A Successful Homesteader.
Henry B. Attebery, living seventeen
miles northwest of Sutherland, called
at the U. S. lund office a foW days ago
to receive the patent for his homestead.
Mr. Attebery took his claim in tho
spring of 1909, and prior to that timo
hnd worked ns a carpenter in the oast
part of tho state, and lived in sort of a
hand to mouth fashion. Whan he nr
rivod on tho homestead ho had $70 in
cash, a plug of a team nnd a vngon
which ho purchased on time, nnd a
wife and fivo children. He put up a
Sod house for summor shelter, and
bought a plow and cultivator, paying
pnrt cash and securing credit for the
remainder. Today he has good homo
stead buildings, seventeen head of
horses, twenty head of cattle, 103
acres in cam, 70 acres In wheat and
rye, a deed to 040 acres of land worth
$4,000 or $5000 and doosn't owo a
ponny. Had Mr. Attebery continued
working at his .trade up to this time
ho would probably have saved a
couple of hundred dollars', today ho is
worth $7,000 or $8,000 and ho made it in
four yoars. Many other homesteaders
have done as well or better than Mr.
Attebery.

"Job Or The World's-
Ash Heap
Some Terse. Sayings
by the Fiery Little
Minister From
Rhode Island -
By C. C.MITCHELL, Lecturer
nt the Chautauqua.
OB was no poet, preach
er or president, but n
big, healthy, wealthy,
J
happy, honest, manly man of
the street. lie was a business
man. I am glad of the change-.
I am getting tired of studying
life from the angle of poets,
preachers and presidents.
The trouble in the world
today is not in the social sys
tem, but in the human system.
Many apostles of righteousness are killing woodpeckers, think
ing they will stop the rot at tho heart of the tree.
You don't have to feed all men angel food ttjkecp them good.
Job was a millionaire reduced to an object or charity in two
hours. , .... viwwf,,,u.ij v -JL 70 $fc.2 r '
First honors go to Job. "Satan struck him a solaj plexus blow
and all that it did was to send him to a prayer m6eting.
Character is God's big job. He was only amusingNHimself when
Eo made the stars and built the fire in the heart of the sun.
He wants men with knot, gnarl and soul twist to them; moral
giants with which ho populates His eternities.
If ever the Almighty made a blunder it was in his selection of
Adam instead of Job with which to start Eden.
The accident of birth is soiiietliing' I don't know much about.
This tin spoon and silvcTSpoon business has not been made
plain in my arithmetic.
Job was big. Hence when a man like this jumps the track
you are going to see a wreck. lie was no hand car.
If you want to get rid of a lot of suckers who feed upon you,
just go into bankruptcy.
Some men are like rivers. They arelargcst at the mouth.
OBEYING GOD IS NO GUARANTEE OF A 50 RAISE IN
SALARY.
It is not piety that gets dollars. It is push, genius or un
adulterated gall. .
God has not promised to keep a man fat, well andvhappy, even
is he does pray three times a day with his face, turned toward
Jerusalem.
Pink tea soldiers of the cross will be so far back, they will have
to use long distant telephones to know what is going on.
