FARM SOLD AND MoRTGAGED.
J. T. Jones of Humboldt Finds This
Condition.


EDGAR-An illegal land sale in this
vicinity has just come to light. Mr..
Joel r. Jones, formerly of this city,
but who moved to Humboldt, Neb.,
some seven or eight years ago, owns
a quarter section of very fine land
three miles northeast of Edgar. Not
long ago a man claiming to be Joel
T. Jones, the owner of the land, quiet
ly effected a sale of the farm to 4
man calling himself Martin Clark.
Both parties were strangers to the
county officials, as was also the real
owner, Joel T. Jones of Humboldt. A
deed was made and recorded by the
mn Clark and then a loan of $500
was secured from Beatrice bank and
a mortgage was duly filed against the
farm. The matter came to the ears
of Mr.. Joel T. Jones of Humboldt, and
he lost no time in coming up to see
about the matter. He succeeded in
notifying the county officials and the
mortgage of the character of the
sale, but could get no trace of the men
who sold, bought and mOrtgaged the
land.

In recent experiments on bacteria, DR..
Allan Macfsdyen, director OF the Jenner
Institute in London, has found that some
of these microscopic plants will resume
activity after immersion in liquid air for
six months.
Evidently life under conditions OF this
sort is potential rather than actual and
exists only in virtue of the possibility OF
its revival. Matter that lives thus while
frozen must be, DR.. Mactadyen thinks,
''in new and hitherto unobtained third
coalition" between life and death, and
furnishes US with an absolutely perfect
case of suspended animation"
1t is evidently no longer possible to

A curious collection of old time rel
les from the postoffice museum at

the great revolving lenses in light

The space in the projecting north

"But I'm green" said the frog.
Good joke" laughed the pelican,
''but feel sure you're ripe" And, put
ting his long neck down quickly, Mr..
Pelican scooped up Mr.. Frog.
AS he reached the pelican's great
pouch the frog cried out, "Oh, Mr.. Pei
lean. let me ask you riddle"
Go on" said he.
"Why are you like cough drop?''
asked the frog.
"Give it up to save time," said the
pelican.
Because you've got frog In your
throat" answered the frog.
That was more than Mr.. Pelican
could stand. He opened his month and
laughed enough to kill himself.

wanted, made good his escape.

Presently a green head and two big

But what sight met his eyes! These
eyes nearly popped out of his head.
He dropped the stone and tried to
scream. but couldn't. There sat the
frog, as large as COW, looking severe
ly at Bill with his big eyes. Presently
it said:
"Why don't you soak him?"
Bills torgue seemed tied.
Better shoot before he jumps" con-
tinued the frog, with a horrible grin.

about BEG p-p-pardon; didn't c-c-come

Individuality In vegetation.

The vegetation covering the slopes
of European mountains as we'll as that
on the great snowy peaks of the Amer
lean cordilleras and other rRages has
an individuality, a character, Of its
own, striking even the most indifferent
of tourists. In this fora all Is dwarfed
and on small scale. The flowers
alone, of relatively exaggerated size
and generally brilliant in color. seem
to be abnormally developed. The man
ner of growth of these plants is a sur
prise to those ignorant of their his
tory and the cause Of their peculiar
appearance. While in the lowlands
large plants, with spreading branches
and well developed foliage, generally
have flowers smaller than the leaves,
the reverse is true in the higher re-
gions.
Another easily noticed popularity is
that while the Alpine fora in sunshine
shows flowers of great size and vivid
coloring, as the gentians, aurieulas,
anemones and violets, In the shade, on
the other hand, we find them small
and weak in color. Thus the action OF
the SUMS rays on vegetation at great
elevations seems to be mora tntense
than on the plains.
