The 4th i'm HoIbrook- A
Brief Resume of the
Days Doings

The Fourth of July, 1907, at
Holbrook will be pleasantly re-
membered IS a holiday. of quiet
enjoyment for both young and
old. Holbrook did her best to
entertain the out of town visit
ors and to make them feel that
they were welcome. Early in the
day most of the business houses
closed their doors and all joined
the jolly crowd that were gath
cred in and about the court
house where the festivities of the
day were to be held.
At shortly after ten in the
morning there gathered in the
tastefully decorated court room
a goodly assemblage of people to
listen to the short program that
had been arranged. After the in
vocation offered by Hon. Joseph
Fish, Hon. F NJ. Zuck, who pre-
sided as chairman, made a few
appropriate Introductory re-
marks at the conclusion of which
he introduced Thorwald Larson,
the speaker of the day. Mr.Lar-

was learned that the actions of Sheriff

chamisso's celebrated story of Peter Schlemthl." the shadowless man, is ono into which 1t is 50 easy to read a deep CT meaning than appears on the sur- face of the tale itself; and the tempta- tion to regard it as an allegory is SO great that 1t has been treated thus for nearly a century. The authors statement that he merely meant to write a whimsical story has had no enect on the critics; and however little
 Peter SchlemihP' may have meant to Chamisso. 1t has meant much to his readers and the commentators.
 Adelbert Chamisso was born in France and was brought up in Ger many. to which country his parents emigrated at the outbreak of the French Revolution. He was page to the King of Prussia in his youth, serv- ed in the Prussian army and acquired fame as a naturalist and as an author. He seems to have been fonder of the land of his adoption than of that of his nativity, and did his literary work in German. But after Napoleon restored sions in France Chamisso went back there for a brief period: and when. in 1913. all Europe armed against the Emperor ha hesitated to draw his sword against Napoleon and France. It was while the war of 1813 was go- ing on that he wrote Peter SchlemihP' to beguile the time that he spent in a retreat near Berlin which his friends provided for him.
 Peter SchIemihl was a young man. good looking and in good health, with a strong liking for botany and natural history. But he had one afhiction-- not an uncommon one to be sure-im- pecuntosity. Having a letter of in- troduction to a MT. Thomas John. a wealthy man who might be of assist ance to him, Peter presented himself before that gentleman. He found Mr. John walking in his garden and rec ognixed him at once from his corpulent and self-complacent air.
 'Oh, from my brother" said Mir John, glancing over the letter. It is a long time since I heard from him. Is he well? and scarcely interrupting his conversation with the guests who accompanied him. he continued, Yes, indeed, a man who has not a million is poor wretch"
 "Oh. how true" said Peter with full heart.
 Mir John seemed pleased at this. and putting the letter in his pocket, said: Remain here. my friend. Later I may have an opportunity to tell you what I think of this letter." Giving his arm to one of the ladies of the party. MT. John led the way to hill thickly planted with blooming roses. The party was in high spirits and spoke of serious matters trifingly and of tri- fling matters seriously, and greatly exercised their wit at the expense of their absent friends. This surprised Peter. He had never been in iociety before.

IMPURE WATER

Typhoid in nearly every case, as we'll as malaria, dysentery and the other hot weather complaints that so often end fatally, has been traced to impure water.
 Because to the naked eye the water appears clear is no guaran- tee that it is pure. Often one has but to look at it through magni- flying glass to see millions of dead ly microbes.
 The water supply in many coun- try places, small towns and sum- mer resorts at times becomes con- taminated with sewage and other impurities owing to one or another of several causes that are common.
 Doctors of all schools claim that a teaspoonsful of

small quantity of pepsin, giving a

A New Fatal Disease.

A new disease has fastened rs
death grip upon horses around Stock
ton, California, which has character
istics of its own but is yet to be
named. The first cases noticed oc-
Cured in Stockton and since then
horses all over the adjacent country
have fallen victims to the deadly NAL
ady. The immediate effect is paral.
ysis Of the throat. When the animal
first feels the clutches of the sickness
a slight discharge occurs from the
head, similar to ordinary distemper.
The next condition is that of paraly-
sis Of the vocal chords and the cpl
glottis. It soon becomes impossible
for the horse to breathe and it liter
ally chokes to death. A peculiar
thing about the affliction is that there
is no swelling in the neck or throat.
In fact, the throat is inclined to waste
away.

Cross-Breedinu,

The danger in cross-breeding ami
mails is pretty well known, and yet a
good many persons venture on such
Breeding. In a recent discussion on
the subject at the American Breeders
association meeting, Prof. Castle, of
Harvard University uttered the fol-
lowing warnings:
"Cross-breeding is two-edged
sword which must be handled careful
iy.
IF modification of characters is de-
sirable at the same time as new COM
binations, then cross-breeding be-
comes doubly advantageous.
Since cross-breeding is likely to
modify characters, ands even when
these conform to the laws of alter
native inheritance, and is certain to
modify them when they give blended
inheritance, it should be practiced
with extreme caution, and only by the
breeder who has definite end in
view and fairly clear idea of how he
is going to attain It," -

Lambs Raised on Cows Milk Thrive
Never feed timothy hay where it
can be helped; 1t is too dry, coarse
and woody for sheep, says Farmers
Voice. Besides, the heads of timothy
tend to collect in the wool about the
neck of the sheep, spelling the fleece
to some extent for sale purposes. Be
sparing of such grains as corn, bar
ley, rye or oil meal in excess. These
grains are too fattening; besides, they
tend to cause sheep to lose their wool
before shearing time.

about three-quarters of pound in or

circumstances let eve lamb in

duties at the bank without perpetrating
more than a dozen blunders. and when, at

He approached the bridge with swiftly

this was Dora Westwick, and an instant

To this day Reggie is unable to recount
with any degree Of exactness what he said
and did In the exquisite moments that
followed that meeting on the bridge. The
girls beauty took immediate possession Of
his heart and brain. and when. an hour
later. he bade her adieu. he began to think
that he was very much in love.

Reggie Blake was a bank clerk in his
working hours. and "a poet in his moments
OF ease. The stern realities of ledgcrs.
pass hooks. and trial balances" had been
unable to quell the nascent fire that
giowed In his youthful soul, and it was not
very long before the local rlper of the
little town of Baymead began to CULVER
with Reggie Blake effusions.
He had been drafted to Baymcad from
the head office of the bank. and he found
life unutterably lonely in the small market
town. But for the diversion afforded him
by the spinning of rhymes, he told himself.
he would have drifted into acute melan-
cholia. and while this view was, perhaps,
unduly pcssim.stic. there can be little
doubt that existence at Haymead was dun
enough attire the eXh.laration of life in
London.
One evening, after IL particularly heavy
days work. he was sitting in his dinsy lit
tie lodging when the mad entered with Il
letter. The miesive was from Mr.. Bloxain,
the editor of the Baymcad Argus. and 1t
ran thus;
My Dear Sir: ! have been much pleased
with the poetry that you have been kind
enough to contribute to this journal, and
shall be very glad to receive further mctri-
cal contributions whenever you feel in
c!tncd to forward the same. Yours faith
fully. John Bloxam."
Come. that is a trinc more encourage
ing thought Reggie, as he smiled and
reread the communications IL never could
have believed that an editor could write
In cold blood to a man and ask for verses.
I'll knock off something fresh at once"
Drawing his chair closer to the table,
the young man seed a pencil and plunged
into thought.
Now. what can l write about" he
