The many friends of Jacob Held, sr..
who was hurt in a runaway last week,
are rejoicing over the fact that he is con
stantly improving and out of danger.
The most destructive hail storm of the
4
season visited Colfax county last Satur
day evening and mowed down the grain
before it on a strip of land about five
miles wide through the center of the
county from west to east. Winter wheat
and oats that never looked better were
literally pounded into the ground while
only the stub ends of the corn remain to
be seen. We are unable to estimate the
loss, but it is .needless to say that it will
be great.

Rigid Rules Against' Brinrii.j
Into Big Apartment Hotels.
If you live by the year in one -f
these fashionable apartment hotels
that run a restaurant In connection
with the rooms, you cannot take food
into your quarters on peril of your
life, says the New York Telegraph.
There is a big uptown hotel, of tho
best class, whose leases provide that
room leasers must eat in the restau
rant. Many of them disregard this
clause in their leases, and some of
them openly took food into their apart
ments. This has been stopped by the
manager, who has ordered that all
baskets of provisions brought to tlie
hostelry shall be turned back.
A lawyer told me that the hotel man
was courting trouble that a tenant in
a hotel had a right to take anything
in his room he pleased, so that he com
plied with the provision in his lease
that he shall do no cooking in his
apartment. Just the other day a man
was caught bringing a bottle of milk
into the front door and was requested
to leave the place.
That reminds me of another uptown
hotel which was filled with families
and which had a rigid rule that no one
should' cook In an apartment. It be
came known, however, that the patrons
of the place were cooking right along,
and there was much sleuthing on the
part of the management and employes
to find out who the guilty ones
were. The guiltiest man of the lot
looked the most innocent, and in
order to cover up his nefarious
work he lodged a complaint wit&
the 'manager, in vigorous language,
that some one was cooking around
the house, and that he was much
disturbed by the smell of food.
This was in the afternoon, and that
very night there was'an odor of cook
ing all through the fifth floor. The
manager got a porter and clerk, and
a pass key. They traced the odor
right down to one door and softly un
locked it and rushed in. There stood
the man who had complained with a
long fork in his hand and a gloating
look in his eyes as he watched four
large pork sausages sizzle and fry in
a pan over an oil-stove fire.
Explained to the Rector.
St Thomas' Episcopal church in
Fifth avenue has under its'jurlsdiction
an East side chapel, says the New
York Sun. One of the features of
the chapel Is a gymnasium, in which
boys are trained in all the branches
of physical culture. Some of the boys
are quicker in this sort of training
than they are in the more polite talk
of the West side boys. ,
The rector of St. Thomas', Rev. Dr.
Stlres, visits the chapel frequently,
and is fond of talking with the lads
about their work. He said to one lit
tle fellow who hails from near the
East river:
"Well, my son, they tell me you
won quite a victory in your last con
test with the boys of a rival school."
"I don't know 'bout that, but w'en we
went up ag'in dat bunch from St. Pat's
we put it all over 'em, and dey ain't
never peeped since."
The rector patted him on the head
and said: "My boy, you're all right."
"Dat's what I'm here for," was the
fulck reply.

Alfalfa Palace is Pleased.
While "corn is kisg" alfalfa is un
doubtedly "que" is ths western states
and to bis queen.' Kisf Corn is to build
s palace in Omaha which will be one of
the special features of. lbs National Corn
Exposition to be held there Deo9 to 19.
The "Alfalfa Pilaoe"' is being planned
by the directors, of) tee, corn: show" be
cause of the increasing intsrett in' the
cropland its growing im pot tsnos as a
food for osttle. The palaoe is to be built
of bales of alfalfa and lined with ex
hibits of alfalfa and other grasses. Val
uable premiums are to be. offered for the
best typas of thsalfslfa' plant, and many
growers will secure -hsyTpresses and
modern machines far baling theaifalfa.
Much atteation-i to bs given alfalfa
at ths National Con Exposition as it is
now 'recognized that 'it -is. a necessary
food i for stock.- Ths' best authorities
have. demonstrated that cattle cannot
use to advantage all the carbo-hydrates
and oil in corn withoula protein ration.
It is a waste to feed straight' corn to
stook'.in preparing them for market, and
the big packing houses are now paying
better prices for the stock fattened on a
mixture of corn and alfalfa.
Then the mixture is cheaper. Few
feeders are still of the opinion that tbey
can afford to feed straight corn worth
60 to .65 cents per bushel to cattle for
which they receive from $6 50 to $8 at the
outside. For this reason those interest
ed intsgrioulturesre to secure exhibits
and. give demonstrations of interest to
every -grower or feeder of alfalfa, when
the big palace is opened at Omaha in
December.

Germany to Havs Nsw Coin.
Germany will soon have a new coin
of the value of a quarter mark or
six cents. In order to .distinguish the
new piece readily from, the 20-pfennig
coin now in use, the government -has
asked for designs with a perforation.
The Welt Spiegel' published the pic
tures of perforated coins which were
recently made in England for circula
tion in an East African English colony,
and a humorist in a Hamburg paper
says: "Give us the coins with holes
jn them by all means. We can string
them like beads and tie them up and
hold them, a process which- seems to
be' beyond accomplishment with the
modern slippery coins and bills."
Exemplified.
"The best Intentions are sometimes

"Why not?" asked the ambitious

"Oh. yes; but the story is one

Not Altogether.
