The Rainmaker

There was no hooeful sign of rain ;
all parched and blistered was the
plain, burned up the nutmegs and
the oats, and singed the whiskers OF
the goats. So fierce drought had
not shown up, mea said, since
Hector was a pup. Then came
Professor Bunkum Balm, who had a
scheme for making rain. For seven
thousand bones" said he, III make
this country like sea, with water
sloshing all around. refreshing all
this burned up ground When trst
we heard his words we laughed, and
said his was a foolish graft; we
would not fall for such fake; no
man had power a rain to make.
And still the, skies were hard and
blue; by night there wasn't even
dew; the cattle sought the river 5
brink and couldn't tnd a drop to
drink. Then we agreed with Wizard
Balm to pay the price he asked for
rain. So he put up tall tin pipe,
and burned some chemicals or
tripe, and made some passes with his
hand, and rain came down and
soaked the land The water poured,
day after day, and washed our shed
and coops away, and slung our
houses out of lire, and drowned a
thousand head of swine. And SO
we roasted Wizard Balm, and said
such people should be slain. No
man should let the water drop
unless he knows just when to stop
no man should turn a torrent loose
unless he can shut off the juice. And
so the learned Professor Balm can t
get his pay for making rain.

FIR 100000 Of Mail
BarabOo Has A
Hoodoo Corner

Two accidents on the same cor
ner within "a hours is the record
made for the intersection Of Oak
and First streets. Tuesday after
noon, a truck backed down the hill
and into a street lighting post on
this corner, and today about ten
o'clock a Ford coupe belonging to

cident at the same spot, striking a
culvert instead of the post
Mr.. Schneider was driving north
having come from the direction of
the bridge, and an Illinois tourist
car, also a Ford coupe, was des-
cending the First avenue hill, go
ing east and it's driver intending
to turn up Oak street also. The
two drivers evidently failed to see
each other until both attempted to
occupy the same space on Oak
street. Mr., Schneider who seems
to have had the right of way
swung out to the right to avoid
striking the Illinois machine ana
his car went into the culvert, break
ing the spring and damaging the
front wheels. The total damage to
his auto was estimated at SIC and
the two drivers came to an amiable
fifty-fifty settlement with the aid
of Chief of Police Otto Harmed,
who was on the scene Immediately
after the accident occurred.
Three or four accidents have TAX
en- place on this corner in the past
year and little child was killed
at the crossing a year or so ago.
