Down Cellar.

John McGibbon knows just exactly
how cold his cellar is under the most
favorable combination of circum-
stances. His wife told him on Fri
day noon that she was little fearful
the vegetables and fruits would suffer
from frost, unless something was
done to mitigate the cold John
thought burning lamp would be the
proper thing, SO after dinner he went
down cellar, the entrance to which is a
big trap door from the kitchen. His
wife went with him to superintend af-
fairs. They left their little one just
creeping about, up stairs, and as a
matter of safety closed down the trap
door after them. And that was their
mistake. After shutting down the
trap the pantry door wung just far
enough open to serve as a bolt to the
trap door. Attempting to raise the
trap, the open door barred it COM
pletely. John stood on the stairs
and bent his shoulders to the task of
bursting that door from the hinges.
But it wouldn't burst. The outside
cellar window was banked with dirt
frozen as hard as a stone, so there
was no chance that way. They We're
as securely locked in as they would
have been in a frozen dungeon.
He had pocket knife with him, for
tunately, and with that be proceeded
to the tires ONE task of cutting hole
in the trap door big enough to admit
of his hand being thrust through to
swing the door shut But he couldn't
reach the door, even then. But fortu
nately an old bail was found, and by
means of this the door was swung out
of the way, and the prisoners were re-
leased, after a couple OF hours OF
close, cold confinement. 1t is funny
now-it was serious enough then.

LEFT-AANDED.

The st. Cloud Times gives the
HERALD'S editor very elegant
left-handed roast, because, torsooth,
this paper suggested that St. Cloud
doesn't like to pay taxes, but really
enjoys disbursing them right at
home. To intimate that the coun-
ty seat is trifle selfish is far from
exaggerating the case. 1t wants
the earth and-Franklin county,
and all that Franklin county wants
is lust Franklin county. But here
is the unkind things the Times
said in its Saturdays issue:
That the genial and talented Hen
dryx, of the Sank Centre HERALD, is
badly soured on ST. Cloud goes with
out saying. His paper weekly gives
evidence of his bitterness OF heart to-
wards the county seat. the great
Granite city, of which he should be a
fond friend and admirer. We have
been, and we are still, sorely grieved
at Charley's perverseness, for 1t Is I'M
kind as we'll AS ungrateful.
St. Cloud loves and admires Char
lev Hendryx for his bright intellect,
his keen and scintillating wit, his bril-
liant oratory. The republican con-
tingent of our city has frequently and
oft singled Charley out for the bestow-
al of high political honors. They have
made him chairman Of the big
Four's" biennial county conventions,
whereat &c. F." felt battered. and
gave expression to his appreciation III
eloquent phrase. they have made him
the writer of their resolutions, and he
failed not to put forth in fitting terms
the claims of the ''B. F.'s' St. Cloud
strikers to official preferment: they
have put him forth to make speeches
in state conventions in advocacy OF
the recognition of ST. Clouds candi-
dates by the republicans of the state,
and he made the welkin ring with their
praises: they have placed him upon
the STUMP where he could land did }
chain the ears of listening multitude
in pouring forth, from the fullness OF
his heart, words of love and logic in
advocacy of St. Cloud republicans for
Office.
All this, and more, have St. Cloud
republicans done for Charley Hen
dryx, and still he is not satisfied. He
seems to think he is entitled to for.
eign mission, and the big Four"
says he is-but wink the other eye; he
cogitates that st. Cloud republicans
should not hold all the offices, but the
"B. F fellows say there are not
even enough to supply the home de-
mand! And, alas, Charley's picture
is turned to the wall, whereat he would
venge himself upon St. Cloud proper.
Yea, even upon We innocent and honest
democ .at.
1t is too bad. And yet, and yet, one
cannot forget, that Charley has a real
grievance. Still, how can his gener-
Gus nature permit him to indulge in
such horrid ISLANDERS as this:
"St. Cloud is impressed with the
idea that its legitimate function in
governmental affairs is taSeating, not
taxpaying."

In the line of his duties he made some

with which to do his figuring. These
he never returned unless asked to do

to him on so trivial matter, for for

recognized as human failing. Nearly
every one he secured was long enough
to pass muster as new pencil, and
after collecting 1000 in this way he
secured contract for furnishing lead
pencils to country school. One OF
the advantages of his bid was that he
offered to furnish pencils already
sharpened. From this start his prog
ress was rapid and basis was thus
furnished for a commodious stationery

One of the stories told by Alexander
of 10, he tanned the war-horse Bucepha

en- by Plutarch in his life of Alexander:
"Philonicus of Thessaly had offered
to sell Philip his horse Bucephalus for
thirteen talents. SO they all went down
into the plain to try the animal. He
proved, however, to be balky and ut
terly useless He would let no one
mount him, and none of the attendants
of Philip could make him hear TO him,
but he violently resisted them all.
Philip, in his disgust. ordered the horse
led away as being utterly wild and I'M

was present, said: That Is too good
a horse for those men to spoil that way.
simply because they haven't the skill
or the grit to handle him right At
first Philip paid no attention to him,
but as he kept insisting on being heard
and seemed greatly disturbed about
the matter, his father said to him:

most of the planets are cool bodies and
do not, therefore, give out light of their
own. Compared with the earth the
