Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hordeman were down from Union Monday. The fly has played havoc with the wheat in his locality.

He thinks the ’farmers will have to quit raising wheat for a few years to get rid of the fly. Mr. and Mrs. Esper McCleary of Arcadia, Neb., came Wednesday for a ten days visit with his mother and other relatives north of to,yvn.

There were 27 neighbors and relatives present, and Mrs. Pruett enjoyed the occasion very much. Of late her health has not been very good and she is unable to get out of doors very much. It was a yellow shepherd dog that bit the brood sows for Granville Moody a few weeks ago and caused one of*> them to go mad and die of hydrophobia, and he killed the others, some fifteen head in all. including pigs. The same dog bit T. M. Walters’ dog, and he killed it before it had a chance to go mad. This was probably the same dog that bit Mr. Crisler. whose death from hydrophobia is recorded elsewhere. Attorney A. D. Babcock was over from Goodland on business Monday. Asked whether the advent of saloons was injurious or beneficial to Goodland, he replied that he did not think it made very much difference one way or the other. The two saloons are doing a big business and many people in automobiles stop in front of them for a few “cold ones,” then hike out after their wants have been appeased. As for himself he doesn’t indulge at all and pays very little attention to them. But he is acquiring a wonderful girth on a milk and water diet.

“LIFE.”

Man comes into the world without his consent, and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunstandings. In his infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is damphool. If he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a check he is a tfhief, and the law raises H— with him ;ifhe is poor, he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest, but considered smart. If he is in politics, he is., a grafter and a crook; if he is out of politics, you can’t place him, as he is “an undesirable citizen ;” if he goes to church he is . hypocrite; if he stays away irom church he is a sinner ; if he donates to foreign missions, *he does it for show; if he doesn’t he is stingy and a “tight-wad.”

When he first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him ; before he goes out they all want to kick him. If he dies young, there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age, he is in the way, only living to save funeral expenses. ■so life is a funny proposition after all.—Ex.
