Mud Klinger \ N \ bee*9* Prairieland Talk — Lowrie Courtship Carried on in Top Buggy Drawn by Bay Horse By ROMA1NE SAUNDERS A LINCOLN — From a personal letter I learn that Rev. and Mrs. IV. J. Lowrie observed their ?olden wedding in August at their Minnesota home. Reverend Lowrie’s brother, Clinton, a retired minister, was among the rel atives and friends who were guests. He also mentions a visit from his 2 sisters, Helen, a widow, and Flo ra, with her husband. Judge Donohoe. The Lowrie family. Rev. and Mrs. N. S. Low Saunders rie and children, were among the early residents in O’Neill, their home being on Everett street be tween Second and Third. Congratulations are in order for Will and his esteemable wife, and should I have the pleasure again of contacting them this coming winter out in San Diego, Calif., I will ask Mrs. Lowrie how come she tut up with Will for 50 years. But that the melody of the wedding bells lingers af ter the passing of half a century is of special interest. The romance bloomed and courtship was brought to fruition in a top bug gy drawn by a little bay horse I had raised, broke to saddle and harness, and sold to the elder Reverend Lowrie who took “Doc" to Lincoln when the family mov ed there. Will and his lady friend, a farm girl, drove that little bay about the countryside while both were taking work at the state university. And the horse and buggy have not yet been outclass ed for such purposes.

Theodore Roosevelt, in command of the Rough Riders, went to Miss Barton to buy some of that car go’s dainties for his sick and wounded men. He was informed nothing in that cargo was for sale. “But, Miss Barton, the need is urgent. How can I get some of these supplies?” urged Colonel Roosevelt. “You may have all you want by just asking for it,” re plied Miss Barton. Not for sale. The best things in life cannot be bought. The verdant loveliness under the blue of early autumn skies, the charm of gay colors, the blooming goldenrod, a day in the open field in the mild September —nature invites the weary pil grim, the hard pressed with fi nancial stringency to take their fill, "without money and without price.” Friendships, the tender ties that link two souls, the broth erhood and fellowship of kindred minds and communion with the Infinite. These cannot be bought —take your fill by “just asking for it”! * * • A half century ago the stam pede was on for the Yukon in search of gold.

Many old timers who learned the trick of self-support through the ne cessity of of root hog or die look upon the assistance setup as a work of charity and do not care to be so counted if able to shift for themselves. Others of the aged have ample means and still oth ers are in the care of friends. Many who receive aid find it ne cessary because of misfortune, others have neither the gift nor the urge to “lay up treasures on earth.” Maybe after all old Doc Townsend had the best pension ideas ar.d it could well have been financed with the dollars that have been thrown to the winds a cross the earth, together with the “subsidies” handed out at home. But counting the number “on re lief” those holding jobs under the setup should be included. • * • Will the editor stand corrected’ There were no “sod shanties,” “The Little Old Sod Shanty On My Claim” to the contrary not withstanding.
