Twenty Years

Twenty years ago the 2lst of
this month, G. Glitsch IN his
strong young manhood took his
wife, then a pretty blushing
maid, 10 his heart and home for
better or for worse.
The years one by one have
glided by, each adding to the
happiness of the one Just flown,
until Friday, the most perfect
the most lovely and satisfactory
anniversary of them all rolled
around and passed by, but not
without being remembered by
their new friends found in Mis-
sou-i.
Six of the neighbor families
went to the Glitsch home and
The made merry, merry with
the couple that was so firmly
bound by the tender heart cords
of love, and there they were
welcomed.
The evening was pleasantly
spent as only Indian Creek peo-
pie know how to spend them in
social course and tell it easy, in
destroying a glorious supper
prepared by the bride of twen-
ty seasons.
Numerous presents were Civ
en- the pair that was happy, If
possible, more happy than they
were twenty years ago.

Electric Lights

The Electric Light Plant will
be put up d tree this winter.
Its business has increased until
its capacity has just about
reached the limited. When the
weather turns bad, lights in
business houses, residences and
streets all turned on at once the
entire plant will be taxed to its
full strength and then some.
1t may be ducedly inconven-
lent and all that, but the pow
ers that be, may just as we'll
look the coming incapaclty in
the face and prepare for it be-
fore a deficit in lights occur.

Bad Error

The pump at the mineral we'll

water in sufficient quantity.
The engine is working satisfac-
torily. II larger cylinder is
attached TO the pump it would
better supply the tank with
water for sprinkling purposes.

going is misleading In the
first place the writer does not
know or ignores the fact that
the tank holds only 100 barrels,
5000 gallons and that the
pump and engine, just as it is,
will lift into the tank 3 gallons
per minute, or 7,20O gallons
each twenty hours.
The howl first went up in
August, the engine won't work,

the trouble was, the cylinder
was worh out and new one
would make things O. K. The
new one was put in and it gives
a capacity of double that of the
tank, which at this writing,

tanned two (2) feet Of water.
Why? Because what is every
ones business, is no ones bust.

does not run two out of each

The pump was never intended
to lift water to the surface an d
then lift against itself an addi-
tional 40 feet to a tank.

The stars iuuRed down on the
sleeping waves,
And the soft south olud blew
tree;
The road wound white through
the quiet hills,
Where the dead man walked
with me,
His dead voice still ia nay ears
rang sweet,
And l saw his dead eyes
smile;
So smiled they once on morn
in May,
When the world aas young
for a while.
o, dead man, out Of the buried
past,
What are you seeking here?
Go back to the woman you
loved at the last,
It's long since you held me
dear.
| fain would walk where the
living go,
Aud join in the dance and
play;
Must I keep tryst with the
faithless dead
For the sake of a morn in
May?
But 1 heard the sigh of the soft,
soft wind,
The moan of the murmuring
sea;
And close at my side those
smiling eyes,
AS tile dead man walked with
me.
