THE SEM1WEIKLY TRIBIiHt IRA. L BMXTt, Publisher. TERMS, 91.3S IN ADVANCE) NORTH PLATTK NEBRASKA MILLSTONE AROUND THE NECK Business Man Who Buys on Credit ! Really Borrowing Money and i Trouble. ' Ho who is In dobt seldom smiles. 1 There aro debtors who aro certain of their debts and nover loeo sloop, but thoro aro debtors by tbo thousands who are forced Into tbo money marts and who oniergo with momentary re lief and a burden of Interest on the hoart as well as on tbo money. Debt makes many a lino across tho faco and brings nco to a hurried autumn. The man who makes a debt should bo Bure that ho can smilo after It Is made. Whon the day of maturity begins to round the home stretch and makes Its rapid strides to the line of maturity when the debtor counts his dollars that ho thought would bo on hand for hla payments and finds that thoy did not roll In as ho expected when tho day of debt payment passes under the .wire and tho man goes out to pay for the raco he Beldom goes Uko tho man who has a bankbook in his hand for 'any emergencies. Debt hovers over a homo as a pond lag danger. Fretfulness and worry take the placo of bright spirits. Sloop flits around and will not sottlo to ropose on the slumberor. Like death, tho morchant and the farmer who enter tho lists of debts, face tho samo penalties. The well-fed man begins to lose his 'buoyancy. HIb eyo is not full of mettle and Are of former days. Tho dobtor foolB guilty. Guilt will not permit a clear countenance. It tearrlcs a shadow, however faint. Thd man who buys on credit Is a dobtor. Ho is asking tho dealer to lond him tho money and ho .pays tho interest. The dealer Is not la business for his health nuy more than tho real money lender. Ills interest is frequently lar Ror. , Thcro Is a rulo that mon have found for keeping. a strong eye and a clear conscience: Pay cash, koop the intor est; debts will thon not accumulate. It is an easy rulo to give, but, oh, bo Sara to follow. Memphis Nows-Sclml tnr. ; Whales That Dlo for Love. M. Edmond Porrlor, addressing tho Acadomy of Bcionco at Paris recontly, described a whale that voluntarily ends its days when its companion dlofl. A specimen has boon preserved by M. M. Anthony of St. Vaast, do la Houguo. This sea mammal is oxtrcmelv ram. said 'JT. Porricr. Desplto its longth of 10 feet, it almost always remains hid den from tho ovos of man.

Tho animal train er will toll yon that in intolllgonco it Is "nip and tuck" bctwocn tho dog and tho elephant, and that in com parison with either of thoso animals tho horso Is nowhere. It Is only in his docility and affection that the horao Is the "animal noxt to roan," and evon in these rcspoots tho dog is a worthy competitor with him. Whon It comos to "knowing things" our faithful friend-1 tho horso is loft far behind by our other frlond and com panion, tho dog, ' The British Constitution. In England thoro is no such thing as a constitution, as we understand tho word in this oountry. The Brit ish constitutionals moroly a mass of law, consisting partly of statutes and partly ot decldod oases and accopted usages, in conformity with which tho government of the country is carried on from day to day. The constitution of the United States Is written and can bo read In 20 minutes time, whllo tho British constitution Is unwritten, save as It Is contained In hundreds of volumes of statutes and roported cases. Captain's Kldd'a Treasures. Captain Kldd is supposod to have buriod a largo treasuro (estimated at 110,000,000) on Oak Island, Chester Basin, Nova Scotia. For nioro than 200 years people have bcon seeking this wealth, but so far without suc cess. In the unavailing search mauy thousands have been, spent. Private individuals and companies hnvo made ropeated attempts since 1705 and Nova Scotia parties aro now earnestly engaged in tho searclx for the buriod millions. Had No Redress. A farmer near Exeter had a flock of turkeys whloh & train ran through killing tou of them. He could not collect damages bocauso turkeys aro not animals, and tho law doos not require the railroads to fence against was, acropiaues or Dauoons. Kan sas City Star. Rhodeslan Railroads. With tho coniplotlon of tho Ben guella railway, from tho Zambesi to the Congo border, Rhodesia will hnvo & sorvico of 3,600 mlloa of railroad. A Plain Tho plain coiffure, void of curl or Wavo or puff, is very protty and stri king, and fortunate are those who can wear it. Fair ones with n plenti ful supply of hair, ns well as good looks, will find this variation of the Greek stylo (so much In vogue), Just suited to them. It rcqulroa a head band nnd a pair of wido combs to hold it well in shape. Tho band is a sort of small shell coronet and answers tho purposo of supporting tho aldo hair nnd adorning the coiffure as woll. Tho hair is parted off for this coif furo or for a pompadour. Tho portion combed back 1b tied at tho base of tho head and twisted into u coll, fast ened with plus. That portion of tho hair combed for ward is to bo parted in the middle. Tho sholl coronet is adjusted to the TO KEEP FACE IN CONDITION Quality of Towel Used la an Impor tant Consideration Proper Care Of Brushes Employed. Always use a soft linen towel for wiping tho faco. The hands aro tho best medium for washing; rough cloths aro nn abomination to n doll cnto Akin and coarsen It, bosldcs har boring germs and impurities detri mental to tho cutlcto. In addition tho soft pulm gives a gcntlo massage, which la especially grateful to a tired, norvous faco. A cloth, however, Is necessary for laving tho neck; for this purposo nothing Is bettor than cheeso cloth, which Is exceedingly choap and can bo frequently ronowed. These cloths should bo boiled out nt leaBt onco a wcok and must bo thoroughly dried In tho open air. Tho samo amount of enro should bo given to the faco brush; It must bo rinsed In hot water and put on tho oulsldo window lcdgVto dry. A good camel's hair faco brUsh, which Is neither too soft nor too harsh, can bo purchased for $1, and If proporly cared for will last for years. Onco or twlco a wcok a good skin food should bo applied with massage to prevent wrlnklos; this Is done after tho scrub bing. TUSSAH SILK WAIST.

After ndJuBtlng the coro net tho hnlr nt onch sldo Its brought back over tho coronot. Tho ends are rolled under to form an additional support for tho hair; and It Is fast ened to place by means of rather long sldo combs aided by hnlr .tins. If tho hair Is very heavy, It Is not necessary to roll tho ends under, ns a support at tho sides.

This colffuro has no ndvantngo over thoso that nro curled and waved, but obvi ously it sieves time and If becoming provides acceptable variety from more claborato modus.

An experimental moving platform BUbwny under Broadway, from Fourteenth to Forty second streets, to be built nnd oper ated by the Continuous Transit Com pnny, In which young Cornelius Van dcrbllt nnd Stuyvcsnnt Fish nro In terested, has, says tho New York Press, been rocommended to the pub lic service commission by tho board's chief engineer, Henry B. Seaman. It will bo a permanent subwny If the public likes It, and Is likely to be adopted In other Intensely congested routes. This is the kind of a subway which Vnnderbllt and his associates tried to get tho old rapid transit board to let them build in Thirty fourth street. Tho project was killed by Metropolitan street railway Interests, bo It was testified In Ivlns' Metropolitan investigation. Dog in Society Hotel at $40 a Week CHICAGO. One week's board for brlndlo bull dog, $22. Ono weok's "board for maid who washes brlndlo Mil dog, 18. Thero It Is in a nutsholl a problem story from tho fashionable Moralno ho tel in Highland Park. Tho owner of the dog, 'the man who pays the bill every week, Is Clarence Wooloy, a Chicago capitalist, recontly returned .from Europe with his wife and a new brlndlo pup. And such a pup! Its fortltudo Is marvelous. It endured moro attentions In tho way of luxurious personal grooming than nine-tenths of tho men of Chicago would permit, evon if thoy could afford to pay $22 a week board. In exchange for certain of tho pup's conditions of life, however, that samo percentage of citizens gladly would uupplant It in its idyllic lot. For not only does tho brlndlo pup llvo under tho roof that spends a good part of Its time keeping tho weather off members of tho very highest soci ety, but It eats and sleeps and disports ltBolf In the apartments of Mr. Billy Went Down PITTSBURG. "Billy," a goat, parent age obscure and ownership un known, reaped the rownrd of all who "butt In" where thoy aro not wanted, and was held a prisoner at tho Porry stroot (North sldo) police station, whoro ho was "bawled out," but not balled out. Incldont to tho nrrcst four North sldo policemen aro not certain whether they or "Billy" was the goat BUy had been raising well, for some tlmo ho had mado hlmsolf obnox ious. Ho was homicidal in soma of his nioods nnd a general pollco order wnn sent out to bring him In. Policeman John Guerlng heard n commotion whllo ho was patrolng School street, and Investigated. Ho saw Billy playing football with a largo inobriated person nnd making throe yard gains at every buck. Just aB tho Lost Appetite for Cheap Lunches NEW YORK. "Somo years ago," said a Wall street man who has operated a lot of monoy from other people's pookcts into his own, "It was a matter of necessity In our household to look after tho pennies, leaving the dollars to caro for them solves. In tho fixed distribution of my meager income, I allowed 15 cents each day for my lunch. "I wont day after day to a quick lunch room, whoro napkins, waiters' tips and other flummeries wero dis pensed with and each visitor walked up to tho counter and helped him self. A sandwich, a cup of coffeo and- a pleco of plo was my uaual doso; 15 cents was tho total, and over that I never went. Mauy a time Terse Form Seaman tells tho public servlc commission (lint tho continuous bell conveyor has been found to bo tlu cheapest nnd speediest mechanical coutrlvnnco in factories nnd ware houses, nnd ho bcllovcs the saint principle can bo applied to rapid transit. Tho Idea is to hnvo a coiv tlnuous moving platform, equipped with scats, moving at 12 miles an hour. Tho passenger will first stor. on a platform going three miles, an hour, then to nn adjoining ono going six miles nn hour, then to the noxl one colng nlno miles nn hour, 'and lastly, to tho endless movlug plat form. Tho local subwny trains, Seaman says, never average more than IE miles nn hour nnd do not go mort than 12 miles an hour In rush houn and their limit is 22,500 passe gcrs an hour. Tho expresses, lit says, can carry only 3G.O0O an hour. Surfnco cars, ho says, mako onlj thrco miles an hour In rush hours and novcr raoro than eight miles an hour. As against this, ho says, the continuous moving platform will carry 73,500 passeugcrs an hour, all seated. Wooloy. Its meals aro brought In bj an obsequious waiter. No one ever has dared to Imagine what would happen to tho proud chel of tho Moralno It tho pup's tenderloin should como on Improperly garnished, and traccdy would havo a new mean ing If tho frog's legs for his pupcrlal majesty wero breaded coarsely. Whether n courtier In tho shape of a yollow pup Is kept In tho Moralno to tasto tho pampered puplet's cutlets for poison is not known, but it is a fact that tho Wooloy pup has two trunks of its ownlo llttlo own. A carefully guarded secret, which might Indicate plebelanlsm on tho pup's part, Is that It has not yet learned to cat lettuce and olives. It'sa-forcIgn pup, too. But when at night tho sand man comes and tho dear llttlo brlndlo eye lids begin to droop tho pup is tucked away In Just tho cutest llttlo brass bed, with a real feather mattress, all made to order. Every day a maid whoso board costs Mr. Wooloy $18 a week tenderly gives the pup a bath. Then comes tho alco hol rub, after which tho pup Is wrap ped In a Navajo blanket which means something If you know how much Navajo blankets cost. Out dry from tho soft blankot tho pup is sprin kled with perfumed toilet water and tnken for a constitutional by a bellboy. This Is tho only tlmo tho pup Is por mlttcd to got nnywhoro near tho com mon sort of voters. a Subdued Victor goat was about to mako a touchdown Guerlng tacklod. They went down, bul "Billy" had tho "bawl." Guorlng slg nalcd for help, and Pollcoman John Clancy, who hnd beon laying for "Billy" in Robinson street, went into tho game. "Billy" formed himself Into a flying wedgo, and mndo a gallant strugglo for goal, but ho was out weighed and was led to a patrol box. When tho wagon arrived "Billy" had regained his second wind and was ready for tho second half. Wagon men John Michael and John Bannon tok n hand, nnd- nfter a hard fight "Billy" was tied In tho wagon. Ho objected to the Indignity, but his ob jections woro overruled with a night stick. Ho mado things lively whon taken out of tho wagon nt the patrol station. Ho was given tho third de greo nnd part of tho fourth, bound with n long, stronc rono. nnd thrnwn Into tho stable. Tho pollco thon tried to locato tils owner, but no ono seemed nnxloua to como forward nnd stand sponsor for "the lncorrlglblo "Billy."
