1t does seem as thoughsa person who

knowledge enough to know that high
or a low moon HIS nothing to do with
the GOODNESS or warmneSS of the winter
If the editor of the Tribune will note the
position of the moon in two weeks he
will think it is going to be cold WIN
ter. The moon is always opposite the
sun at full moon and between the earth
and sun at new moon. AS the sun is
far her south in winter the moon will
rise farther north at full and farther
south at new moon.

The Barton county DEMOCRAT man
yearns for love. He should be able to
find plenty of it in Great Bend. If he
cannot we respectfully refer him to
7. w. Havermale, who will assist him
20 the best of his ability.--Larned
Democrat.
o-AYE, loye is the sweet that takes
from our mouth the bitter taste left
there by recent national results. Love
as about all we get these hard times,
and the harder the times the more love
we need. The Larned Democrat man
should remember our gender" how
ever, and should not recommend us to
'-Havermale'' but to have-er-female.

OF the song. Knowing these facts, 1
have been requested by my friends TO
give the public the benefit of my knowl-

Annie Laurie was born in 1927, and
was about seventeen years old when the
incident occurred which gave rise TO
the song bearing her name. James
Laurie, Annie's father, was a farmer,
who lived and owned large farm call
ed Thraglestown, in Dcmfriesbire,
Scotland. He hired a great deal of
help, ard among those he employed was
a man by the name of Wallace to act
as foreman. and while in his employ
Mr.. Wallace fell IN love with Annie
Laurie, which fact her father soon
learned, and forthwith discharged him.
He went TO his home, which was in
Maxwelton, and was taken sick the very
night he reached there, and the next
morning when Annie Laurie heard of
it, she came TO his bedside and waited
on him until he died, and on his death
bed he composed the song entitled
