Grandma North is one of the oldest
settlers Of this county and state, and
can tell some thrilling stories Of pioneer
days.
She came with her husband and fam
lily from Central Ohio to Omaha, first
stopping in Council Bluffs.
In 1857 Mr.. North was with company
OF men near where Pspihon is now To-
Gated, and getting separated from the
company in the heavy blizzard, was los,
and perished in the storm.
Soon after, the family came to Platte
county.
Grandma North had family OF seven
children, two Of which died before com.
ing west. James, Frank, Lutte, Mrs
Cushing and Mrs. Morse were with hel
to share the hardships and pleasures oi
pioneer dsys.
With the exception OF Frank, who
died twelve years ago, Mrs. North has
all the children with her here, an honor
to her and q great comfort.
She was seventy eight years old last
February.
She has separate rooms with her
daughter, Mrs. Gushing, and thoroughly
enjoys herself.
She is an honor to our country as q
pioneer lady.

he enlisted, but his health has improved
considerably since he left Manila. He
came by way Of Hong Kong and Japan
on the steamer Peru, and brought a large
number Of curious and souvenirs for his
friends. The boys Of the First have
travelled much and passed through
many hardships and experience since 60
ing into the service. Dick will be kept
busy for some time telling what he knows
about soldering on the other side Of the
globe Seward Blade.
Some time since ono Of our merch-
ants advertised an article for sale and in
printing We took . s for q 3 making the
article appear to be sold for 3Oc. instead
Of Soc, a. intended. TIE JOURNAL had
scarcely been distributed, before a rush
was made on the store. People had
read the advertisement, understood it
was q bargain, and were going to take
advantage Of it. OF course 10 were
sorry We had made q mistake, but what
impressed us was the idea that people
do read advertisements and ,chen then
see bargain they offered profit By it
Immediately. A merchant should a.
ways advertise his bargains, If he wants
to draw the crowd, and If his customer
have confidence in his honesty they viii
not be long in finding his store. Few
people realize how reasonable in price
in advertising through the weekly
papers amounts u in comparison With
tho pro(its derived. None Who have
ever gwen II . judicious trial, have
found it wanting.

a personal explanation in connection
with the incident. "The expression I
used is thought to be too violent" said
he, "and when any gentleman in the

which on reflection he feels to be
stronger than was necessary, he ought.
think, to take the first opportunity

full new sleigh to the door knob, ae
gave three loud raps and ran away.
He heard Dick open the door and
shout:
ooh! oh! oh! See what Santa
Claus has brought me!'
Suddenly Archie remembered the
berries he had promised to bring his
mother.
1T is not dark yet" he said, "and
know just where to find them" He
climbed the fence at the side Of the
road and went toward thick clump
Of trees.
1t was eight o'clock on Christmas
Eve and at Archies house his mother
stood at the door looking white and
frightened. His father, with Ian
tern in his hand, stood in the road.
Archie had not come home.
81 have been to Mr. Dunkirk's store"
said Archie's father. HE left before
dark. Now l will search the wood"
Some one shouted, Hello! hello!
hello!"
There he is now" cried Archie's
mother. II am so glad!' and she ran
down the road toward the voice.
The first person they met was Ellen,
pulling a beautiful new red and green
sleigh over the smooth snow, and on
1t was little Dick and Archie with his
arms full of red berries.
"Oh, where have you been?" said his
mother, as he ran to meet her.
II went to the woods for some ber-
ries and my coat caught in branch
and CO uld not get it away. II 1t had
not been for Ellen l might have been
hanging there yet"
How can l ever thank your" said
Archie's mother, turning to Ellen.
Il saw him go into the WOOD" re-
piled Ellen, after he put this beauti-
full sleigh on our doorstep for Dick.
Then, when l heard he was lost, fol-
lowed and looked for him. l would
have searched all night. l never can
do enough for him. He is the dear
est, best little fellow in the world"
and, turning, she hurried away.
The next morning when Archie
rushed into the room where the Christ
mas tree stood loaded down with gifts,
he found beneath it an express wagon,
and on the wagon was beautiful red
and green sleigh, exactly like the one
he had given to Dick.
Well, Archie was very happy that
day, but he often thought of Ellen
and poor little Dick, and when the
odor Of roasted turkey and mince pies
crept thu ough the house he wondered |
IL they would have any Christmas din
ner.
He asked his mother about it as she |
was brushing his hair. She only kiss |
ed him for reply, but in the dining
room, where all the family from far |
and near were assembled around the
table heaped with all manner of good
things, she said
Archie, come here and welcome
your guests" and he found himself |
seated between a pretty young girl
dressed in white and a very small boy
in a new suit of clothes. 1t was Ellen
and her brother Dick.
