Her Way of Spanking

Dorothy is five years old and longs supremely to join the de- mocracy trOoping by every morn ing to the public school. Incl dentally she keeps the family informed of school affairs after they have been refashioned in her infant mind. The other day she hurried her mother to the window to observe a very ele- gant and severe looking lady who was passing.
 "That's the very headest lady at the school" explained the vouid.be scholar importantly. "They send you to her wben you're naughty, and she opens the window and sticks yo0 half out, then she shuts it down on you while she spanks what hangs jnSide.T

Death Rate Decreasing

According to the census sta tistics the death rate for 1909, having dropped iu one year from 15.4 per 1000 to 15 per 1900. is lower than at any previous time. While this is welcome news and an evidence that the fight against disease in all parts of the coun- try is having it's effect. it is to be regretted that the mortality among children under 5 years of

funny Sayings of

 "Now, perhaps, God, you don't know who's talking to you. I'm Mir. Blanks. little girl, and he is the pastor of the First Church, and the best preacher in the whole blamed country"

 Why, of course they do. What makes you ask?"
 "Cause 1 never see any pie lures of angels with whiskers. ;"
 Little John had been taken to the funeral of 8 little friend. Looking at the casket, he asked what was in it.
 "Dear little Catherine" re- piled his mother.
 "Where is she going?"
 "To heaven, ''replied his mother.
 "When I go to heaven, said John, thoughtfuily, II don't want to go like Catherine. 1 want to sit on the seat with the driver"

Alfalfa; l.70 acres: This was SOW .. May IS I9C0, welding three cuttings Of about five tons Of cicaT hay the first season. During the sec ond season, covered by this Timely Hint, there were seven cuttings with a total of about A tons of hay. The only cash outlay was S224l for irrigating water. The labor re- Quired was, mans time, l4 days and team nine days, which Is rather high labor require ment for this alfalfa on account Of the small size of the field un der consideration, and linn ited use of machinery. This crop at g OO 10 5000 a ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents a cash return of not less than S1Aa.O0 for the crop; but this hay was used to feed Ihr team employed on the place, proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose, since a stack of about three tons re- mains at the end of the season.

THE AUDUBON CITY COUNCIL
Held Special Meeting And Bought A
New Pump And New Engine

On "Wednesday of last week the town
council of Audubon held II special meet
ing and after due deliberation entered
into contract TO purchase new pump
for the waterworks and u new gasoline
engine to pump the water. The pump
costs $4,000 and the engine. which is a
twenty horse power, costs u like amount.
Including the foundation and install.
ment the total expense will probably
run about 81 800. 90 The contract calls
for cash after thirty days trial If the
pump and engine are found satisfactory.
We are pleased to note the fact that
there is sufficient surplus i'm the water
fund Ia pay cash for these improve
mentS AS we understand il the boiler
and pump now in use belong To the city
Mr.. Freeman has used them and has re,
ceired $4,000 Il month To furnish the
coal and attend to pumping the water.
The time has come when il has become
necessary To replace both the boiler and
the pump. But the Mayor and the
Council decided rather to buy "a new
engine and do the pumping with Ii in
order To lessen expenses. The town
owns that part of the building in which
the pumping is done and it is expected
the Marshal will take charge of the
work. In this way il is believed that,
counting interest ON investment, the
wear and tear, and the expense of gaso-
line the total expense Of pumping the
water will he less than half the sum
paid heretofore. but of course that will
be determined more definitely by expert,

Formation of Dew.

Ground Il little below the surface is
always warmer than the air above 1t.
So long as the surface of the ground is
above the dew point vapor must rise
and pass from the earth into the air.
The moist air SO formed will minglc
with the air above it, and its moisture
will be condensed, forming dew wher-
ever it comes i'm contact with Il surface
cooled below the dew point. In fact,
dew rises from the ground
But how is the dew formed on bod
les high up in the air!
Dew does not rise in PARTICLES, as 1t
was once considered To fall i'll particles
like fine rain 1t rises in Vapor. Some
is caught by what is on the surface of
the earth, but the rest ascends in Nap0r
form until il comes in contact with .
much colder surface to condense 1t
into moisture. The vapor does not
flow onward in uniform stream, but
is mixed in the air by eddies aud
wind currents and carried TO bodies
far from where it rose. In fact dew
may be deposited, even though the
country for many miles all around be
dry and incapable of yielding any
vapOr. In such cases the supply or
vapor to form that dew would de-
pend on the evaporation of the dew
and on what was waited over by the
winds

FOR SHAME!

At recent hearing the Superintend-
ent of a Brooklyn reformatory denied
that he had struck boy over the
head.
No, stree!
The boy deserved whatever he got
If | hit him any place it was ACROSS

That was what he said out loud on
the witness stand. And the shame of
it!
This brutal Overseer, remember, was
no prison guard, but head Of re

ened and calloused by i'll treatment or
bad surroundings, are supposed to be
treated with tact and kindness in or
er ambitions.

that the Manual Training boys were
compelled to fashion clubs with which
they and other boys were to he beaten.
Ant
One small boy after being whipped
for nearly an hour-presumably struck
across the face few times-was
dragged from under the bed, where
he crouched in agony and fear, and
beaten some more.
Are there any merciful folk with red
blood in their veins in or about Brook
lyn?
Human cattle like this boss of boys
would not dare to beat horse or Il
dog in such manner. They would be
afraid of prosecution for cruelty to au-
imals.
But child
Why. Il child is helpless. 1t cannot
fight back or should it do so, would
speedily rue it. Let us. therefore, vent
our spleen on the small creature.
Should one of these natural born
slave drivers get mad at Il big. husky
man would he try TO vent his rage
Not while discretion is the better part
OF valOr.
1t is bad enough when the natural
parent mistakenly deems it his occa-
sional duty to beat his child, which
beating. if given in anger, only lmrdens
the heart of the child against the par
ent.
But
TO hear burly boss talk frankly
about his beating and bruising of an
orphaned or helpless child, striking
him across the face in yengeful All
ger
Why. this makes one wish that such
a bullying wretch might suddenly meet
somebody as much bigger than he as
he is bigger than the child who would

equal and exact justice.

ONLY A SECTION HAND.

A few days ago Frank Angelica
died the hero's death.
Section hand? A hero? Yes, and he
was an Italian only a year over from
the old country and Just twenty-One.
1t was OIL the Panhandle railroad,
near Steubenville, o. The young man
was walking the track when he noted
q little schoolgirl in danger of being
run down on another track by Il
freight train.
BY shouting and gestures he induced
the girl to get off the track just In
time to save her. But
So intent was Angelica in saving
the girl that a passenger train unno-
ticed bore down upon him and crushed
out his life.
That is one story of heroism in our
common life, everyday heroism. Here
is another:
Not long ago Il Mexican section hand
on the Santa Fe railroad in New Mex
ico saved the lives of hundreds of pas
sengers on a limited train.
The section men had been repairing
the track, and all was supposed to be
right. The heavy train was bearing
down on the section gang when sud
denly little bent Mexican discovered
something wrong with Il rail.
He saw that if the rail was not fixed
the train would he wrecked. He jump
ed to the place and spiked it. And
Before the little old man could get
away the engine struck him and threw
his poor, mashed body into the ditch.
Inside the train men lolled and read
and smoked and women talked TO one
another, all unconscious Of their quick
deliverance.
And the little old Mexican died in
the ditch.
One of these section hands was fresh
from the vineyard slopes Of southern
Italy; the other had wife and chill
dren in old Mexico, and they We're
heroes, both.
Surely. And if you have ever looked
disdainfully on ''dagO" or classed all

A Famous Story

One of the most famous serial stories
ever written, The Hidden Hand, will
be seen in the form of play in four
acts ut the M. w. A. Theatre, in Audu-
bon, Iowa, on February IL, 1910. The
author of the drlmatization is the well
known actor, Eugene Moore He has
constructed an unusually powerful play
from Mrs. Southworth's book with one
of the most delightful mixtures of come
dy, pathos, southern character, romance
mystery and picturesque scenery that it
is possible to beput upon the stage. Mr..
Moore has made that fine fascinating
creature, Capitola Black, stronger than
ever, and there are few such good come
dy characters as . Wool is in this play
OF all stage Williams Black Donald =
is one of the few most sought after by
actors of such parts. The scenes of the
four acts of Mr.. Moore's Hidden Hand
are laid in Old Virginia and the play
reveals the good old times in whole
some, homelike manner with darkies,
laughter, music, crisis in the lives of
the lifelike, homely folk and genuine
glimpses of one portion of the land of
the free of yesterday The production
will come with special scenery and n
good company under the direction of
Fred G.. Conrad on Thursday, February
