Iowa Town the Best.

| If you don't like Manson, you who
live in it, just take few days OFF and
go and see some other towns about

last week Went fishing up in Min.
nesota, where nature worked overtime
so many years ago to paint nice land
scapes and dig deep lakes and make
pretty rivers flow through beautiful
valleys, tlanked by undulating hills
covered by matchless oaks and state
| ly pines. When the white man came
that country, he built homes, mills,
factories and railroads, but he didn't
build them like he built them in Iowa..
seemingly. In the lake country of
southern Minnesota We visited and
loafed and fished in several towns as,
large and larger than Manson, but
nary one of them had an electric light
plant, or water wagon to sprinkle
the streets with. The hotels use kero-
sene and gasoline lighting plants,
many Of them being out of date as,
they are. There is plenty of water
power there and it is utilized to run
the mills, but nobody seems to want
good clean light and power, the mod
ern kind, at that, bad enough to hustle
around and organize an electric light
company. Didn't see window dis
play in any of the stores, either. And
the churches don't seem to be as we'll
kept and as inviting as they are in
Manson. Yes, we went to church, too,
and found out that Manson has, 'em
skinned there. Don't laugh or boot,
or jeer, for we are telling the truth
for once. And, say boys, the beer isn't
as good as it is here. They make. it
+ in small brewerfes in the small towns
and small cities and it does not taste
right at all You'd think too, that with
ice by the million carloads right at
their very doors every winter, and the
best ice on earth at that, that ice
would be plenty in your ice tea and
on the tahle-but it isn't. It's soarcer
than if it was sixty cents a. hundred
! at the ice house and push your own
lwheelbarrow. The whole civic system
in Manson and other towns of it's size
| in Iowa is away ahead of the civic
system in towns of the same size up
in the Gopher state. The men,; women
and children are better looking, bet
ter kept and more prosperous in APP
pearanee all around. Judging from APP
pearances there are about three or
four people in every one Of those
towns who own lawn mowers and they
won't lend them to their neighbOrs.
The scythes are all broken or lost,
and the kids are all too busy fishing
to pull the weeds and dandeli0ns. This
isn't roast on any Of those towns, for
the people who live in them are all
hospftable and they make every rea-
sonabfe charge for entertainment.
Most anybody can catch all kinds of
game fish in the lakes and have a
good time all aroundl-hut the towns
are away behind Manson in every
thing, so if you are Kicking on your
Eown town, take a trip into that coun-
try and compare it with some of the
Towns of it's size.-ANfanson Democrat

Death by Drowning.

A group of old salts at Sailors Snug
Harbor were discussing the popular
belief that a drowning person must
come to the surface of the water three
times before he can possibly drown.
"Well," said Captain Tom Morgan,
there is little ground for that suppo-
sition. The truth is, a drowning per-
son may sink the first time, never to
rise again, or he may, as in the ma
iority of cases, rise three times before
he sinks forever.
1T all depends on the quantity OF
water that he swallows when he sinks
and the size of his lungs. The human
body in life naturally floats while the
lungs are inflated. So long as one
keeps his head above the water he can
float with very little effort.
But as soon as the person sinks he
gulps down lot Of water. If after
he has swallowed this water he has
any air left in his lungs he will un'
doubtedly rise again and will continue
to sink and rise until the air has all
been worked out of his lungs.
"In most cases the frightened victim
swallows enough water when he sinks
the first time to leave him exhausted
hut as there is still air left in the lungs
he soon finds himself on the surface
again. Each time he sinks, however
the supply of air in his lungs grows
LESS until ultimately there is nothing
left to support him, when he will
ldrown."-New York Herald.

One of the strangest freaks which
ever came to our notice is that of a
three-legged chicken which hen, be-
longing to frankie Pearson, recently
Matched out. The chicken is perfect
specimen of the Black Langshan fam
lily, is normal in every detail with the
execution of the third leg and that
member is as perfectly developed as
either of the others. frankie may
try to propagate this specie and raise

case he succeeds we have a notion
that he will find a tremendous
market for his product among preach
ers and preacher entertainers.-Lane
