Christian Endeavor last Sunday was

THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT WOOD LAKE DEPARTMENT
LbRoy Leach Editor
The following verses are respect
fully dedicated to C A Johnson Esq
in memory of the past
WHEN BECKET CAME TO TOWN
Twas in the spring of 86 that Becket came to
town
That from the car steps clad in black he slowly
clambeieddown
He wasnt much to look at being somewhat an
gular
And he gazed in innocence around while getting
off the car
But he early demonstrated in accents Arm and
sound
That Becket was a talker tbe best for far around
He talked of spiritualism politics and home
And into Greek mythology with long strides did
he roam
He didnt seam to realize that there others
there
Who wanted chances equalized in the oratorial
chair
At last he spoke of Kansas aud of the flint hills
steep
And told us how the ranchmen there shod all
their little sheep
But here the boys objected and votes from all
were taken
Of which the larger portion said Becket was
mistaken
He talked from early morning until the shades
of eve
And even when twas bedtime he seemed to hate
to leave
But the boys grew rather weary and one night
ere seeking rest
Resolved to let friend Becket know that he was
in the west
Accordingly a notice was posted in the stores
Which read The Sioux are coming with knives
and forty fours
And when the shades of night same down and
settled oer the swells
The quiet air was broken by wild and woolly
yells
This proved effective Becket stopped and with
some chilly thrills
He grabbed his hat and large valise and started
for the hills
Then from behind large bonfires glowed wild
yells the air did shake
While in the thuudrous roar of guns Becket
swam the lake
Next day he wandered back again and in a qua
vering trill
Told how hed finally spied a light from off a high
sandhill
This proved to be a neighbors house who pity
ing Beckets plight
Allowed the man to enter and there he spent
the night
Wed like to see friend Becket now and should
he happen down
Wed take him round to see the sights in this
our little town
For oft in dreams we see him oft see his face in
pain
Just as it looked next morning when ho took
the east bound train
Friday evening May 15 at 8 p m
under the auspices of Hanna brothers
the entire adult population of the city
met at the Hotel de West and from
there proceeded to the home of Mr
and Mrs S Gr Barnes It was a com
plete surprise and the crowd some
fifty or more in number spent the
evening very pleasantly The party
was given in honor of the sixtieth
birthday anniversary of Mr Barnes
David Hanna made a humorous speech
to the genial host after which he pre
sented to Mr Barnes a handsome gold
watch the gift of the assembled
friends Alter the substantial refresh
ments were served delicious ice cream
and cake followed At a late hour the
guests took their departure after
wishing Mr Barnes many happy re
turns of his anniversary and a safe
journey to him and his wife on their
trip to Ohio where they intend going
at an early date to spend the summer
Another event of importance was a
party held the same evening at the
Hotel de West in honor of the four
teenth birthday of Johnnie West
Some thirty or more young people
were present including Miss Elsie
Sherman and Miss Allie Handy of
Valentine After an enjoyable time
at games etc refreshments were
served The gay crowd did not dis
perse until a late hour and everybody
expressed themselves as having had a
thoroughly good time
-
Quite an amusing time was had at
the races on the Champs Elysees west
of town Saturday Dennis Brothers
took first prize after which as their
horse did not run again a general
free-for-all race was run and as a
matter of course everybody beat and
went away satisfied that he himself
possessed the running horse of the
town However we all enjoyed our
selves immensely as it has een many
a long day since our burg has had a
good horse race We will have an
other next Satnrday

This is the last week of the most
successful term of school the editors
of this department have ever had the
fortune co attend and with this our
last work on the School Column we
wish to heartily thank the patrons of
The Democrat for the many kind
words they have spoken in token of
their appreciation of our efforts We
wish also to thank the editor for the
interest he has taken in our work and
the words of cheer and encouragement
given us when our hearts were heavy
and we thought the world more dreary
than it really is The benefit we have
derived from our editorial work in
this column has more than repaid us
for ihe time and energy spent and we
will try to be on hand at the opening
of the next term of school with a
column that will be not only a credit
to ourselves but to the school as well
