OUR MOTTO LIVE AND LLT LIVE
Shall the People
Get What They Pay For
I am going to give you Dear Header some good plain talk
and I trust that it will reach down as far as your pocketbook
To avoid personalities I will use the name Lent for the
name of second party in the following conversation Lem
says Mr Stansberry Mr Hard Knocker says that you do
not carry the best grades of lumber now I want to build
what assurance have I that I will get the grades that my
bill calls for I said Lem that point is well taken the
lumber business is in some respects like the drug busines
you go into a drugstoreund ask for half a pint of Essence of
Juniper Berries and they could give you a half pint of Aqua
Pura and while the effects are far different after taking yet
unless you examined it you would hardly notice the difference
so it is with lumber after you get it in the building and it
commences to shrink and the knots fall out then you notice
the difference Now to answer your question listen to this
I J R Stansberry hereby certify that I will deposit a rea
sonable sum to be agreed upon with the McCook National
Bank of McCook Nebraska as a forfeit if I cannot deliver
out of my yard just as good a grade of lumber as any yard
can in Red Willow county Signed J R Stansberry Now
Lem I am willing to enter into this agreement with every
builder contractor carpenter or purchaser of lumber could
anything be more fair Does Mr Hard Knocker have any
money to back his statements do you think Lem that he is
working his little hammer for fun This is something to
think about think it over and remember money talks and
I am prepared to back every statement that I make and

means to convey to nu my feelings of
satisfaction that you have for so many
years been permitted to enjoy the com
pany each of the other that there has
been granted to you the pleasures that
-come from dutiful children kind friends
aud neiyhbors who believe it you I
remember with very much pleasure the
time I spent under your roof when 1
was a in western
Iowa now more than thirty years ago
and the many kindnesses which wee
then shown to me made an impress
which certainly will never be remover
It is my earnest wish that this celebra
tion whch you will observe although
it marks many years of life together
and many jears of life will by no means
bd the lat of the anniversaries you may
lie permitted to celebrate and that as
there may assemble with youyourchild
ren rand children and thu friends in
that newer country where you now livb
who have come to know you as did
friends in the old home that you may
feul that life in the iounding out of
tries- fifty years has had much in it
upnn which you may look biek with
pleasure and satisfaction
With the very best wishes to both of
you and with good wishi s to all of your
children who were pupils of mine when
taught that little district school aud
the younger child whom I remember
but who had not reached the age of
school training I am
Very sincerely yours

Dear Parents
We certainly regret that we cannot lie
present at your golden wedding We
both feel that we ought to be with you
on this special occasion which seldom
comes to a family and perhaps will
never come to ours again Rut owing
to the open space which separates us
to our business which needs our con
stant and personal attention we are
compelled to remain at home which is
not from choice we assuic ou Never
theless we hope all the other children
can be present and that you will enjoy
yourself hugely even though wo cannot
be there and when che day ore you
will continue jour wedded happiness to
a ripe old age Geo and Angik

Reckless Pranks Played With
Heavenly Bodies
IMPOSSIBILITIES IN NATURE
A Rainbow Depicted Wrong Side Out
and Moons In Positions and Forms
That Could Not Occur Amusing
Anachronisms by Old Time Artists
That artists like authors should
commit many errors of fact Is hardly
a cause for wonder Rather it is as
tonishing that they are not found of
tener at fault in view of the great
variety of knowledge required lu their
work Despite this however there Is
no manuer of excuse for certain ab
surdities
for example there Is the ease of an
English painter who depicted an elab
orate rainbow Unfortunately he
painted it wrong side out But we
1
forget amusement at such stupidity In
admiration for the artists magnificeut
1 audacity when we learn that ue
charged 20 additional for repainting
j the rainbow colored in accordance
with natures arrangement I
Pahiters are very prone to distress
the astronomers by their reckless
I pranks with the heavenly bodies par
ticularly wiui mo moon uul
presented a scene in which was a
crescent moon low in the eastern sky
directly opposite a setting sun More
over this genius disdained the criti
cisms of the learned He insisted that
this arrangement was necessary for
the composition inasmuch as the rest
of the picture would be destroyed by
a full moon the only one possible In
such a sltuatiou
Other artists have trifled with the
moon by turning its convexity away
from the sun which is of course im
possible in nature In one picttire the
moon was placed near the
j tion of the Great Bear though as a
matter ot fact the satellite never ven
tures into this part of the heavens
There Tare too oft recurring errors
made iu the bulk of the orb An
American astronomer amused himself
by measuring the moons in a number
of paintings He established the fact
that by reckoning from the satellites
size the average height of the hills in
these landscapes was forty three
miles One of the mountains indeed
had the stupendous altitude of a hun
dred miles
Artists of old time were often out
rageously wrong sometimes necessari
ly by reason of the limitations imposed
by the ignorance of the period A
Dutch artist painted the garden of
Eden with well clipped borders and
yew trees trimmed into fantastic
shapes He wrought In all innocence
for of such sort were the only gardens
of his experience But the excuse
does not apply to a Dutch painting of
1794 This showed Abraham about to
slaughter Isaac by means of a blunder
bussthe product jf an age 3000
years after the lime of the patriarchs
Yet this mistake occurs again and
again There have been elaborate
paintings of the children of Israel
crossing the Red sea with muskets on
their shoulders A beautiful ivory
tankard an Augsburg carving of the
early seventeenth century was sold
for a high price in London not long
ago The design which is exquisite
In workmanship shows the good Sa
maritan with his attendants In the
Jericho road One of the servants
carries a gun
Many a child as well as some older
persons has puzzled over that beam
in the eye of which the New Testa
ment speaks It is not always under
stood that this means a beam of light
But it was left to Solomon Bernard
in his woodcuts illustrating the Bible
published at Lyons in 1533 to picture
this beam as one of wood rectangular
in section and several feet in length
The matter of costumes offers vast
opportunity for flaws which the paint
ers have not failed to seize In the
national gallery at Edinburgh Pha
raohs daughter and her accompanying
women are exhibited garbed in the
long waisted bodices and hooped
skirts of Europe in the sixteenth cen
fury The national collection in Lon
don has a picture of Joseph and his
kindred iu Egypt where the buildings
shown are not at all Egyptian in their
style of architecture but distinctly
Italian In the same gallery Paolo i
Veroneses The Family of Darius at
the Feet of Alexander After the Battle
of Issus displays the women of the
group in the pointed waists and I
ed skirts that made the familiar dress
of Venetian women in the painters
time
Errors that have to do with armor
may be more readily pardoned though
the artists fail lamentably in knowl
edge as to the earlier forms of metal
protection Thus in some paintings
showing the time of Christ the war
riors are seen clad in beautifully da
mascened mail yet this form of armor
did not come into actual use until half
a thousand years later
Similarly in other pictures of Christs
time monks are portrayed in their
robes with tonsures In fact how
ever they did not exist in the church
prior to the fourth century A D
A curious illustration of the limita
tions set on genius by circumstance is
exhibited in one of the worlds most
famous paintings The Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci simply did not
know that the table the cloth the
plates the knives and forks and salt
cellars were Impossibilities in the
scene he designed to portray The
eastern people of that age who were
his subjects used no table no chairs
no forks but squatted about a common
dish and ate from it with their fingers

In a Drop of Ink
When applied to the newspaper page
they make people think twice
First people think theres a man who
keeps up with the procession
Second they think he must keep
good goods on hand
Again if the home paper has enough
drops of advertising ink ou its surface
to make a proper showing the outsider
thinks this must be a pretty lively
