One noticeable thing in connection
with tile band concert on Sunday
afternoon whs thogreattrappreelatlon
of the sacred selections. We hear
many high compliments for these sa
cred pieces nml no mention of the
lighter strains. This would indicate
that on Siindny our people very much
prefer to listen to music in keeping
with the day.
There are few towns where the
stoics ptcscnt a more pleading appear
ance tlinii those of our town. Our
merchants take a piidein the appear
ance of their lespeetive places of busi
ness and such pride is certainly com
mendahle. That is not all, they car
ry good, clean stocks of metchandlsu
and their imputation for fair dealing
draw a spiudid patronage from the
burioundlug tcriitory.
There is a certain joy in doing any
thing well. The carpenter that makes
a good joint derives his joy and pleas
ure fioin the Work performed to ids
own satisfaction. His pay is incident
al. Ho it is with the blacksmith and
the gardener. What ever otie does
the real enjoyment comes from the
knowledge that that paitlculHr piece
of work was done right and is n credit
to the workman. "Whatever you
1o, do with your might; things done
by halves are never done right."
The editors in this neck o' the
woods aie right up among the bright
lights in the editor's convention down
in the village of Omaha. Col. Matthews
of the Rivcttoii l.cticw had a half
tone fuc simile of ids handsome
countenance ;lt the top of the page,
next to pure leading matter, in the
Omaha Dee, and our boss, according
to the Wot Id Herald, Happed Ills
wings in ttue spread eagle style. We
look for nn increase in our pay enve-po?
' An editor is a ciosa between early
piety and cranky old age. He never
Bwears in ttie paper without abbrevia
ting a dash. Ho lolls along like a
tttone gathering moss until the lumba
go strikes into his back. The gather
ing of wealth has but u faint hope and
shadowy "might be" In his mind He
lives from day to day in the hope of
getting conscience money from his
subscribers who owe him seveial
years of subscriptions, but the sub
scriber sleeps well every night while
lie struggles on and always has some
thing coming.

'When the cat's away tho mien will

fying journal of Information speculat
ed considerably on the feasibility of
playing hob with these columns while
the boss is in Omaha at tho great meet
ing of the Nebraska editors. Wo
could mix tbo adds, twist the locals,
roast tho authorities and raise a storm.
We planned this all to onr own satis
faction but the.ofllcers are stlil here,
the boss is coming back and we can
not get out of town. Wo didn't do it
but some of these warm days just

S. It. Fiorance. City Treasurer.
Lor! Lor! Jabez," mumbled the,
old woman, tho wngon wheels creak
ing a fitting accompaniment to her
high, shrill voice, "I'm sheered wcuns
won't never git tor the hill kentry.
.Hit soomB a powerful long way off."
A man and woman, both past tho
middle ago, plodded wearily along
in tho dust and heat, the woman
near tho rear of tho wagon, the man
at the horse's head.
"Wc-uns '11 get thar nil right,
mother," answered her husband, en
couragingly, after a little Rpaco of
Kilcncp, "by ter-morrow we-unj ought
tor seo tho bluo hills onct 'mo' by
noon tor-morrow."
The spent horao Btaggcred to tho
'sldo of the road, and began to nib
ble at a Htnall paich of green un-
dur tho shade of a protecting hush.
The man waited.
"That's right, Baldy eat all you
unB kin," ho said, kindly. "Illt'e n
right nmart Journey, ylt, but we-unn
'11 git thar, mother, don't yo fret," ho
added, confidently.
Tho horse, somewhat refreshed by
tho mouthful or two of green grass,
started again on Its slow Journoy'down
tho whlto stretch of dusty road.
In the afternoon they reached n city
that lay In tho path of their Journey.
Tho noise and movement confused
the old couple -tho sight of many
strange faces struck them with a
mighty sonso of loneliness and soli
tude tho country and tho hills they
sought were as familiar friends, but
the hurrying crowds seemed pitiless
and apart from them. There was a
certain friendliness in nature that was
altogether lacking in tho busy haunts
of man.
Besides, to theso two, the city was
symbolical of nil that was evil, and
cruel, and callous. Was it not a city
possibly this very one that had
swallowed in its insatiable maw nn
Innocent girl that tills old couple had
cherished and called daughter?
Littlo wonder that they now looked
about thorn with awo and dread, an'l
wero eager to n,ult tho hot, noisy
strecto and reach the open fields once
more.
, The man chirruped a kindly note of
encouragement to tho worn-out hoi so.
In response tho faithful nulninl quick
ened Its slow pt-co for a fow steps, nnd
thon suddenly wont down on tho hard
stonc3 of tho street to rise no more.
In helpless apathy tho couple
stopped, bewildered and dazed, then as
tho full enormity of tho disaster
dawned on tho woman's mind, she
Hung herself down on her knees, nnd
tried vulnly to lift tho head of the
dying animal into her lap, calling en
troatlngly: "Ikildy! Italdy! you-uns ain't a-goln'
ter leave we-uns,hero? Tho hill ken
try ain't but a littlo pleco off Jes ter
morrow. Can't yo take wo-uns only
thar Jos' thar?"
' "No, mother, he's at tho end of bit
Journey n'rendy," said tho man, gently.
ub ho bent to undo tho patched and
mended harness from tho motionless
animal. As ho spoko ho brushed his
hand furtively acrosB his weather-beaten
faco. .
A crowd of tho curious and Idle be
gan to gather, somo with flippant Jests
at tho forlorn plight of tho two travel
ers, others touched with pity at the
tragic qualities of tho scene.
Tho old woman arose and looked
helplessly from one face to another,
understanding only that each ono was
strange, and that tho hill "kentry" was
yot far away.
"We-unB kern from Injiana," b1i
said, In her slow, drawling tones, ns
tho crowd pressed nearer. "My1 son,
Jim, lives thar him an his wifo an'
ton children. We-unti went out thar
ter live, hut Jim's wifo, sho warn't
wlliin', an' so wo-uns started back tor
tho hill kentry, whenco wo-uns kom.
Jim, though, lie warn't to blame.
"Lor', strangers, we-uns hope none
o' youn-uns '11 over know what hit is
ter bo In trouble liko this, nn' olo, nn'
poV
Her simple story seemed suddenly
to arouse a wavo of sympathy that
Bwept over tho motley crowd. Ono
brawny young workman, with the
memory of a mother's lovo still fresh
In hie heart, took oft his hat, and
dropping Into it a liberal offering,
passed tho hat from ono to another,
while a showor of silver and hills fell
into it, as It by a magician's skill.
Even a poor creature of thoistreets,
with haggard faco and sin-haunted
.eyes, cast her last coin among tho
others, then pressed her way through
tho crowd to eeo tho ones who might
bo moro wretched than she.
Tho two women ,looked -Into each
other's eyes tho ono pair brimming
over with new-born gratitude tho oth
er dim with awakened conscience, and
Ihen tho younger woman throw herself
down at tho dusty, tired feet of the
elder, and kissing tho wrinkled hand,
cried out:
"Mother, tuko mo back to tho hill
countt y with you!"
