WE AINT GONNA MAKE NO MO!
Latest Hit Among Bob Samardiclc’e
Converts.
(By Holt County’s Poet Laureat.)
Bob and his pal that caught us—
Came sneaking up the hill.
One of them grabbed the pair of us
While the other took our still.
Chorus
Oh! We Ain’t gonna make na mo’, no
rno’,
We ain’t gonna make no mo’,
fhsy got us fair and made us swear,
We ain’t gonna make no mo’.
They got m ’long ’bout midnight;
They took us in their ear,
And long ’fore light, we got a sight
Of another judges’ bar.
The judge there didn’t know us,
But !:e didn’t call us ducks;
And I thought I’d die when he squint
ed his eye
And said two-hundred bucks.
Chords
Well, quickly I started to pay him,
And dug down in my stock;
But ho. soured my smile, as he counted
the pile
Saying: sixty days in hock.
We’re housed up now a plenty
In little dingie rooms;
And all day long we sing a song,
But we keep on making brooms.
Chorus
We’ll be here now for quite a while,
But friends best not come near;
Especially, I think, if they want a
drink.
For we have but water here.
Chorus
Bob dumped all the good stuff out—
Just let it go to waste.
He knew by our eye that we were dry
But he never saved a taste.
Chorus
If I ever should get out of here,
If I ever once get free;
I’ll raise my voice, to sing my choice
And this is what ’twill be.
Chorus
I’m broken down for ever,
My morale’s very low;
But if I get sick, I’ll call Doc, quick;
But I ain’t gonna make no mo’.
Chorus

I “Ain’t Nature Wonderful”
By “UNCLE PETE," O’Neill, Nebraska. \i
^ (Courtesy St. Louis Post Dispatch.) ^ jj
“AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL”
O’Neill, Neb.
The Silver Triggs bullsuake farm,
north of Beaver Flats, will have its
first crop of hatbands on the market
several months earlier than usual this
year, owing to the adoption of more
modern equipment by Triggs to speed
up the industry. He also will extend
the period of production at least three
months a year by means of the im
provements.
The farm was started several years
ago for the purpose of supplying
snakeskin hatbands to the Wild West
movie actors of Hollywood and later
was expanded when the demand for
them spread to the tourists. It now
is one of the largest snakeskin hat
band farms of the entire country.
Much of the original stock of snakes
still are active on the industry, but
one drawback in keeping up with the
demand has been that the bullsnakes
only shed their skins during the hot
months, and not when in the torpid
condition of the early spring, late fall
and winter, which corresponds to the
hibernating t period among animals.
The hibernation of the snake differs
from that of the higher orders, in that
the reptile thaws out and becomes
active during any period of warm
weather during the hibernating period,
be it only for a day.
Triggs hit upon the plan of speed
ing up skin shedding among his
skins by reading in his farm paper
about the people who put electric
lights in their chicken coops during
the short daylight period of winter
to give the hens more time to lay. He
at first attempted to accomplish the
result by heating the cellars in which
the snakes arc kept in winter, but this
did not prove satisfactory. He then,
after consultation with Doc Wilkin
son, Beaver Flats scientist, began in
cluding egg-shapked electric light
bulbs in their monthly diet of eggs.
After the feeding a sufficient strong
current was turned on to set up a
gentle glow in the lamps, and by this
means the body temperatures of the
reptiles was raised to summer heat
and they began shedding just as they
do in August. The arrangement also
prevents snakes from straying.
M. E. CHURCH NOTES.
The special meetings began on
Wednesday evening. Rev. and Mrs.
Benedict are conducting the meeting.
A large crowd greeted them on the
opening nigHt, They are showing
very beautiful pictures of the “Life

The Boy’s Scout Class play a re
turn game of ball on O’Neill diamond
Saturday at 2:00 with the boys of

WOMAN’S CLUB.
On Wednesday afternoon, April 29th
the Literary and Art department of
the Women’s club held an are exhibit
in tlie Library. There were about 30
pictures, copies of the old masters and
more recent favorites placed around
in the room, interspersed with exhib
its of beautiful tapestry, loaned for
the occasion by Mrs. Gilligan, Mrs.
I ongstaff and Mrs. Neil Brennan.
There 'were also several pieces of rare
antique and oriental pottery from
Switzerland, Ireland, England, Japan,
ffcul China, the history of which prov
ed very interesting when, told by the
owners.
At the beginning of the program, a
memory contest of art and artists'In
which twelve pictures were included,
resulted in Mrs. Win. Biglin winning
a copy of one of Taylor’s Series of
Bible pictures. The following pictures
were in the contest: Sir Galahad,
Children of the Shell, Feeding the
Birds, Blue Boy, Daybreak, Baby
Stuart, Age of Innocence, Christ
Among the Doctors, The Boy and the
Rabbit, Dance of the Nymphs) Infant
Samuel, and “1 shall Lilt up Mine
Eyes Unto the Hills.”
Mrs. Hammond read a very Inter
esting paper on Gain borough, one of
the most loved of English portrait
painters, having on display G&inbor
ough’s “Blue Boy”. Miss Loretta Ryan
played a beautiful pt&no selection, aft
er which a general discussion and in
spection, followed. Twenty-five club
members were present at the meting,
which waa one of the club's many “Red
Letter Days”.
Mrs. F J. Dishner was chairman of
the Art Committee who planned and
carried out this program, and she de
serves much credit for a very pleas
ant and instructive afternoon. It is
a matter of great regret' that more of
the women of O’Neill, do not avail
themselves of the opportunities pre
sented by the Woman’s club.
On Wednesday, May 6th, was Li
brary' Day in the Literature and Art
department. The members were asked
to bring donations to the library, and
a number of good books were receiv
ed, although not ns many as the Club
had hoped for. Only a small number
of ladies were present, but the meet
ing lacked nothing in interest. Those
who stay at home are always the los
ers.
Mrs. F. J. Dishner, gave a most con
vincing and interesting talk o% the
Township Library, setting forth its
advantages, its needs, and opportuni
ties. Women are urged to patronize
their library, and have tiieir children
do so. The subject of the “Story Hour”
which so many libraries have on Sat
urday afternoon, was brought up and
discussed, and Miss Catherine Loy, a
member of the Senior class Hit the
O’Neill High school, demonstrated
s-tory telling to an imaginary group
of little children. This was most en
tertaining to the hearers and showed
wlint might bo done in that line. Peo
ple of O’Neill are urged to make dona
tions of Juvenile books to the library,
as those are what are most needed at
the present time. Miss Miriam Gilll
gan gave a. very beautiful piano solo,
which 'was much appreciated.
Miss Ilia Purcell, favored us with a
reading which was much enjoyed, r.nd
after that Mrs. Dishner served a de
lightful lunch to ' preaert. div
Ing which a re?: octal hour we *
joyed.
