Quit in Time

Mason Brothers use to run a furni.
ture store in Hiawatha. They were
line fellows and used to tell the peo
pie about their bright brother. They
said that he was capable OF many
things but that booze was about to
get him down. AT that time Walt
Mason was almost unknown. He quit
booze and soon was known all over the
world as the man who made more
money and attracted more attention
writing poetic jinvles than any man
known to the history OF the world.
Sunday In the Kansas City Star, Walt
Mason had the following:
"When the final Indictment against
old John Barleycorn Is written, the
scrivcner will not overlook the fact
that old John has defrauded the world
OF priceless stores OF literature. From
the earliest times to the latest, booze
has killed or cxtinguished genius. and
the worlds graveyards are well Hlled
with mute, inglorious Millions who
were mute and inglOrious because Of
strong drink, which Is raging. Kit
Marlowe. the only English dramatist
worthy to be classed with Shakes
peare, died In a tavern brawl while u
young man. The intellect OF Burns
was soddcncd by RIGHT guide Willie
waughts. All his best poetry was
written during his youth, and IL was
fortunate for his reputation that he
died young. Our own Edgar Poe died
when he should have been at his best,
and died as the result OF debauch.
Had he never made the acquaintance
OF Hon. Barleycorn what footprints
he might have left on the sands Of

Meet Again

After many years separation, during
which neither knew OF the Others
whereabouts, Mrs. Robert Wilkinson
and c. NJ. Jackson met here last week
accidentally. The two families lived
at Bicknell, Ind, at one time aud each
departed for greener fields some years
ago. MIR. Jackson came to Ordway
and purchased a barber shop and has
since been numbered among our best
citizens. Last December Mr.. Wilkin-
son died on dry claim north OF town
and returned east without the knowl-
edge that the Jacksons we're living
here. When he moved his family here
last week to take up life on the claim
his wife met Jack" on the street and
the surprise was equally great to both.

But there In no Joy in Mudvule-mighty Casey

And there was mighty little JOY in
Ordway last Saturday evening-for
the Fowler high school came, saw and
conquered. But our high school boys
say they are not a bit ashamed Of the
outcome OF the game. They have no
occasion to be, for they put up rat
tling good scrap for victory, and the
final score OF to 4 In favor OF Fowler
was one that would have done credit
tOa much older and more skillful
bunch.
Both teams played good ball from
start to finish. The crowd was not
able principally for not being there,
and neither OF the male teachers in
our public schools graced the occasion
with their presence. In contrast to
this state OF affairs, the Fowler pro-
fessor was not only present. but
coached his boys to victory.
