On Deer Flat, yonder towards the
setting sun, more than II. with oars
dipping deep into the ocean of life,
looking anxiously into the ruby of
their western horizon, live o. G. Ro-
gers and wife. For 62 years both have
livef on the western slope. They came
when she was nine and he eleven.
They were here when gold was dis
covered, and were old timers when
Lincoln was assassinated. When the
senate passed the homestead law, and
when Burlingame opened the door of
China, or when the Civil war was de-
clared, these two old people were sail
ing the seas of youthful hopes. Two
Sundays ago the good old partner of
Mr.. Rogers joys and sorrows, stepped
lightly down the aisle in the Friends
church at Greenleaf and dropped in
II pennies into the birthday box. and
glided back to the pew where sat her
lover of 80 years ago. Our history

sting might last six or eight months.
There can be but little excuse for a
herder broiling piece of meat to en-
tice dogs away from their homes near

lowing an instinct.
There is something about the ethics
between hens and roosters that the
Hired Man does not pretend and more
to understand. He has heretofore told
preachers that people are good deal
like hogs in some respects. Father
used to have lot of fine hogs running
in blue grass pasture. When ever
somebody came along and wanted to
see the hogs, father would call them
up to the barn, but he never failed to
throw them little grain each time.
He said he had to feed them a little
or after while they would not come
when he called them. tell the preach
ers that is what they must do with
us when they call us over to their
churches. If they do not throw us a

day in a pen with rooster. Some
body had thrown them few little
strings of meat. These little bits OF

looked like the rooster had been ap-
pointed to look them up. In minute
he would find piece, chuckle furious.
