Nothing will sooner assure tho location

lican Valley than tho increasing of tho
irrigation facilities and capacities of the

matter rests upon tho building of dams
and tho impounding of tho large amount
of water which now flows past us un

the floor vomiting blood and showing
alarming signs of possiblo dissolution
While the summoned medics were work

brethren and sisters gathered about and
sang We Will Meet in Heaven This j
prospect was too much for the ailing
woman and she soon showed signs of
improvement and seems destined for
some time to disappoint the brethren on

Bonds in these lines in response to a ques
tion lately propounded in these columns
You ask who on this earth can find
The key to that which we call mind
And hold it where it can bo seen
TIiib thing you call the thought machine
The solving of lifes sums dear Bis
Is not found in the almanix
Nor is it found in schools of thought
Nor round tho Joints where booze is bought
But man may truly pierce the dim
DarkTeil that hides himself from hini
When once ho grasps tho thought that ho
Is something more than what you sec
That this the thing you call tho man
Is simply part of sorao wise plan
To clothe tho soul with ltuman raion
And evoluto a thought machine
You cannot seo the raging wind
Nor penetrate witli finite mind
Tho riddle of tho universe
Although you can write peerless verse
But as you read these punky lines
Just look within and note the signs
That may adviso you how to find
The spot whore dwells tho human mind
And how the subtle essence sends
Its messages to foes and friends
It is not in your teeming brain
You find tho spark that lights the train
Nor thinking oft of Adams sin
But look within just look within
And some day youll not have to fix
For warmer times across the Styx

A SERMON TO SUIT
The Folic Who Paid For ilio Dla
conrnc Got What They Wanted
Many Maine people who live in a
certain part of Cumberland county will
well remember one Abner so he was
always culled in his town Abner was
the wit of the village and he was
commonly selected to take eh Tge of
funerals because he was abrut the
only man In town who had time hang
ing on his hands A citizen died a man
who never amounted to much who
ras never positively wicked because
that would have required more of au
effort than he was willing to make
He was however far enough from be
ing a good citizen and Abner knew it
as well as anybody else
Abner was requested to ask a certain
minister to conduct the service and he
hitched up his old horse and drove to
his house The minister said he would
attend and then tried to get a little in
formation concerning the late lament
ed
What sort of a man was he he
asked
Well about the same as no sort of
a man at all replied Abner frankly
I suppose his loss will be deeply
felt in the community said the min
ister
Theyre all bearing up well under
it said Abner slowly
Was he a Christian asked the
minister
If hed been accused of it the ver
dict would have been not guilty and
the jury wouldnt have left their seats
replied Abner cheerfully
Did he attend church asked the
minister a bit anxiously
I never heard of his doing it said
Abner
How did be die continued the
minister
Just the Fame as he lived sort of
naturally said Abner
I dont see how Im to preach much
of a sermon under such circumstances
said the minister
The neighbors all said they didnt
think they wanted much of a sermon
ami so they sent me over to see you
said Abner
The minister pocketed his wrath and
a five dollar bill and after the funeral
the satisfied Abner said Well we got
just what we wanted bgosh Lewis

POULTRY POINTERS
Game chickens have more meat in
proportion to their height than any
other breed of fowls
When the chickens are growing fast
it is a good plan to mix a little bone-
meal in their soft feed
Smearing whole wheat with kerosene
or turpentine and feeding it to the
chickens is a good remedy for gapes
Adding some carbolic cid and put
ting on hot will secure much better re
sults from the whitewashing of the
poultry house
While it is at no time advisable to
keep food of any kind before the fowls
all the time it will be an advantage to
keep milk where they can drink all
they want
Fowls do not run together in large
numbers They will always divide into
flocks of small size and will select dif
ferent feeding grounds always pro
vided they have the opportunity
A growing chicken like a growing
animal requires plenty of good whole
some food supplied liberally and often
in order to enable them to grow and
mature rapidly and to develop proper-
There Was n Limit
I am glad they moved away re
marked the good housewife speaking
of a family of borrowing neighbors
who had just left the neighborhood I
was willing to lend them a loaf of
bread occasionally or half a dozen eggs
or the washboard or the lemon
squeezer but when they got down to
sending the little girl over to borrow
pennies to give the organ grinder I
began to think it was nearly time to
draw the line and to cap the climax
one day they actually asked me to
come over and take care of the baby
while they went out to do the shop

Orleans to St Francis
Orleans Neb Jan 15 1003 Special
to The TniBUNEThe Burlington turn
tables at Atwood and St Francis Kan
sas are to be reconstructed and enlarged
to accommodate engines of tho Pig
class which will replace tho small locomo
tives now running on tho branch In
creased traffic and heavier tonnage de
mand more powerful machines to haul
long and heavy trains so freight will not
be delayed and savo doubling heavy
grades The only objection seems that
tho steel rails of the St Francis branch
are too light to stand tho weight of these
engines
Material to rebuild the Atwood turn
table has arrived at that point
Emigrants are coming up the branch
and locating on the stock ranges west of
Atwood
St Francis has many tons of broom
corn baled and ricked along the track in
the yards waiting for suitable cars to
convey same to market
Two stock trains came down tho branch
a week ago cattle and hogs for Kansas
City market This country is a peer to
any in the West for live stock industry
Some time ago nearly 6000 head of sheep
from New Mexico were unloaded at
Cedar Bluffs Kansas for local feeders
The sheep industry is gradually increas
ing One of the best ranches in North
western Kansas and Southwestern Ne
braska is located at Marion Nebraska
and it is a paying enterprise
Marion Nebraska will soon have a
general store Marion does a heavy
shipping in baled alfalfa and wheat and
pays tho company more than certain
stations that have trackage and station
houses
Atwood has now an additional bank
and lumber yard This county seat was
never more prosperous than at present
not a vacant house or store room in town
The Rockefeller McDonald and Dewey
ranches are near this point All million
aire syndicates
Beaver City Nebraska is a city of tho
second class since last year and she is
very proud of it It has the largest busi
ness and heaviest mail of any point on
the branch
Swift has a branch poultry house at
Orleans has the bulk of the business of
the branch and a few weeks ago had
14 men employed Orleans has now a
cold storage the property of an Omaha
brewing company Hans Miller has it in

Saturday night Fifty new telephones
are being put in by Judge Keester of

The St Francis ice house had recent
ly sixteen carloads of ice loaded therein
a special train of company ice
Orleans has been and still is harder
hit by the coal famine than any town on
the branch or in this territory If a
blizzard would set in the people here
would be in a terrible condition Of
twenty car loads of coal contracted since
July only a few have shown up and the
coal supply is a hand to hand concern
