The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-06-05
By Hugh Pe,pderter

Very well, then interrupted Mrs. Pratt sharply,
she's picked her path, let her lie III it Now, I've
arranged to have Elder Witham buy the tickets You're
TO give your money TO and I'll give 1t 10 him; then
all we have do to be the station in tho morning
But why should he fuss TO buy cm?' gaspcd Mrs
Pcevy, for the moment forgetting her isolation I've
could-oh. dear! To think must be only an audience"
Mrs, Pratt turned long, chilly gaze upon her, and
others the circle began to look dubious the donn-
ating factor hurrledly dccrecd We must have
buy the tickets Elder can git en- quicker than VIC can
and also be of the change I've arranged for it
all"
This ecctualy stamped any revolutionary spark,
and the members Of the circle devoted themselves
discussing the matter of food This topic furnished
material for envening debate for several minutes,
and was only interrupted by the WIDOWS reminder:
But that makes three who say they'll bring dough-
nuts Why don't Mrs Weeger bring tarts instead?"

Nellie, demonstrated the president compasslonacly,
why don't you try 10 forst?'

woman; "but if hadn't bought them electric belts

Belts, Mcllic What did you want of emp" cried
Mrs. Wecger, eyelng the others pory form in amaze
ment
"Oh, / don't know why bought 'cm!" latnented
Mrs Pccyy, rocking her body in minor display of emo
ton But the agent let me have cm forty cheaper
If Id take six-and took 'cm. They're good for rheu-
masm, you know"
"Lawd, Nellie! l knew you had rheumatic"
said the president
Il amt snivclcd Mrs. Peevy; but they seemed
such bargain'
Nellie Pecvy," reproached Mrs Prau's discordant
voice. by your words you prove we've been vast
ing our sympathy" And her bony features assumed
the expression Of one who has been cheated as she
elarcd at the fearful of the offender Here
we've been trying TO arrange for your happiness, and
that all the time you've been wasting your pen
sion money on gewgaws. Nellie, how much did you
pay for emp"
Jest three dollars n sixty cents" confessed Mrs
Pccvy in protractcd groan
Mercy sakcs aivcl" cried Mrs Weeger throwing
up her hands who suddenly beholds serpent
Then you could have gone the excursion if you'd
wanted to- but instead you've spent your money for

The storckccper made if 10 speak, but, unable
frame appropriate query he changed his mind and
the muscles of his face and only stared her in per
picked impaticncc.
She in turn, bowed her shoulders ono bcrcft OF all
earthly help and cried, why Mister Jcssup you're
telling folks | can't go the cxcursion?"
The storekcepcr stepped back in and turned
implorng, questioning gaze upon his graycy attentive
friends.

"Ye might have said it in fun" suggested Mr. Cur

Bige Pratt, with idea where the situation lead

"Ah Nellie" sighed the president, it seems pity
has been thrown away and that you've chosen Mammon
TO innocent pleasure.
"Wc, now we've learned her foolish secret" grufly
broke in Mrs. Pratt "sposc we return to our plans

But Mrs Pccvy, having endured to the maximum Of
her nervous strength, waited to hear no more, and
blndly gathering up her sewing she felt her way tho
door and with her free hand gcsturing wildly, hurried
pondcrousy into the yard and away.
1t was Characteristic Of Mrs Pccvy to enter into
complete anticipation of any possible pleasure and un-
mindful Of the fact that she might be disappointed TO
move about with sunny brow, rejoicing and entirely op-
timstic But despite the haccid fiber of her mental
makeup she possessed-in the eleventh hour-a peculiar

"If Aaron has wronged ye he'll make it right kindly
assured Mr. Curriers' hired man
But the storekecpcr, rallyng from his supor
pounded the with his FIST to hold attention, and
loudly exclaimed never said any such thing, tell
you'll never said dod-rotted thing about anybody

coaxing tone. Now, Nellie what makes you think

Mrs Pecyy controlled her trembling lips with diff
hculty long enough explain, dreamed three differ
ent times last night that you lang at and saving
couldn't so OIL the excursion.
The storekeeper gared heplessy at her for nearly
minute before his astonshment would allow him to
posulate, "Well, l snum! land dye mean you're
pulling me over the Goals on the strength of

But why should dream it three times If 1t want

reminded that the time ripe for ultimate essay
No longer could she rcve the ncrvc-tlnglng fantasy

THE BURLINGTON ROAD
TO I NEW MEXICO.

A report comes from Trinidad, Col,
that the Burlington Road is about to
enter New Mexico. The rumor has it
that the Burlington, which recently alb
sorbed the Colorado & Southern, will
extend its line through the coal fields
OF northern New Mexico to Ell Paso,
the object being to secure a line from
the Northwest to tap old Mexico and
also with the intention of finally reach
ing the Gulf.
1t is reported that engineers for the
Burlington are in the field and are x
amining the country preparatory to
running a survey for the new line.
If this rumor or report be true. Ros
well should make some effort to have
the line come through Roswell. 1t
would give us cheap fuel, cheap rates
with the northwest and with Kansas
City and the east. This line would be
the best line that could enter Roswell.

Everybody is likely to have kid
ney and bladder trouble. In fact,
nearly everybody has some trouble of
this kind. That is the reason why
you often have pains in the back and
groin, scalding sensation, urinary
disorders, etc.-that's your kidneys.
The best thing to do is to get some
of DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
right away. Take them for a few
days or a Wee, or so and you will
feel all right. In this way, too, you
will ward off dangerous and possibly
serious ailments. They are perfectly
harmless, and are not only antisep-
tic, but allay pain quickly by their
healing properties. Send your name
to e. c. Dewitt e Co., Chicago, for a
free trial box. They ere sold here by
Engbertson's Pharmacy. May

where speech of welcome was
made by Hon. A. X Bailey, when
they dispersed to their homes, tired,
but now champions of the world.
Republican National Convention.
In June, 1888, the corps went to
the Republican convention held at
Chicago. On this trip the boys had
nothing to do except see the sights
of the city.
Fourth Regiment Encampment.
August 14th, they attended the
Fourth regiment encampment at
West Union and met a number of old
friends. They had a good time and
were we'll pleased with their trip.
Returning home they prepared and
attended the fair at Rochester,
MINI.
At the present writing, Feb. 1892,
the boys are recognizing and will
attend the Republican convention at
Minneapolis in June.
In conclusion 1t may not be amiss
to mention the fact that throughout
the life of the corps they have never
taken second place. They have al
ways behaved like gentlemen and
never have the citizens had cause to
be ashamed of them. They have al
ways responded cheerfully to the
call, when wanted for any public
demonstration. No wonder the citi-
zens are proud of them, what city of
ten times the size of DEBORAH would
not be? And it it is to be hoped
that they will always have the same
pride and thus keep alive the or
ganization until the present mem
bers are old men.
In writing this little history have
tried to give an accurate account of
the doings of the corps since it's or
ganization, if | have failed it is
through lack of memory, and | hope
that in years to come when the mem
bers read this little book, their
thoughts will go back to the good
old times had with playing with the
DEBORAH drum corps.
