BALES BUYS HANSON FARM.

A deal was consummated last Satur-
day. whereby Lonnie Bales, who is al
ready an extensive land owner in this
section, purchased the Herman Hanson
100 acre farm a few miles west of this
village. Mr.. Bales also purchased all
arm machinery, about forty hogs,
thirty cattle, five horses, oats, barley,
etc
This makes Mr.. Bales owner of about
$40 acres of as fine land as lays out
of doors anywhere, and although he
considers he paid we'll for his new pos
sessions, he is equally sure that he
didn't invest in a losing proposition.
The amount involved in this transaction
will break a $4,000 bill all to smith
Greens.
Mr.. Hanson has given immediate
possession, and as soon as he can set
tie up a few private affairs, will move
his most estimable family to Lewiston,
where they will reside for the present,
at least. he having decided to accept
a situation with a real estate firm.
Prosperity is our worst wish for all
parties concerned.-Ferdinand Enter

TO stretch over a period of at least

than a hundred pounds. to the horse

much like the superb creature we know
today, Ave feet high and weighing
1000 or 1900 pounds.
If this animal increased in height
only ~one-quarter of an inch in 10000
years he would be six feet high In less
than 100000 years. So, If we allow
him 100000 years to develop in, his
increase In height must have been even
less than one-fourth of an inch In
10000 years.
Think of it! Our horse of today might
be increasing or diminishing In size at
that rate and the fact never be noticed
during the whole period. In weight the
same-one-eighth of IA pound In a hun
dred years, and he would weigh 1900
pounds in less than 100000 years, a
rate of increase that our scales would
hardly detect In a century of time.
The transformations of the other ami.

HOW BLOTTERS ABSORB INK.
Being a Simple Explanation of capil.
larry Attraction.


Every student of physics knows that
water will run up a narrow tube by
capillary attraction. Anything i'm
mersed in water has a similar attrac-
ton for the water-that is, the object
becomes wet by the water that clings
to 1t. The amount Is limited by the
weight of the liquid itself. Place your
hand in water n your hand when
withdrawn is wet. The limited attrac-
ton between the hand and the water
is gagged by the weight of the water
that cp IS to the hand.
Imagine several hands placed close
together In water, but not touching one
another. If this composite hand were
formed of ten single hands 1t would at
tract ten times as much water as the
one hand would attract and hold on its
surface. So a wisp of hay, composed
of a hundred spears of dried grass,
placed in water will remove a hundred
times as much of the fluid as would
cling to one spear. Bushes In a marsh
will remove a certain amount Of water,
which will by capillary attraction cling
to their submerged parts.

ting paper when absorbing ink resem-
bles on a small scale a marsh matted
with shrubs and sticks and twigs
around which water is flowing, as ink
runs about and among the fbers that
together form the spongy paper. There
is a limit to the amount of liquid
which a blotter win absorb, as there is
a limit to the amount Of water that a
marsh will absorb without overlooking.
That limit in the blotter is the com
bined capillary attraction of the fbrous
shrubs and sticks and twigs that to

Don't Whip a Child In Amer.

1t is absurd to whip a child who is
overcome by anger. The best thing to
do is to let him alone and let his pas
sion wear itself out. If he could be
taken before the anger gets the upper
hand of him he might be controlled.
What the parent should do is to
study the things which will arouse the
child's anger and then avoid these
things. 1t is the height Of folly for a
parent to excite anger in a child and
then try to control 1t by punishment.
1t is worse than folly; 1t is brutal and
Is likely to ruin the child.-Mother's
