Mrs. G.. f. Dick nson and w.

Mrs. Oscar Bidwell lost pair
of glasses in one of DR.. Gault's
cases the other day in the city or
on the road between the Bidwell
farm and town. Finder will be
rewarded by leaving same at the
postoffice for her.
An excellent remedy against
the freezing of store windows is an
application of mixture consisting
of tifty-fve grams of glycerine dis
solved in one liter of 81 per cent
alcohol, containing, to improve the
odor, some oil of amber AS soon
as the mixture clarifies, it is rubbed
over the inner surface of the glass.
This treatment, it is claimed not
only prevents the formation Of
frost, but also stops sweating.
Hard times are predicted, but
the farmers will not be effected.
A man On a quarter section of land
and out Of debt, need not trouble
himself about the future. His in
come may be slightly diminished
during hard times when prices take
a tumble; but his soil will not
produce less, his COWS will not fail
to give the same amount of milk
and his chickens lay the same num-
Der of eggs. His family need not
be robbed of a single comfort. The
man on a farm is prince among
men.
1T is only when one stops to
thing of the great blessing the rural
free delivery is, comparing condi-
tions now with what they we're be-
fore the service was established, that
one can realize how much of a
benefit is conferred upon country
people by the rural delivery system.
If there is one department Of the
government that should be en-
couraged it is that which gives
country people daily mail. It is
that department which more than
any other will solve the question of
keeping the boys on the farm.
Reports at Baraboo, where the
Ringing circus has it's winter quar-
tiers, are to the effect that the five
owners, brothers, pocketed $50, 1000
each as the profits of the past sea-
son. They all have handsome
homes and the one whose place is
the most modest is now seeking to
sell in order to build on a larger
scale. One of the boys whose beau
tiful home is pitched high on hill
side for slightly effect, has nearly
completed during the past few
weeks S., 900 retaining wall about
his sloping lawn, while another has
put several thousands into a con-
servatory. The season just closed
has been the best they ever had.
There it no use worrying or
fretting because some one found
fault with you. It is the common
lot Of men in business. The merch-
ant does not please all customers
the postmaster is cuffed and kicked
because of alleged mistakes, the
butcher is forever reminded Of his
tough beef steak and the minister
finds it hard to please all his con-
gregation with his sermons. The
newspaper man gets more than his
share of it and is expected to get
out a cheerful paper just the same.
A man may be another's friend for
years and is turned down and
abused; things are not always
pleasant, and they doubtless al
ways will be so, and the easiest way
is to pay the least attention to them
and go right along trying to be
pleasant and useful.
Occasionally we fail to please
some fellow and he kicks. 1t is
easy to kick. 1t is hard to please
everyone. The Savior couldn't do
it. How can a man hope to do
what he couldn't? For the benft
of the kickers we quote the words
of fellow newspaper man: The
newspaper has the entire public
to deal with. 1t is criticised on all
occasions. 1t has to deal with all
classes in the community and to
do this succe ssfully requires judg-
ment and patience. The publisher
spends his money to further these
projects and the community gives
little thought to the matter of cost
to him. Every community needs
good newspapers and the way to
have them is to assist in making
the business profitable. The news
paper wants every concern to
prosper. 1t is only just that this
