A few years ago lie was married

ha, Rev. W. H. Rayley of Omaha,

membe;r Mr. and Mrs. Samuel of
Wymore and Mrs. Freer of
Omaha.
BAD ROADS DID IT.
A farmer old, so we've been told,
With a team of horses strong,
Drove down the road with a heavy load
While singing his merry song.
Rut his mirth in song was not so long,
For bis horses gave a leap,
As be ran amuck in the mud he stuck
Clear up to his ankles deep.
Had roads did it!
And a wheelman gay went out one day
For a joyful morning spin.
With the weather bright his heart was light
As he left the country inn.
Rut he went not far when he left a jar
Which started his trouble and cares.
He was laid up ill, while the doctor's bill
Came in with the one for repairs.
Rad roads did it!
In an automobile of wood and steel
A millionaire prim and neat
Went out for a ride by the river's side
In style that was hard to beat.
Rut, alas, he found that the broken ground
And the ruts and the holes so great
Had smashed a wheel of his automobile
What he said we cannot relate.
Rad roads did it!
Rut we're glfid to say there shines a ray
Of hope that will right this wrong,
When in every state they will legislate
To help the good roads along.
So the man with his wheel or automobile
Will never again get blue,
And the farmer with smiles will travel for miles
On a road that is fit to use.
Good roads will do it!

THE PRESBYTERIAN BOYS

Dinner and Outing.
A month or so .ago the boys of
the Presbyterian and M. E. Sunday
schools agreed to play some ball
Interment was and they also agreed that the los
ing side would treat the winners
to a picnic, this picnic to be given
a few days after the contest had
been closed.
The first game resulted in a
victory for the Presbyterian boys,
but in the second game the boys
of the Methodist Sunday school
won. In playing off the tie the
Methodist boys succeeded in win
ning again, and consequently
were entitled to the treat, the pic
nic. The Presbyterian boys im
mediately got busy, planned and
arranged for this picnic. A very
appropriate place was selected, il
being the ball park on Chicago

decided to hold the picnic yester
day.
Early in the morning the boys,
chaperoned by Mr. Pierson of Ihe
Methodist Sunday school, wended
their way to the ball park for Ihe
purpose of having an all-day out
ing ami to make good their agree
ment. The boys spent the greater
portion of the day in playing ball,
all sorts of sports, puns and
pranks which boys like to indulge
in. and various games, but the
principal amusement was derived
from an endless number of games
of the popular game of ball.
At the noon hour a fine picnic
dinner was spread on the green
beneath the spreading oak tree,
and after having eat and eat and
eat until they could not eat any
more, the boys concluded that
they had thoroughly relished this
picnic dinner and they say that it
was a dandy. The remainder of
the afternoon was spent in play
ing some more hall, and then all
dispersed. The Methodist boys
report the Presbyterian boys know
how to get up a picnic dinner,
even if they don't know how to
beat Ihe Methodist boys playing
hall.
