tain local reformer were found in

ary 10 There are others. Janu
ary 20 I'm not so worse. Janu
ary 30 Be good and you'll be lone

Ex.
J. M. Lane has returned from
an extended visit in Minnesota and
northern Iowa after nearly a year's
absence from this county. Mr.
Lane visted his two daughters at
Spirit Lake and spent a part of
the time at Jackson , Minnesota. He
expects to make his future home
in Nebraska and will be content to
stay here rather than any plaee he
has been during his visit. Mr.
Lane was formerly the proprietor
of the meat market at Cody and is
well known in our county.
The following is a pretty good
story that is j.oing the rounds ,
which you need not believe if you
don't want to : A farmer in Ind
iana had a novel experience. A
few years ago he built a small barn
and in its construction used green
willow posts at the corners and
along the sides. For some time
nothing unusual was noticed , but
after a year he saw that whereas
he had laid the iloor near the ground
it was three feet above the soil.
He discovered that the willow posts'
instead of being dead , were alive ;
had taken root and were growing.
In their upward movement they
had carried the barn along. Last
spring the barn was on stilts nine
feet high and he put in a ne .v-floor
and surrounded the posts with sid
ing , thereby making a two-story
affair. There is now a space of
seven inches between the new floor
and the ground and the owner ex
pects to have a three-story barn
in the course of time. Ex.
Dr. Seymour wishes to call spec
ial attention to the fact that he will
be here but one day only. His
patients and friends should keep
this in mind , and call upon the doc
tor in ample time to permit a thor
ough examination to be made.
Consiiltation free.
Where To et The
I was thinking just this evening ,
Ab I laid the paper down ,
What a blessing- a local paper ,
In the country and in town.
Where the news are not all extracts ,
From one printed a month ago ,
But of everyday lives and doings ,
Of people whom we know.
Its not filled up with ' 'Its reported. "
"We have heard" or "It is said" ,
But tells you in plain simple words ,
Who is married , sick or dead.
Of the rise and fall in prices ,
Of the temperature high or low ,
In fact it always tells you ,
All vou really need to know.
And when we've pursued its columns ,
All its pages have unfurled ,
We find it alive to the workings.
Of the busy outside world
Of the strikes , the trusts , the tariffs.
And of things that are to be ,
Of the wars in foreign countries ,
Many miles across ; the sea.
So don't let advertisements fool you ,
Or idle talk your brain confuse ,
But stop and-listen while we tell you ,
Just where to get the local news.
If you wish to know the simple facts ,
And to get the news down pat ,
We refer you without partiality
To THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT.

.Editor' * Dream.
Last evening I was talking1 ,
With an editor aged and tfray ,
Who told me of a dream he had ,
I think 'twas New Year's day.
While snoozing in his office ,
The vision came to view ,
For he saw an angel enter ,
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said the angel , "I'm from heaven ,
The Lord just sent me down ,
To bring you up to glory ,
And put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend to everyone ,
And worked hard night and day ,
You have enlghtened many thousand.
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory ,
For you have labored hard ,
And the good Lord is preparing ,
Your eternal just reward. "
Then the angel and the editor ,
Started up toward Glory's gate ,
But when passing close to Hades ,
The angel murmured , "wait ,
I have got a place to show you ,
It's the hottest place in hell ,
Where the ones who never paid vou ,
In torment alvvavs dwell "
And behold ! the editor saw there ,
His old subscribers by the-score.
And grabbing up a chair and fan ,
He vyished for nothing more.
He was bound to sit and watch them ,
As tney sizzle , singe and burn ,
And his ees would rest on debtors ,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Sain the angel , "Come on editor ,
There's the pearly gates I see. "
But the editor only muttered ,
"This is heaven enough for me. "
