Northern Korea that the plan for
checking the Japanese land advance is
perfected and that heavy reserves are
being brought up to the Yaiu River.
Every energy of the authorities is
now directed to prevent a blockade on
the Siberian Railroad. Twenty new
sidings. each of 2.200 feet are being
erected. Owing to the heavy mow
ment of rolling stock carrying rein-

grunt danger that in bringing back
empty cars the whole line may be
stopped. With the sidings new build.

A cold snap is as bad as the fishing
, season for making liars. A West Alton
man says that. a citizen of that town
threw a cupful of water at a cut one
..~.orning this winter. The water froze
_into a chunk of ice in the air, hit the
icat on the head and broke its skull.
l Then he tells about a Flint Hill wom-
Ean who left a lamp burning all night
in the kitchen, and when she tried to
blow it out in the morning found the
flame frozen hard. She broke it. off
and threw it into the woodshed. where
, later it thawed out and set the shed on
fire.
' As if those two were not enough he
, winds up with the story of a St. Charles
idocton who just before he started on
,a drive, took a half dozen good sized
icold night. and his breath was frozen
into chunks. He put the chunks into a
pail when he got home and thaWed
them out; and had a quart of pretty
fair whisky.
