Now that the election is over, we
are frank to say wo are mighty glad
of it.
There has been n great deal of bit
terness in the past campaign and old
friends have found themselves clawing
and hauling each other over tho coals
In anything but a frieudly fashion.
We are glad the election is over.
We hope the next legislature will
pass a law doing away with the pri
mary system.
Doing away with elections every two
years making all terms of ntllce four
years and limiting to only one term,
Now that the cleotlon is over let us
all turn our attention to Red Cloud.

YOUNG MEN DREAM DREAMS
Their Invention la More Lively Than
That of the Aged, taya
Bacon..
A man that Is young In years may
bo old In hours, If ho has lost no time.
Generally youth Is like the first cogi
tations, not so wise as the second, for
there Ib a youth in thought as well
as In ages; and yet tho invention of
young men Ib more lively than that of
old, and Imaginations stream Into
their mind better, and, as it were,
more divinely. Natures that have
much heat, and great and violent de
sires and perturbations, are not ripe
for action, till they have passed the
meridian of their years; but reposed
natures may do well in youth.
On tho other side, heat and vivacity
In age is an excellent composition for
business; for the experience of age in
things that fall within the compass
of It, dlrecteth them. The errors of
young men are the ruin of business;
but the errors of aged men amount to
but this, that more might have been
done, or sooner. Young men, in the
conduct and manage of actions em
brace more than they. can hold, stir
more than they can quiet; fly to the
end, without consideration of tho
means and degrees; pursue some few
principles which they havo chanced
upon absurdly; care trot to Innovate;
use extreme remedies at first; and
that, which doubleth all errors, will
not acknowledge or retreat them like
an unruly horse, that will neither
stop nor turn.
Men of age object too much, con
sult too long, adventure too little, re
pent too soon; and seldom drive
business home to the full period; but
content themselves with a mediocrity
of success. Certainly it Is good to
compound employments of both, for
that will be good for the present, be
cause the virtues of cither age may
correct the defects of both; and good
for succession, that young men may
be learners while men in age are ac
tors. And lastly, good for extreme ac
cidents; because authority followcth
old men, and favor and popularity
youth. But for tho moral part, youth
will havo the preference, as age hatb
for the public Prom Bacon's Essays.

What Alaskan Dogs Eat
Dogs In Alaska, when on the trail;
are fed once a day, after the day'a
work la done. They are never fed In
the morning, for If they were they
would fce lazy all day, or, what Is more
probable, would vomit up their break
fast soon after they got on the trail.
Dogs to work well, must he well fed,
and It Is false economy to underfeed
a dog. They are fed on a variety of
foods, Including rice, tallow, cornmeal,
and fish. If rice or cornmeal forms a
part of their food it must bo cooked.
Somo men prefer to feed their dogs on
bacon or fish, thus doing away with
cooking. Cooked food is cheaper and
more fattening than raw food, hut
the question as to whether dogs can
work better on cooked or uncooked
food Is one that wltl never be settled
so long as there are "mushers" to
argue the question The Wide World

Man Hat Dog.
On a very windy day a man Ib walk
lng along tho street with his dog. An
extra fierce gust of wind takes off the
man's hat and sends it rolling and
skipping.
"Hey! Rover!" shouts the man to
the dog, and tho dog bounds after tho
hat
A flno, Intelligent animal that; In re
trieving the hat ho saved his owner a
lot of work and trouble, you think; but
wait a bit.
Now that Rover has got the hat a
playful strenk strikes him and before
ho brings it back he rolls tho hat
around on tho sidewalk whero he has
nailed it and gets it pretty dusty aud
ho winds up by slamming a big dent
In tho crown.

My Son's
ja
Wife
Somewhere in this teeming world
there dwells a little girl who some
day will be my son's wife, Perchance,
Indeed, she Is but numbered among
the potentialities; in the land of tho
unborn she may be shyly lingering.
For the prospective bridegroom, albeit
he fills his mother's heart, exists only
In miniature. His Joyous run Is peril
ous and uncertain. The little linen
suits be wears call forth amazed
comment at their maturity. Nathless.
two years is no unfitting Interval
'twlxt spouses. My son's wife may
well be a fact accomplished. It Is aa
a babe, a newborn babe lying stilly
In a cradle, that I picture her.
And what la she like, this little
girl, I wonder; this little girl who
means so much to htm; so dear to me?
Does she He there plump or puny,
brown or llly-falr, serene or wailful?
And the cot she lies In, is it lace-bedecked,
berlbboned, hung with cur
tains of fair white dimity? Or stands
It bare and rudely fashioned of the
twopenny banana box?
But be she pauper or princess, I will
not cavil. In memory of that other
babe born in the stable, that other
babe worshiped of princes, I welcome
the daughter-in-law of the palace, of
the barn.
Yet these things are but trifles. I,
too, am the worldly mother. For,
princess or pauper, I would have my
son's wife well-born. I would have
her forebears people of honor, of re
finement. I would have this, although
I know that each new generation
brings a new opportunity. Humanity
Is a compound and not a mixture. The
elements fused together yield an Issue
strange and unaccountable. While
there is life there Is surely hope!
And yet and yet O little unknown
daughter-in-law, may you have been"
discreet in your choice of parents!
May you, at least, have found a moth
er who loves you; Indeed, It is' the
common, foolish wont of mothers.
May you have found a father who is
a gentleman to you, whate'er he bo
called ''otherwise!
But the little girl In her cradle has
already arranged her past. Blameless
or sinful, it Is already there. What
use la It for me to speculate? What
use la it for me to think of her at all?
I trow she .never thinks of me. She
never thinks of her possessions that
I guard so carefully; the silver 'tea
service at the bank In Hb soft tnisue
wrappings; the family's sole'dlaiKond
ring., She does not thlnk of iuph
things; she does not care. Yet could
I show them to her, she would gurgle
Joyously. In her baby eyes their
ahlne and sparkle would seem fair.
And perchance when she doth real
ize her treasures she will no longer
prize them. For my son's wife may
,be an artist, deeming crude valuables
distinctive of the loathed Philistine;
or a learned lady despising gauds and
baubles; or a little socialist, happily
certain that In universal earthenware
lies the cure of human HI. Yes; me
thinks my son's wife will be a social
ist. Daughter-in-law, I will resnept
your scruples; I will admire your no
ble discontent. You shall melt the sil
ver tea service; you shall aell It, 'and
print therefrom pamphlets, many
pamphlets, to reform the wicked pluto
crat But although my son's wife may
deem sliver teapots worthless, al
though ahe may consider pearls more
fitly cast before awlne, yet there Ib
one possession I am guarding that
she will hold very precious, one be
longing that awaits her for which she
will surely care.
Then, It la of this that I shall tell
her, this one thing of Importance. I
prate of silver services when I should
describe my son. Tall I see him for
his years, bis two years, aa he plays
on the sward before me; tall and ex
ceedingly sturdy. His eyes are brown,
but his hair curls goldenly. (Little
girl, are you not glad with me that
bis hair curls goldenly?) Strong he
is, and merry. When he hurts him
self he cries but seldom. Rarely Is,
ne vexed, what else Is there to tell
about blm? Ah, see, ho runa towards
me with his arms outstretched.
But perchance my unknown daughter-in-law
will feel that filial piety
concerns her not. Perchance ahe may
resent it. And yet it Is a desirable
quality. All tho things that I have
told her are desirable qualities; they
should tend to make a happy wife
For two years this son hath brought
his mother more happiness than she
had ever known. Is it not, then, prob
able that he will one day bring Joy
unto his wife? Little daughter-in-law,
I pray that my son, may give to you
as great a peace, as great a comfort
as he hath given mo. I pray, although
In truth the prayer Is more for my
son's sake than for yours, since you
are yet a stranger to me Oh, may my
son come unto his wlfo as unspotted
as he came to me. May he bo pure
In heart when he enters upon his sec
ond birth, the birth of the new dual
life! May he always, and whate'er bo
fall him, never cease In seeing God!
And so farewell, little girl. Faro
well, for in the surging crowd I can
not find you; I cannot hear your voice;
I do not know your face. To all my
eager questioning, to all my hopes,
my prayers, my fears, there Is but
one answer silence.
Meanwhile, I have ray son. Mrs
