DEDICATING THE ROSEBUD.
By The Chief.
(By F. O. Hazen, Holt County’s Poet
Laurette.) •
Braves and squaws who make the
circle,
Sadness on your faces show;
Yet today yor heart sings gladness,
Like the spring that bursts to flow.
Tho the past is memories blackened,
Like a Whiteman’s smitten tomb.
Our future is like a tiny rosebud
And your hears all see the bloom.
Seven moons have passed beyond us,
Like the waters that have gone,
Since we turned our faces westward
Rather than be trampled on.
And the dead that we’ve forsaken,
Blackened furrows hide their woe.
Yet if they could speak out to us,
They would council better so.
Here away from white-man’s sneer
ing,
Square many sun’s tramp, lies fresh
sod,
Gift of Father Fire and Water,
Thurder, Lightning, White-man’s
God.
Heap much antelope and bison,
Heap much fish and birds that fly;
Knee-deep grass for many ponies:
Sights all good to red-mans’ eye.
Quickly now we’ll set the wigwams,
String the bow, and shape the spear.
Here we’ll raise a mighty village,
Peace and plenty they are here.
White man promised, no more bother,
Ours forever—land and sky,
Land of Rosebud: This we call it;
Live for it or for it die.
—P. O. HAZEN.

Vengeance of
Abdul Khan
By ARCHIE JOSCELYN
■ ...—.—■:— -A
(©, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.)
IT WAS not Mecca; but to Abdul
Khan It was Mecca, which sufficed.
Its streets, crooked and narrow and
reeking with the stench of accumu
lated centuries, dark at midday and
avenues of death at midnight for the
unwary, were as they had always been
In the land of the prophet. In the
newer, cleaner portion of the city, with
Its modern business and dominance of
the sultan’s favorites, Khan pros
pered. His western training showed
In his air, his speech and manner of
living. And his wife, a woman of
beauty, went with unveiled face.
There was no doubt that he loved her,
and was well content.
Searim, of all the friends of the sul
tan who lived In Khan’s Mecca, was
the most powerful and by the sntne
token the most unscrupulous. Also,
with his well-carried figure and mili
tary caste, aided not a little by o
milk-white steed of the desert, he was
more handsome even than Abdul Khan.
Unveiled faces are to be seen, and
what is seen Is apt to be desired.
What is desirable, such as Searim
take. So Abdul Khan’s wife became
the favorite of the sultan’s favorite— j
and she went willingly.
One flash of Abdul Khan’s western
spirit showed then—by the modern
post he sent word to Searim that lie
would have revenge, and, though it
be long in coming, it would be ample.
Seariin’s reply was characteristic.
Protected by the law and might of the
land from Abdul Klian, he turned that
same power to bring Khan dead to his
feet. To save his life Khan fled the
country, for a dead man cannot attain
vengeance.
The business that Khan had built
up was a rich haul even for a favorite
of the sultan, who might pillage as he
wished. But Searim added nothing to
tiis injury of Khan when he took his
wealth, for to Khan, life had held but
one thing—his wife, and business was
but an end to help her. Business was
tio aid to vengeance.
Four years, the passage of a slice
out of life, much to some and little
to others, saw an Increase in the
power of the sultan’s favorite, a re
doubled vigilance against those of the
rabble of those oppressed who might
do him harm, a slight fading of the
beauty of her who had been the wife
of Abdul Khan, though she was still
Searim’s favorite; a forgetfulness on
their part of Abdul Khan’s vow of ven
geance, and, in one of the filthier parts
of the city, the setting up of a humble
shop of a rug weaver.
But treasures came not always from
the brighter palaces. Soon word went
about Mecca, even that city of bidden
treasures, that In the shop of Kadul
the weaver was a treasure such as no
one had found before In the East.
Many looked at the rug, and sighed,
and asked the price, hut none there
were who purchased. Some there were
who would have—but fear stood be
tween. Searim—Searim would hear of
it and wish It, and woe to the worm
who took it from him!
it was Searim himself who rode his
tiorse through the doorway, and over
the bent form of Kadul, who hardly
managed to crawl aside. The price
was cut in half and cut again—Searim
tlie powerful so ordered. That, or
death to the merchant. And Kadul
went In person to deliver and place
the rug of fire In the house of Searim.
It was an hour past the usual ris
ing hour that someone screamed In the
bouse of Searim. In his bedroom the
sight which first caught the eye was
of the mnrvelous fire-rug. spread by
Kadul the weaver. The sunlight was
striking upon it, showing its weave
and texture, myriad of colors, which
seemed to glow as fire, and the effect
was as If smoke arose. Nowhere else
In the East was there anything like
nnto it.
Across the bed lay two figures. One
was she who had been the wife of
Abdul Khan. She was stretched there
as If In repose, but very still. Across
her feet, equally still, was stretched
the body of Abdul Khan himself, no
longer was there resemblance to Ka
dul the weaver of death. On the floor,
lying at the feet of both, was Searim.
All three were In their bare feet, and
tiny red marks were upon the feet of
each. Woven In the rug, points upper
most, were countless needles, Infinite
ly small, tipped with poison.
For four years, Abdul Khan had fol
lowed the profession of his fathers,
weaving the rug, and Into It he had
woven his vengeance. Searim, the
powerful, the unapproachable, lay at
Ms feet.
Debt for Monument
It was while Indianapolis was host
to a large convention of national char
acter, a year or so ago. that A. B.
Orampton, chairman of the hoard of
ontrol of the Indiana Soldiers and
Sailors’ monument, came across a
granger who was admiring Indiana's
memorial to her fallen heroes.
"That certainly is a wonderful mon
ument," said the stranger, adding,
“beautiful, artistic and Inspiring."
“Yes,” replied Mr. Orampton, “Indi
ana Is proud of It and' we veterans of
the Civil war love and cherish It.”
“Yes, sir; that’s fine,” said the
other, “But you know if it had not
been for my state, Indiana would not
have such a grand monument."
“If it hadn’t been for your state?”
asked the veteran.
“Indeed, sah; I’m from South Car
olina.”—Indianapolis News.
CORRECTING the prof.
A professor met two students out
side the campus during one of the
hours for study. He walked up to
! one of the students and, taking out
his notebook to Jot down the reply,
asked:
“Pray, sir, what might your name
be?"
"Julius Cnesar,” said the student
“What, sir? Do you mean to say
your name Is Julius Caesar?”
“Sir, you did not ask me what It
is, but what it might be.”
Made a Serious Mistake
The star comedian In the road show
didn't know what had caused the riot
in the theater until the day he left the
hospital.
He had thoughtlessly sung “It Ain’t
Gonna Rain No More” in the western
town where a drought had prevailed
for two months.—American Legion
Weekly.
UNIMPORTANT THINGS
"We’re made happy by the unimpor
tant things.”
“Yes—that fls, if they’re pretty regu
lar In bringing their salaries home.”
Evolution
Why should I climb, with study grim,
A family tree,
To meet upon the topmost limb
A chimpanzee?
Me, the Sacred One
A Mohammedan married a very ugly
wife. On the day after the marriage
the bride asked her husband, after
oriental custom, before which people
■he might appear without her veil.
“Before anybody—except me 1" re
plied her husband.—Munich Meggen
dorfer Blatter.
Quite the Contrary
"I’m afraid father was very angry
when you asked him for me, wasn't
he, Jack, dear?”
"Not at all. He asked me if I knew
any more respectable young men who
would be likely to marry your three
> sisters?”
DASHED HER HOPES
—
The young man produced a small
square box from his pocket.
"My dear,” he said, "I have a birth
day present for you. I don’t know
whether It will fit your finger or not,
but I’ll—”
“Oh, Jack I” she interrupted, blush
ing vividly. “Why, I never even
thought—”
Then he opened the box and pro
duced a silver thimble, and the room
became suddenly cooler.
Turn About
The clergyman held up his hands in
horror.
"Stephen,” he said, "the last time I
met you you made me the happiest
man in the parish, because you were
sober. Bwt today you make me the
most miserable, because you are
drunk.”
“Y-e-e-s, parson,” said Peter. “To
day it’s my turn to be happy.”
SAFE FROM THE KNIFE

Much-Operated Lady—So you don’t

Never-Operated Lady—Well, you see
I’m a surgeon’s wife.
Evolution
By "evolution” they would show
How modern forms appear.
But this is what I’d like to know:
Where do we go from here?
Practice Makes Perfect
A barber reported to work two
hours late.
“What’s the big idea?” demanded
the boss.
“I’m sorry,” replied the barber, “but
I while I was shaving I talked myself
into a shampoo, haircut and mas
sage.”—Good Hardware.

Get These Additional T
Spreader Advantages
Every user of a manure spreader readily admits that this
equipment is one of the best investments any farmer can make,
but remember this—there’s a world of difference in manure spreaders—a dif
ference in loading, in draft, in the work done, in the life, upkeep costs and
the service they give.
JOHN DEERE SPREADER
The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle
hasTfthese distinctive advantages—advantages
over others that result in saving time, labor and
money.
Easier on you. It is only 36 inches from the
ground to the top of the box—from 6 to 10 inches
lower than others—saven about half the work of
loading because the manure is in the box without
the hard part of lifting necessary when loading
other spreaders.
Easier on your horses. High drive wheels
materially lighten the draft—from 4 to 8 inches
higher than others. The manure on the endless
apron is rolled back to the beater on 48 roller bear
ings. If you were going to move a ton weight
the easiest way you wouldn’t drag it—you would
• put rollers under this load and roll it, as on the
John Deere.
Does better work. It isn’t necessary to pile
the John Deere Spreader with manure high in the
center to get on a load; consequently, the spread
is even the entire width. Another point, the
beater on the John Deere is low to the ground—
manure is not thrown high in the air for side winds
to catch it and cause drifting.
The revolving rake, a patented feature, imbeds
its teeth into the manure and revolves with the
load—this permits the beater teeth to tear the ma
nure apart. No bunching—no uneven spreading.
Lasts longer. It has only about half the
parts ordinarily required.
No clutches—no chains—no adjustments to
make. All of the main working parts are on the
axle where they can’t get out of line to cause extra
wear, binding and breakage. The upkeep costs
are extremely low and the service it gives i3 much
longer.
A11 of these advantages are evident when com
parisons are made.
