VThtn a certain South takota town, with
in the first twenty-four houra of Its ex
istence last August, reported a water
works compnny, a newspaper and a claim
for the county seat. It also offered ltsrlf
all unconsciously at Index to "a year which
haa been marked by nothing so much as
by Its "records." It has been a twelve
month of high prices and hi?h flying,
noted alike for the Polish Immigrants that
have come In and for the political "lights"

that 1S10 baa Temoved Itself distinctly from
the rut of usual happenings.
Pretty Pauline Chase, the well known
player of Harris rolea, did an unusual thing
last May. for Instance. She sailed from
England on the Fourth, reached New Tork
on the 10th, took a prominent part that
night In the Actors' Fund fair and started
home on the Mauretanla next morning.
Comparing the relative sixes and general
attractiveness of the two trim little craft,
this was really a more noteworthy feat
than the nonstop voyage which the French
submarine Archimede made In October,
steaming from Cherbourg to the mouth of
the Glronde and back (1.623 miles) In lesa

veracious narrative. There are 101 boys
studying with him and all the 101 disobeyed
rules two days in succession by holding
snowball battles In the fchool grounds. On
the third day Nemesis arrived. Hathaway
provided himself with twenty-two switches,
spent two hours and seventeen minutes
using them, and trounced one hundred dis
obedient youths. No. Ml escaped only be
cause the principal was a bit usrj up by
his efforts, which enabled the 17-year-old

Herman Brown, Esq., of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture, In one well-employed
day, offered himself to exactly
twenty-three fair co-eds at that Institution
of learning, and ovary last one of them re
fused him. It's a "record" all right; but
two comments suggest terBovest First,
why In tha world did the young- man choose
tho number twenty-three? Secondly, aa
there are 365 daya in a normal twelvemonth,
it will bo possible for him, at tho rata ho

Tho surprising claim of a Missouri woman
that she keeps house and a husband on
$000 a year Is supplemented and surpassed
by a Nebraska woman, residing at Pierce.
In a letter to Collier's Weekly she tells
how It ta dona, aa follows: , For two yeara

myself and two children havo been leas

the fact that two of tho three members
of tho family ara growing, active children
who need abundance of plain, nourishing
food, and who wear out and outgrow much

These are easily recognized by their pale

apread upon tho akin to remain until they

by the akin. Tha very fact that you are
told to leave theae paaty compounds on
the skin until they dry and cake and then
lift off with a knife la proof positive that
they are not absorbed. If they are why
do they still remain on tha akin? The most
they can poasibly do la to remove the sur
