which he called tales, was informed
by his girl that he should not call
them tales but anecdotes. Not long
since they were at a party, and the
young man went out to see if the
horse was alright. In a few min
utes he came III with doleful look |
on his face and on being asked what
was the matter replied: "Oh no.
thing only the darn calves have
chewed off the horses anecdote."
When man gets old and his
feet get cold and the end Of his
nose turns blue, and he smells of
rose and he thinks of his toes and
the world to him seems blue. He
waddles around with look pro-
found and hopes for turn in af-
fairs, and it comes with a rush and
gives him a push and leaves his
estate to the heirs. They squabble
and fight with vigor and might,
each one wanting it all, and finally
the lawyers, kind souls, take charge
of the roll and there is nothing left
for the heirs but the holes.
The latest sensation at Madison
is over the sums of money drawn
by the special state attorneys-H.
W. Chynoweth and Irvine l.. Len
root for services in the railroad
suits. The former has drawn from
the state treasury $13 $50 for his
services during the past year. Mr.
Lenroot was not employed until
some time last summer, but has
drawn $50 since that time, ex-
elusive of the salary he drew as a
member of the legislature. This
may be only fair ana reasonable
compensation, but the public will
view it with some suspicion, es-
| peclally since the annual salary of
the attorney general is So, 900, and
as far as known, Mr. Sturdevant
has not received additional COM
pensation.
They say dynamite won't ex-
plode from heating but the follow
ing taken from the Cuba City News
Herald of last week is contradictory:
Two sticks of dynamite which were
being thawed out in a box of warm
sand in the 10x12 shanty on the Nc
CURE, Kivlahan & Cooper propect
on the T. Fl. Kivlahan farm ex-
ploded Saturday morning and w.
Kivlahan and son Henry, who were
the only occupants of the shanty
narrowly escaped death as a result.
They were fortunate in escaping
with merely a shower of sand i'm
bedded in the ep1dermis of their
faces which distorted their visages
almost beyond recognition. The
shanty was wrecked and all of the
furniture was scattered to the four
i winds. The two occupants escaping
thus happily is little short of a
miracle.
The beet industry is a new
thing to our farmers in this locality.
Perhaps it would be we'll to ex-
plain something about the revenue
of such an industry. The sugar
company agrees to pay for beets
delivered in November $4.76, for
all beets testing IA per cent or
under, and all beets testing over
that, they pay Csc for each addi-
tional 1 per cent. So If beets test
II, the farmer realizes SIS. so per
ton. Any soil that will raise good
corn, will raise good beets. The
amount of labor required for rails
ing beets is the same as for pota-
toes. According to the expert
mental stations of many states.
beets average from 20 to 80 tons
per acre. The Wisconsin farmer
realizes how hard it is to paw for
his farm raising corn and oats, on
land ranging from SIS to 500 per
acre. Why not raise crop that
will nearly pay for the land in one
year?
