SCHILLER & CO., Prescription Druggists First Door North of First National Hank Eskimo Courtship. If European death scenes astonish, tbo consenting "Yes" of a bride at mar riage shocks an Eskimo woman. Not only must a bride show herself uncon-, seating; she must. If she respects her self and tribal traditions, scream and strugglo with all her might when her wooer or his envoy enters her famUy residence and. laying hold upon her, drags her. usually by the topknot, to her new home. Sho may be pre-j scntcd with a uow lamp and water pall by her bridegroom, and she Is as a general thlngf mightily pleased at her change of csfnte. But sho Is far too circumspect to show her pleasure or affection and keeps up a noisy dem onstration until Bho feels that sho has done all that a well bred maiden should -do.' If sho does not excrclso proper discrimination In this matter her lord sometimes scratches the soles of her feet so that she cannot run away to her parents. Ilnrper's Bazar. Turner's Llttlo Afterthought. An English critic's referenco to Tur ner's due picture "Tho Wijeck Buoy'1 reminds a faithful newspaper .reader of a curious anecdote In connection with It. When Turner llrst sent this picture to the Itoyal academy It was hung among soveral brilliantly colored pictures. On varnishing day Turner found tho effect of his dull gray ren derlug of a stormy sea altogether spoiled by Its bright surroundings, Without a moment's hesitation ho painted In tbo lighted buoy lu tho fore ground, and Its dab of crimson light showed so brilliantly lu Its gloomy set ting that Turner's picture became the prominent one, and Its rivals on each side were cast Into the shade. It Is curious. If true, that tho most notice nble feature of tho plcturo should have been an afterthought. Boston Trau script The Shrewd Banker. Thirteen years ago a banker lent a farmer $1,000 with which to buy stock. Tho faritfer. of course, guvo his note. Tho borrower lost on the stock deal and had hard luck generally, so ho couldn't pay the note. Later ho went away, and after many years 'ho mado good again and returned. The banker tried to collect his note, but It was outlawed by a lapso of thirteen years. One day tho baukcr stopped at the man's farm and admired his line pump kins. Tho farmer mado him a pres ent of two largo ones. "I'll Just credit these pumpkins on your old note," tho banker said. "AH right." the farmer said. That revived tho obligation. Tho banker brought suit and recovered in full for tho note and interest. Kansas City Star. Finding His Bride, lu one part of tho canton of Tlclno, In Switzerland, a very quaint marrlago ceremony prevails. Tho bridegroom dresses In his "Sunday best" nnd, ac companied by as many friends and rcl ntlvos as ho can muster for tho fete, goes to claim his bride. Finding the door locked, he demands admittance. The inmates ask him his business, and in reply he solicits the hand of his chosen maiden. If his answer be deemed satisfactory he Is successive ly introduced to a number of matrons nnd maids, some perhaps deformed and others old and ugly. Then ho Is presented to some large dolls, all of which he rejects with scorn, amid gen' oral merriment. Tho bowlldcrod bride groom, whoso impetuosity and temper arc now sorely tried. Is then Informed thnt his ladylove Is absent hud In vited In to see for himself. Ho rushes Into the house and searches from room to room until he finds bcr In her brlrtiil dross ready to go to church. Then nro his troubles over nnd his stnto as a benedict assured. B. R.

In keeping with the established De Laval custom of making the De Laval Cream Separators as much better each year as possible, the De Laval machines for 1910 show even greater perfection than they have In the past The dairy farmer who buys a 1910 De Laval can feel assured that he has by far the best Cream Sepa rator ever made anywhere at any time. The dairy farmer who lets the year or even tho month pass by without at least seeing and examining the 1910 De Laval will be doing himself an injustice. The opportunity of examining and trying a 1910 De Laval right at his own home is open, free of all cost or trouble, to every dairyman who will simply say tho word. Next to a De Laval machine is the De Laval cata logue, free for the asking and containing a separator education in itself. J. W. LeMasters, Agent. 215 EAST FIFTH STREET. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. T.
