fountain. with basin which measures

fountain q correspondent Of the Phila-

story:
Last fall three bsss were put II the
basin, each weighing perhaps one and
a half pounds Il was not supposed
that the water IN the basin would
freeze. but one Te-y cold night i did.
and the three bass were imprisoned
beneath a thick layer Of ice.
The cold weather kept up and the
water froze deeper AID deeper until
the whole mass Of water finally became
solid and frigid mass, and the fish
were inelosed IN a transparent tomb
The flowing water from the fountain
kept freezing until gigantic pyrs mid
had been formed twelve feet in height
The bass were plainly visible, and the
remarkable manner in which they had
been caught attracted much attention
Recently during 4 rain the ice melted
and the fsh, which were encased for
over three months, were left to drift
on the water. The engineer was about
to throw them away for dead when he
noticed that one Of the fish wiggled a
fin, and To his surprise found that il
was still alive. Al three Of the fish
returned TO life after a few hours
basking in the sunshine, and they are
now swimming around in lively mar
ner With no visible evidence Of their

the last spark of hope yet remaining for
these Forestry stations to accomplish
some good let them, by all means, aid
the Governor in an effort to find some
one who is capable to grasp the sltua-

know as much about what has been ac-

too short term to educate and make

pensive business to the state and for the
people. And it is in their interest that
we thus write hoping that change may

That old joke about the bashful girl
who was so modest she wouldn't go into
a restaurant because she would see the
salad dressing, is again going the rounds
of the press. Perhaps it may be inter
esting to note that few more modest
girls have been brought to light. Among
them is the girl who dislikes to walk
across the potato patch because the tu-
bers have eyes and might see her ankles.
Another refused to drive through for
est in autumn because the leaves were
off the trees and she would see their
naked limbs. Another always wore
muller around her head when she came
down to breakfast so that the people
might not see her hair undressed. Still
another did not like to run down hill be-
cause it made her breath come 10 short
pants. Atchison Champion.

about twenty young ladies and gentle
men assembled at the residence of W.
E. Saum on the evening of December

entertained by Misses Susie Henkel and
Mollie Saum.
The invitations said ''Fad Party" and
glance at the costumes IN most cases
revealed each ones particular fad.
Miss Florence Reynolds as ''photo-
graphs" carried out the idea by having
number of photos suspended by baby
ribbon taking the place of the usual
fashionable ruffie now worn over the
shoulders.
Miss Nellie Smith as ''jewelry" dis
played many pretty rings.
Miss Bessie Cowick's love of flowers
was plainly evidenced.
The pretty "ribdon" decorations on
Miss Grace Johnson s costume explained
her fad,
Miss Matte Prince was yelling, hay
ing quantities of yelling artistically ar
ranged over her costume.
Misses Mollie Saum and Susie Henkel
showed decided preference for hand.
kerchiefs, wearing handkerchiefs pref
| tily draped over the shoulders and hand
kerchief bows at the waist.
Mr.. George Baker as autographs
carried a number of blank cards tiec
with pretty ribbon, on which each guest
| inscribed his name Mr.. Baker thus Sc
curing mementos of the occasion.
Mr.. Lou Gleason, by numerous scar
pins representing guns, pistols, ETC., ex
pressed liking for firearms.

Baker, Ray Gleason and Clarence Hen

preference were ''horses," they were
certainly justified in looking wise ant
