We all know people who never
add anything to our fun, our infor-
nation, our happiness, our comfort.
They are always trying to get some
thing from us without giving any
thing in return. They are sponges
that absorb but give nothing back.
When they leave us we have a minus
feeling, a consciousness Of having
lost something. On the other hand
we know people who always give
more than they take from us; they
are resourceful, suggestive, helpful
every thing increases under their
touch, for they are not trying to see
how much they can get, but instead
to give us something. They are
optimists; they turn the best side OF
themselves to us, say pleasant
things and are helpful in their inter
course. They do not try to drain
us dry; we have plus feeling when
they depart, consciousness OF
having found something; they seem
to leave a part Of themselves with
us. Like the rose, they bestow
their fragrance and their beauty
for us to think about after they are
gone. Everybody loves the man or
woman who leaves something be-
hind-a pleasant memory, help
full suggestion, or a kind word.
Nobody cares for the absorbent
people, people who get everything
they can and give nothing.

Our January thaw came late
this year, Feb. 5 and 6. January
was too busy keeping cold to
thaw out for day or two. The
thaw started with fog and mist
on Friday and ended up with a
real warm, sunshiny day on Satur-
day. In the sun on the south
side mercury registered 60 degrees
above. Sunday morning was
colder again, and by Monday
morning it was twelve below, as
usual. The thaw brake up and
carried out the ice in Grant river
and smaller streams. An old
settler who has made observations
for fifty years says that Jan. "a
at noon was the coolest day in the
history of Grant county. Another
old settler says never to look for
spring until after Mar 20, as any
spring weather before that time is
sure to catch cold. In the early
days they always looked for the

spring goods from Mar 20 to Apr Il

HE won the Neptune and the Brigh-
ton Derby, July %, and the Saratoga
Special and Travers, August 8. He
won 100 other races, and averaging
those at the same figure that we have
averaged those of Fuller it gives him
grand total of $213,095. With these
figures before us and the stakes that
are to be run the coming year we do
not wonder at the high prices that are
being offered for the American
Jockeys.
