CUTTING TEETH.

Cutting teeth is pastime which ba-
bies indulge in. in order to prevent
their parents from oversteeping.
The average baby is born with stall
room for several teeth no two OF
which sprout at the same time. On
he contrary, they drift into place one
by one instead Of coming up in serried
ranks. like the asparagus or the long
wasted radish. We have some bright
men in the medical profession in this
country, but they have never been able
to correct this evil, which teaches US
that our, schools % medicine could be

When baby begins to cut his tirst
teeth he will inform everybody of the
fact who is not stone deaf in both e.
lobes. There is, something about the
loud, determined accents and annoyed
facial expression of baby which is
cutting teeth that prevents anybody IN
the same room from sleeping in con-
tented and melodious manner. No one
who has ever had three or four tnno-
cent little babies in rapid succession
will ever confuse the tone OF voice
used by them during the teething Pc
Rod with the playful coo which sue

is made that good share Of motor ear
dangers would be eliminated If people
would practice good manners on the

statement. There was a time when A
man with an automobile on the coun-
try road was curiosity. Persons
stepped to one side to see the strange
sight pass Usually they had to get
out and hold the horses head in order
to avoid a runaway.
There are a good many autoists who
still consider themselves privileged
characters. They refuse to give any
share of the road at all to horse drawn
vehicles and they try 70 frighten an
approaching motor driver into getting
out of the way. In the same class
must be placed the man who holds to
the road when car in the rear wishes
to pass, the man who blinds an APP

and the man who hogs the road on
every and all occasions.

IHECPklluS AND EVANS.

If added proof of the complete or

THE SMITH, A MIGHTY WOMAN IS she.

A woman graduated at the Ames
college the other day as blacksmith
and is intending TO open up a black
smith shop in Burlington soon. Her
specially will be repairs on farm ma
chinery. They say she is cracking
good blacksmith, that she worked at
the forge in the training shop just as
any Of the male smiths turned out In
that class.
Well, why not? Blacksmithing isn't
any harder than doing the washing for
a family and hired man. 1t isn't
hotter than cooking for threshers over
a big range stuffed with willow wood
in August. 1t isn't as destructive Of
eyes and nerves as the present rage Of
fine crocheting. A forge hammer isn't
heavier than big six pound fiatiron.
It's an easy TO weld five sixteenrhs
rod with a light hammer as to mop
wide and dirty kitchen floor and az
easy to keep tab on repair work as on
the grocery bill and three or four
young ones. She'll get along all right,
cultivate muscle and have health and
earn enough money to keep a husband
in that blacksmith shop
OF course it is an innovation. We
have been led by Mr.. Longfellow to be-
lieve that the smith must be mighty
man with large and sipewy hands.
When we come across a barearmed
Venus, standing before her smithy,
perhaps under spreading cottonwood
tree, pretty as a peach with mayhap
just enough smudge on her tip tilted
nose to add piquancy to the picture it
will make the Village Blacksmith look
like thirty cents, but who'd trade back?
Just little advice directed toward
the happy man who shall enter into
matrimonial partnership with the swee,
girl blacksmith graduate, advice long
established as good by actual expert.
