Making a Scrap Book.

Mankind may be divided into two
classes. those who preserve fugitive
clippings and those who don't. Among
the former are many who for lack of
classification become victims of their
own belongings. They clip assiduous-
ly, they lay aside newspapers contain
ing articles they wish to- keep for ref
erence, and they postpone the task of
sorting and arrangement to the rainy
day or the interval of leisure which
never arrives. Presently they are dis
mayed to find themselves confronted
by pile of ephemeral literature noun
tain high, wherein it seems hopeless
even to blaze trail. That is where the
person of imeticulous, orderly habits
shows his irritating superiority. With
him day unto day has uttered wisdom;
he has tabulated and pigeonholed his
stores as they came to his hand. 1t
does not prove that you are literary
and learned to raise a vast rubbish
heap around yourself or to live in a
ruin that suggests the visit of Zeppe-
lin. Those who keep scrapbooks are
likely to reckon them among the most
precious items in their libraries.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

Why They Walk In Circles.

eff you were lost in desert or in a
forest and tried to, find your way out
says a well known scientist, ''yOu
would be almost sure to walk in a
circle" This well known fact is due
to slight inequality in the length of
the legs. Careful measurements Of a
series of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal in length, So per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while
in 55 per cent the left limb was the
longer. -s- 49,, =
The result of one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that a
person will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb, and conse-
quently will trend to the right or left,
according as the left or right leg is the
longer. The left leg being more fire.
quently the longer, the inclination
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion is quite borne out by observa-
tons made on a number of persons
when walking blindfolded. The in
equality in the length of limb is not
confined to any sex or race, but seems
to be universal in all respects.

NEW STATE BANK FOR WILLARD

B. ]. Schramm returned to Sank

three weeks in Willard, organizing

that C. J. LeCount, one of the well
known farmers residing near Willard,

The Silver Eox-

The silver fox is really a black fox,

a quarter of century ago the little
animal, which weighs when full grown
only about twelve pounds, became al
most extinct. Because of the beauty
of its fur the species was trapped IN
til almost the last of them had disap-
peared. For long time the standard
price offered by the Hudson Bay com

Canadians, half breeds and Indian

HEARING ON TEL EPHON RATES
Rural Companies Watching Develop
ments in Southeastern Minneso-
ia This Week.

More than 1900 rural telephone
companies are indirectly concerned in
the hearing this week at Preston and
Caledonia, Minnesota, by the Mime
sofa Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission, to ascertain, among other
things, the cost of telephone switch
ing. 1t is expected that upward of
sixty rural telephone lines connecting
with the exchanges of the Standard
Telephone Company at Preston and
Caledonia will be represented at the
meeting, and will give evidence on
this matter for the benefit of the COM
mission.
The Standard Company is an Iowa
corporation, with headquarters at
Waukon, Iowa, and has entered this
state from the south. 1t has applied
to theaMinnesotae Railroad and Ware
house Commission for authority to in
crease its rates at the two points
named, and in the general question
there is involved the cost of switching
for the rural lines, about twenty-five
of which enters each Of the two
towns. r
1t is hoped that great deal of val
liable information concerning the re-
lations of rural lines and local ex-
changes will be btained, as there are
a number of questions growing out of
these relations which soon must he
met and decided by the commission.

Bio and Little Bibles,

There are no fewer than no different
editions of the oxford Bible in Eng
lish. varying from the magnificent folio
edition for pulpit purposes to the bril-
liant Bible, the smallest edition of the
Scriptures in the world. Of the revised
version fourteen editions are published.
More than million copies of the re-
vised New Testament had been ordered
before the day of publication in May of
1881, and it is claimed that the work
ingmen of the establishment refused a
bride of some $4,000 to furnish a copy
of the book before the day of issue.
The largest folio Bible printed in Ok
ford measures 10 by II inches, and no
erratum has as yet been found in it.

Curious Recruiting Custom.

NEWSPAPER MAN WEBS.

the last half may be paid any time
before or on the last day of October
without mourning a penalty. An adj
ditional penalty of per cent is
added after the taxes become delin-
quent. Jan. and fees and other it
ems are added from time to time
after that until the taxes, if still
unpaid, are collected by the sheriff
or judgment is entered against the
property.
County Treasury Schmitt gives
warning that the penalty will be.
charged promptly on the first day of
November and that no payments will
be accepted after Oct. 81 without
the penalty added. In making this
a rule he is acting as the state law
compels him to do and the public
examiner holds treasurers account
able for infringements of this law
even if the treasurer himself were
disposed to make allowances. He
cannot accept payments without pen
atty after the penalty attaches.
Mr.. Schmitt also urges taxpayers
to make their payments early instead
of waiting until the last day of grace,
as there is always a rush at the
treasurer's office as penalty day
draws near.

Ten Per Cent Will Be Added on All
Unpaid Taxes Oct. 31-Penalty
January First.

One month remains in which the
last half of the real estate taxes may
be paid without penalty, says the st.

paid on or before Oct. 81 to avoid
the penalty, which is 10 per cent OF
the amount of the tax. If the first
half is still unpaid, no additional pen
atty will be charged until the first
Monday in January, as 10 per cent is
charged on the entire tax for failure
to pay the first half before June 1.
Taxes become delinquent on the first
Monday in January, when the new
tax is due
Thus, if no payment was. made be-
fore June l, payment may be made
in full any time before Jan. 1 and

When Your Foot Is Asleep.

After being for long time in con-
strained attitude a peculiar numbness
and pricking are often felt in the arm,
leg or foot. This is caused by some in
terruption to the circulation and can
usually be removed by rubbing or ex-
ercise The reason of the sensation,
which is decidedly uncomfortable while
it lasts, is that pressure for certain
length of time deadens the sensibility
of nerve. When this pressure is sud
