full decorations of autumn leaves
and flowers both in the chapel and
dining room.

Two old cronles of this city sent
their wives to visit relatives in
nearby towns recently. In order
to feel at ease as to their hubbys'
conduct, a solemn promise had
been made and kept that the men
should write every evening. This
was done in the Office of a friend
who possessed. typewriter (ma-
chine.) The object of using the
machine was: A piece of carbon
paper frequently allowed of max
ing two letters at one impression, !"
and when the hands and heads
of the men we're not steady, the
typewriter characters would not
divulge .he fact. The owners Of
the machine thought the wives
should know of the hilarious state
in which their husbands spent the
evenings, so with a few manip-
ulations, unknown to the two
chums, he transposed the char
acters sc" and SKI on the type
writer and awaited results. It
was just getting dark when the
two chums, perfectly sober, came
in. mo need of a light" said

Charley Burrows came home
from Canada Wednesday to eat
a square meal and reel OF stories
about the weather. The other day
when the cold snap struck up there
Charley was out on a mans farm
setting up a binder and the fellow
owned a good sized pond on his
place where ducks congregated in
large numbers. Charley arose
quite early and went out to the
pond and the sight that met his
gaze was enough to rattle game
warden. The pond had frozen
over with the ducks in it, and they
we're completely penned in with
their feet beneath the ice He
went back to the house and pro-
Cured a pair Of skates and a club,
returned to the pond and skated
around knocking the ducks and
geese over and afterwards chopped
them out with an ak. By actual
count ne slaughtered GIL. The
farmer told Charley about getting
476 with two barrels of shot gun
a month before on the same pond.
Tt was covered over so thickly with
ducks one morning that you
couldn't see the water. This was
the only means of securing water
for the stock on the place so the
farmer went out with his gun and
blazed away into the flock. The
ducks arose and not one was left
on the surface of the water. His
wonderment knew no bounds as
it seemed impossible that not one
of the great flock was injured.
He looked up and just then the
flock began to scatter and 476
dead birds tumbled from the air.
They we're packed SO closely in
the pond that live birds had to
take the dead up when they arc Sc.
Our old friend, Anton Schmitt,
was in Milwaukee last week to see
the state fair and they are telling
some awful stories about him
which are hard to believe. The
first thing he did after leaving the
hotel where he was registered
was to slip on banana peel.
AS he picked himself up a small
boy ran up to him and asked him
to do it over again, as his mamma
hadn't seen him.. But our old
friend refused and went into a
department store where he bought
something with a $40 bill. When
the clerk put the money in a cash
carrier and started it towards the
desk Mr.. Schmitt thought it was
bunco game and chased the little
box as far as he could see it, and
then started out to find a police
man. He got his change back all
right, but the short change racket
was worked on him later. He sat
down in a mud puddle on the fair
grounds, spent the rest of his
money on the side shows and then
hiked to the depot, tired, weary
and busted. We cannot believe.
one word of this is true, and it
will probably be denied by our
friend.

More About the FAIR.

The Herald told things about the
county fair in two editions last
week and we believe it was good
enough to talk about in two again
this week. The two good days
carved out for the occasion continue
to be the subject of conversation,
and other fair associations envy
us yet for the bright sunshine and
balmy air the weather man dished
up.
A meeting of the executive COM

section in need of Mr.. Toole's
ministrations and it is proposed
to have matinee at no distant
day when these obstinate equine
subjects may all be treated. Mr..
Toole has signifed his willingness
to be present and take charge of
the patients, and the event will
undoubtedly draw large crowd
of interested spectators.

YELLOW BACK HERO ALIVE.

"Deadwood Dick" the famous hero of yellow back novels, has come out of the obscurity of eighteen years peace ful work on a railroad and is about to accept position as guard in the ex- press cars of. transcontinental train, says the Chicago Tribune.
 This will bring him back, under diff ferent conditions to the life in which he was prominent during border days
 The most of the people who read the "Deadwood Dick" stories, the chief character Is believed either to have been myth or to have been dead for years He has been quietly working for the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad for the last eighteen years, taking a week or so off now and then to go prospecting for gold. ..5
 He will never wear buckskin and high boots again. and he never will ride the pony express across the prai- ries, stopping now and then to rescue maiden in peril Now he wears over alls and handles freight.
 He does not care to talk about the old days. ''No man likes to talk of bloodshed" he said "who has been around where that blood was shed But if any outlaws try to hold up the train I am guarding they will get a taste of what some others got twenty 5vA years ago."

A STORY OF HENRY IRVING.

That Sir Henry Irving is quite able of maintaining his dignity under some what trying circumstances is shown by the following anecdote which is told of the tragedian by O. R. Ken nedy of the "Everyman" company.
 On one occasion Trving's company, having been. called to the theater for rehearsal, foud upon their arrival that they were considerably ahead of time. As Sir Henry had not yet arrived one of the actors in the company, who was noted for his accomplishments as a mimic, proceeded to give a lively and elaborate imitation of Sir Henry's highly characteristic acting. As he finished his demonstration a we'll known voice came from the depths of the darkened auditorium:
 .'very good,' it said. Every good, indeedl So good, in fact, that there is no need for both of us in this com pany."-Harper's Weekly.

TAKE SKIN OFF OF BEANS.

Prominence is given by the depart ment of agriculture to the researches of Prof. Harry Snyder of the Mime sota experiment station in regard to the nutritive value of beans and the scientific method of their preparation for the use of man. An account of Prof Snyder's investigation has been ordinary white navy bean in the dry state contains 22.5 per cent of protein, or muscle and energy; 59.6 per cent of carbohydrates, or heat; 1.S per cent of fat and 12.6 per cent of water.
 Beans are slow of digestion and put a heavier tax on the intestinal tract than almost any other vegetable food.
 There exists some prejudice against beans as staple and regular food, because of their high nitrogen con- tents, and their consequent gaseous characteristics while undergoing di- gestion. This is due to the A per cent of the carbohydrates, represent
