DAKOTA CITY, - NEBRASKA
LUCKILY WAS NOT SQUEAMISH
American Visitor In London Got His
Shave and Added Good Story
' to His Collection.
The barbor'B parlor Is not nearly bo
common In London ns In American
cities. An American tourist was look
ing about for n placo to get shaved
and on ono of tho sldo streets found a
placo which bad somo of the window
ovidoncos of a barber shop. When ho
stepped insldo ho found a young man
leisurely reading tho morning paper.
Tho placo was small and thero was
only ono barber's chair.
"Can I get a shave?" said tho Amer
ican. "Yes, sir, I can shavo you," said thd
young man.
Tho American proceeded to get him
Bolt comfortable in tho chair when tho
young man Bald: "Would I be putting
you to too much troublo, sir, If I
Bsked. yon to Ho down on your bnck
on this couch, olr, instead of' sitting
up In tho chair? I am suro I can inako
a bettor Job of it, sir, and It will bo
qulto as comfortablo for you, sir."
The American was lazy enough to
comply without protest and tho shav
ing oxerclses procoeded very comfort
ably. When tho barbor had finished
and had received his slxpcnco tho
American Hald. "Would you mind toll
ing mo why you prefer tho couch to
the chair?"
"It's just this way, sir," Bald tho
young man. "I'm not tho regular har
bor hero, but tho proprietor, and wo
bavo qulto a trade In shaving corpses,
elr, and I am out nearly all tho tlmo
doing this work and I sort of got out
of the hang of nhavlng In n chair, sir;
and I beg your purdon, but I hope you
don't mind, sir."
"Tho American didn't mind. It was
worth it, for ho has already told tho
story a thousand times.
Absent-Minded Professor.
In a Washington club a mombor ot
tho sonata started to light a cigar, bu
became so engrossed in somo other
thought that ho forgot tho burning
match In his hand until tho flames
reached his fingers. Whereat Attorney
General Wickorsham smiled.
"A caso ot absent mlndedncBB," he
remarked, "that reminds mo of tho ex
perience of a certain professor. Ono
evening on returning homo to dtnner
tho professor was mot at tho door by
bis wlfo, who led him into the houso
with' a roprovlng glanco.
" 'Do you know, John,' said she, Just
b llttlo poutfully, 'that you went away
this morning without kissing mo good
by?' " 'You don't roally mean it?' return
ed tho professor. 'You must bo mis
taken,' " 'Oh, no, I'm not,' declared tho good
woman. 'Not a Hlnglo kiss did you glvo
too.'
'"la that so, responded tho profes
, sor, with & thoughtful expression,
-then who in tho douco did I kiss?' "
Rainfall In United States.
Most of tho rainfall of tho United
States comes from cyclonic worms
weeping across tho country toward
tho east, according to definite routes,
according to tho tlmo of year. But
in past times thero has been a shift
ing of tho groat climatic zones, de
scribed in tho current liullotln ot tho
Amorican Qeographlcal society by
Ellsworth Huntington. In tho caso ot
Mexico, Mr. Huntington finds an ex
planation for tho magnificent ruliiB
of an ancient civilization In tho donna
forests of Yucatan by referonco to tho
shifts in tho area, of those cyclonic
storms, which caused tho troptcal for
ests to overrun tho formerly drier and
habitable lands.

trived to own a speedy nog or two for

Thoy wero married nt Superior on
Feb. 8, 1910. Immediately after they
had settled down to keep houso at
West Duluth, she claims, Stevenson
began to find fault with her cooking
and at times refused to cat tho meals
which she had prepared for him.
Two or three months after their
wedding, she testified, ho started stay

only until midnight, then 1 o'clock,

Tho young wlfo nlso testified that

Everyone realizes tho advantago

so high that not everyone can afford

Ileal estato operators havo a habit
of dividing up thoir sections into 2G

convenient number to figuro with and
not becauso It makes a spaco well
Bulted for homo building purposes.
As a matter of fact, It Is a difficulty
matter ordlnnrlly to design a satis
factory framo houso to occupy a 25
foot lot. Somo spaco must bo left on
each sldo for light and air; also tho
fire hazard arialng from too close
building must bo considered.
Tho accompanying design solvo3
this problem especially well. Tho to

Hard Fighting by Fifteenth Corp
Drew Heavy Force From Enemy's

I havo seen a great deal In print
about how tho forces commanded by
i General Thomas broko tho rebel con
fer and drovo Bragg's army from Mis
sionary rldgo, but vory llttlo about the
hard fighting of tho Fifteenth corps
on the north end of tho rldgo, which,
drow a heavy force from tho enemy's
center, nnd mado It posslblo for tho
Union forces 'to break through and
drive the rebels from tho ridge.
Tho forces under General Thomas,
deserve great pralso for doing their
part so well. At 8 a. m., November
25, 1 saw our lino of battlo was formed
In tho odgo of somo timber west ot
tho north end of Missionary rldgo,
writer Josoph Wltham of tho Twelfth
Indiana, of Cherryvalo, Kan., In the
National Tribune. From thero wo
could aeo across tho cleared field In
our front tho enemy and his batteries
on the rldgo but llttlo moro than 10f
rods away, whllo tho timber hid us
from their view. At 10 a. m. wo
emerged from tho timber, climbed;
over a high fenco and landed In tho
open field In plain view of tho enomy.
Hero wo wero greeted with tho heav
lest storm of shells wo over experi
enced. In a few minutes wo wero in lino
and ready to move. Tho order was
given to charge, and we advanced
on tho run, forcing tho enemy up the
steep hillside. Wo halted 16 or 20
rods before wo reached tho foot of
tho rldgo, and thero wo remained in
tho opon field exposed to tho shot
and shell of tho enomy for five lone
hours. Tho brigade was composed oC
the Twonty-Blxth and Ninetieth Illi
nois and the One Hundretdth and
Twelfth Indiana. The last named reg
iment waa on the extreme right.
As we crossed the opon field tho
battle raged in all its fury, -in beau
tiful and unbroken line the command
pressed forward, with flags flying,
bullets whizzing and ahells shrieking
and bursting overhead and among us,
I aaw a plcturo of tho brigade In that1
battle when I was in Washington in
1865 at the timo of our Grand Re
view, and it was so true in every par
ticular that I think thero was a pho
tographer on tho field of battlo who
took tho plcturo thero.
At 11 a. m. we could see General
Corse's men lining up at tho foot of
tho extreme nofth end of Missionary
ridge. Soon they began to ascend
the ridge in lino of battlo, and when'
within about 30 stepB of the enemy's?
works they halted for nearly one(
'minute, whllo the rain of iron and
lead from the enemy was terrific. All
of a sudden the boys in bluo went
forward on tho run, right on to tho
enemy's works, as their loud cheers
rnng down tho valley. Wo could
clearly see our men clubbing the rebs
with the butts of their guns and hav
ing a general mix-up.
Away down on top of tho ridge to
our right a column of rebel Infantry
was coming from the center of
Bragg's lino as a reinforcement. Ad
first we could only see their head
bobbing up and down as they camo.
Soon thoy were near the end of tho
ridge, swinging Into lino of battlo.,
They fired a volloy at our mon on tha
rebel works, who, being outnumbered,
