storie, OF London weather

The Manchester Guardian tells a
good story of the weather. The scene
was Strand omnibus. A leaden sky
was overhead, the rain poured down
uncompromisingly. mud was under
foot. A red capped Parsee, who had
been sitting near the dripping driver,
got down as the conductor came up.
'sWhat sort O. chap is that?" asked
the driver. Don't yer know that?"
answered the conductor. why, that's
one O them Indians that worship the
sum-" "Worships the sun?' said the
shtvering driver. II suppose 'es come
over ERE to ave rest!'
This recalls the reply given on one
occasion by an eastern potentate to
Queen Victoria, who asked him wheth-
er his people did not worship the sun.

Philosophy OF Eatirue.

''Some may be interested to know
that there Is now almost a new kind
Of philosophy of fatigue" says writer
in Ainslee's. "Sonh spectators think
man became conscious because his in
buttons We're slowed up by exhaustion,
SO that the mind has to pick it's way
slowly and logically instead of divining
instantly, as it used to do. 1t was the
fall Of man. Wilder dreamers have
even described the origin of cosmic gas
and nebuln, from which all the worlds
come, as due to progressive fatigue Of
the ether, which is far more subtle and
back of it. 1t is little as If they We're
attempting to rewr.ite the first phrases
of the Old Testament SO that it should

Man, Woman and Love.

In one of his books Max O'Rell, the
witty Frenchman, gives the following
advice:
IF you are bald, never make love
to woman taller than you. Looked
at from below, you are all right.
"Never let your ladylove see you
without a collar; no-not even the very
wife Of your bosom. A mans head
without a collar is like a bouquet
without holder.
'Never marry woman richer than
you, one taller than you, or one older
than you. Be always gently superior
to your wife in fortune, in size and in
age, so that in every possible way she
may appeal to you for help or protec-
ton, either through your purse, your
strength or your experience in life
Marry her at an age that will always
enable you to play with her all the
different characteristic parts Of a hus-
banda chum, lover, an adviser, q
protector and just tiny suspicion Of
q father"

Beliefs About the Rainbow.

! In many countries the rainbow Is
spoken of as being great bent pump
pr Ephon tube, drawing water from
thu earth by mechanical means. In
parts Of Russia, in the Don country,
and also in Moscow and vicinity it is
known by a name which is equivalent
to 'the bent water pipe" In nearly
all the Slavonic dialects it is known by
terms signifying "the cloud slphon,"
and in Hungary it is 'the pump"
''Noah's pump" and Goods pump"
The Malayan natives call it by the
same name that they do their banded
water cobra (necheta), only that they
add 'bobo" meaning double headed),
the equivalent in our language being
the double headed watersnake." They
tell you that the bow is real thing of
life, that it drinks with It's two mouths
and that the water is transferred to the
clouds through an opening in the upper
side of the center Of the great arch.
In the province of Charkoy, Russia,
the rainbow is said to drain the wells,
and to prevent this many are provided
with heavy, tight fitting stone plat
forms. In the province Of Saratoy the
bow is said to be under control of
three angels, one of whom pumps the
water, the second feeds the clouds
and the third sends the rain.

CATTLE FEEDING DEVICE.
Inventors Plan Is to Feed sprouted
Corn to the Stock

Inventors Plan Is to Feed Sprouted
Corn to the Stock.
''It will revolutionize the business Of
feeding cattle and make meat cheaper
and better than ever before, besides
saving millions Of dollars to stock
men," said recently an attorney who is
interested in the invention Of John
Hammer for the economical feeding
and fattening of cattle, according to a
Chicago dispatch to the New York
Herald.
''The invention is not In theoretical
stage" he continued, "but has been
given practical tests which prove that
1t will do all that is claimed for it
make bushel Of corn go as far as two
bushels now go in the fattening Of
stock"
Hammers device consists of large
galvanized iron case, with drawers, to
serve as receptacles for shelled corn,
each drawer having a capacity Of half
a bushel. On the top and on four sides
of the case is placed common moss,
such as may be gathered in the woods.
Lie luOSS is Three Inches lulck anu is
compressed so as to form a huge
sponge for the retention of water. 1t
is thoroughly dampened, and in this
moist atmosphere the corn begins to
sprout almost Immediately. In four
days the hard grain is converted into
a mass of tender sprouts, fed by the
softened pulp. 1t is then ready for
feeding to live stock or poultry. The
claims made for this process are:
1t increases the weight by the growth
of the grain up to 100 per cent; rem
ders grain wholly digestible and nutri-
tive; brings to the grain by chemical
changes valuable food elements not
otherwise obtained; aids digestion of
other foods with which the grown
grain comes in contact; supplies the
best tonic that can be given to ami
mails; converts corn, the great stock
feeding material, into the ideal food
for poultry and all young growing
stock, and supplies at all seasons of the
year food to all animals which is
the equivalent of the nutritious pas
lures of summer.

Misses Elizabeth and Elite Spencer
drove to Adair one day this week to
meet their relatives, Mr.. Frank Warm
er and wife and their daughter Cath
airline Warner, who came home with
them and visited at the George Spen-
Ger home, east of the Station beyond
Creamery Hill until Friday when
they returned to their home at Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
The pig trade has been unusually
active at the Station the past week
and Buyer Peter Nelson has kept the
path from the elevator to the stock
yards hot. Frank Duvall, over in
Greeley township brought in fifty
head, P. H. Anderson sold eighteen
head and there were so many small
punches that Mr.. Nelson was enabled
to ship four car loads to the Omaha
market.
We paid our annual visit to Mr.. j.
q. Moore's apple orchard, on the hill,
a little way west of the Station, last
Tuesday forenoon. We did not find
Mr.. Moore about the house but with
the kind permission of Mrs. Moore
went down in the orchard and very
pleasant sight met our eyes in the
shape of the famous Duchess apples
of which we gathered a goodly store
which will keep the wolf from the
door for several days.
Last Friday evening as Doctor
Glea on, of Audubon, was riding
along the highway that leads past the
George Spencer farm, in buggy, he
encountered Tom Lee riding in lum-
Der wagon that contained some hogs
and in a moment there was an una
voidable crash and the Doctors bug
gy was badly wrecked and thrown
into the ditch and against the sheep
wire fence. Fortunately no one was
hurt in the least.
At the meeting of the Modern
Woodmen of America Lodge, No.
