Beaver Flats, via O’Neill, Neb., April 7.—Beaver Flats has been con siderably stirred up the last week and the community is pretty well divided over the personal injury damage suit brought by Mrs. Charley Laughing Horse against Hank Tomlinson, lead ing inn-keeper of The Flats, in Judge Kirwin’s court, Mrs. Laughing Horse, with her husband, a half-breed ranch man up on Bloody creek, came to town for the first time since last fall, the first of the week, and while he was engaged in disposing of a load of stovewood which his trained beavers had gnawed off the forest reserve just above the ranch and floated down thereto, she engaged in shopping at the general store. Among her purchases was a beau tiful new spring hat, the confection being tastefully decorated with imi tation fruits and wild flowers. Her purchases completed, Mrs. Laughing Horse donned the new bonnet and then sat down upon the sidewalk out side the store to await her husband. Beaver Flats being some distance off the railroad, Mr. Tomlinson keeps a stand of bees that the guests of the Tomlinson Inn may have honey with their breakfast flapjacks, and on this particular day one of the bees sat on the Tront steps of his hive, sunning himself. Soon after taking up posi tion outside the store Mrs. Laughing Horse became drowsy and her bob bind head caused the flowers upon the millinery to wave most realistic ally. Spying the new garden and not even pausing to take account of the time of the year, the bee with a glad cry to his fellows within the hive hur h - •Jhe ttiaavko aWcujr Vatcke^ tV clock *jAll 2\cver tcfomc TV ttatl oP Ike Hoar* A Satisfactory Job Is what motorists want when their cars need attention, and satisfactory jobs are turned out every day and every time at this shop.

The anger of the bees when they discovered tihe flowers to be but imi tations was very great and Mrs. Laughing Horse was severely and, numrously stung. The incident re sulted in the action against Mr. Tom-; linson for not keeping his bees at home. Judge Kirwin, who is a can didate for re-election with some oppo sition, has reserved his decision until after the primaries. SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON. Helen Rowland, in Sioux City Tribune Greater Joy Has No Man. Who is this, my Daughter, that kisseth his wife good-bye with a smile and goeth forth with a song in his heart and whistling upon his lips Who is this that seeketh not the Highway and the plaudits of the mul titude, but searcheth outl the secret places and performeth his feats of "lory unseen and ALONE? Who is THIS that hath found the true secret of Happiness and the joy that oasseth understanding? T.o. it is He, the FISHERMAN, the Prince of Wisdom and the King of Optimists! Let Golfers strive after scores and loving cups and prizes, but the Fish erman is content with his luck, what soever it be. Let golfers array themselves in passionate hose and rainbow shirts and checkered knickerbockers and all the glory of Solomon. But HE is as the lily of the field, which taketh no thought wherewith it is clothed. For, even as a dog that unrootheth a bone, he hath dug his OLDEST shoes from out the closet: and the moth-eaten hat, which he hath rescued from the ashman, comfortheth his head. Let the Golfer play for the glory of the winning; but the Fisherman fish eth only for the joy of fishing, which is true felicity. Verily Patience is his middle name and Faith and Hope sustain his spirit. Sweetness and Quietness go with him and Perseverance is at his right hand. He casteth with joy and thrilleth at the nibble at the bait; and when he hauleth in the fish his ecstacy knoweth no bounds—nay, even though it be but a half-pound baby, he is filled with delight. He desireth no woman beside him, and his heart is not troubled by the absence of femininity. He wandereth beside the purling streams, and his luncheon basket run neth over. He communeth with Na ture and his spirit is refreshed. His book is in his left hand and his flask is in his right-hand pocket and neither sun nor rain nor wind hath power to ruffle him. He feareth not failure, for if his luck faileth him, then will his IMAG INATION and the fishmonger come to his rescue and none shall know of his shame. But if his luck favor him, then shall there be boasting and bragging in the Land forevermore, and all the world shall hear it! Then give him the fruit of his labors, which is a serene heart, a magnificent appetite and a beuatiful STORY to tell his friends! WOULD MOVE REMAINS OF GENERAL O’MEILL TO CITY OF HIS FOUNDING Jerry Howard, of Omaha has in augurated a campaign for the raising of funds for the removal of the re mains "of General O’Neill and the monument erected to his memory, to O’Neill, the city of his founding just fifty years ago. Thomas Griffin recently received the following letter from Mr. Howard which is self explanatory: Omaha, Neb., May 25, 1924. Hon. Thomas Griffin, O’Neill, Nebraska. Dear Sir: When I first came to Omaha, I was filled with a desire to do something to perpetrate the memory of those who had rendered notable service to Ireland. As part of my efforts, I sought to learn the whereabouts of General John O'Neill, the hero of the Battle of Ridgeway, and was informed that his mortal re mains lay in an unmarked grave. Pondering over the apathy of his people and their indifference to a hero who was ever ready to draw his sword in the cause of freedom, the idea came to my mind in 1891, to celebrate in September of that year, the two hundredth anniversary of the signing of the “Violated Treaty” of Limerick, the proceeds of the meeting to be used as the nucleus of a fund to erect a monument over the grave of General O’Neill.—It is needless to give the entire story. The monument was erected about three decades ago, and unveiled by the President of the Irish Republic, Eamon DeValera, at the tlime of his visit to America. But, lo and behold, the acred place was recently desecrated by an Irish Traitor, a New York grafte y and some Omaha politicians, who visited the grave for the purpose of having their pictures taken for political pro ganda. Rev. Father Gannon,^in his news paper, the True Voice, rebuked the political rascals. I sent a copy of the True Voice and clippings from another paper containing their pictures, to the Editor of the Irish World for his comments. In my letter to the Irish World, I stated that the politicians had mi grated from O’Neill to more con genial quarters, and that to clear the atmosphere of the treason'and dese cration, the good people in O’Neill would perhaps take the Generals re mains and monument to the city he established. I observed from the press that the citizens of O’Neill are arranging to celebrate the semicentennial of its founding. The year 1924 is, therefore, appropriate for the removal of the mortal remains of the hero of the Bat tle of Ridgeway, to the city dedicated to his memory. There and no„ where else should his remains and monument b^ located. Every Irish man and woman who honar and revere the act* end deeds of the great O’Neill’s of yore, down through the ages to DeValera in his prison cell—a living hell—would be delighted to participate In such an undertaking. Decoration Day or the Fourth of i July would be appropriate days for the unveiling of the monument, but the time is too short. I have an idea, however, that it can be So arranged to have the monument ready for the unveiling by September 20th, the an- j niversary of the martyrdom of Robert Emmet. Hon. J. J. O’Kelly, the Envoy of the Irish Republic is in the East, and would doubtless be delighted to at tend the celebration. Perhaps some of our noted citizens, Sentors Norris, Reed of Missouri and LaFollette would also lend the dignity of their presence. By way of example and as the be ginning of a fund, I am enclosing my mite of Ten Dollars to help defray the ‘.xpense of removing the General’s re mains and monument from Omaha to O'Neill. Yours truly, JERRY HOWARD. ELICK JACOB BEENEY.
