Last evening while rambling around for
news, we entered Griffith & Korns grocery and
confectionery store, and we're amused TO note
/ that one box OF peculiar looking candy con
tainod the business card of a Greenfield under
| taking establishment, which weiuterprattsd as
follows "eat this candy and send for this
undertaken We beat a hasty retreat onIv 10
notice near by ON another building q large sign

am undertaking establishment. There are
some queer things in this world.
! Two small boys one Of whom was half-witted
and clad In very thin garments, we're taken In

| with that institution and were on their WAY
back through Fridays storm, and were suffer

IOvercOats for them and after they had time to
warm sent them ON their way rejoicing They
were in an open spring wagon. IL the super-
intendent is TO blame he should be hauled over
the Goals for sending them away 70 such a des-
titute condition.
The live stock business goes in queer stroakB
i'm this region Only a few years back every
| thing was fine sheep, and everybody expected
TO get rich soon that raised long wool sheep and
| great long wool hung over our eyes, But For
| tune tickle goddess did not smile propiti0uB on
the undertaking, and short horn cattle stepped
| in and promised to Gil the aching void and line
each breeders purse with gold, but the horns
were too short TO reach the lining, and then
the Alderny craze was upon us and our tables
groaned under the golden rolls that brought
/ fancy prices, and we thought all that rittered
was gold and that we had found the philoso-
! piers magic wand, but the mistake was finally
discovered and now 10 is 0te thing TO talk
horse, and one can scarcely talk in a crowd ten
minutes without the conversation turning up-
ON the subject OF breeding fine horses, and we
are assured that if we want fine horses we must
breed for them. The fever has become epi-
demic it is worse than the distemper and
more catching than the epizootic, and we have
| it very bad. When a fellow gets the fever all
party and denominational lines are obliterated,
the appetite becomes weak, sleep Is not sound
and is broken by dreams of poorly broken
horses and some become subject to night
mares. AS We said before, the disease is catch
ing. 1t is in the very air you breathe, and you
are liable to be taken suddenly, but, gentle
reader it never kills. but "you might as We'll be
out of the world as out Of the fashion"
