id growth has been recently, during

ed by many a? Nebraska's grratest
paper, making most of those things
that intercut Nebraskana mot, in this
way creating place for itself in the
daily life of thousands of Nebraska
homes. The country press generally
could be quoted at saying that the edi
torial page of The Journal ia excep
tionally strong and fearlessly inde
pendent. It ia also unusually bright,
liixby himself being a gem, No writer
an Nebraska ever had the warm admi
ration of so many as Dixby. His col
umn in The Journal is alono worth the
pricetof the paper. Ilia wholesome
philosophy will put sunshine and cheer
into tbs most chronic gronch. The
tate university, the state house and
U the other public institutions at
Lincoln make The Journal peculiarly a

excluding all liquor and impnre mecu
cal advertising. Its sporting depart
ment ia clever and there with the

Sioux City Journal, 9th : To induce
the Sioux City Service company to ex
tend its street car sorvico to Crystal
lake is the plan which is being agi
tilled at present, principully by resi
dents of South Sioux City, who appear
to desire additional access to the lake.
Considerable time at the' meeting of
the South Sioux City council last night
was givon over to a discussion of the
proposition and with scarcely a dissent
ing voice the councilman expressed
themselves in favor of the plan A
resolution was adopted favoring the
extension of the Service company's
liae to Crystal lake, and although the
matter of a franchise was discussed at
no length, it is believed the residents
of South Sioux City would vote for a
friinchise with a large majority. That
the residents of Sioux City also are in
terested in the plan is shown by sever
al petitions which were shown to the
councilmen last night, containing near
ly 3000 names of Sioux Citvans ex
pressing themselves as favoring the
proposition. According to F 8 Ma
comber, cijy clerk of South Sionx City,
there is a growing desire on the part
of South Sioux Cityans for additional
service to Cn sUl lake. He said the
residents of that town are enthusiastic
over the plan. According to J L Ken
nedy, conusel for the Service company,
thnt corporation has not asked for a
franchise to Crytal lake and baa no
Wire to create competition with exist
ing lines. "The greatest drawback to
such a project." said Mr Kennedy, "is
ttie contract under which the Service
company carries passenger over the
combination bridge. We pay 5 cents
for every passenger we carry across
the bridge," he said, "while the bridge
company issues tickets permitting per
tons to cross the bridge at the rate of
3 1 cents." E L Kirk, general mana
ger for the Service company, said the
company bad not asked for a franchise
and was not pushing the matter. Ac
cording to South Sioux City officials
the entire distance from the present
terminus of the Service company's line
into South Sioux City to Crystal lake
is in the corporate limits of South
Sioux City, so there probably would be
little difficulty in eeouriDg right of
way in case the determination is made
to extend the line. Plans are being
made lor ten additionl street lights
in South Sioux City and they probably
nut uu iijomweu wuuin a snort time.

the possession of the domestic quali
ties, those that relate to the care of
the home, she seems In many In
stances unaccountably larking, says a
writer. Tho girl of to-d.iy does not
talie the Interest In, or time for, do
mestic science that her mother did.
She prefers the parlor to the kitchen
and does not deem It necessary thnt
she have a practical knov-lcdge of the
home she Inhabits. All Is bo well-ordered
and in the hands of such com
petent servants that there seems no
need for her Intervention.
The art of cocking Is not bo attrac

fancy that Beem3 to her more orna
mental. She can always make candy
seldom bread. There Is something
lacking In a girl's education who has
not been taught that a . thorough
knowledge of the kitchen Is Just as
great an accomplishment as thnt of
any of the arts or sciences. There
may be no necessity for her to enter
the kitchen, but she should avail her
self of the opportunity, when young,
to learn that which In later life will
prove of such great benefit.
While man does not In any way en

her knowledge (or lack of It) on the
subject. If a man, as Is said, must

Inelegant but true then the "reach

Too little thought Is given to this
subject on which depends so much. It
Is nothing uncommon to hear a girl

a "fine rider," but one seldom hears
her mentioned as a "good cook." It !s
because she prefers th showy accoav

3! AT CLOSE RANGE.
"Buffalo" Jones, who had charge of
the wild animals In Yellowstone Park,
discovered that the cougar Is king of
all the beasts of North America. Even
a grizzly dashed away In great haste
when a cougar made lt3 appearance.
Zane Grey, In "The Last of the Plains
men," recounts some of Jones' expert
ences.
Jones asserts that a cougar would
usually run from a hunter, but that
this action Is not to be relied on. And
a wounded cougar Is as dangerous as
a tiger.
In his hunts Jones carried a shot
gun, and shells loaded with ball for
the cougar, and others loaded with fine
shot for small game. One day, about
ten miles from camp, the hounds took
a trail and ran rapidly, as there were
only a few Inches of snow. Jones
found a large Hon had taken refuge
In a tree that had fallen against an'
other, and aiming at the shoulder ot
the beast, he fired both barrels.
The cougar made no sign, that he
had been bit.
Jones reloaded and fired at the head.
The old fellow growled fiercely, turned
in the tree, and walked down head
first, something he would not have
been able to do had the tree been up
right
Realizing that he had been shooting
fine shot at the animal, Jones began a
hurried search for a shell loaded with
a ball. The Hon made for him, and
compelled him to dodge behind trees.
Even though the hounds kept nipping
the cougar, the persistent fellow still
pursued the hunter.
At last Jones found the right shell
just as the cougar reached for him.
Major, the leader of the hounds, dart
ed bravely in and grasped the leg of
the bmst just In the nick of time. This
enabled Junes to take aim and fire at
close range, which ended the fight.
Upon examination It was discovered
that the cougar had been half-blinded
by the fir.e shot, which accounted for
the Ineffectual attempts he had made
to catch Jones.
A "Roland for nu Oliver."
The common phrase to give a ''Ro
land for an Oliver," owes its origin
to the romances of the Middle Ages.
Roland and Oliver were real persons
the two most famous of the twelve
peers who surrounded Charlemagne.
Their exploits were represented in
such an exaggerated and ridiculous
fashion by the old romancers, that the
two names became synonyms for ex
travagant tales. Finally the expres
sions arose of giving one a "Roland
for his Oliver," to signify the match
ing of one Incredible lie with an
other. Soon StlOed.
A poor, half-fed, shrinking German
peddler rapped timidly. Mrs. Kelly,
whose temper that day was bad, fluns
open the kitchen door and glowered
down at him. Everybody's Magazine
tcils tha story. '
"Did yez wish to see me?" she de
manded, in threatening tonc3.
The man backed off a few steps.

The Seattle Exposition invites you. The Facific Coast coun
try, in the development of its
to journey through that land.
tains is a magical resource, shaped to the genius of electrical and
horticultural wizards; those mighty forests are the last of their
kind left standing in this country; there are no such orchards,
orange groves or floral landscapes in the world nor have there
ever been. On a tour of the Coast you pass through an empire
where the romance of the Spanish past has been merged with the
human activities of the new west.
See your own country; see
wealth, population and incomparable cities, and learn what a
future it may offer to your sons ; this five thousand mile journey
is a broad education. 1909 offers much to temot vou.
