An editorial in last week's Herald in regard to hypnotism was not intended as a leflection upon any local enter tainments that have been given in Al liance recently. In fact it was written without anv reference to or thought of the same, The sentiments expressed, however, we believe are correct, but it would probably be more agreeable to change the wording somewhat. Instead of calling traveling showmen, who practice hypnotism, "mountebanks" it might sound better to call them atnatures.

CONTRIBUTED Obituary Telling of the Death Miss Nellie Allen of Nellie Margaret Allen was born in Colorado Nov. 17, 1891, and died in Alliance, Neb.. Nov. 18, 1909, aged eighteen years, one day. She was con verted to God and joined the Baptist church at Boulder, Colo., in 1891. In 1904 she came with her parents to this city where she united with the Meth odist Episcopal church in whobe fellow- ship she lived until her decease. Her last moments were spent in prayer, and in its atmosphere she passed into the presence of Him to whom the voice of penitent prayer is sweetest music. That she had many appreciative friends is attested by the large attend ance at the funeral obsequies, which occurred at the M. E. church at 2 p. m., Sunday, Noy. 21, 1909. Interment was at Greenwood cemetery where she was laid to rest in the presence of loved ones, who confidently expect to meet her in glory. It is gratifying to know that in the celestial home criticisms, cold aud cruel, carping and unjust, are never uttered; the venomous tongue of the slanderous gossip never heard. The bereaved ones may be assured of the tender regards of many who "weep with them," as they mourn the departure of their loved one, and "re joice with them ' as they rejoice at the thougjit of her final coronation. J. L. Vallow, Pastor M. E. church. Any Name Would Do. A dignified gentleman was trying to read in a crowded railroad train.

The intoxicated individual who, after bumping into the same tree thirteen times, bemoaned the fact that he was lost in an impenetrable forest, is no greater disgrace to modern civilization than the hero of this story: A citizeu of Seattle who had looked upon the wine when he was no longer sure what color It was, in the course of his journey home encountered a tree protected by an iron tree guard. Grasping the bars, he cautiously felt his way around it twice. "Curse it!" he moaned, sinking to the ermmrl i despair. "Locked in!"
