Contestant No. 32 continues in the dead in the piano contest of the Her- ald-Review and Allen Dry Goods company. While her vote this week does not show the phenominal gain that was reported for the week pre- vious, her increase was 650,000, mak- | ing a total of 6,013,525. This places her 1,194,870 votes ahead of her near-| est competitor, No. 17, who has 4,-| 918,655 to her credit. The last men-| tioned lady has climbed from fourth | to second place during the week. Contestant No. 40 still retains her, positic third on the list, having 4,918,655, a gain for the week of near-} ly a million. Another contestant who} has gained a similar amount during the period elapsing since the last re- port is No. 137, who now has a to-]} by those who have tah advantage in line. Number 46 is fifth with 4,- 291,375 to her credit, having gained practically a half million votes since the list was last published. The publication of the standings, next week will show some substan- tial increases among those who have paid particular attention to securing subscribers for the Herald-Review. These were brought in too late to get into the table of standings at this time but will show what can be done by those who have taken advantage of this means of securing votes. Fol- lowing is the vote for the candidates at this time: 1,100,000 3.981,000 3,916,500 Be sahsinn GES Feeley Township Mrs. Charlie Butterfield returned home last Saturday from a visit to her parents at Halstead, Minn.

Mr. Wesley Pogue is now working for M. W. Pogue making ties. He says 49 degrees below zero is too cold for a traveling moving picture show. Mr. Clarence Tichenor was badly injured last week while riding a pair of skiis down the hill in front of his house. The skiis got off the track and crashed their rider into a barbed wire fence. He is already fast recovering, however, and in a few days we hope he will be around again The Feeley Agricultural club meets at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Hamm, February 21. It is reported that land in the Northeast of Feeley township has been sold to fifteen different fam- ilies, now living in Illinois and North Iowa. They will move in in the spring. That will sure help some. Mr. Clarence Rosholt willl make fi- nal proof on his homestead Feb. 28. Clarence says there he’s going to hit the farming hard.

It pays to be a lady or a gentleman, even when you think you are among stran- gers.—Kate Upson Clark in Leslie's. Clinching the Argument. At a club meeting held in a public house in a small village a discussion took place as to whether a hard or soft «e would last the longer. The debate continued for some time, until one man spoke up and said: “Now, men, you are all mistaken, as I can easily prove. When me and my wife married she had as good a set of teeth as any woman could have; now she hasn‘t got one, and her tongue is as goud as ever.’’—London Tit-Bits.

Men and Jobs. a Apropos of an inefficient manager’s resignation, George Gould said to a} New York railroad reporter: “It’s every man’s desire to wabble round in a big job rather than to fill a small one, and that’s why so many resignations are by request.” Oh my, oh my, says the man who came in contact with an old time skunk.

To hold down successfully the job! of governor of a state or vice pres- dent of the United States one does not | have to be up on oriental languages. So the Honorable Thomas R. Marsha never hesitates to tell this on himself; It was at a reception in Indianapolis which took place when the Bulgarian army was driving the Turks out of, Thrace. The battle of Kirk Kelisseb had just been fought. “Odd name that—Kirk Kelisseh,” said the then governor of Indiana. “It means ‘Forty Churches,’ or, rather. mosques. Now, isn’t it queer that the word ‘kirk,’ which, as we all know, stands for ‘church’ in the Scotch ver- nacular, and which appears in German and other languages of northern Eu- rope, sheuld have precisely the same meaning in Turkish! It makes us wonder whether all tongues may not have bad a common souree, and if that is so it would probably be found that that source was in the east.” There was murmured applause from every one except an unobtrusive little professor, who had been hovering near the group. “Pardon me, governor,” he piped up, “but your conclusions, while interest- ing, might be called—er, a little mis- leading. It is perfectly true that Kirk Kelisseh is the Turkish for ‘Forty Churches,’ but it is the word ‘kelis- seh’ that means a place of worship, while ‘kirk’ means ‘forty.’” And the professor was right—New York Sun. A South Pole Hero. Captain Roald Amundsen, the Nor- wegian who put the south pole on the map, was born in Sarpsburg, Norway, July 16, 1872. His youth was spent in Christiania and on board sealers and whalers commanded by his father. Captain Jens Amundsen. He was twenty-five when he entered on his first south polar trip as the first officer of the Belgica expedition. This jour- ney lasted two years and filled the young sailor with aspirations for fur- ther explorations in the frozen regions. His parents wanted him to become a physician, and he spent a year in @ medical college. Later he went to Germany to study sciences that would aid him as an explorer. His first nota- ble feat was to take a ship through the northwest passage, and on this trip be twice wintered in the ice—New York World. Not Catching. Jane’s sister was coming home from norma! school. “Why is she coming home?” asked the neighbor. “is she sick?” “Yes, she is very, very sick,” said Jane. “What ails her?” asked the neighbor. “Well, I don’t know exactly. Mamma had a letter from. the principal, and he said it was lack of mental! ability. 1 don’t know whether it is catching or not.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Mystified. Little Elizabeth was telling her first dream to her grandma and her auntie.

Force of Those Raised by: Earthquakes or Violent Storms. The term tidal wave is erroneously applied to almost any unexpected wave | that inundates the seacoast or the shore of a great lake. These waves are rarely if ever due to: the tides since the rea! tidal wave is a phenome- non admitting of exact calculation and prediction, but they may be traced: usu- ally to some distant earthquake or vio- Jent storm. When an earthquake occurs beneath sea bed generate a great wave, which is.propagated outward from the center of the shock and reaches the land after the arrival of the earth wave. In. the open sea this wave is so broad. that it cannot be perceived, but when it reach- es-shaHow water near the shore it tushes forward as-an immense break- er, sometimes sixty feet or more high and’ overwhelming everything in its: course. The sandy beach deposits and: loose bowiders are swept:away, while inland. the-surface is strewn with debris. The velocity of these great. sea. waves is. greater than the ordinary waves. raised: by the wind. A-submarine earthquake near: the coast of. Japan in 1854 gave rise to sea waves which traversed the whole breadth of the Pacific at a rate of about 370 miles.an hour. At Smoda, Japan, the waves were thirty feet high, while at. San Diego, Cal., they measured only six inches. Such an earthquake wave near the coast of Peru once lifted a gunboat of. the: Unit- ed States navy and landed. it a: mile inland.—Kansas City Star. STAGE GHOSTS. Kean’s Contrivance to Make. the. Shade of Banquo Realistic. I think it was Charles Kean who first resorted to illusion to make @ stage ghost a little transparent, says a writer in London Tit-Bits. When he produced “Macbeth” at the old Princess’ theater he manufactured a contrivance which allowed Banquo’s ghost to appear through. a transparent eolumn. Later on, when Mrs. Ann. Radeliffe’s “Romance cf the Forest” was staged at Covent Garden theater, those re- sponsible for its production arranged that the spook in the piece should be seen by the audience through a gauze of bluish gray color. se that the too corporeal effect of a live actor might be removed. When the old playhouse in Drury lane opened, in 1794, with a perform- ance of “Macbeth.” Banquo’s ghost was omitted. Although Mr. Kemble’s acting was fine enough to make the audience almost believe that they real- ly did see the ghost, yet the people were not satisfied until the system they had been used to was readopted and Banquo’s shade allowed to trot bodily aeross the boards. Reflecting mirrors and the cinemato- graph are coming in general use at the theaters. and with them it has been found possible to manufacture ghosts capable of striking terror into the hearts of all followers of the oc- cult.
