A HOT STORY.
From the La Cross Democrat" "

the house until last Saturday. Have
always used pine slabs and pieces of
our neighbours fence. They burn we'll
too, but the fence got all burned up,
and the neighbor said he wouldn't
build q new one so we went down to
Jones and got coal stove. 1t is
called the Radiant Home," il manu-
tactured by Black & Germer, OF Erie,
Pa, and any man that says we didn't
have a radiant home at our house for
about four hours last Saturday night,
is Republican and a villain. You
see we didn't know anything about
coal stoves. We filled the Radiant
Home about half full of pine fence,
and, when the stuff got we'll to going,
we filled the artesian we'll on top with
coal. It simmered and sputtered
about five or ten minutes, and all went
out. and we put on an overcoat and q
pair of buckskin mittens and ''went
out TOTO supper. We remarked
in the course of the frugal meal that
Jones was ''froad'' for recommend
ing such a confounded refrigerator TO
man to get warm by. After supper
we took q piece Of ice and rubbed our
hands warm, and went in where that
stove was, resolved to make her draw
and burn If it took all the pine fence
in the First Ward. Our better half
threw a quilt over, and shiveringly
remarked that she never knew what
real solid comfort was until she got
a coal stove. Stung by the earcasm
in her remark, we turned every dingus
on the stove that was movable, or
looked like it had ANYTHING to do with
a draft. and pretty soon the Radiant
Home began to heave up heat. 1t was
not long before she suffered like
the new Silsby steamer. Talk
about your heat! In ten minutes that
room was much worse than Turkish
bath as Hades is hotter than Liver
mans ice house. The Precipitation
fairly fried out of a tin water cooler
in the next room. We opened the
doors, and snow began to melt as far
up Vine Street as Hanscomb's house,
and people all round the neighbor-
hood put on linen clothes. And we
couldn't stop the corfouuded thing.
We forgot what Jones told US about
The dampers and she kept billing.
The only thing we could do was to go
to bed and leave the thing to burn the
house up if it wanted to. We stood
off with pole and turned the damder
every way and. at every turn she just
sent out heat enough to roast an OK.
Went to bed, supposing that the coal
would eventually burn out, but about
twelve O'Clock the whole family had to
get up and sit on the fence. Finally.
a man came along who had been
brought up among coal stoves, and
he put wet blanket over him and
crept up to the stove and turned the
proper dingus and she cooled of, and
since that time has been just as COM
Portable as possible. IT you buy q
coal stove you want to learn how to
engineer it, or you may get roasted.

A Patent Hole.

OF the many extraordinary things for
which patent protection has been
granted q hole seems to be the most
useless and impossible. Yet there are
many patents for holes. and. what is
more. the patents are valid and yalu-
able. One of the best relates to holes
in ships bottoms for the admission
and escape Of water to the condensers.

We don't always recognize q good
thing when we see it. Farmers who
didn't want &C to 20 cents for their po-
tatoes may take considerable less. At
this writing we are only offered 4Oc

Flax is yielding we'll, and even at
81 30 is a fair price. The scarcity of
cars and nervousness of the market
entitle the elev ator companies to

most too much to allow them.
Rev. Brastad of the Children's
Home preached here Sunday to full
house. Contributions of cash and
pledges amounted to $27 80. We have
an idea that we can raise that to the
neighborhood of $40.
Quite few machines were running
Sunday. ID view of the amount there
is still to thresh and Of the unsettled
weather, we don't think anyone need
have word of censure.

The farmer who gets northern for
his wheat is in great luck. There is
now more northern than anything
else.
We are very glad to state that the
report of small pox at John Francis
was without other foundations than
that one of the boys was poisoned by
bathing in stagnaut water. AT the
same time there are 5000 known cases
in the northwest to 5000 last year and
you had better vaccinate.
We want 1000 bushels potatoes, but
at present don't want them at much
over 40c.
From the way it is offered we Judge
that we could furnish anybody that
wanted it, about IL cars of millet
seed.

Texas Oil at the Worries Fair.


St. Louis, Dec. 5.-Fuel oil from
the wells Of Texas will probably
be used under the boilers of the
big power plant Of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to be held
in st. Louis in 1903. Tie Direc-
tor of Works OF the Exposition is
looking into the feasibility OF
using Texas oil instead Of soft
coal, which supplies very nearly
all the fuel for the big factories
OF ST. L"niS. II tho expense Of
the fuel oh, either ia tir-t cost or
IN ccsl OF transportation, is not
pr0hlbltlNe IL viii De used.
COL has vast advantages over
soft coal DIS fuel" says Director
Of Works Taylor. ''Its principal
advantage for exposition uses,
where cream white is the color of
the buildings, is That itdoes away
with the Hll-aoiiing sooty smoke
which bltumin0us coal produces.
1t also eliminates the dust pro
du, ed in handling soft coal and
the ashes from it.
coli can be transported into
grounds in Il Pipe line. This
obviates the necessity for Il rail
way switch into the grounds for
handling ashes ana coal. It does
away with fire men, coal passers
and ash haulers. l { obviates the
necessity of banking fires durinG

fire can be exiting aisned and rails

bly, short titne.
81 have received propositions
from several large hanulers OF
Texas oil. looking to the use OF
that fuel. If we can make suit
able arrangements for transports

ADVERTISING THE CONGRESS.
Worlds Greatest Gold Camp VIII
Welcome Delegates to the
Trans Mississippi Com.
mercial Congress.

The local executive committee of
the Trans Mississippi Commercial
Congress entertainment committee
has perfected plans for royal enter
tainment for the congress, in session
in Cripple Creek July 1921, 1901.
These are upon the theory that there
will be at least 1000 delegates with
their wives, and arrangements are be-
ing completed for the comfortable
entertainment of 10000 strangers.
The Cripple Creek district will be
drawn upon for accommodation, and
with Colorado Springs. Manitou,
Florence and Canon City, with special
trains making the trip in less than
two hours, no apprehension is felt
over adequate accommodations for
the crowd, no matter how large. The
railroads and the people of the near
by cities have offered to cooperate
to make the sojourn of the congress
"a bowling success" Commodious
headquarters have been opened up
for the various departments, inciden-
tai to the work and for the head
quar- ters of the national executive
committee. From the local head
quarters within the next few weeks
will go out thousands of pieces of ad-
vertising matter, each one pertaining
to the congress and to the Cripple
Creek district. The entire western
country will be flooded with this litera-
ture. Later on these offices will be
a hive of activity with the constant
meetings of the numerous sub-com-
mittees and the clerks of each de-
partment receiving names of delega-
tions and the work incident to hous-
ing them over the district. 1t will
be the headquarters of thousands of
strangers. 1t was in view of the
tremendous amount of work that
these were selected in the business
center of the city within a short
distance of all the depots.

Pueblo, the Little Pittsburg' of

as manufacturing center. To its
present large industries will soon be
added that of manufacturing sheet
iron, tin and wire. AS all the mate
rials used in their production is pro-
duced in this state, it will mean the
employment of large force of extra
men by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company. One in authority speaking
of new industries, says: I'VE intend
to manufacture here all kinds of wire
and sheet goods, barbed wire and
galvanized fencing of every kind;
netting, tin roofing and tinware of
all varieties, sheet iron and sheet
steel, all to be made of Colorado ma
terials, as the zinc for galvanizing is
plentiful, besides the iron ore, coal,
coke and manganese.
