Our Town Is Good
This is a good town. Let us
get all the good„out of it we can.
The way to get the good out of
land is to improve it. The way
to get the good out of a town is
to develop it. It is a poor farm
that is all pasture, it ought to
be worked. He is a poor farmer
who is content to take merely
what nature sends. . He is a poor
citizen who is willing to let the
town shif for its self, taking on
ly such benefis as come without
labor. The man who is satisfied
to harvest merely what comes
up will have to 1 live on a diet of
weeds. — Ex.

WANTS HIS BACK BROKEN.
Oiv> Thousand Dollars to Successful
Surgeon, Says Ossified Man.
Omaha.—Frank Worden of Colfax
la., will give $1,000 to any surgeon tn
tho United States who will break his
hack with anything short of n sledge
hnmmer. Worden spent a week In
Omaha and was seen by n number of
physicians, but when he left the city
he cnrrled his $1,000 with him.
Worden is an ossified man. He is a
farmei;. With the exception of his eyes,
tongue and arms from the elbow di*wu
ho is one Huge piece of bone, without
n joint or binge of any kind. His body
is as hard as stone and as rigid as a
piece of steel. He cannot laugh; be
cannot even smile. • r
Eighteen yenrs ago. Worden awoke
one morning with n stiff neck. There
wns no pain, but lie could not move bis
bead. He paid no attention to It at
first. But the affliction grew worse.
When Worden felt bis jaws becoming
set lie placed small wedges of wood
between tjls teeth, and In that position
the lower portion of his face became
rigid.
In time the wedges wore removed
nnd the teeth were left about half an
Inch npnrt. Through this aperture lie
Is fed liquid food. Ho cannot mnsti-
cate.
Gradually the hardening affected his
body, Ills limbs and then'his feet. In
eight years Worden’s feet and ankles
were as rigid as stone.
