A New Kind. In last week's issue The World in describing a dance held in Hiawatha recently, says Miss Ed wards, the spiritualist, was one of the dancers. We have listened with pleasure to the musical description of the "Danca of the Witches," but the "Dance of the Spiritualists" would defy description, musically or otherwise. Morrill News.

Mrs. Frank Wilson went to Hiawatha Saturday evening to meet her 14-year-old son, Roy, from Olathe, where he has been attending the deaf and dumb school. He was expected to arrive on the train that night, but did not come. She later received word over the telephone that the boy was safe and near home. It is believed that the conductor by mistake let him off at Everest, andjtbe bo not knowing your spiel sounds good," said the stranger, "but I've got a little of that there alkali land on my farm in Nebraska and I can't raise nothing on it, water or no water." "Did yol evei try alfalfa," exclaimed the Liar, getting eScited and turning clear around in his seat, "why, man alive, you can raise seven or eight crops a year without a bit of work." The Nebraska farmer shook his head doubtfully.

"And cabbages! Well, my friend, you can raise more cabbages than you can count on that piece of land of yours. It's just what cabbages need. You ought to see the ones they grow in this state. Then there's something else onions. Onions will grow if your alkali is knee deep.

They raised so many around here that finally they wouldn't sell for less than 50 cents a ton and the sma'l farmers got to using them for fertilizer." About this time I found that the Liar was intent on convincing the Nebraska farmer of the superiority of alfalfa, alkali and other Colorado products, so I sneaked to the back end of the train and got on the rear platform, where I was safe from interruption until the train pulled into Denver. The strange part of the whole affair was that the Liar wasn't a real estate man, or even a notary public. He was just a plain Colorado boomer, booming simply for the good of the cause.

An old man who passed through Hiawatha on foot last week claimed that he had walked all the way from Nova Scotia and intended to keep at it until be reached Idaho. He appeared to be about CO years of age. On his back he carried a big pack, held to fejs shoulders by straps, containing clothing, bedding, food and cooking utensils. He said the pack weighed 70 pounds and that he had carried it every foot of the way. After stopping here for dinner he took the west road out of town.

He probably pays his way by picking up cigar and cigarette stubs, for he found quite a few in Hiawatha. Fresh Groceries This is what you will find at our store.
