Nor between you, me and a Jew,
Pray answer me Miss Ken. writer,
This fair question I ask of you.
Why do you say “Mr. News Writer,”
Being you were so wise,
Why not have said Mrs. News Writer.
During all these terrible sighs.
Now because there are one -or two
love sick swains,
As you choose to call these spies.
Do not think we all have seines.
Trying to catch your cakes anil pies.
And as to your plotters and spies.
Again we plead “Not guilty.”
For we never tell lies.
And that would make us feel nihility.
And as to getting a date.
With a nickle or dime.
We would prefer to play pool quite
late,
Almost any old time.
And K. stands for Kensington.
And C. stands for Club,
And W. stands for Washington,
And R. stands for Rub.
Now did the kensington club.
They are so bright you know.
Give us the Washington rub?
Well I should say no!
Now, Miss Kensington Writer.
Who offered your aid,
We ask you another juestion,
“Do you feel repaid?”
THE KENSINGTON BEAUTIES.
Twelve kensington beauties sitting in

Look out boys you had better lie low.
Or you will get hooked just like a
chub.

AN EARLY DAY STORY
The following article was written
and put in type for publication in the
monthly Record but as we have now
discontinued its publication and sub
stituted the Weekly in its place, we
now give it space in these coluipns,
besides there are a number of people'
in and around Hay Springs and Rush- j
ville who are acquainted witii the sub
ject of this sketch:
We noticed a very interesting let
ter in the Northwestern of January 6,
from the pen of J. T. Hale, of Utah,
and in which he makes kindly men
tion of the many old friends he has
in Loup City. And while thus reading
we could not resist the temptation to
turn the tables and render unto Cae
sar the things that are due Caesar. In
other words, we believe it would be
a most fitting tribute in return for
Mr. Hale’s euluogy of the people of
Loup City to give a synopsis of his
life and sterling qualities while a
pioneer among us.
We do not know where Mr. Hale
was born or how old he may be. In
fact, we know nothing of his ances
tors and very little of his immediate
relatives, except that he has, or did
have, a brother, at Battle Creek this
state, and that he, J. T., wedded the
accomplished lady at that place, who
was afterwards introduced to us as
Mrs. Hale. And we want to say, now,
that the lady in question, because of
her ever kindly deeds is not to be
omitted in this story.
The first that we knew of Mr. Hale
was about 1878, when he blew into
town with a large herd of bronehos
which he had bought of the hroucho
busters of the Niobriara. He cor
ralled them on the then prairie just
east of where the milling plant now
stands, back of the old cottonwood
frame livery barn. “Troy,” sold
bronchos to the farmers for from $30
to. $70 each, and his first bunch was
disposed of so quickly that he came
later with another lot. “Troy” was a
sort of terror to our citizens, not be
cause he was of a quarrelsome nature
or was disposed to make trouble, but
because he wore shaps and cwried a
big Colts revolver in his belt, and
more especially because he was dar
ing and had no hesitancy in mount
ing the worst broncho that could be
found in the bunch. His big leather
saddle and saddle bags were appar
ently as heavy as the broncho that he
would often select for a free exhibi
tion. (In those days all such exhibi
tions were free, now they are put on
—^—■———
source of novelty and excitement, his
going left the effects similar to what
we are now experiencing after the
holidays are over.
Mr. Hale followed the occupation
of buying and selling western horses
for several years before settling down.
When he did settle down he married
and brtfught his good and accom
plished bride to live at Loup City where
he bought property and continued to
handle horses, mules, jacks and
jennys, and where he battled, with
the rest of us, for an honest living.
It is a compliment to Loup City
and her people, that Mr. Hale selected
this place of all other western towns
in which to make his home; for at
that time he had been in every west
ern town in Nebraska, and surely he
was in search of the best and most
prosperous place. And the people of
Loup City were not slow to appreciate
the fact. They recognized in Mr. Hale,
a man of energy and public spirit, and
in Mrs. Hale, a lady of benevolence
and kindly reeling towards an. Al
though they had no children except
by adoption, she was a mother in the
truest sense of the term. It was her
mission to look after the needy anil
to help the poor. Many a child's heart
has been made glad by the good of
fices she has so richly bestowed. The
beautiful cemetery to the north of
Loup City where lies many of our
loved ones, was made beautiful by
the helpful planning and working of
Mrs. Hale.—Hay Springs News,
HAS A FREAK APPLE TREE
Virginia Man Has Tree That Blos
soms Half and Half at
Sweet Will.
Marion, Va.—This seems to be a sea
son ot freakish manifestations in gar
den and apple orchards ot Southwest
Virginia. One ot the most peculiar of
these manifestations occurred on a
farm a short distance east of Marion.
An apple tree which heretofore had
borne its fruit in the natural and ac
cepted manner, blossomed in the
spring on one-half of the tree only,
not a bloom appearing on the oppo
site halt. Late in the summer, after
the first crop of fruit had matured and
been harvested, the tree blossomed
on the second halt, the fruit matur
ing in the usual manner. __
