About two weeks ago, young Ures, who has barely reached his major ity, called at the home of Jacob Eberle, hte step-lather of the young lady and escorted Miss Karl to a dance in the neighborhood. It was in the early hours of the morning when he returned with her and the step-sather took exceptions to the lateness. He attempted to show his disapproval by a physical display of violence with Miss Karl as the ob ject of his wrath. She left home immediately and went to the home of a neighbor. When young Ures heard of the treatment the lady had received he curried to an interview with the obstreperous parent and left the marks of his disapproval all over the countenance of Mr. Eberle. The next week the young people were married.” A Hood Wind Story Edgar Howard, editor of the Col umbus Telegram is touring the south and in the last issue of his I paper his readers were favored with a very interesting letter of his trip through Oklahoma In the letter he takes occasion to tell his readers that the winds of Oklahoma are more severe than those experienced in Nebraska It being a good one we give it to our readers: “It has often been said that the wind blow’s in Nebraska. Don’t you believe it. Nebraska people are not acquainted with wind In fact they have never felt a wind, and will never be able to under stand the meaning of the word un til after they have visited this country. The natives tell some big wind stories. Some of them are too large to believe. Yesterday a na tive said to me: “We never have such bad wind storms as we used to have. First year I came down here I landed in a wind storm and didn’t get out of it for four weeks. I tried to run a wheat drill. The wind was so strong that three horses could not pull the seeder against the wind. I hail to drive all the time with the wind. I put four bushels of wheat in the drill when I started out. I pinned a pair of grain sacks on the sides of the middle horse to keep the others from rubbing his hair off, an 1 what do you think? After running those four bushels of wheat through the seeder 1 noticed that the sacks on the horse looked heavy, and upon investigation I found that the wind had lifted two of the four bushels of wheat right out of the ground and had driven it into tV mouths of those sacks on the horse. But that was several years ago, dur ing the time when we had wind storms in the territory. The w ind has not been blowing for several years, and maybe it will never blow' anv more.” I Official Call For Republican State Convention The Republicans of state of Nebras ka are hereby called to meet in conven tion at the Auditorium in the city of Lincoln, on Wednesday.

Pulpit, Pen and Gravestone A preacher came at a newspaper 1 man in this way: “You editors do I not tell the truth. If you did you j could not live; your newspaper would be a failure.” The editor replied: “You are right, and the | minister who will at all times tell j the whole truth about his members alive or dead, will not occupy the pulpit more than one Sunday, and ! then will find it necessary to leave town in a hurry. The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant j words magnifying little virtues into l big ones. The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone are the great saint making triumvirate.” And the great minister went away looking very thoughtfut, while the editor turned to his work and told of the surpassing beaut; of the bride while in fact slu* was as homely as a inud fence.—Christian Endeavor News.

After the incuba tion of the young has been completed the crops of the parent bird become thicker and secrete a sort of curd, with which the young are fed. This description of nourishment is neces sary for them, for if the young pigeons are deprived of it during the first week or two after hatching they are sure to die. A. P. CULLKY, President. W.
