Some fiend has spread abroad the report
that 100000 one dollar bills wear out every
day. Now We'll all be kept awake nights watch
ing ours for fear they may crumble like the one
horse shay and all we'll find in the morning will
be heap of dust And in most cases it won't
be such very large heap either.

No longer can the term "chicken-hearted" be
applied to that which is unduly weak and ten
der. A scientist has kept such an organ alive
for fifteen years, and it is still going fine and
putting weight. The chicken who owned it
passed on fifteen years ago, we take it, but the

small manufacturing concerns and jobbers to

A foreman in a railway yard risks his own
life to save that of baby two years old. This
happens in 1924. And four years later the
Carnegie Commission which was notified i'm
mediately of the act, finds him worthy of
medal and sends it along. 1t would be hard to
tell if the recipient of such medal should be
most proud or most Disguised at the delay of
the recognition.

spots. Anyway the Brown County Journal says:

1t said few weeks ago that Governor
Christansons announcement of his decision
would clarity the atmosphere. 1t hasnt-not
entirely at least. All the men who were so sure
they were going to get opportunity to run
for Governor are now just eagerly scouting
