By CHAS. L. ALLEN,
Hcial Newspaper of Steele County
JONATHAN BEESWAX.

Everything has quieted down around
Colgate and the people have had to go
back to the Philippine question for their
excitement.
The question for debate at the Col
gate debating club last Wednesday
night was RESOLVED That Money Has
More Influence Over the Minds of Men
Than Education The reason 1 was
not in this debate, was because they
didn't want anyone that ever had any
experience on either side of the question
to take part.
There was an awful pressure of
humanity to the square inch at the
Minstrel show in the town hall Saturday
night Jan. %, at Hope. and had the
weather been more favorable there
would have been many more people dis
appointed than there was. (By not
being able to get in mean, The idea
of going to Aneta with the show, has
been abandoned as the business men of
that town were afraid there would he
such rush to the performance that it
would cause a stagnation of business,
AID they earnestly petitioned the troop
to keep out Of town. Tie whole affair
passed off very pleasantly until along
towards the last when Bob Gray was
slightly wounded by the premature ex-
plosion Of head OF cabbage, but he is
reported to be resting quite easy at pre-
sent. The side-spitting joke, told by
one of the actors in tho farce, would
have carried the audience away had the
doors not been locked, but taking the
whole thing into consideration l think
that those who witnessed the perfor-
nance will be apt to remember it fer
some time.
The continued severity of the weather
has caused people to talk about it in a
most scandalous manner, aud among
other little stories told about the fearful
cold, +. M. Cook said that he had kept
his thermometer hanging on nail on
the side of his house but one night last
wesk the mercury crawled down into
the bulb as far as it could get and then
pulled so hard to get down lower that it
broke the nail it was hanging too, and in
the morning, Mr.. Cook found tho ther-
mometer imbedded in the frozen earth
fully foot and a half and was trying to
get lower when he discovered it. George
Foster says that while coming to Col
gate one morning last week he went to
spit bat tho moment the saliva left his
mouth il frOZe into bullet of ice, and
flying about twenty feet, killed a small
bird that had been summing himself on
the north side Of snow bank | don't
think either Of these gentlemen would
lie, bat | do think they car tell some Of
the most startling truths ever listened
to.
Mort everybody around here are re-
ceiving a visit from their wirc's folks.
This is good thing this weather, as
there is nothing like having it made
warm for you--even by your wife S
mother.
G. L. Williams and 7. M. Cook went

THE ARAB HORSE.
He Has Few Needs and treat Endurance
and Spirits.

He Has Few NeeuS anu oEc~s
and Spirits.
An Arab can not dispense with food
, altogether, like the legendary camel OF
travellers tales, but his needs are Few,
and he will maintain his health ana
spirits under conditions which other
horses would never be able to endure.
Indeed, not only can he put up with
hardships at pinch, but he actually
! ieteriorates, under the generous regi-
men which is considered necessary for
other horses. This has been proved
over and over again by purchasers who
have refused to believe the usual three
feeds OF corn to be supererogatory and
the morning hour OF walking exercise
insufficient There is probably no be-
ing so obstinately conservative as an
English coachman, and even when he
/ finds an Arab grow utterly unman-
ageable, he is not to be convinced that
| the simple cause Is lack of exercise and
exuberance of feeding. The fact is, an
Arab is naturally so high-spirited and
SO difficult to tire that even a single
feed of corn is excessive unless he is
being subjected to exceptionally hard
work. He will answer every require
ment as a hunter If his diet be re-
stricted to hay or even to grass, and in
the summer time he is most satisfac-
tory If he has the run of the paddock,
where he can chose his own food and
exercise. So far, the quality of the
normal Arab in everyday life. What
IA picked horse can do when put upon
his mettle almost battles belief. An
officer, recently returned from the
Soudan, relates that after ride OF
500 miles his horse showed no signs
of work, though he had cast all his
shoes before accomplishing a quarter
of the journey, though many of the
camels had died and the others had
suffered severely. Again, 1t was an
Arab Of 142A which carried ten
lstone six pounds and won a ten-mile
race at Ferozepore in 25 minutes, q
feat of endurance probably unequaiec
in equine annals And Lord Roberts
can bear testimony to the powers Of
the Arab which carried him through
all his campaigns during 25 years, and
alone among the horses OF history
received official authority to wear thu
Afghan medal with four clasps. Sucf
qualities are worth insisting upon a
the war office as short cut to the so
