A Boy's Complaint.
I ain't a coward: I can stand
A lot of pain you bet.;
I air.'t afraid of snakes an’ toads
Nor llckin’s that I get.
I ain’t like girls that always has
A lot of foolish fears;
The only time when 1 quack is when
Ma goes to wash my ears.
The dentist never frightens me;
The doctor doesn’t scare:
I’ll take his nasty medi-sun
An' all thumpings bear.
An' I don’t run away an'‘bide
Beeoz the policeman nears;
The only time I yell is when
• fa goes to wash my cars.
She grabs me round the naek an’ says
“You dirty little pig!'
An with the roughest towel she
Begins to dig an’ dig,
An’ 1 commence to howl and shreik,
An' shed honest tears;
| I'd rut her have a tooth yanked out
Than have ma wash my ears.
The poets sing of woman’s love
An’ tenderness an’ grace,
An’ rave about her kindly ways
An’ praise her gentle face,
But then I guess they have forgot,
Through all the lengths of years,
How rough their mothers were at
times,
When washin’ out their ears.

be afraid to take one of these spec
ial offers. Its not a trick to get you
started. The Journal has greatly en
larged and improved each year and
lias been having a wonderful growth

our state capital it is especially the
paper for Nebraskans to read, and
it has an especially clean lot of read
ers because the paper itself is clean,

ionable medical advertising. The
Journal is thoroughly independent, and
has been making a determined fight
to have our representatives at Wash
ington do something to lower the
cost of living. •»

the news of the world, but a practi
cal, helpful newspaper, working in
the interests of the masses of Nebras

Ten Years Hence.
Here is the way the papers will
write up weddings ten years hence:
“The bride looked very well in a
traveling dress, but all eyes were cen
tered upon the groom. lie wore a
dark suit that fitted his form per
fectly and in his dainty gloved hands
ne carried a small rose. His curly
hair was beautifully done, and a deli
cate odor of hair oil of the best
quality floated down the aisle as he
passed. The young people will miss
him now-that he is married. He is
loved by all for his many accomplish
ments, his tender grace and his win
ning ways. The bride commands a
good salary as bookkeeper and the
groom will miss none of the luxur
ies to which he has been accustom
ed. A crowd of pretty men saw him
off at the depot.—Ex.

I^vst week The Tribune, in its an
nouncement of the new cement block
factory, which Putnam & Sons are
soon to put in operation, erred in
the firm name. We should have
said Putnam & Sons, instead of
"Putnam & Son,” as Mr. Putnam is
assisted very ably by both Charles
and John, who have invested in the
large business enterprises which this
firm are now conflucting, and will
soon increase. ,
Part of the machinery for the ce
ment products which they will put on
the market, has arrived. The re
mainder is expected to arrive some
time early in September.
PENNILESS AND HOMELESS
At One Time Comfortably “Fixed,”
But Now a Wanderer.
Robert Davis, who at one time
owned the 80-acre farm just north of
the home of David Helmick, reached
the home of W. B. Williams Sunday
evening after walking from Colorado.
It was his intention to find his old
friends, the Kimberlies, but the mem
bers of this family are dead or moved
away. Mr. Davis left here perhaps
twenty-five years ago. On the way, in
western Nebraska, he lost his route,
and wandered about. He does not re
member when he started, nor does he
know how long he was on the journey.
Once he was without food and drink
so long that his throat parched and
his tongue swelled, and he lay down
and covered his bead with his coat for
protection from the sun until the cool
of evening. Although of the same
namr( he is not related to the Daniel
Davis family who now own the farm
which wras once his home.—Stella

A BIG DEAL.
R. E. Grinstead Sold 713 Acres Near
Salem For $71,300.
Robert Greenlee of Glenwood, Iowa,
formerly a Richardson county resi
dent, made the deal whereby R. E.
Grinstead transfered his title to 713
acres of land adjoining Salem, to
Wm. Webster of Platte county. This
is one of the largest land deals ever
made in the county and the fact that
$100.00 per acre, for such a large
tract, was paid, speaks volumes for
Richardson county farms.
Burns-Taylor.
Mr. Harry Burns, aged nineteen,and
Miss Bertha Taylor, aged seventeen,

Dr. and Mrs. W. S. Fast of St.
Joseph will spend their vacation,from

WHITAKER BROS.
Alfalfa Profitable.
A farmer near Stella has eight
acres of alfalfa, and has already made
two cuttings this year, each cutting
averaging about two tons to the acre.
He expects to make two more cut
tings, and each will make about a
ton ,to the acre, making an entire
yield of six tons for the season. Last
spring he sold alfalfa in the stack at
six dollars a ton, so that shows about
the profit per acre. Scarce five years
ago alfalfa could badly be considered
a crop in this section, but now Rich
ardson county is considered one of
the banner alfalfa counties of the
state. Many of the farmers about
Stella are now successfully raising al
falfa and some have fields of forty
to fifty acres.—Stella Press.
