Mrs. A. B. Markham, of Audubon,
formerly a popular Greeleyite, while
here visiting old friends previous to
her departure for Marshalltown, be-
came the center of little sociable at
March 3.
A train of five wagons with a brawl-
ing mammoth jack tied to the tail end
of it was seen meandering its way out
of Greeley Thurgday. 1t was the
Oscar Ward outfit enroute to the farm
he recently bought just north of Extra.
A good natured wordy bout with a
friend is like summer shower falling
through sunshine. A PLEASANT little
storm without clouds, and, speaking
from an ideal stand point, the patter
of the words upon our friendship is
like the patter OF the sparkling rain
drops upon the flowers. They are ex-
hilirating because the real meaning OF
the words and the sentiments of the
person using them are antithstic.
They are seen to be so as they come
scintillating down through the sum
shine of friendship. 1t is scarcely
possible, however, to find two dispo-
sitions so happily turned as to make
this a safe sport. Sooner or later in
the blithesome fray, sullen clouds will
appear, in whose gusty breath the
lamp of friendship will begin to flick
er. The words have become more
subtitle and less direct. Dark motives
are seen boiling up behind them and
clouding the blue sky of friendship.
A red eyed monster is seen wriggling
from the ooze and shine of lower
plain and slyly approaches with drawn
dagger. My dear friends, this mon
strosity is but human being with a
desire to injure the feelings of his fell
low man, but do not touch the ugly
thing. Turn aside and obey the good
old book by resisting evil and the
loathsome creature will retreat back
into it's dark abode and leave you un-
defiled. 1t is now that you feel sorry
that you ever attempted friendly re-
tort without a thorouh understanding
of the character of your antagonist.
TO THE RESCUE.
A demon throttled him one day.
He fought with all his might.
But ali! too weak, it dragged him of
Into the muttering night.
And left him lying helpless there
Upon a desert wild,
Too frightened cen himself to help
A lost and sobbing child.
The surly blasts went snarling by,
Across the barren sand,
While he passion conquered wretch,
Without a guiding hand.
Writhed in the grasp of wild dispair.
And turned his tear stained face
Toward the heights from whence he
fell,
And cried aloud for grace.
Then fierce despair released it's clutch
And skulked into the night,
And DER this dismal land of sin
