CABBY ON!
CABBY ON!
Roads all blocked an’ the pump’s
froze up,
Cider’s gone an’ the goose et up—
Chorea ain’t done and I’m short
on hay
But Merry Christmas anyway.
The above verse appeared upon
a Christmas card which Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Veatch received from
former residents of Cottage Grove.
It happens that the verse tells to
those who can read between the
lines exactly what has happened
to these former residents. They
have had sickness and expense and
have lost their ham« in paying
doctor and hospital bills, yet
they are cheerful enough to joke
about their misfortunes on Christ
mas day.
Despite the turn of
fortune for the worse, they have
not ceased to carry on.
Nor have they forgotten old
friends in the old home town. They
could send nothing of an expensive
nature. The purchase of Christmas
cards may have been a sacrifice,
but their fortunes could not be
so low, hardships could not be so
many, discomforts could not be
so unbearable as to erase from
memory those who knew them in
more prosperous days.
It is this spirit that smiles at
misfortune that has made the
American nation one of builderB—
that has made this nation the most
forward of all nations of the earth.
Wo may shed a friendly tear for
those of our friends whom mis
fortune has for the moment under
heel, but those who smile when the
pump is froze up, the cider gone,
the goose < et up arid the hay
almost gone, —
will BOme day live
in a steam heated 1 home, will have
geese to give away fof Christmas
dinners and hay to spare for those
less fortunate.
For the community The Sentinel
sends best wishes to these brave
ones whose names it does not feel
free to print.

RALPH HAND AND BOB
KRUSE WRESTLE DRAW
Hand Had Only Fall Up to Last
Moment of Fast Match.
Ralph Hand and Bob Kruse
wrestled to a draw last night in
Eugene, Hand took the first fall
in an hour and 12 minutes with a
toehold and as the moment arrived
for the final gong to sound at the
end of an hour and a half it
seemed that the Portland boy
would be unable to take a fall
from the former Cotage Grove
wrestler. During the last few sec
onds, however, Kruse wrapped his
leg around Hand’s arm and forced
him down to the mat. After some
argument it was decided that
Hand’s shoulders had touched the
mat a second or two before the
sounding of the gong.
Both men wrestled gamely and
the members of the audience were
well pleased with the decision. As
a result of the draw the two will
meet again January 12, tho winnei
being promised a match with either
Ted Thye or Mike Yokel.
“Wildcat” Pete and Ted Brown
also wrestled to a draw, while
Mark Sanderson won from Guy
Lamb.
