The Fractured Leg.

A visitor was going through the chil- dren's surgical ward of one of the city hospitals when he spied little fellow with his legs in the air and his weight resting on his head and shoulders. Go ing closer, he saw that the boys feet were fastened with ropes which passed through a pulley above. At the other ends of the ropes were weights, just heavy enough to hold the boys legs in the air without lifting him entirely off the bed.
 What's all that about" asked the visitor. Doesn't it hurt him?"
 "Not at all," answered the physician who was accompanying. He doesn't look unhappy, does he? That's the way we always handle fractures of the leg with a child. Otherwise the youngsters squirm around so that they work the splints loose. Only one of this boys legs is injured, but they are both swung in the air for his greater comfort. ."-New York Post.

Desert Fantasies

Do you want to make some money2 Or course you dol Now let me tell you something: There is a woman who lives on a ranch probably six or seven miles from town. Her husband was work ing hard to get a start on his ranch and with the continual go- ing to town and buying canned goods and the like, it was more than he could do to make both ends meet, especially when so much of his money was going for alfalfa seed. Wondering what she could do to help out the thought came to her that if she could put in a little garden it might be possible to economize on the table bill a little. With difficulty she managed to get a piece of ground consisting of about two acres, plowed and put in shape for home garden. She planted a large variety of seeds, and woman fashion, set out some plants along the edges for olna- ments. The other day I was talking with her and she told me she believed a good garden would pay big. She said hers had done real well and it did not have nearly the care it should have had. She takes her produce to town twice week and so far 1t is bringing her from $l5 to $2O a week besides the family have all the vegetables they want to eat every day and the canned goods proposition is a thing of the past. With plenty of meat of their own on the ranch, the outlay of this family, outside of their wearing apparel, is very small. Now, why can't a man with some knowledge of garden ing take a ten acre ranch and go into the business and make good thing. Goodness gracious, there is always a demand for more of this kind of stuff than will ever be raised and the prices will always be good. And then think of the fact that this wom- an did all of this when every where else 1t was winter weather. 1t was our winter season, too, but the weather is always so nice that garden truck grows just the same, but the prices are always higher and profits consequently larger. Here's an opening for a great many people who want to make some money: Try it.

The cutting back of the Alamo river this last winter caused the waste water from the power house of the Holton Power Com pany to have such a fall that a cutting back process set in, thus endangering the tallrace to such an extent that it was deem- ed advisable to shut down for a few days and make repairs. Six months from today trouble of this sort will be thing of the past, for the auxiliary steam plant, the machinery for which is now being received, will be in operation, and it will only be a matter of an hours time to change to it in case anything goes wrong with the water power. Of course, trouble on the electric line discommodes us, but is not so hard to forbear with patience when it is known the company is going to the expense of S15O, GOO m building the steam plant just to tide over in em- ergencies like the present.
