THE LICENSE MIDDLE
AS Reported BY An Editor Having
More Imagination Than Veracity

The game warden ran in an old maid
over at Algona for hunting without a
license. 1t was proven that she has hunt
ted for a man for thirty seven years with
out a license She put in plea that she
was willing to pay for q license but the
county clerk wouldn't issue one unless
she named the party of the second part.
She named an old bach of the town and
then the clerk was so unreasonable that
he wanted the old bach's signature to
the application. The bach refused to sign
and called the old maid an old hen. The
court then found the old bach guilty of
using fowl language, the clerk was found
guilty of COnspiring to form merger,
the game warden was fined ten dollars
on complaint of the old bach for an at
tempt to ensnare wild game out of sea
son. then the old maid had the warden
arrested and fined for false imprisOn-
ment on the plea that the open season
for old maids to hunt man continued
throughout the whole year in Algona.
The clerk then put i'll claim against
the old maid for an attempt tOget goods
under false pretense, us she had signed
her name at twenty-five, and he also
had the old bach arraigned for breaking
the speed ordinance in getting away
from court. The old bach had the war
den arrested for using decoy and then
hiding behind blind, then the clerk
had the old bach arrested for not stop
ping to whistle four hundred feet from
a crossing. The last heard from them the
old bach was still running and the old
maid after him with writ of habeas
corpus and an information charging
Contempt of court. p. ID. Swick's

The Same Down Here

The Dell Rapids Tribune remarks that
never in the recollection of the writer
has the change of season from winter to
spring been accomplished so quickly and
easily as during the last ten days. Two
weeks ago only sleighs were used on the
roads to any extent, and ten days ago
the sleighing was yet fairly good. Five
days later, or last Sunday, the snow was
practically gone and some lawns were
showing the green tint of spring very
perceptibly, and Monday a team was
observed blowing in a field near Sioux
Falls. The small amount of water re-
sulting from the melting snow was also
surprising, the greater part of it appar-
emily being absorbed by the soil, there
being but little frost in the ground, and
as consequence it should be in fine
condition for the crops.

THE STAGE IN JAPAN.
Origin Of the Drama-Women's Ardu.
Gus Preparations of Dress.

Origin Of the Drama-Wonen's Ardu.
Gus Preparations Of Dress.
There is legend in Japan that the
theater had its origin in that country
in the ninth century by reason Of an
earthquake which took place in the
province of Yamato. A large crevice
was formed by reason of the uplieaval,
from which emanated poisonous vapors
which spread death and destruction
result until the priests conceived the
idea Of performing symbolic dance
of Incarnation on the grass covered
hill outside the temple. AS If by mag
ic the death vapors vanished, and
peace and happiness were restored to
the country. The legend concludes
that this is how japanese acting orig
mated. The Japanese word for thea
ter, shibai-ya. is supposed to have
come from its origin, shibai, meaning
sod, and va, q house.
In japan when a japanese lady in
tends to go to the theater she is called
upon the day previous by hairdress-
er to build up the artificial structure
which is the pride of every japanese
highborn lady. This necessitates her
spending the night In her state dress,
reclining her head on Il wooden block,
called makura. A few hours before
going to the theater she covers her
lips with thin layer of gold, as it
takes several hours for this paint to
change into the cherry color which
lends charm to the artificial white COM
plcXion of the face.
AS rule. Japanese performances
last from a. IN. to 0 p. M, although
certain historical dramas which follow
the life of the hero through all his
vicissitudes to his death go on for sew
eral days.
In japan, officially. the social posi-
ton of the actors Is that of the lowest
class Of society, but In reality they en-
JOY great consideration and are idol
lied by the general public.-Washing

Hogs Higher As Years Ago

Uncle Billy Wilson tells us we
We're wrong last week in saying hogs
are higher now than at any time in
Marengo's history. He bought two car
loads in 1865 for $l1 and Sl2 hundred,
and sold them to Geo Fletcher and
Charlie White for $l3. Also again in
1869 hogs were $ll in Chicago. OF course
it should be remembered it took over
two dollars of currency to buy n dollar
of gold in 1865, which made a big diff
ference. At one time he bought hogs
here as low as ~. They have had their
ups and downs. -Marengo Republican

A Sensible Innovation

High School graduation is becoming
much too expensive. 1t is made too
much of dress parade for poor people.
1t is reported that in order to eliminate
all strife and contention among gradu-
ates during the commencement season
of the school year, the school board of
Usage at a recent meeting, voted to pur-
chase caps and gowns for each graduate
This innovation is most sensible and we
hope to see the day when it will be
adopted by school boards everywhere
The boys and girls ought to look as
much alike as possible on commencement
day

SUN FRANKS.
Irregularities For Which Science Can

Irregularities For Which Science Cam
not Altogether Account.
The sun is generally looked upon as
model of regularity which never
fails In its duty, but the ancient his
torians mention several instances
when 1t failed to give forth its usual
amount of heat and light for periods
varying from three hourS to several
months. Data on the subject have
been compiled by the St. Louis Repub-
lie.
According to Plutarch. the year A
B. G. was one In which the sun was
weak and pale" for period approx.
mating eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
several months Of diminished sunlight
10 the year 934 A. d.. and. according
to Humboldt. this uRcanny period end
ed with strange and startling sky phe-
nomena. such as loud atmospheric ex-
p!osions. riffs in the vaulted canopy
Of blue above and In divers other rare
and unaccountable freaks"
In the year 1901, ON Sept. 20 (see
Humboldt's "Cosmos'D the sun turned
suddenly black AL remained so for
three hours and did not regain its nor
NAL condition for several days.
According to the noted Helmuth's
'SOlar Energy" the days of seeming
inactivity on the part Of the sun Che
days following the sudden blackening
Of the great orb were noted for a
peculiar greenish tinge and are mark
ed in old Spanish. French and Italian
records as "the days of the green sun"
February, l106 A., D., is noted In the
annals of marvellous phenomena as q
month In which there were several
days that the sun appeared dead and
black, like great circular cinder float
ing in the sky"
ION the last day of February, 1906"
says an old Spanish writer on astron-
omy. astrology and kindred subjects,
'the sun appeared suddenly to go out.
causing darkness over the country
for about six hours" In 1241 the Eu-
ropean countries experienced another
siege Of supernatural darkness. which
the superstitious writer's Of that time
attributed to Gods displeasure over
the result Of the great battle of LEG
nitz
Even today there are certain irregu.
larities of the sun that science cannot
altogether account for. These are the
so called sun spots-enormous darl
splotches which appear from time tc
time on the solar disk and which are
supposed to have great influence on
the atmospheric conditions of the
earth. Scientists have long studied
these phenomena, but neither their ex-
tent nor periodicity has ever been de-
termined.
