XMAS ENTERTAINMENT.

One of the prettiest Christmas en-

was that given by the Methodist
Sunday school.
Miss Emily Griffin's class of lit
tie girls did most of the little chill
dren's part, while Miss Lucy Gill
bert sang a very sweet solo.
Then Miss Lille Boatner, in a very
touching and tender way, told the
story of the "Other Wise Man" as
pictured by DR.. Henry Van Dyke
This sweet talk was one of the most
touching ever delivered by so young
a girl as Miss Boatner, who is a very
talented girl and is always ready to
do her part in entertaining.

The average yield Of the winners in

bushels.
The alfalfa grown under the direc-
ton of the county representatives OF
the North Dakota Experiment Station
averaged 2.3 tons per acre in 1913.
Corn and alfalfa can both be made
to produce more food value per acre
than the grain crops, and when fed to
live stock their value is again in
creased, and especially when fed to
animals of good type.
What constitutes good type is M
of the points that will be brought out

When Hedgehog Awakes.
When a hibernating hedgehog awak
ems it rapidly warns itself up. Wheth
er this is done automatically or wheth
er 1t Is due to the awakening animai
pulling itself together" seems to be
q moot point. The fact is that the
animal rapidly warns itself up. The
chemistry of this is a rapid combus
tion of glycogen along with a small or
moderate quantity of fat. There seems
no doubt that the important fuel which
so rapidly makes the fire Of life burn
up is glycogen; the fat is only sub
sidiary. 1t must be noticed that in
the hedgehog the awakening and the
warming up are two distinct though
associated processes. for the animal
may be awake at lower temperature.
The Waste In Storms.
Many scientists and captains of in
duStry must sigh during thunder
storm at the vast power running TO
waste in the heavens. and at sundry
times attempts have been made to en-
trap and utilize the energy of light
ming. So far, however, all these have
had insignificant results. By way OF
experiment huge rocks have been split
ast nder by attracting the lightning to
them. and in Il few isolated cases it
has been claimed that paralysis has
been cured by shocks administered by
lightning. but as yet mans ingenuity
has not devised the harness that will
turn the wild. free agent of the heav-
ems into tractable horsepower. Lon

MADE THE REPORTER BLUSH.
When the House of Lords Adjourned
at His Suggestion.

When the House of Lords Adjourned
at His Suggestion.
There Is good Fleet street story,
says writer in the London Daily Citi-
zen, of how a reporter once adjourned
the house of lords He had worked in
the gallery of the house of lords for
about quarter of century, and 1t
may be that familiarity had dimmed
his sense Of reverence. One day there
had been a stodgy little debate with
dozen members in the house. and the
reporter, with his colleagues perched
in the gallery. was thoroughly sick OF
the whole business. His feelings found
outlet i'm muttered remark as some
noble lord on the cross benches rose to
continue the debate.
why don't you move the adjourn
ment?" said the reporter to himself.
he said 1t louder than he intended.
and the words reached the noble lord
who had just risen. He on his part
believed the words to be private hint
addressed to him from the lord chan
cellor, and, feeling that be could not
disregard the suggestion. he said. MY
lords, ! move the adjournment Of the
debate"
Instantly the lord chancellor was on
his feet from the woolsack, and their
lordships' house rose for the day.
Hardened as was the reporter, 1t is
stated that as he went out he was
blushing at his achievement
