Sparks Quills ,
A crowd of Sioux from the res
ervation was in Sparks Monday.
Mr. Bishop and son of Valen
tine were in Sparks last Monday.
Wm. Allen , Sr. , and Joe Bristol
have lost about 50 head of cattle
this winter.
Dick Osborne lost two head of
horses last week and lays it to the
dreaded stalk disease.
School was closed in the Bristol
district for two weeks on account
of the smallpox scare.
Frank Grooms received a box
of apples from eastern Nebraska
recently. Lots of apples and liver
now.
Henry Grooms upset a load of
wheat on the grade below the Al
len bridge recently. Henry has
lost several head of cattle in the
corn stalks.
Frank Johnson , of Iowa , and
who formerly lived at Sparks , was
here to spend.New Years with his
parents and other relatives. He
returned Saturday.
Mr. iN'ewland ' , who has been
sick for some time , grew worse a
few days ago and a doctor was
called from Valentine. At this
writing he is no better.
The smallpox scare has turned
out to be a reality , A.aron Grooms'
whole family being down with it.
It seems that that locality has been
pretty well exposed before it was
pronounced smallpox.
The telephone line running west
from Sparks , which has been out of
repair for three months so no one
could talk to Sparks on line one and
no connection with lines two and
three , was repaired Monday night
by lantern light and two and one-
half hours hard work. Your
humble servant did the job.
PORCUPINE.
W. C. T. V. Column.
Don't fail to get a new year
book.
The W. C. T. U. are taking
steps toward building a kitchen
onto Bethel hall.
We rejoice to be able to an
nounce that the case which was
t.'ied before the commissioners on
Jan. oth , was decided in favor of
' 'no saloon at Georgia. " When this
becomes the sentiment of every
town in Cherry county , then we
may look forward to happier days.
Then , we as a county , will become
a factor in the building up of a
great civilization. We can never
make America what we believe
God intended it should be "A
Beacon Light" to all lands so
long as this wrecking , blighty ,
blistering , damning influence of
the saloon is allowed to have its
"right of way" in any community.
We quote the following lines from
the Nebraska Issue : "There is
but one issue to this conflict. The
day of Judgment is sure to come.
Oppressed and suffering humanity
must have deliverance and relief.
The liquor traffic will be destroy
ed. The American saloon must
perish , for God is on His throne.
In His matchless name no foe can
stand before his federated church
and united people. "

The Man Fish.
Afathew Buchinger , mentioned in old
English wonder books as the "man
fish. " was the most remarkable mon
strosity of his time. He had neither
hands , arms , feet nor legs. From his
shoulders grew two flnlike excrescen
ces , and along his back there were sev
eral rows of scales. He had the lidless
eyes characteristic of the fish species
and a queer' puckered mouth and no
ears. . M *

An Abrupt Finale.
Joaquin Miller had just won recogni
tion as the poet of the Sierras and was
working oa a paper in Oregon. He
had been contributing verses and short
stories and bad just begun a tale about
the soldiers on the frontier who suf
fered with scurvy- The editor wanted
the scurvy story for the morning pub
lication , but Joaquin Miller could not
concentrate upon his work , nis mind
leaped to the anticipated joy of a great
social function occurring that evening ,
for at this time he was a social lion.
However , he had proceeded in his story
up to the point of the conditional cure
for the disease where all the soldiers
suffering with scurvy had been buried ,
with only their heads exposed to view.
The editor was yelling "Copy ! " The
poet's mind refused to work. He could
not finish the tale , leaving his soldiers
In such a plight. Suddenly an inspira
tion came to him. He grabbed his
pencil and wrote rapidly the following
words :
"And a she wolf came along and ate
off all their heads. " Then he made a
bee line for the door and was not seen
again until the next day. His story
was not published.
A Cause of Divorce.
"What is the most frequent cause of
divorce ? " the lawyer was asked.
"It is nearly incredible , " he said ,
"but a thing that causes-divorce oftener -
er than you'd imagine is married pee
ple's quarreling over their rightr to
open one another's letters. The hus
band will claim that he is entitled to
open the wife's mail. The wife will
claim that she Is entitled to open the
husband's. In the letters of neither
will there be anything of a private or
compromising nature , but nevertheless
they both want to get their mail in
violate it enrages them to have it
opened and read. Quarrels over this
letter opening question vex , I suppose ,
90 per cent of married couples. Of
this 90 per cent a distressingly large
proportion go on from bad to worse
till they wind up in the divorce court.
So , young man , when you come to mar
ry , leave your wife's mail alone , no
matter how she may pry into yours. "

Quick Wit Saved His Life.
"The strangest and most thrilling
piece of swordsmanship I ever saw , "
said the fencing master , "was in Ver
mont. I was spending the autumn In
a mountainous part of the state , and
there was a military encampment near
my hotel. One morning an officer's
horse started to bolt with the man
during parade and made at breakneck
speed toward a precipice. The offi
cer tried to stop the horse , tried to
turn his head no use. On dashed the
frantic animal straight for the abyss.
We all held our breaths. In another
Instant we expected to see horse and
rider go over the cliff. But the officer
when within fifty feet of the edge
drew his sword and plunged It twice
deep into the horse. The horse stag
gered , slowed , keeled over , dying. The
man had sacrificed the animal's life to
save his own. "
The Light That Failed.
It was by an accident that Mr. Kip
ling got his famous title , "The Light
That Failed. " He had almost decided
to call the novel "The Failure. " al
though he was dissatisfied with this.
One evening as he was sitting In his
study reading by lamplight tut- light
went suddenly down almost failed , in
fact. In a second Kipling jumped up ,
exclaiming excitedly , "By Jove , I've
got it ! " Pointing to the lamp , he said ,
