Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders Miss Mildred Saunders visited at O’Neill a few days this week. Cecil Brown, of Amelia, and Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter and children * were at Burwell Tuesday. After an absence from home of nearly two weeks the compiler of the Breezes is again adjusted to the daily routine allotted to the “country gentleman.” Tom Eoolittle and Levi Clemens were over this way Wednesday putting the bridge on the town ship line in a little better state of repair. It had become unsafe although in daily use. The Elliott Carpenter family ex pect to move soon to BurwelL The Cutler family, who came to this community last summer from the Platte valley country, will occupy the place thus vacated. A few of the lesser lights of journalism defended the New Deal but a lot of the big boys of the dailies and magazines had the wind knocked out of them by the elect ion returns. Facts, figures, lurid and convincing arguments by the masters of letters fall before the crushing weight of a plunderbund. Mrs. Plank, teacher in the Berry school, received word Monday night of a disaster at the home of her parents at Omaha, resulting in the burning of the house, so she left at once to ascertain the full extent of damage and injuries. The two or three children attending the school had the day off Tuesday. Indian summer was introduced early in the week in the southwest. In the early evening the thin cres cent of the moon hangs just above the horizon in the west, flanked to | the south by two stars gleaming in gilded glory. The scene shifts each evening and the moon will show more and more until the full-round ed orb of the Thanksgiving season. Nature’s pictures transcend the fading baubles of the artificial. The annual miracle of the rising of the water level has begun down this way so that the dry beds of the water courses are showing pools of water. What is the cause for the autumn rising of water from be neath with unfailing regularity through this section is for more of a scientist than 1 to say. What is this we read? Seven teen thousand three hundred dollars tossed into Nebraska for the elect ion of a senator? It cannot be that Uncle George, arch enemy of trusts, boodle-rings and nuisances of Wall street has been susceptible to the filthy lucre method of gett ing votes. It apparently meant a lot to some interests for the vet eran senator to retain his congress ional togo. The great bridge spanning San Francisco bay—said to be the long est for the present—is pictured and discussed with true California pride. Holt county takes a share of it because a Holt county boy is the electrical engineer on this latest monster piece of construction. Carl Bausch, a son of Charles Bausch, of O’Neill, where Carl was bom, w'as selected from all other applicants for this important work. He has been in electrical work in coast cities for some years. There arises out of memory’s mists a Thanksgiving—or was it New Year—in O’Neill when I had the honor of being a colored, boy card bearer for a group of gay young blades of the day. The honor didn’t concern me but the two bits apiece I was to get from them did. It was ‘84 or ‘85. John Mann, John Hecker, John McDon ough, John O’Neill—believe that was all the John’s—Ed Kelly, Ed F. Gallagher, Will Hogan and may be one or two others of a like social standing, arranged a party to make afternoon calls. I was offered the job of accompanying them if I would black my face, wear white gloves, and take their calling cards to the door of the houses they pro posed to visit. Simple enough to earn two dollars, so the contract was closed. We started out in carriages from Jim Weekes, and I. R. Smith’s livery barns. A number of homes were visited and I scooted in, knocked at the door and presented the cards of the gentlemen. Graciously r'eceived with perhaps one exception.

I knocked at the door. There was no response. Then I went to a rear door, when “the mistress of the manshion came, mature of years—a graceful dame.” “You black devil, what do you want?” she flashed at me. Her beauty, her grace, took a sudden slump in my estimation. This with the further fact that one of those fellows failed to pay his two bits put a little crimp in the pleasure and profit of a two hours’ associ ation with the classy gentry of the town.
