BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Life of Grandma Gilbert.
Abigail Moon was born in St. Law
rence county. New York July 29, 18:17.
At the age of seven she moved with her
parents to Illionis. and a few teirs
later to Dcleware county. Iowa.
At the age ot ten years she was con
verted in a little Sabbath School super
intended by Beale Ward, who afterw ard
entered the ministry. She joined the
Baptist church, and is still an active
member, loving It more dearly as the
years go by.
July 4th, 1859, she was married to
John A. Gilbert, who died some nine
years ago. Eleven children were liorn,
six of whom died in infancy.
With her husband and children she
moved to Nebraska in 1874, making the
journey in a wagon in the dead of
winter and suffering untold hardships
They reached their destination in the
northwestern part of Madison county,
on the Elkhorn river in March. Neigh
hors were few. and scattering Indians
came yearly and camped on the farm to
hunt, tish and trap and the deer played
! aboutfthe garden, coming almost to the
hous*.
Her husband's health had been
i broken in the Civil War, so she took up
the burden of building up a home in
the new location, and supporting her
| young children, with the little help her
husband was able to give.
Then came the three years of grass
hoppers. and things looked dark,indeed.
Crops were a failure; there was very
little money in the country, and work
was hard to get at any wager. Many a
day she worked all day for twenty-five
cents and took her pay in a scant allow
ance of potatoes or other food which
she carried home at night Two of the
children, unable to subsist on the
meagre diet, seemed starving before
her eyes. But even now she was to
find tfiat the Lord will provide for his !
own. A friend heard of their necessity
and sent a generous supply of fruit,
more than half of which was stolen by
the neighbor who brought it, but enough
was left to restore health to the ailing
children.
Then came brighter days. Her loom
was sent to her and by it she was al*le
to meet the needs of her family. The
work was humble, but so well and
faithfully performed that it was en
nobled.
She found time. even in her busiest
d tvs, to care for the sick, and many of!
j her old neighbors are ready to testify
| that it was her care that saved their
| lives.
In the autumn of 1884 she bought a
farm two miles west of Loup City,
where she still lives with tw> of her
daughters.
P’or years. Mrs. Gilbert, or ‘’Aunt
Abbie,’’ as she is affectionately called
l»y many of her friends here, has been
nearly blind, but the habits of a life
time cling to her and she feels bound
to be always busy. At any time you
may find her engaged in knitting, plain
sewing or trying to help the girls with
the chores or housework.
She is sure to be present at the ser
vices of the church and is joyously
looking forward to the time when she j
shall see, face to face, the dear Savior.;
she has so long beheld with the eye of j
faith.
If a man were to run a store bill and
then leave the country without settling
the account, he would be considered a
•lead beat. If a man were to take a
paper a year or two and leave without
settling for that paper or give liis
future address, and leave the post
master to advise the editor that so-and
so had left for other fields and the
paper was not called for, while so and
•o owed for the paper, whaf would you
consider him? And suppose another
same kind of so-and-so would refuse to
take the paper out of the office, for
which he had subscribed and not paid
fur and it came back to the editor
marked “Refused,” what would vou
consider him? The editor knows, savs
“damn” or something like that, writes
“D. B.” after the name, scratches the
thing’s name from the books and let’s
it go at that. Want to see some of ’em?

The Cabbage Hairworm.
From tests made it has been fully
demonstrated that the cabbage “snake”
or hairworm is a harmless thing, stdl
many are yet afraid to eat cabbage
(i'cular No. 02 has been recently
issued by the bureau of entomology of
the United States department of agri
culture and it deals fully m regard to
the mattpr. Mention was first mule
in 1003 of the “snake,” but it was not
until 1!>04 that much attention was
given to the subject by the public.
Then the demand lor cabbage and
kraut was so small tiiat many growers
were financially Crippled. Especially
was this so in Tennessee, Missouri,
low a, est Virginia and Virginia In
the former state 85 per cent of the
cabbage was lost. There w as a death
reported from eating a “snake” and an
effort was made to locate the place, but
it was like a will ‘o the wisp, always in
some other locality. The reported
death was traced to paris green which
had been used to sprinkle on the
cabbage and destroy the moths Hut
late years there is a parasite which kills
the worms that springs from the
m nth. Our renders can raise and eat
cabbage without the least fear from
the cabbage “snake” or hairw'orm.
Bouheur Bros’. Mascot Show
comes this year enlarged, improved and
bettered in every particular. They
hive added many new features that
are not to be seen except at the cost of
a trip to great cities, chief among which
are the realistic, beautiful and entranc
ing reproductions of that awful disaster
the eruption of Mount Pelee and the
destruction of St. Peiree on the isle of
Martinique, being operated and pro
duced by costly and efficient electrical
effects requiring nearly a mile of
beautifully colored films. In the chil
dren's department may be seen the
most beautiful liliiputiao ponies in
amazing acts and features; the cutest
dogs in all the world in tricks that have
never heretofore been considered
possible; the amusing little monkeys
with such expensive faces resembling
the elfin men of fairy tales and the
solemn-faced baboons in reckless race
riding and comic hurdle leaping on the
backs ot the pigmy ponies competing
with skillful bareback riding dogs, and
last but not least comes Master Billy
and Mrs Mammy Goot and their whole
family in a school of human-like capers.

and scientific demonstrations have
