thing in them saying Speak for it! :" then waited
Tor his dog to take seat his hind feet and bark

he poked his nose between the rails of fence and
looked surly.
Why what dog!' said Harry Wheeler who was

form Now, my Trusty, the minute 1 bring him any

Everybody knows what he says"
This dog used to do So" Harvey said. LOOKING
Grossly at him. g I'm that don't know what's

Just then Miss Lille Barr out to see the fun
She was Harvey's sister She was in time to hear
what he said. know just what's got into him
Harvey Barr she said; " and if L were dog would
do exactly so. He doesn't believe a word you saw
You cheat him all the time You snap your fingers
and say, Speak for it!' and you haven't got thing
for him and knows it. What would he speak for?
If had dog wouldn't cheat him!"
Pshaw!" said Harvey; as if a dog knew when
he cheated!"
Why, of he does. If he doesn't why
wouldn't he mind when you spoke to him? He used
to ask so nicely for things, but now he knows Won

We'll, he ought to mind, whether have ANYTHING

UNCLE RALPH's BROWNIE.


When Rose and Nannette Snow went out to the
Yellowstone Park with their mother, what they really
wanted most to Uncle Ralph.
Uncle Ralph uncle of Mrs. Snow, but he
not much older than she He had expected
make his fortune in the Mines but he had not had
very good luck Still, he had stayed on and on,
working and hoping All the time he had been
writing to Mrs Snow and the children often. He
made pictures the letters and told funny stories.
Many of these stories about his wonderful
collie dog Brownie. The children wanted to
Brownie almost as much to see Uncle Ralph
Every little while Uncle Ralph would send box
of presents to the children. He had
them, but they had sent photographs back and forth
often that they felt they would know each
other when they met.
There was a great time hnding out what train
to take to get to Uncle Ralph's. He lived at Ten
tacle-a tiny mountain village twenty miles up from
a railroad. Traymore the nearest railroad sta
tion to him. But the express trains over another
road, what was called " the Short Cut "a new track,
not yet entirely finished, but still that it could be
used. Axtel the " Short Cut" the most
convenient station for the Shows to come to- 1t was
finally arranged that Uncle Ralph should come down
to AXtel and they would all spend the night there
and have good visit. sfs
AT the last moment Mrs. Snow decided to 90 to
Traymore instead of by the Short Cut " to Axtell
so she teegraphed to Uncle Ralph at Tentacle But
as we know, Uncle Ralph quietly waiting up at
AXtell, and got the telegram at all
Behold the train drawing into Traymore Out
tumble two excited little girls and tFeir excited
mother. The porter follows, carrying their bags.
Set they right down." said Mrs Snow
Yes, Uncle Ralp1 will take them" cried the chill
dren.
But no Uncle Ralph there. Off went the train
and the little group felt lonely enough in the strange
wild country; for there were only a dozen or so
shanties in the whole village of Traymore
As they stood there looking gloomily around Nan
nette's quick eyes spied dog prowling about stage
coach
Look! she erica. There's Browniel"
1t does look like his pictures" admitted Mrs
Snow Let us ask"
They walked over to the stage-coach. The driver
just mounting the box.
Yes, that Mr.. Ralph Kanes Brownie"
But where is Mr.. ?" asked Mrs Snow
The dog pricked up his ears
Browniel said IL e stage-driver sternly go
over there and lie down under the shed-cIear over
clear over, say! There-now stay there"
You see" he explained to Mrs. Snow in low
voice, Mr.. Kane told not to say before Brownie
where he was. He's gone to Axtell to meet some
friends; but, if Brownie knew it, he'd be in AxtelI
too as quick he could get there"
Oh, Mr. Kane has gone to meet u.s." cried Mrs.
Snow, explaining in her turn to the stagedrver.
He could not have received our telegram"
Probably not" assented the driver. kilograms
mighty uncertain around here"
But can't stay long" cried Mrs. Snow, and
we wouldn't miss seeing Mr.. Kane for the world.
What shall do?"

Christmas Exercises at Nebraska.

The Christmas exercises in the Ne
braska NJ. L. church were held on Mon
day evening, Dec. 25th. As usual, the
church was crowded to the doors. The
exercises were under the direction of
Judge Frank Y. Kretler, assisted by the
committee on program, Misses Emma
Thompson, Anna Blauser, Pearl Elliott,
and Mr.. Roy Timlin. The children were
carefully trained and the entire program
was rendered without mistake. A large
tree which was well loaded with presents
and lighted with candles placed in COL
ored lanterns, gave most pleasing ap-
pearance. After the presents had been
distributed the congregation passed out
of the door to the lecture room and each
received box of candy presented by
Messrs. Collins Il Kreitler. Nebraska is
one of the ideal lumber towns of Forest
county, and the people have every reason
to be proud of the sober and thoughtful
audience which assemblies there on holi-
day occasions.

presence of about fifty guests, princi-
pally relatives of the families.
The parlor where the ceremony took
place was tasteiully decorated, the color
scheme being green and white. At the
appointed hour, to the strains of the we'd
ding march from Lobengrin, played by
Miss Grace Gerould, the bridal party en-
tered the room from the stairway, pre-
ceded by the ushers, Messrs. Gerald,
Hartley, and Everett Ballentine and P.
A. Rainey, brothers and cousin of the
bride. The ushers carried white ribbon
forming an aisle through which came the
groom with his brother, Mr.. II. T..
Klinestiver, the best man; Master Elwood
Phrang, the little page, who was dressed
in white and carried the ring in a white
rose; the bride with her sister, Miss Car
rie Ballentine, the bridesmaid. Taking
their places before large bank of eyer
green and facing the assembly, the cere-
mony was performed, beautiful and
impressive ring service being used. The
bride was attired in a gown of crepe de
chine oyer white taffeta, trimmed with
allover lace and chiffon ruching, and she
carried large bouquet of brides roses.
The bridesmaids gown was of white or
ganzine with yoke ofallover lace, trimmed
with Valenciennes lace and insertion, and
she carried bouquet of pink carnations.
After hearty congratulations had been
extended sumptuous wedding dinner
of three courses was served. The brides
table in the dining room presented
beautiful appearance, the color scheme of
the decorations being white, pink and
green. Each guest received as souvenir
a dainty box of wedding cake tied with
white ribbon and bearing the initials
"B. X"
The bride was the recipient of many
handsome gifts in silver, cut glass, china,
etc., evidencing the love and esteem of
her friends.
The happy couple left shortly after the
ceremony for wedding trip of about a
mouth, taking in Washington, d. c., and
Florida, and will be at home to their
friends at Nebraska after April 1st. In

tend to these popular young people our
best wishes for long, prosperous and
happy journey through life.

There is probably not a man of the oil
country more widely known by reputa-
tion and possibly none less understood
than he. He has figured in the most ro-
mantle tales otreckless prodigality, based
upon comparatively light foundation, and
all the denials made by himself and
friends, and oil country writers familiar
with the real facts, have had little effect
in getting a hearing for him with the
general public, He is Ga years of age at
the present time and this fact, coupled
with the severe nature of his present
attack, makes his friends fear that. he
cannot recover.-Oil City Derrick.
Capt. Clark received Christmas
present in the form of check from Uncle
Sam which he esteems very highly, not
alone tor its intrinsic value, but because
of what it stands for. In the early period
of the civil war, when President Lincoln
called out the "three-months men," the
Captain was first sergeant of a company
of the state militia, and was among the
first to offer his services. His company
was afterward mustered into the regular
service on three-years enlistment, and
the Captain was successfully promoted
from sergeant to second and first lieuten-
ant and finally to the captaincy of his
company. In the interim between these
promotions there remained some pay due
him, and upon his ability TO prove his
claim the government has issued to him
a voucher for $lO3,23. Uncle Sam deals
squarely with his people and they gener-
ally get what's coming to them. The
Captains voucher came to him through
the mail on Christmas morning.

The August Apportlonment.

The August apportionment for PEN
pima county this year is s544O.S2. The
August apportionment for this county
in 1905 was s2679.sl, an increase this
year of s2761.0l.
This comparison is of considerable in
terest as it gives an indication of what
the county can expect from the opera
ton OF the new census law.
The writer has believed that this law
would benefit the older counties with
Well-established schools at the EXPENSE
OF the newer sections of the state. such
seems to be the case, while a part of
the increased apportionment is proba-
bly, due to the natural increase of the
state fund, undoubtedly large percent
age OF the increase is due to the fact
that the attendance in this county has
been better than the average for the
state.
school officers should arrange for
terms OF not less than eight months of
school and then use every effort to in
duce or compel the children to attend.
Ii the other appointments for this
year show as large an increase as the
present apportionment shows, the per
capita apportionment of state and coun-
ty tuition funds will approximate $1,000
Without considering the benefit that
the children will receive themselves. the
district will be amply repaid financially
Tor all efforts made towards better at
tendance.
