“flow savagely that cow looks at
me,” said a young woman—a summer
boarder—to a farmer. “I’ts your red
parasol, ma’am,” he answered. Dear
me!” she exclaimed; “I knew it was a
little out of fashion, but I did not sup
pose a country cow would notice it."
A quarter of an inch of rain fell last
Sunday night and about the same
amount Monday night. The ground
is very dry for fall seeding and we
should have a good old-time gulley
washer to put the ground In good
condition for sowing fall wheat and
rye.
Exchange: The farmer is the
gambler who takes the bitter with
the sweet; when everything is lovely
his lot is hard to beat. But when
things burn to tinder, with pastures
bare and brown, would you rather be
the farmer or the man who lives in
town?
v. b. Jiardinor Monmouth, Illinois,
who owns the old Jackson ranch
nonheast of this city, arrived in this

visit. Mr. Hardin says that for two

A' “girl” living not far from this

own; have a parrot that carv swear
and a monkey that can chew. What
neecThave I of a husband?” Can any
one answer this sensible female?
Montana Jack Sullivan is getting

eight hits per game.
C. E. Stout returned last Friday
night fr< m his trip to the west.
Charles says that Idaho is a great

a hunter of big game. He says that
he had an enjoyable trip and would
nave jikbu remain in mat section
much longer than he did.
Bruno Jacobs of Star, one of the
prosperous farmers of Steel Creek
township, was a pleasant caller at
thisoflice Monday and ordered The
Frontier sent to his address for'the
ensuing year so that he could keep
posted upon the affairs of the county.
Mr. Jacobs says they have a splendid
corn crop in his section of the county,
the fields being as nice and green as
they were six weeks ago.
An editor is a cross between early
piety and cranky old age. He never
swears in the paper without abbrevia
ting a dash. He'tolls along like a
stone gathering moss until the lumba
g) strikes into his back. The gather,
ing of wealth has but a faint hope and
seadowy “might be” iu his mind. He
lives from day to day In the hope of
getting conscience money from his
subscribers who owe him several years
of subscriptions, but the subscribers
sleeps well every night while he strug
gles on and always having something
coming.
A. S. Merrill and daughter returned
last Tuesday night from a three
weeks visit with relatives at Mr.
Merrill’s old home at Kokomo, Ind.
Mr. Merrill’s mother,seven sisters and
three brothers are living in Kokoma
and yjcinity and they had a family
reunion at which all the members of
the family were present. It had been
twenty years since A. S. visited the
scenes of his youth and he says he had'
an enjoyable time visiting relatives
and companions of his boyhood days.
Crops in that vicinity are in splendid
condition he says and everything is
; prosperous.
It takes a woman to show her nerve
under the surgeon’s knife, but women
can display that quality at other
times. As an instance: Lately a
lady shopper ask to be shown white
canvas shoes. The clerk showed
several styles, and was able to furnish
a perfect i}t, going to every trouble to
please the customer, who with one of
the best pairs on her feet, ask “Now
what is the exact size? On being in
formed of the size, she had the shoes
removed with the remark: Weil, I
am sending awav for a pair of shoes
and I wanted to be sure as to the
size oraered.”
The fearless editor may offend and
lose a subscriber, but If he is right in
the end he will gain live. He will
lose an advertiser, but if he Is right
he will gain two thereby. If he la
bors not to displease anyone he will
please no one. If be tries to ride all
the horses in the held he will be un
horsed by each of them. The editor
should follow his honest, well-consid.
ered convictions, and the man he
should labor to please is himself. If
,fte does this with ability and without
fear or favor he will have a gieat
following and better support, though
be be wrong half the» time, then he
who trims his sail to every change of
the breeze, and without chart or
oompass, principles or purpose, drift
ing aimlessly with every shifting
tide.
Albert Canady, who lives (our miles
northeast of Ewing, met with an
accident last Saturday afternoon that
came near causing his death. Mr.
Canady was making sorghum molasses
and while inspecting a whiskey barrel
he applied a lighted match to the
bung bole. The barrel exploded with
terriffle force, striking Mr, Canady
under the chin, rendering him un
conscious, in which condition (je re
mained for several hours." An exami
nation of his injuries, after he came
to, resulted in finding the jaw bone
broken in two places. He was taken
to a hospital in Omaha Sunday for
treatment. It was a very narrow
escape and it will be some time before
Mr. Canady will have entirely re
covered from the effects of the
explosion.
About 12:15 today fire was discovered
In the old delapldated structure just
horthof the First National bank
building and used by Jack Welsh as a
warehouse. The fire was extinguished
without doing much damage except
that caused by smoke. The way ' the
fire started is a matter of conjecture
but the supposition is that it was
caused from a fire at the rear of the
building that was burning up some
old papers and rubbish. As the door
of the warehouse was 'Bpen the sup
position is that the wind carried one
of the papers around the cofner of
the building and in the door where it
ignited some bannana crates and was
blazing fiercely when discovered.
More care should be exercised in the
burning of old rubbish and papers or
someday we will have a fire that will
not be as easily extinguished as the
one today.

Morris came down from Okaton, S. D.,
Tuesday to mix pills and powders at
the Hoover drug store while the
senior partner enjoys a week’s
vacation. Tom wields the spatula
with his old-time dexterity, though
the rigors of sun and wind have given
him a complexton which is the envy
of his Indian neighbors. Mr. and
Mrs. Morris have now occupied their
government claim near Okaton for a
year and find comfort in a five room
frame cottage, one of the best in that
section of the country. With an
abundance of water and some good
timber on the place hardships in
cidental to frontier life are reduced to
the minimum and Mr. Morris intends
to “stick” for a deed to the place.
All are now enjoying the best of
health and at present have no desire
to return to the busy marts. We’re
all glad to hear these good reports—
along with Tom’s musical tee-hees.
Despondency.

constipation, and quickly disappears
