Many complain of a very poor stand of corn , amounting to little more than half a stand. Mrs. George Foster and little son visited her parents , Mr. and Mrs. Tillson , Sunday. Miss Short went home with her Monday. Nebraska farmers be comforted. There are others ! Texas and Ok lahoma people are replanting their corn for the third time. The K , C , Starr says the first and second plantings were killed by frost. Mrs. Ivy Hamar invited her friends to a quilting last Friday. There were present Mesdames Emma Hamar , Ella Husky , Avice Tillson , Amy Hancock , Florence Kusky , Effie Klein and Alice Strain ; Misses Hattie and Effie ICusky and Blanche Hutchison. A fine dinner , a very enjoyable time visiting and an almost com pleted quilt is the report. Charlie Burdick and Wally Hamar quarrelled and fought at Mr. Sorby's last Thursday. It seems that Hamar had been hav ing abusive talk about Charlie and his family that was carefully re peated to Charlie. Charlie met him first , and the other boys are on the war path. No serious dam age was done , eVcept Charlie's finger was severely bitten. It is all very unfortunate. Two young ladies , daughters of Rev. AVashburn of Norden , nar rowly escaped drowning in the Niobrara river east of Penbrook. A party had come from Norden to picnic and fish. The elder girl , Miss Killa , accidentally slipped in and was immediately caught by the current and carried down stream. Not considering she couldn't swim either , Miss Lulu plunged in to help her sister. Mr. McCormick and a brother of the girls rescued them. Miss Killa graduated this June and Miss Lu lu is a teacher in Keya Paba coun ty. The Niobrara here is very swift and full of deep holes that are constantly changing as the current whirls and eddies the quicksand. Three children have been drowned and several grown people would have last their lives but for help , \ \ khii , .i few miles of Penbrook. EAGLE. , Get your property insured by 1.

OLSON ; Kcceiver W W # # # W # For five weeks last winter the city of Butte , Mont. , was -So a barren desert. It was the driest place on earth. The fro water supply was all right , but owing to ar strike all the newspapers were suspended. Butte's experience proved that in this day and age the 023- local newspaper is H public necessity. Nobody knew what ' was happening. False rumors spread like bad butter. .Fake stories about citizens circulated by word of month uniil several duels almost re sulted. There were nq newspapers to tell the truth about things. Business suffered worst of all. JMerchants tried handbills , which didn't o-Ji fill the bill. They work ed the billboard over time , but only bored the public. The people cried for newspapers as'babies cry for ( Sec ad. ) For once in the his -So tory of the .world it was- demonstrated beyond peradventnre that a town 0-J2 without a live newspaper is a- dead one. Stores could not do business without ju'operly advertising their wares , and they could not advertise propevly without news paper space. Butte merchants are now advertisirig to make up for lost time. Business men who didn't think much of advertising cl cln before have learned its value and are usin newspaper ez- } n : tl space. The experience of Butte carries a lesson for every otlier town this one , for instance : U &tr rtrtrtrerlrCrtrtrfrt I . ADVERTISING PAYS ITS OWN "WAY. I ni t \ Slayer and Sleigher. In the first number of the Atlantic Monthlj' Ralph Waldo Emerson had a poem called "Brahma , " "which puzzle- ! both critics and common readers. Some said It THIS the gre'it t poem of the century. Some snid it was non- : -eiso. The first verhe ran as follows : If the red slayer think he slays. Or If the slain think he is slain. They know not well the subtle ways I keep and pass and turn again. That winter it happened that a rela tive of the poet Longfellow , living in another state , bought a sleigh , and in a family letter to the cousins in Cam bridge there was a wail lest the Janu ary thaw which had followed the pur chase should keep them from enjoying the gay cutter that season. When the letter was answered , Longfellow con tributed this verse , which , it is said , lias neve : * been printed before : TO ON THE PURCHASE OP A SLEIGH. If the rod sloJgher think ho sleighs. Or i" the slciRhin think it Is sleighin , They know not well the subtle ways Of snow , that comes and goes again. Surprised the Ghoct. A ghosi , a vague white form which fitted abort a small neglected grave yard in Oahvny. much to the alarm of tlnre who lived near by , one of the iro.tkimen of our party undertook to lay. Going out not far from midnight , he lid indeed .soon become aware of a white figure looming toward him through the darkness. Our friend , however , hei.l on his way undeterred. "Ghost. " he said in sepulchral tones when ho came near , "could you drink a glass of whisky V" "I could so , your honor. " blithely re sponded the ghost , taken off his bal ance by the unexpected offer and standing revealed as the principal ipoacher of the neighborhood , who had availed himself of this spectral guise to set his nkrht lines and cany on his otlier depredations undisturbed. Black- * wood's Magazine. Ducks and Drakes. The momentous day had arrived , and the inspector was putting his usual series of inquisitive questions to a class of small boys. "Xow , tell me , " he said , "why it is that a duck can swim and a hen can't. " "Because a duel : has webbed feet. " piped one of the miniature philoso phers. "Yes , " said the inspector. "Now , can any of you swim ? " Stony silence , during which the inspector specter and the teacher whispered to gether. "Come , come. " said the inspector ; "yen 'should all know how to swim. Your teacher tells me he can swim. Why is it you can't If ho can ? " ' "riease , sir. * ' said the same little 1)03' , "the teacher has very big fact. " London Answers. Limit of Human Strength.
