A man who was too economical
to subscribe for his home paper
sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor. In
his haste the boy ran over a 81
stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance
and, failing to notice a barb wire
fence, ran into it, cutting a hand
full of flesh from his anatomy
and running a IS pair of pants.
The old COW took advantage of
the gap in the fence and, got into
the cOrntield and killed herself
eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the, wife ran, upsetting a
four-gallon churn of rich cream
into a basket of chickens, drown
ing the whole flock. In her
hurry she dropped a $52 set of
false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled
cream and into the parlor, ruin
ing a 500 carpet. During the
excitement the oldest daughter
ran away with the hired man, the
dog broke up eleven sitting hens
and the calves got loose and
chewed the tails off four fine
shirts. Elk.

Hope, the metropolis of Steele
county, was laid out as a village
in February 1882, and is the old
est town in the county. From the
beginning it has been up-to-date
and progressive and it's citizens
have always been liberal and
public spirited. The town has
grown from a frontier hamlet to
a thriving little city built up with
substantial business blocks and
beautiful dwellings equal to east
ern cities of many times it's age.
Besides it's many business estab-
