THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1920. FIVE Random Shots ed a dlrorce, and all the evidence she had was the following letter, a half-and-half mixture 01 English and French: "Mjr gentll, gentll cher. I love you, mon amour. I love you, tnon cher, Je desire vous toujours avec mot. - Nous Herons - heureau u Je kiss you, encore, encore, encore." Our barber nearly precipitated a riot last Sunday. He attended a wedding, as a witness, you under stand, and after the minister had finished his awful work, and had re ceived his fee, and while all he bride's feminine relatives were weep ing, and the happy couple stood under the wedding bell, he stepped up to the. groom and spoke as fol lows: "Brother, congratulations. Married life will be happy if you ob- serve the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Remember, no fighting In the clinches, strangle holds barred and positively no horseshoes In the driven." Does hare a mushy sound, doesn't it? "Encore" means "again." Who said It was a hard life la the trenches T After we got to reading I, we found out thut Prissy recomends eat ing one day and fasting the next. . We knew there was a catch In it some place. Harry Oantt was apltated when he ran across al lthose open doors lead ing out from the Lackey cell. He thought they were going throw him out, for a minute. to Why do women weep at a wed ding, anyway? " For the best answer to this question, written In purple ink on green paper, as befits a seri ous subject, we will award a suitable prize, to be selected by the hand some op. ' Advice to A. E. F. soldiers: Go through your trunk immediately and weed out letters that may be used against you. The wife of a captain of engineers has been grant- A certain friend of ours had one of those letters but explained it b saying that it was from a twelve-year-old girl at whose home he had boarded. There Is something to this ralsi i stuff. A news report from Kenosha, Wis., says that four students and two teachers were expelled or fired because they were discovered experi menting with the restive raisin. If some kind friend will present us with a perfectly good recipe, we'll promise that it will be UBed only In extremely urgent cases. The governor told all tne high school students to "work and save." We didn't hear whether he was ap plauded. The "old stuff" doesn't seem to work as well as It used to. Probably he thought there was dant.ur ui tolas thinking he had tried a new way to get his client released T Maybe he was thinking of the fee that he'd lose.- Anyhow, it was a close shave. Harp isn't the only Alliance man who would like to find that two-story brick house. The visiting brother didn't give very definite directions. Some folks are cautious. OLD NEWSPAPER A IIKL1U OP THE CIVIL WAR DAYS Our Prlscilla has a new remedy for fat people this week. The title grabbed our attention right away. It read: "Eat and Grow Thin."

And, also, the forager was always with them. They didn't mind the confederate brethren stealing from their opponents, but when they stole from their friends and neighbors, then In desperate plight, they drew forth this sort of a remonstrance: "We have heretofore refrained from alluding to the matter which has been a source of extreme annoy ance and loss to our citizens. We refer to the lax discipline of some of our company officers in allowing their men to prowl around day and night, and purloin fruit, vegetables, and chickens, etc., from our den izens, and in the majority of cases from those whose chief subsistence Is derived therefrom; this charge is i,0(, uuiie Uboicly to taose at the works, but Is equally. If not mainly, attributable to the wagoners ana others in charv.e of animals. Several cases have come to our knowledge wnerelii the offenders have, In open davlieht. entered premises, seized- cattle and other things, and defied the owners to their teeth. eW are nained to learn that an esteemed citizen of our Vlcksburg, Wm. Por- terfield, was under the necessity, in nrotectln ehls Property, to wound one or two soldiers, and deprive an other of his life, we fully appreci ate the fatigue, hardships and pri vation to which our men are sub- wted but uoon lnaulrv It may be ascertained that our city is second to none 1 ncontrlbutlng to the wel fare of those gallant spirits wno risK thlr life and limb for the achieve- men of an end which will mak us one of the most honored people 'ot thn onrth. and such conduct ot wnlcn m-e complain Is but base ingratitude A soldier has bis honor as mucn ai stake as when a civilian, then let him preserve his good name and reputa tion with that same Jealous care as before he entered his country s ranks. But so long as this end Is lost sight of. so long may we expect to chronicle scenes of bloodshed among those of our people. We make this public exposure, moruiy ins; as It is to us. with a hope that a solutary Improvement In matters will be made by our military authorities." MRS. MARGARET KELLY'S WILL FILED IN COURT The will of Mrs. Margaret Kelly was filed In probate court Tuesday morning. She left an estate valued at between 16,000 and $7,000. Among minor bequests was one of 1100 to the Bloomington, Neb., cem etery association, and a $25 share of stock In the Masonic Temple was left to the association. Her personal keepsakes and mementoes were left to her granddaughter, Helen Hewitt, and the balance of the estate Is given to the Eastern Star home at Fre mont, Neb. The will gave minute directions for the funeral arrange ments and disposal of the body. which were carried out as she bad desired. The excess profits tax means that you can steal all you want to from your customers just so you give tne long end of the stealings to the gov ernment.

TOLLMAN'S Sale PEspersioe OF REGISTERED HEREFORD BULLS Owing to increased ranch duties I have decided to quit handling registered bulls and I will sell this bunch of choice animals at public sale at the Old Phillips Livery Barn ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA Saturday 9 Mar. 13 - AT 1:30 P. M. These bulls were raised in Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa and are largely of Anxiety breeding. They are mostly coming three and four year olds, thoroughly acclimated and tuberculin tested and in excellent breeding condition, having been well wintered. During my sixteen years of handling Registered Bulls I can truthfully say that this is as fine a bunch of bulls as I have handled. Every animal guaranteed to be a satisfactory breeder and right in every way. I will also sell with the same guarantee one aged bull which I have used on my ranch dur ing the past year. This animal is an exceptionally good individual and weighs about 1900. These are all well marked, big-boned animals and they will make a valuable addition to any herd. I live near Marsland and I am in a position to make good on every guarantee. TERMS CASH OR BANKABLE PAPER J. M. TOLLMAN VL P. C0URSEY. Auctioneer, Alliance, Near.
