GONE TO OHIO
Mr and Mrs. W. H. Thomas and
sou and daughter, Ralph and Bin
beth, left on the early train 1 1 1 i
morning for Dayton, Ohio, where
they will make their home. Their
departure from Alliance Is sincerely
regretted by a host of friends, a
mong whom The Herald is glad to
be numbered. Mr. Thomas was one
of the pioneers in northwestern Ne
braska and did much to help develop
this country. lie homesteaded neat
Marsland, where Elizabeth and Ralph
were burn. Since coming to All i
UM he has built a number of houses
to rent and sell, and has otherwise
helped to Improve the city.
Miss Thomas is one of Box Hutte
county's successful teachers, and re
cently closed a term of school near
Hemiugford. She will be greatly
missed in educational circles as well
as by her other many friends. Ralph
has held a position quite acceptably
at the Horace Rogue store during the
past year He has been prominent
in musical circles, and his departure
will be a distinct loss. Mrs. Thorn
as came to Alltauce from Ohio less
than two years ago, but in the com
paratively short time she resided
here, made many warm friends who
regret to see her return to her na
tive state.
As a token of esteem and love, a
reception was given the departing
friends by Mr. and Mrs. K T. Wat
Mr. and Mrs Philip Nolte received
a letter this week from their son,
Camille, who Is nttendlng Colorado
Springs High school, from which he
will graduate this year. There is
notalng unusual or remarkable about
this fact; but when Tho Herald
scribe was permitted to read this
particular letter It struck him as be
ing an unusual and somewhat re
nmrkable letter. Without asking per
mission to publish It, we take the
liberty to do bo, and will take the
consequences of so doing afterwards.
It Is dated at Colorado Springs, May
II til, and addressed "Dear Parents".
Here Is what follows the address:
I grieve to think that you'll get mad,
Because the fact will make me sad.
Try not to get into that state
For then my tale I'll not relate.
I've much to ask that Int'rests you
And all of it I hope you'll do;
So if you'll give your promise fair,
I'll truly write no more hot air
But down to business I will get.
How now, have I your promise
yet ?
I think 1 hnvp, so here I go.
My troubles now you soon shall
know.
For number one this sure will fit
Kot It's the one that made the bit,
A pool ball from a table glanced
And thru a window gaily pranced;
Now for a hit I think that's great
Altho the cost I sorely hate.
''Three dollars," uoth the guy that
knew
I told him to appeal to you.
He said no, no, that he would wait
K en tho I paid a little late
Now as you know grief number one.
Number two will be begun.
I'nlike the first, an accident,
This is actual money spent.
Wye bones you sent me for some
pants,
But something got ..;e, then a
dance;
Sao to relate, hut true, how true.
Three bones of it I went right
thru.
Two lonely beans were left to me
And pantaloons I lacked, you see.
1 left it go until today
When I saw 1 needed some rtghl
away,
In the only trousers that 1 had
1 found the seat worn rather bad,
In fact two holes 1 did espy.
So quickly trousers l did buy.
I paid six dollars for the pants
And borrowed the money from one
of my aunts.
I've finished two, now for the
third,
And when It's done you will have
beard
A pityful tale so rare but true
That only one course you can pursue
But to continue my last lament
About some money that's going to
be spent.
'ailing cards I have to send
In invitations to each dear friend;
Telling them I've come at last
To the time when High School Days
are past.
About three dollars this will cost.
Which surely Is not money lost.
My doleful story you have read
And vour reply I almost dread.
Bo kind, let pity sway your heart
And graciously do your humble part
To write a heck It need not
bother
One who does it as often as lather,
So now in closing let me say
I hope you'll see it all my way.
And all my trouble recompence
By sending down the needed cents.
Mlltonspeare- Per Camille None.

ful and Inspiring. " Mothers' Day"

viee, the platform being in harmony
with its coverings of white and bou
quets or carnations. A white flow

emphasizing purity, virtue and cour-
10 exemplified in our mot hers.
A male quartette and a duet,
Mother's Prayer", were rendered by
members of the choir, In addition to
the regular music.
At the evening service a special
program of music had been pit-pared

dered In the spirit of worship, and
in honor ol Him who has taught us
to enter into his gates with thanks
giving and into his courts with
praise.
The Majestic theater continues to
draw big crowds every evening. This
popular picture show has made good
from the start, as Is attested by tho
patronage which It has received.

days ago and ravored The Herald or

fairly good crop last year, although
that was an unusually dry year.
