Decision Was lust

Comment Of the valley press upon
the decision OF Judge Rizer awarding
the permanent county. seat to Ordway
is that the judge did exactly the
right aud reasonable thing. Some
times people little distance away
can secure better perspective OF the
proper proportion Of things than can
those nearer the scene Of action. In
this case we believe this to be true.
While we have always contended that
Ordway is the logical and natural spot
for the county seat, it has been i'm
possible tn make some people see this
fact-principally those with real e,-
tate to dispose OF.

Silver Threads

Life is fading fast away, silver
threads are on my brow; will you love
me when I'm gray, as you love me
now, my frau? Will you love me
when I'm old. and my temper's on the
blink, and l sit around and scold till
l drive the folks to drink? When
have the rheumatic, and lumbagO
and repeat, and the cuss-words fairly
sizz as l nurse my swollen feet; when
a crutch l have to use, since my tril.
bys are so lame that they will not fit
my shoes, will you love rue just the
same? When the gOut infests my
toes, and all vanished are my charms,
will you kiss me on the nose. will you
clasp me In your arms? Silver threads
are In the gold, life will soon have run
its lease: I'd be glad II were told
that your love will still Increase when
my high ambition falls, and my hopes
are all unstrung, and tell my tire
some tales Of the days when | was
young; when l sit around the shack
ma king loud and dismal moan. or the
stitches in my back, and my aching
collar bone; when the asthma racks
my chest so can not speak word.
will you fold me to your breast, say
ing I'm your honey bird? When I'm
palsied. stiff and sere. when I'm weary
Of the game. tell me, o Jemima dear.
will you love me just the same?-Walt

What john Grew Thinks Of ill..r.
lean Women.

John Drew, the celebrated actor,
contributes to the February Wo-
mans Home Companion an interest
ing article entitled what I Think
of the American Woman" Follow
ing is an extract:
"Restlessness in woman takes
many forms, passes through many
phases.
ga restless woman made the dis
covery of the Western world posi-
BILE. Hers was the restlessness of
ambition and the little learning
then deemed most dangerous
thing for women. 1t would be I'M
grateful indeed for American men
to decry the restlessness which
springs from knowledge.
ga restless woman wrote a book
which crystallized scattered public
sentiment, created a new political
party, and finally freed an entire
race, though the price, civil war,
was heavy. Hers was the restless
ness which quivers under the wrongs
of others. And out of all this rest
lessness on the part of women have
come the progress of humanity, the
rise of great nations, the abolish
ment of great wrongs. To the
alarmist the present day agitation
for the so-called individuality of
woman menas the elimination of
marriage vows, the obstruction of
the family and the home.
Nonsense. When the American
woman has sifted out the mass of
theories offered by agitators and
discovered just what she wants,
whether that be economic indepen-
dence or the ballot, she will pro-
coed to round off it's unsightly, rough
corners, polish it into presentable
and pleasing shape, and inject it in
to our national and family life.
