Mrs. Drake of Manhattan has been
visiting at Dry Creek, Cloud county
There is one thing about this hot
weather, remarks the optimistic editor
of the Burlington Independent; it can
last only a few more months.
Says Mrs. Tom Thompson in her in
teresting columns of the Howard
Courant: Many a bride who receives
cut glass stands more in need of
dictionary.
Projected by the Lindsborg News
Vitascope: The trouble with some
folk is that they are too heavy for
light work and too light for heavy
work.

Verd Napier of the Blue Mound Sun,
Cousin Rip never kills time He just
sits around and waits for it to die
natural death"
Will Stichnot of Burlington has
gone to work in his fathers shoe shop.
And if names counted for anything
the Stichnot would probably use pegs
exclusively in their shoe repair work.
1t is said that King George and
Queen Mary approve of the Staircase
Waltz in the musical comedy THE
Count of Luxembourg" which is to

staircase waltz" which is such a sue
cess will probably be followed by

Kinsley Graphic.
How to tell the secret of a girls age
is laid bare by the Havensville Review,
as follows: Tell her to put down the
number of the month in which she was
born then to multiply it by 2, then add
5, then to multiply it by SO, then to
add her age, then to subtract 1865, then
to add IFS. then tell her to tell you the
amount she has left. The two figures
to the right will tell you her age and
the remainder the month of her birth
For example, If the amount is S22, she
is 22 years old and was born in
the eighth month (August.) Try 1t. y
This is all very we'll, but suppose she
won't put down the numbers and do
the necessary figuring. What then2
Ina Dinger was telling one of his
stories of immense proportions the
other day when another one of ouI
citizens who claims some distinction as
story teller happened along and told
this one. relates the Moline Review
He said that some years ago he was
working on a II story building in Chi
cago and while working on the rool
accidentally stepped off, falling the /
stories. but lighting squarely on nj;
feet and having on heavy rubber heels
he commenced to bounce, and bounced
/ for two days and one night, wheT
finally a man came along with shot
gun and ooligingly shot the rubber heels
| off. He thinks if the fellow hadn't done
this for him he would have bounced
there until he starved to death
James Stogsdill, who recently bough
a new Ford car. is having quite a tus
sic, it seems, breaking his machine Z
| drive, reports the Chase County Leader
He drove up to his garage the othei
day. and the doors being closed, n
holIered whoa" at his car but instead
of needing him and stopping like tn
gentle old nag he used to drive, thu
machine went straight ahead, knocking
the doors down, finally checking VI
short at the other end Of the garage
The only damage done was the broker
garage door. It's pretty hard to trail
an auto to gee and ''ha' and whoa
and It's pretty hard for a man who hal
ALWAYS driven horses to think ever,
time to work levers and wheels insteaC
of using his tongue. Mr.. Stogsdiu i
only about three score ten, however
and there is plenty Of time for a younl
man like him to learn new tricks.
