In driving through the country around
McCook several farms will attract atten
tion because they are entirely enclosed
with hog tight fence or have large fields
fenced hog tight If you read the mar
ket reports and dp a little figuring you
Will find that the price of
iU fk

el ra H

will buy from H P Waite Co hog
fence enough to go around a quarter
section of land Seven and a half more
hogs will make it a half section with a
partition fence through the center On
a farm that is fenced in this way nothing
is wasted the hogs get it all besides
they are less liable to disease than if
kept in small enclosures Another car
load of hog fence has just been received
by H P Waite Co and they will sell
it at right prices

Hlntorlc Old New York
Greenwich village la New York city
was first brought Into prominence
when Sir Peter Warren descended
from an ancient Irish family and vlco
admiral of the British fleet settled
there in 174 He married Susannah
De Lancey and settled on a line estate
of more than 300 acres running from
Christopher street to West Twenty
first It was laid out like an English
park with splendid hedges and ave
nues of trees and a fine old mansion
which was the resort of all the quality
of old New York His three daughters
all made brilliant marriages in Eng
land One became the Countess of
Abingdon and her name is preserved
in Abingdon square On the division
of the estate at Sir Peters death the
homestead fell to her She sold it to
Abijah Hammond who sold it to Abra
ham Van Nest and it Is still remem
bered by many as the old Van Nest
house demolished in 1SG3 Among
other distinguished persons who have
lived in Greenwich were Oliver De
Lancey William Bayard Washington
Vice President and Sirs John Adams
Aaron Burr and Tom Paine Barrow
street was originally named Reason
street In compliment to the great in
fidels best known book Age of Rea
son
Useful Teeth
Many different reasons are asrgned
by people for their unwillingness to
submit to the extraction of teeth
it was no fear of pain which w
permost in the mind of Mi
Lamson of Willowby when toLl b
p
e
the
dentist that she would be much bene
fited by the loss of two of her prom
inent teeth
You say they cant be filleJ she
paul in evident distress and you
couldnt get any others in for me for
moren n fortnight
The dentist admitted reluctantly that
it was bo
Well then I suppose Ill have to
get on as best I can And Miss Me
hitable seated herself in the toiture
chair But I dont see how I shall
make out Here I am chambermaid
to the Willowby inn during the slim
mer and its chock full of folks with
lots o transients coming and going
and those are my pillowcase teeth
WelsJit of the ISriIn
There is just five ounces less amount
of brain matter needed to keep a wom
an from idiocy than there is ncocl
for a man The average weight of a
mans brain is forty nine and oneIialf
ounces and that of a woman iorly ioir
ounces When a brain falls below thirty-seven
and a half ounces in a man
idiocy usually gecurs A womans
brain has to fall to thirty two and one-
half ounces before she reaches the
same condition Man has a lrger
brain in proportion to his stature than
woman while on the other hand wom
an has a larger brain in proportion to
her weight The female brain begins
to lose weight after the age of thirty
that of the man not till ten or fifteen
years later The loss In a woman is
slight however and she keeps up a
high brain weight much later than a
man
TIc Deadly Dull Brclielor
It is always easy to see how long
a couple have been married by noting
whether the house is full of his friends
or hers according to a writer in the
London Ladies Field A man invari
ably begins by inviting all his bach
elor friends to his house He is anx
ious to show off his wife and he fond
ly imagines that they will like her
and that she will like them which rare
ly happens The writer then goes on
to dissect the bachelor and concludes
I dont know why ones husbands
bachelor chums should as a rule be
so deadly dull but they usually are
and as a matter of fact it was prob
ably their dullness which originally
drove him into only he has
not the sense to see it There would
be fewer married if it werent for the
bachelors
As a litist Extreme
Once a number of legal lights in
Washington were gathered in the
smoking room of a lawyers club when
the talk turned to a discussion of the
veracity of lawyers The average
man remarked one disciple of Black
stone seems only too ready to as
sume we are all liars a very unjust
position it seems to me Do we not
sometimes tell the truth he asked of
his neighbor a well known criminal
lawyer
Certainly promptly responded the
latter We will do anything some
times to win a case
Same Thills
Mrs Scribbles I believe the butcher
Is knocking at the door -with his bill
Ferdinand Scribbles Tell him I am
sorry but Ive just paid the rent and
am short Mrs Scribbles But it may
be the landlord Ferdy Scribbles
Well then tell him Im sorry but Ive
just paid the butcher and am short
