WOODMAN
pier!”
AT EMMET
As John Tweezer Saw It
Everybody enjoyed it. Enjo -
ed what? Why the Woodmen
picnic at Emmet last Thursday.
It rained but we did not care, so
long as a dozen or so young lad
ies tried to get under our umbre
lla to keep dry.
I have read in the good book
where it rained down bread, but
I never heard of it raining down
chicken pies and other good
! things to eat, as it did on this
occasion.
|
Now my stay-a-way friends if
'you area “Thomas” or “from
Missouri” you might doubt this,
never the less it is a fact. It
rained out all previous miracles.
The first shower covered the ta
bles with all kinds of good things
to eat, while the second shower
covered the ground with water
melons and cantelopes.
The fishes and loaves are back
numbers when it comes to a
Woodman picnic.
The program for the day was
cut short, by occasional showers
of rain, which was a great di
sappointment to the large crowd
that had gathered about the beau
tiful grounds at the school house
in anticipation of hearing Sov.
G. R. Haynie’s dramatic express
! ion’s on Woodcraft, andjthe beau
tiful renditions of Misses Christ
lopher and Warren.
The noblest work on earth in
which man may exert his energ
ies is that broad field where in ’
the foundation for the comfort, :
j
peace, and happiness of the dis
tressed are laid broad and deep, j
Does woodcrafs offer that field?!
If so it should enlist the synpa
thies and gain the esteem of our;
best citizens
There are very few eligible to
membership in our order who;
have not a mother, a sister, a
wife or a daughter looking to
them for support and protection.
You old Rip Van Winkles should j
wake up and provide for your
loved ones. You have slept long
enough. Shoulder your axe and
go with us to the fort st and help
roll in a few logs. If you live
in the city make it a poiu: to me
ander out into God’s country and
become inoculated with the new j
life the visit will give you. Study i
the trees; pick a wild dower or;
two, and exult in its undefiled
purity fringed with the glittering j
glory of its Maker. Try a few
Woodmen dinnew, they will take
the slack out of your trousers!
and put you at peace with your!
fellow man. An outing nowand
then is good for man or beast.
Rubbing against our neighbors
will brighten and take that selfish
edge off of us. You may comfort,
yourself with the sweet delusion
that there will be plenty of time 1
for you to make this preparation i
in the indefinite future. How
many have made this mistake?1
Now wake np; ask Sov. John H
Moore or Sov. .Too Hood if they
have an -'.pplk-iW card in their
pockets for you to sign. It is ■
dead easy, both of thorn get in. 1

Mr. Chas. Pouder and family

We spent several hours in Pres
cott and while there we were ac
compained by Sheriff Hood'
through the county jail and ex
amined the place where the pris
oners escaped. Some people
seem to think that Mr. Hood is
responsible for that, but friends, !
you are badly mistaken for Mr.
Hood has never been supplied
with the keys which belong to
the jail. There has never been
a sheriff in the county who has
spent as much money of their
own in trying to capture prison
ers as Mr. Hood. He gets them
and puts them in the jail, but the
law noes not require him to stay
there and guard them. Make
the jail safe and they would stay!
there till they are took out. This
thing should be attended too and
not blame the sherig any more.
We have been in Nevada county
every since it was made a county 1
and we do love the name and its
offices.
OAK GROVE
The farmers are nearly done
laying by their crops.
The picnic at Holly Mound was j
progresing fine especially the;

As no one has ever written f rom
this place, I thought I would try
and write a line or two.
We are having lots of rain of
late, which will sure make the
corn, I dont know about the cot
ton, but we have as good a pros
pects for a crop as we ever had.
This community is well blessed
up to this time, no sickness in the
neighborhood, and as fitie a crops
as we ever had.
There is a singing school being
taught at this place by Prof., J.
A. Fincher. We have a good school
and he says as good a elates as he
ever taught. We ars talking of
having a picnic on Saturday be
fore the 4th Sunday, as that is the
last of the school. If so I will
write again and let you know.
I think though we will be sure to
have it, as this community never
has had any thing of the kind.
Miss Willie Lightfoot left today
for Texarkana, where she will
spend a few days.
Uncle Joe Baird is still down
with paralysis.
I will have to quit and cut a
water melon but will come again
and tell you more of our picnic.

Old Chronic Sores.
A dressing for old chronic sores
there is nothing so good as Chamber
laain’s Salve. While it is not advisable
to heal old sores entirely, they should
be kept in a good condition, for this

DOG SPOILS
A ROMANCE
Rogers believes that if It had not
been for the dog he would have fallen
iif love with the girl. Now he hates
the dog and almost bates the girl.
He never met the girl, or the dog,
for that matter, until one recent Sun
day, and he Is not eager to meet either
of them again. He had gone to call
on a friend in One Hundred and
Twelfth streets one Sunday afternoon,
and there met the girl. She was
charming. Rogers thought he never
had seen a prettier girl in his life.
And her manner was in keeping with
her beauty. Altogether Rogers spent
a most delightful evening, and when
the party broke up his cup of happi
ness was filled when she smilingly
accepted his offer to escort her home.
When they left the bouse Rogers of
fered to lead the dog—a little, stumpy
tailed, rattle-brained terrier. The
trouble began when they tried to board
a car. The conductor snarled at him
that dogs were not allowed on the
cars. The rule Is all right, h*»t Rog
ers had never heard of it before, that
being his first outing with a dog. The
way the passengers smiled when the
conductor announced the rule in that
kindly, gracious manner that conduc
tors have and the realization that he
wore a sickly smile as they got oil
the car, weren’t calculated to make
Rogers start off In an entirely amiable
frame of mind.
The girl lived In the Fifties, and
there was nothing to do but walk.
Rogers promptly pretended he didn’t
mind at all, and chatted gayly along
with her, dragging the dog by the
chain. He wished several times the
dog would get caught in something, so
he could have an excuse for pulling Its
head off. The animal began to make
trouble at once. If Rogers let him
have plenty of chain It got right un
der the feet of pepple passing by. if
he shortened the attain and held the
dog up close, K got under Rogers’ feet
and tripped him up. Sometimes it
walked around on the girl's side and
tripped her up. She would laugh and
call him endeaiing little names, and
ask Rogers If he wasn’t Just too cun
ning for anythfog. Rogers said yds.
but he would have ground his heel
Into the little beast’s neck had he
uie council.
This sort of thing kept up praetl
cally all the way, the girl talking
sweetly and unconsciously, and Rogers
fairly bubbling over with rage.
At a saloon corner almost wtthla
sight of her home the procession
passed a knot of loafers gathered round
a lamppost and a big policeman swing
ing his stick on the edge of the pave
ment. They had Just passed the po
liceman when Rogers felt a violent
tug on the dog chain. He looked
around, to see the policeman's lap
all wrapped up with entanglements ol i
chain, while the dog was running
round and round In a gradually dm
creasing clrole, snapping at the fM
policeman's legs. The blueeoat tried
to wrench himself free, but the hard
er he struggled the more firmly he be
came entangled. The little beast
finally got between his legs, the chair
was twitched outrof Roger’s hand, and
the policeman hit the pavement with 8
crash, his helmet, his stick and tht
dog being lost Onder the folds of htf
blue cost. The dog was shrieking and
yelping In pain, but the policeman was
totally unable to rlae because of the
firm manner in which his legs were
tied. The girl was too frightened tc
speak. The loafers on the eornei
shouted with laughter, and a big crowd
gathered around to see the fun.
The npshot of the affair waa that
Rogers had to got down on bis knee*
and wrsstls with the knotted and tan
glad chain around the policeman's lap
while ha Bat up and swore, the dog
yelped, «he crowd jweand and the girl
