GREELEY.


1t beats the Jews how they snooze
in the pews.
The road supervisors are kept busy
repairing bad bridges.
VIM. Thomas is improving his farm
with a new round brick cave.
E. Bilharz' carriage was seen on
the west Greeley roads Sunday.
Asa johnson sold a fine Hereford
bull calf to the Carriers Of Melville for
fifty dollars.
Some of the farmers are economic
ing on their winter provender by
topping their corn.
Herman Hukill and lady, Miss Ellen
Schultz of Melville, were guests OF
Miss Elva Egan Sunday.
Busy now from early morn
To the evenings afterglow
With our binder cutting corn
Reaping riches row by row.
Geo. Egan and family went over
land to Menlo Friday and visited at
the home of Mrs. Egan's sister, Mrs.
Henry Campbell, over Sunday.
Mrs. Lou Anciaux departed on
Tuesdays excursion for Langdon, N.
D., to visit fortnight with her
daughter, Mrs. George Armstrong.
Frank Duvall has reached west
ward across the way and added the
Murphy land to his thrifty Greeley
ranch. We understand that the con-
sideration was in the neighborhood

am unable to see how the vegetar-
ian's argument is strengthened by the
admission that a mans qualities are
determined by the food he eats; for, il
beef makes a man cowish, pumpkin
makes him pumpkinish; If mutton
makes of him sheepshead, cabbage
will make of him a cabbage head; If
pork makes him hogish, squash makes
him squashy;> and last but not least,
nuts make him-well you can
clearly see that if any thing, his argu-
ment is weakened, for, for heaven s
sake! how about string beans?
Those who have had the privilege
of viewing the obscure details in the
Hartzell and Bascom case of Langdon,
North Dakota, can not but conclude
that possibly, II not very probably,
the deed was done without criminal
motives, 1t seems that human nature
mad been pushed to that point where
further tolerance required patience
divine, and q sacrifice of that social
dignity necessary to hold the respect
and confidence of the public. Then in
the presence of deadly armed enemy
who was supposed to be on the verge
of executing a dark purpose, came
that fatal flash, when 10! the wings
of Liberty are broken. Two happy
lives in the'glow of honorable pros
perity are darkened. Another very
embarrassing phase of the situation
is that justice, 1t seems, is compelled
to labor under a handicap of local
prejudice and envy. NOtwithstand-
the fact that this act cannot be justified
nor countenanced because of less rash
ways to proceed, these fellows are not
true criminals, and it is rank injustice
to regard them as such, even though
indiscriminating law may be compelled
to deal otherwise.
SEQUESTERED.
strolled into the orchard
One Sunday afternoon.
And fell asleep beneath the trees
Where autumn zephyrs Groom.
Some call it a siesta,
Others, latter dinner nap"
| took it for soothing dOZe
In mother natures lap.
AS gently fell the autumn leaves
Upon my tired form
Dame nature sang this song to me
And lulled life's raging storm:
Come to sleep my weary child,
The world thy heart has torn.
Lay now thy head against my breast,
And cease to be forlorn."
The sun went down, the twilight Same.
A flock of wandering crows,
Wild clamoring, shattered my sweet
dream.
/ from the ruins rose.
And stood bewildered while the worlds
Gruff voice was calling me.
An unseen hand then pushed me forth.
Twas rude reality.
