on the pathway it has chosen to fol-

sorrow and misery are it's stock in

gold. 1t heralds the mysteries of in
decency as it's lure. The folds of a
scarlet robe enticed a little girl, and
when her mind went dead and her
body was broken, the mills of dis
gushing journalism began the slow
grinding of her soul for profit. Dor
othy Ellingson, Is, walked into the
depths and deserves the pity and

Her journey through life had only
started, and she could not know the
evil she did; but for the hags of
journalism that bend over her defam-

the certainty that youth will be con-

utter contempt. Neither man nor

Mrs. 0. Dresser, Lone
Tree Pioneer, Dead

Mrs. Ellen Day Dresser, widow of
the late o. A. Dresser, and a pioneer
of the Lone Tree community, passed
away on Wednesday of last week.
The funeral was held Friday af-
ternoon at the home.
Rev. Thos. Bell pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Morgan, per-
formed the last rites.
Interment was made in old Mount
cemetery, near the Dresser home,
nesting in the valley of the Mime
sofa. She was committed to her IL
nal resting place beside the mortal
remains of relatives and friends, and
midst the scenes of the pioneer strug
giles through which she had passed
in the earlier days.
She would have been 80 years old
had she lived until September 9Th,
thus she rounded out ripe life, full
of the experiences which only those
know who have forged into new un-
broken country to hew out home
midst obstacles, known and unknown.
For over Sc years she had lived
on the same farm at Lone Tree where
she started housekeeping and she died
The deceased was born in Nutley.
New Jersey, Sept. 5, 1845. On De-
cember IL, 1868, she was united in
marriage to o. A. Dresser, who pass
ed to the Great Beyond ten years ago.
The deceased is survived by five
sons and daughters, Irving of
Verndale, Mimi, Bradford of Fillmore,
Calf, Belle, Mrs. Higgions of Min
neapolis, Rilla, Mrs. Jay Dodge, with
whom she made her home, and Vic
tor, who also resides in the neighbor-
hood, and thirteen grandchildren

and still breathe. From just below
her ears to the hem Of a skirt that
trailed the ground, she was swathed
in volumous draperies. And, from
what we have heard grandma say, un-
derneath all this were still more
yards and yards of cloth. Bustfes

ness.

long hair well dressed" with some
thing oleaginous, his heavy black
shoes, stiff bosomed "boiled" shirt
and long and thick underwear, he too
was a martyr of "style" as they
knew it then.
Present day dress for women may
lack something Of modesty, but it is
cool, sanitary, and far more comfort
able to the eyes. And while men
have not yet discarded their coats.
even in the hottest weather, they
have adopted thinner materials, and
no longer wear the hard-boiled shirt
monstrosity of the old-timers.
Look at old pictures and be sure
that is spite of some of the silly
things we do in these days at least
we dress more comfortable, more
sensibly and with much better taste.

SONG

/ will make you brooches and toys
for your delight
Of bird song at morning and star
shine at night.
1 will make a palace fit for you and
me
Of green days in forests and blue days
at sea.
I will make my kitchen, and you shall
keep your room.
Where white flows the river and
bright blows the broom.
And you shall wash your linen and
keep your body white
In rainfall of morning and dewfall at
night.
And this shall be for music when no
one else is near,
The fine song for singing, the rare
song to hear!
That only to remember, that only you
admire!
Of the broad road that stretches and
the roadside fire.

The West.

(From Levang's Weekly
Men look to the East for the dawn
ing things, for the light of ris-
ing sun,
But they look to the West, to the
crimson West, for the thing that
are done, are done!
The eastward sun is a new-made
hope from the dark of the night
distilled.
But the westward sun is a sunset
sun, is the sun of a hope fulfilled!
So out of the East they have always
come, the cradle that saw the
birth
Of all the heart-warm hopes of man
and all the hopes of earth
For out of the East arose a Christ
and out of the East has cleaned
The dearest dream and the clearest
dream that ever a prophet dream
ed.
And into the waiting West they go
with the dreamchild Of the East
And find the hopes that they hoped
of old are a hundred-fold in
creased.
For there in the East we dreamed
the dreams of the things we hope
to do,
And here in the West, the crimson
West, the dreams of the East come
true!
