"A DRUMMER's DREAM"
AS Related BY Himself AT Least
That's What They Say

AS Related BY Himself AT Least
That's What They Say.
One night drummer dreamed dream
And dreaming, dreamed he died,
And straightway to the Pearly Gate,
His Sustained spirit hied.
And there before the saints he stood
With downcast head and low.
my records pretty rank" he said,
81 guest I'm bound below;
I've smoked a lot and drank lot,
Confess it all, I must
And flirted, too, and then besides,
Great Heaven, how I've cussed"
The good st. Peter looked at him
With kindly smiling eyes,
But shook his head, Don't ask" said
He, mansion in the Skies"
But let me ask some questions, sir.
Are you travelling MANI"
The siner bowed, and in this strain
The aged saint began:
You've gotten up at four a. m.
And chased the train mile
Amid the trains crews gibes and jeers
Astounding all the while.
And then you found as usual,
The time cards played it's trick,
You've chased the wrong train once
again
And yours goes out at six.
You've taken some gay merchant out
And spent ten or more,
And then he calmly says he's bought
His goods the day before.
You've spent your life at bad hotels,
And eaten still worse meals,
With oleo' and waiter girls
All run down at the heels.
You've had your letters sent astray,
Your trunks have wandered, too,
With porters, clerks and baggagemen
You're in constant stew.
And once a month you see your wife
Now tell me, is it so?"
1T is" replied the drummer,
AS he took his hat to go.
"Ah WELL" said good st. Peter
AS he opened the portal wide,
I'm very glad to meet you, sir,
Just kindly step inside.
Well try and make you happy here,
Well do the best we can.
You've served your time In Hades,
For you've been travelling man."

BRYAN WON'T SAY A WORD.
Nebraskan Positively Declines to Dis
cuss Johnson's Interview,


Lincoln, Neb, Jan. civilian ].
Bryan spent several hours at home in
Lincoln yesterday and then hurried
on east to attend a series of Jackson
ian banquets. He politely turned down
all interviewers who sought to induce
him to comment upon the recent state
ment of Governor Johnson in the New
York World
He declared that he did not care to
be intervied on the subject, that he
had discussed the various issues thru
the Commoner and would continue to
do so, but he did not care to discuss
any one else's opinion or position.
Further than this the lips of the dis
tinguished Nebraskan were sealed.
A friend who came to Lincoln with
Bryan from his recent southern speak
ing and hunting trip, said today that
Bryan had been bombarded for several
days with kilograms from the New
York World urging him to comment
upon the Johnson interview, and that
all of the kilograms had gone unan-
swered.
1t is not at all hard for the friends
and associates of the Nebraska gentle
man to guess that he will pursue his
own pleasure in either responding to
any request from the World or in ap-
proving any political suggestions from
that source.
Wednesday Bryan is to break bread
with the Jefferson club in Chicago. and
the following night he is to banquet
with the Jacksonian democrats in Dan.

ASK FOR A GRAND JURY
CITIZENS OF M'LEAN, PIERCE CO.,
WANT INVESTIGATION.
MANY CRIMES ARE ENUMERATED

There Are a Number Of Matters In
Pierce County Considered Worthy
Of Grand Jury investigation by Peo-
Pile Of That County.
Fifty-three citizens residing near
Mclean in Pierce county have petit
toned District Judge A. A. Welch to
call grand jury in connection with
the next term of the Pierce district
court which convenes March 16.
In the petition there are enumerated
some ten or more crimes that have
been committed in the vicinity of Nc.
Lean within the last two years. Stock.
stealing is the offense enumerated Of
tenest.
Among the crimes listed is the slug
ging and robbing Of Alonzo Snyder on
December ID. Snyder Is farmer liv-
ing near Mclean and the assault on
him served to arouse the people of
the northeastern part Of the county.
Snyder's assailant is being prosecuted
by County Attorney ]. A. Van Wag-
amen.
Some citizens of that section allege
the existence of a bold gang Of thieves
who have been working in Pierce coun-
ty and against whom they are calling
the terrors of the grand jury.
1t is said that mass meetings have
been held and that feeling is very in
tense around Mclean.
The grand jury may be called. The
grand jury is of course expensive
On this score the opinion of the Pierce
county commissioners will probably be
obtained.
