Bismarck,

Is the name of an imported black

pounds. This horse and also Regale
of which we made mention some weeks
since are the property OF company
which has been organized in Cresco,
of which S. A.. Sutton is President and
Herbert Morgan Secretary. Regale
was bought for $4,000 and Bismarck
for $4,000, and stock or shares are
SOLD on each of them at 800 share,
our farmers and horse breeders being
the owners.
Bismarck is one Of the largest OF the
breed IN America and he is one of the
best bred ones that ever left France as
we'll. His sire Jean Nicot was winner
twice in succession at the Great Perch
eron Show In France. He traces twice
to the famous Brilliant (755). His
breeding through long line OF noted
ancestors is Of the best, and he will
surely produce the sort Of draft horses
that command the highest price on the
market.

Truthful Criticism.

: IL. -
The hoodlum element was in evi.
dence in the gallery as usual. The
best the parents can do for the bows
and girls who pride themselves upon
their uncouth conduct in public is to
take seats in the gallery upon every
occasion when their children occupy
seats there, and If the parents cannot
keep them orderly and well behaved
they can insure large number of
elderly volunteers to assist them who
have lust ached for years to lend q
hand in threshing every mothers son
and daughter of them"
Girls? Yes there are girls in Cresco
who giggle and firt and otherwise
attract attention in public audiences.
They seem to fear that verybody
present will not know that they are
also in the assembly if they do not
make themselves conspicuous by
rude, unladylike manners.-Cresco
Times.
The foregoing is somewhat severe
but its trithfulness insures it place
in our columns. The boys and girls
who spend their time on all public
occasions in making themselves
odious and ridiculous perhaps are not
aware that they are training them
selves for life occupation equally
degrading or humiliating- Those who
neglect being ladies and gentlemen
when young will not acquire the
habit when more mature years come.
They who have chosen to be hoodlums
If boys, rude and unladylike if girls,
will find their companions in that
class and that they will be avoided
and stunned by the refined and we'll
behaved. But above all girls who are
rude and unladylike on the streets, in
pnblic assemblies and who are
scraping the acquaintance OF buns
and travelling men are not only bring
ing sorrow to their friends but are
preparing for themselves bed of
thorns. With sorrow and anguish
of heart we could name several of
this class In Cresco. Instead of seek
ing this class of associates, they
should seek the eompanionship of
those with better manners and higher
aspirations, remembering that as
Longfellow says:
''When'er noble deed is wrought,
Wiener is spoken noble thought,
Our hearts in glad surprise
To higher levels rise."

The dog is mans best friend. This
is fact that philosophers and first
readers agree upon. But sometimes q
mans best friend may get him into
trouble. A case in point found its way
to the courts Of Cincinnati few days
ago. reports local exchange. It was
suit for $4,000 damages, the charge
being false arrest. Judge Murphy's
jury decided against the plaintiff. A..
R. Clark, brick contractor of Day
ton, KY, made bet with John Morris,
foundryman, that valuable hunting
dog belonging to Morris would follow
him Clark when whistled to. Clark
was in his wagon. The bet was made,
Clark whistled, and the dog jumped
into the vehicle, and the horse took
fright and ran away. Morris thought
Clark was trying to steal his dog. Clark
and the canine were dumped out Of
the wagon, butnot seriously hurt. Then
Morris had Clark arrested, and Clark
entered the $4,000 damage suit. The
cog has not lost it's appetite worrying
over the quarrel. The jury took Nor
ris' view of the case.

Life in bath must be somewhat
monotonous, but it is quite common in
the best of our common hospitals. At
first 1t was tried only in few abso-
lutely hopeless cases, but the results
were so satisfactory that various forms
OF disease are now Systematically treat
ed by continuous immersion in water.
Some time ago, for instance, young
girl was dying from complication of
terrible diseases. She was a mere shad-
ow, and nothing but death was before
her under ordinary treatment. But an
ingenious doctor placed her in sheet
and sank her into warm bath SO that
only her head remained above the water.
The bath was kept constantly warm,
and in it she ate, drank and slept for
1873 days and nights. At the end of that
time she stepped out fat and strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
is invaluable, for it can be medicated.
And many hopeless cases of burning
have been successfully treated in this
way.
