CUSTER COUNTY.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST FIFTH.
Congressman Pollard, II. T. O'Neal, Judge
W. T. Norris, and Ex.G0y. llOlcomb
Will Be The Principle Speakers,
Short Talks BY Old Settlers.

Next Wednesday, August 5th,
will occur the annual event
which is always looked forward
to by the citizens of Custer
county. 1t is the day when dull
care is laid aside by our people
aud all can should come to Brok-
Ell Bow and enj themselves in
old time "reminiscences. Every
one should come and help to
honor the men and women who
endured the privations and hard
ships of pioneer days in Custer
county and showed to the world
that this part of Nebraska could
be made to blossom like the rose.
To them is due all the credit Of
making it possible for the young
er generation 70 enjoy the fine
homes which dot the hills and
valleys of the fairest and best
county, not only of the great
state of Nebraska but of all the
states in the Union. The Old
Settlers Picnic is given so that
at least once a year the sturdy
Pioneer, with his good wife and
children, and their children's
children may gather together
and enjoy the day in visiting and
talking of incidents which hap
pen in the early days.
In the Public Park.
The picnic will be held in the
public park where there is ample
shade, plenty of water and just
the ideal place for our old friends
to enjoy picnic dinner,provided
the newspaper men of the city
are invited to partake of the
many good things to eat which
Custer county's good women
know so well how to prepare.
Several Good Speakers.
The committee has secured
several good speakers for the
day. Congressman Pollard, Of
Of the first district, will be here
and he will be able to- interest
all for he Is an old timer. The
next speaker will be Gov. S. A.
Holcomb. OF him we need say
no words of praise, for he is
known far and near and loved
and revered by all who know
him. Harry O'Neill, of Omaha,
one of the pioneers of our county
and soon to be again, will tell of
the happiness and hardships en-
joyed and endured in the days
when none but sod houses and
barns specked our rolling prairies.
The committee was also fortunate
in securing Judge w. f. Norris,
late OF the Philippine Islands
for an address.

Probably the most interesting
part of the program will be short
talks by the Old Settlers who
will be invited to tell how they
rubbed up against the rough
edges of life in this county some
thirty or more years ago. Do
not miss this picnic, hut come

should.

Alas. there are no scythes nova

and reapers. The economical reform
has swept our romance numerically.
In those days there were scythes, and
there were men who knew how to
swing them. IL was a fine sight to see
four or five wellbuilt lads, led by the
father, moving down the meadow
and the timothy was nearly as tall as
their heads. But the swing OF their
scythes fell true. and their tread was
even, and they were glad Birds sung

them Of 1t, and they went round leav-

Sun Can't Hurt Tools Temper.

The carpenter hurriedly pushed the
chisel out OF the white, vibrating sun
shine into the cool blue shade.
DO you want to spoil the tools tenn
per in that heat?" he growled.
But the older carpenter, smiling
scornfully, retorted:
II thought you were above the silly
superstition that the summer sun
could hurt the temper Of our tools.
Why, man, you triple the suns heat,
and still our tools could lie in the
full blaze unframed.
TO temper chisel the steel is heat
ed TO 400 degrees. To temper axes
and planes heat of $40 degrees Is
applied. Fine saws and augers take
$50 degrees, and hand and pit saws
take 600 degrees.
