little care an patience and using some
benzine, a clean white rag, a sable
brush and some OIL clock can be
cleaned and put in first class running
order. The benzine should be clean
and free from oil. You can test
benzine by putting little on the
back OF the hand. II IL is good, II

clean, but n any grease remains on

The oil should be OF the very best

4 All loose dirt should be removed
from the works by blowing with bell
lows OF fan or dusting with a dry
brush In the latter case great care
should be exercised not TO injure any

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1908-04-09
Only a Family Episode.

Last summer a broken BOW
home ON the north side-was
troubled with a couple of rats
who we're doing light house-keep-
ing in the cellar. Rats in the
garnet are bad, but rats in the
cellar are worse. Rats, as is well
known, are fond of anything in
the eating line. They make
short work of the cake for COM
pany or the Sunday pie and don't
stop at ham, eggs or other edi-
bles that are placed in the cellar.
They skim pan OF milk quicker
than a silver spoon can do it and
take cheese with pie-just the
same as upstairs people. These
rats lived high for several weeks
and leaf had to be taken out of
the extension table as the little
food they left for the upstairs
dinner looked lonesome on it.
Something had to be done and
an advertisement in a magazine
told how to do it. A certain
wise man had so constructed a
rat reducing poison whereby the
rat was killed and ground to
ashes by the ingredients. 1t ad-
ded relish to his food and after
eating it, all the rat had to do
was to lie down and die. 1t
might crawl behind brick, but
that didn't matter because the
stuff turned around and ate up

Disastrous Prairie Fire.

Last Sunday afternoon prairie
fire was started, north of Candy,
by some children who were allow
ed to carry matches. The fire
burned northward to the Dismal
river, at Dunning, cleaning al
most everything in its path,
many hundred head of cattle
perishing.
The fire burned east and south
toward Auselmo from the river
almost as fiercely as it had spread
desolatiop on its northward
course, but change in the direc-
tion of the wind retarded It's pro-
gress and it burned out in the
northwest part of this county.
A letter from Carl Foote, re-
siding near Dunning, says he has
nothing left but the house and
barn, and to save them he was
compelled to fight desperately.
He expresses himself as thankful,
however, as most of the settlers
did not save their buildings.
Armstead Richardson, a color
ed gentleman, who was on his
claim near Dunning, was in Bro.
ken Bow last night and said that
he lost everything except the
clothing he wore and a span of
horses which aided him to escape
with his life. According to his
statement everything was laid
waste by the fire covering an
area of more than rs miles
square.

The rural town is fast becom.
ing city in its general appoint
ments, Accommodations manners
and style, in the means of dis
seminating the latest ideas and
conveniences among the sur
rounding farms. BY means of
Investment and improvement the
country is getting nearer and
nearer to the city, nearer to the
many advantages and comforts
which human ingenuity is de-
vising. The present is an era of
luxurious living, and every rural
home has, or can have, the in
vastiture of a palace of former
years. Even the isolated farmer
or ranch house now has its tele-
phonic connections, it's mechanic
ally rendered music, its rich fur
nishings, books, pictures and
other evidences of culture and re-
finement, and that sturdy indie
pendence which is the harbinger
of contentment.

short time till 81 pork is here.
What is to prevent it, as there
are no hogs? Farmers were COM
PEELED to get rid of their hogs as
they had no corn and could not
buy any as there were none for
sale here. We shall see one of
the greatest hog scarcities the
country has seen for many years
and very high price as a result.
We have been experiencing
some changable weather the past
