word the sailor had said about jolly
Land and its queer people, and of

performance. offers to run on stills
against any one in the audience. The
clowns opponent is, of course. not
expected to wear stills. During the
race the clown takes steps from
twelve to fifteen feet long and usually
wins from his rival with yards to
spare.
Aside from racing there are many
tests to try the skill of any one VINO
processes to know how to walk on
stills, as, for instance, the trick of
taking one silt off and putting 1t on
again or bending down and picking
something from the ground without
tipping over. '.--
The performance on stIlts which a
clever clown can give is rather DIFF
ferent from the work Of an ordinary
boy, but there are some boys who can
faily out-do a clown, for stills are
a boys own peculiar treasure and II
is hard to beat a boy at his owr
game.

A CHRISTMAS SENSATION

Sunday night before Christmas, Oliver
Bush, Jim Arrassicks and several others
were over to Sam Young's and it is sup
posed they were playing cards when
something occurred to arouse the tight
ing blood of Bush and he struck at Sam
Young with a bottle and Jim caught his
arm, which act caused Bush to turn on
Jim and in the curse of a few minutes
Bush was ready to quit, after being
badly whipped. Nevertheless he made
brags that Arrassicks would be a dead
man inside of eight days. Accordingly on
Wednesday Bush came to town ready to
keep his word and watching a chance
called him out and politely knocked him
through a window of Shorts store, and
while Arrassicks was satisfying Samp
Oliver stepped up and stabbed him in
the head and over the left eye with a
knife. At this iuncture the old man
Bush put in his appearance also with a
knife drawn and long after Jim had said
enough the Bushes kept on. Mr.. Bush
was put under bonds, but at this writing
Oliver and Samp have not been found.
The sheriff still has a posse hunting for
them. The trial is expected to take
place, tomorrow.
Herb Burtin is in our midst again.
Ben Sibbitt is down from Hayes
county visiting relatives.
Will Wadsworth was in town, We'd
nesday, after an absence of several
months in Oklahoma.
Mrs. Liston and family and Mae Wood

Mr.. Grisell seemed to have temper

and got lost. About a dozen people were
out hunting for him and after a couple
of hours search found him on the creek
north of Mr.. Bakers nearly frozen to
death. Reports say he is some better.

Pleasant Evenings on the Farm.

The long winter evenings are here
again and in most farm houses it is a
question how to spend them in a way
which is not only pleasant, but also that
the time will not be altogether wasted.
The farmer, as a rule, cannot get away
from his work even in reading time and
he enjoys most of all sitting down and
going through afirstclass farm magazine
like the Twentieth Century Farmer.
This is chock full of the ideas of the
brainest men in the country, practical
men, who have been selected as writers
because each in his own line has made a
study of how to make farming pay.
One idea from men like these may be
worth hundreds of dollars to any farmer
or stock raiser.
There is no more wide-awake weekly
magazine published than the Twentieth
Century Farmer and a trial subscription
of three months will be sent on receipt
of % cents, the price per year being 81.
A free sample copy will be sent to any
one sending his name and address to
the Twentieth Century Farmer, 2O57
Farnam street, Omaha, Nebraska.
1t contains from twenty-four to forty

Giles dealing with farming and stock
raising, it has abundant reading matter
in the way of stories and matter inter
esting to the farmers wife and the
children as well.

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which it is
unable to do for itself, even when it is but
slightly disordered or overloaded. Kodol sup
plies the natural juices of digestion and does
the work of the stomach, relaxing the nervous
tension, while the inflammed muscles of
that organ are allowed to rest and heal. Kodo
digests what you eat and enables the stomach
and digestive organs to transform all food into
rich, red blood. Mcconnell & Berry.

disease itself and seem to battle all eff

irritable, and even slight exertion
causes shortness of breath. These are
dangerous symptoms ana indicate that

quickly restore the health after an at
