Swearing an Accomplishment.

Swearing was at one time regarded
as an indispensable accomplishment in
a gentleman. Evelyn Ashley once
told Sir Algernon West that On his

Lady Caroline Neeld, his sister, said
to him in all seriousness: Now that
you have come into the title you must
learn to swear. Your father always
did, and gained great respect by it in

LOVE AND DUTY.

II
Love came one day with laughing eyes,
and opened wide the door,
And in my heart would build a nest to
rest forever more,
He whispered sweet in Turing tones rich
stores which he possessed,
And joy sang in my lonely heart as love
my soul caressed.
But calm eyed Duty heard his lay he
caroled sweet and strong,
And stepped within the open door and
hushed his happy song;
With clear and steady eyes she stood
between Young Love and 1,
With trembling hands, 1 closed the door,
and babe Young Love-Goodbye.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM
Denison to Have One Of the Best and
Fastest High School Football
Teams in the State.

The high school boys are working
to have the best team in western
Iowa, and there is no reason why they
can't. They are practicing every night
until 6 o'clock, getting into good con-
dition for the games to follow.
Many of the old players are back
and there are at least twenty new
players. O'Connor and Collins, who
played star parts last year. are in the
best of condition and they expect to
play better ball this year.
Mr.. Weiss has accepted the position
as coach and is managing the boys
with the best plays and expects to
have a winning team. Besides Mr..
Weiss there are three other coaches
and each is doing his best to make
the team the best the high school has
ever had.
New uniforms are being sent for
and will be here for the first game.
With these they will have fine ap.
pearance and will do the business
The Denison high school team has
the best reputation of playing clean

his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Evers,
and other relatives. While at Green
River they enjoyed two weeks camp
ing trip, going 125 miles up into the
mountains in a spring wagon where
they camped on the edge of beaut!-
full lake. Mr.. Evers informs us that
he neye rexpects to catch as many
fish again in his life as he did during
that two weeks. The mountain
brooks seemed to be alive with trout
that weighed from i quarter of a
pound up to two pounds each and or

too is good, says Mr.. Evers, and it
is not an uncommon thing to go out in
the morning and kill six or eight sage
hens in a short time. These grow
to be as large as the common barn

DEATH DEALING
CR0SSINGREMAINS
w. A. McHenry Refuses to Sell Land
for Roadway on North Side of
Northwestern Tracks.
THE PROJECT is NOW ENDED
After Months Of Negotiating With
Railroad Company Council Will
Ask for Danger Bell Only.

The crossing near the McHenry
farm, known as the "Death-Dealing'
crossing, and where the Reimers and
Evers people We're killed this spring
is to remain permanent crossing.
Mr.. W. A. McHenry appeared be-
fore the council on Monday night and
personally entered objections to the
sale of enough land to establish new
and safe public highway on the north
side of the tracks, thus doing away
with the death trap, just west of his
farm house. Mr.. McHenry gives as
his reasons for not wishing to sell
the land, 'the inconvenience it would
place him to in getting to and from
his farming and hay lands. 1t would
necessitate an extra man in hauling
hay to keep the gates closed. For
forty-seven years the crossing has
been used as a public crossing and
only two serious accidents have taken
place. In the twenty-siX years he has
been driving his herds across the pri-
vate way just east of the crossing
there has never been an accident, and
if the new road was established it
would be for all time to come, and
therefore a great detriment to him.
He said loss of life is to be deeply re-
gretted, but the crossing in question
is no more dangerous than hundreds
of others, and people should use more
care in crossing"
Soon after the fatal accident of last
spring the council and the railroad
company reached conclusion as to
the new road. The council was to
purchase the land, the railroad com
pany was to do the grading and the
county was to build the necessary
bridge. The legislature was in ses
sion at the time and new law was
enacted whereby the county could not
legally use county funds for building
bridges inside city limits. This placed
the burden of a new bridge on the
CITY. Notwithstanding this the city
opened negotiations with Mr.. Scar:
McHenry, his father, w. A., being II
California, for the purchase of enough
land for the road, and agreed on g
price of 5000, the city to fence the new
road. Letters have passed to and frt
