The Free Horse.

The limit of riding free horse to
death" has been reached in Fort
Dodge. The business men of every
other town, are beset constantly by
people who solicit aid for people, for
churches, charitable institutions and
the like, besides begging for ads. in
cook books, programs and other
business boosting" enterprises. The
other day committee of church peo-
pie canvessed the town for ads. in
what do you suppose? A hymn book!
When the book is issued the members
of that church will not have to pay
any attention to the preachers SER
mon at all but can occupy their minds
by reading the ads. which are inter-
spersed with the hymns throughout
the book. Manson people have con-
tributed to the widow and the orph-
an, the lame, the halt, the blind, the
deaf and other unfortunates, have
buried the relatives of the proud peo-
pie who could not bear the thought
of the county having to bear the ex-
pense, haye put better clothes on tho
widows children than their own were
wearing and performed sundry other
acts of being easy, but they have not
yet been tackled to plant any ads. Ia

Fayette Postal Card.
The Postal Card hits the nail
square on the head. The time long
ago passed when a newspaper could
be established in a good Iowa town
with plant consisting of Washing
ton hand press and a few cases of
secondhand type. When the writer
began to learn his trade in what Is
now the Ninth congressional dis
trict, there was but one cylinder
press in use within its limits outside
of Council Bluffs. And that one had
been through a fire, which was the
only reason why it was within the
reach of the firm that owned it.

Burbank and the Watermelon.

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard
of California, is now doing things to
the watermelon. He thinks he will
be able to produce seedless variety
of excellent flavor and large size,
but how the melon is to reproduce
itself is a problem that is proving
rather puzzling. In the matter of
seedless oranges, apples, grapes and
plums the reproduction can be
brought about from cuttings, sprouts
and roots, but the melon vine does
not lend itself to that sort of pro-
pagation, since both the vine and the
root die at the end of the season, and
the next seasons crop must come
from the seed. However, since Bur-
bank has solved problems as hard as
that one, we may reasonably expect
that he will get what he goes after.
A report says he also proposes to
grow the melon with crooked neck,
like that of a gourd or squash, Sc
that it may be used as handle. We
doubt IL the melon really needs a
handle. In general transportation
the handle would be in the way. But
if it must be handled melon, why
not have two handles, one at each
end? Assuming one to be desirable,
two would certainly be better.
While Burbank is about it. could
he not fit 1t so the melon would tell
when it was ripe, as the peach, the
apple and the plum do? The melon
as we know it now gives no indica-
ton of its 'innards" by its outward
appearance. 1t may be as red and
sweet and juicy inside as the hungri-
est and thirstiest darkey could de-
sire or it may be as green as gourd
and full of colics; there is no sure
way to tell, except to plug" it; and
the plugging spoils the melon IL II
isn't quite ripe. We thump and
thump it with our fingers and make
a guess as to what is within; but
there is no "plunk" that is perfectly
reliable. The ''plunk" that sounds
good may be a false note that will
bring sorrow and chagrin to the pur.
chaser when the test of putting the
knife into it comes. If Burbank
would just fix it so that the melon
will change the color of its coat
upon coming to perfection OF
ripeness, he will earn the gratitude
of whole nation of watermelon
lovers.-Savannah News.

Transcendent born weary hearts Oppressed;
Enriching all the things of life,

Hope springs eternal the human breast;

A liberal supply of snow in this
vicinity. Present indications seem to
incline one to the belief that we are
to be permitted to enjoy one of those
good, old-fashioned winters" that
we read so much about and that
sounds so we'll in print, but that are
really, well, not quite so enjoyable in
reality.
Miss Claire Simons is entertaining
Lorraine Mckee of Philadelphia.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Wolfe and two
children of Uniondale, Pa, are spend
ing the holiday season with Mrs.
Wolfe's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. T..

At about half past ten Thursday
night, Dec. %, our little village was
startled by considerable jar and the
cry of "Fire." The jar was caused by
the explosion of gas in the cellar of G.
L. Simons' residence which set the
house on fire. A number of men gath
cred at once and soon succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. Mr.. Simons
used acetylene gas for lighting his store
and house, and the tank was located in
one corner of the house cellar. The ex-
plosion was thought to be due to escap-
ing gas coming in contact with the
furnace. Fortunately no one was in
jured. Mr.. Simons' house was severe
ly damaged. Portions of the outside
walls were blown out completely, and
some of the furniture was utterly de-
stroyed, while all of it was more or less
injured. The family will not be able
to'occupy it before spring.

STERLING.

1t will hardly be necessary to say
that we now have about eighteen in-
ches of snow and it is about all a
team can do to wallow through it in
places and a number were obliged to
shovel this morning before the mail
could get through. But he made the
trip from Ledgedale to Moscow and
returned. a"
Yesterday was very quiet day,
an excellent time for rest, reading
and loafing. We improved the day

that oar Sunday school class kindly
gave us as a Christmas reminder
