fur came to us on Sunday afternoon
last, a modest remainder of what we
may expect as winter approaches.
The stable at the schoolhouse for
the comfort of teams on occasions of
public assembly is practically COM
pleted, and a credit to the committee
having the matter in charge. There
are ten double stalls, and teams can
be driven in without taking them
apart. Church societies in town
might profitably consider a similar
proposition.
We were glad to welcome back Mr..
and Mrs. A. G.. Brown from their ex-
tended eastern trip to visit relatives
and other friends. They report an
unbroken chain of pleasant memories.
Mr.. Browns father is still living, and
they inform us that he is moving
down the incline of life in comparative
comfort,
All the old time residents of this
locality will be interested to know
that Norman Brown has married and
settled down in Denver, Colorado.
Since leaving here several years he
has been a soldier in the Philippines,
returned, and travelled over the great
er part of the western, and southern
portion of the United States, never
remaining very long at any one place.
Our people have followed him during
these years with peculiar interest, and
now that he has apparently settled
down, are planning to send to him a
substantial token Of regard as a we'd
ding present, Any who Haay desire
to be among the contributors for that
purpose can do so by communicating
with David Z Pratt who has kindly
consented 10 take the matter III
charge.
One of our valued assistants informs
us that Mrs. Hayden has had the great
misfortune to lose her eye sight.
Everything was done by loving friends
that seemed possible to save her sight,
but to no avail She was taken to
specialists along hal line, only to be
told that nothing could be done. Sure
~ the lady is entitled to the fullest
sympathy of all in her sad affection.
She is mother of James Hayden who
is well known to some of our people.
Miss Laura Buck of North Dakota
is visiting friends in this locality.
This is her first visit since leaving
here six years ago. She has develop
ed from a school girl to a womanly
maiden, and is more than welcome in
our every home. We are informed
that she made a full five year resi-
dence on a quarter section of North
Dakota land, and has made ample
proof Of the same. Her brothers,
Bonnie and Robbie are still here, and
act as her chaperon from place to
to place.
Ed Page is a sorry victim of mis-.
placed confidence. In a business
transaction, be took a check that
proved to be worthless, and when the
proof was established the maker of
the check had departed to parts un,
known, and Ed is doubtless out the
amount of that check. From this, all
may get wise.

derstand the strenuous life was too
much for him. Bill used to be greatly
annoyed by the razorback hogs that
roam at large through the country,

one hog in particular that gave Bill
lot OF trouble. Every evening he
could be found lying comfortably be

BIZ would have to climb down from

In that country and nothing is thought

you do, you are liable to go to Jail.
"Well. Bill had a crouch on one
day, and when he saw the hog stretch
ed out in the usual wallow he deter
mined to defy the law. So, instead of
stopping to pry the hog Off the track,
he opened up his throttle and started
for the obstruction at full speed. Just
as the engine was almost upon him
the hog seemed to realize that some
thing was wrong. Not waiting for the
usual assistance, he got up, shook
himself, and started down the track
ahead OF the engine. And I have the
assurance Of at least dozen respecta-

Men have always frankly despised
women without in the least disliking

man may respect, but toward women in
general his attitude will remain for the
most part kindly contemptuous.
Nowadays the attitude of woman to-
ward men is very much the same, says
Sarah Grand in the London Chronicle,

bitterness and less tolerance. and the
effect upon themselves Of the loss of

Twelve million people have sickness

100000 against accident When boy
begins his apprenticeship at 16 he be-
gins his insurance. Even children
under age who work for wages out OF
school hours are required to insure
for invalidism and old age. The men
in labor colonies must be insured, and
prisoners hired out by the state. In
every factory one meets it; in every
tenement. 1t has been estimated that,
counting with the insured their fam
lilies, who are also protected by the In
