Needs No Pity.

Don't pity the country editor.
He is as contented as a COW pulled
up by eating too many rose ger
aniums. Pray for the spindle
shanked gazabo that is living the
strenuous life in the metropolis He
needs it.
Don't lose any sleep over the
Rube who edits your home paper.
He may not know a panegyric from
a misfit formula for making apple
butter, but he knows a hypocrite
when he sees one, and dares call
him so to his face.
He probably eats with a knife
and wears undershirts with slivers
N em, but no domineering manag-
ing editor can make him eat dirt.
To be poked fun at by the city
brother when his paper announces
to the world in a flourish of long
primer that Isl" Green's choicest
bull calf choked itself to death on
'baga," doesn't ruff1e him a
particle, for he rests assured in the
consciousness that it will please
Isl" and doesn't hurt the city chap,
who wouldn't know a rutabaga
from a Greek god.

Letters to the Herald.

Mrs. Henry Irish, Drexel, Mo-,
writes of pleasant event as fol-
lows: A reunion of Wisconsin
friends was held at our home re-
Gently. The day was as fine as
can be here when it doesn't rain,
and at 9 a. m. our friends began to
arrive. We were glad to have
them come and all seemed pleased
to gather with us. All our Wis
consin colony were with us but one
Mrs. VIM. Kerr, who has gone
home. How we miss her. All say
they could not do without the
Grant County Herald. it is like a
letter twice a week from a dear
friend, and we are sure of it.
Letters do not always come when
expected.
We talked of the old home and
the friends there, neighbors of
former days. August Kohlenberg
told story which was enjoyed.
We voted that Missouri will be THE
place where we get our homes inn
proved in Wisconsin style. The
day passed quickly and all went
home happy.
Those present with us on the oc-
casiop were Thos Terrell and
family; August Kohlenberg and
family; Joe Muench; Mr.. and Mrs.
Lou Garner and baby Elizabeth;
Barney Kerr and family; Peter
Ohlert and family; Willie Kerr.
This constitutes our Wisconsin
colony. After planning for an
other reunion at Mr.. Ohlert's our
guests departed for their homes.
We have the best of neighbors
here and are growing to love them,
but the old-time friends are as yet
nearer and dearer than the new
ones.
Mrs. Will Irish of Fond du Lac
has the thanks of the editor for
kind words and liberal remittance.
Their address is 100, Eighth st.
DR.. G. L. Belscamper, prosperous,
dentist at ST. Charles, Mimi,
remembers the Herald with a
generous payment on subscription,
and says: II expect to favor your
paper with a write-up of South
western Minnesota soon If I can
find time to do so. The Herald has
improved immensely"

Why is gold so rare? Simply because
II is heavy. There are only two metals
that are heavier namely, platinum and
iridium. Remember that at the begin
ming the earth was Il body OF gas. BY
gradual condensation 1t became liquid
while now the whole Of its mass save
only an outer crust much thinner IN
proportion TO the Whole bulk than Is tie

the fact that II IL held together by ire.

composing the globe gathered about
that center. Accordingly we find that
the earth as Whole weighs five times

forming the crust are only about two
and half times as heavy us water.

to have two holes. one on each side of

There are ways OF punching the holes
