He was into town on a load oi' hay Mr. Doeden when he suddenly over. At first he thought Mr. had hit him, but hearing a M. HICKMAN, .'/l.yi Ji': Gl)S SWANBERG. Sec. & Treas. Minnesota. Drujflst. shot and examining his hat found a hole through it and a sore spot on top of his head. No one was seen by them but it was afterward learn ed that a party was seen along the lake with a gun. This should be a warning to those who hunt to be very careful where they shoot It is reported that some are in the habit of going to the pond east of town and shooting. This is very dangerous and should not be allow ed. CONTRIBUTED A great chivalry in a theshing crew Friday evening, Sept 26, of about 100 of Worthington's toughest bums came out to tne Olson place to make a racket Perhaps their intentions were to do homage to the newly married, but as they were not at home and a threshing crew staid there it came to be a chivairi on the threshers. Cow bells were rung and tin pans pounded. The threshing whistle was tied down for about an hour and a half making beautiful music to be heard for miles round, but better still an accordiao gave forth its melodious sound long to be remembered. The noise did not hurt any one but shots were fired and window lights and curtains destroyed. When the threshers in the house who geatly enjoyed the music came out the poor fellows were so tired they could hardly stand. The dog almost lost his brav ery to protect his master's prop erty and could hardly be found the next morning. Besides this could there was another crowd who did nothing out of the way and they must not be mistaken for this. THE COBBLER'S CORNER. I never hed this shop as fall 'twas yesterday," said Cobbler Cy, "but 'twasnt customers—my, no I 'twas a mad dog scare. A poor little yellow mongrel, looking as if it hed'nt been fed of a week, hed some kind of a fit right out in the street, mong the market wagon. Well yu'd ought to see the people run! They come ozowdin'in here till the door wouldent hardly shut, 'nd the women screamed 'nd the ohidren's eyes wuz as big as sau cers. The dog he wuz feeling bet ter, the policemen come long 'nd shot him, puttin' enough lead in him to kill an elephant. 'Twas in the paper last night, 'nd they say the council is goin' to inforoe the ordinance about let tin' no dogs go round the streets unmuzzled. That ordinance is rignt, too. Never heered of a real case of hy drophobia happenin' of real among folks now. But I know there is such a thing, 'nd no mistake, 'nd it is better to keep every dog in a npuz zle all the year round than to hev one child bitten by a mad dog. "But what seems to me is how folks get all worked up to prevent a thing that doesnt' happen once in a hundred times, as while they let other thiugs fifty times as certain go right along without oncet tryin' to stop 'em. Why the very minit that yeller dog was h6vin' his fit, Ben Davis was drivi'n his brewery wagon down the street, piled high with full barrels. There was more destruction in that load than ever a mad dog could make, even if he bit right lnd left. Mad dogs don't break up homes nor bring dis grace to families. They aren't equal to drink. Yet nobody noticed that brewery wagon. Council 'aint go ing to pass an ordinance muzzling the brewery—no indeed. 'Nd if you'd ask them to,you'd be iaughed at for a temperance crank. That's the queer part of it—tolks don't seem to know a real danger when they see it. Why as I said, Ive never knowed a real case of hydrophobia among my acquaintance, 'nd I've been a livin'here nigh on to-half a century But if you'd ask me how many cases of destrucrtion by drink I'd known of, I'd hev to tell of twenty, or fifty, or hundred, either. Jest that one saloon on the next block it's not been there a year, 'nd 1 could tell you a dozen young fellows that I've see go reelin' by here from its doors, with the poison of drink doin' its deadly work on their souls 'nd bodies. Cobbler Cy's words are only too true We see the awful effects of the drink habit brought to our minds so often and so forcibly. You fathers and mothers who have your boyB with you tonight are doubly tender and patient Even planning a little extra trouble for their pleas ure and comfort. But while thank ful your home circle is complete think of that other home circle so recently and so terribly broken. Oh Christian People arise to action, let us use our weapons against the worst evil that threatens the hu man family. Is there anything we can do in the future that we have left undone in the past to help over throw this great evil If there is let us do with our might what our hands can do. May nothing tempt us to compromise with the enemy. For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul We all desire improv ments in our town, cement walks, paved streets,etc., but in the name of all that's good and right let us not pave our streets with blood bought souls. Mrs. C. W. Davis. No Hair? "My hair was falling out very fast and 1 was greatly alarmed. I then tried Ayer's Hair Vigor and my hair stopped failing at once."— Mrs. G. A. McVay, Alexandria, O.
