OLD AS EARTH ITSELF.
Is tie Comparison Between Ha!stones
and Eggs.

Is tie Comparison Between Hai!stones
and Eggs.
There is some strange relation be
tween hailstones and poultry, or be-
tween hailstones and eggs, that fas-
cinates mankind. The hailstone may
be lodged, the egg should lodged, but
the comparison between hailstones
and eggs never can be lodged. 1t is
impossible to get away from 1t. When
ever there is a hailstorm, when ten
der plants are cut to death and win
dow glass is shiVered. the hallstones
are always the size Of hens eggs.
Nobody ever heard of hailstone the
size of baseballs, walnuts or potatoes,
Or the size of a macadam rock, golf
balls, tomatoes or the fist, but ever
and always the size of EGGS. Yet eggs
vary in size.
No chicken fancier would think OF
pointing to a cackling hen and saying:
'She lays eggs as big as hailstones. .
There really should be no compari-
son between hailstones and eggs. A
shower of hailstones is work of ma
ture, while a shower Of eggs is apt
to be a work of Immature. shower
of hailstones may be destructive, but
a shower of eggs is positively lnsan'
ity. The longer hailstone stays on
earth : the more inconspicuous it be-
comes, while the longer an egg stays
on earth the more convinced we are
that it is here.

A Dental Treasure Trove.

81 know where I could go, right here
in this country, and dig up millions
of dollars worth of treasure" said a
dentist
Where would I go? To our GENE.
teries. To the mouths of our dead.
In the teeth of our dead enough gold
is going to waste to enrich small
town.
"You have in your teeth $40 in gold.
Your sister has S. Your father and
mother have each ST. And there are
90,000,000 people in America.
ALLOW to each persons teeth a half
dollars worth of gold. You have then
$45,000,000 hidden in our mouths
When we die this gold won't be ex-
tracted. It will be buried with us.
''To take the gold from the teeth of
the dead before burial would be Meth
er difficult nor grewsome 1t would
be good idea to pass law requiring
all this gold, which does no good in
the grave, to be removed after death
and distributed in charity"

she is both disciple and apostle Of the

CONGRESSMAN Jenkins of the Elev-
enth district is strongly impressed with
the idea that postmasters should be
elected by the patrons Of the post
offices. It would no doubt be a good
thing for the congressman and relieve
them of much trouble and annoyance,
but would the public secure satisfac-
tory service by such a plan? There
are men in every community who are
popular but totally unfit for the posi-
ton of postmaster and then again
nationality would control which
would lead to much trouble and dis
cord. The old plan is probably the
best, ana if the congressman lacks the
backbone and is anxious to shirk the
possibility aof recommending the
appointment of the postmasters in his
district, he might shift the response
bility by delegating the same to half
dozen members of his own party in
each community and let them recon-
mend the appointment of their local
postmaster for they would certainly
know who is the best qualified and
who would render the most acceptable
service to the public.

Random Thoughts.

says that Marinette girl knocked a
masher senseless with stick of wood
for accosting her on the street. He
must be mistaken, for that kind of
animals are devoid of sense. They

just the feeling they deserve. 1t is to
be hoped that more OF the species will
run up against the same experience.

Falls does not deny that he is candi-
date for the republican gubernatorial
nomination next year. Well, Jim is

Walt Hauser has an idea that he is
peculiarly fitted to fill the Office of
governor and will reach out after the
republican nomination. j. 0. David.
son. the lieutenant governor, thinks
that the mantle of his predecessor
should fall on his shoulders for a full
term. because he is in the line of pro-
motion. Irving Lenroot has an idea
that he would make an acceptable
chief executive and is willing to take
the nomination if it is given him.
w. ID. Conner thinks he has earned
the place and when the proper time
comes, will enter the ring and make
fight for the nomination, but in the
meantime will keep quiet and saw
logs. w. II. Hatten also has the gu
bernatorial bee buzzing in his head
gear and would not object to being
stung, but will not make fight for it.
There are a whole lot of good men
in the party who would make excel
lent governors besides those named,
and when the proper time arrives the
voters should pick out the best man
req ardless of past factional differences,
the man who can command the most
strength at the polls and nominate a !
state ticket that will commend itself to
all OF the voters.

He returned Monday and on Tuesday
took an extended trip into the country
and into the woods. Mr.. Sissons re-
turned to the city pleased and con-
vinced investigator, we'll repaid for his
trip in finding that instead of falling
short of representations the country is
superior to anything said Of it. MIR.
Siss ons is a practical man and an in
vestigator of varied experiences, a
ready judge OF conditions and his con-
clusions are the only logical ones.
This incident goes to show the value
Of advertising our country to the out
side world. A local business man had
beenin correspondence with Mr.. Sissons
for long time, finally prevailing upon
him to make trip here. We now have
another influential man of means en-
thusiastic on Rusk county's merits.
If every man in Rusk county would
pevsistly urge friends to investigate
cur county we would multiply our
population speedily. Are yea doing
