The misletoe, under which every
American has recently done his duty,
comes chiefly from Brittany. Some
700 tons of the charming white
berried plant are exported from
French ports. This misletoe is to the
Breton what the pig is to the Irish
man-it pays the rent. The peasants
of Normandy and Brittany cultivate
the parasite on their apple trees
contrary to popular belief, it rarel y
grows on Oakland it forms their
most profitable crop. A few years
ago the French Department of Agrl.
culture decreed the obstruction of all
misletoe on the ground that it in
iured the apple trees. The peasants,
however, denied the impeachment,
and as the order is not enforced, they
grow and export more "gui" than
ever for the Christmas enlivenment OF
English and American homes.

Dislocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna SoderhoIm, of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and disIocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that be
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her a bottle
of it, which he did. Itquickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with
the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many
Others.

The LIQUOR issue.

Editor News AND CITIZEN
l wish to express a few thoughts
through the columns of your paper,
in appreciation of the high-license-
local-option law that the legislature
enacted last fall. The law contem-
plates that all towns in the State
may have seven grades of licenses, il
they choose, whereby we may OBJ
tain liquors to produce that glorious
fiddle so many of us enjoy.
No. 1 license: You can get all kinds
of liquors, but they must be drank on
the premises.
No. 2. You can get what you want
to carry away,
No. 8. You can get cider, malt
wines or any kind that does not con.
tain more than fifteen per ct. alcohol
No. 4. If you wish to expand, you
can get it by the barrel.
No. 5. Go to the doctor and for a
dollar you can get prescription and
get what you want of druggist.
No. 6. You can get what you
want of all kinds.
No. 7. You can get Is per cent
spirit and be happy.
What a glorious law! We can
keep that pleasing fuddle in our
heads all the time, and the grandest
provision in the law is where they
license hotels and druggists to sell
liquor every day in the year, Sundays
not excepted and on legal holidays
and election days.
Oh! the depth of wisdom and
knowledge that was developed in
our last legislature. 1t took the
combined force of 146 members and
80 senator's to enact this high-h-
cense local option law,
If Clement and his colored band
and with the best rum counsel in the
State, had travelled five years they
could not have formulated a law
that would suit the rum lovers OF
this State any better than this one,
Now if the voters of this State
will vote eyes" to this high-license
law, that the wisdom of our last
legislature has placed before us, |
shall think the millennium has come
or is coming right away. The old
demon, prohibition, will be chained
so tight that he cannot wiggle, and
all the rumsuckers will be happy.

The Oil Wouldn't Run.

During James Towns vacation
from his duties on FL. A. Slayton &
Co.'S. Standard Oil wagon, one of
Morrisville's wellknown citizens con-
sented to fill the vacancy, which he
did more or less successfully. His
first trip was not particularly a sue
cess unless the valuable experience is
considered. The trip was to Crafts
bury and an early start brought the
outfit to No. Wolcott early in the
day. The first customer was reached
and upon turning the faucet, as pre-
viously directed, the novice was sur
prised to find that the oil failed to
"ooze." The extremely cold weather
gave the driver a cue and he rushed
to nearby house and negotiated for
enough hot water to thaw the
darned thing out" and several pail
fuls were poured onto the faucet.
Hot applications failing to give re-
lief consultation was held with
some of the wise men of the town and
it was decided that the tank was
empty. Such was the case.
