ism is so delicate that it goes off at the

stock near Broken Bow and is one of
the best known short horn breeders in
the state. He breeds only the very best.
When in need of a sire to head your
herd, it would be well to see or write
Dr. Brenizer, whose stock is acclimated
in this western country. The best evi
dence that his stock is the best is the
fact that it took but two days to dis
pose of a car load of his own breeding.
George Barrett, an electrician, is em

Nothing strange about that, but he is
remarkable in that he is able to whistle
in two keys at the same time. Recent
ly while engaged at work alone, two
persons were heard whistling a tune iu
unison but in a different key. After
investigation it was found that he did
it alone and all unconscious of any
peculiarity. He says he never heard
any one whistle that way, but just dis
coveded that he could. His rendition
of any popular tune is clear, strong
and well defined in both keys. He
is a wonder.
