AS we said last week Ionic Hansen

AS we said last week Louie Hansen
dedicated his new barn last Saturday
night by joyous good time where
many busy feet kept time to the mus
ic in the dance. Louis has steadily
added to and improved his fine farm
from what 1T was when he came there
and getting it to look like beautiful
home.
Peter Sorensen who used to work
for Hans Madsen in the harness bust
ness and who went to Denmark last
spring was back in Kimballton, the
first of the week, shaking hands with
friends. He thinks America a good
place yet and has purchased farm
outfit of his brother, over in Guthrie
county and will work it the coming
summer.
Mr.. Clark living three miles west
of Elkhorn sold his large 24O acre
farm to three different parties receiv-
ing 1920 per acre. There may be
some litigation yet over the land as
party claims to have sold it on com.
mission the same day. But tits TO be
hoped that they can come to anagree-
ment and settle the matter before it
goes to far.
A very lamentable and painful
operation was performed last Friday,
three doctors gathered to re- break or
react upon Jess Bendtsens leg, that
| was broken some time ago and has
since not yielded to natures medical
TN, n nd of 70 l-,,
together. The doctors now believe
they have got at the true source of
the trouble and will soon have him
on the high road to recovery.
Marius julie went out west of Elk
horn last week and purchased the DR..
Allen farm paying $50 90 per acre for
the same. The doctor is one of the
| pioneers of the county and has enjoy
ell very large practice in all the
time he has been doctoring. He and
his wife are natural born gentleman
and lady and are always SO courteous
that people love to meet them. They
expect to find some quiet place and
then settle down to spend the re-
mainder Of their days in peace.
The destroying angel of death
swept over the battlements of his
throne above and alighted on the
home of Wilhelm Vigers and took
therefrom his aged mother who for
the past year has felt the chill finger
of disease and now gave up to the
ravages. For seventy eight years she
| had seen the snow watt down to wrap
in purity the sombre darkness of
mother earth and then again in the
many springs she has listened to the
Joyous song of birds in harmony with
her life of happiness and sympathy
with those around her. She was
buried in Elkhorn last Friday and
sleeps in quietness where when the
last call comes she can meet all in the
world she loved.

The M. w. A. lodge have a candi-
date to be initiated into the myster-
les of woodcraft on their regular meet

be hauled over the burning Goals and
they will have their fire burning very

The Brayton BOYS crossed bats
with the West Hamlin nine, last Sun
day. The game was not very fast
one, owing to the poor playing done
by the Hamlin team. They were I'M
able to hold the score down against
their rugged opponents and when the
game was over and the score had been
counted up, it was found to be % to
5 in favor of Brayton. HAYES and
Jones thought it was not the day for
them to play ball anyhow.
Miss Lucille Connrardy, teacher OF
the Brayton school, and her scholars
all INDUCED in a picnic in the Hal
lock woods, north of Oaktield, Friday
and invited the teachers and pupils
from the Oaktield Academy to ioiu
them, which they did and all enjoyed
themselves in the good time together.
Miss Connrardy's pupils gave pro-
gram which was much appreciated by
those present and went back to their
school work the following week with
renewed vigor.
A reunion was held last THURSDAY
in honor OF Mrs. N. p. Jensen when
large number of relatives. assembled
to have good time and visit and talk
over past occurrences. Among the
number present was Mrs. Madsen and
daughter, sister of Mrs. Jensen who
had not seen her sister for % wears.
Her sons Marienes and Chris Jensen
OF Harlan, were present and indulged
in the pleasures of the day. This is a
happy time when all the relatives
can meet together as it brings clos
er friendship and deeper love for
each other.
The Harvest Home entertainment
given at the Baptist church, Sunday
night, was decided success and the
program was carried out in manner
that reflected great credit on the ones
that took part on the program, as was
given last week. The church was dec
GRATED with ears of corn, big yellow
pumpkins, flags and bunting and au-
tumn leaves OF various hues and col
ors, that lent a charm to the evening
entertainment. Each entertainment
that the children have given in the
past have been a decided success,
which speaks we'll for the children
and. for the older people who have
instructed them in the services given.

Willing 10 ohlire.

The young man was from town and
was spending Sunday in the suburbs.
He knew far more about horses and
carriages than the local livery sales
man, and so his interview with the lat
ter when he sought to hire ''rig" for
the afternoon was tinged with a gentle
air of patronage on his part. "oh, have
you trap you can let me Aave?"

The Human Ear.

The human ear is an organ the true
lnwardness of which the physicians
have never been able TO get at. They
can examine the interior Of the eye
with ease by throwing into its dark
chamber ray of light reflected from
a little mirror. and they found It pos
slDle even to see the gray matter of the
brain by looking through the little
canal by which the optic nerve enters.
The cavity behind the nose they In
spect with the aid OF light placed far
back in the mouth.
They have no difficulty in seeing into
the stomach by an electric apparatus;
the Intesti~cs likewise are readily
enough investigated, and the bladder
also. But the ear as to Its internal
arrangements is unapproachable. 1t Is
Impossible to dIssect it satisfactorily
after death. for the reason that the
parts collapse Mt once when the vital
spark Leaves the body.

..nnna 20 MOI. . LIvern.

One Of the paradoxes of waste is that
the persons most addicted to 1t are not
men and women OF independent means
who can support themselves in spite Of
their extravagant expenditure, but the
poorer classes. There is hardly an able
bodied laborer who might not become
financially Independent If he would but
carefully husband his receipts and
guard against the little leaks Of need
less expense. But unfortunately this 10
the one thing which the workingman
finds It the hardest to do. There are a
hundred laborers who are willing to
work hard to every half dozen who are
willing properly TO husband their earn
ings. Instead OF boarding small per.
centage OF their receipts SO as to pro-
vide against sickness or want of em-
ployment they eat and drink up their
earnings as they go, and thus in the
first financial crash, when mills and
factories shut down" and capitalists
lock up their cash instead of using 1t
in great enterprises. they are ruined.
Men who thus live "from hand to
mouth" never keeping more than Il
days march ahead Of actual want, are
little better off than slaves.-Success.

rhe ACT Dying.

T'hc popular idea that The act Of dying
Is a painful process often causes fear
Of death. tut death from even the
most painful mortal diseases Is usually
preceded by a period OF cessation from
suffering and partial or complete insen-
slbility resembling falling asleep or the
pleasant gradual unconsciOusness caus-
ed by an anesthetlc.
The common phrase death agony" Is
not warranted by what occurs in natu-
ral death. which is complete relief
from all pain. When death Is owing TO
heart failure or syncope. 1t Is sudden
and palnless-perhaps pleasant. Death
by hanging, there is reason to believe.
is attended by voluptuous spasm.
Death by decapitation or electricity Is
only momentary shock, hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies in painful
ness according TO the poison employed.
Opium and other narcotics probably
give a painless. perhaps a pleasant,
dreamful death. Hemlock, as we know
from the account OF the death OF So
crates, causes gradual inscnsibillty
from below upward. On the other
hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic and
mineral acids. corrosive sublimate, tar
tar emetlc and other metallic polsons
infllct slow and torturlnS death. Prus-
sic acid and cyanide OF potassium cause
quick and painful death.-Humanlta-

Count tho Tiaes a Horss Rolls,

To see a horse when out at pasture
rolling on the ground and endeayoring
70 turn over ON his back Is q common
sight, but how many people have mo-
ticed that in doing this horses observe
IN Invariable rule:
The rule is that lie always rolls over
either at the first third attempt
never at the cortland more than
three attempts mr. lever made. In
other words, II the horse succeeds in
rolling over at the lrst try, well and
good-that satisfies him; but II the
first attempt is a failure, the second
one always is. Then he either rolls
quite over at the third or gives 1t up.
He never makes fourth.
II horses are rolling on sloping ground,
they usually roll up hill. This Is more
easy of explanation than the strange
custom regulating the number of at
tempts. AS TO this no adequate reason
has ever been offered. VIII those In
genious people who tell US why dog
turns round before lying down, and
why ducks walk behind each other in a
string instead of abreast explain why
a horse never makes four attempts to
roll over and never succeeds at the
second?

Brnln FOOD Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thoritles. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part Of the body, but IL Will sustain
every other part OF the body. Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must preppre for

More Laughter. Less Suicides.

The physiological benefits of laughter
cannot be ovcrestlmated. 1t shakes up
the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating
to a lively measure, stimulates the
blood corpuscles. enlIvens the brain and
sometimes produces dislocation of the
jaw when INDUCED in too heartily by
u man with large mouth. Used with
discretion, laughter is as inspiring as a
sea breeze. as refreshing as an August
shower. Its moral effect is beyond
computation. 1t has killed more ridIcu-
lous superstItions by its rolllcking roars
of unbellef than any other agency.

laugh? The man who laughs never
