GEORGE GOFF IS HOME.

George W. Goff returned from Belle Fouche, So. Dak., Thursday morning after a two months absence in the wild and wooly west. He was out to visit his son Bert and family who live on a big cattle ranch, and no plowing corn or stacking oats goes in that country—it’s just drive steers and drive steers some more. Mr. Goff says he did not see any dew from the time he left here until he returned, and only one cloudy "day, and that day it rained very .hard. He said they would start out in the morning and drive 60 or 80 miles, camp over night, or several nights for that matter, and when the work was done return home again as if out of town for an hour or two. Bert and family were left in excellent health and Mr. Goff has added 75 or 80 years to his mortal existance as a result of this outing. Possibly eating sage hen and seeing so many elk had something* to do with it. too, but he looks fine, there is no mistaking that. M ,
