STORM AND COLD.
Coldesr wave % the season. Accomplished


By sn0w.
Sunday night the wind blew bitter
cold, and Monday the THERMOMETERS
lowered around zero with a blow OF
snow now and then This was the
third snow Of the season. and since the
ground has been soaked and cracked
open with the cold, farmers think the
ground is in better condition than for
years
People have taken to calling these Sc
we're storms Billiards, which IS objected
70 by F. D. Coburn.
81 wish the newspapers would not call
this storm a blizzard - said Secretary
F. D. Coburn of the State Agricultural
society Monday. ''The weather bureau
has officially stated that we don't have
Billiards in Kansas, and 1t does not
look well to advertise every little storm
that comes along as a BLIZZARD Kan
sas has had enough troubles Of its own
without getting the credit for having
Billiards.
81 never saw a blizzard; nobody IN
this country ever saw a blizzard unless
they happened to be up in the extreme
northern part Of the Prairies, near the
Canadian boundary. This storm r=Fe
are having today is about as much like
a blizzard as a gentle spring is like a
food"
Northwest Kansas has not had biz
zard for years, but It has nevertheless
been visited with that very thing. Web
ster's International dictionary says that
a blizzard is a gale of Pierceingly cold
wind, usually accompanied with fine
and binding snow; a furious blast -
To the old timers Webster does not be
gin 70 tell what those furious, killing
storms were back in the latter part OF
the sos. Man or beast could not
weather them; to see ones way was
as hopeless as IN a wilderness of utter
darkness; men were frozen to death
within a stones throw of their homes.
Those days and the blizzard are en-
balmed IN history, with. 10 desire for
their return.

TO COLLEGE This wINTERq
II So, the Kansas sFesIeysa University
Has . Message f0F You.

II So, the Eanszs EFeEieya1 University
Has \ Message Tor Yen
Young people who cannot well attend
a college throughout the school year, Of
ten take advantage Of going through the
winter term, which begins January 4,
and ends in March A little collegiate
schooling is vastly better than none, and
the Kansas Wesleyan university promises
to do thebest possible BY you, no matter
when you come or how long you stay.
Remember that the Kansas Wesleyan
university IS the only school west Of
Topeka, excepting the Agricultural
college at Manhattan and Bethany at
Lindsborg, that is authorized by the
state board Of education to grant life
certificates to It's graduates. And the
normal department Of the Wesleyan is
the only normal school other than that
Of Bethany, west of Topeka, that has
the privilege Of granting state certi6-
Gates without examination
Graduates from the Wesleyan have,
as a class of young men and women,
have been quite successful, as a few re-
cent successes Of its graduates show:
Charles ". Smith, B. Ped, 'O4, was
elected clerk Of the court IN Lincoln
county at the recent election. Miss
Myrtle Z. Pider, B. Ped, 'O3, is assist
ant principal of the Plainville schools,
while Mr.. Clarence Rarick, A B., 'O4,
is principal. T. n. AIcorn, B. S, 'O3,
was one of the twenty-five successful
contestants IN the Timothy Todd con-
test of the Brown Book Of Boston, re-
sulting in a free trip to Europe or an
equivalent IN cash
This simply shows what some of the
college young men and women are do
ing, and Sherman county should be
rearing a generation Of such persons
for its own sake. 1t IS the best invest
ment that can be made.

The Daisy Pickers.

A king once called his servants to
him and asked them to 60 out in
the fields and gather as many dals-
les as they could. The boys and
girls were delighted and started out
for the fields and hills where the
daisies grew the thickest. But on"
lame, delicate hoy, who could no:
keep up with the rest, strolled off by
himself. He had gathered but a
handful Of daisies when he grew
tired and started for the castle. Th>
king took the daisies which the lame
boy had picked and said they were
the most beautiful of them al

A Hidden Sentence.

I don't think | should ever have
known who Susie was, only one day
| found her doll and took it to her.
She had dropped it on the sidewalk
and it might have been lost if | had
not rescued it. Susie's mamma in
vited me into the parlor, and | stay
ed for some time chatting to her.
Susie, however, although she listen
ed and sometimes laughed, did not
join in the conversation, and when
she picked up book | noticed she
held it upside down. Then her
mamma informed me that she had
never learned either to read or to
talk. Why do you suppose that
was? The answer will be found in
a sentence of four words hidden
somewhere in this paragraph.-New

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for homes. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favOrite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purities the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at d. A.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Huge csyIon Spider Has Legs Nearly a
Foot Long.

The largest spider ever discover.
ed is found up in The mountains OF
Ceylon. The home it builds could
scarcely be called web; it is huge
snare, or net, of yellow silk from
five to ten feet in diameter. This
is spread across the assures and
chasms in the rocks. This net Is al
most strong enough for hammock,
and it's supporting ropes range from
five to twenty feet, as the clrcum-
stances may demand. These ropes
are made of a series of twisted webs
and are about as large in diameter
as lead pencil.
This huge trap is not set for
flies and mosquitoes, but for birds
and big moths and butterflies.
Sometimes even small skeletons Of
birds and lizards have been found
enmeshed. The spider who owns
this big web is about four and a half
inches in width and six in length.
and it's legs are from nine to ten
inches long.-Montreal Star.

Under their mothers downy wing.

Gov. Cummins, in his inaugural adj
dress at Des Moines Thursday, switched
back to his "Iowa Idea which he tenn
porarily abandoned at the commence
ment of the gubernatorial campaign last
year through fear that sticking to it
would cost him the votes of the "stand
patters." The governors desire now is
ITO head the Iowa delegation to sthe re-
publican national convention and to be
placed on the resolutions committee
there to make fight for injecting his idea
into the national platform. He will be
fought by J. w. Blythe and his following
of "stand patters." Whichever wins is
not material to the welfare of the people
of the country. No matter how the re,
publican national platform may be
worded, it will be so constructed that
Ioeth factions Of the party can construe
mt as an endorsement of the ideas
and convictions Of each. That is the
speciality Of the trainers Of republican
platforms. Eft. Madison Democrat.
