ber-that's all.
But now look here, figuring there

there are several thousand more)
enough rain fell in Audrain county
last year to bathe the brow of Father
Time each time he has made a round
trip of a year since the birth of Christ
and give him 7OO,636 tons of water for
each bath. There was enough water
fell in this county during the last
year to erect, IL the water could be
soliditied, a monument of water one
foot square and 3ls feet high on each
square mile of the earth's surface.
And then there would be as much
water left over as some people
would care for for drinking purposes.
Let a boy take a water-tight dry
goods box measuring ten feet each
way and allow him ten trips a day and
he would have had to have begun his
task in the year Is, l6O B. c. to have
dipped the county free of the rain
water Of 1900 bynow and he wouldn't
have had time to attend the street
fairs more than once a century either.
The water which fell in Audrain
county last year would till a stream
one foot wide and one foot deep from
Mexico around the world almost as
many times as the Christian era was
old in years when Columbus discover

We all have colds, you can

That's relief. Ifyou tackle
it quick, the relief is quick and

USUAL RESULT.

From the Indianapolis Press.
Us kids, we dassen't make a bit OF
noise around the house,
The hired girl goes at her work as
quiet as a mouse,
Nav gifts about on tiptoe lookin' sor-
ter skeered an white,
The cats hid in the pantry. and he
lives there day an night;
In fact, all Of the family is in a state
of fear,
Fer paw, he quit his ceegars on the
glad New Year.
When / come home from school last
night l guess l slammed the door,
Fer paw flew right up in the air, and
let out such a roari
He slammed his paper on the floor and
wildly grabbed his hair,
An says to me: what do you meanY
this amt no wild beast lair!"
Just then the trolly went a-past, the
driver kicked his gong;
An the Willieboy who lives next door
set up a ragtime song;
An paw looked like a wild man, while
he ground his teeth SO hard,
That on my word they must have heard
him clear to the next yard.
| guess that paw amt feelin' good
since he gave up his smoke,
Fer paw, that used TO be so gay, and
always have his joke,
Now says this worlds vale of woe,
without bit OF cheer,
Since he went and quit his seegars on
the glad New Year.
