they said. But there was little nov-
city in the forlorn remnant of cans
upon the shelves, or in the half-empty
barrels and boxes under the counter
and massed in the corners Of the room.
One man found q stray box of sar-
dimes, and took possession of it with
the remark that, while it was not
,'Christmasy," he could have the sat-
isfaction of knowing he was eating
the only sardines in camp; another
drew out can Of Boston baked beans
from behind squadron of tomatoes ;
while a third, Of more investigating
and determined turn of mind, hunted
among the boxes and barrels until he
actually discovered can Of Cape Cod
cranberries.
This brought the entire group Of
Christmas hunters into a compact,
envying circle; and while they were
anxiously debating the pro and con-
especially the cOn-Of division Of
spoils. the door opened quietly and a
stoop-shouldered, watery-eyed man en-
tered.
"Have you got any toys?" he asked.
hesitatingly.
The storekeeper stared, and unani-
mously, as though by preconcerted ar
rangement, the group around the
canned representatives from Cape Cod
turned and stared also.
"Any-what?" the storekeeper asked
blankly.
''Toys," the man repeated looking at
the encircling faces with abashed en-
things to play with, I
mean, like children have at Christ
mas. You see," with a curious
mingling of apology and pride in his
voice, "my little ten-year-old boy came
in on the stage just now-clean from
his grandma's, back to Missouri. I've
been sendin' for him these two years,
but couldn't seem to get to it till I
struck a vein last month"
He lurched heavily against the coun-
ter. His watery eyes began to fill,
partly through his condition and partly
from some long dormant tenderness
which was beginning to reawaken.
'The boys considerable childish" he
went on, rousing himself little at
the consciousness Of being listened to
by men who usually passed him with
out recognition, "an' likes things to
play with. So, bein' it's Christmas,

mebbe I'd better hunt some toys"

sheriff, heartily; and "Of course" "Of

$50 DAYS HARD"
FOR GAMBLING

JOS Harrington, Fennimore hotel
man charged with gambling, pleaded
guilty before Judge Smalley Monday
and received a sentence of six months
'at hard labor" in the county Jail.
Harrington was represented by F.
e. Jenswold who contended the game
was just a social affair between the
guests about the hotel Mr. Jens,
void intimated that the games were
the friendly little affairs such as are
played around hotels and clubs all
the country.
This point OF View is combatted by
Fennimore arthorities who say that
Harrington is a persistent gambler
of the most Vicious type who has kept
a game going after repeated warnings
and one prosecution.
Harring y: and five other men were
in court last March on a charge OF
gambling The five inmates were
fined $25 each. Harrington was fined
$25 by Justice Burrows and later be-
fore Judge Bancroft, fined $400. Evil
IDENTITY ''Ae lesson was not severe
again arrested and it is upon the last
charge that he Grew the 1870 days in
Jail.
Harrington had little to say after
being sentenced. He conferred with
the Judge a minute and then turning
to DepatN Dye, said: Come on if
you are ready Mr.. Dyer led him to
the county Jail. Harrington's sentence
can be cut down one-third by good
behavior.

March Blizzard
40 Years Back

John Howe and Harry Barnett had
occasion last Friday to remember the
third of March, 1881, forty-one years
ago That winter saw the heaviest
SHOWS known in the history of Grant
county with three whole weeks and
not train on the narrow guage into
Lancaster. Mr.. Howe was running a
store here then and as supplies were
low he called on Harry to go to Du-
buque with him after groceries. The
men left Lancaster on the third OF
March and made Dubuque in days
Journey without trouble. They
loaded up with barrel of vinegar,
flour, sugar, kerosene and other ar
ticIes and started for Lancaster
again. On the way home another
blizzard blew up and the two men
were snowbound enroute for three
days. Then coming down the hill at
Specht's Ferry Mr. Howe essayed to
replace the wagon tongue that had
fallen between the horses and lost two
front teeth when a man drove up be-
hind and struck the wagon blow,
knocking the tongue of the Wagon
against Johns mouth. So the third
of March, or Whereabouts, always
serves as a reminder when John and
Harry meet around that time each
year.

POTOSI FARMER HAS
ALL KINDS OF LUCK

Jacob Schuster, former resident OF
Lancaster but now of Potosi, was in
the city on business Thursday. Jacob
has had both good and bad luck late
ly. He won the damage suit in the
case of Duncan VS. Schuster and es-
capped payment of $1,000. His bad
luck consists of having series of op-
erations, four in number, to relieve
rupture and other troubles. These
cost him a thousand dollars. His
good luck turns again because after
seven weeks in the hospital he is in
good health again. During the recent
flood on the lower reaches of Platte
Jake and his brothers lost 135 cords
of fine cordwood they had grubbed
out of the timber at the foot of Mas
SEVILLE hill and would have sold at 50
cord This loss included $75 worth
of good saw logs. This was bad but
Jake's good angel was along as the
labor in clearing the land makes 1t
corn land of the finest kind and next
summer the bottom will produce con-
siderable fine corn. Mr.. Schuster is
a philosopher and takes all things as
they come.
