It has been quite a while since
cur little place has been represent
ed, but nevertheless we are still
among the living and our commun
ity is and has been blessed with
health the year.
There will be a great many
changes to take place during the
next few days. There are but a
few families that are not going to
move or have moved this year.
We have been having some very
disagreeable weather for *the last
few weeks. We have had some
rain but not enough to raise the
water in the wells at this writing.
Chistmas is gone and anew year
has come about with a great many
changes and resolutions.
Everyone predicts a better crop
this year than there has been right
through here in several years. If
there is another just such a crop
year as last year it would almost
be impossible to tell what would
become of the poor farmers. There
is not a farmer in this whole settle
ment that made enough last year
to run him till crops are made
again.

A ROUGH RIDE.
The Story Lincoln Told the Man Who
Asked Him to Stop the War.
Soon after Lincoln issued his call
for the first 75,000 men a well
meaning man called on him and
begged him to stop the war.
“That’s what I’m trying to do,”
said Lincoln sadly, “and lying
awake nights thinking how to do
it.”
“But you have called for volun
teers.”
“Yes.”
“Well, do you mean that that is
trving to stop the war ?”
‘“Yes.”
“You are joking, Mr, Lincoln.”
“No, I’m in dead earnest?' Some
things are easier to stop by letting
them run awhile and slow down
gradually than bv jerking them up.
Buddenly, especially if you don’t
know just what is making them go.
Let me toll you a ■Story:
“When I was a boy about fifteen,
I had to ride a horse over to a
neighboring town. The man that
owned him gave me a quarter to
take him there and get him shod.
Well, 1 didn’t know much about
horses except from behind with a
plow dragging after them, so when
I got on that horse I felt a little
awkward. I thought I’d start right,
so 1 cut a switch and rode off brave-
Lv
“After I was beginning to get a
little sore and the horse was begin
ning to find out the sort of green
rider he had on his back something
set him going, and he broke into a
gallop. He got going so fast that
Iliad to take both hands to the
bridle, so I tucked my switch under
my arm, grabbed the rein in both
fists and yanked. He gave a leap
and went harder than ever. I yank
ed, and he ran, and the harder I
pulled the more unmanageable he
got. After a mile or two of pretty
uncomfortable going I found that
the end of the switch under my arm
struck him in the flank every time I
pulled. Now, I don’t know enough
about this war yet to feel sure that
I ought to yank back. But I hope
if I let it run long enough to look

How Water Freezes.
It used to puzzle all thinking peo
ple why ponds and rivers do not
freeze beyond a certain dept* This
depends on a most curious-fact—
namely, that water is at its heaviest
when it reaches 40 degrees F.—that
is, 8 degrees above freezing point.
On a frosty night as each top layer
of water falls to 40 degrees it sinks
to Hie bottom; therefore the whole
pond has to drop to 40 degrees be
fore any of it can freeze.
At last it is all cooled to this
point, and then ice begins to form.
But ice is a very bad conductor of
heat. Therefore it shuts off the
freezing air from the big body of
comparatively warm water under
neath. The thicker it gets the more
perfectly does it act as a greatcoat,
and that is why even the Arctic
ocean never freezes beyond a few
feet in thickness.—Marine Journal.
Hard Earned Dollars.
Distinguished literary men are
just like ordinary folk after all.
They do not live in a cloud of inspi
ration, and the incense that people
burn under their noses is likely to
choke them. Mark Twain once told
a hysterical admirer that he had
writers’ cramp early in hi3 career.
When asked what he took for it,
he answered, “Beefsteak.”
Samuel Johnson, although not
an ordinary man in any of his ideas
or habits, took a very commonplace
view of his profession. He said that
a man was a fool to write for any
thing but money, and when asked
if he did not like to write he an
swered that it is not pleasant to
write, but it is pleasant to have
written.
Lost His Stoutness.
An amusing aeeident once befell
Mr. Bourchier when playing Dr.
Johnson.
In the part he had to make him
self as stout as possible, and to this
end he, had had manufactured a
sort of pneumatic stomach, which
was blown out before going on the
stage and then sealed up.
Unfortunately, however, on this
special occasion he knocked against
some of the scenery and caused a
puncture. The audience was amaied
at hearing a strange noise and see
ing the “Sage of Fleet Street”
shrinking visible before their very
eyes.—London Express.

A Boisterous Critic.
In an Australian theater rraritly
a man arose in the front row v ' the
gallery during the third act ;anu re
marked, “This is a bad play.” The
leading actor came to the footlights
and shouted: “You’ve no *i" it to
interrupt. If you don’t li -t, go
outside.” “Excuse me,” repined
the malcontent, “I have the right
to criticise what I have paid for. If
I buy a pound of butter and find it
is bad, I say so. I have bought a
shillings worth of this show, and
it is an imposition. I want my mon
ey back.” At this point a stalwart
attendant interposed. Clawing, un
parliamentary language and smash
ing of furniture ensued. Eventually
the champion of the . playgoers*
rights emerged triumphant from
the fray. Holding a shilling * on.
high, he exclaimed: “It’s all right.
I’ve got my money back. The play
can now proceed.”
How a Bird Files.
It is a matter of considerable dif
ficulty to determine at what dis
tance from home a bird can begin
to direct his course by landmarks.
Trained pigeons can do so for hun
dreds of miles, and shore birds and
those which breed in cliffs near the
sea have no difficulty whatever in
reaching their homes after once
striking the coast line. These birds
are conspicuously conservative in
the matter of nesting sites, breed
ing by myriads in a few colonies, to
which they return, at stated inter
vals. /
Some Russian Customs.
In Russia a child ten years of age
cannot go away front home to school
without a passport, nor can com
mon servants and peasants go away
from where they live without one.
A gentleman residing in Moscow or
St. Petersburg cannot receive the
visit of a friend who remains many
hours without notifying the police.
The porters of all houses are com
pelled to make returns of the ar
rival and departure of strangers, and
for every one of the above passports
a charge is made of some kind.
