A farmer in an adjoining county
last year, becoming dissatisfied with
| his work, figured out one rainy day
| that he had walked 800 miles in cult
| waiting one 9cre of corn. lie decided
| that this was altogether too laborous II
way of getting living. He therefore
sold his farm and moved into the viii
lage, where he has walked 600 miles to
find a job and is still walking.
A passenger conductor says there is
q decided current among travellers
toward the use of the mileage ticket
instead of trip tickets. He thinks on
reason is that because some of the
roads have become less vigilant in
taking up the books, which are some
times found in the hands of persons
other than those whose names are
signed on the mileage books. The
general travelling public is being edu
Gated to the point that it is a saving to
use the mileage books on all possible
occasions.
The Standard Oil Co. explains the
shortage in its measurement of oil bv
the fact that it is sold by weight and
that it must be q certain temperature
before it will weigh heavy enough to
suit their idea of what il should bring.
This is flimsy excuse and quite in
keeping with the cOmpany's way of
doing business. If the merchant is to
get out even on his oil he must set the
can on the stove, heat it to the proper
temperature, weigh out gallon and
make his customer believe he has full
measure. This will be awkward for
while, but it must be done if they ex-
pect to keep even with the great mo-
nopoly.--Marlette Leader.
Last Tuesday our old friend Jerry
Johnson, thinking to renew old times,
shouldered his muzzle loader, whistled
for his dog, and proceeded 20 hunt the
willy fox. Soon the hound found the
business end of a fox track and pro-
ceeded to investigate. Jerry and the
purp investigated all that day without
success. Returning home he slept on
the subject thoroughly and concluded
he needed help. The assistance of Eli
McKenna and his canine was procured
and business resumed where he had
left off the day before. With hunt
er's perseverance they kept the trail
until about two miles from Valley
Centre when the whistle of the evening
train warned them that night was near
and their base of supplies many miles
to the south. a couple of weary pill
grims and two discouraged looking
dogs may have been seen meandering
through our streets as fast as their
frozen feet would allow them while
HIS car might be taken for frozen
plant from drifted grave. It's I'M
necessary TO say that Roynard roams
