THE OLD oAKEN BUCKET
SET TO DAKOTA MEASURE.

"coyote" in Blunt Advocate.
How dear to my heart are the scenes Of pre-
empting,
Whenfon recollectionrecalls them to view,
The filing, the proving, the swearing SO temp
ting,
And every loved spot that my pre-emption
knew,
The wide spreading plain and the butte that
stood by it,
The creek and the hillside in sunshine and
rain;
The shack of my neighbor, the sod-stable
And e'en the old shanty that stood on the
claim
The little old shanty, the sod-covered shanty
the tarred paper shanty
That stood on the claim.
That little old shanty hailed as treasure
AS over the burrows I wearily trod;
I found it at noontime an exquisite pleasure
10 rest in Its shadows from turning the sod
How eager fastened to gain its rude cover
When the shadows of evening fell thick or
the plain;
Not a cozier nook could be found this world
over
Than the little old shanty that stood OF
the claim
The little old shanty, the sod covered shant5
the tarred paper shanty
That stood on the claim.
How sweet in that little old shanty to slum
Der,
While the fierce bowling blizzard swep
wild DER the plain.
OF all the enjoyments Dakota can number
There 'snone equals Stacking on pre-emp
tiOn claim
But now far removed from that loved situa'
tion,
And the friends whom never
again,
Fond memory reverts to my Dakota location.
And sighs for the shanty that stood on the
claim
The little old shanty, the sod-covered shanty
the tarred paper shanty
That stood on the claim.

lar among the young social set. will
greatly regret her departure.

The daily sentinel., 1903-02-24

speakers responded to the various
toasts. To the credit of all present
it can be said that no one left their
seats until the toastmaster announced
the conclusion of the evenings exer-
cises.
Exalted Ruler, J. NJ. Sampliner
spoke to the toast "The Order" +"
Most excellently did he give due
credit to he splednid organization in
to with great attention.
]. S. Carnahan followed with a
toast to "The Social Side of the Elk. -
To this subject he did justice fully
and received the abundant applause
of the listeners.
A. N. Bucklin spoke to the toast.
1.-THE Elk as a Business Man" No
better selection could have been made
for the response to this toast. Fully
in earnest Mr.. Bucklin. gave due
weight to this side of the many sided
Elk.
Orson Adams, Jr.. in his response
to the toast to the Ladies. - very
pertinently hit upon the idea that the
and whatever the Elk provided for
himself. he was willing to make his
wife or sweetheart his partner in
his joys. This struck most re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of the
ladies'.
The above constituted the formal
portion of the program and afterwards
several impromptu speeches We're
made which took with most telling
effect.
O. w Haskell, most humorously
and with unction told why he had
been pronounced zone of the greatest
orators of America This was a
neat bit of comedy play and brought
forth storms of applause
W. H. Osborn. spoke to the toast
Anticipation of an Initiation" Mr..
Osborn not having been initiated,
though an elected member of the or
der. made a number of telling hits on
his inspiring subject.
@. Z. jenkins, who has been on
every committee thus tar for the balls
and banquets for the Elks, responded
to the toast. ''How 1t is Done.'' Mr..
jenkins very tersely touched the SEN
timent of the Elks, when he said that
following the hard work of each sue
ceeding ball, resolutions were taken
against holding others. but that those
were always forgotten, in the light of
the splendid times enjoyed.
The toastmaster in conclusion gave
expression to the thanks of the organ
ization to the splendid committee
that had always served in working
out the splendid events that have
given the Elks the name of the most
splendid entertainers in all this city.
That committee consist ed of Messrs
Morrison L. Wohlfort. Sterling L.
Poage, g. E. Jenkins. J. H. Gallupe
and W. E. Longshore
Another name must be added fol
last nights occasion. Mr.. Mason. who
worked strenously to make the hall
attractive during all of last evening.
That the affair, with the Others
that have gone before will be en-
shrined as one of the never to- be for
gotten social events of the social his
tory of this city. goes without tile
saying and more potential than ever,
Yields to the organization the name of
the princely entertainers.

DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING
as Given to the Farmers by the
County Auditor.

In preparing strychnne for
gophers, take contents Of one bot
tie H Oh. and pour over it one
tablespoonful of good vinegar,
and let it stand for one hour, then
pulverize and mix with one gal.
lon Of wheat, and pour on enough
warm water to thoroughly wet
the wheat; let it stand for Is to
IS hours, and it is ready for use.
CAUTION.
In handling strycbnine it is abb
solutely necessary to always
bear in mind that this is a dead
lv poison. You cannot be too
careful but the chances are that
you will be careless. Do not leave
it where children come in contact
