UNANOlNTED AFFAIRS.

STet it be- said he ''that the hounds shall win'
Let>it come that bow to the ours
And stand fool in the eyes of the world,
But, on, never fool in hers!
It was not for the sake of the things they sought
Nor the foolish crowns they cried for,
Nor for any of all the ancient gods
Their fathers had fought and died for.
It was not, he knew, for the name OF the land
Nor the pride of the loins that bore him;
Not, not for these did he die his deaths
And crush to the goals before him.
So the years that he wrought were empty years.
And the laurels he gathered-their laughter;
But, ah, not his were the lips that kissed
Her-her whom he hungered after.
tLet it be that the ancient jests holds good
Let it come that l bow to the ours
And stand a fool i'll the eyes of the world,
But, oh, never fool in hers!'
Aye, the years he wrought seemed wasted years.
And his goodly strength was broken,
And his shrveled heart lay dry as dust,
And the word was left unspoken.
Yet he stood, at the end, in their wondering eyes
(For all that he held them curs),
Far more of god than a fool indeed,
But a fool to the end in hers!

The Vets Have a Good Time.

There is an attraction about "a
Grand Army entertainment which al
ways draws crowd, and last Mon
day evening was no exception to the
general rule. The old boys of Over
ton Post No. SO, had a swell time at
the armory on the occasion of their
camp fire, the evening of Lincoln's
birthday. There was a depression
from the conventional speech making
and story telling which was, to some
extent, an improvement on camp fires
generally. There was music, card
playing, dancing and everything of
an amusing nature, going on at one
and the same time, the young and
old commingled, and every one was
happy, The Misses Christianson and
Lochren delighted the assembly with
some very fine instrumental music
and were frequently encored as an
appreciation of their kindness, and
musical ability. Capt. Delahu Mt,
second in command,-Col. Bevans
being the 'hokey pokey,' gave an
exhibition drill which convinced all
present that the captain and his boys
are strictly in it, and Morris has rea-
son to be proud of her militia com
pany. The cigar firm of O'Malley
Il Thomasson presented the ves with
a box of cigars which they clung to
with the tanacity of grim death to
sick African. At the business meeting
in the early part of the evening, a
vote of thanks was rendered the
Misses Lochren and Christianson, for
their kindness in furnishing music;
to Capt. Delahunt, for surrendering
the armory on his drill night; to
OMalley & Thomasson for the cigars
and to the Ladies Relief Corps, for
their services in securing refresh
ments, which was accomplished with
the least hustle or apparent effort
imaginable, considering the number
to be served. The Morris string band
furnished the music for dancing, and
taking into consideration that they
have but recently organized, their
music was excellent. The evenings
closed with ladies
choose 'pards for quadrille,'.' and
how the girls did go for the old sol
diers, Chas.Pepper got mixed up with
Frank Hesler, Jake See let loose the
terpsichorean heel, while Uncle
Bohmbach carried off the dough nut.

Although the village of Morris is

Although the village of Morris is
furnishing water to the Great North

village and the railway company have
not yet been able to agree on cen
tract which will be satisfactory to

drew up its contract and sent it to
the Great Northern officials to sign.
This was rejected and last Saturday
night the coun, il in turn rejected the

Owners Liens as Chattel Mortgages

In decision handed down last
Friday the supreme court of this
state decided in case in which one
of the ordinary farm leases used in
this state was involved, that under
such a lease the owner of the land
and the renter are tenants in COM
mon of the crops raised, and that a
chattel mortgage given by the renter
on his share of the crops, if recorded
first, will take precedence of any lien
contained in the renting contract in
favor of the owner. The clause in the
lease which gives the owner lien on
the crop is construed as a chattel
mortgage and therefore the question
of precedence would depend entirely
on the order of fling.
