When w. L. %Thorndyke, our erstwhila
local contemporary, wishes to break the
monotony of the columns of his Love
land (Col.) Reporter-we will take that
back; Thorndyke is never monotonous.
Anyhow, he dishes Up some rhymes.
These verses he has compiled into book
form, labeled Simply Stuff" Guess
that's right; "Thorn" can't write poetry
a little bit, but he does very often tell a
story in a jingle that is better perhaps
than prose could do it. The little vol
ume is quite interesting, and shows per.
haps as we'll as anything the versatility
OF the cuss.
The creamery will begin running
daily May l. Until then it will run
Mondays, Wednesdays. Fridays and Sat-
u:days. 1t is highly important that pat
rons deliver their milk regularly and on
every day the creamery runs-four times
a week next week and daily except Sun
day therpafter-or else assume the re.
sponsibility of having their milk re.
jected as unfit. For one thing, those
who have young calves to feed do not
want skim-mllk from old and stale milk,
and for a hundred and one other reasons
the creamery does not either. fit is hot
next week, keep the milk in water and
thoroughly aerate it.
Newspapermen are not the only ones
who have soft snaps, with nothing to dc
las others tell it. Ministers have a pic.
mic, too, it seems. Now there is Rev. W
Il. Irwin, of Plankinton, for instance

he has made 100 calls and visits; preach.
ed over 90 sermons: conducted 25 prayer
meetings.; received into the church "a
persons, most of whom were recent con.
verts; organized a Sunday school with az
average attendance Of 35; also formed q
new Methodist class at the Hughes
school house, and has Travelled by team
over AGO miles attending to his work.
We had a letter from a subscriber in
Vermont last week stating that calves
were dying in large numbers there from
} scours and wanting a recipe to curt the
disease. Wish we had one. Tho person
who finds a sure specific for this fata]
malady has a fortune in his grasp. 1t is
!, very certain that 10 n yet has found 8
cure or anything approaching it. The
very best veterinary surgeons in the
west have been trying to study ont the
, cause Of the disease and a cure for it fol
several years. but at last accounts were
as much at sea as ever. A remedy that
apparently works a cure in one case
tails in another and medicine which a
farmer swears by ont year won't save
calls the next, and SO it goes. 1t appears
to be as mysterious as the corDstalk dis.
ease.
Soldiers letter from Manila: During
the late battle Gen. King was personally
directing the troops, and he would give
the order advance" and "halt and
fire. and 1t vert all right for about
twice. Then the ''boys got the bits in
their teeth" When he gave the second
command "halt and fire. they fred all
right, but they didn't halt. He began
to yell "halt! halt" but it had no effect.
The boys went on firing as they went.
When he saw that they were not going
to stop he yelled out, go it then, YOU
Idaho savages." Then he took off his
cap and whlrled it over his head and
shouted: There go American soldiers;
all hell can't stop them. 60 it, boys,
you don't need me-" And the smile on
his face was beautiful to see.
