If you want a mans brain to cut
fantastic capers before high heav-
en-, in the Silly hours of the night,
when sweet Sleep plays the role of
Tantalus, invest him with a strong,
rollicking dose of Grip. There are
more diversities possible to it than
was ever dreamed of in all the
PHILOSOPHERS the world has known
since chaos gave way to order.
IT'S indeed pleasant to be awak-
ened by ghostly phantasmagoria
at the gruesome hour of 2 A. M,
ere the cocks give the retiring
signal to wandering, restless
spirits, and lie half awake trying
to marshal into rank the rebellant
forces of the mind diseased. 1t is
pleasant, is all this, but somehow
no sense of gratitude grows from
it, and the subject longs for roseate
morn to put to flight the creations
of the night, and, through nause-
GUS drug or osteopathic rub, seeks
return to the dead blank of I'M
fevered sleep.
1t is a pleasant thing for We
south bound drummer to stand in
and around the station these bleak
and chilly evenings awaiting the
arrival of Nc. 1, and then, when it
does come, to haye it thunder by
like a shot out of a gun. A more
idiotic and a more ''public- be-
regulation than that that
governs this train was never put in
a schedule It doesn't stop unless
it has st. Louis passengers bound
for this place, and no one here can
know whether such is the ase I'M
til the train pulls in-or passes by.
Three days out of four, it does
have such passengers, but the de-
lightful uncertainty that attaches
to it every day is a thing to be adj
mired because it is a continual re-
minder to us of the greatness of
the railway company and of the
.littleness of it's patrons. I say it
is admirable, Notwithstanding to
the inconsiderate it may seem flip
pant and fanciful. But perhaps it
is reasonable to discuss it!
The Thomson "Valley Home"
had a narrow escape from de-
struction last Friday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomson came down
that day, and the man in charge
had started fires in the several
lower rooms of the house, in an
ticipation of their coming. After
time he thought he detected the
smell of smoke, and a little later
it's presence became visible to the
eye. He looked hastily through
the lower apartments and then ran
upstairs. Here he found the
mating covering the floor had
caught from the stovepipe and was
beginning to blaze. Snatching a
coverlet from a bed, he smothered
the lame, and with a bucket of
water, he then procured, extingu-
ished the fire. 1t was a close call.
The destruction of this fine prop
erty would have been a calamity,
not only to it's owner, but to the
citizens of the Valley, who greet
every spring with pleasure the re-
turn of the Thomsons to their
"Valley Home"
