Education Association, small Gagged
animals-types OF classes. such. as the
lizard. parrot, carrier pigeon. guinea
pig, raccoon, rabbit, snake. turtle and
toad--are lent every fortnight for use

from dealers who happen to have chill
dren OF their own in the school to take
care OF them- This rs the only oppor-

lReLANO's BIG WIND.
Blew the Paint on buildings and Drove
Straws through Oak thanks.


Jan. o, was the sixty-first anniver-
sary of the big wind IN Ireland. ;"
There have been othe, big wi1ds. but
there II, ver was che tat Cqualled the
first one. Births. marriages and deaths
are fixed Lefore and after this big wind,
and there never was a true-b born hish
man who has not heard of the night
of the Zig wind"
Many ale have been told about this
hurricane. According to the REALTORS
il came up about 9 O'Clock at night.
IL came like a summer b. e re- but in
very short time it became furious.
Some Of the simple peop.e OF Ireland
said 1t was the work of the fairies, who
had become displeased at the people.
So they crawled under tie bed and low
cred themselves in wells to escape the
fury of the elements. The next morn
ing they came out to see what the
fairies had done. They said they
found that every haycock in Ireland
had blown down. They found that
straw had been driven through oak
boards Gs clean as a carpenter would
drive a nail, and there are some who
declare that a stone as big as a
freight car had been blown seven
miles from its resting place. They
found that the waters had been dashed
INTO such terrible state that huge
whales were lying upon the shores OF
the lakes, and that sharks and small
fish were found in the forests miles
;Iom theT home in the ocean. The
tale is told Of the sailors who became
bhipwrecked, and landed on the back
of a whale supposed 10 be an island,
and the wind carried whale and sal
ors to a place of safety Every clock
IN the public steeples was stopped. and
The wind blew the whistles on the,
boats anchored at the wharves without
an ounce OF steam showing on the
gauge. The people who remember this
terrible wind tell how II carried the
swords Of the knights and Lords from
tie seab0ards and left the powdered
hair Of the Queen as natural as the da
she was born, and they say that tn
paint was removed from the barn
leaving The boards as Lare as the da.
they came from the forest, and rCchs
were carried from Mount Chevalier TO
the town, seven mi es away. Others
say the bells in the churches and
schoolhouses clattered as they never
clattered before, and chickens were
found the next morning without n
feather in Their tails.
Leaves were found driven into the
trunks OF the trees, and corn was fcuni
cleaned from the cyb on the stalk
Other terrible things happened sixty
one years ago on the night OF the big
wind. -Cinci"nau Enquirer.

About two years ago Arthur Rohrbangh

About two years ago Arthur Rohrbaugh
contested the claim in Foote tow nship on
which he now lives. He won the con-
test and in due course of time the former
entry was cancelled, and MIR. Rohrbaugh
was notified by the local land office that
he would be given 80 days in which to
file the land. He made immediate
settlement OIL the land but failed to file
within the prescribed time, and, in fact,
had not yet filed when few weeks ago
Miss Katie Paris appeared at the Dodge
City land office for the purpose of exer-
cising her homestead rights by filing a
quarter section of government land in
Gray county. The records of the office
showed the land occupied by Rohrbaugh
| TO be vacant, and Miss Paris made formal
entry the tract. not knowing, so che
alleges, that Mr.. Rohrbaugh was living
on it. She claims to have first discovered
this fact when she went to inspect the
land. after the filing had been made.
The situation was explained to Mr.. Rohr-
baugh and the interested parties called on
the land office officials TO see if the mat
ter could not be fixed up in some way.
They were Informed that Miss Paris
could not relinqulsh her claim to the land
without loosing her rights. If the
higher authorities takes the same view
of the case and Rohrbaugh is compelled
to give up the claim it will work severe
hardship upon him, he had resided
upon and improved the land for nearly
two years. and has house, barn and well
on the place. 1t is to be hoped the mat
ter may be amicably and equitably ad-
justed.-Gray County Sentinel.
If Mr.. Rohrbaugh is not already mar
ried man we would suggest that he and
and Miss Paris make matrimonial 'alli-
auce. the hest Nav ont ,,f the flifficu.tv
and then both would retain their rights.

is not to be fathered by any certain

be invited to take part in the laudable
work. Several drinking men have
already signified their intention of join

power to make success OF the work.
