; March 25 , 1904 THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE . 7 FACTS AND FANCIES. BY ALLAN D. MAY. . , , A man cannot be said to have supported a ticket until he has . . voted it. We believe that we prefer a genuine January blizzard to a . " ' . March rain. Last Thursday wasp St. Pat- rick's day but we did not see anybody - body planting potatoes. After all , it won't be long un- til Chancellor Andrews has for- gotten all about it. , ' In re-counting the good things . Of this world don't overlook the republican county is et .

If aU the low-lands in Richardson - son county were protected from floods and then planted in wheat and corn , what would the harvest " be ? . Whenever the monotonous - . " ' . ' , . - , grind of a newspaper office bears ' " , heavily upon us and we desire , a i , . \ " change , we step over into Joe r' ' ' .J : - ) Geigers fiddle factory , conserva- ; , , " tory of music , shot gun infirmary . and padlock hospital. Joe always - I ways gives us the glad hand and tenders us a chair beside his genial - ial hearth and there we' si t and see things that cannot be seen . from any other point of view. A ; ! : man comes in with a debilitated I . I ; shot gun on which he wants an Ii ' operation performed. This gun was originally a musket and ' probably saw service at Fort . Ticonderoga or at Yorldown. It afterward becam\ an heirloom and was handed down in some , off' family from generation to gener- ation. At some Point along the line its six foot barrel was bore I out smooth and the present shot gun e\'olved. In the last seventy- . five years it has been used to ' - 'rte : ' . shoot geese in Canada alligators : . . , . " - - . . . " ---l I - iiii i ii in Florida , Indians in Nebraska and horse thieves in Wyoming. Old age has marked its stock with worm holes and its barrel with rust holes but the owner can't understand what is the mat- ' ter with it , and wants Joe to give it a course of treatment and he takes the case. He works for hours whittling out a new bar- rell , or putting on a new flint or carving out a new stock , and then when when he charges the owner fifty cents that individual gets mad and says that the pa- tient gun doctor is a sheep in wolfs clothing and threatens .to shoot him. About this time a man comes in with a saw to be filed. Joe casts his eager eye along the row of bristling teeth , then fastens the blade in the vise and begins. As he draws the file gently back and forth , the sweet strains grow loud and louder ; the air vibrates with harmony , nature seems to pulsate with melody ; it is as though the pearly gates had beerr thrown wide open and that mortal ear had suddenly become attuned to the music of celestial harps. But alas , into an har- mony some discord must come. In there comes a man who tales down one of Joes fiddles and without even tuning with the saw strikes up the. latest plain quadrille that has become popular - lar in Rush Bottom And so saw and fiddle contend for the supre- , I macy and there comes to the mind of tM listener that passage of scripture that refers to weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth Joe Geiger makes he best violins we have ever seen but it is so unfair to expect them to contend with the lamentations of a saw that is having dental work done. A genuine Strad- ivarius would hardly stand the test. It always happens that at this point a hundred men call to subscribe for The Tribune and we are called to the office to make out receipts.
