points to see streaks 60 by;
when if our eyes were open and quick
enough, we could see them right here
at home. Jerry Paisley's mare has
struck gait of going that's fast enough
for us. It's a one-fourth mile in 33
seconds, or 2:12 clip. That rate means
around the world in 1000 hours, and
just now it would be nice gait to get
through China safely.

In business way we called on Low
ell Monroe this week, and found him
exceedingly thankful
A Wider that it was fine day.
Curiosity led us to
Door Needed. prod around for the
cause of his devout
feelings. 1t was soon explained to us.
He had pair of shoes to sole that day
so large that he must needs take them
outdoors to do it, hence the desire for
fair day. We thought he was joking,
but when he showed us the shoes we
knew he was sincere. It's been many
long day since we haye seen so large
pair, if ever. Unless the owner wears
multiple socks, his understanding must
be immense. If his soul is as large as,
and proportioned to, his soles, then the
old gate keeper Will have to cut out
the jambs to let him squeeze into the
kingdom.

The L. S. government statistics show
that 312 persons are annually killed by
lightning. This gives
Love and 3l2 chances in about
$4,000, 900. The same
Lightning. source CT informa-
ton reveals the fact
some $500 people have been transferred
to the other side by this agency in the
past years in this country alone. The
statement is also made that the danger
is not near so great in cities as in the
open country, and that far the largest
portion of the killed are farmers in the
rural regions. On the basis of this table
about 400 out of each 100 ,000, 900 are
annually killed by lightning. This is
about 5000 for the whole world each
year. The chances for each of us in
this country are very small, being but
1910, 900 of one percent. If we take
the statistics of marriage we find the
chances are 100, 900 times greater for
being struck by loye than lightning.
It's somewhat like the old puzzle
about the fox, goose, and corn, and
just as puZzling,

it's drake and
Corn Puzzle. not q goose. Ell.
Drake has bought
the house where Delos Zavlts now lives;
ZaYits wants to move into the house in
which VIM. Saville now is; Saville de-
sires to move into the one now occupi-
ed by DR.. V. A. Lacy; and Lacy can't
move until Drake does, and Drake
can't till Zayits gets out, and Zayits
can't till Saville goes, and he must
wait for Lacy-the chains endless and
the circle compound. Lacy don't wish
to crowd Drake with the law--for Drake
has whole arsenal of that on his side
and being drake he can't be drown
ed. If Zavits crowds Sayille he'll get
rubbed; and Lacy is prepared for
pull at any hour. It's pickle of pie
and no mistake. 1t may be solvable,
but not by us. The only way we can
suggest Is to have an old time Irish evic-
ton, set the goods of all outside before
breakfast, and let them spend the day
in seeking their own hives. We'd most
heartily commend this plan did we
not fear a sad mix-up of wives and ba-
bies and other live stock.
