Bob. Burdette, of the Burlington
Hdwkeye says that everbody's trouble
ends when bed time comes. Evident
ly that guileless youth never ate the
half of a mince pie just before going
to bed, or never slept in the same
room with a good healthy young one
that was wrestling with a first class
spell of the collie.
Last Monday a paper was circulated
for the purpose of raising money to
build a house for old Mr.. and Mrs.
Albright, and about Sl6O was sub
scribed by our liberal hearted bust
ness men. The carpenters and plas-
terers have kindly donated the work,
and the old couple will soon have a
house of their WI to shelter them in
their old age. This is charity indeed.
The storm last Monday night caught
Henry Cook, of the Red Cloud drug
store with his breech-we mean that it
caught him unprepared. He WAS
having a second story put onto the
front or old part of his store, and that
part of the building was entirely with
out protection from the rain, and. as
he says, it rained harder and longer in
there than it did out doors. BY hard
work and plenty of assistance he
managed to save the greater part of
his goods without serious damage.
He thinks that a hundred dollars
would cover his entire loss.
Joe. CARRIER, for some inscrutable
purpose, had our esteemed Bro. Ken
ney elected president of the 4th July
celebration. When the advertisement
for the papers was made up the copy
was sent first to the Argus office lowing
to sickness we did not attend the meet
ing) and from that Office a proof sheet
of the lad" was sent to us, but it did
not contain the name of the president.
A recollection of the time A. ]. was
president" of a wolf hunt, and what
followed, probably deferred that emf
nent patriot from publishing his name
rs president again. But he needn't
bc afraid, we'll not say a word; we
pledge our word VIC wont. Stick your
name in, Bro. its all right.
Terrific Rain Storm.
The heaviest rain storm that has
