ago. This morning he started bark
with not enough money to get a meal at
a roadhouse. In a few short hours he
had squandered his dust, even to the
last pennyweight. Still was formerly a
printer and was highly respected. Keen
now a stranger meeting him on the trail
might not suspeet the depths into which
his reckless habits have led him. It is a
pity he did not have self control enough
to save at least a part of his money—
instead of laying it all out in grub.
New Cellar Completed.
Julius llahmstorf has just completed
a large new cellar under his store build
ing. The ground, of course, was frozen
from a few inches of the surface, but ex
pel ience shows that articles may be
stored in such places during winter with
out injury from frost. In summer, also,
they serve to keep fresh meats and fish
for an indefinite time; and in fact serve
every purpose of both warm and
cold storage. Mr. Hahmstorf has con
structed a drain from the cellar to the
river hank, which will keep everything
dry and sweet.
Other fine cellars are those put in the
present year under the N. A. T. AT I'o.’s
store and Mr. Heeter’s residence. They
are somewhat costly, but are well worth
the expense.
