end, and completed the journey
around the hemisphere of the sun
IN two hours. 1t was discovered
that these three bodies, as well as
tnta of 1868, were all moving along
the same orbit. The probability
ls that the four had at one time
formed a single mass, which had
been violently disrupted by the
action Of the sun. The comet of
1882 furnished almost ineOnteSt-
able proof that such was the case,
for it was apparently torn to
pieces during its passage nearest
the sun. An OutburSt of matter
from its head, directed towards
the sun was seen on Mt. Dread,
the seat of the University Of Kan.

4 very close relation is found
between some comets and meteOric
Swarms. The celebrated swarm
Of meteorS of November -, which
is due to appear every 33A years,
has the same period and travels
along the same path as does a
small comet discovered by Tempe
at Marseilles, on the 18th of De.
cember, 1865. 1t is very probable
that Temples comet is degener
, ating into swarm of meteOrS.
In 1926, Biela, an Austrian, dis
covered a comet whose orbital pc
lod was six and a half years. Ii
1916, whilst men were watching
1t, the body was suddenly split il

Athenian Club.

In accordance with their year
book Monday was the last meet
Ing of the year for the Athenian
club, so the retiring officers of
the club, Mrs. f. G. Smith, Mrs.
Mic Smith, Miss Cora Shaffer and
Miss Margaret OSmOnd, departed
from the usual order of their meet.
mgS and entertained the club at
the home of Mrs. F. G.. Smith.
lie entertainment was In the ma
ture of a musical. For roll call
each member was given a song, a
verse of which was sung in re-
spouse. A very pretty duet was
next rendered by Amy Porter and
Ruth Smith after which Miss Hell.
en- Smith sang in her usual ex-
Cellent style.
For a guessing game the guests
were given cards with names of
songs on but with letters so jumb
led that some have not yet been
deciphered. FavOrS consisted of
pictures of musicians whose iden-
tity the guests were requested to
name.
The refreshments were served
lii quality and form as only these
ladies know how to serve. In,
stead Of talking during their re
freshments,. the guests were re
quired to carry on their converse
ton by singing their words to tn,
tune of the song given them a
roll call.
1t was a happy afternoon theG'
ladies spent and the memory of j

Open Season for Hoboes

The game laws Of the western states
are incomplete in their failure to
provide a legal open season for
hoboes; for the genius hobo is a bird
OF prey and useful only for purposes
to which force can turn him. The
writer had occasion during a recent
trip to the country to talk with a
South Dakota farmer, a man with
800 acres of land under pillow and him
self alone to attend to it and the
other multifarious duties and REQUIRE
ments of the farm. His complaint
was the complaint of all farmers at
this season, the inability to get not
alone competent help but help of any
sort. He had 100 acres of wheat
ready to cut and had just 'laid by''
his corn. From his statement it was
inferred that farm help was not
plentiful even with good wages
current.
About the streets of Sioux City and
other western cities are to be seen
every day many idle men, a large pro-
portion OF whom are in one way or
another a tax upon the community.
Some are idle from lack of work in
their particular line, but with many
ldleness is a matter of preference.
Work for them is still the "primal
curse and a life Of sloth, a life of
ldleness more to be relished than hon
est and useful toll. Inasmuch as
every man must be supported either
by his own labor or by the labor of
another, these men, where they are
not living upon their own resources,
are a tax upon the community. They
produce nothing and what little thew
consume is lost wealth. In America
we have not arrived at that commun-
lty OF interest which denies to the
man who will not work the right to
eat, and the problem of making an
accounting Of these lost factors in
production seems an insolvable prob
lem. 1t is to no purpose that the
farms calls for men to harvest the
crops. They must get along with the
scattering numbers of able bodied
men who follow the harvests. We
have no effective way of putting these
potential producers to work where
they will do the most good.
1t is not therefore an entirely jocu-
lar suggestion that an open a be
established for the voorhees, men COM
pretending in its scope the period of
harvest. Impressed labor might not
be a satisfactory labor, but it would
go a long way toward relieving con
dltlons In the country at a critical

Homesteading Tricksters

A homesteader near Lennon at
tempted to prove up On the strength
of residence and improvements, testi-
flying that he had plowed between
ten and eleven acres" on the tract.
His proof was protested, when it was
discovered that he had measured of
n tract of ten acres and another of
eleven acres, and had plowed a few
burrows between the tracts he meas
ured.
Another claimant is nov trying to
make a better record on the tract.
This plan vas like that of the SET
tiers a quarter of a century ago,
when some of them were putting up
houses so small it was hard to turn
around in them without taking out
n side for the purpose, and the land
Office officials ruled that they would
not in the future consider anything
smaller than a "ten-by-twelve build
ing a house.
This looked like a heavier expense
until some bright mind found that
the ruling did not specify just what
"ten-by-twelve" meant, and with a
house OF the usual six, he also con.
structed a miniature one ten by
twelve inches In size, which he car
ried to the claim at every visit and
placed in position, and when time
came for final proof, with a clear
conscience he swore to the existence
OF a house "ten-by-twelve" on the
land.-Ex.

Bill Parrish had a rather exciting

He was out of the rig and the lone
passenger, Everett Johnston, was hold

going a short distance, but the wheel
ers ran with the stage for about three
wards before stopping. When the
horses started young Johnston was in
the middle seat, but when they
stopped he was in the front seat
holding onto the reins, and his first
question when Bill finally caught up
was. "Say, how in the dickens did |
get into that front seat?" No dam
age was done to the stage except the
breaking Of the gooseneck on the
tongue, but on that account the
stage has been coming in with only

good harvests are expected in Europe.
Seasonable weather has removed the
fears of a shortage caused by the
tempestuous storms of June. Har-
