Pointed Paragraphs
The hinges of true friendship
never rust.
There are times when the al
mighty dollar will not go as far as
a little politeness.
The fewer acquaintances a man
has the less he is bored.
A man is seldom interested in
the weight of another mans
burden.
A small dog, with a big bark, is
one of the best guards a family can
have about the house. It is never
failing.
The reason advertising seems a
small matter to some people, is be¬
cause they look at it through the
wrong end of a business telescope.
Judge Lynch presided pretty
generally in the courts last week.
There were lynchings, as a conse¬
quence, from North Carolina to
Mississippi, and from Maryland to
Illinois.
There were 50 millionaires met
in New York, last week, to raise a
campaign fund of $500,000, to elect
Teddy Roosevelt governor of the
state. They represented an aggre
gate capital of $893,000,000.
The pea crop is a very important
and valuable one, and we are glad
to see our farmers raising more and
more of them every year. The pea
vine is not only fine for hay, but the
peas always command a good price,
while the stubs and roots are al
most invaluable as a fertilizer of
the soil.
The club movement is to day
one of the greatest factors in the
world’s progress, and he or she
who proclaims a disbelief in it, be¬
cause of the short comings of
some few club acquaintances, lacks
the faculty of a comprehensive per¬
ception of the things of today, as
a prophetic insight into the fu¬
ture.
An exchange paper says a Cowe¬
ta farmer carried a bale of cotton
and a pointer dog to market, the
other day, and sold the cotton for
$22.50, and dog for $23.00. Now
he thinks that dog raising is more
profitable than cotton raising.
And whether the story is true or
not, there is more truth than poet¬
ry iu it.
The most widely separated
points between which a telegram
can be sent, are British Columbia
and New Zealand, The telegram
would cross North America, New¬
foundland, the Atlantic, Britain,
Germany, Russia (European and
Asiatic), China, Japan, Java and
Australia. It would make nearly
a circuit of the globe, and would
travel over 20,000 miles in doing so.
Frightful End of a Flirtation.
Albert Martin, a rancher living
near the Cheyenne river in Ziebeck
county, S. D., enlisted as a volun¬
teer at the opening of the war and
fought at the battle of El Caney.
After the battle he met Ramona
Perez, the daughter of an officer of
Garcia’s command, and they be¬
came sweethearts and were engaged
to be married. Soon afterward he
was attacked by fever and sent
home on a sick leave. He was en
gaged, before his departure from
Dakota for the war, to the daugh¬
ter ot a neighboring ranchman and
arran ged to be married while home
on his leave of absence.
Meanwhile the Cuban girl had
learned of his illness she and resolved that he to j
had gone home,and
follow and nurse him. Dressing
in her brother’s and clothes, secreted she herself cross- j
ed to Jamaica for New
on a lruit steamer bound
Orleans. Reaching there she
tramped and beat her way to her
lover's home in Dakota. When
she reached there she learned ot
her lover's approaching marriage
and the shock drove her insane.
At the same time the American
girl learned of her lover’s flirtation
and broke off the engagement.
