This paper has always contended that a pay-as-you-go policy is fully as profitable to the buyer as to the seller, and it has no reason now for changing its view. Doing business on a cash basis encourages frugali ty on the part of the purchaser and saves the merchant from accumu lating a -lot of bad debts which sooner or later will cause him financial embarrassment.

An Attempt to Analyze a Young: "Woman Who Is Superior to Analysis. The southern girl is many sided. Sho is mettlesome and sentimental, practical and fanciful by turns, apt to dance divinely and to flirt and to bo not overcareful nor overmdus- trious, but sho never forgets to say her nravers. and she has unshaka- hie faith in humankind. In man she believes implicitly. She may not believe all the raptur ous things he says to her, but she credits hiniwith generous impulses, thinks him capable of all theliigher emotions and values him as a com rade, an admirer and a repository for romantic confidence. If he tum bles out of the niche where she has put him, she wonders, but is willing to regard the case as an exception and to set him up again, after due scoldincr and -punishment. She has unbounded confidence in his ability for smoothing over rough places for her and removing any obstacles that mav rise in her "path. Men are al- ways good to woman, she thinks her father is, and so is her brother and her cousin Jim. The southern girl enjoys with all her heart. She likes music and mo tion and life and color and plenty of nice people about her saying pleasant things. She likes all this, but she is seldom mercenary. Rear ed usually among simple surround ings, the greed for money has not entered into her soul. It is possible for her to have attained her twen tieth year and never to have dined or supped outside of a private house in her life. She likes the person who pleases her, independent of his extrinsic surroundings, and at any time will slight the attentions of a "good match" to devote herself to the man whose waltz step suits her and who has power of entertaining. She is ingenious and tactful, with all her dawdlin.fr wnvs rind lrmmid All OU1' capes and COafcs must be closed Out reflravdless airs. She can turn her last season's of cost.

Mrs. G. S. Huffman. Broncho Jack, the cow-boy re vivalist, talked to a large audience on tlie streets Tuesday evemntr. and Wednesday evening held his meeting in the room next to Streitz's store. Jack has a rather homely way of expressing himself but man ages to hold an audience in pretty fair shape. h. W. Russell, of Glenwood, Iowa, representing Friend Bros, cel ebrated line ot tailor made clothing, was in town Wednesdav. This is the firm that made Milwaukee fa mous as a clothing market, and pany she is in. The southern girl or woman bom in the murky atmosphere of the late sixties, imperfectly educated, debar red from advantages which her par- snts craved for her, will give the stranger an impression of culture which perhaps a critical examina tion would not bear out. The southern girl is a paradox, with her capacity for unselfishness and absurdity, with her pride and the U. P. employes relative to the scorn of petty meanness and her disposition of the money paid into serious strivings after the econom- the hospital fund. A turkey shoot is announced for Christmas forenoon on the shooting ground of the local gun club. Geo. W.

The recent forced payment of personalty taxes wasanrghly gcod thing for the county, but coming as it did just before Christmas the merchants were deprived of several thousand dollars worth of holiday trade which thej otherwise would have received. H. C. Rennie yesterday received the finest as was well as the larcr est music box ever shipped to North Platte. Yesterday custom ers at the store were privileged to hear the sweet tones of this instru ment and each declared it the finest they had ever heard. If you want to give a present that will be appreciated as a work of art as well as a token of remem brance, buy something from the magnificent line of French and Carlsbad novelties in Chinaware at Harrington & Tobin's.

"Yes," she said, "but I hear them cutting down trees in the forest sometimes, and every blow of the ax hurts my heart." She had met Mr. August Belmont and had received commissions from him to paint two jictures when ho was United States minister at The Hague. She had told him that she was exceedingly busy and couldn't paint them very soon, and he had said: "How long must I wait? One year, two years? I am getting old, and I waii- them soon." She asked him how old he was, and when he said, "Seventy-one," she replied, ?'That is isy age too." So she shook hands with him and told him she would paint the pictures for him at once. Mme. Bonheur related this inci dent to her visitors and added : ' 'Mr. Belmont is a great Democrat, isn't he? When will he be elected presi dent of the United States?" She evi dently thought his chances were very good, but Mr. vanderbilt told her he thought they were about as good as his own, and his he considr ered painfully small, so Mine.

Phil May, the English artist, is a youngish looking man, whose very physiognomy, with the strong chin and prominent underlip gripping the other lip tightly, so to speak, gives one the impression of a re servo and taciturnity which on fur ther acquaintance one finds is well founded. Ho is gonorou3 and good natured to a degree, but to his friends as well as to tlie interview er he is not a great talker, being in the general way an exceedingly good listenci, a grim smile general ly indicating his appreciation of what is being said, while you can feel that his sharp, rather "know ing" eyes are taking in everything, while his active brain is turning it to good account. Trees. Authorities on forestry say that 75 years are required for tlie oak to reach maturity; for the ash, larch and elm, about the same length of time; for the spiuce and fir, about 80 years. After this time their growth remains stationary for some years, and then decay begins. There are, however, some exceptions to -this, for oaks aro still living which aro known to be 1,000 years old.
