Hugo Munsterberg, the Harvard ply
chologist, was talking about Christian
Science, and in the midst OF pro-
found and brilliant analysis Of Chris

said, '1oathe meat, which they call
graveyard fruit; and the children OF
Christian Scientists are more convinc-
ed devotees than the parents them
selves. Ny B

ment. The aunt was mindful of Mary's
faith and of those contradictory tears,
and with a mocking smile she said;
s"'Why, Mary, are you hurt?

BAD STORM SWEEPS COUNTY
Lighning Plays Havoc With Farm
Buildings and Stock

Monday night, Vernon county was
visited by another disastrous starm.
marked by heavy wind, teffiis down
pour of rain and destructive lightning.
Storm damage reports which have so
far been received tend to show severe
and general destruction throughout this
section.
John Gardner of Sterling town suffers
the loss of his barn, silo and tobacco
she'd containing some machinery, all of
his newly harvested hay crop and a
registered calf. With great difficulty
he managed to save his horses. His
loss is almost total, as he carried but
little insurance.
Sam Jerman of the same town also
suffered similar affiiction, bis base
ment barn being struck and DESTROYED.
He succeeded in saving part Of bis
horses, but one horse, five calves, part
of his machinery and all of his hay were
consumed. His loss is in excess of
81, 900. about half covered by insurance.
Mrs. Joe Nelson's barn at Liberty
Pole was struck and badly shattered
but not fired. A fine horse was killed
by the bolt.
John Melvin of Webster had a COW
killed while standing near wire fence
in the pasture.
In the storm of tive weeks ago, the
residence of NJ. j. Dolen at Rising Sun
was badly damaged by lightning, but
no fire resulted. What seems to be a
miracle is that eight people were in the
house at the time and none were even
shocked.

those who stood in the receiving line
we're Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Cortland,

HE EVIDENTLY MAKES GOOD
AS State Farmer. George B. Fischer
IS Commended

The Wanpun Leader Of late date con-
taiBs the sub-joined article commend
ing the services of Geo. B. Fischer as
manager of the state priso.l Iarm:
1T has been the cEstora for some
years to sell all hogs bred and raised
on the prison farm on the general mar
ket. until Superintendent Fischer, the
present incumbent, took charge. Dur
ing the twelve months, last past, the
hogs have been slaughtered, and the
value of the pork delivered at the pris-
on for the use Of the cOnvicts aggrega-
ties 81, 576 %. During the same length
of time enough grain has been raised to
last up to July lst, just passed, and
enough hay, silage, straw, etc., TO last
until new crops are in store with a
surplus over all needs, and now on
hand, of many tons. To synopsize, the
income from the prison farm during the
last year was between SO, 600 and $10.-
600, with expenses of less than SIS, 600
for lator. supplies and OUTLAWS of all
kinds. Besides this cash income there
has been an increase in the number of
cattle, hogs, ETC., kept on the farm.
Every effort is being made to keep
down and to permanently eradicate the
Canada thistles, quack gitasB and other
noxious weeds. Preparations are now
under way to erect new, dairy and
hay barn, which the farm has needed
for long time. Among recent pLr-
chases made by the board of control in

tendent. All the farm buildings are
beirg repainted with good coat of old
fashioned white paint. Superintendent
Fischer has the happy faculty Of doing
practical farming, the results of close
study and hard work, of which the facts
given above are the best testimonials. =
