HOLDS THE BANNER.

We are not given to making much in these
columns of minor achievements of our contempo-
raries, but the extra fire edition of The REDWOOD
GAZETTE was just little ahead of the enterprise
OF many of our exchanges, and is deserving of
mention. 1t contained four full pages with
complete report of the great fire, the losses and
incidents connected Herewith, and all issued and
in the hands of the subscribers the same day the
fire occurred.

Broke its Neck

Willie Griffin of near Shiel,
has all kinds of experiences.
About a year ago, while hunting
with a comrade he was shot in
the arm and tried to hide it, but
by morning had to Tess up, and
he had little private hunt by
his lonesome and in gett ing the
revolver out of his hip pocket,
it went off and the ball lodged
in the flesh under the bosom of
hrs pants. A few days since
he was leading fractions pony
and the beast reared and fell
backward, breaking it's neck
and scattering its brains on the
frozen ground. He isn't sure
what will happen next.

United States Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, at the re-

tional Association of Agricul-
tural Colleges and Experiment
Stations held in Washington,
com menting upon the introduce
tion of agriculture into public
schools, said:
ITO President Jesse, of the
University of Missouri, more
than any other man in America
is due the credit of the wide
spread tie ching of agriculture
in the public schools. He was
the first pre- sident to see that the
introduction Of agriculture into
these schools might be brought
about through teaching it to
teachers, dnd,hence his Univer-
sity was the.frst in America to
offer teachers course in Agri-
culture. To-day his plan has
been adopted Lby almost every
normal school, college and uni
versity in the United States. -

What is the Cure.

THE exposures Of official cor
ruption in ST. LOUIS and Missou-
ri have startled the civilized
world. What are the people of
Missouri going to do about it?
That is the question being ask
ed all over this land to-day.
Have the people of this great
state suffered enough? Will
they longer tolerate the shame
less conditions that have pre-.
vailed? Will they ignore all
the shocking venality and go on
as il nothing bad happened?
Will they refuse to maxi

are you going to do wit h lt?"

true.
What is the remedy? What
in Heavens name must the peo-
pie OF Missouri do to wipe out
the stain that is discussed all
over the land?
What would Mr.. Folk recon.

Who is the Moses Mr.. Folk

A wonderful Memory.

Ross MacGregor, Chiffon, Wis, aged
fourteen, we are told by Chicago pa
per, has learned by rote every word in
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary from
4 to Z, including the definitions, deri-
vatiOns, spelling, pronunciation and
synonyms. Ross entered school when
but three years old and at the age Of
six passed from the kindergarten to the
sixth grade. Mathematics or studies
requiring great mental effort are mas
tered by him with astonishing ease,
and selections of poetry or prose be
come fixed in his mind at a single read
ing. At the age of ten he memoriZed
the whole of Shakespeare's Merchant
of Venice" reciting it without a halt
at the end of two hours study. At n
teachers institute in Chiffon three
years ago, when Ross was eleven. an
instructor read to the assembly a sClec-
ton from Huxley and then unexpected
ly asked If any one present could re-
peat any part Of it from the single
reading. Without faltering or making
the slightest error ROss gave the selec-
ton, much to the surprise Of the in
structor, who then tried him with n
dozen or more extracts from different
authors, with the same result.
Such stories are hard to believe. but
this one comes we'll credited.-Ameri-

EFFICACY OF THE ONION.
Apply IL Outside md Inside and Cure
m Cold

Apply IL Outside md Inside md Cure
n Cold.
The idea of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy of the aesthetic. How
ever, the experience of those who have
tried it is that it works wonders in re-
storing racked system TO its normal
state again. There are three kinds of
doses in the onion cure. or three onion
cures, as you choose to put it. One is Il
diet of onions. the other is onion plas-
tiers and the third is onion strip.
1t is claimed 10y those who believe in
the onion cure that a bad cold can be
broken up if the patient will stay in
doors and feed on liberal diet of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet. but a liberal one. For instance.
an onion cure breakfast includes n
poachcd egg on toast. three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and a cup of coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches, made of BoS-
ton brown bread, buttered and filed
with finely chopped raw onions, sea-
soned with salt and pepper. makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
per the onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with a chop and n
baked potato.
The strange efficacy of onions Is we'll
known to the singers of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality of their voices ana
keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs.
They are made OF fried onions placed
between two pieces of old muslin. The
plaster is kept quite hot until the pa
tient is snugly In bed, when it is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onion
strip is a dose that can be bought of
any druggist and is claimed by some to
be unequaled as cure for cold in the
| chest
All this is probably quite true. For
| to be done up with onions, both inside
| and out. would be enough certainly to
chase out any self respecting cold

A Good Old Game of Cat.

Middle aged men can remember that
when they were boys in the days be
fore baseball became so popular-in
fact. when that game was almost un-
known-they used to play zone hole
cat" a game from which some say
baseball was originally derived.
There Is an old Scottish game of
much the same name as the popular
game of the fifties. but which Is con-
siderably different in the way 1t is
played. The game is called 'cat in the
hole" and. old as it is, 1t Is capable of
affording good sport yet.
In playing this game six shallow
holes are dug rather nearer together
than the bases in baseball and ar
ranged so as to form a diamond. InIthe
