Three thermometric scales continue
In use despite all efforts on the part
Of scientists to bring about uniform

mometers the interval between freez-
ing water and boiling water is divid-
ed into 180 parts or degrees, freezing
water being placed at % degrees

cold, 80 that the boiling point Of wa
ter was denoted by 31s degrees. Rene
: Antoine Ferchalt de Reaumer, the
French savant, inventor of the ther-

adopted the temperature of freezing
water as his zero, and marked OF
eighty equal parts or degrees between
that point and the temperature of
boiling water. Celsius, a Swede in.
vented about the year 1880 mode Of
graduation called the Centigrade, in
which he took the freezing of water
~ the zero point, and divided the
interval between that and the boiling
point into 100 degrees. Thus 212 de-

grees Reaumer or 100 degrees Cent?
grade: 60 degrees Fahrenheit is equal

History of Holly
COPYRIGHTED
BY the Author.


Soon after the purchase Of the first lot
by Mr.. TutfIe, Mr.. J. S. McMurtry,
vice president Of the First National Bank,
came down from the country in which
Horace and Tribune are located on the
Missouri Pacific railway in western Kan.
sss. and took liking to the prospect
which Holly had for making town. I'm
mediately others from this section BEGAN
to follow him. among the first being Mr..
c. II. Adams, Mr.. A. l.. Hare, Mr..
Sam Harden, Mr.. A. l.. Johnson. A lit
tie later Mr.. S. F. White came from that
country and established the Great Chicago
store.
II is from these people who came from
Greeley county, Kansas, that Holly has
taken its enviable character. The fellow
citizens of these men from the short frass
country now only hear fain, mutterines
Of the terrible war that wseed between
Horace and Tribune, two rival towns
about two miles apart on the Missouri
Pacific. The war between them was OF
the most exciting character. If any of
the men who participated in this fight can
be gotten to unbuckIe and talk, he tells
stories which surpass the interest of q
blooc-curdling dime novel. As soon as
the citizens OF the respective town in
Kansas reached Holly they forgot that
there had been any differences between
her nd tbAxy L.
had been opposed to each other, in max.
ing Holly the town she now is. 1t is
probable that today no citizen Of the town
can tell which men came from Horace
and which from Tribune, and it is only
occasionally that they can be gotten to
talk of their past scrimmaees. A. soon
as these warriors, in travelling from the
north, reached the dip in the mesa, which
sho ed Holly and the promised irrigated
land, they metaphoricaIly fell ON each
others necks and buried the hatchet; and
as the days 60 by the older settlers in
Holly become more and more thankful
that they have cast their lot with US.
When these "short grass" citizens Of
Holly started to leave Greeley county,
they took up not only their beds and
entire household effects, but also their
houses, and walked. The erection of the
building whichis now occupied by Lozar's
pool hall was begun in the fall of 1896 but
before its completion Mr.. George Hollis
had moved his store building from Gree
ley county and was doing business, SO
that while Mr.. McPherson's store was
the first building erected in Holly, Mr..
Hollis store was the first building moved
into Holly and doing business.

Such an Obvious Solution.

After Cave Johnson had served his long and brilliant career in congress and had retired to the quiet private life, he once stepped into the office of his nephew, Robert Johnson, then a young lawyer of much promise. and finding the young man engaged in writing with gold pen, had occasion to remark upon the extravagance of the rising generation
 Why is it. said he. that every young man now has his gold pen. while those of my day were content to use their goosequills?

 Ten days later we were lolling about in the same environment when Han nah again flashed across the vision of our dreams. There was a man with her, too-and a good, husky specimen of a man.
 Dis is my man." she said, with a bridal simper. Ben, this is the lady who told me how to get up my we'd din dress"
 My wife greeted both very nicely. but I refused and lay with my eyes closed. Presently I heard Fannie say to Hannah very low--the bridegroom having separated himself from his bride for a feeting moment:
 But Hannah, I thought his name was Hiram and that he was tall and dark"
 "Oh, Hiram responded Hannah. "Yah-didn't ye see where he was killed in train wreck last Tuesday? And I had the dress all made-an' Ben has been pestering me for months so l jest concluded to hook up wid him"

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
By C. A. PRATT.

We were enjoying the change from the stuffy city and the smoke and the dirt and the hemmed-in flat and all that sort of thing. The spot was most beautiful one and in a state of nature which left nothing to be de, sired. We were boarding at the farm house of William Simpkins-popular- ly known among his neighbors as Bill"
 All this, however, has nothing to do with the love story of Hannah, the domestic servant in the Simplins fam fly, which was thrust upon our atten- ton and which was the occasion of controversy aa violent as we ever per init in between ourselves.
 We were loafing peacefully in the orchard, Fannie in the hammock and I lying flat on my back on the soft grass, eyes closed and enjoying the fragrance of tip-top Havanna, when my soothed and peaceful nerves were startled by voice-a voice speaking to Fannie.
 
 ram-he works over on Higgins farm" these were the first definite words caught. And Hiram sets a powerful store by clothes and style and f1xin's and l don't know much about them things and-and-I thought mebby you bein' from the city, could tell me- how to fix up weddin' dress that would please Hiram. You see he wants to git married in the Lunther'n church, and I want to be jest ez scrumptious ez 1 kin-and mum I've got near $200 saved up an I'm goin' to spend enough of it so Hiram won't be ashamed O me. Would ye please, mum. tell me whether to git a dress from this polky dot lavender or take the green?'
 Fannie" said l, after Hannah had vanished. it seems to me that here is the opportunity to do some fine work for philanthropy and religion and hu- manity and-and-and all that sort of thing-don't you know"
 What do you mean" asked Fannie.
 You are forever looking after TO- 1Qd0CeS anu dli llldI SOlt Ol tuiL6 and here is one ready-made under your very nose"
 Yes" said Fannie, rather coldly.
 Fannie" I said severely, this girl Is diamond in the rough, one of these daughters of nature who without edu- cation, culture, tradition and all that, still have the primitive instincts of the race and arise upon occasion to the great acts and the great sacrifices. Did you hear the very delicate senti- ment she uttered to you? Without knowing why or how she yet appreci- ated with the most tender womanly instinct that Hiram desired clothes and nice things-and she Is going to make great sacrifices for him."
 My wife not responding, I resumed the theme.
 "You see, my dear. while you are literary and all that sort of thing. really you do not see the ultimate philosophy of the race. That type of girl really represents the virtility of the race-from feminine standpoint She is a diamond in the rough. The girls we see-the cultured, educated persons who becloud our standpoint are merely the excrescence-the over done ones. as we might say. But this
