opinion wthout going into the subject
quite thoroughly. I should fancy that
it would take about three weeks be

Offhand, however, it strikes me that
even if dancing isn't wrong, morally,
it's fairly tiresome from the physical
standpoint. However, it's no more tire

M. C. S.: "Of course it's wrong.
Isn't it a well established principle

to clothing, should be avoided? This

POINT OF ROCK CREEK
A work train was busily engaged in
unloading cinder ballast Saturday be
tween Lakeside and Ellsworth. Clyde
Lang and Engineer C. J. Young had
the train, the work being in personal
charge of Roadmaster F. M. Hoeir-
shell. Another work tram put on
Monday morninir. which will complete
the work of unloading nearly fifty
more cars of cinders between Lakeside
and Ellsworth. Some of this work will
be carried on at Ashby and Whitman,
and nearly a dozen cars of ties will I
unloaded by this work train.
Operator Frances Gadient of Whit
man left Sunday for a two weeks' va
cation, when she will visit relatives
and friends at Minneapolis, Denver,
Hot Springs and other places. She
was relieved by Extra Operator E. A.
Webb of Anselmo.
Owing to a faulty engino, Engineer
Bennett and Conductor Hutchinson
were forced to set out a tank special at
Antioeh Sunday morning, the sixteen-
hour law catching them with time in

Funeral services lor A. Gregory,
former west end Alliance di.satcher,
were held Sunday afternoon in Alliance
at 2:30, many out of town railroad
friends attending.
Lincoln division officials report a
rushing business. According to n re
cent collection of data, over 41 per
cent more business is being handled
now than at this time last year. Busi
ness on the Sterling division is also
reported very good, several crews hav-
( ing been set up there and over a thou
sand cars were on hand ready for west
movement at the close of the week.

of empty equipment to Casper . and

business has been fairly well balanced

chaps would have handled the present
generation not that I'm particularly
worried about it. I confess that I like
the new system somewhat better
What's the use of exercising authority
if it isn't worth respecting .'"
J. M. M.: "The dance simply can't
be sinful; it's so darned difficult. If
anvone thinks this amusement is the
easy primrose path, let him try to
master the steps and keep his feet
tracking all the time. My opinion is
that the man who condemns dancing so
easily has never tried to keep in step;
if he did, he'd realize that it takes all
a man's attention. With the mind en-1
grossed in the laudable effort to pilot
some woman about the floor, there's
no time to think of temptation."
W. R. P.: "Personally, I've no objec
tion to dancing, although some people
have concluded, from my attitude, that
I wasn't overly enthusiastic about it.
This is a mistake my supervisors are
against it,-and I bow to their wishes.
There have been times when I have
actually felt a desire to get out on the
floor and see if it was as easy and as
fascinating as it looks, but duty held
me back."
L. L.: It's said to be good exercise,
and if I make up my mind to follow
in the footsteps of Sarpy and George
Burke, I'm going in for it regularly.
Using it medicinally, as it were, ought
to take out whatever curse there may
be in it."
The Village Queen: "How absurd to
think that dancing is wrong! Why, if
these preachers keep butting into our
private affairs, they'll soon be claiming
that galoshes and pink T. B.'s are
works of the devil."
Mrs. Grundy: "I do hope they won't
stop dancing, for if they did, I'd have
to think up an entirely new line. It
would put be a month behind in my
scandal."
Mr. Henpeck: "Henrietta doesn't
low me to dance, but it certainly looks
alluring. I suppose it's wrong, but
1'v had no opportunity to discover for
myself. Sometimes I wish that Hen
rietta wasn't quite so strong-minded,
but I dare say I m just as wen on. in
fact, I don't dare say anything else."
The Chadron Journal has a new
poet, who signs herself "Lily Begin."
The poetical editor of that newspaper
has asked us to do our commenting
early, and as painlessly as possible.
Well, Old Socks, we've read over Lily's
stuff, and we'll admit that it isn't so
rotten as the stuff Leo and Gatenby
usually write. However, there's one
question that comes to mind: Why
should Lily Begin it at all ?
