THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1921 FIVE RANDOM SHOTS Possibly our sense of humor Is dis torted, but the following from the pen of a Bryan admirer and printed in W. J. B.'s Commoner, strikes us as one of the richest bits we have come across in years: "1 hope and trust to the good Lord above us all that some time yet in the future Mr. Itryan will be elected to the high office of president of the United States; then with all the purity and goodness that he possesses he will cause this land of ours to be a heaven on earth so to speak." The writer's name was given as J. H. Kentner of Texas. It's a case of a longhorn drawing the long bow. Mr. Bryan is, of course, unable to prevent his admirers from thinking these things about him; he car.not stop them from writing and using the United States mails, but really, he isn't forced to print this sort of slush. We move that the word "gladsome" be stricken from the dictionaries. There's no chance for a democrat to be gladsome for at least four years. We're looking for the editor oY the Hyannis Tribune to be shot or run out of town. This i9 what the brute printed, and you may interpret it in any way you like: "The Tribune is unable this week to authentically announce any wddings for the near future but unlets all signs fail in pleasant weather there will be a large demand for baby cabs in the springtime." Senator Terry Reed is the sole and only member of the senate committee on employes, and every job hunter must get Reed's endorsement or go without a job. The State Journal says he has special training for the place, having been superintendent of the swine exhibit at the last state fair. A Community Coal Bin. Too many people seem to have the idea that the home of "ye editor" is a sort of a Christmas tree and run on the cafeteria style at that. We take this means of informing them to the con trary, for while we may be like "Santa Clause," Christmas comes but once a year. And while we like to be as ac commodating as possible, we feel we must draw the line somewhere and if those persons need any more coal they had better buy it for we believe we are just good enough shot to cause them to spend ome time in vainly re gretting that they were not equipped with sheet iron trousers. Ansley Herald. "Ole," the schoolma'am, says that she can keep a secret, all right, but the people she tells it to can't. Says the Antioch News, speaking of a subscriber who has paid up: "He is an honored worker in the Odd Fel lows lode and attends church when more important household duties do not demand his attention." Shucks, we go to church that often. Three of the boys in the composing room swore o)f smoking this week, and each agroed that the one who first returnpd to the use of the noxious weed should pay twrmty-five smacks apiece to the other two. This morning the youngest one fell from grace, but he refuses to pay on the ground that they didn't catch him at it. Now they're shadowing him day ami night AT THE CHURCHES BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES The Baptist women's society will meet at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. J. F. Corp, 51t Niabrara.

I.. Overman, (0i Platte, on Wednesday afternoon. Roll call, helpful household hints. One of the best stories of last week is told on City Attorney Metz, who a few weeks ago made a great hit as manager, for Matiffiff, the Persian mystic, at the Elks minstrel. When Councilman Johnson ask Mr. Mctz his opinion of the legality of the city manager election, the city attorney put on his legal air and said, with dignity and emphasis: "Gentlemen, I'm not prepared to say, without looking the matter up further. OlVhand, I am of the opinion it was perfectly legal. However, I am frank in saying that it will take, not days, but weeks to look it up." And from a far corner of the room came a voice, reminiscent of the Elks ministrH: "He never fails! He never fails!" EPISCOPAL CHURCH NOTES St. Matthew's guild will meet on Wednesday at the parish house. Mrs. Marvin Dickinson will act as hostess. The Sewing Circle will meet with Mrs. Harnett this week.

Following the trial, Judue Tash informed him of his rights under the prohibition enforce ment laws of the state and to'd him that if he would divulge the name of the person from whom he had pur chased the liquor, the fine would be remitted. Young Spencer elected to iay the fine. Last Friday evening, at the basket ball game, two or three young men appeared at the hijrh school gymnas ium in a state of hilarious intoxica tion. Spencer was perhaps the worst of the lot. He had hardly gained his peat than he began to cut up, and his efforts ended by his being ejected from the building, after he had struck Professor W. R. Pate, and damaged the eye of W. E. Spencer, who was a volunteer assistant in the ejection, Barnes, the wrestler, assisted in get ting him under control. Spencer was arrested by Sheriff Miller Sunday afternoon, and spent the night in the county bastile.
