Christmas Greeting to the Public

Viii AobAAsAo vi SSNuNS ~ SuS ! uOIAS
Ring the bells, ring the bells, Christ
mas is coming,
Christmas is coming and happy
are we:
Bring in the old folks rs we'll as the
young ones,
To gather and sing round the
Christmas tree.
"But how can we sing without music?
cried Mary.
Sand how lonely ] feel, having moth
ing to play;
But why should we fret, whilo Geo
Gets is with us?
Just notice the bargains he otfels
today.
Pianos and organs OF Lost make and
finish,
He sells to the public, at less than
halt price;
And think Of the terms he offers for
payments;
All, don't you think, mamma, he's
awfully nice!
Just think of the bargains he has to
select from,
OF all the late instruments known
to the trade.
Why, we must buy one, mamma, to-
day or tomorrow:
If not we'll regret our mistake. I'm
afraid.
His salesrooms are filled with choice
holiday presents,
And nowhere is found a stock so
complete.
Well go down and see him, l know
we'll be welcome,
And that in itself is q Christmas
treat.
So lot uf got ready, Ill wear my new
hat,
And you, mamma dear, must wear
your new gown:
Then Christmas for US will be one OF
rejoicing,
That nevs: could be were not George
Gets in town.
Fischer, Mason & Hamline, Webber
and Kimbsll are known the
world over,
For tone, style and finish. no equals
have they;
Though the thirty or more other
makes that he handles
Are sold in large numbers, day a.
ter day.
Mr.. Gets and his clerks are all jolly
good fellows;
Whom nature has favored with most
winning ways,
And being musicians OF note, they
can serve you,
In way you'll acknowledge, that's
worthy Of praise.

Sherwood a Good Town.

The Independent scribe, some
time ago had occasion to visit
that little bustling, busy city of
Sherwood. Among a great many
other things of which Ward coun-
ty may justly be proud, the small
est is, by no means her many
young but healthy and prosper
GUS little towns which spring up
on our every side asi if by magic.
A characteristic evident in every
one of these new towns, is the
wideawake and energetic nature
Of their citizens. They are just
the kind that will persist and
will ultimately succeed, not only
in gaining their own indepen-
dence but in building substantial
and attractive com nunitie>, the
kind that homeseekers are look
ing for.
Among a number Of Sherwood's
genial business men whose &C.
quaintance we had the pleasure
to make may be mentioned
Stephens, Schlosser & Johnson.
They sell farm machinery,
threshing machines, wagons bug
gies, etc. To illustrate the ever
open chances for business in our
unparalleled western country, we
might mention that these boys
set up and sold two binders dur
ing the last week in September
this fall. They are all three
owners of valuable farms and it
would seem to be the ideal COM
bination. Farming and dealing
in farm machinery.
OTTERSON BROS.
Who operate the only real tin
shop in Sherwood and in addition
they repair stoves, guns, bycy-
cles or most anything else that
comes along. They are also the
inventors of q very superior BIZ
cycle cement which they guaran-
tee to stick as we'll as the best
book agent out. They only start
ed the business last summer but
have already more than they can
do and besides q house full of
gooes to sell in the way Of stoves,
tinware, bicycles, etc.
WILLIAM BOWERS.
Has one of the most up-to-date
blacksmith shops of that part of
the country, equipped with gaso-
line engine, trip hammer, power
drills, etc. He keeps busy every
day in the year and we predict
that next season he will have to
increase his force considerably to
keep up with his work.

her limbs The boom was pushed
around so that she kept always over
the back of the horse, and by an effort
she recovered her balance, aided some
what by the slackening Of the rope at
the end of the mechanic"
Twice around the ring and her am.
bition to be rider died within her.
She scrambled from the horses back,
trying to choke back the tears Of hui
initiation.
Wells was all sympathy. Perhaps
you might be better as an acrobat" he
suggested kindly. You'd make good
enough rider if you kept at it. Dolly,
here, was worse than you when she
started in Want to try it againT
II think I'd rather be an acrobat"
she almost whispered, trying to choke
back the sobs. Acrobats were not left
dangling over horse, and they had
soft mat to fall upon.
The clown led the horse from the
ring, and two men unroled a felt pad
upon the sawdust. Even without the
blue tights she recognized them as the
acrobats, and she watched them curl
ously as they fastened a rope about the
belt.
"Now, when we say 'Nowv" cautioned
one, you throw yourself forward just
as though you were going to dive into
water"
She braced herself for the command.
1t seemed ages in coming, but at last
she heard the cry and gave jump
forward. She felt the rope around her
waist tighten; she realized that she was
spinning in the air, and then she land
ed on hands and knees on the pad She
had only turned twice, but it seemed
as if she had been revolving in space
for an hour
For moment she lay there, sobbing,
until the kindly faced woman took her
to the dressing tent.
Its harder work than you thought
isn't it," she asked kindly. "We all
have to go through with that l thought
they were going to kill me before l
learned to ride"
Wells seemed disappointed, but not
surprised, when he learned that she
had abandoned a circus career, but he
was very nice about it, and she crept
out of the tent Inundated and asham-
ed.
Three months later Jackson Peters
was saying goodby to Mrs. Burrows
before taking his bride to her new
home.
BE good husband to her, Jack"
said the lady, "and if you want to hold
her love never let her find out that l
used to ride for Wells and that we had
it fixed up for her"
And Jackson being wise, never told.

It's a mighty curious thing, but a lot
of men who have no claim on you and
who wouldn't think of asking for
money will panhandle both sides Of a
street for favorS that mean more than
money. Of course it's the easy thing
and the pleasant thing not to refuse,
and, after all, most men think it
doesn't cost anything but few strokes
of the pen, and so they will give fell
low that they wouldn't ordinarily play
on their friends as a practical joke a
nice sloppy letter Of introduction to
them or hand out to a man that they
wouldn't, give, away as BOBBY prize
a letter of recommendation in, which
they crack him up as, having all the
qualities necessary for an Al Sunday
school superintendent and bank presi'
dent.
Now that you are boss you will
find that every other man who comes
to your desk is going to ask you for
something; in fact, the difference be-
tween being a sub and boss is large
~ matter of asking for things and
of being asked for things. But it's
Just as one of those poets said-you
can't afford to burn down the glue
factory to stimulate the demand for
glue stock, or words to that effect.
OF course l don't mean by this that
I want you to be one of those fellows
who swell out like ready made shirt
and brag that they never borrow and
never lend" They always think that
this shows that they are sound, con-
sentative business men, but as mat
ter Of fact it simply stamps them as
mighty mean little cusses. It's very
superior, | know, to say that you new
er borrow, but most men have to at
one time or another, and then they
find that the never borrownever-len
platform is a mighty inconvenient one
to be standing on. Be just in business
and generous out of it. A fellows
generosity needs heap of exercise to
keep it In good condition, and the
hand that writes out checks gets
cramped easier than the hand that
takes them in. You want to keep
them both timber.
While l don't believe in giving with
a string tied to every dollar or doing
up a gift in so many conditions that
the present is lost in the wrappings,
it's a good idea not to let most people
feel that money can be had for the
asking. If you do, they're apt to go
into the asking business for living,
But these millionaires who give away
a hundred thousand or so with the un-
Outstanding that the other fellow will
raise another hundred thousand or SO
always remind me of lot of boys
coaxing a dog into their yard with a
hunk of meat so that they can tie a
| tin can to his tail.
