The Missouri Pacific is leasing its

The Missouri Pacific is leasing its
right of way to farmers along the track
near Mankoto at 20 cents an acre, to
be farmed to within go feet of the ends
of the ties. No crop except hay crop
of some sort is to be allowed on the
right of way. The rate of 20 cents an
acre indicates that the Goulds are not
trying to increase their income, but
have adopted this plan to keep the
right of way clean of weeds.

THE OLD MAN.

Bow low the head and do rev
erence to the old man, once like
you vicisitudes OF life have sill
vered his hair and changed the
round, merry face to the worn
yisage before you. Once the
heart beat with aspiration, uow
crushed with disappointment, as
yours perhaps, is destined to be.
Once that.form stalked proudly
through the gay scenes of pleas
ure, the beau ideal of grace, now
the hand of time that withers the
flowers of yesterday, has bent the
figure and destroyed that noble
carriage. Once at your age, he
possessed the thousand thoughts
that pass through your braln,
wishing to accomplish deeds
equal to nook in the hall of
fame;anon imagining life dream
that the sooner he awoke from
the dream the better. But he
has lived the Cream very near
through; the time to waken is
very near at hand, his eye ever
kindles at old beeds of daring,
and the hand takes a tirmergrisp
of the staff. Bow low the head,
boy, as you would in your old age
be reverenced.

The Printer Man.

A printer is a "quoer duck"
He does not go to the marshal
when he locks up his form. He
goes to press without the girl.
He makes his own furniture. The
banker has no use for his quoins
and the lawyers could not take
his cases into court. He has steel
rules and rusty sticks and a pi
makes devil swear. The doctor
cannot help him when he gets out
of sorts. His shooting stick would
not harm an irate subscriber.
His single wrapper would not at
tract attention at the front door
and his files acquire value with
age. His galleys will not float
and his rollers are made of molas-
ses. The dead matter in his of
flee never smells bad. He minds
his p's and q's better than any
one else.-Inland Printer.

We are Not Boasting

We are not given to boasting
but we are proud of the farmer
boys of this vicinity. They are,
with rare exceptions a healthy,
intelligent and happy class of
young men. We feel like taking
our hat clear off when we meet
them upon our streets, and no
class is more welcomed to our Of
fee. Too many boys leave the
farm where they would have
made substantial and good citi-
zens, and go to the city where
only one in a thousand succeed in
life's battle. There are farmers
who fairly drive their boys away.
There is no excuse for this, The
farmer hoy is entitled to his va
cation, to several relaxations, his
visits to the city, good books,
magazines and his home paper.
To the observing one it is plain
to be seen that the old farm is the
best place in the world for the
average young man and never
fails to bring happier and more
useful life than the city. Young
men, you who till the soil ano
earn your bread by the sweat of
your brow. we are proud of you;
our latchstring is always out to
you and you will always have a
friend in this paper, Come and
see us and give US the news from
