Lincoln Commer
cial Club En
dorses Tango
The capital city of Nebraska
has given official sanction to the
tango dances and great is the
weeping and wailing among those
who have looked with disfavor up
on the much abused human pic
ture.
It was all caused by the Com
mercial club giving a dance at the
club rooms, in which full sway
was given and people danced the
tango to such an exent that they
forgot all about about the music
and kept up the wiggling and the
twisting many minutes after th^
musicians had fallen from their
chairs exhausted.
They danced in the ball room;
they danced in the hall ways; they
danced it in the reception rooms
and swayed backward and forward
up in the balcony. Everybody
seemed to feel the inspriation of a
Deslys and turned things loose to
beat the band.
In fact they felt so good over it
that they forced President Quig
gle of the club to promise to pull
off another stunt of the same kind
as soon as possible.—Bee.
Have You Entered
Organized Agricul
ture Shows Yet?
Hundreds of dollars will be distri
buted to Nebraska farmers at the big
shows held in the Auditorium at Lin
coln during the week of Organized
Agriculture. Little of this money
will goto old show men for there are
classes for amateurs and professionals.
Those who win first prizes one year
are not allowed to compete with those
who have never won. The Ham and
Bacon Show is a new one so everybody
is on equal footing" there. In the
Horticultural Show new prizes are of
fered annually. In these shows there is
a chance for the juniors, in most in
stances special classes being provided
for them. In the Junior Show the
classes will call for corn, grain, pota
toes. and domestic science products of
various kinds. The samples which
win prizes in the corn and grain ex
hibit will be sent free of cost to the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas,
Texas. Any prizes won there will be
the property of the original exhibitor.

Severe But Pecu
liar Accident.
While plastering a house at the
Harry Bailey place the first of the
week Les Mason was the victim of
an unusual acfeident. He had just
finished the ceiling and was start
ing the side wall immediately over
a window when his scaffold tipped
and he fell, catching on the cur
tain bracket, which cut into his
wrist and in some way hooked in
under the cord in the forearm
hanging him for a space of time, i
His weight, however, was suffici
ent to pull the bracket down bring
ing a part of the window casing
along. He walked to town, a dis
f tance of a mile and a half, where
he had the wound dressed and
taken care of. It is n >t probable
that there will be any permanent
injury as a result but the wound
is very painful.—Ord Journal.

TILL GRANDPA DM
By H. M. EGBERT.
There were—let me see, there were
Cousin Jasper Haynes, Cousin Maria
Haynes, Cousin Thomas and Saman
tha Biggs, Lucy and Paul, and myself,
not to mention Grandpa and Grandma
Chittenden. They lived in Washing
ton, but the rest of us inhabited Tll
fleld.
Grandpa Chittenden was a Civil war
pensioner, and in the middle part of
his incredibly long life he had fount'
oil, I believe. Anyway, he was repui
ed awfully rich, rich enough to rua
all his grandsons and great-grant
daughters, which means Lucy, wealth
for life. And he was eighty-sere
ears eld, and Grandma ighty-five.
Tilfield was not tb? place that o
would choose to live in. It was
Little New England town, very Sabi
tarian, no-license, amateur fire briga
—you know the style. Some folk
night like it, of course, but, frankl;
jve Hayneses and Biggses and th‘
rest of us lived there because we ha'
oeen born there, and we were too po-’
o move away.
That is, till grandpa died. Evt
ear each of us would receive a L
er from him on the anniversary >
he battle of Gettysburg, in which 1
st a leg. Tib growing very feebP
would say, ‘‘and re *■« my dear v. i
lardly hope to survive the com.,
inter. God bless you, my dear
iul, Lucy, Samantha, Jasper, Thor
or Maria, as the case might b
e letters hardly varied. We use
compare thv.ii. la see if one v..
•re affectionate than -.he others, bu
e never found anything much tc
!!d our hopes upon.
utdn Jasper wanted enough mor
o settle in Florida and grow 01
s. Cousin Maria wanted a few
meand, more or less, to buy a home
California. Cousins Biggs were
ailing of a tour in Europe. Lucy
d Paul wanted to get married. As
v me, I was the only one who didn’t
!r t anything.
Ye hail reckoned that thore ought
be at least ten thousand apiece, and
■me of us were gating on in yeats
| ; d anxious to see the last of Tilfield.
.lUcy was twenty-seven and Paul two
ears older. Oh, why did Grandpa
ittendep hang on so?
Then an amazing thing happened.
„ brief letter came to each of us in
■•’■ming us that grandpa and grand
•
It Was Grandpa.
ma w'Te going to pay us a visit dur
ing the summer. He wrote that they,
would spend a day or so with each of
us. You can guess what a sprucing
up there was. Tom and Samantha
i'iggs fitted up a bedroom on the
ground floor, so that the old folks
wouldn’t have to walk- upstairs; Jae
*er had linoleum put down so that
randpa’s wooden leg wouldn’t scratch
he floor, and Maria went him one
letter. She bought a big, comfortable
hair, which she christened “grand
t’s chair,” for the old gentleman to
ast in. As for Paul and Lucy, they
ulked mostly. None of us had seen
;randpa for five and twenty years.
The day arrived and the tribe was
;athered at the station to welcome
’lim. Cousin Samantha had a bou
juet ■ of flowers for grandma, which
nade Maria feel out of sorts. But
randpa wasn't on the train.
“1 guess he wasn’t feeling well
lough to come,” said Cousin Thoms'
eaningly.
just tnen a smart touting car carat
i a standstill near us and an old
,entleman, who was at the wheel,
eated beside an old lady, turned and
ooked hard. It was grandpa!
“Welcome, grandpa!” we’all shout
ed eagerly.
“Ha, ha! ” chuckled grandpa. “Foole.
you young folks, didn't I? We though
we’d motor over instead of tak’ng the
train, and enjoy the country air.”
“Motored from where?” we asked.
“From Washington,” said grandpa,
with a chuckle. “Two days’ trip.
Slept in the open and ran past a dozen
police traps. One tire busted with
gunshot. Had to fix it”
“Well, that was the beginning.
Eighty-seven ? Grandpa was like a
hoy of fourteen, and grandma—well,
she might have been twenty-five. She
seemed, more sedate and responsible.
“Beautiful place,” said grandpa, as
he stretched himself luxuriously in
Cousin Maria's chair. *Tm thinking
of coming to live in Tllfleld. Yes,
cousin, when a man gets to be elderly
he begins to dream of a country home.
But say! I hope there’s good fishing
round here? And plenty of lively cdm
pany—what?"
Grandpa fell In with our plan r
him one dav at p-eb *•
after he had made the round he made
It again.
“I tell you young people, I’m falling
in love with Tilfleid,” he said. "Fine
crops. Fine soli. Fine girls. Fine,
sociable crowd. Yea, sir, I’m going
to build here and set ont an orchard.
With elms and maples. In the old
fashioned way. I’m going to be a Now
^Sngl&nder again."
Everybody was pretty glum by now,
for grandpa looked good tor a doses
ream or more. And then came the
day of the state fair.
By this time, In spite of our disap
pointment, we couldn’t help liking
grandpa.- He had told us_tbal he wee
•.voHTr a hundretTiii -V a' 'i . . -
was going to divide ic up among
eually, or, if we didn’t outlive h
smong our heirs. r"-: - T ■ ”
iug, the state fair came along, a
Howson, in his new aeroplane, tl.
new sort that turrs somersaults i
the air without uprott'ng. Of conn
grandpa had to go vitb grandma, ii
the automobile, and a1- here wasn
room for all of as, and mj wa
willing to let the others get ahead o.
him, we decided to walk and meet
them there. We tot there just as
Howson was going up for the second
lime. We saw grandpa’s auto all right,
but It was empty. That seemed |
strange. Grandpa couldn’t have wan- ;
dered Into any blind tiger, because we 1
knew he was a temperance man, and
he wasn’t the kind to he in a tent
with grandma, trying his hand at
spotting the pea under the thimble.
“Where’s grandpa?” I asked one^of
the assistants who had charge of the
aeroplane fixtures.
“What, the old gent with the wood
en leg?” he answered. “Why, he’s up
In the machine.”
“What, up there?” cried Cousin
Jasper, pointing to the aeroplane,
which waB doing the dip of death
about a mile over our heads. “And
where’s grandma?”
“What, the old fady? Why—ahe’a
there too!”
I heard a screafn behind me. CouBln
Maria was having hysterics. And then
the cry was drowned in the delighted
veils of the crowd as the machine, Uke
jt great bird, righted Itself and came
floating gracefully down and lit with
in twelve feet of where we stood. And
but stepped grandpa.
He turned and gave grandma his i
(land, and she came out too, and the
first thing she did was to box How
son's ears.
“There! That’ll teach you to be
more careful, young man,” she said.
'‘You’ve got that filthy gasoline all,
over my new lavender gown.”
Then the crowd went wild. They
took grandpa on their shoulders,
wooden leg and all, and carried him
round the grounds, and grandma fol
lowed, looking aB proud as Punch.
“Boys,” said grandpa, when they
set him down, “that was a foolhardy
thing to do. I ain't as young as I
was—I’m going on for eighty-eight—
and I'm a family man with responsi
bilities. No more aeroplanes for me.
I stick to the good old-fashioned auto
now and henceforward.”
1 heard a sob. Lucy ran out from
the crowd and fell on grandpa's neck,
und in a minute Cousin Maria fell
upon grandma’s, and Cousin Saman
tha followed suit, and in a minute the
whole crowd of women were weeping
and howling and begging grandma
never to let grandpa risk his valuable
life again. As for we men, we didn’t
know what to do, so we just shook
grandpa’s hand until our arms ached.
Now, the strange thing about It is,
grandpa was such a good sport that.
Instead of wishing him dead, from
that minute we began to think out
plans for prolonging his life. And the
things he did to Tilfield! Why, all
the reporters in the state were out to
see him, and we found out he was a
famous manufacturer, and he was
planning to carry power to Tilfield
from Colne stream and erect factories
pnd put up model houses and—
Well, grandpa is ninety-three now,
and he bought a new auto last week,
because grand--a'e getting pretty
feeble and the old sue looked out of
date. As for Tilfield, what with the
increasing value of real estate and the
life of the town, we’re going to hang
on as long as we can dt so.
Oh, yes, about that hundred thou
sand. What grandpa meant was that
he had that to give away, besides a
tool half-million invested. He divided
up among us, and Paul and Lucy had
their third baby last week.
Here’s hoping he'll round out the
century!
