ANNOUNCING THE BIRTH OBJ
THEIR FIRST. EGG.

After the arrival Of the egg, welcome
perched on the edge of the nest and eyed
it over. Then he turned his head and
eyed it with the other eye. IF you ever
that was the fowl. Altho it is against
ethics to sing during breed
ing time, he forgot himself in the
excitement Of the moment and
uncoiled several feet of birdsong that
made the house ring again. .ra
Now when the hen leaves the nest to
get a little bite of seed and to tighten
up her feathers and hop around a bit for
exercise, Welcome sits on the eggs with
every Indication of knowing that he Is
doing the proper bird thing.

A Yankton, S. d. lady was bitten by
wasp on April 1. She was under the inn
preston that an outdoor wasp on a chilly
day was out of business. The wasp
thought otherwise and when she poked
him he got good and busy. When the
wasp is around it is well not to have too
many theories.

DR.. r. G. Lucas in. the London Lancet
says that the corset is often responsible
for cancer. He notes that cancer often
starts at a point where the edge Of the COR
set crosses the edge Of the big muscle of
| the chest. In describing two of them he
says:
1T occurred on the right side in each
case and in women whose occupation led
| them to undue use Of the right arm, and,
in consequence, to. excessive friction Of
OF the corset at this spot is, therefore,
| the cause Of the cancerous process devel-
| oping in this situation, and, to express
| the fact. I. have givens.it the name Of
corset cancer"
| A good many women prefer cancer to
being in bad form.

4 A foolish English court has just decided
that a woman's clothing and ornaments

Few people UP this way know that there
is a little town in Kansas named MINES
apolis. The paper published there is
called The Minneapolis Better Way. It Isl
I a populist organ. While saying little
about politics just now, it is printing soms
helpful thoughts entitled Consult YOU'D
Mother, Girls"
The other day the Kansas City Journal
printed the following para graph among its
carefully selected miscellany:
Rev. g. =. Morrill,, pastor of the Peoples
church Of Minneapolis, frequents saloons daily
for drink over the bar. He drinks only
sweet milk or buttermilk, but says the saloon
has its legitimate place as convenience. com.
fort and public necessity. The free lunch coun-
ter of the saloon the minister recommends as
II highly practical and benevolent institution.
Rev. Mr.. Morrill, is moved to the expression Of
his opinion because OF the ordinance introduced
in the council abolishing the free lunch.
I Knowing how these condensations travel
about the daily press, changing frequently
as they are rewritten, we may expect to
see before many months an article some-
, thing like this:
Rev G. L. Morrill, Of the Peoples church. st.
Paul, gets his entire living from the free lunch
counters of saloons. He says the free lunch
counter is really benevolent institution.
:, We should deeply regret to see this, but
we are compelled to fear the worst.
