MissOurian Wants to Come Back

A coach load OF Granville
people left recently for Missouri,
some intending to remain per-
manently and others to visit
during the winter. Some who
intended to remain for all the
time, are now anxious to get
back to Gods own country and
one man especially, Will VIII
Wilhelm, is trying to rent a
house in Granville that he can
come rigkt back. We don't
blame a Missourian for liking
his native state, but nine out of
every ten who 60 back, are sorry
III a little while. Better Think
twice before acting.

Farmers Lay in Supply OF Fish.

John Dostert, the Lone Tree
rancher farmer, visited this city
Saturday. He says it is a fright
the number OF wrecks that are
occurring in that locality. Only
last Thursday between Berthold
and Tagus one west bound
freight ran into another strew-
ing the cars in various direc.
tions. In the recent wreck at
Lone Tree. which occurred a mile
or so from Johns house, a car
OF salmon from the coast was
scattered all around. Farmers
came in all directions with gunny
sacks and lay in a good supply
Of fish for the winter.
Mr.. Desert has farmed at Lone
Tree for nearly twenty years
and is making a big success.
This year his flax averaged 19k
bushels and on ground that had
, been farmed for fifteen years.

A COLOSSAL GORGE.
The Sublime Beauties OF the Grand
Canyon of Arizona.

This terrific cash Is more than 200
miles long and more than mile deep,
and Its area exceeds 1000 square miles,
From the FL Tovar rim, on which l
stand, TO the cleaning, snow veined
crags on the opposite side Of this stu
pendous cleft the distance is thirteen
miles. Human vision cannot take in
the full extent of this wide pageant OF
terror and glory nor is 1t within the ca
pacity Of words to set forth its over
whelming splendor. The plain on which
] stand is nearly 5000 feet above sea
level, and here, In prodigious tissure
--gaunt, abrupt, frightful and wonder
ful--are assembled mountains. valleys,
enormous rocks, precipitous crags, ra-
vines OF mystery and forests of gloom,
through which the black waters of the
Colorado rush onward in their resist
less flow and over which the dauntless
eagle wings its upward flight TO meet
the sun. All the forms are here that
Imagination could construct, and all the
Colors are here that glow In sunset
skies. Far down in the subterranean
vista the forests show like green lawns.
Not less than seven geologic periods in
the physical history of the planet are
displayed in the layers of tinted rock
black, green, gray, red, brown, blue,
pink, orange and alahaster, with many
other mingled hues-that constitute the
walls of this colossal gorge; walls that
seem continuous and unbroken, yet
everywhere are rlfted with lateral fis.
sures, the beds Of mountain streams
that swell the flood Of the great Colo
RADIO river. The American continent
has nowhere else spectacle TO show |
commensurate with this in beauty, |
grandeur and awe.-William Winter in |

IrOnnl Onger.

The word 'ironmonger" has as curl.
Gus an origin as any other word in the
English language. 1t means literally
an eater of iron and came to its present
use in this way. There was once law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkers, who still carried
ON their trade in spite of this law, were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fish:
mongers, for, to eyade the law, their
large purchases Of fish were said to be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades, as cheesemonger, until at last
it came to mean any middle man, as
distinguished from manufacturer, and
SO was applied to the dealer in hard.
ware.-London Graphic.

AQUATIC PLANTS
How They May Be Successfully Guilt
waited In Tubs.


The cultivation Of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. OF course he
need not expect to be able TO grow the
rarer sorts Of nymphaea, but he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
of water lily and other plants of that
class. A half barrel is not very at
tractive In itself, but its lack Of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or ii
may be sunk its depth in the earth.
When 1t contains a fine specimen of
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about its lack of grace. When prepar'
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from the bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth Of foot;
then plant your roots in it and I'LL with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub
sunny place in the yard or garden. II
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, it is a good
plan to take four, five, six, or as many
as you may decide on. and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which large tank
would give. A better plan, though
more expensive one to carry out, is
to have tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt
ed at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves.

TELLING STORIES TO CHILDREN.

Miss ShediocS said yesterday in the Of what

for the benefit Of Aumna Settlement.
1T was a great joy to me-" said Miss Shedlock
during the three months recently spent in Eng

Stories. Miss Shedlock told her large audience,
are TO the child what novels to the adut-an
escape from the commonplace. The first object IN
story telling should be TO give great dramatic joy
70 children but the second should be to appeal to
their imagination.
said the STORY teller" but there was a time
country that needed appeals the imagina-
ticn more thar this. We have been appealing to
the intellec: in the child too long. We have been
ringing the knell OF the imagination. If only we
wouldn't drag children into the brigh; light of
explana tion. but would let them stay in the twl-
light of mystery"
Miss Shedlock warned the teachers before her
against tho 'utltarian story" where the newsbo-
