But the entrance of both the young
persons my thoughts had just named

an amazing calm began a common
place little chatter about ~unimportant
things, Just as II nothing had happened
at all. Nor did the appearance OF
Agatha First and Terhune one after
the other at all disturb their beautiful
serenity. .
Strange to say, Terhune gave no
evidence of n inward disquiet or
cause for alarm. He showed not the
faintest symptoms of a guilty con-
science, but laughed and chatted with
his customary sociability. II 1t had
not been for his persistent avoidance
of conversation with Agatha First l
should have been convinced In spite
of the evidence of my own eyes that
he was not the traitor and double
dealer we had every reason to think
him, but an upright and innocent gen.
tleman deeply in love with Agatha
Sixth and Agatha Sixth only, his
straying toward Agatha First having
/, been but a temporary swerving from
the path of loyalty, born only OF his
conceit and thirst for fattery. I'm

Farming As An Occupation.

Farming is rapidly passing beyond
the mere plane Of manual labor, phys
ical toll. There are aids to suncess-
full cultivation. That this is an as
sured fact IS shown in the present IN
creasing demand for good farm man
ayers.
Besides the thoughtful direction Of
labor On the farm, must be added a
thorough knowledge Of the science
Of farming ID order to produce the
best results. The successful farmer
is an expert il his calling. An ex-

who thoroughly understands all the

Hence it can be readily understood

too slow. AS he let them touch
the brick platform he STUN bled
and lost his balance. He grasp

trying to hold to the car, but
missed his hold.
Again and again it seemed
that he clutched at the car, but

quarter of an inch away.
THE FUNERAL
Probably the first Mexican
funeral ever held in any church
of this town was held in the
Methods church last Thursday
Rev. Macarthur of the Presby.
terian church and Rev. Smith
taking charge. The man who
was killed on the depot platform
on Wednesday afternoon was
the one whose funeral being held
and everything was conducted in
the incest order that could be
obtained. The Mexicans were
seated in the pews in a body,
having been let off for the occa.
sion by the foreman and although
the services were all in English
there was every evidence that
the Mexicans understood the
general import of affairs.
AS general thing these fell
lows are neglected by the people
among whom they are working
and this is quite a solitary case
of manifestation of our boosted
Christian spirit. This is an op
portunity to show these fellows
that our civilization is really
Christian. -Cimarron Jackson

The Keith sale Tuesday was
quite we'll attended, buyers being
attracted from as far east as
Bucklin. Everything advertised
was sold and some stock besides
that was not on the bills. The
crowd was good natured, appear
ed prosperous, and bid gener-
ously, paying for property all it
was worth in almost every case,
we did not notice any great bar
gains. Stamper was in the prop
err humor. He has habit of be-
ing that way at the sales he cries.
He may have his off-days but
they are never sale-days. He
knows the value of all kinds of
property and is very successful
in obtaining his prices. The
ladies of Lakeview served dinner

Sweet took in the money. 1t

he is that and more too. 1t was
like selling tickets at circns
e. f. made the proper change in
every instance, acted as guide
and general director and had
abundance of time to talk some
politics. About one hundred
fifty meals were served besides
ice cream. Everybody was well
pleased. When the women of
/ Lakeview undertake anything in
the way of cookery the men have
learned to confide in them that
they will get the worth of their
money, that in quantity and quail
ity of victuals they will get more
than they could reasonably ex-
pect, good clean and wholesome
grub of which they can partake
in any desired amount without
