to be apparent In this region, with the

announced his willingness to run loi

Brings Altar From Mexico.
DAVID CITY "Not often does a
merscn have the opportunity to sue
ssfully perform a difficult task re-
iioiring real effort and diplomacy as
vi-as recently accomplished by Mrs. k
v. Crane, formeily Miss Maggie
MDlcr, daughter of Judge Matt Miller
if David City, when she did the almost
impossible feat of bringi-.g from
Guanajuato, Mexico, to Riverside, Cal
an ancient ami valuable altar from one
of the old Spanish churches," says an
article in the last issue of the Butler
tCounty Iress.
The. altar, said to be probably the
most beautiful in the world, ig valued
at $150,000.
About a year ago a distant relative
of Mr. Crane, a Mr. Miller, owner of
the Mission Inn at Hiverside, Cal., was
visiting Mr. and Mrs. Crane in Guana
juato, and after viewing the magnifi
cent altar hetold Mrs. Crane that if
she would buy the altar and get it into
the United States he would buy it from
her and place it in the Mission Inn.
Mrs. Crane was successful in her en
deavor only after some six months of
ine most strenuous ana concentrated
effort, and after interviewing most of
the higher officials in Mexico was
e-iven a permit to take the altar from
Mexico.
the governor. The state would pay the
expense in each cae, so that the que
t.on is one of who makes the trips.
Further, says the governor, if the
architect came to Lincoln, them!
would be the added expense of ship
ping a model of the capitol, cbout six
feet high, to Lincoln.

' First Train for Voder.
SCOTTSBLUFF It I. practically
certain that on Thursday, December
1, the Union I'acific will run its first
train into Yodcr, unless construction
work is unduly delayed the next two
weeks by bad weather, says the Goshen
Hole Journal. It is well known there j
is sufficient mnterial at hand for com-i
pleting the track to Yoder, and the
work is being pushed ju;t as fast as !
possible. I he steel gang should
rive in Yoder December 2fth.
j It is stated the actual laying of the
I steel could easily lc done in a week,
but it has been decided to surface

As soon as tne road is completed

will then proceed to build the Cherry
Creek spur. Several large comps will
soon le moved to 1 oiler, which will
shortly become the base for operations

quarters for the workmen. This will
bring another large body of men to
Yoder for the winter months.
New Wrinkle for High Schools.
ALBION The board of education
has appointed Miss Ethel Williamson
ot the high school faculty dean of
.irirls. Her special work is to sponsor
activities of high school girls and to
uide their training along social and
cultural lines. Saturday afternoon the
irls served a formal tea for the Wom
en's clubs of the town, which was
largely uttended. This is the third
function of the year.
Unconscious for Six Months.
LONG PINE Joseph Hale Johnson,
30, son of W. K. Johnson of this city,
lied after an illness of six months. He
had been unconscious since May 20,
and for six weeks was in a deep sleep.
Doctors claim the disease was caused
Jby inflammation of the brain.
To Delay Work on Capitol.
LINCOLN Actual work on the new
capitol building proper will not begin
uintil the spring of 1923, according to
iecisions reached at the meeting of
ti e capitol commission. The contract
Jfk' the construction of the foundation
wJU be let not earlier than March of
next spring. Later, in the same year,
.contracts for the super-structure will
ie let, so that the contractors and
builders can get the material assem
bled in readiness for actual construc
tion, which is to begin in 1923.
.The reason for this delay, says Gov
ernor McKelvie, is that building costs
are gradually decreasing, and that a
further decline may be looked for.
When the capitol commission first be
gan to consider co?t, the cost of con
struction per cubic foot of space was
53 cents. That cost has now dropped
to 30 cents per cubic foot. ,
The reason that the full membership
of the capitol commission is going to
New York on December 9 and 10 to
confer with B. G. Goodhue, architect.
and with the foundation architects, is"
that 11 the commission did not go, the
arcniiect ami lour ot nis engineers
would have to come to Nebraska, says
Marines Guard the Mails.
LINCOLN United States marines
will shortly replace the special armed
guards placed on Nov. 9, on trains
operating between Lincoln and Kansas
City, Denver and Billings, according
statement by Chief Clerk John M.
Bytler, of the railway mail service.
"We expect the detail of marines tr
reach Lincoln almost any time now,"
said Mr. Butler. "There will probably
be a larger number of marines placed
on the tranis as guards than number
now maintained.
Fifteen former soldiers were put on
Nov. 9 by Mr. Butler to art as special
armed guards on trains through Lin
coln, following authorization received
to that effect from the second as
sistant postmaster general. The men
are to receive $112.50 a month.
lhe marine. in all probability will
for a time maintain their headquarters
at the federal building, according to
Mr. Butler. It is probable that about
four squads of marines will bo station

The ex-service men now on guard
duty on the trains were recommended
by the Lincoln Legion post.
Western Nebraska '
Story Tellers Are
No Longer Champions
With deep regret, The Herald chron
icles the parsing of the Munchausen
medal from western Nebraska. Every
year there is a new batch of snake
stories, and some of this year's crop
have been remarkable indeed, but the
local story-tellers are outclassed en
tirely by a Georgia writer, who tells
the following tale of the devotion of a
mother snake to her young:
"Mother birds feign broken wings
and leg, a mother cat will fight for
her kittens, mother dogs also will
fight, other animals nave various
means of defending their offspring, but
Georgia has a snake that is absolutely
original.
. "ihere are, it is true, no corrobora
tive witnesses to back up this story
and it has been mighty hot in Georgia
this summer, but the man who told the
story is a vity clerk of Atlanta and is
believed to be one of those mysterious
reliable sources you read about, so
here's the yarn:
"Walter Taylor, city clerk of Atlan
ta, got it in second-hand shae from
the eye-witness, Joe Epsom, who lives
at Salt Springs, so says Walter. Joe
tells the story like this:
" 'A few days ago,' said Mr. Epsom,
'I was near the well on my place when
I saw a larire blacksnake coming down
a path. That wasn't extraordinary,
but a second look coifYinced me that
here, now, was something worth look
ing into. Ten tiny little baby snakes
were playfully following the big snake.
I hid behind a tree and watched.
"'lhe mother snake was moving
faintly. Her mouth was open and she
was panting. Every once in a while
she; would stop and fan herself briskly
with her tail, in which she had a large
oak leaf. It was evident she had come
a long way for something and was
about all in. The day was unusually
warm.

PROTECTION
When Life's shadows grow 'dim and the twi
light of years settles upon us, the most corn
foiling: companion, the most dependable one
to look to for cheer in our declining years is
a substantial bank balance.
We sometimes lose track of the fact that we can
not always work as we do now. Many an old couple
could be happier and far more' comfortable today if
just a little more foresight had been used in their
younger days, and the savings habit had been start
ed when money meant less to them than it does
today.
Start now to lay aside a little each week to
provide a competence for old age. A few
cents a day will do it consider them spent
foolishly if necessary, and you will be inde
pendent and comfortable when the silver
hairs come.
Let us show you how easy it can be done.

to the well and, with great effort,
climbed to where a bucket of watei
wa standing on the structure. The
baby snakes formed in a ring around
a hole about the size of a soup dish
in the ground. It was plain she had
come for the purpose of watering l.er
family.
" 'Mother snake wrapped her tail
around the bucket and strove to turn
it over. She couldn't. Then she grasp
ed the bail and tried again, but it
again was too murh for her. She stop
ped and scratched her head with her
tail, trying to think of 'something else
to do. Suddenly an idea struck her.
She stood on her head and dipped her
tail into the bucket, then removed it
and allowed the water to drip into the
hole where her babies were waiting.
She mu.-tt have repeated that opera
tion a hundred times, but the hole was
finally filled. Then she descended and
gave the babies a lesnon in drinking.
She had done all this without taking a
drink herself.
" 'Her duty to her family completed,
the old snake wearily dragged herself
once more to the bucket and by an al
most super-snake effort sank her head
in the water and drank.

in a snake with greater devotion to
its children.' "
