THERE ARE some men who would
destroy the Republican party to get
rid of an unworthy official This
would be as sensible as the sinking of
ship to get rid of rotten spar, or
the destruction of crop of wheat to
get rid of a few miserable weeds. The
true way is to remedy defect as soon
as discovered. If bad man is found
in an official position, get rid of him
The sooner the better. This done,
the party is better than ever. Repub-
licans should never lose sight of re-
form, but reform calls for improvement.
and not wholesale destruction. Re-
form, by substituting Democracy for
Republicanism, can never be attained
1t wonld be a movement backward
1t would be equal to supplanting.

tury with the barbarism of the dark
ages.-Er.

God Bless the Farm.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm
God bless its every rood,
Where willing hearts aad sturdy arms
Can earn an honest livelihood
Can from the coarse and fertile soil
in back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field, and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers,
And every leaf that's gently shook
By evening breeze or morning showers;
God bless them all each leafs gem
In natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that, in early spring,
Blush rich in fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits in golden showers;
Like pOmegranates on AaronS rod,
A miracle from Natures God.
And may he bless the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reign
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad, beauteous earth contain,
Than where secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful life
Unvexed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mold
Then scatterS on the golden grain,
And reaps reward an hundred fold;
he dwe!ls where grace and beauty charm
For God hath blessed his home and farm.

her SO much assistance in getting her

Dear Norris:
Your welcome favor of the 18th of
July reached me at Sidney, Nebraska,
and pardon me for not having replied
before, but [ have been on the 90 con-
tlnually since [ left Randall some two
months since and it was impossible to
do much writing.
Well, made my overland trip, and
presuming that you have not heard of
me since last [ wrote you, will give a
mere outline Of the journey; to give
you the particulars would be impossi-
BILE.
July 0th [ left Randall and in few
hours overlook the train which had
been on the road two days, but owing
to bad weather had gone but short
distance.
Train life consisted mostly of hard
work and short supply of "Grub, "
that is, only two meals day, when a
fellow could have handled at least six
good square meals ''ike book The
days work began by "Joe'' yelling
every one out cf bed an hour before
sunrise. Then the cattle were driven
in and yoked up and soon after sunrise
the train ''rolled away and continued
to "rolp' till proper place to camp
was found, which occurred anywhere
from 7 to 10 o'clock. Then came the
first meal. Bacon, beans, bread and
coffee. You can imagine what hun
Cry set we were by 'sgrub time" and
what tremendous lot of food disap-
peared too.
At 3 or 4 p. M, the train would be-
gin to roll again and the p. m. drive
continued till sun down-then supper
and more ''stufing-" Things went on
thusly till July Is, when a large party
of Brule Indians came to our nova
day camp and demanded food, which
Reed at first refused them, but when
they Informed him that they would
destroy his outfit he let them have
| what they wanted, viz: l thousand
pounds hour--as much corn and | bar

and LETT apparently satisfied, but next
morning we found they had killed some

to the night herder just to go into the

just pulling out, but as I expected the
herders back IN a moment [ thought il
all right. An hour passed and nc
