A POEM ON Al III K.N
We never had much Inclination
toward poetry, but a couple of weeks
lino, w hile attending the state fire
men's convention at Auburn, on Jan.
18lh, we broke loose and handed the
boys an impromptu one at the ban
quet. The Auburn Republican, in
reporting the banquet, staid as follows:
Among the other speakers there
was not one but honestly expressed
the conviction that Auburn was one
of the greatest entertainers on the
map and that they surely never took
a nap. This feeeling on the part of
the delegates was best evidenced by
the closing poem read by Lloyd
Thomas, editor of the Alliance Herald
and a member of t he state legislature
nnd who also holds the distinction of
being the head of the publicity de
partment of the state volunteer fire
men. Here is the poem:
llere'B to Auburn, the town on the
map;
A sittin' down hero in Nebraska's big
lap.
They say her MASTERS are GOOD
men and true;
Always standin' up fer their neigh
bor, l'eru.
We've sure had a time, boys, the
time of our life;
I'd stay her a year if it wasn't for
wife.
But Bhe knows this convention don't
last past today,
And I've get to git home nnd pile in
the hay. j
We've rid in the autos and slid
down the chutes,
We've hollered and Pang and acted
like brutes.
At the table tonight I see my friend,
KidJELL,
lie's a handsome old dog and he sure
can raisELL.
The Anderson Brothers are fat and
good lookin',
Ami I'd sure like to know who's do-
thelr cookln'.
And there's Preacher Kuudin he
ain't no liar;
lie steals men's hearts here and saves
them from fire.
Harry Hauser's hero too, but 1 don't
enre a rap, '
For him without that big old bear-
skin cap, I
And Webber's so prim and stately
and nice, '
You'd think that at home they'd kept
Kim on ice.
Now, leave off this raving and tear
ing of hair;
It's all in a life time, for good and
for fair.
We like you, dear Auburn, we want
you to know
That all through Nebraska you'll be
the whole show.
For days and for weeks, for months
and for years;
Through periods of laughter and
periods of tears.
You have shown us t he right kind fo
style;
We'll always remember you and once
In a while
We'll pause in our work and think
of tonight,
And the town on the map that treat
ed us right. ,

Henry Carey, a cousin to Queen
Elizabeth, after having enjoyed her
majesty's favor for several years,
lost It in this manner: As he was
walking in the garden of the palace,
under the queen's window, she asked
him In a Jocular manner, "What does
a man think when he Is thinking of
nothing?" The answer was a very
brief one. "Upon a woman's prom
ise," he replied. "Well done, cous
in!" said Elizabeth; "excellent!"
Some time after ho solicited the hon
or of a peerage, and reminded the
queen that' she promised It to him.
"True," said her majesty; "but that
was a woman's promise."
Two young ladles of literary taste
were once discussing their reading,
when one of them remarked: "I have
been engaged with a delightful work
for a week past." "Indeed, what Is
It?" "Anthony Trollope's autobiog
raphy." "Who Is the author?"
"Ileally, I don't know. I have look
ed over the title page nnd thru the
preface, bilt I can't find any refer
ence to the author at all. Whoever
It is is a charming writer, and seems
to have known the novelist very In-
I innately. " "I'll get It and read it,

Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.
That beautiful, iven shade of dark,
glonHV hair enn only ho hnd by browing
a mixture of Sage Tea ami Sulphur.
Your li ii i r i your charm. It makes or
innrs tlie face. When it fuhs, turns
gray or streaked, just nn application or
two of Suge and Sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundredfold.
l)on't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old reeipo im
proved by the addition of other ingredi
ents for 50 cents a largo bottle, all ready
tor use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark
ens so naturally and evenly tlyit nolody
can tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disapveared, and after
another application it becomes beauti
fully dark and appears glossy und lus
trous. This reody-to-use preparation is
a delightful to'let requiste for those who
dcMri dark huir and a youthful apficar
Biice. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

In his early days, when he was a

at Yale a sort of proctor, apparent
ly the late Dr. Timothy Dwight was
called out of his room by some mid
night escapade. He was otdiged us
a matter of duty to pursue the dis
turbers, and with hla long legs he
soon found himself gaining rapidly

voice rang out suddenly into the

Casey had dropped In for a visit
on Callahan, and during the course
of his stay observed that Miss Calla

with Callahan that the latter's
daughter waa putting on entirely too
many airs; so, with a view to discon
certing her, he suddenly asked: "An"
phwat the dlvll is a chafln dish?"
'Chafing dish. Casey," said Callahan,
with a sly wink at his visitor, "a

"Tlif-ro were 6 5 acres in the field
plante 1 to corn and potatoes," writes
Mr. Enyeart. "We handled our corn,
and potato ground just tht? name.
The ground was double disked shal-,
low to get a soil mulch and hold our
moisture. This was all we did to it !
until plowed. While plowing we had
one extra horse hitched to ono section
of a light harrow, this horse walked ,
out on the plowed ground. This har-
rowed the ground twice, just as fast,
as it was plowed. We planted as :
soon as we finished plowing the:
middle of June or later. Potatoes!
were planted with a one-row planter,
1 foot apart. The rows were about i
ns wine as corn rows, vve uippea
all our seed except that planted In
two rows. We found no difference
in the yield of these two rows but
there was quite a difference in the
number of scabbby potatoes.
"We cross-harrowed the whole
field with a heavy harrow as soon ns
we had finished planting. We also
went over It twice with a 2-horse
weeder, before we cultivated. We
cultivated twice, besides using a disc
cultivator to throw dirt on the rows
so the potatoes would not freeze,
thus allowing us to dig them later.
To do this work we took off the in
side and outside disks leaving only
the middle one to cover it. We have
found this a very profitable prac
tice.
"Handling these potatoes in cold
weather almost makes it necessary
that they be stored at shipping points
There are now four storing cellars in
llemingford. I rhould think their
ombined capacity is uWout lf.0,000!
bushels. Farmers, generally, thnlk
too little about handling potatoes us
well as they might, to keep them
from deteriorating. Of course, f ami
rs think the handler can take his
part, nnd no doubt he is trying to do
so but in the outcome of it all we
farmers have to pay the loss. Men
will learn better methods of hand
ling potatoes at these cellars. Let
us hope, also, that all rarmers win
learn some day that dirt weighed to
the buyer is after all paid for most
dearly by themselves."
