Does Not Like Nebraska Land,

Max Blachnik. who had been in
the state of Nebraska for the past
month. returned from his trip las,
week. He had been their as many
others. for the purpose Of filing
on $40 acres Of land. but upon stu
dying the soil and climatic condi-
tons Of that western strip of land
he came to the CONCLUSION that he
would not file. He came 10 our
office and in an interview made
the following statement.
IL have been in Valentine Cher
ry Co. and travelled on loot some
20 miles in every direction Of that
town. and found nothing in the
soil that would promise any re-
suits, IL it should be cultivated.
A person sees nothing but fine
sand wherever his eyes may rest,
here and there a miniature oasis
OF bunch-grass, which. was told
10 refused by cattle, thus making
it complety good for-nothIng.
As far a; the low lands are con
eerned. in these crops can be
rails, d prov d nc that while ye,
small no strong winds prevail and
blow the sands off the hills onto
the fields below and drift them.
In this case OF course a farmer in
those regions would be specula,.
ing every season. II is true, as ]
was told by some people before !
personally looked over that coun
try. that ranchmen and farmers
raise corn, potatoes and other We
getation. but to my estimation
they raise JUS, enough for their
own use, sometimes not even tina,
and that in such case, as | have
said before. il the wind does no,
blow the sand on the field.
do not mean TO run down that
country. as ! derive no benefit by
praising or slandering It. But. as
OF late their has been a consider.
able rush by people OF limited
means, ! in my candid opinion, do
not recommend that part OF the
country which ! have seen for set.
Element. A person must bu,
coal all year around. there being
no wood; must buy seed for grain
which would cost him more than
his crops would amount TO. True
enough they have good soft water
there as can be found in any san
dy country. but that water alone
will not make a living for an,
. one"
would advise every one con
,emPlating TO file. to Go there anc
stay there there about a month
and to watch and ask abont thing,
and ] assure him that he will no
do So"

most Out Of Trap.

Stephen Allard was born in New
Durham, n. H., in 1870, and died in
1870. He was unique and some.
what eccentric character, and was
known throughout the Pequawke
country as Steve the Bear Hunter"
Many anecdotes are still related of
him. The following is we'll authen
ticated one:
He had set bear trap in a plot
OF corn about quarter of mile
from his residence. His brother
David was guest at his house
Stephen went early in the morning
to see If any bears had been among
the corn during the night, not ex.
pecting one to get into the trap the
first night. AS he arrived at the
corn he heard the rattle of the trap
and found "A bear caught by the toes
Of one forward foot One glance
convinced him that the hold of the
trap was weakening. He seized the
chain when Bruin instantly rose on
his hind legs and made for him.
Without hesitation, he closed I'm
with the bear and, being a powerful
man, succeeded in soon getting the
mastery, and called to David to come
quickly and bring an AK with him
After considerable delay. and when

hausted, David arrived with the AK
stephen berated him, in language not
fit to print. for his hardness, and in
explanation David said that, breakfast
being ready, and not thinking there
was any necessity for hurrying, he
stopped and ate his breakfast
stephen said Dave, hold this ere
bar, and let me kill him"
David was 10th to do so, but to APP
pease Stephens wrath, finally did as
requested. When Stephen saw David
had a firm hold on the bear, he threw
the ak out of David's reach and said:
Now, Dave, hold fast that varmint
while | go to the house and get my
breakfast"
Stephen went and got his meal and
then returned and killed the bear.

ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting

The late Edward Atkinson used to

A number OF boys who used to play
ball on the Boston common, which
was then against the law. At regular
intervals old Erastus Cla2p. the con
stable, would bear down upon the tres.
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
rather choleric old manifestations
Clapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr. Atkinson had
grown up into a prosperous and re
spected business man, while passing
along a Boston street in company with
a friend, he recognized in bent and
wizened old man the likeness Of his
old acquaintance, Constable Clapp
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow
Don't you remember me, Mr..
Clapp?" he asked.
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr. Atkinson coldly.

ed to hobble on
"Why, I'm Eddie Atkinson, whom
you used to chase off the common
years ago"
Clapp glared at him suspiciously
and finally put an end to the inter
view, much to the amusement of Mr.
Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply:

cause to run from me-"
