A widow in town lost a hog last
week, says an exchange. We do not
refer to the death of ber husband. She
lost a real hog and advertised for it.
The widow says the hog must have
read the paper, for he came biking
home on the dead run as soon as it had
left the office. This is not the first in-
stance where a bog read a newspaper
— and incidentally forgot to pay for it

OF
AUSTRALIA
They Are Unlike Thees Ko Be Seen In
Any Other Country.
One readily understand« why the
Australian loves his trees. The groves
of giant eucalyptus form pictures nev
er forgotten, and the scent of the wat
tle brings a homesick feeling like the
smell of sage to the westerner.
The flora is not only beautiful, it is
unique, and has no counterpart in oth
er lands.
Of the 10,000 species of
plants most of them are purely Austra
lian and are unknown even in New
Zealand. The general impression one
gets of Australian forests is their total
unlikeness to anything seen elsewhere.
The great forests of timber trees are
not damp and shaded and all of one
species, but are well lighted and filled
with other foresta of shorter trees. In
places the woods consist of large wide
ly spaced trees surrounded only by
bunch grass, and even In areas where
water Is not to be found on the sur
face for hundreds of square miles true
forests of low trees are present
Forms which may be recognised as
tulip. Illy, honeysuckle and fern take
on a surprising aspect They are not
garden flowers, but trees, and the land
scape of which they form a part re
minds one of the hypothetical repre
sentations In books of science of a
landscape of mesoxolc times, a period
antedating now by millions of years.
The trees are indeed those of a by-
gone age.
In America and Europe
shadowy forms of fossil leaves of
strange plants are gathered from the
rock and studied with interest; In Aus
tralia mauy of theae ancient trees are
living.
The Impression that one la
looking at a landscape which has for- 1
ever disappeared from other parts of :
the world Is so vivid that the elms and
maples and oaks in some of the city
streets strike a jarring note. The tran
sition from Jurassic to modern times Is
painfully abrupt—National Geographic
LET’S CLEAN UP
Now that the local Civic Club
has declared all next week as
cleaning-up day, let every one
get busy and help make our little
city appear as nice as possible, at
least during the Dairy and Hog
show, woen many outsiders will
come here to view the fair.
Let’s get the rock off Main
street, pull the weeds from along
the sidewalks, knock a nail on
the head here and there and slap
a piece of board in a proken side
walk wherever needed. We dare
say the ladies will see to it that

That party of Artic explorers
who have just returned to civili
zation after four years in the far
north will be kept mighty busy
if they undertake to catch up
with the march of events during
their absence.
Eight hundred telephone girls
in Seattle who recently organized
a union have voted to strike on
October 19 unless their demand
for higher wages and improved
working conditions are granted.
Wonder if the 0003 girls in the
local talephone office are getting
any auch notion in their heads?
Here’s a chance for Henry
Notz and others to find out who
sunk the Maine, for Captain Rich-
ard Pearson Hobson, the hero
of the Merrimac and former con-
gressman, was close by when-it
happened, and may tell them
whether the disaster was caused
by internal combustion or by the
Spaniards when he delivers an

Limburger cheese laid away in cup
boards and refrigerators will drive
away ants, says a recipe. No doubt of
it. It will drive a hog out of a tan
yard; it will drive a spike in a brick;
it will drive a tramp away from a meal
of victuals; it will drive a mule through
a barbed wire fence; It will drive a
herd of cattle over a precipice; it will
drive a negro away from a chicken
roost or a man to insanity who stays
five minutes within ten feet of its un
savory presence. And yet some men
will sit up and eat the stuff and pro
fess to like it.
