IN THE STORM.
Ny child, your hero may not be.

Ny child, your hero may not be,
In truth, hero all the time;
Remember, it must chance that he
Shall still have rugged sleeps to climb.
Don't place him on too high plane
In fancy; then he will not fall
In your esteem and may attain
To something noble after all.
Ny boy, don't think your sweetheart bears
A halo on her golden hair;
A crown of purity she wears,
And you must help to keep it there.
But she will have her trying moods
And be not always kind and sweet;
These are LIES nerving interludes-
Sad pitfalls for unwary feet.
You both are far from perfect yet,
And quarrels will, UNHAPPY, come;
Both may be wrong; so don't forget,
In anger's blind delirium,
That sweet concessions each must make
And tender promises renew
Or else loving heart may break
And sorrow come to dwell with you.

This is the busy season about Ross.

The Fourth was holiday for the
creamery. The haulers forgot to put

wheels OF the machinery stood still.
1t was no go. The Fourth comes but
once year and the boys were justified
in hearing the eagle scream and see
ing all they could.
Mrs. r. c. Derthick and her sister,
Mrs. L. S. Harvey arrived Tuesday
from Polk county to visit at the
home of j. S. Rice. Mrs. Derthick is
the mother of Mrs. Rice and came in
expecting to and did surprise them,
but was herself more surprised at
finding herself grandmother and a
bouncing big boy to welcome her.
Tom Stingle went to Anita Tues
day evening to celebrate among his
old time friends. To hear the eagle
scream among people with whom one
is well acquainted is to enjoy the
celebration better. To be among
strangers is to knock all the pleasure
and enjoyment out of the good time
expected. Tom, however, need not
fear for friends where he has gone as
his long residence there has given him
many.
A game of base ball was played the
first of the week in Ross between the
boys of The Grove and the boys
about Ross. Reports are so conflict
as to the out come we are somewhat
in doubts as to the ones to whom it
should be granted. Ross claims the
victory while the boys from The
Grove are equally as loud in their
claim for victory. We are willing to
allow it to pass as a draw game in
which they are to play it over to see
which is really the winner.
