. THE ALLIANCE HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921 t i RANDOM SHOTS rerc Cogswell tells of swing a man ? Ta ?m hu"RTy tht he ate bis cuits just like popcorn. This talk of equality of the sexes is ll bunk. A Minneapolis man sued his wife for divorce and got it, but the judge denied him alimony. Another Omaha woman, who was in a nervous, run-down condition, drag ging along with one foot in the grave and the other foot skidding, has been brought back to life and health and strength and beauty by a certain ptent patent medicine. For the first correct guess forwarded to this office by registered mail, a prize of our last summer's straw hat will be awarded. The potash industry may yet be favel to western Nebraska. Eminent Chicago scientists advocate the substi tution of potash salts for common table salt, and if the fad should spread, the plants next door will be kept running day and night. ' A former Alliance mon on a visit here last week informed friends that he has a new accomplishment and he's only been away from the city for six or seven months. He now dines with a brand-new set of "store toofies." A new variation of the wheeze: . "Horatio, get the hammer there's a flq on baby's head" has come to liirht. It goes this way: "Dorothy, stop kick ing the baby in the face those are your new shoes." Three or four months ago, an Alli ance golfer on the home links made a long drive. The little white ball jump ed over the fance and went through the windshield on a Ford car. The golfer was willing to pay the bill, but couldn't find the owner of the car and in time forgot all about it Last week Harry Gantz and Mike Nolan were golfing and Mike drove one through the same fence, and it found a resting place in a car. This reminded Harry of the previous occasion, and he told it. "Great Scotland," said Mike, "I've been looking for three months for the fellow who ruined my windshield." Harry is buying cokes a3 a penalty lor spilling the beans. The fellow who imagines he's indis pensable, even when two or three of Lis friends tell him so, is making a sad error. Marriage, we understand, plays hob Vmth the golf score. NINE The Platte Valley Daily News (ScottsblutT, of course) simply cannot understand why Elsie Ferguson should be so popular in the. east and fall so flat in the west. Yet the title of her picture in that city was "Sacred and Profane Ixve."

ELLSWORTH The funeral of Patrick Welch, who met death in the auto accident here faunday night, was held at St Ber nard's church at 9:30 a. m. WpHnos. day. Mr. Welch having been born and raised in this section of the sand hills was well and favorably known and many of his hosts of friends were present at the services in charge of Father Constant of Alliance. Heartfelt sympathy go out to the relatives of the deceased in their hour of sorrow.

Intoxicated with Joy, . fol lowed by rejoicing and sympathetic neighbors and even strangers, brought by the little man's enthusiasm. "Ttens! little one I Here are silks, and satins, horses and carriages, ser vants and mansions, for you I Whnt! asleep, little one?" and In spite of his elation he tiptoed across the room to the pale, still figure on the rude couch q still one, could almost fancy ah, 'No!

Silent the rejoicing neighbor for the little Matle had passed to the Ilonse of Many Mansions, through the Gates of Jssper. the Streets of Gold. Awestruck and abashed the crowd pr.ssed slowly from the room, leaving the stricken linshand three starving, whimpering children ptteousty crying for Just a crust of bread and a floor strewn with glittering gold coins.
