SCRUBBED HIS BROTHER.
In His Anxiety to Secure q FREQ Dime
Took the Skin on.

In His Anxiety to Secure a FREQ Dinner
Took the Skin on.
Philanthropic young ladies all over
the city are deeply interested in the
good work done for the poor at Hull
house, and many of them take an active
part in the work. A number of young
ladies in Kenwood have taken a small
store near the institution and there
they take turns at noon every day in
dealing out one-cent lunches to the
ragged children of the neighborhood.
The soup is bought from the Hull
house and served to the hungry young
sters after they have been made to
wash their faces and hands. The ven
ture has been very successful and scores
of famished children patronize the
place every day with their pennies, in
spite of the washing regulations. They
are so hungry for the steaming soup
and coffee that they willingly use the
soap and water first. Occasionally the
young lady in charge superintends
| these additions, but oftener the big
sisters of the little tots do the work
themselves. The other day small boy
came in with two pennies in one grimy
hand and the pudgy fist of a baby
brother in the other. Both were hun
cry.
"You must wash your faces and
hands before you eat," said the young
lady in charge, kindly
Eyes, 'um," said the larger boy. II
kin wash mesef an Jimmy here, too."
The fashionable young lady, think
ing to make her charges cleaner than
those of 'the other girls" had brought
with her very stiff nail brush, and
when she led the two youngsters into
the Mushroom she asked the larger bow
if he knew it's use.
eyes, 'um," he said, and she left
them, returning to the hungry ones at
the table outside.
After awhile she thought of the two
boys in the washroom and wondered
why they had not come out. She tip
toed in to investigate and found Jim
my" struggling in his brothers grasp.
| The latter had soaped the stiff nail brush
thoroughly and was gradually remov-
ing the cuticle from "Jimmy's" face
with it, despite his struggles. The
young lady went to the rescue, explain
ing the use of the brush, and led the
two out to dinner, to which Jimmy"
did full justice in spite of his new face.
When they left heyoung lady said:
''Tell your mamma to put cold cream
or camphorated vaseline on your face,

Fish Living In Hot Water.

There is pond at Golconda which is
fed by the waters from the hot springs.
This pond has an area Of two or three
acres, and the temperature of the wa
ter is about Is degrees, and in some
places where the hot water bubbles up
from the bottom the temperature is al
most up to boiling point. Recently a
discovery has been made that this
warm lake is literally alive with carp,
some Of which are more than one foot
dong. All efforts to catch them with a
hook and line have failed, and they
will not touch the most tempting bait.
A few of them have been shot, and,
contrary to the general superstition, the
flesh was hard and palatable.

Fred Schenk spent Sunday in

The children of the backward

the lower school district No. -,
Sunday evening and there will be
services next Sunday forenoon
when a Sunday school will also be
organized. A silver collection

Surveyor Mcclellan and assist
ants have been busy this week lay

to get their wood to the track at
any time of the year.
The members of Greenwood
League will engage in an intel
lectual wrestle or debate next Sat-
urday evening at it's customary

convince others equally brany that
whatever is is right and warm
time is looked for.
Mr.. Polsfus will have his inning

pathmaster is a good and efficient
