Romance in Real Life
A Ravenna correspondent in Mon
day’s State Journal has the follow
ing interesting item of romance in
real life the parties being residents
of Bristol township,this county, and
whose marriage occurred in Loup
City week March 1st:
“Romance, that perhaps appeared
tragedy, marked the nuptials of Miss
Etliie Karl and Anton Ures, which
were celebrated here this week.
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.”

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.

Pigeon’s Milk.
The joke about pigeon’s milk has a
foundation in fact. 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.
