CHRISTMAS AT THE ASYLUM

ceived gifts of some kind on Christ
mas, and many of them were re-
membered with something special
from friends. The number was in
creased very materially by an open
letter from DR.. Poole to the public
given publicity by number Of news
papers, inviting people to do some
thing for the unfortunates, many of
whom have no known friends or rel
atives to do anything for them at
Christmas time. The big public
heart responded with all kinds of
nice things that helped to brighten
the occasion, and a great Christmas
tree with it's attendant pleasantries
was the center of attraction Monday
evening. Provision was made for
each one to receive a bag containing
ca9j1y, popcorn and banana in ad-
di3on to whatever might be sent by
friends or relatives. Rev. Mr. Jewell

A PLEASANT EXCURSION

Friday evening the demonstration
train went down the Aberdeen branch
and took on passengers at Pingree,
Springfield and Yuma, and carried
them free of charge to Aberdeen ana
back, to attend the lectures and to
enable them to see the EXHIBITS ON
the train. About forty persons got
on at Pingree, thirty at Springfield
and thirty at Yuma, and they were
shown through the exhibit cars in
sections SO that all had finished by
the time the train reached aberdeen.
Then the Aberdeen people were
shown the exhibits and the lectures
followed. The train was packed, and
speakers changed cars every twenty
minutes, so that each subject was
given to each carload or people.
Travelling Passenger Agent Newton
was in charge Of the train and he
seemed to take great pleasure in CIV
ing the settlers every service possi-
BILE, and seemed as delighted to have
all the boys get the free ride DIS were
the boys themselves. w. ]. Ingling,
assistant superintendent of the Mon
tana division, was in the party, and
when he learned that several men On
the train would have to walk three
miles along the track to get to their
homes after passing their nearest
station, he arranged to let them off
at their home crossings and save
them the walk. Some fellows dog
that got on board and hid under the
seats was taken off at Blackroot and
tagged to be carried back next day
on the regular train.
The whole lecture party and train
crew expressed the keenest satisfac-
tion in the trip down the branch be-
cause the settlers were so interested
and attended en- masse.

GUN SKATERS BOYS LEG

Last Tuesday Lawrence Stander,
the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Stander Of Thomas, was acci-
dentally shot In the calf of the leg
and the limb had to be amputated.
Several Of the boys had gathered
to go hunting and two or three who
were going out through the yard to-
gether with one gun, had a little
playful scuffle with the gun, taking
no precautions because they all un-
derstood that 1t was not loaded. The
gun was discharged, tearing most of
the muscle from the leg and shatter-
ing the bones so that amputation was
necessary. 1t was taken off four
inches below the knee, the operation
being done by DR.. Hoover, assisted
by Drs. Davis and Patrie.
The patient rallied from the shock
as the physicians expected, but un-
der what is called the secondary
shock he did not bear up well, and
continued to sink until two o'clock
Thursday morning when he passed
away.
The funeral will probably be con-
Quoted at about noon today, and wilt
be from the Thomas hall, the burial
taking place at the Riverside-Thomas
cemetery.

ART AND ARCHITECTURE IN
CAKES

Probably the finest cakes ever
seen in Blackfoot were on exhibition
at the Cottage hotel on Christmas
day. They were made by the chef,
Robert Duncan, who has prepared
meals for presidents and other dis
tinguished persons. and guests at the
hotel appreciate him for his ability
to prepare the good everyday dishes
as we'll as fancy things.
For some three weeks before
Christmas he was working little
each day on two large fruit cakes
that had much of architecture and
art expressed in form and finish. One
story above another with posts and
pinnacles in regular rows, little col
umns connected with cords and stud
ded with pearls and shells were some
of the features that brought forth
exclamations from the guests, and
the question How did he make
them?" The columns and cordage
were all made of dough and frosting
and were so perfectly uniform in the
dozens and hundreds of spans and
strands, that they were the talk of
the hotel.
One of the cakes was cut up and
eaten at dinner, but the other Is still
ON exhibition in the dining room and
may remain for some time.

The worlds record for plowing was
recently broken in a demonstration
at Purdue university, Indiana, In
which gang plow having SO plows
and drawn by three traction engines
turned over a stubble field at the
rate OF an acre every AZ minutes
This mammoth plow cuts a strip
nearly 60 feet wide, aand turns over
z acres for every mile it travels. Each
Of the plows is independent of the
others, rising and falling as easily
and naturally as wooden chip on
the surface of rough water, SO that
the service of the machine is not
confined to ground absolutely level.
What such plow as the one
shown can accomplish when started
out on an open, fairly level prairie
is remarkable. Allowing for no de-
lays, it will turl Z acres for every
mile triveled, IA acres every hour,
and. working - hours per day, six
days per week, It will plow 1000
acres. Workh.s two shifts of men
and blowing all night, as is now often
done. the acrearc turned over in a
week would just doubled. Fifty

oxen had to toli from dawn to sun
