son and Fairview, Miss Amanda Glenn
ent of Hudson, who has gained ma
tional fame because of her ability as

different states, and in each instance
gave entire satisfaction both to the
competing players and the fans.

the forthcoming incident and says it's
just "a little vacation"
Some people would be distressed
for months in advance over this ex-
perence that Ed Harter goes through
without being phased for moment
Stomach and Appendix Sliced.
The last time he was in a hospital
DR.. viii Mayo took out portion of
Harters stomach, reconnected his in
ternal arrangements at a new point
and then removed his appendix.
Those scars are scarcely healed
even now, when his tenth surgical et-
perence is about to be had.
THE city clerk expects to be in the
hospital over night. He is so accus-
toned to being cut to pieces that he
really expects to be up the next day
and back home within three days after
the work" is done.
Was Shot in 1892.
Ed Harter is a Norfolk native. Six
teen years ago, on February 30, 1892,
he was accidently shot in the left leg
by friend handling a loaded revolver.
1t was in the old Office of the Nebraska
Telephone company.
And since then he's had operations
almost as regularly as birthdays.
Last spring he was elected city clerk
in Norfolk by the biggest majority
ever given to any candidate for office
in the town.
And he has made one of the very
best city clerks Norfolk ever had.
All Norfolk will regret the necessity
for this tenth operation and will join
in best wishes for his speedy recovery
from it.

Enthusiasm is lubricant that

Enthusiasm, like factory melancholia,
is catching.
Do not gossip, either in or out of

ness, nor complain, If things do not
suit you, to your fellow employees or
the heads Of other departments, but
go directly to the head of your depart
