TOO MUCH "BARE-SKIN."

The editor and his wife journey
ed to Cedar Rapids last night to hear
Geraldine Farrar tear off a few
strains of melody. Miss Farrar is a
grand opera singer who earns her
living by singing for people who are
willing to pay the price of a good
milch cow to listen to her, but as it
did not cost us anything we were
able to attend. We soon discovered
however, that it was no place for an
old, decrepit married man to be. We
enjoyed the music, but, being of
shy and shrinking nature, were
somewhat Mortified at Geraldine's
costume, or, more correctly speak
ing, lack of costume. We are not
able to describe her gown, which will
disappoint our women readers, but it
was built principally of low neck and
back muscles, the display being on
broad, generous lines, which proved
to the satisfaction. of all who were
not afraid to look, that Geraldine is
a born. athlete. 1t must have taken
several inches of high-priced cloth to
make that dress, which shows how
extravagant opera singers become.
Rather doubling our own opinion of
the creation, we consulted Cyrenus
Cole, the bachelor editor of the Ce-
dar Rapids Republican, after the
concert, and were assured by him
that it was in perfect good taste, and
that he secured better idea of Ger
aldine than he ever had before. In
all other respects the recital was an
artistic and financial success, the only
fly in the ointment being the fear on
the part of the audience that Geral-
dine would succumb to an attack OF
goose pimples, the thermometer be-
ing about twenty degrees below
zero. Manchester Press.

PULLED HOG UP ICY HILL.
Farmer Near Preston Tied Rope
Around Hog and Hitched it to
Horse. Hog Had Fast
Ride

E. r. Smith tells a story on him
self that probably stands alone in the
worlds events. Not unlike hundreds
of other pigs, his could not stay
where they wanted to on the ice and
slid down the hill west of his barn.
He succeeded in getting all back but
one, a big sow, and to Tighten his
burdens and assist the old girl up the
hill, he enlisted the services of one
of his big drafters. Tying one end
of rope around the pigs body back
of the front legs and hitching the
other end to the horse everything
went smoothly until about half way
up the hill when Mrs. Pig got fast in
some brush. Mr.. Smith, not having
a hitching post handy, was obliged
to rely upon the trustiness of his
steed to stand while he extricated his
load but, alas, the animal, left alone,
started full speed for the barn.
What followed can best be ina gined
naturally the pig followed, up the
hill, two laps around the barn, and,
but for the horse discovering an
open gate, would have followed, no
one knows how far; as it was the
horse ran into the barn while the
pig shot in-being in a hurry and
not noticing a six inch raise at the
door, she failed to step over, striking
tiff-legged instead and landing in
heap way up under the manager,
possibly a trifle out of breath but
otherwise apparently none the worse
for her experience.-Pre Times

ments, Show Big Beef Profits.

loads of calves were bought at Oma-
ha, fed up to June FL and returned
, to the market at a profit of $7.73
per calf. A bunch of fifty steers OF
the same lot, carried over to Decem-
Der made q profit of $2661 per
steer.
When bought the calves averaged
$50 pounds, and cost $500 per hun
dred weight.
During the first feeding period, up
to December goth, the calves were
fed daily ration of five pounds of
corn, thirty-seven hundredths pounds
of oil meal, four and five-tenths
pounds of silage and four pounds of
alfalfa. The average gain was 2.52
pounds a day at a cost of 1897 per
hundred weight.
During the second period the corn
was increased to nine pounds, oil
meal to seventy-two hundredths
pounds. silage to seven and five
tenths pounds and alfalfa remained

three miles west of Cedar Falls, is
confined TO his bed, the result of be-

no internal injuries were sustained
so far as could be learned The bull
young animal about years old,
attacked Lund without warning when
he went into the barn yard. Lund
fought the animal to a standstill with
a pitchfork, but was unable to get to
the house after the bull had been
vanquished and left Lund lying on
the ground. He was discovered by
members of the family soon after
ward and assisted to the house and
medical aid quickly summoned. The
ice covered ground added 10 the in
tensity of the battle between man
and bull. The bull had fairly lone
horns, and Lund's escape from being
gored was very fortunate.
