A large attendance gathered to hear the program, and the final wind-up of affairs of the club. In the absence of the president, Mrs. J. J. Harrington, first vice-president, had charge of the business meeting. A letter of greeting from Mrs. J. P. Gilligan, president, was read, and conveyed to the club her regret that she was not able to be present, and also, words of encouragement, inspira tion and felicitation to the members of the club. This letter was received with much satisfaction. Reports of the year’s work were given by the different out-going of ficers, which made a good showing in all departments, and also, work done by the different committees. Especially worthy of mention is the report from the Welfare Committee. Mrs. Longstaff had charge of the progi-am for the day, and acted as toast-mistress in her usual happy manner, announcing each number with remarks which were apropos. Following is the program: Vocal Solo -Miss Agnes Carr Musical Reading _Mrs. Kubitschek Solo -Miss Eileen Enright Solo - Miss Irma Stout Mrs. J. J. Harrington gave a r#dew of the work of the club for the last five years, giving a brief history of its progress month by month and year by year. The summing up look ed very much worth while to those who had been somewhat discouraged over different phases of the work, and proved beyond a doubt, that the O’Neill Woman’s Club has become a very important factor in the well-be ing and well-doing of the City of O’Neill. We were very fortunate in having with us our old friend Mrs. P. J. Flynn, a former resident and also a member of the former Tuesday Club, of this city. Mrs. Flynn has for the past year held the position of Presi dent of the Plattsmouth Woman’s Club. She gave a splendid talk on the work of that organization, and gave us some good ideas for the future. The newly elected officers were then installed, Mrs. J. A. Brown acting as installing officer, and administering the obligation. The following officers were installed: Mrs. C. M. Daly, President. Mrs. J. F. O’Donnell, First Vice. Mrs. C. J. Malone, Second Vice. Mrs. W. J. Biglin, Cor. Sec. Mrs. Hugh Coyne, Rec. Sec. Mrs. Ben Grady, Treas. Mrs. G. A. Miles, Custodian. Miss Anna O’Donnell, Auditor. Then followed a social hour, during which a dainty lunch was served con sisting of sandwiches, pickles, coffee, cake and ice-cream was served, after which a beautiful boquet of flowers was presented by the members of the club to their outgoing president, Mrs. Gilligan. Mrs. C. M. Daly, newly elected president, made a very appropriate talk to the club, in which the work of the ensuing year was out-lined and heads of departments and chairmen of committees named. Club Reporter. Biggest Sensation in History of Drug Trade Created by Sensational Med icine. NOTHING LIKE IT HAS EVER BEEN SEEN HERE BEFORE The biggest thing in medicine today is Karnak. Nothing like it has ever been seen here before. Every where, crowds throng the Karnak drug stores, eager for the marvelous medicine that is producing such remarkable re sults. When asked to what he ascribes the tremendous popularity of Kar nak, L. M. Carroll, Special Kamak representative, answered: “Merit alone is responsible for the tremendous success of Kamak. • “Kamak brings about real and substantial benefits in the way of health, strength and vigor. It is a truly reconstructive tonic and body builder. And the prompt action of . its ingredients is remarkable. You can tell after the first few doses that you are being benefited in a natural, substantial way. One or two teaspoonsful of Rar nak before meals corrects disorders of the stomach, liver and kidneys, aids digestion, cleanses the system of impurities, builds up a natural afipetite for wholesome food and stimulates and revitalizes the en tire system. As a result you soon begin to fefel like yourself again, brimful of new life and energy. . Karnaek is sold in O’Neill exclu sively by Chas. E. Stout, and by the leading druggist in every town.

GREETING THE OAK. _____ (By Holt County’s Poet Laureate.) Well Old Friend! Again I gregt you Will you welcome me to-day? Or must I sit in solitude My gloom to cloud this day? I’ve come here daily for a week Yet no word from you I’ve had. Come, old friend, why don’t you greet me Your silence makes me sad. Welcome Jack: You’re doubly wel come. Every day I’ve wished to speak, But to protect my budlings __ I’ve stood silent and jfbt meek, For if Jack-Frost were lurking near me And should hear my greetings, low, He in anger would smite my darlings With his icy breath you know. The sun-light said; Behold ’tis sum mer! And bade me don my gayest styles, Yet Jack-Frost was only hiding Well I know him and his wiles, So I stood without a greeting Biding anxious budlets wait Until the day he hastened homeward And summer closed and barred the gate. Forgive me, friend, I meant no censor. I knew you’d welcome me at last, But day ago the humble cottonwood Gave me welcome as I passed. And the elder, and the willow, They all gave me welcome too. So my spirit was doubly saddened, To be ignored by only you. For the elder and willow All my pity is set apart But for you, true old faithful I have opened up my heart, There’s no room for any other There’s none now, nor e’re will be, I can only dream of Eden When I sit and talk with thee. Long and lonesome is the winter With its s:-:ow piled deep and high, Yet in evenings when in dreams All I saw was summer sky, With the snow piles turned to violets, Nodding heads be-decked with dew. All the whispers of the Faries Seemed to come direct from you. Once I dreamed that fall was nearing, And Jack-Frost was sneaking by: Faries said that in his anger He had vowed that you should die, But, just as he was about to stab you I gave such a lusty shout That I awakened from my dozing To find my fires all out. I have fought him many winters: Battles, many, I have won: And at end of a season’s victorys To my rings I add but one Until now they number forty So friend Jack why fear for me? Tho when e’ve my battles raging I wonder how it goes with thee. Let us close the book of pasts: * Let us revel with the flowers, For the future holds forth summer, With its promised happy hours. Let us dance and laugh and whispei With the fairies of the dell, Each of whom is on a mission, To make us happy, wish us well. You are right as again usual In contrition I confess Not another thought I’ll harbor Unless it wear a summer dress; And if you will only allow me As last year I used to do, Daily I will gladly come here To talk and dream with you. You have asked me for a favor Which is hardly mine to give For if you failed to come Jack I should hardly wish to live, So lets meet again and often, Let us dance the summer thru, Make the bonds of friendship tighter That are binding me and you. —F. O. HAZEN. Cure for Blietere Blisters, caused by the shoe rubbing the foot, develop into a real painful ulcer if they are not properly treated, Mr. Mann of Anytown learned. If pricked, some disinfectant should be applied immediately. The best way to let the water out Is to pass a bit of vaseline thread rhrough the blister. When the blister is on the sole of the foot where the skin is thick, take a fine white thread and grease It well with borated or pure vaseline. Thread u coarse needle and pass It through the blister from one end to the other. Cut the thread on each side and cover the spot with a bit of vase line. Next day draw the thread out. The blister will be gone. Blisters on the hand may be pricked with a needle and then covered with a layer of collodion one ounce, castor oil eight grains; soft turpentine eight grains. Two or three coats are re quired. Geese on Guard Wild geese are extremely wary, and take nothing for granted. While feed ing they have a perfect system of sen tries. Not content with this, every now and the® two or three will fly round high up to see thatjiothing is even approaching them from a dis tance. Their hearing Is very acute, and it is said their sense of smell is also. Cer tainly, If they are approached down wind, they are up and away at once, even If the greatest care has been taken to keep out of sight. They have a cry like a pack of pounds, which may have given rise to many of the legends of ghostly packs that are said to hunt an equally ghost ly fox St night. _____________ Teacher Blushed It was a lesson on punctuation, and Jimmy was almost asleep at his desk. “Now," said the teacher, “If I say, *1 must leave, as I have an engagement— By the way, what Is the time?’ I place a ‘dash’ after ‘engagement,’ because the sentence Is broken off abruptly.” At that moment she caught sight of Jimmy. “Now then, Jimmy, you are not lis tening. What was I saying?” she asked him. “Please, Miss Smith," said Jimmy, with a start, “you were telling us you said ‘dash’ because your engagement was broken ofT abruptly 1” The Frontier, |2.00 per year.

Little Geronimo Laughinghorse, 8 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Laughinghorse, half-breed ranchers residing on Skull Creek just above its junction with the Calamas a few miles above Beaver Flats, owes his life to Scar-Faced Billy, an educated tame pickerel belonging to Frank Barrett, a Calamas Valley ranchman. Little Geronimo was saved from drowning by the big pickerel last week when the fish dragged him into shallow water, where he could be as sisted by his companions, after he had gone down twice. Youn Laughinghorse and his sister, Pocahontas, attended the Skull and Bloody creeks valley school, located on the banks of Skull Creek several miles from the Laughinghorse ranch. At noon and during recess they and the other children are accustomed under the watchful eye of the school teacher to wade in the shallow watdfs of the stream. They were engaged in this sport last Friday, when the teacher was called away for a short time, and during her absence Geron imo ventured out beyond the wading beach stepped into a hole washed out by the recent floods. He was unable to swim and was already sinking for the last time when Scar-Faced Billy, who frequents the waters near the school house at noon time to receive bits of the children’s lunches, was at tracted by the screams of the other school children and rushing to the struggling young Laughinghorse, grabbed the youngster’s clothing in his needle-like teeth and dragged him into the shallow water. Scar-Faced Billy was found by Ranchman Barrett a number of years ago in an eddy of the river, suffering and almost dead from a jagged wound in his head received evidently from the spear of a carp fisherman. He' was cared for and nursed back to health by the ranchman and a warm r attachment afterward sprang up be tween the two. Since that time the big fish, which now weighs a little over 20 pounds, has frequented the waters near the Barrett ranch, keep ing them clear of carp. Each winter he is cared for in one of the large wated tanks in the ranch barns and is released again into the streams in the spring. The Beaver Flats fish and game protective association is having a ^ medal made which will be attached" to one of his fins in recognition of his most recent life-saving exploit. o(*Head “/Head or Sleeve*valve MOTORS* 0-All do better with BALANCED gasoline WHATEVER kind of automobile you drive, take gasoline serious ly.
