ISTERl
Owing to the severe blizzard
which ragged here all day Xmas,
everything was very quiet in this
town.
John Thompson and family, of
Sabula, got of No. 26 Sunday,
and went out to his father-in-
laws, N. Allgier, where they will
spend a few days.
The Christmas tree at the Fort
Hill church was a complete sue
cess.
Mr.. Selinger, our livery man,
spent a few days last week in the
west end of Iron county, where he
took a couple of drummers. He
informs the writer that the roads
are very rough out there.
The public school closed at noon
Friday, and will reopen January
Sd. The teachers gave an enter
tainment, which lasted from 1890
to IL o'clock, and all present APP
peared to enjoy themselves very
much. John T. Patterson, the
principal, received so many pres
ents from the pupils in his room
that he actually had to borrow a
large candy bucket to put the
packages, boxes, ETC., in before he
could carry them home. He even
received a very beautiful present
from one of the pupils in the pri-
mary room. 1t is said that Miss
Mamie Ringo also received a
number of presents from the
pupils in her room. Notwith-
standing the many reverses with
which the teacher has to contend,
do you not imagine, Mr.. Editor,
that these care-worn teachers were
made to rejoice when they re-
ceived those tokens of respect and
friendship? To those teachers,
no doubt, the occasion will form
an oasis in their memory, which
time can never efface.

Scared the Beast.

The extraordinary skill with which
Sir Edwin Landseer painted animals
was due not merely to his mastery OF
the brush, but also to his intimate
knowledge of the animal world. One
of his many talents was the power of
initiating to perfection the cry of any
creature with which he was familiar.
One day when the artist happened to
be the guest of Lord Rivers he was re-
quested to go and see a very savage
dog that was tied up in the yard. AS
Landseer approached the growing
beast he dropped quietly upon his
hands and knees and then, crawling
forward, snarled so alarmingly that the
dog, overcome with terror, suddenly
snapped his chain, jumped over the
wall and was never seen afterward.

Eat What
You want Of the food yos raeed
Kodol will digest il

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomachif
1T is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufhc-
tent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak 1T needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
