How srandfather's clock to the public did speak;
And the following are the remarks 1t did make:
AT the beginning oftime commenced my career.
Nyou look atmy face you willsce why I'm here,
It's In hours ana minutes the time to divide
And my face from the public never did hide.
The day of the month likewise do show.
And when I'm out of killer know where 10 20;
Ills down to McMillans, I've been there before,
Just east ofthe postofice, the very next door,
l with oldIage had become go feeble,
That to move my hands did not feel able.
With drowsiness could not hold up my head,
| 80 fell asleep and they thought was dead.
But when to this jewelers. shopI did go,
| Where they are 30 skillful and prices 70 low.
| was only detained short time over there
TIL they found my disease and then did me cure,
50 now that I feel five hundred years younger,
And In all my life Incver felt stronger.
lfanyone wirhes to interview me,
Al Bride s McMillan's Just coll and you'll see
he best lot of clothing there is to be found,
This side Of st. Paul, with prices way down."
80 low that although your wheat is all froze,
You still will be able to purchase your clothes,
And oil other dry-goods. and groceries too,
They sell them 20 cheap that between .you and

As old as am, l never before,

A few farmers in this vicinity have
had the misfortune to have some frozen
wheat, but in about every case it is only
a small piece that was sowed late, or on
late spring blowing. But the price for
No. l hard is much higher than last year
and as whole the outlouk is good.
Some of the ladies in town whose
husbands were working in the country,
became somewhat uneasy about the late
evening visitor and were afraid to sleep
alone, so four of them bunked together,
thus combining their force, probably
thinking they were equal to any emcr-
gency.
Quite an amusing incident occurred on
our street Monday; two half breeds,
being somewhat intoxicated, got into a
dispute and resolved to fight it out.
The boys induced them to put a
pair of boxing gloves on, as they
might have harmed one another.
They fought for about ten minutes before
time was called. They quit OH the best
OF terms as neither of them had received
scratch OF Il black eye. Sheriff Dick
had better station Il man out here.
