| wore some months gone by.
I've laid IL on the topmost shelf
With many a weary sigh.
No longer are they wearing pufs.
And rats are quite de trop;
cannot wear the old hair
OH what cruel blow!

For which good gold / paid.
Red hair is so expensive when
one gets the proper shade.
| felt so dreadful when il was coiffed
All little puffs and curls;
But | can't wear the old hair,
Alas for Fashions whirlsl
cannot wear the old hair
-Four switches L must buy
And wind them round and round my

AS fiat as they will lie.
My face is far too plump for this.
My nose is much too long;
But l can't wear the old hair.
It's altogether wrong.

Marshall Messenger: Lyon coun'
ty farm land has touched the one
hundred dollar an acre point. and
farmers are beginning to appreciate
that Lyon county farm land Is among
the very best and most valuable IN

rock. But people located there be-
fore they were aware Of better
country beyond. and we should feel
bad for those who are tied down
there and compelled to. live it out.
Marshall Reporter: DIR. Gray of

an agreement this week on the sale
of the second ward school house,
agreeing to pay down $4,000 cash.

getting $1,000, which is about all
the building is worth to this city.
1t has been a drug on the market
for several years and gradually go
ing to wreck and ruin. Mr.. Gray's
plan is to put up a first class small
hospital that he can properly care
for. together with his local work as
physician. though in time he hopes
to build the institution up to a point
where he will not be required to de-
pend on local physician work at all,
but devote his whole time to sur
gery and hospital work.

Granite Falls Tribune: Wednes-
day at about | p. m, this town was
captured by some ten loads Of peo-
pie who announced their arrival
with horns. bells, whistles and
whoops. On looking up the street
mobiles were as thick about the
Winters as they could stand and old
men. young men, red men and some
women alighted and entered that
hostelry for lunch. What did it all
mean? Later there came familiar
figure down the street with bow legs
and bills, and smile he has worn so
long it was at once recognized as be-
longing to old Joe Tyson of Redwood
Falls, and he shook hands with a
score or so of his old friends. for
was he not the first person who ever
lived in Posen township? Indeed he
was, and it was many years ago that
he invaded this township that should
bear his name but don't. Well, Joe
posted his bills announcing the fair
and field meet over at Redwood this
week, 1857, and a rabbit hunt be-
sides. Some of the best dogs that
could be secured will be there to
chase the festive rabbit and the fun

town on those days. The band came
down the street and rendered sever
al selections, then they entered their
cars and rolled south. They are out

Springfield Advance: On Tues
day forenoon a telegram sent by d.
L. Reyes from Colorado Springs to
the State Bank Of Springfield con-
tanned the startling announcement
that he was made the victim Of a
theft while occupying a sleeper on a
coast limited enroute for Los Angel
e., California. The exact amount of
his loss represents $7.513.00. besides
his transportation.
The uncertainty of life was again
demonstrated to US last Sunday af-
ternoon when the lifeless body Of
George Patterson was lifted from
the well on the Chas. Shave place,
reports the Sanborn Sentinel. MIR.
Patterson was working with the Moe
we'll boring outfit. which had been
boring a well near the Schave barns
for few days. Sunday afternoon
about $50 a rock was struck and
George volunteered TO descend into
the well and look to the difficulty
He was let into the well by rope
and when he had descended about
ten feet. struck the deadly gas and
called for help but the gas had done
Its work and the unfortunate man
lost his senses and fell to the bottom
of the well. III took nearly twenty
minutes OF the hardest work to
locate the body and bring il back to
the surface. Dir. Kusske was imme-

most valuable single load ever
marketed there Yesterday D. H.
Evans Of this city bought Of Fl. F.
Setter single load Of timothy seed
that brought S315. or $55 more than
the Pipestone load sold for.
Lyon County Reporter: The coun-
ty commissioners met Monday and
yesterday to consider propositions
for building county poor farm.
The bid Of F. S. Bartlett, of Bala-
ten was accepted for a building to
cost $l0,400. While this new poor
farm building does not look very
good to the editor, we suppose that
the commissioners have carefully
considered the matter on all sides
and finally decided that farm il
more economical and better than
residence nearer some town in the
county and we hope that MIR. Bart
lett will construct a building that
will meet the needs of the poor ami
take the place of the present build
ing that ought to have been con-
domned long ago.
