Receiving- Some Fine Corn.
The Journal office has two very fine
ears of lar?e white corn that was
sent here to John Long by Earl Barr,
the brother of Mrs. Long, who is at
present located on a claim twenty
miles south of Limon, in Elbert coun
ty, Colorado, in the heart of the dry
farming country. He has been most
successful in his dry farming" and
has a great many acres under cultiva
tion. The friends of the young- man
here will be pleased to learn of his
success in his western home. The
corn sent back here is as fine as can
be found anywhere, and it is hard to
find an equal in this part of the
country.

Old Friend Dadly Injured.
The many friends in this city of
Moses Hiatt, who was for a number
of years a resident of this place, will
leam with the deepest regret of an
accident that befell him at his home
in Murray last Sunday morning. Mr.
Hiatt started to walk out into the
yard and neglected to put on his rub
bers as he left the house, and as he
rtepped out of the door slipped and
fell, injuring his shoulder quite bad
ly and bruising up his side consider
ably. He is quite well advanced in
years and has not been in the best of
health for the past few years, and as
a result of the fall is reported as be
ing in a most critical condition. It is
to be hoped that this splendid old
gentleman will recover from the ac
cident and soon be able to be around,
but the accident will lay him up at
the best for quite a while.

It is the story of a lit'.ie girl, the
daughter of a clergyman, who wu-
j k-ft an orphan at an early day. Sh..-
h id been tauuht by her father to play
"the glad game" under all circum
stances. On one occasion she had bee.i
looking forward to the coming of the
"missionary" Lox, which was a reir
uiar contribution of all sorts of
things, by members of the church de
nomination to which hrr father be
longed. She wanted very much to
have a dull, and she was expecting
that the next missionary box would
contain this treasure.
While her father was opening the
box. slip stood on tiptoe, her little
heart beating fast with the same ex
pectancy which older hearts have had
:.o"-ad ether of life's dreams. S'ie
was more than disappointed to find
that instead of a doll the only novelty
the missionary box contained was a
pai1- of crutches.
Then it was her father turned to
her and told her, "Now is the time to
play the glad game."
"But what." asked the little girl,
"can anvone find to be glad for over a
pair of crutches?"
"That's easy," raid her father, "yo i
can be very glad that you do not have
to use them."
The child was taught to play this
game with respect to all the events of
her life. When her father passe 1
away, she went to another town an.l
entered the home of a maiden aunt,
who, having had disappointments of
her own was sour and surly. It
seemed her part in life to run up
against all the grouches in the com
munity, and sooner or later, she
taught them one and all to play "the
glad game," thus biinging happiness
iito their own live.-', and transforming
the community's chaos into on'r.
"The g'ad game" is pretty hard to
nl;v in nrvlilics: but even in that
heart-crushing and head-breaking do-
main, it may ns played ry tno. e wno
undeitake it in a big way thj ane
can be played only by big people.
The Nebraskan suggests that after
you have read the little book to which
it refers, you join with one another in
playing "the glad game" in Nebrasna.
You have both been honored by the
people of this state. The men of your
party who have faithfully followed
you when there were no offices to give
out are glad of the honors each of you
has won. They are just a s anxious
also that other and humbler demo
crats in Nebraska shall be given hon
ors, so far as concerns iho federal
offices in this state where the repub
lican holders' terms have expired.
If you do not know that, on th:.;
.score, the democrats of Nebraska aie
disappointed in both of you, then let
this epistle of love be your eye-opener.
The people of Nebraska understand
that no great principle is involved in
the trouble that prevents the filling of
these; Nebraska vacancies. Thay know
that it is all the result of a personal
quarrel. Out of that quarrel have
grown hatreds among your Nebraska
followers who would otherwise .?
living on terms of peoce.
If you two men will get together
and assist in filling these vacancies in
the spirit of service to the public
welfare and service to the party that
has honored you, you will have done
something that will mean much more
than the mere giving of certain of
fices to certain men. You will have
set an example to the democrats of
I wish to impress upon the minds of all
my friends and patrons that I have re
ceived and opened up a new fresh and
complete line of groceries in the Gorder
building, opposite my old stand on .Main
street, where I am ready and willing to
supply the trade with any and everything
in this line. I will conduct my business
in this location awaiting the completion
of the repairs on my former business place.
I will be pleased to meet all my old friends
and patrons, also all new ones who care
to favor me with their patronage.

be the means of reuniting many old
lime friends who have been estranged
by your quarrel. Your patronage
quariel has Wounded the party pride
of thousands of democrats, who do
who, while coming along the walk on
the west r.ide of the court house yes
terday morning, fell and bruised his
left wrist and side quite painfully, al
though not seriously, it is thought.
This walk has been in very dangerous
shape, as it was practically one solid
sheet of ice, but the warming weather
has allowed the removal of the ice and
it is now safe for travel.
Notice to Sons of Herman.
Number Cet Bad Falls.
During the snowy and sleety
weather of the last few days quite a
number of our people have received
rather severe falls on the icy walks,
not want the offices themselves, but ! and among these was Joseph Fetzer,
ivho dislike to be twitted with the
charge that democrats have not men
with sufficient ability to fill thes2
offices.
Why not, then, play "the glad
Tamo" in Nebraska?
ihe .Nebiaslca democracy is pre
nai ing to unite in solid phalanx be
hind Woodrow Wilson in 1C'1. You
itntlemen are recognized as leaders
;n the state. If you are real leaders,
then lead us not. into the temptation
'.o quarrel in Nebraska, as you are
doing in Washington.
But lead us along lines where
atred and malice do not grow with
rn!iiwvil ft" 1 i:. t ion
Leal us into that atmosphere
where roiit'es is the science of gov
ernment rather than the art of hull
ing the biggest epithet.
Lead us as men with big purpose
for accomplishment, rather than as
angry boys bent upon tearing out one
another's eyes.
Lead us into the "kingdom-of-never-grow-old,"
where only those are
admitted who have learned to play
"the glad game" in their intercourse
with their fellows.
You will probably ignore this ap
peal; but should you act upon it you
will le happier for it; and when the
shadows of life begin to fall for both
of you when political quarrels are
things of the past the recollection of
the "glad game" you played before a
delighted Nebraska audience may
bring up a kindly thought of your
old comrade and would-be benefactor,
"MET."
