Knllior Accused nt Trying to Kill ills Icn-ycnr-olil DniiKhtcr Sued for Slander Other Lincoln News. rntoit TOR BEE'S MKCOtof ncnp.Aul. Mr. Andrew J. Sawyer , president of the Law and Order League , the gentle man who so "strongly deprecates news paper notoriety , " paraded himself in n column Interview in Iho Journal yester day morning , the chief point of which was an intemperate attack on the Mr.K for presuming to print the complaint on file against him in the district court. The representative of the linn at Lin coln is paid for obtaining and printing the nows. 0no of his regular stations in this line of duty is the ollico of Clerk Sl/.or , in the county building. Calling there Tuesday the reporter found the amended petition making Mr. Sawyer chief defendant In the action of Holmes vs. Shinier , ct al. This document formed the basts of a legitimate item of news , nnd ono in which the people of Lincoln are largely interested. A plain state ment of the case , framed entirely on the allegations in the plaintiffs petition , was given to the public. With the Until or falsity of those allegations the re porter has nothing to do. They are made under oath , and consequently entitled to consideration. If the case is over put on trial a judge and jury will decide them , and it is the scribe's duty to "draw the line at that " Colonel Web ster and Captain Billingsly had nothing to do with the publication of the item , as Mr. Sawyer unjustly intimates. On the contrary , when asked by the BEE man for further particulars , they both de clined to give any information , saying they did not want to try tlio case in tlio papers , and would prefer to have it kept ( | iilot. This may sound strange to Mr. biuvyor , whoso fondness for rushing into print on every flimsy pretext was well ex emplified m the Billy Barr case , but it is thn truth nevertheless. Mr. Sawyer's main grievance acainst the lien man seems to hinge on iho fact that an endorsement of thu charges was expressly withheld. This , to Mr. Sawyer , appears "guarded and cowardly. " To the general public it will look like an able-bodied example of fair play , and n desire to refrain from hitting the under man. 'Iho bottom facts of the whole case are that the item was published merely as a piece of news , without regard to Mr. Sawyer's personal or pub lic position , and with as little care or thought as would attacli to the recording of a row at fisticuffs between two of tlio humblest laborers on tlio street. If it is just and fair to publish the fact that plain Pit Maginnis has been jailed for drunkenness , or Tom Carr has been arrested for violating the excise law , it is equally proper to let the read ing public know that a loading lawyer , the professed guardian of tlio peace ami morality of the town , has boon made de fendant in an action charging him with conversion of property. Tins may not bo palatable to Mr. Sawyer , but it is be- oaubo his 'tastes have been pcrvoited frC7u"u VoftfTlng of - " ! ! > o ooiiSlfiul , r-C"C ; papers whoso duo ? aiTif scorns to bo to smother the news , especially when it affects prominent people in Lincoln. It may also injure his chances of appoint ment to bo United States district attorney for Nebraska , but that is a matter over which all democrats in the state will not weep , and with which the BEE man has no concern. Mr. Sawyer intimates that the article was published because he is an otliccr of the league , nnd was intended as an as- B'uill on the the Law and Order move ment. The BEE has been a strong sup porter of the league ever since it was or ganized , and is tlio only paper circulated in Lincoln , with the exception of the Evening News , that lja < l back bonp Lg < aiJZll to. critics uSl aenomicb Mayor iiurr's action in Foiuovlng Olllcor Little- field. Mr. Sawyer should shako off the sJincKlcs of fanaticism , nnd get out in the world long enough to learn that all men are not bigoted > and contracted in their views , and that newspaper men as a class , and the BEE man in particular , have a wholesome regard for truth , that , judg ing from an interview published yester day , will compare very favorably with the infinitcssimal quantity in the mind of a certain lawyer. TllinU TO KILL HIS WIFE , Bertha Molntoe appeared before Justice Coehrano yesterday and swore out a war rant against James Mclntco , her divorced husband , for trying to kill their daughter , a girl of about ton years. Mrs. Molntco , who is now working as n house servant for Mrs. Dr. Childs , says that when she obtained n divorce she was allowed $5 a week for the care of the child , who is sick and unable help to herself , her body being covered with largo sores , the result of continued violence and abuse by her unnatural father. Mr Mclnleowho had grown tired of paying this money for the child's support , mauo n brutal attack upon her about two weeks ago , with the intention Mrs Molntco alleges , of "putting her out of the way. " Justice Coclirauo issued a warrant and sent a constiiblo to servo it on Molntec. who is a farmer , living about fourteen miles north of town , MILT.CII nillTi ! IN COUHT. Anton Dlotz , the manager of the "Crab mill" near this city , has commenced un 'action lu the district court in which ho asks , $1,000 , damages from Theodora Karr. for slander. Diotx'a complaint , which is drawn by Messrs. Sawyer & Snoll , contains four distinct charges. The first alleges that on the 8th of February last , the defendant , in the presence of a man named Baldwin , said that Diet/ , was "a danmi'd thief , ' ' and had stolen forty bushels of buckwheat. A repetition of this language on the liith of l < obruaryto 11. 0. Van Cleave , and later on the same day to Colonel 11. Crabb , nnd on the 8th of April to Justice Cochrano , is made the basis of the other charges. 11UIEI' MENTION. An unexpected visit from Mr. Patrick O'llawos ' , of Omaha , has led the officials at the state capital to circulate the un kind rumor that ho is raking over the ar chives preparatory to another raid on the treasury. The appraisal of the school lauds in Whcolor county has been ordered. George Fawell has on exhibition In the window of his store on Eleventh Ktroot , a handsome winter soeno in oil. painted by Mra. George E , Spencer , of this city , The picture is a mammoth ono in size , and required great ingenuity to frame properly. Seven camps have been established by contractors on the Northwestern grade between Wahoo and Corosco , aud the country in that section looks as though an army of occupation hud pitched their camps there , The UUle&pIo properly will ba sold at auction on the 20th of May. It consists of elx lota nuav the capitol , which were bought by the state some years a o for $1COO. They were recently appraised at 817,000. ami , it is expected , wilt soil for fully $20,000. Each lot will bo sold sepa rately , and the buyer will TJO required to pay one-tenth of the uurphasu price down. Twenty years time , at Opor cent interest , will ba given on the balance. Through the tisc of $200 worth of prin ters' ink , the forfeited school Inpd lenses have been sold by Commissioner Scott at n premium of $2OCO. An enterprising photographer was busy yesterday taking interior views of thn state houso. The treasurer of York county has made n handsome deposit with the custodian of tlio state finances. Gerhard Loseke , a farmer living near Columbus , sent in an urgent request yes terday to the state veterinarian to come tlicro at once and investigate a peculiar disease that is killing oft his cattlo. Losckc has a herd of 100 head , and for a week past has been rt heavy loser. The animals are taken with symptoms some what similar to the ordinary plague , but died with alarming rapidity , seldom liv ing moro than twelve hours after being taken. Dr. Gerth started for Columbus last night to Investigate. State Superintendent of Instruction Jones has issued a proclamation calling on school teachers to observe Arbor Day by planting trees in the yards about the school houses , and to make the occasion an object lesson to the children on the beauty of an upright life.

Colored Protege. R. S. Halo and his niece , Mrs. W. B. Grcnthan , of Plattsburg , Mo. , passed through Omaha yesterday on their way to Helena , M. T. They had with them a bright-looking colored girl 8 or 0 years old , whom they brought from Plattsburg. Mrs. Grenthan told a re porter for tliB BEE that she had taken a lancy to the girl , who was living in poverty , with apparently no frienas or relatives , and being struck by her manifest intelligence deter mined to educate her. She took her into hei family at i'lattsburgwhere she helped the servants in performing the work of the household. A few weeks ago she do- tornilned to go with her uncle to Helena , and , of course , thought that there , would bo no objection to taking the little col- ond. elrl with her , _ Thp negroes injho ' town'however , were at oncoup in aims. They did not know where Helena was ; in fact had never heard of such a place. Some ono told thorn that it was 3,500 miles away , this distance was too great for their minds to comprehend. Mrs. Grenthan told them that tno child would bo a great deal better oft' with her than living in poverty in Plattsburg. They did not see it in that light , however , and when Mr. Halo and his uiooo reach ed St. Joe , they wore detained by the po lice at the instance of the Plattbbiirg uo- groos , who accused thorn of abducting the girl. Matters wore finally explained , and the party allowed to continue their journey.

" Of street musicians and fakirs Omaha has an abundance just now , ranging nil the way from the blind man with a fiddle to "Texas Tom" witli his livery rig and cow-boy clothes. They make lots of amusement for tlio children and unemployed , but the blind man is not apt to bo , tt very good successor to "Blind Tom. " The poor follow has lots of voice , and words , but the "air" comes whistling around the next corner. Athletes everywhere use St. Jacobs Oil. It removes all stillness of the muscles. Easter Cnrds. This year's Easter cards from the house of L. Prang & Co. , of Boston , from whom wo have received a beautiful collection , show n great variety , and embody in a more striking way the difl'eront senti ments appropriate to this season than these of previous years. This season's publications compose an exceptionally attractive line , not only in the variety of subjects , but the artistic execution of the designs , the happy selection of suitable sentiments , and the lusty embellishment of their moro pretentious publications. The following artists have contributed designs to this year's line : Mrs. O. E. Whitney , Miss Uolon W. Emory , Miss L. B , Comins. Mrs. Phebo Jcnks , Walter Saltorloe , Henry Sandhain , Miss E. Mat- laek , Miss L , B. Humphrey , Miss Fidelia Bridges , Mrs.E.T. Fisher , H. Giaeomolll , F. Schuvler Mathews and W. Hamilton Gibson. Among the more attractive ihniro cards are n series by Miss L. B. Humphrey , and a card by Mrs. Phobo Jcnks. The latter , two cherubs among lilies , is a thoroughly Easter conception , and the former can be classed among the best reproductions of this house , as tar as drawing , color and piintmg are concerned. One card repre sents a female figure , who holds a pas sion llowor in her hand , resting against a tomb and looking out to the breaking cloud of an early morning. In the other floats an Easier angel with outspread wings , lilies in her arms , against blue sky and delicately tinted but undefined ornamental background. All these come plain and fringed , and some are made into double cards , with appropriate Easter versos. Original and delicately tinted backs are on all. Several of these series are printed on satin , and this part .of the extensive line is further enriched by a lurco Easter dove from the brush of Henry Sandham , which has been printed on satin only. Thu diiVuront fancy mounts are almost entirely now in design , com prising many of a decidedly Easter character , such as un Easter Doyo Wing , Crosses , kggs , Calla Lily Leaf , and au Easter Crown. The sentiments nnd Yon > es have been carefully selected , two books of Easter Hymns appealing partic ularly to a literary predilection. JAMES PVLE'S PEARLINE is highly indorsed by housekeepers and otliers who have tried it. No soap is required , and cleaning is done with a saving of much time and labor.

Sacrifices BInst lie Made to Insure Lasting Benefits The Evil Effects of Corporate Influence Passes and Ilcbntcs. To the Editor : The movement re cently inaugurated in Nebraska , looking to a co-operation of the farmers aiul me chanics of the state , in an effort to secure right legislation and administration in public aflalrs , is being watched with deep interest by many thoughtful men outside that wonderful young commonwcath. The exceptional intelligence , civio virtue nnd patriotism of the people of Ne braska , as a whole , has been abundantly manifested in the past , and that state is , therefore , regarded as a fair field , upon which to lest the qapacity of the com mon people , for such wise nnd patriotic ) action as would result in the emancipa tion from many of their hard conditions , by which they are environed throughout the common country. If the experiment proves success in that stale , the example will bo potential with other communities , which suffer and apprehend evils similar to these which nflllct the people there. The writer is not pat licularly informed as to the plan formulated by which the proposed co-operation is to bo secured , but presumes it a wise ono. Labor unions , of various kinds , have brought and will continue to bring many substantial benefits to the member ship composing thorn , but hitherto , a nervousness in action , if not in spirit , lias characterised such organizations , which has tended largely to individualize or localize , instead ot generalizing their inllueneo. In the special sphere of each there will necessarily remain many mat ters of interest , policy and administra tion , to bo controlled by these organisa tions separately. There are , however , other and bro.xd interests , reaching in common all who win bread by muscle or brain , which can bo observed cft'oc- lively only by au intelligent , judicious co-operation of ajl those who under the constitution of things share in them. To meet this broader requirement , there must needs bo some sort of federa tion of industrial organization and powers. The added strength which comes from union will bp obvious when these separate organizations are feder ated for a common purpose , as it was to the individual comprising them , when they united with their respective organ izations. Tlicro will inevitably bo some friction , inconvenience , and needed sacrifices all round , at least for a time , when these various organizations of workingmen un dertake to make common cause against common adversaries. But to pro-suppose the noble of bread-winners army - incapa ble , or unwilling to make thet needed sac rifices for the common goodis to estimate them no higher as to motives than we do the cormorants that prey upon them. Selfishness manifested by nn organiza tion of farmers or mechanics is not a whit morq lovely than when exhibited by a grasping monopoly , and no amount of specious reassuring can make it appear so. The unjust burthens imposed upon tlio industrial classess of our country under existing conditions , nro obvious and grievious , but , if in the pursuit of remeuies for prevailing evils , the methods of the sufferers take on no higher charac ter than that of narrow individual or limited class interest , the hearts of men will apprehend little difference between the actuating mutinies of tlio oppressed and tlia oppressors , and wjll witness their * * - - * * v-w -Tl 3ITO - * Ti cause go clown in ileieat as it win wiiu comparative indifference. Evidences of a willingness to do , and if need be to sutler , for the common welfare , will alone in sure the approval of the just judgment of mankind for their efforts , Are the farmers , mechanics and other bread winners of Nebraska about'to ris6 to the magnitude of the issue of right against wrong , of the people against their confederated oppressors , forgetting for the time who among them are farm ers , who mechanics , who unskilled wage workers forgetting who have boon , or are republicans , democrats , crconbaol crs or pro hibitionists-rfor-gcttiug alsosttio fmVJceuont or present party proferoTTc'cs of the men , who , being true to their cause , ask their suffrages at the polls remem bering only their common wrongs and the justice of their cause ? How the intelligent , patriotic citizens of Jfebraska , through tjicir actiop , "shall make ans\Ver to suoh Tfuestion is what some of us , tiieir conscious tcllow suffer ers in other states , are waiting with ab sorbed , hopeful interest to see. Wo are painfully alive to the fact that an aflirmatlvo answer to such a question will not be easily made. Through tho' ignorance , negligence or vcnally of their chosen agents , the people have permit ted or created the advantages which monopolies , under color of law , now use to in ono way or another extort from them a largo percentage of the product of their labor. Whatever has been un wisely or viciously lixod beyond recall must of course stand and bo borne. But the highest court of Iho land has decided that tha people through their legislatures may regulate the operations of the most oppressive of thcso monopolies ; and this wo understand the good people df Ne braska now propose , among other things , to do. It goeo without saying that tlio y have entered upon a very great and Im portant undertaking. Corporate power , intrenched behind its privileges and con centrated wealth , will contest oycry foot of their advance , and its resources uro marvelous in number , and in effective organization everywhere. It may bo profitable to hero glance at soma of these , not because they are unknown to many , but because they must be mot and coun teracted in the contest. Corporate power has , doubtless , in ono way or another , corrupted the sources of the peoples' counsel and information , in Nebraska , as in Iowa and elsewhere. Going no higher than county ofilcials , wo will iind the principal elective officers with railroad passes in their Dockets , and their voices , as a rule , are either in de fense of , or apology for railroad moth- ode and practices. Having the confidence ot a majority of their fellow-citizens , as shown in their election , their utterances necessarily have an influence on the wrong sido. It is not insinuated hero that a free pass on a railroad would actually buy the honor of those ollioials. They probably persuade thomaclvcs that their individ ual outgivings are of little consequence cither way under existing circumstances but that frco transportation is of actual value to them. What Is meant is , that the railroads e\pect , and generally do have their favor in a contest with the people , These engaged in the reform movement in Nebraska need not bo as tonished if they find the force of their ar guments ana appeals broken , or parried , by a brigade of ollioials with "dead-head" railroad tickets in their pookots. Then will come the heavy favored grain and stock dealers and larger mer chants , who dread losing their special "rates ; actively , or passively , tjieir inllu- encoyill tso on the side of monopoly. Then come the little "putoiit-ouuido" local papers , which exist all ever the country , wherever two or three stores are gathered together. To the extent that thcso sheets are read and relied upon and not a few voters subseribo for no other newspapers their influence may bo expected , as a rule , to bo found On the side of monopolies. They are for the most part useful and true to local in terests and could nut well bo spared. That they are the potty minions of corporate power is not alffnys and perhaps not gen erally the fault of the publishers. A case under actual observation will Illustrate the situation of many ) In n prosperous younj ; railroad town in lown , the ccntef of \\-pll-to-do , Intel ligent agricultural population , two young men of charnctfir and ability wore pub lishing ono of the two very rospcctabln weekly newspapers of the place and wore prospering. The property of some farmers situaled hlong their lines was destroyed by the railroads and fair com pensation therefor refused by the roads. Their news ape espoused the cause of the injured individuals as against the big corporations. For doing this they were kindly warned of danger to their busi ness. Hut with ntoro courage than busi ness prudence the publishers persisted in their course. They also ventured to crit icise the discriminations , rebates pcclal rales , etc. , practiced by the railroad man agement. Soon the principal shippers of grain and live stock abandonee ! them. eon afterward , the heaviest merchants wilhdjow their their advcttisiuc and job patronngo , nnd thcso were followed by nil big nnd liltlo who in the course o'f business wuro in the habit of receiving unequal fa\or3 from the railroad man agement. Trims "boycotted" by the railroad power the publishers were forced to lay their case before the farmer and me chanics of their community and ask them to sustain their own cause , by supporting the paper. Expressions of approval ami sympathy were abundant , and many gave subscriptions for the paper , but there was no general or ofl'ectlvo move ment in the right direction , and consequently quently the publishers were driven into biiiikruntcy in less than a year. When the industrial classes fail , or refuse to sustain their own friends , as in this case , it cannot be reasonably expected that others will advocate their cause nt the cost of property and bread. Through the present movement the farmers and mechanics of Nebraska may bo able to give their local papers such as- fetiranco ot proper support as Mil make them feel safe in heartily joining hands witli them in the impending contest , but , if they cannot or do not , from any cause. they may expect the iullucnco of many of those papers will bo directly or indirectly against them , and the aggregate of such inllueneo will nol bo easily overcome. We then como up ( or down ) to that gee- tion of the metropolitan and provincial press which is either owned or subsidized by the great corporations. For broad liberalism in politics , com mend mo to your powerful monopolist. His is the broad catholic spirit which embraces republicanism and dom- oenyiy alike all parties are equally good to him , which equally serves his purpose ho has neither loves , hatreds nor prej udices in politics. It is scon that all the monopoly organs in Nebraska , irres pective of politics , are just now trying to divert attention from the only living is sue , by powerful appeals for fidelity to their respective party organiiations. Lo hero ! and Lo there ! strike the ear of the citizen , let him turn in whichsoever way he may. Like all the tactics of monopo lists when plaj'hifi ' against the people , this trick is shrowiYto the last degree. The appeal to'party ' names , party asso ciations and pavty pride , is always po tent with men jiul ( exceedingly hard to resist. In common with most men the writer can boar testimony to this fact , from his own experience and inner con sciousness. He has been identified with one of the great 'political ' parties for moro than a quarter of n century , and takes great pride in its honorable achievements. It costs him a very great ollprt to admit , it , and to declare that neither the republican nor the demo cratic party as a part3' has been , as is , true to the bread-winners' ' cause , in their struggle against the tyranny and spoliation of .intrenched monopolists , nnd that neither. n'arty can now right- . omu. - - AVe have frionds.good and true , in each of these parties , such for instance as Re publican Van Wyck , of Nebraska , or Democratic Reagan , of Texas ; but , thus far , the henclimcn of monopoly , have dominated the political organisation and policy of both parties , and will continue to rule them until the industrial classes shall unite for the vindication of their own cause. To make their united action efl'ectivo , in rescuing ono or both these old parties from the domination of mon opolies , men Qvarywliore imist bo reads to sagriiico ni cTi { ! uw ig dear m name , association and memory , for the victory will not bo purchased at less cost. Are the men of Nebraska prepared to make such sacrifice for thcif just cause ? What is demanded , everywhere , is men true to the p.eoplo'8 dauso , whether they bo called republicans or democrats. Are the bread-winners of Nebraska about to rise o tno mtpvmrt 01 such men and such nly ? Wo snail sco. CATO. SHENANDOAH , Iowa , March 01 , 1880. It Should Bo Generally Known that the multitude of diseases of a scrofn Ions natu re generally proceed from a tor pld coiidi tiou of ths liver.

[ Correspon dence of the Ben. ] The usual quiet after a storm Is being experienced hero at the political Mecca of Nebraska. The city election is over , and the task of removing the dond uml wounded has been about completed. Whisky and the gravel trains work wonders when they work together as they always do horo-nnd this year they have exceeded all preced ing years , and now feel competent t6 "taoklo" the Van Wyck question and as they say "down the old man.

It is au open secret that Hayward was not a candidate for the place , and did not want it ; but after much llattery by Dawes and a strong press by Thurston ho decided to acoopt. If Jim Uawcs could succeed Van Wyck , and John Thurston could oust Maudcrson , all would be smooth sailing in the sweet hereafter. Jim and John would make a very heavy pair.

And Got Twenty Now Subscribers By A. Atlanta Constitution : The yarns that newspaper men never talk about except sub rosa illustrate the strange vicis- situbcs to whicli the man who embarks on the great sea of journalism is subject ed. 1 know not long since that tlicro were seycral of us congregated together in a favorite haunt , and wo naturally began to spin out weird legends connected witli that profession which lay nearest our hearts. Said a veteran editors "Somo years ago I was editor , proprietor , typo , mailing clerk , bookKcopor , pressman , and devil and Tom Walker of a country weekly. Perhaps weakly would bo the proper way to spell is. ' 'Well , subscriptions wcro coming in at the rate of two every three weeks , and i was waiting for the forlorn hope of a three-lino ad. to assist mo in whistling to keep the ghosts ofl' , when a lawyer the lawyer ot the village in which tlio An- go halves in the team , so wo bulldozed the owner of the only buggy and set out on our journoy. "Ragged Edge was a city set upon a hill. The court-house square was a ten- acre lot , and the jail was built far enough away that the citizens wcro not disturbed by some fractious criminal engaged in the illegal occupation of jail-bieaking. Around tlio square were several dwellings , two or threogoncralhtoros and a grocery. "I put up at the only hotel in the place , which was a cross between an inn and a farmhouse , and when I ate supper I did so with a timid feeling , for I still had a conscience then , knowing that unless Providence interposed I would leave the town indebted to the landlord the amount of my bill minus ono year's subscription to Iho Agitator and a half-column puff. "After supper I strolled down to the grocery. In and around it wore assem bled ten or fifteen jurors , litigants and court bummers. On a barrel in ono cor ner of the room sat a iiddlor , sawing away for dear life , while the audience chatted in low tones , so as not to embarrass the musician. "I introduced myself as editor of The Agitator , and all looked at mo in a sus picious way as if they wore uncertain of my calling , Two or three outsiders caiuo in to gel a good look ut mo. "Having learned to play the iiddln in my youth , the thought struck mo to try it on that audience , and when the iiddle stopped for a rest I took up the instru ment and began to rasp out a few notes. " 'Do you play the fiddle , mister ? " asked the grocery-keeper. " 'A littlo,11 replied. " 'Play the dickens1 ! muttered a follow as hn took a fresh chew of tobacco , "That remark got my blood up. and tuning the riokuty old instrument I began to "ivo them 'Old llosum the Bow. "By the time I got through the boys were all silent , and the crowd had in creased uutil there was no longer stand ing-room in the building. " 'Give us another , ' That's bulljV 'My treat , como on and have somelhiii' , ' ncre the remarks heard on every sido. "After the drinks I began uirain , and it was late before they let mo oil' . ' " that feller deserves ' "Boys , something , said the man of groceries ! chip in , now , and take his paper. ' "And I'll H)0 blessed if I didn't got twenty now subscribers before 1 left the bouse.

Detroit l < roe Press ; A Dotroltor who was returning from Dnkoto the other day mot an old chap on the train who ques tioned him ns to where ho had boon , and inquired : "Maybe you run across my daughter out there. Her name is Watson. " "I don't think I did , ' * wns the reply. "But sho's in JMkotn. She wont out there as soon as she was married. " "I didn't sco her. " "Didn't you happen to rhlo by any house where a woman Was whistling ? " "No. " "Sarah whistles , but you may have missed her. Didn't see a man and a wom an liavlng n light anywhere ! " ' Sarah and her husband have a regu lar sot-to every two or turco da3fs , but you may have taken another road. Didn't hear any woman hollering , 'Dtirn it to Uoshonl1 1 suppose ? " "Don't thinu so. " "Sarah hollers that when she stubs her too , and she can bo heard two miles and a half if the wind is right. Meet any woman o'n the highway who was smok ing a chiy pipe nnd sloshing right through the mud puddles ? " "No. " "That's Sarah , you know. Didn't stop in any neighborhood whore the school teacher haa been llckod and Iho sowing society all busted to gosh , eh ? " ' 'No. " "That's Sarah again. I guess yon didn't travel muoh.'r "But Dakota is a great territory , yon know. " "i'cs , I suppose ; but if you had boon at one end while Sarah was.hollaring her husband to dinner at the other you must have heard her. Maybe you are a liltlo deaf.
