Towns That Grow.
In every county and in every
State can be found towns that
are continually forging ahead,
while others remain practically
at a stand still and accomplish
nothing in the way of advance-'
ment. In every case the fault |
can be found to rest, not with
the town, but with the people
themselves. An exchange has
been thinking pretty seriously
along this line and it presents
its conclusions in this way:
"The reason why some towns
grow is because they have
men in them with push and
energy who are not afraid to
spend their time, energy and '
money in anything that will j
boom and benefit the town. They j
have confidence enough in their
town to erect substantial and
modern buildings and residences ;
and work for public improve- j
ments in the same order.
"They organize companies and
1. _ U I \ C , 1
escauusn lactones, mauce- industrial
enterprise to locate and
use every means to further the
best interests of the town. Their (
work is never considered finished
and the accomplishment of one
thing is only an incentive of
another.
"On the other hand, the town
that does not get ahead will be |
found to be dominated by either
a sot of men who are perfectly
satisfied with their surrounuiiigs
or who are afraid
somebody else will be benefited
in the event s< mething is started;
consequently no elloit of any'
kind is made by this class for
those two reasons.
"If some men or sot of men
endeavoi to start something tin y
are met by opposition and oi.courhgement
and it is uphtd
work all the v. ay and very often
failure.
"Every town, however, has
a certain, progressive element
which hopes lor a turn of the'
tide when the town will go forward
by leaps and bounds and
occupy a position of importance
and obtain numerous advantages
which go to make a good town
in every sense.
"But this stage cannot he ac
complished by mere wishes or
suppositions. It can only come
from harmony in purpose and
action and the eternal violence
of its citizt-ns.
"The town with these things
will continue to grow and improve,
but the town without
them can be expected to remain
in a state of lethargy indefinitely
without affording its residents
anything but a mere existence.
"It is all true."
An Aching Tooth.
We heard one of our subscribers
utter an oath the other
day, who never before broke any
of the commandments that we
know of. When he explained
to us that the cause was an
aching tooth we felt that he
would have but little trouble in
receiving forgiveness, for the
tooth that means to come out
has conquered all men and all
women. It has been soothed
and coaxed. It has been held
near fires until the cheek abutting
it was nearly roasted. It
has been chloroformed. It has
been fed on essence of juniper
and essence of peppermint, and
esse? co 01 cloves. It has heen
filled. I's nerve has been killed.
Its mist rab'e possessor has been
immured from fresh uir like a
prisoner.
Tnu? uooA.)i iiiu.cuiiwa sleeps.
/
but it never forgets. It is most
treacherous when it seems tranquil.
It ulcerates at the roots
when its possessor is about to
indite a poem, take a Journey or
get married. It longs for a release
and hungers for the forceps.
It may seem to compromise,
but it merely bides its
time. Its favorite recreation
hour is just after midnight when
druggist and dentist have retired.
Tf nil tho orrnnnH ia pnuarod ??i th I
snow and the winds piercing, it
is fairly diabolical with activity.
There is no use in AOQtesting
issues with this mutinous and
molesting molar. Fight rheumatism
if you will but throw up
the sponge at this altercation.
You have blistered your mouth
and ruined your digestive organs
and quarreled with your family
and friends long enough.
Tell the dentist to pull your
head off and the accursed grinder
with it, and live on soup, if need
be, but have peace once more.
Jerk the abomination out and it
will be content, the everlasting
plague on it.
The Cold Wave of 1836.
One of the most remarkable
stories of sudden cold weather is
to be found in a famous biography
of Abraham Lincoln. The year
1836 was long known as "the
year of the sudden change." At
noon on December 20 of thati
year, after a warm, rainy morning,
the temperature suddenly'
fell 40 degrees. A man riding
into Springfield for a marriage
license found the raindrops dripping
from the bridle and his
beard changed "in a second"
into jingling icicles. Geese and
chickens were caught by their,
feet and wings and frozen to the1
wet ground. A drove of one'
rnousana nogs being driven to
St. Louis rushed together for|
warmth and formed a huge1
pUe. Those inside smothered, I
while those outside froze, and
the ghastly pyramid remained on ;
the prairies for months.
