One of the incidents that the Floyd Collins tragedy will recall to the minds of old settlers in this part of the state occurred near Atkinson in the early 80’s and is described in the following clippingjfrom the Niobrara Pioneer kindly sent to The News by Mrs. William Hubbard of Lynch: “Word reaches us from Atkinson of the sad death of two brothers by the name of Biglow. They were digging a well last Thursday and had reached the depth of twenty-five feet, when the quicksond gave way burying the unfortunate men in the bowels of the earth. No one was near when the accident took place, but when dis covered both were alive, although one was badly hurt by falling timbers. “Willing hands went to work to rescue the brothers, and had nearly succeeded in reaching them when the sand again filled up the well. By this time one hundred and fifty people had arrived at the scene of the acci dent, and fresh hands took hold of the shovels, but all to no avail. “On Saturday evening, about 9 o’clock, one of the men in the well called to his friends to do all in their power to rescue him; that he could live but a short time longer; that his . brother had died the day before from i injuries received when the well caved. Feeling sure that nothing could be done he bid his family and friends good-by. Nothing more was hoard, and on the following day both men were taken out and buried imme diately. They leave large families, who have the sympathy of all in this their sore bereavement.” Mrs. Hubbard has been keeping clippings of interesting events for forty-four years. “I also have the printed program as clipped from the Niobrara Pioneer, of the first Fourth of July celebration ever held at Dorsey, Nebraska,” she writes. “I was a participant in that program. Walter A. Strain, now of Creighton, was marshal of the day and he managed airairs with such ex cellent skill there was not a single ac cident from automobiles, street cars, airplanes or even ftrewarks.” ~1 Cruel Old Custom There was a time when “laughing' faces were actually manufactured to meet the demand of those who wished to he amused. Up to the end of the rejgn of James II, human “sculpture" work was carried out by roving tribes of gypsies called Oompraehlos. who were of Spanish origin. They bought and even kidnaped children, and prac tlced a science or art of human disfig uration. Children thus treated grew up with an Immovable and fantastic grin. They were an attraction at all successful traveling booths and entertainments until the custom was repressed by William III.

I went to the open door— The street was empty, to me. So I sat me down to wait. And I was cold, so cold— Filled with a nameless tear. Just for a moment, there. I was weak with terror and dread. Suppose, I said, suppose— Oh, then the clank of the gate. The blessed rush of her feetl The door—the door snapped to, She gathered me in her arms. Straight and sudden and strong, Laughing, laughing and gay. And scolding me for my fears. "We are getting so busy!" she said. “I wish—I wish you could see The work I finished today! Is supper ready? Of course! Mind If I light a fire— A warm, bright fire on the hearth? It is getting colder tonight. Summer Is almost gone." Kneeling, she laid the spark And kindled a leaping flame. . . . And a flame In her face leaped, too, "Isn’t It good!” she said. "Home, and a Are, and you!" Now, I am warm, so warm, Here Is the heart of my heart. S'he was late, and I was afraid. Hut she came, at last! And she said, "Home, and a fire, and you!" —Barbara Young in the New York Times. Mexicans Use Maguey Plant to Obtain Ice Durango City, capital of the state of the same name in Mexico, which hovers on tiie border line of the Torrhl zone, provides itself with one of tiie most peculiarly manufactured ice sup plies in the world. When, the maguey, or century plant, has had tiie seven years’ growth necessary to bloom and its bud lias been tapped for pulque, in most pluces it is destroyed. At Durango, however, all the plants are assembled in one place, where the leaves are laid out with the cupping surfaces upward on the ground. Into each leaf is poured about two quarts of water. Although the tem perature is not low enough to freeze water in the canals or when It is placed in some domestic utensil, it does freeze in the maguey leaves. The ice Is gathered in the early morning and put into the Ice houses, built of adobe, about 20 feet square and 20 feet deep. Tiie Ice is thrown in through on open ing in the roof and the slivers meli together, forming a solid mass. Later It Is cut out and delivered to the housewives.—Grit. Bees in Odd Hive The school dock tower at Michelde ver Hants, England, Is for some reason a favorite dwelling place for bees. For at least 30 years swarms of bees have made the tower their home, and al though from time to time they have been killed, the place carefully disin fected, and the hole they have made in the clock face filled with cement, a fresh swarm has always come every year and eaten through the cement to the old spot. Last year, they swarmed on the window of the house opposite, and made their way inside the wall through some <>M woodwork. They were removed in the autumn, and this place also was cemented, but a new lot of bees have nrrived and taken up the same position as the old ones. A bucketful of honey was taken from the house watt, and the honey found In the clock tower the last time it was cleared amounted to some hundredweights. Before and After An Irvington hoy came home from school the first day of the term, re loielng because he had been assigned to the room of his favorite teadher. a young woman who had been married during the summer vacation.

Church and Castle Go Far Back Into History The great bell in the church of Tong, England, weighs 4,800 pounds, and the church itself lias a wonder ful history. The church and castle have grown hoary together. The lat ter is said to have been the seat of Hengist the Saxon, whom Vortigern called in to his assistance, and hav ing been successful in his warlike en gagements, he afterward begged of Vortigern as much land as an ox hide would cover or enclose. On his request being granted, he cut the hide into strips and had as much land as it encompassed. Whereupon lie built I lie castle. Burke says it afterward came into the possession of the L’ern brugges, and subsequently the Ver nons, by marriage of William Vernon of Haddon; it passed into the hands of the Stanleys. It at one time be longed to the last duke of Kington. In the church there are tombs of some of the knights of the manor of Tong. Among them are the Vernons, and it was Sir Henry Vernon who had the great hell placed in the belfry* He also gave a rent out of liis manor of Norton for tolling It when any Vernon came to town, probably Shiffnall or Newport (Salop), and it would be heard at the White Ladies at Boseo bell. His Next Choice Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, growing tired of riding horseback the other day, dismounted and took his place in the back of Gabe Giggery’s wagon, which was proceeding toward town. Gabe possessed a vial, and he and Gap presently got into an argu ment which ere long waxed clamor ous. Finally Gap yelled a contention, and his horse jerked back and dragged him out of the wagon. This occurred three or four times. “Say, looky—hie—yur, contaminate It!” he yelled after the fourth fall. “If you don’t—hie—know how to drive any — by-gosh — better’n that I’m dammed if I wouldn’t just about as— hie—soon walk!”—Kansas City Star. Seaweed as Food Japan appears to be the only coun try where seaweed is cultivated for human consumption as cereals and vegetables are cultivated in other parts of the world, says London Tit Bits. It is said that some years ago, when portions of the coast were found to be denuded of murine vegetation, the Japanese government took the matter In hand and planted the devastated regions with suitable varieties, main ly red laver. A crop of this in good years is worth as much as £35 an acre. Still more profitable for seaweed farmers Is agaragar, which Japan exports in large quantities for the manufacture of isinglass.

(Atkinson Graphic, Feb. 20.) Mary Louise Reffier was born in Buffalo, N. Y., September 23, 1848; died in Atkinson, Nebraska, Febru ary 16, 1925, aged 76 years, 4 months and 7 days. She was married to Dan el P. Raymer, June 29, 1868, at Broadhead, Wis. They were pioneers n this part of the state, coming to Iolt county in 1882 and settling on a farm near Atkinson where the hus rnnd died September 2, 1895. They were the parents of six child ren, as follows: Catherine Louise, who died in 1890; Mrs. Daisy Allen of Whitewater, Wisconsin; George L. Raymer of Chicago, Illinois; Mrs. Ef fa Fullerton, who died at Glendora, California, April 2, 1911; Miss Byrd Raymer and Dwight L. Raymer, both of Atkinson. Since moving to Atkinson from the I’anch she and her daughter Byrd have made their home together, a little grandson, John, living with them since the death of his mother, Mrs. Dwight Raymer. Mrs. Raymer was converted in childhood and united with the Evan gelical church of which she was a member until uniting with the Meth odist church in Atkinson in 1897. While she had good health she was very active in church work and was at one time president of the Ladies Aid Society. She was one of the older members of Jhe Royal Neigh bors and has besn on the Board of Managers for many years. But ill health has prevented activity in later years and she spent most of her time at home. Her kindly nature won many friends who from time to time visted her during the years she was an invalid. She was always very fond of birds and flowers, never forgetting to put out food in the winter for her little feathered friends. Besides the four children who survive Mrs. Raymer there are left to mourn her death, thirteen grandchildren, other relatives and a large circle of friends. Funeral services were held Thurs day at 2:30 p. m. from the Methodist church, Rev. Clinton Senneff, officiat ing, and interment in Woodlawn cemetery. (First publication March 5.)
