MY NEIGHBOR.
JnO. p. Sjolander.

He an that bird they call the lark
Must be birds OF feather.
For he just sings from dawn till dark
In all blamed sorts o weather;
The cold don't seem to make him
sneeze.
The blizzard winds don't pelt him,
And he just laughs sweet as you
please,
When hot days try to melt him.
His children-dang EN-, amt they
CUTE
Are gay as any posies;
His wife, envy the galoot,-
Is brighter than the rose is;
An when she speaks he never grunt is,
But comes and goes a-dindlin';
Why he can sing-sing doing stunts,
A-splittin' wood an kindlin'!
know he has more friends than me.
Stored up like bees save honey,
But have more, much more, than he =.
OF wealth in lands an money;
Oh, shucks! I'll quit this senseless
thing
For men must strive an labor;
Still, darn it all! Why can't | sing?
wish were my neighbor!

How One Editor Wrote up
His Own Wedding.

It's a unique experience to
write up your own wedding
It's like writing up your own
funeral-only different. The
writer has been in the business
OF writing up weddings for a
long time and still has hopes of
Heaven, though the Good Book
says something to the effect
that liars shall not enter there
10. The newspaper is not ex-
pected to tell the truth about
weddings, but we are going to
come little nearer telling the
truth about this one than we
ever did before.
The wedding took place Just
before dinner on Christmas Eve,
Rev. j. K. Pooh officiating, and
the editor and Miss Agnes Zuch
playing the star role. No one
"stood up" with us as we are
both plenty old to stand alone.

Europe Not Dependent Up
on Us For Meats.

The trend Of public sentiment
with the West against the tax
placed on farm products by our
heavy American tariffs, is crys-
talizing in so-called reciprocity

livered by Hon. W. A HARRIS,
on Dec. -, before an Iowa au
dience, is directed at the tariffs
restrictions on our export meat
trade. We print one of his
characteristic paragraphs for
Farm and Ranch readers who
have thought for some years
that the tariff was dead issue:
Now, one idea that has been
10 the minds OF a great many of
our public men for great many
years, is that they have got to
buy their meat and bread Of US,
and you cannot starve nation

world has moved on. Today

DR.. Foxworthy Sells Out.

DIR. O. W. Foxworthy who has been
engaged in the general practice of
medicine in this city for several years,
has disposed of his Office fixtures and
practice to DR.. Willard G. Jefries, of
Davis City, who has taken possession
and will with his wife become residents
of this city as soon as a suitable resi-
dence can be secured. He is young
man of splendid qualities, we'll qualified
to practice, having graduated with high
honors from the Northwestern College,
in Chicago, in the full four year course,
and has had much valuable hospital
practice. DR.. Foxworthy will assist
him in the office and practice for time
until he becomes acquainted. DR.. Fox
worthy had built up a very large and
lucrative practice, and we are pleased to
learn that he does not contemplate
leaving Leon. He will not engage in
general practice but can be secured for
consultation at any time. He expects
to take years well earned rest.

Created Quite a Sensation,

Last FRIDAY forenoon DR.. O. w. Fox
worthy made his regular weekly visit
to the county farm and had invited Rev.
d. f. Sellards to accompany him. When
near the Meek pasture short distance
this side of the county farm, they OBJ
served man acting very peculiar, who
pointed gun at them twice, but did
shoot. Driving on to the county farm
DR.. Foxworthy called sheriff Wallace up
over the phone and reported the case,
and said he thought the sheriff should
secure posse and come out and cap
ture the fellow before he harmed some
one. Sheriff Wallace, constable Grant
John, G. M. Axes and George Myers
drove out at full speed, and by this time
the report was circulated on the streets
that crazy man was shooting at every
one he met, including several women
and children, and excitement ran high.
When the sheriff reached the scene he
found a fourteen year old boy named
Rex Adams who lived near there quiet
ly hunting rabbits, being armed with
shot gun. The boy at first denied he
had pointed gun at the gentlemen but
afterwards admitted he might have
done so, but had no intention of shoot
ing at any one. When confronted by
the boy DR.. Foxworthy could not say
positively whether he was the right
party or not, as he was about hundred
yards away, but thought the fellow with
the gun was larger man, but as no one
else was seen by any one else, it must
have been the Adams boy. Under the
circumstances there were no arrests
and the sheriff and posse returned
home without using the battery of fire
arms which they took with them to
capture crazy man, dead or alive,

Lamont and Leon Businessmen
Play Ball.

There was hot old game of base ball
at Warmers park in this city last Thurs
day afternoon, when nine composed
OF businessmen Of Lamont, came up to
try conclusions on the diamond, against
the businessmen of Leon. All of the
Leon business houses were closed dur
ing the game, which was witnessed by
large crowd and they certainly had
their moneys worth, for it was a regu-
lar circus. The Lamont nine were uni
formed in flowery bloomers, while the
Leon team dressed as hay seeds in
overalls, looked pretty tough. 'Tiny"
Stempel was the star, with his high
water pants, and "Monk" Tullis' red
vest, but he played ball like Lacquer,
earning two scores in the first inning
he appeared, against the protest of La
moni, who claimed it wasn't fair to play
man whose legs were SO long he only
had to step three times in running from
one base to another. Charlie Axes was
the source of great trouble to the La
moni pitchers, for when he stood in the
batters box his waist line completely
covered the home plate, and the pitcher
could not put a ball over the plate
without hitting Charlie in the bread
basket and it was easy for him to get
his base by being hit. Everybody
played everywhere, and some of them
were so fleshy they could only play an
inning at a time, and then had to lay off
an inning, and would then go back into
the game. Leon proved to much for
the visitors, winning the game by the
small score of 81 to 1S, but the Lamont
fellows took their defeat in good humor,
and challenged Leon for a return game
to be played on the hottest day in this
month at Lamont. The Lamont visitors
were certainly bunch Of good fellows,
and they were shown a royal good time
while in our city.
