BALCOM WC0005C060COCCCOGOOOOOCO(S (, 1910, Western Newspaper t'nlon) When Abel Dayton, manufacturer, was Inllueneed by tils physician to spend n year nt n health resort, he en couraged his employees to faithful serv ice by distributing a very liberal bonus, lie rather favored Penreo Mantell nnd Rodney Harper, dlslnnt relatives. It fairly took Mantell off his feet to have flvo hundred dollars In u lump. It set him drenfnlng. As to Harper, ho felt that tho nest egg of a fortune hnd come to him. I'earco Mantell signalized his good fortune by equipping himself for n splurge, lib had always longed to have nn automobile and a sleek, smart auto salesman found no dllllculty In provalllng upon Mantell to pay two hundred dollars down on a bright and shining car. Mantell anticipated his usual two weeks' vacation, Indifferent to the odd hundreds In monthly In stallmcnts that he would hnvo to pay later on. There was a road between Acton nnd the city where for over half a mile a slanting descent followed a tortuous course of sharp curves, with high bluffs at either side. Hero one after noon there were strung ulong as many us twenty cars. Tho cnuso of tho stoppage could not be ascertained, as tho curves shut out all view ahead. Finally a motorist ventured to edge along the side of the road, to conio upon Mantell, his machine nt a stand still nnd he coolly wiping the dust from his auto. He had arranged to take Miriam Dale to the city to at tend to some shopping, nnd wanted to have the auto look Its very best to dazzle the senses of the prpttlest girl In Acton. Mantell chuckled serenely as he es caped the Jeers and chldlngs of tho automoblllsts he had kept in waiting and sped on to call for Miriam. That charming marvel of femininity he hnd been courting once n week for several months. Itoduey Harper had dono tho same. Mantell felt very sanguine and superior with his new acquisition, the automobile. Then, too, he fancied himself generally a good deal of a "sport," while Juurpur was only u plodder. Mantell was employed In tho ofllces of the Dayton establish ment. Harper's duties were those of a buyer. Ills province was to purchase what supplies the factory required. Us ually they were ordered per freight or express from various manufacturing centers, but when It was some light stuff, hurriedly heeded, Tim Ruggles an old employee, drove to the city In an ancient canopied wagon and gath ered up what Was required. Upon the day when Mantell was aiming to impress pretty Miriam with a due souse of his importance, It chanced that some articles were very much needed for the next day's work at the factory. Tim was home 111, and Harper volunteered to act as Mi substitute. He slipped on old Tim's overall suit and was live miles on his way, when an Imperious honk I honk I wns followed by an automobile whizz ing by him. It threw up a cloud of dust, hut not so dense that It hid from Harper's eyes a smiling face and a genially waved hand. Miriam, seated besldo Muutell, pleased and happy, was never forgetful of courtesy. Mantell left Miriam at a store, arranging to call for her at flvo o'clock. He then drove up to the curb awaiting her appearance. Sho did not come, for lie had mistaken another mercantile establishment for tho point of meeting. When lie ascertained his blunder lie hastened to the right store to llnd it closed for tho day. Ho was an easily rattled youth, drove about wildly, turned a corner In too much of n hurry, ran into another ma chine, wrecking It, and was haled up to the i.ollco station for reckless driv ing. Poor Miriam was distressed when sho had waited an hour beyond tho appointed time and no Mantell ap peared. Dusk was coming on and ruiu threatened. Finally sho took tho trol ley line, which ran within live miles of Acton, burdened with bundles and timorously starting down tho dark and lonely road homeward bound, a daunted maid as to courage, and angry at her chevalier's unaccountnblo de sertion. Her feet were encased with mud, her clothing and bundles sopping wet A vehlclo camo up behind her. "Why, Miriam 1" spoko tho heart some, welcoming voice of Rodney Harper, "Alonol Here? Whatever has happened to Mantell?" and Miriam nestled closo to Rodney under the "canopy of tho front oeat, a thankful, relioved mortal, and forgot all hor troubles. "I'vo got to stop a minute at tho old Beardslcy cottage," spoko Rodney, as they entered tho town. "It's vacant, you know4, nnd I havo boughTlt nnd am going to fix it up. By leaving soma paint and hardware thero now it will save another Journey tomorrow. "You won't llvo thero nil alone, will you. Itodnoy?" propounded artless Miriam. Sho unconsciously Invited an expla nation, urged on by a realization on tho part of Rodney of her bewitching prettlncss. "Oh, no, Miriam," ho responded "not until I find a wlfo to keep It in order for me, nnd, Mlrlnm, will you coino nnd bo that to mo If I ask you?" Amid gloom, darkness, rain, tho spontaneous proposal came, but ns Miriam clung to his arm and hung her head, Rodney Harper fancied all the world was aglow with rainbows nnd nrr m Ui I D Hi Hi ow it Go rices, Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi 5x3 H Hi Hi 31 Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Closing Out Sale Stegemann Grocery Stock 8 1 NORTH LOCUST I have just sold the Stegemann" Grocery an irrigated farm in Dawson county and taken their Grocery Stock as part payment, I wish to close this stock out and turn it into cosh.

Wo, tho undersigned ministers oi North Platte, hollovo in tho future oi our city, nnd in it's aJUsenship. We aro interested In everything that tends toward your betterment, and opposed to everything that tends to your hurt, especially spiritually. With thoso thoughts In mind, wo offer "I tho following protests: We, ns Christian Ministers, knowing God's laws and commandments, havo watched with cosidorablo alarm tho increasing desecration of tho Lord's Day (Sunday) and tho consequent demoralization attendant thereon. Wo regret that tho bnse-ball teams representing our city havo found it necessary to schedule most of their gnmes on Sunday afternoons, and havo watched with oven keener regret tho nttendanco thereon of many whoso oxamplo should have been otherwise. Wo havo also watched with concern and alarm tho increased tondon'cy among prominent citizens to mako of Sunday a day for golf tournaments. We wonder if tho participants roalizo that thoy havo kept boys, (caddies) from Sunday School for months at a time, and that at a period in thoso boya' lives when if thoy aro weaned away from tho church, it will bo next to Impossible to rSgain them. Thoy look up to you men and womon: thoy sco you turn your back upon God and God's Houso, and thoy follow In your steps. Wo cannot help but won- dor if you havo considered this Sor ious phaso of your actions. Thoroforo, wo, tho ministers of North Platto, protest most carnostly against thoso and all other forms of unchristian recreations, and call up on you cltizons, especially you whoso names aro on tho church rolls, to stop thoso wrong ways, and to taKo your accustomed places in the church of tho living God. - Faithfully yours, II.
