The Old Farm.

O. for the charm of that dear old farm,
In the valley green and fair;
Ere the nothing light OF a decades fight,
Had penciled its changes there.
Oft like the chime from far sweet time,
To my soul comes a faint echo stealing;
And visions arise. with soft summer skies,
The home of my childhood revealing.
o, carry me back down the long winding track,
Till come to the merry bright mornings;
When I went with my hook to the little glad
brook,
With it's cowslip and violet adornings.
For dear to me then was the little green glen,
And the hiIlsides fragrant with clover,
And each little nook which knew like a book,
1 had read them SO many times over.
And this my world, while the great one
whirled,
But now, o strange is the seeming
A Wanderer returns, and the sweet vale dis
Germs
As one who awakes from his dreaming.
I haunt the old home like a poor, 'wildered
gnome,
From out the dim past reappearing.
Then HE me away to my bourne of to-day,
The bright living present revering.

There were four Watches left with me for
repairs this week that cost over seven hundred
and fifty Dollars. Why should this happen
with such great Theological school man in

Now, lay bluffing aside and come to a few
facts. I am not disposed, have been, to
reflect upon the ability of my competitors. 1
expect to meet competition fair and square,
and let my work speak for itself. l have been

Il HUT IN THE PRAIRIE.

| checked my horse, and after one
long, strainiug look around, owned to
myself that I was lost. [ had suspected
the fact for some time since, but had
stubbornly fought down the suspicion,
though my horse evidently realized it,
With patient endurance he p1odded
along, resignation plainly expressed
III the drOop of his tail and ears. A
Texas prairie is a beautiful, soul in
spring sight on bright day, when
the sky is an inverted bowl of tur-
quois, and the wind comes sweeping
over the grassy wastes as fresh and
sweet as the bloom on a baby's cheek,
but there can be no greater sense Of
desolatiOn born of nature than that
aroused by this same prairie when it
lies black and bare to the chill October
wind, which has plucked the glory Of
Indian summer from earth and sky
felt as | gazed about me, discon-
eerted and even a trifie anxious, for the
sun had set some minutes before in a
cloud heap, which, closing over it like
a rebel horde deposing it's king, over
ran his monarchy with it's blood
red standard. In place OF the ranch,
the hearty welcome, pleasant words,
bed, supper and fire had expected to
reach by sunset, there was nothing to
be seen before, behind, on either hand,
but the dead level of the plain. There
were paths in plenty; in fact, the
trouble was there We're too many-an
narrow and winding, for whose mean
dering there seemed not the slightest
excuse, except the general tendency
to croOkedness most things, animate
and inanimate alike, possess. But it
would have taken the instinct Of a
bloodhound or a trailing Indian to
have said which paths had been made
by horses feet or those of CATTLE
Tt was certainly beyond my powers to
decide, and in addition to their doubt
ful nature they had most perplexing
way Of running into each other, cross
ing and recrossing, going off at a tan
gent and frequently wandering off and
getting lost altogether. So I soon dis
missed the problem as hopeless of So
luton.
Now that the sun was gone, found
ny knowledge OF the points
of the compass gone with it.
AS sat perplexed and worried the
gloom Of twilight gathered fast and
the chill of coming rain smote me
through and through, while in the
distance there was a roll OF thunder.
CHANGING up saw that the masses Of
cloud had closed together in a curtain
Of gray mist. My horse strobe on of
his own accord, and hoping that his
instinct would lead us to some house
I let him have his will. Presently it
began to rain, a sort OF heartbroken,
passionless weeping, but with a steady
determination to persevere all night,
awoke graver apprehension in my
bosom than any amount of clustering,
showery downpour could have done.
This fine still rain was accompanied

Don't Forget to Pray.

+'It's hard to have you leave us, John,
They all are gone but you;
We're getting old and feeble, and
Our journey'll soon be through,
But since it is Gods pleasure, John,
To guide you on your way,
Accept, my boy, this precious book,
And don't forget to pray.
'sThis book has been treasure, John,
To father and to me;
As it has been to mill ions, and
To millions more viii be.
In sickness, pain and sorrow, John,
Twill shed cheering ray;
Then let it be constant guide,
And don't forget to pray.
'sThis world is full of wickedness,
OF Turing snares and sin;
And thousands, madly pressing on,
Are daily falling in.
But if you would escape them, John,
And keep tine narrow way,
Oh, make Gods Word your counsellor,
And don't forget to pray.
''With yearning hearts we'll pray dear John,
For your eternal veal,
As round the family altar
At morn and evening kneel.
In spirit you may join us, John,
Though many miles away,
If in your heart this Word you hide,
And don't forget TO pray
"Good-by! God bless and keep you, John,
Shall be our daily prayer;
And if we meet no more below,
God grant we may up there.
And we have this assurance, John,
To cheer us, that we may,
If we the Bible make our guide,
And don't forget to pray

the speech on the 9TH, when those new
converts to republicanism-yclept ''the

them again how, in his opinion, ''the

THERE is one thing the republican
papers of this county will one day
learn, and that is that the great mass
of people prefer to see newspaper fair
and impartial in making report of any
public demonstration, Of whatever pO-
litical belief or persuasion. The DEM
OCRAT has made it point to give a
fair and correct report of all political
conventions, of all parties, and has
never stopped to the little, contempt
able method of lying ridicule for polit-
ical effect. If the republican party
could tomorrow get up demonstra
ton anything like that made by the
peoples party on the 18th, this paper
would give correct and unbiased re-
port of the affair. We have always
given a correct report of their conven-
tions and their political movements.
But the report of the Jerry Simpson
meeting in this city, as made by both
the Register and Tribune, were a dis
grace to the newspaper business and
insult to the intelligence of their read
ers. Both papers put words in Con-
gresham Simpsons mouth that he
never uttered; both placed the number
of vehicles in line at 80 to 10 less than
the actual count: and both claimed
that there were two or three times as
many Long badges worn than they
knew were printed. And this style of
report was followed clear through. TO
the extent that many Of their own
party blush for the bare faced fraud
attempted, and deplore the short
sighted party blindness of men who
assume to think that the intelligent
readers of Barton county can be hum
bugged with impunity. One of these
days those two newspaper men Will
learn that it is better to be truthful in
all things.

Il Bold Robbery.
One Safe in the Great Bend Post Office
Robbed and Another Blown 0psn.
a Valuable Horse Stolen,

About z:45 Monday morning of this
week, Night Marshal Dick Ewalt was
returning from lunch, which he takes
between 1 and 2 o'clock each night,
when he discovered burglars in the post
Office. He first saw light flashing on
the north front of the old opera build
ing, and came up onto Broadway. He
then discovered that the light was in
the post Office. across the street. Run
ming over he tried the front door,
which was fastened, then went around
towards the back. by way Of the west
side. He saw man come running to-
wards the building from Fairs lumber
yard; and just then heard terrific ex-
plosion in the post Office. Dick hailed
the man with "Whe comes here?''
The man replied: Its men," and to
the query, was he citizen of the town,
replied that he was. and asked who
Dick was. Dick replied he was the
night watch, when the man called out,
"Look out, you'll get shot!' and disap-
peared through the lumber yard. Dick
went to the back end of the post Office
and found the window open, but no
one inside. He raised the alarm, and
an investigation showed that burglars
had pried open the window with crow
bar, after trying in vain to pry open
the door.
Inside, one safe was open and the
contents scattered on the floor, and the
other safe had been blown open, but
nothing taken out.
1t seems the robber, or robbers, had
opened the first safe-which had been
but one quarter locked, and taken from
it $4S. is in cash and about $500 worth
Of postage stamps. With a sledge
hammer and cold chisel the combina-
ton wheel had been pried out of the
other safe, powder poured in through
the opening thus made, and the charge
fired with a fuse. The robbers had
doubtless gone through the first safe,
and after fixing the second one and
firing the fuse, had gone outside to
| await the explosion; but when Dick
came so promptly On the scene had
skipped. The stamps taken were found
under pile of lumber in the morning.
In the safe that was blown open was a
large amount Of registered letters and
packages, and about $50 in cash, which
escaped being taken.
On the same night valuable horse,
| with harness. was taken from Geo.
Moss stable, and cart from the stable
of Jim keenan,. Parties heard racket
about the stable of Jim keenan, be-
tween two and three O'Clock, and it is
supposed that the postoffice robbers
took the horse to get away on.
The robbers had broken into Dodge's
blacksmith shop and got the tools they
worked with, and had pried open the
front door of Sterett's store and taken
about six pounds of powder and small
tin horn with which they poured the
powder into the safe. They disturbed
| nothing else at Sterett's.
The horse, which was shod with trot.
| ting shoes, was tracked to the Santa
Fe track, southwest of town, but that
was the only clew found so far as we
know. Officers started Immediately in
various directions, but up to the hour
of our going to press no tidings are
heard of the bold robbers.
