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? LOUP CITY August 23, 24, 25 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.
