/^\F ALL the sheets from Eist
^ to West the local paper is the
best. Deep is our love and deep
our rLh» tn R»ror«£. .Journal or
Gazette. When first I landed on
this ball, a bit of flesh wrapped
'round a squall, it welcomed me
with joy and pride my life has
never justified. It follows me my
whole life through, with words all
kind and mostly true; and even
after I am hearsed 'twill tell my
best and hide my worst. When in
Oshkosh or Wickiup I wander
homesick as a pup, or if in foreign
lands 1 roam, it brings me pleas-
ant news of home. Across tho
sands, across the sea, the old home
paper comes to me. It is a friend
both true and tried, and to it,
gents, 1 point with pride: yea, I
will hock my Sunday pint# to pay
up six years in advance.
Prof. Peacock returned last
week from Oklahoma City where
they had carried their baby to a
specialist. While the baby is
better and they think now will
recover it’s eye sight, it will be
necessary for Mrs. Peacock to
keep it down there for awhile
yet. Miss Legate will take Mrs.
Peacock’s place in the school
room until her return.

Montana Indian, Digging Wall, Saem-
Ingly Cama Upon Most Remark-
able Freak ot Nature.
More than eight years ago John
Spotted Wolf, an Indian of the Chey- I
enne reservation In eastern Montana, |
decided that he should like to have a I
well near his log cabin. So he and his j
wife Mary chose a spot near a large ;
pine tree, perhaps 20 rods from the
door, and then John began to dig.
By noon of the second day he had [
•dug down ten feet. Although the
weather was mild, he had complained j
of being cold while at work. After
eating lie put on an extra coat and |
went to work again. He kept Mary I
and her brother Bolling Bull busy j
hauling up and carrying away the dirt ;
that he loosened. But in spite of
John's extra clothing he still was cold. j
On the third morning he added more
clothing; but when night came and the
well had reached the depth of 18 feet
,he was almost frozen.
The next morning he again descend-
ed the well and worked as rapidly as \
his many layers of clothing would per- ]
tnlt. After a while water began to |
appear. Suddenly he shouted: "Pull ;
me up! Pull me up I"
John had barely reached the surface j
before the well filled to within a foot I
of the top and then began to freeze i
around the edges. In a short time
only a small opening perhaps' a foot
In diameter remained.
The well remains the same way year
after year, the Youth's Companion
states. During the day In summer the
sun melts the Ice r.round the top, but
at night It freezes agnlu. Tlie well,
reservation regard It as a great curl-
