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. It

“PRIDE OF THE ROCKIES” FLOUR
Highest Patent
BARNHART’S
was the last call and at the home
of a blue-eyed blonde. 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.
