No reasonable person could
complain at the weather we had
the fore part of the week. Tues
day was a sunshiny day and Wed
nesday morning there was only a
touch of frost on the sidewalks.
Contrasted with the east where
they have zero weather it looks
good to most people.
Carl Gardner left Monday for
Portland, where he will take a
course 5n music. He was accom
panied by his mother who may
remain and keep house for him
during the term. When he re
turns we may expect the woods
to be filled with musical echoes.
Anyway it happens Carl's many
friends wish him abundant success.
Elsewhere we publish a letter
received from the poultry depart
ment of the Agricultural college.
Those interested in poultry would
do well to write for the list of
questions if they have not already
received it and those having re
ceived the same ought to answer
the question as fully as possihle
as it will aid in developing the
poultry industry.
Chamberlain, the butcher, be
lieves in advertising and he does
it in many ways. He uses print
ers ink and bacon, both good,

it alongside of the store kind.
We can vouch for it being good
having sampled it

visit relatives and friends for a
time. She paid the Herald office
a friendly call while in town.
Mr. Lewis has purchased an in
terest in the butcher business at
Falls City and Black Rock, which
gives him three shops to look
after. He will soon be as bad a
monopolist as John D., if this
kind of work keeps up, but we
wish him all kinds of success
just the same.
What may be termed an al
most miraculous escape from
fatalities occured Christmas eve
at the home of Mrs. F. Hyde. A
party of young people had
gathered for a social evening and
to have a Christmas tree. The
tree was ornamented with wax
candles, which were burning.
Glen Work was playing Santa
Claus and had only come in and
going up to the tree he came in
contact with one of the little
candles when his makeup caught
fire and he was badly burned
about the face and hands before
it could be extinguished. His
coat and wig were covered with
loose cotton batting and was very
infiamable. While trying to put
out the fire Mrs. Hyde burned
her hands and arms very badly
and the wonder is that her cloth
ing did not take fire, in which
case nothing could have saved
her life. As it is both patients
are resting as easily as could be
expected under the circumstances.
