Meason, on Cedar creek, at 8
O'Clock, Mable Josephine, young
est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mea-
son, and Harry P. L%effert, were
united in marriage, Rev. II. E.

mony.
After the the ceremony and the
congratulations were over the
newly welded couple and the
guests seated at a most ex.
c%ellent wedding supper. Mr.. and
Mrs. Meason are famed for their
hospitality as we'll as their cuisine
and this supper was no exception
to the rule. There were both a
brides and groom's cake, the
groom's cake having been sen,
from Omaha by Mr.. Leffert's
mother. After supper the guests,
of whom there were about 80,
spent the evening in games and
music until midnight, when they
wished the couple a happy new
year and left for home.
The wedding was a very pleas
ant one in every particular. A.
Petrie was groomsman, and the
sister of the bride. Miss Ella Mea.
sou, was bridesmaid. The bride
was go~ned in a beautiful white
China silk and looked very sweet
and womanly. The bridesmaid
also wore a gown of China silk.
Mrs. Leffert has lived in the
valley since a child, aud has grown
into womanhood possessed of many
charms and pleasing qualities.
Mr. Leffert came to the valley
three or four years ago, and is at

Last Monday morning, E. j..
Kimball, a freighter, who resides
in Riverside, and who is hauling
coal to that place, met with a ser
ious accident, about a mile south
of town. He had six horses and
twp wagons loaded with coal,
bound for Riverside. In crossing
the steep gulley, at the corner of
the fence, he fell and the wheels
of both wagons run over his feet
and right leg. He was unable to
rise until George Edwards, who
was about ten minutes behind
him, came along and helped him
to mount one of his horses in Or
der that he might come back to
town. He got as far as the resi-
dence of j. F. Crawford, when he
was compelled to ask for assis-
lance. He was taken in, made

Almost Caught It.

While one of the young COW
punchers from Wyoming was east
with a shipment some time the
past fall, he had rather an anus
ing experience. He was sitting
in the large depot at Kansas city
waiting for his train to leave for
the west. There were about fifty
people, and as il was along to-
wards morning Il good many of
them were asleep or dosing and
quiet reigned supreme. He was
sitting in one corner, not paying
much attention to anything, when
he saw a rat steal out from be-
hind some baggage which was
piled up against the wall near an
angle in the building. Forget
ting where he was for the time
being, he let a yell out of him
that would have startled the ma
tives and started after the rat,
which took down one Of the long
aisles.
To tell it in his own words,
well sir, l was gaining on that
rat every jump and was just about
ready to lay my hands ON him
when he snapped ends and made
straight for IA man who was sitting
on one of the seats, with his legs
stretched out in front of him
sound asleep. The rat didn't dc
q thing but shoot straight up one
of that fellows breaches legs and
of all the panic stricken individ-
uals | ever saw that man had q
little the best of it. His eyes
fairly stood out on the sides of his
head and lie stampeded around
there falling over seats and tramp,
ing on women until the rat got
shaken out. Well, that crowd
was 80 excited for a little bit they
didn't know straight up, and il

streak in his make up 1 probably

The Rural Telephone Line.

One of the greatest news gath
erers in the eastern districts,
where the farms between the
small towns r connected with a
party telephone line, is telephone.
There is from one to three dozen
families on the line and it is a
difficult problem, which many of
them are trying to solve, why Just
as many women can't talk over
the telephone ard understand
each other as they could if they
we're in the same room. A man
will ring up Jones down the line
and ask him if Cyrus sold his
corn, and what he got for it.
Jones hasn't heard, but another
voice speaks up which is recog-
nized as Bills, and tells the par
ty of the first part that Cyrus
sold his corn all right and got SO
much for it. When the converse
ton is closed the audible click of
ten or fifteen receivers being
hung up testifies to the number
of interested listeners on the
line.
As an example of the efficiency
of this sort of newspaper a man
living in one town telephoned
over the farmers line to another
man in a town some miles away,
that DIR. So-and-so, quite a family
physician, had died and the fu-
neral would be the next day at
2 O'Clock. The following day not
less than half the subscribers on
the line were on hand to at
tend the funeral, and the good
doctor was very much surprised
as well as the farmers.

The Lessons to Come. d.


The old year of nineteen humid
red and two is past, and not one
day can ever be recalled. We
have all had our ups and downs
our joys and sorrows. Many
homes have been made desolate by
the taking of loved ones to the
world beyond.
But to a great many it has been
a happy and a prosperous year,
one filled with many pleasant
memories. What the coming
year has i'll store for us we do not
know. If we are kind and SYM
pathetic and ever ready to help
Others we will surely reap the re-
ward of all well spent and well
directed efforts. So, with the be-
ginning of the new year, let us
one and all remember the lesson
OF self sacrifice, and patience.
Let us try and not let one oppor-
tunity pass by UNDECIDED where
we can do good, and aid your fel.

All hail the New Year Of nine
teen hundred and three, and may
we all try to make it one of the
most profitable as well as the hap
piest of our lives.

"The chief danger threatening
the life of this country today in
my judgement arises in the I'M
satisfactory state of journalism

rather than to tell the truth No
lie is more misleading or vicious
than half statement or perversion.
democracy must ultimately
succeed, for Democracy and
Christianity are one; but democ-
racy as a political experiment in
this country may not succeed at
all. Democracy as a government
has failed before, as Mr.. Lecky
ably proves, and may fail again;
but, though this country and that
country fail, the principle of dem
ocracy must ultimately win, for it
is Gods truth"
"The one thing that threatens
our democracy in this country is
the perverse effort to spread be-
fore the people not the truth it.

United States-the truth about
