QUESTION AND ANSWER

B. D., Highland.-I would like to
ask if this expression is correct: "He
had ought TO go home? Answer;
No, because had" is used with the
past participle Of the principal verb
to form the compound tense. Ought"
is a defective verb and has no par
ticipIe, therefore ought" cannot be
used with had"
H. N, Blue River.-Should a man
marry girl when he feels he could
Jump in the river and drown himself
for her? Answer: Yes, we believe he
should.
L. D., Muscoda.-I know that Be-
hemian is a person originally from
Bohemia, but what is the origin Of
the name? Answer: A Bohemian in
its accepted sense is person of I'M
conventional habits, who makes the
best of everything and takes life as
it comes He is philosopher, and in
spite of his unconventionality he is
at least as apt to be respectable as a
leader in the conventional society.
J. B., Boscobel-If a girl marries
and moves into home, taking her
furniture into the home and also
buys more with her own money, and
then dies, leaving no children and no
will. who are heirs to the furniture?
Her husband, father or her sister?
These three survive. Answer: One
half of her property will go to her
husband and one-haIf to her father.
P. c., Muscoda.-Is cyclone, tor
nado and hurricane all the same?
Answer: No. A cyclone makes a
cycle covering a surface varying from
one-half to five miles as it travels.
The tornado is "twister" of only a
few feet in diameter, and in appear
ance resembles a huge funnel. The
hurricane is a straight sweep of wind
that blows at the rate of about one
hundred miles an hOur.-Muscoda

The Best Way is
$40 Shoot on Sight"

1t is rather a sad commentary upon
the judgment Of people to admit that
it is always necessary to warn them
against investing money in stock OF
companies concerning which they
have no information Every summer
season a lot of the smoothest agents
in the whole land flock to the country,
there to pry the welI-to-do farmer
loose from his money by inducing
him to finance proposed business
ventures, which are far too often
nothing but schemes born wholly and
solely for the purpose of obtaining
his money. The government has but
recently given out information con-
corning the millions upon millions of
dollars out OF which the public was
recently fleeced by the selling Of
worthless oil stock. One of the safest
guesses in the world is that any
scheme offering a profit exceeding 10
or 1910, is a fake, for there is plenty
of money in the hands Of inanciers
to grab up and handle the legitimate
business enterprises Offering excess
s;ye profits.-Richland Rustic.

An Aspect of Real Religion.

"A young man said the other day
Of his father, Dad is quite a church
goer. He attends morning service.
After dinner he plays golf At night
ne dresses up again and goes to
church" And the young man seemed
10 think that his father was pretty
good sort of a person, though there
are doubtless MAJ piOus people who
will say that he is not a good Chris
tian.
There is a notion among many
folks that religion has no relation
ship TO the normal human life. In
order to be religious according to this
standard it is necessary to eliminate
All kinds Of ordinary fun and enjoy
ment. This belief finds expression in
LEGISLATION or attempted legislation.
Religion ought to be just one eX-
preston of a normal life. A man
cannot be religious in spots or at
snaGiied times. Humanity seems to
have a tendency toward fun. The
most uncomfortable person in the
world is the puritanical individual
who is panied and grieved that otner
people find it pleasant to laugh. Some
of the evangelists to the contrary
Notwithstanding it is hardly probable
that the God who put song into the
throat of a bird, and a smile upon the
petals of the flowers, and laugh into
fhe pillows of the ocean, will send
ANYBODY to hell simply because ne
loves activity and fun. Selected.
