From Monday to Sunday his troubles

There are trains que at midnight

While he waits in a raincoat in snow,

Are after the order of an eagles

He would not find one but once in

Are enough to make walters laugh
In their sleeves.
The beds which are his for a we'll

Are too unattrartlye to turn down the

OF BANKERS

Unexpected circumstances have de-
layed the excursion of bankers from
Minnesota and Nebraska which was
due to arrive this morning. AS an
nounced In The Sentinel several days
ago, the party comes as the guests of
the Luce Land company, and great
preparations have been made for
their reception.
However, the delay will cause but
little change to be made in the local
arrangements, other than postponing
all plans until tomorrow when 1t is
expected the visitors will arrive.
The committee having the matter
in charge put in busy evening last
night countermanding and deferring
arrangements with parties through
out the valley, but all is in readiness
now for tomorrow's reception.
