The little engine that is connected
with the bakery has been out of or
der for several days past, and sort
of refused to work until Friend r.,
the electrician, took it in hand. At
present it whirls the bread around
so fast that it puts the fire out. At
least that's what the Col. states.
just four years ago today ar
rived at this Silent City. Someone
kindly sent me copy of the Still
water Gazette about that time, and
have read it SO much since then that

about it is that / some times feel as
if had lived in Saltwater all my

Herr Limburger, as we predicted
made decided hit with his singing,
Sunday morning. 1t is stated that
an aged woman who attended the
morning services, wept bitterly. No
doubt. the childish voices that on, e
gladdened her heart have all been
stilled now, and as the strains of the
song reached the. aged one, b e /
heart went out to the many mothers.
who, like her, miss the songs and
faces of their boys.
- If it no difference makes, youst
put my turkey whole on der plate.
/ cut him UP mine self. Vat?''
Quite surprise was given the
boys the other day when they came
in for dinner. The dining room was
found to be all decorated with flow
ers. 1t was a pleasant sight and a
great improvement. Friend p, we
understand is hot on the trail of Otto,
for the purpose of securing a few
Canary birds. which he, wishes to
install among the flowers. There is
plenty of room for the little song
sters and we are sure, they would
receive the very best of care.
old Hutch says: These here
turkeys you get now days amt moth
ing like those / used to get back in
North Dakotie, long in the early
thirties. Me and Indian John went
out one morning and took our old
shot guns which we loaded with a
good charge of giant powder, then
We put our ramrods in and started
out. just as soon as we struck the
timber we found every tree to be
alive with turkeys, and a-settling
SO close together that you couldn't
count 'em. We would single out a
tree with a long straight branch, and
when the word was given, let go.
You see the ramrod would go
through about ten of the turkeys
and all we had to do was to shoulder
the bunch and return home. We
never wasted powder them days. :
