Indian Decamps From
Alliance Leaving An
UnDaid Bill for Feed
Georire Nation ha a new rule and
ruide to commerce these days, which
is to collect cash in advance from In
dian customers. One of the Tine Ridge
braTe, camped in South Alliance dur
ing the spud picking weapon, purchased
feed for his horse from Mr. Nation, to
the amount of $12. When his job
craned he left without further ado and
loo without paying for the feed.
Mr. Nation got in touch with Sheriff
Wilier, and together they sought the
trail of the thoughtless redskin. They
wp re informed that a bunch of In
dians had left tor Chadrarr Wednesday
mom'ng, and they took up the trail,
catching up with them at Dunlap. on
the Niobrara river. There Mr. Nation
gave them the once-over and discover
ed that the man wanted was not in
the bunch. The Indians In the party
imparted the information that the man
sought had gone the opposite direction,
to Scott.blu(T. The expense of a trip
to the sugar metropolis was some
seven or eight dollars more than the
f 12 feed bill, and the chase was reluc
tantly abandoned. However, another
season is coming, and there is one red
kin that will find the sheriff waiting
for him if he returns.

The days of Clothes Carelessness are gone
The careful dresser who is concerned about the last-'
ing quality and upkeep of his or her clothes, is no longer
content to use the ordinary kind of cleaning and tailoring
service.
He is wise enough to know that ordinary methods of
cleaning his high priced clothes does not give them the
snappy new appearance that an up-to-the-minute clean
ing plant can.
For these reasons the Model Cleaners and Tailors is
coming to be the consistent choice of the better dressers
of Alliance. Our better service and greater economy is
so obviously apparent that sending one suit or dress to us
for a trial makes a permanent customer.

The weather was bracing as Marge
walked home from the Daysvllle pout
olliee, jet her footsteps lagged. In
her hand were two bulky letters. To
the kindly neighbors, who took much
Interest In Marge and her career,
theae letters always fat ones were a
joy.
Marge wns an authoress, you mast
understand. Oh, yes, she wrote uiauy,
many stories; but only she knew that
tney were all uimuhtUhed. The vll
Inge folk thought the reuson she r.
fused to talk about her stories was
a uiodext one. They did not under
Maim the meaning of the thick envel
opes which contained rejected manu
scripts.
Three years ago Marge hnd a love
anair. All Diiysvllle had known It
and hnd thrilled at It. Then one day.
In the city paper's society puge, there
hnd been on announcement: "Mln
Kay fey Ituian betrothed to Mr. Rob
ert JSenedict."
"Ills" name I Marge's sweetheart!
Everyone was Indignant; and Marga
wrote iilm a brief note telling him
never to try to see her azaln.
Those three long years had gone
oy slowly. And Marge, now an ar
dent nian-hnter of twenty-two, was en
authoress. Yet her works could hard'
ly be called stories: they were sat
Ires. All the scorn she felt for "man"
she , embodied In her manuscripts.
"Love!" she would say. "Love!
Everyone writes of it, sings of It
dreams of It. Not I! Here Is ona
who would not write of love, but will
laugn at It. It's nothing but a farce,
anyway I" And she really thought she
Deiieved It. ,
Consequently, back came all her
stories, accompanied by a polite little
rejection slip.
In the city, Dob Benedict had risen
from a newsDtiper reporter to assist
ant manager and editor of a short
story magazine. And. while read I no
some of the numerous manuscripts
one day, he came upon one written by
a Marge Wilcox of Diiysvllle. It was
no other than the girl who had
"thrown him over" without an ex
planatlont With Increased Interest
he reread the story that ridiculed love
mm men.
"Jove, but she's bitter 1 Mavbe
some one Jilted her, as she did me.
Mie deserves It but no. confound it I
She must have had a good reason," he
mused.
At length he persuaded the editor
to let him experiment, and send the
following letter:
"Dear Maadm : We read Tour un
tisunl story, 'Green Apples,' with much
interest. Although at present we can
riot use the story, we would like to
nave, some time In the near future, an
opportunity to talk with you about
kJWIA H ..1.1. I . m. . &
ovriii7 nvim jvu ling ll UO IOr US. f
" ery truly yours,
"THE EDITOR."
When Marge received this letter she
was overioyed. In fuct. she almost
changed her 'opinion of men. She want
ed to go to the editor the next dav
but, of course, that would look too
enjrer. so she waited two whole days.
All n-tremble, she reached the build
lng where the magazine was published
She" told the office boy that the ed
Itor hnd asked her to call. He was
not at till Impressed, but. Indifferently,
lok her name; toward the editorial of
flee.
"The editor Is out, miss, but the as
sistant will see you." he suld, when he
returned.
"Hob !" she gaed, whep she opened
the door and saw who wus iu the
room. "You !"
"Why, Marge!" exr-lalmed the as
sistant editor, try ng to look very
much surprised, and to control his
snaking knees.
"Y ou wanted to see me 1 mean, the
editor wrote me the letter will ex-
pluln she imssed him the letter.
"Ah, yes, Miss Wilcox," he suld. very
"editorially." "Won't you sit down?
e feel you heve talent, and are wast-
Ing yourself on this satire stuff. What
the public WiintH l8 the love Interest
or human Interest. Now, a good whole
some love story stands more "
"If you wished to see me to tell
me to write love stories, 1 might Just
us well be going. For 1 don't Intend
to write any," she said, defluntlv.
"You don't need to write love stories,
but you do need to have stories with
milium interest.
-Are you trying to tell me my
stories are Inhuman?" the girl de
claimed.
"No, but I think you were Inhuman
when you wrote me that letter three
years ago with nary an explanation."
"Why, why " stammered Marge,
completely overwhelmed by the unex
pectedness of the remark. "The an.
nouncement in the paper," she suld
ameiy.
"What announcement?" snapped the
assistant editor.
"Your engagement."
"I never was engaged to anyone but
you. and never will be. Didn't it ever
occur to you that someone else might
lear the Mime name that I do? And
rememler this, young woman, you're
not going away from this city till a
certain Judge friend of mine grants
me a special license and a certain min
ister says certain words binding ones,
too.
"Don't you know, dear, that we
cun't live successfully without love.
Just as we can't write successfully
without It?"
And ut lust Marge did understand.
No Postponement of -Railroad
Strike, But
It May Be Settled
The prospective rail strike cannot be
postponed, but it can be settled. This
was the opinion of the four bif?
brotherhood chiefs and the president
cf the switchmen's union after a con
ference Thursday mornino; at Chicago
at which it was learned they had con
sidered all phases of the situation as
they may be presented at the meeting
wiht the United States railroad board.
Union headquarters was optimistic
and there was stronjrly evident a
feeling- that there will be no strike
unless something1 unexpected occurs
to disrupt the conference.
The eleven so-called "standard"
unions marked time awaiting the out
come of the labor board meeting.
NEW YORK. Oct. 20. Proceeding
as if they expected failure oi the1
railroad labor board in its efforts
to prevent the threatened rail strike
by a conference in Chicago with B:gl
rive nrotnernoofi chiefs, members of
the eastern presidents' conference met
here today to lay plans for meeting
the strike on eastern and New England
railroads.
Although they professed to .ee
some hope of peace through the labor
board's efforts, the railroad heads de
clared that with strike orders already
issued they could not afford to delay
their plans to see what the Chicasro
conference would bring; forth.
Advertisements calling for men to
take the places of possible strikers
have been prepared by all the rail
roads centering here, and these, it
was reported, would be g-iven to
newspapers during the day.
Several of the railroads have sent
out circular letters to their employes,
urginpr them to think carefully before
they join the proposed strike and not
"be misled in this matter."
Iossi Believes He Has
Record Spud Yield in
Box Butte County
Iossi Bro have what they believe
are mighty good spud yields. Seventy
acres of Early Ohios yielded from 90
to 165 bushels per acre, and S. J. Iossi
had seven acres of Red Triumphs
which yielded 190 bushels to the acre.
These were from certified seed. Mr.
lotsi thinks this the best spud yield
in the county and if there are any
better ones, would be glad to hear
about them.

this week shipped out the second ear
of No. 1 fancy spuds that have been,
shipped from the state.

Burglarious Rat
' Deputy Sheriff Tom Miskimen re

Mr. Miskimen made an investigation
