopedics as well as cardiovascular, neurosurgical and oncology services. The current intended scope is to increase the number of operating rooms from 14 to 17 and of prep and recovery beds from 38 to 68 with the Phoenix medical charity supported facility.
A number of benefits can be brought about with this Arizona medical charity campaign. For instance, attracting top surgeons can dramatically improve the quality of patient care. Additionally, adding operating rooms, ancillary space and prep recovery beds expands the Phoenix medical charity supported facility in such a way that more patients can be treated in a more organized and efficient manner. We thank you for your interest in our orthopedic campaign and are happy to answer any questions you may have about our efforts.

The only issues I have are the SOS "string slap" when shooting, which is now fixed (accidentally broke it...oops!), and my down cable is showing some premature wear from the TRG, once again my fault for over waxing in that area...still waiting to hear on a replacement cable. Other than those two issues, it's a MILLION times better than my old bow.
Regarding the yotes, I have my stands set up, just need to get out and do some calling to see if I can stab a few!

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 15, 2010)-Ron McAnally, who has won the Sunset Handicap three times during his Hall of Fame career, will try for another Sunday at Hollywood Park.
McAnally, whose first Sunset victory came with Cruiser II in 1975, will send out Buenos Dias against six rivals in the $100,000 race at 1 ½ miles on turf. The Grade III is the closing day feature for the spring-summer meet.
Owned by Charles Cella, Buenos Dias, a 5-year-old son of Peintre Celebre out of the Rainbow Quest mare Buenos Aires, broke through with his first victory in the United States when returned to Hollywood Park on June 10.
Facing four opponents in the optional claimer at the Sunset distance, the Irish bred won by 2 ¼ lengths at 7-1. The victory ended a nine race losing streak for Buenos Dias, including eight losses in Southern California.
A winner of three of 19 – all on turf – with earnings of $223,412, Buenos Dias, who is 2-for-4 at 1 ½ miles, will again be ridden by Brice Blanc. McAnally's other Sunset wins came with John Henry (1984) and Plicck (1999).
The only remaining entrant coming off a win is Champ Pegasus. In fact, the 4-year-old son of Fusaichi Pegasus and the Salt Lake mare Salt Champ has won two in a row for owner-breeders Diamond A Racing Corporation and Arturo Vargas and trainer Richard Mandella.
Nearly two months after defeating maidens at Santa Anita in his third start on grass, Champ Pegasus won an optional claimer going 1 ¼ miles at the 2-1 favorite on June 12 at Hollywood Park.
Joe Talamo remains with Champ Pegasus and the jockey will be looking for a repeat in the Sunset. He won with Black Astor a year ago. The last rider to go back-to-back in the race is Alex Solis, who scored three times in succession between 2005-07.
Champ Pegasus has won two of five and earned $68,520 for Mandella, who won the Sunset two years in a row – Sandpit (1995) and Talloires (1996).
Trainer Mike Mitchell, who has had a lot of success with claims in turf races in recent years, hopes for more of the same with Dynamic Range.
Taken for $40,000 by Mitchell for Indizguys Stable on May 20, the 4-year-old Dynaformer gelding and the Theatrical mare Simone's Show will be shooting for his second win over the Hollywood Park turf.
A winner at the Sunset distance last fall at Santa Anita, Dynamic Range has won three of 14 while earning $133,360. Mitchell's claims who went on to graded stakes success on turf include Star Over The Bay, who won the 2004 Sunset, Leprechaun Kid, Big Booster, Church Service, Ever A Friend and On The Acorn.
In terms of earnings, Unusual Suspect is by far the most accomplished of the participants.
Owned by trainer Barry Abrams, his wife Dyan and brother David, the 6-year-old Unusual Heat horse out of the Crested Wave mare Penpont has won eight of 48 and banked $805,850.
Bred in California by David Abrams, Unusual Suspect has only one win in 16 starts since the beginning of 2009. Three of his victories have come over the Hollywood Park turf.
Oil Man will be making his first start at 12 furlongs. The 4-year-old son of Pyrus and the Batshoof mare So Precious will try to rebound from a last place finish in the American Handicap on July 4.
Owned in partnership by Tommy Town Thoroughbreds and trained by John Sadler, who won the 2008 Sunset with Warning Zone, Oil Man has three wins in 16 starts, earning $153,214. His only stakes win in 12 starts in the U.S. came in the 2009 Cinema, a Grade III, at Hollywood Park.
Completing the field are Marlang, who was fifth in a $64,900 allowance on June 27 in his California debut, and Great Siege, fifth in an allowance at 1 1/16 miles on June 6.
Owned and bred in Canada by Gustav Schickendanz and trained by Neil Drysdale, Marlang is 1-for-3 at the Sunset distance. He is 4-for-14 in his career with earnings of $498,212.
Trained by David Hofmans for Amerman Racing Stables, Great Siege will be trying 12 furlongs for the first time. The 5-year-old gelded son of Rock Of Gibraltar and the Indian Ridge mare Tosca's Empire has won three of 17. His bankroll stands at $152,260.From the inside out, the field for the 70th Sunset Handicap: Great Siege, Tyler Baze rides, 114 pounds; Oil Man, Martin Garcia, 115; Dynamic Range, Rafael Bejarano, 115; Champ Pegasus, Joe Talamo, 113; Buenos Dias, Brice Blanc, 115; Unusual Suspect, Corey Nakatani, 114 and Marlang, Joel Rosario, 115.
The Sunset is the ninth of 10 races Sunday. Post time is 1 p.m.
