T. Tillson has a h'ne stand of
corn.
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.

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

\ 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.

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-

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 ? " '
