Town There is not a town in the coun try , or if there is , we have not seen or heard of it , that is not possessed of characters known as town loaf ers. These town loafers arc people ple who never seem to have any thing to do , and yet they always seem to have plenty of money and wear good clothes. Sometimes we see him in the per son of a boy , and sometimes in a man who ought to have some legit imate business in the world. No town is big enough to. have room for these idle and dangernus members of society. They serve no useful place in the world , and their example is bad in any community. Parents should be especially careful or the boys upon whose future they have built such hopes will become hopelessly incurable loafers. Parents are to blame for this state of things- , because they do not find employment for their boys. An idle boy is not likely to make an industrious man. The old adage so often quoted is appropriate in this connection : "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do. " Western Rancher. Wood Lake. Frank Day has returned home again.

Frank Mum ford is tjilking of go ing to Sioux City in search of his horse. The hounds are making the lives ol the coyotes and rabbits very di'ar in these parts. One paper says that if Bryan wants to be president he'll' have to go to Europe to run. Duty is not necessarily disagree able , though we usually think of it with martyrdom in our minds. Mr. Bryant and wife have been very sick the past two weeks. A doctor from Valentine was out to see them. i A telephone has been put in by H. Harper of this community which , connects Mr. Shell bourn aricj Mr. , Nollett's. There are several others talking of joining on. The mind has certain vegetative power which cannot he wholly idle.

How does he know since resistance has never been at tempted. i The pucker's combine is going in- j to cattle growing on a large scale. We wonder if , from force ot habit , they will bunco themselves when 1 their own ca.tle get to market ? ! Drs. Campbell and Brown were consulting Mrs. Guuderson's case last Sunday. The first named doc- I tor purely has the credit of rrising the three children through their ill ness. ! The rural telephone is spreading by leaps and bounds. Every line built fertilizes the seed for other lines and every community of farm ers and ranchmen that enjoy the telephone is the envy of neighbor ing communities until the last also get phones. Tiie pleasure and con venience of them cannot be express ed in words , and the saving of time pays their cost a hundred fold every year and where the lines are cooperative erative the cost to each patron is too small to count ; or the interest on an instrument of about § 25 or § 30 is practically the whole cost. : No family that has enjoyed'apbone would surrender it for many times its cost.
