How would a leather helmet do with
ear-tabs on it and a pewter visor.
Christmas is time of good cheer.
1t often makes a man feel good to
get something in his stocking in
stead of getting it in the neck all
the time.
"A green Christmas makes a fat
graveyard" is an old saying, but
a fine December makes people feel
the same way, if you will only take
notice.
The engagement had been broken
for the sixth time. They were a
very fly couple, both went into the
air, still they were not aviators, just
elevators.
Over in Algona surgical opera
woman who did not have the means
to pay for having her appendix re-
moved, went to a dressmaker and
had her kimona cut out.
The question of water for stock is
serious problem in southern Iowa.

spect. Stocks have all the water

sons of the year.
Down in Wright county a woman
was nominated for county recorder

ton and the election she was mar
ried and changed her name from

ed a new disease. There is absolute
ly no cure for it but he knows a
remedy that will alleviate the pain

The diseast attacks the stomach
much like appendicitis, but it does
no good to remove it or the appendix
either, as the pain remains. They
took one mans stomach out and

drawn over on old hustle, but the
pain was there just the same. The
Minnesota man attaches mouse
trap to the hustle and when the pain
starts the trap catches it. He has
a patent on his device.
Meet a woman on the street and
head that has no more warmth in
it than a cobweb, but meet her in
church and she has a basket hay
rack with rooster feather in it six
feet long, and the whole thing
perched on a stack of false hair as
big as smoke house. The hat is
worn to be looked at, and now an
effort is being made to have a ten
foot pole affixed to each pew, so that
the lady can put both the hair
and the hat on il when she takes
her seat. This will enable folks to
see the speaker, and she can also
turn the pole around slowly so they
can see the beauties and wonders
of her hat from all sides without
breaking their necks. The poles will
be long or short according to the
price of the hat. A $25 hat to have
25 foot pole, etc. 1t is an excell-
ent plan and ought to be put in
force in all churches and places of
public meeting.
