Who Will Pay
For the Treats
A happy joke, practical or
otherwise, that hurts no one's
feelings, is heartily appreciated
by all concerned, as well as by
those hearing of it. Loup City
has a number of immortal jokers,
who never let an opportunity pass
to get one on their fellows. Last
Saturday evening. Skip Thrasher
purchased a new lawn mower of
Otto Petersen, on trial and approv
al and as he wanted to take in the
picture show left the same in front
of Otto’s till after the show. Some
of the boys aware of the purchase
and seeing the mower in front of
i the store, took it to Graefe’s drug
store and soaked it for plenty of
ice cream and soft drinks. When
Skip looked for the mower it was
gone, of course. Monday, on ap
plying to Otto for the plaything,
it was found, -but as Skip had
purchased it on trial and approval
and had not been given a chance
to Mi&souri it, Otto was perforce
obliged to take it out of soak, pay
the damages ami Skip went away
chuckling over the outcome. And
now the friends who wanted to
soak Skip and soaked Otto in
stead. are puzzling over the back
action affair. Now, will Otto add
the cost of the joke onto Skip
when he pays for the mower; will
Skip pay, if so: will Otto other
wise go after the jokers for the
rhino, or as a last resort charge
himself with loss of profit on the
salel
Court House
Bouds Defeated
Sherman county defeated the
court house bonds last Tuesday
by a majority of twelve votes. It
was planned to build a courthouse
similar to the fine fire proof coun
ty building now being erected at
St. Paul, but they turned it down.
Tlie.v had a mighty pretty build'
ing planned, one that would have
been an ornament and a credit to
the county, and one that would
have provided for the needs of
the county for all time to come.
It is to be hoped that they make
some kind of a provision befoie
they have an experience like that
of Hamilton county, when the old
ramshackle court house went up
in flames one nighs, about twenty
years ago, and the courts hav'ut
vet got through quieting titles
that were impaired by the cits*
traction of records in that file.
After the horse was stolen Hamil
ton county got busy and locked
the stable by voting bonds to the
amount of $100,000, during the
bard years, along about 1894 and
no one has regretted it since, as
far as we know.-Ravenna News.
Rapid Work of
Supervisors
As will be seen by the legal
notice in another column in this
paper calling for a special election
for a bond issue to erect a new
court house, the county board in
session Tuesday prompfly acted
upon a petition praying for a new
election and in so doing have
shown a business spirit most com
mendable. They finished their
regular duties yesterday afternoon
on routine business and adjourn
ed. The board kills no time in
rapid action work on all county
affairs coming under their control.
A Valuable Grad
uation Present
Miss Fay Gailaway is one of
the happiest girls in the city. Her
grandfather, W. T. Gibson, last
week presented her with a tine
cedar chest, upon which he has
expended his skill as a cabinet
(maker for the past three months
at odd moments, to give her as
his present upon her graduation.
It is a very beauty and represents
much work and artistic ability.
No wonder Miss Fay is proud and
I sappy over it.
Hazard Boy Hit
By B.&M. Train
■
While driving across the Bur
lington track in the cut one mile

The accident occurred Sunday
night, and it was a miracle that
Olaon escaped. He received many
bruises, but no fractures.

Essay on the'Buman Wain.
Under the microscope human hair
is a more or less complex and very va
riable tissue. In size, shape and ma
sonry (it is a sort of concrete struc
ture) aa well as color there is more
or less variation of detail. Architec
turally curly hair differs from the
straight variety; kinky hair has a
special construction of its own which
explains the kinks; there's a reascr
apparent under the revealing eye c
the microscope, for the black, re
silky, and all other varieties.
Tree* and Lightning.
The electrical resistance of trees if
quite great, a quality which protect;
them to a considerable degree fron
lightning stroke. This resistance var
ies greatly with the character of the
tissues and also with the temperature
This fact results in an annual and
daily period of resistance The cam
bi.im layer shows the least electrical
resistance, followed by the phloem
ard sapwood.
Entirely a Personal Matter.
Mark Twain ahd his peculiarities
▼ere being discussed by an English
class in a western high school. One
youthful orator had very eloquently
described Mark’s personal appear
ance and had laid unusual stress on
the author's fondness for wearing
white flannel. "Gee!" said one much
Interested youth. "I don’t see how the
public knows whether his flannels was
red or white.”—Everybody's Maga
zine.
Evidently Knew His Townsmen.
A somewhat personal reference was
that of an old Lanarkshire minister
who read out for his text the verse In
the psalms. "I said in my haste, ‘all
men are liars; ’ ” and then proceeded
to give his sermon in the form of an
apostrophe, thus: “Ay, David, ye said
it in your haste, did ye? If ye had
lived in this parish, ye might have said
It at your leisure.”
Various Thermometers in Use.

continent oee the centigrade thermom
eter invented by a Swede.
