Considering that he is an amateur,
that Wichita lfar who tells about cold
weather on the border in early days is
not without talent. He says that 40
years ago he was freighting west of
Salina when a blizzard came on. He
was driving IA horse and a mule and
the mule froze stiff in the harness,
while the horse came through all
right. As for himself, lie kept walk
ing around to keep his blood in circu-
lation. Every few minutes as he
moved along, he came across a buffalo
lying in the snow. The buffalo was
chilled and they didn't want to stir,
SO he had to kick each one few min
utes in order to get it TO move out of
his way. Kicking buffalo to make
them move reminds us of a good old
plains story which has been told on
divers of western boys. A young fell
low was paying Illicit attentions to a
cattleman's wife. One day hecattle-
man came home and caught the young
fellow in the house. The young fell
low jumped through "a window and
started off on lope, with the cattle
man in pursuit and shooting his pistol
as fast as he could. After the race
had proceeded quarter of a mile a
| jackrabbit jumped up in front of the
young fellow. Great God!' he yelled,
"can't you get out of the way and give
| a man a chance to run."-K. G. jour

| The Kansas City journal says:
Here's Your Fusion Emblem" A
! young lady at Beloit has received
from a friend in Texas a tame civet
cat. That distinguished geological
authority. the Beloit Call, says the
cat resembles a cat and will eat any
thing that a cat will eat" We are
| Informed also by the Call that lit can
bark like dog and new like a cat,''
and that it can move from place to
place with extraordinary rapidity.
| And right here, it seems to US, the
| fusion forces of Kansas find solution
TO one of the puzzling problems. The
fusi, n forces have long been in search
of "a device to place at the head of
their election ticket. BY all means
let them select the civet cat. Any
thing that can bark like dog and
NEW like IA cat. and which can skip
from place to place with great rapidi-
ty, will represent the fusion cause
with marvellous ndelity.

to keep the school officers of the state
informed on matters relating to the du-
ties of such officers.
Goodwin is soon to have complete

sentiment of the residents is in favor
of constructing the proposed water
works plant at the earliest possible
date.
F, Last year the residents OF Vienna
made public and private improvements
to the value of $4,000, which was
thought good considering the size Of
the town. With the start made this

would double in value those of last
year.

unevenly, but that the rain Will be the
means of bringing along other seed.
Reports received from all portions

effect that the rain was general over a
wide territory. Trainmen arriving on
Illinois Central and Burlington trains
report the storm extending we'll down
into Iowa.
Seeding was completed in the SOUTH
ern part Of the state, and the northern
part was we'll along, so that the rain
Will prove to be worth many thousands
OF dollars to the farmers OF the state.
Alpena, S. D., April 2S-A heavy rain
fell all day yesterday. This will de-
lay seeding again, but most of the
wheat and other small grains are
planted and the farmers are pleased
at this rain, for it will give that Which
is already planted a good start. The
pastures have improved wonderfully
since the last rain, and this will help
them considerably.

SOUTH DAKOT.,

Philadelphia Record: It has lately
been discovered that the famous perox-
ide solution will whiten teeth. The ai.-
sovery Is, indeed, one of great value in
dentistry. The nerves of teeth have
frequently to be killed and theS teeth
then often turn black. If they are in
the front of the mouth they make a
considerable Disagreement, and in the
past this could only be corrected by
Gaping them with porcelain or with
gold. But now they may be bleached
to thSswhiteness of snow. Little holes
are bored in them and the bleaching
solution is injected, q small quantity at
Il time. The first application makes
the black tooth's edges pale. The sec
ond spreads the pallor, and the fourth
or fifth completes the operation.
Thanks to this new treatment it is
now no longer necessary for anyone to
have yellow or brown teeth.
