J I 5 ! 1 i it 1 ' f -1 ft Xlo'o Column We wouldn't mention It to anyone, ealy it's too pood to koop. You know, Charlie, that since the knnt t aft season started, dozeaa of Alli ance nlmroda have been ovt and tkat most of them have been very suc cessful In bagging the limit of wild ame every trip, taut Sunday, ao we are told by a reliable authority, ive of our young men Journled forth to the lakes all equipped with every thing reeded from wadera to chew lag gum, ready for a big day. Two f the Ave young men were kuatera f the flrRt class (to hear them tell tke story), while the other three were rather new at the game. Oa arriving at the lakes the two hunt ers assumed lendershla and with great care and precision placed each f the other three In a nice secluded series of spots among the rashes, be side the water, where the ducks were "sure to fly." The plan was for the two leaders to go to the other end of tke lake and start shooting, driving tke ducks directly down en tke bid den novices, who were then to have seme "easy picklns". After seeing that the lucky trio were safety en sconced out of sight among the reeds and rushes (like Moses, la the Bible story), the hunters wended their way carefully on their bended knees, to the upper end of the lake where the little ducklets were e.aiettr and aasuspectingly feeding a, fat worms aid dreaming dreams of the sunny southland. On arriving there they started the war and bang, bang, bang went the guns. Swish, swish, swish went the ducks for the otter end of the lake but lo, and heboid, whoa they settled down on the ulet wat ers near the aforementioned trio, there were no shots. After waiting, half an hour in the hot san. the hinters became disgusted and wend ed their way back. Holy atneke and rabber Jumpln' Jehoeoa-hata, the trio had become tired aad aM were fast asleep, while aronad the above them hovered the dncka, fair ly begging to be shot Tke ensuing conversations between the two and the three sounded worse than a Oer man bomardment. Today there are three cheery lads with sunburned faces working at their tasks la our easy little burg and there are two hunters who will always remember the "big bunt" that didn't take place. y t r t r f f t An exchange in glancing over the tapers has discovered a n amber of eases where persons have been in- j J a red in various parts of the anato-i my. Here are a few cases cited: While Miss Pearl Klnsmore, of Bast Wing, Indiana, was coming dowa stairs she slipped and bruised her self on the landing. Amos Mlttleby, ' of Woolpost, Kansas, while harness ing a fractious horse was kicked Just south of the corn crib. He is able to be about again. White Harold Green, of Oeulah, MlssUisipei, was escorting Miss Goof home from a church sociable Saturday night a navage dog set upon them and bit Mr. Green four times ia the public square. Joseph Tutt, of Grtmroel ourg, Iowa, climbed oa the roof of , his house last week to find a leak, 1 and slipped and fell, striking on his bark porch and causing serious ia juries. f Here's a good one, comaoset by a booster: A good many men get ua early at the alarm of a Connecticut clock, button their Chicago suspen ders to Detroit overalls, put oa a pair of cowhide shoes made in Ohio, waiii in a Pittsburg tin basin, using Cincinnati soap, dry their hands and fac on a cotton lovel made in New Hampshire, sit down to a Grand Rae- f it :t it ids table, eat biscuits made or Min neapolis flour and Kansas City bacon and Indiana grits fried In Omaha lard, cooked on a St. touts stove, bay canned fruits put np in Califor nia seasoned with Rhode Island spic es, clap on a wool hat made in Phil adelphia, harness their Missouri mules, fed on Kansas corn, with a New York harness, and plow tbelr farms covered with Massachusetts mortgages with an Indiana plow. At night they crawl under a New Jersey blanket and are kept awake by local dogs, the only home products on the place, and then wonder why the ountry doesn't flourish why other tnu are ahead of theirs why A money is so scarce and why jobs are so hard to una. O, you tax assessors. Listen ta tola. Rood people. The reports at the assessors on the number or auto mobiles In Douglas couatf, of which Omaha Is the county seat, and Lan caster county, ot which Lincoln is the county aeat. Bets the rest of the sute to wondering where all the ac ta in these populous aad prosperoas eltlea ot our fair state are htddea or how so many auto owners "get by" the assessor. Douglas caunty, in eluding Omaha, Is credited with the enormous number of 113 automo biles. Omaha is short oa autos. Isn't she? Little Sarpy county, oa the south, has 112 and Washington county on the north has 4 IS. Laa caster county, includlsg Lincoln, ia credited with 286 while Otoe county n the east Is credited with 836 and Seward county on the went with &ST. Better get some new assessors la the two aforementioned coaatiea. An Alliance school teacher aaked her class of girls to write a coai pos ition on boys. Here is one of the answers turned in: Boys is men that have get as big as their papas, and tarts la young women that will be yoaag ladies by-and-by. Man was made befere wo man. When God looked at Adaaa he said to himself: "Well, I guess I can do better than that If I tried again, ana tnen be snaae IS re so much better than he did Adast that there haa been more wemea In the world ever since. Boys are a trou . ble. They are very wearing on ev erything but soap. If I coald have my way half the boys sa the world would be little girls aad the other half dolls.
