.The Nebraska Tress Association
will meet next year with the Omaha
bunch and that means the lid will be
raised for a few days and placed on
the reef.
Poet Laureate Austin of England,
receives a cask of wine per annum as
salary for the rotten doggernl he
dishec up under the label of poetry.
If the wine is no better than the stuff
he writes perhaps the price he re
ceives for his efforts is not too much
but it will have to be a mighty poor
article.
President Taft has overdrawn his
allowance of $25,000 a year in travel
ing about the country in response to
invitation from republicans and demo
crats in various parts of the country
and wants to draw on the allowances
for next year, but the democrats ob
ject. There are a whole lot of cheap
ekates in congress and most of them
belong to the democratic paryt.
Jack Johnson was given room No.
thirteen at a massage resort and
never kicked. He says that the num
ber thirteen has no terrors for him
and that he will lick Jeffries without
the aid of a rabbit's foot or any other
charm, because be is the best man.
Perhaps he will know when the oper
ation is over he has been up against
the real thing.
.The city of Lincoln recently enter
tained the state editors and now the
commercial club of that city has hung
up a S 300 prize to be given to the
editor who writes and prints in his
paper the best story on the future of
Lincoln. There is going to b a lot
of nice things written of the state
capital very soon and that $300 is
going to be money well invested as
an advertisement.
by the attorney for the defense as
"an ideal juror." Is it not about
time that the practice of permitting
ignorance to be a man's best recom
mendation for juror service be
charged and intelligence substituted.
This nation is a nation of high
ivcrs as for instance the importation
into New York City from abroad
during the past ten months of over
orty millions of dollars worth of
diamonds and other precious stones.
A Pender preacher delivered a coun
ty option sermon, recently and was
probably not satisfied that his
efforts had been given the circulation
it deserved, so he went (presumably)
to the newspaper office and had it
printed in supplement form to be
sent out with the regular edition of
thejpapcr, instead of paying for its
printing and sending it through the
mails properly stamped. 'Uncle Sam's
postoffice officials Baid, Nay, Nay,
you must pay or your stuff don't go
and the publisher paid. Now there
ha"? been a lot of hot air expended by
the Press association members when
in session at Lincoln and in the state
papers.KThe postoffice department is
absolutely right in its position. The
matter in the supplement was in no
sense of word part or legitiment por
tion of paper and therefore notentitled
to go through the mails as second
class matter. Too many times the
newspaper man permits himself to be
used by the different interests to
break into the limelight and beat
the postal laws and a halt should be
called at once. In the case cited
above, if that preacher wanted his
sermon given a wider circulation than
it had received, he should have had it
printed in pamphlet form, stamped
it and sent it out through the mails in
a regular and business-like manner.

I hereby announce myself as a
candidate for County Commissioner

mcnt of L. R. Ostran. In May,
1903, Mr. Ostran purchased the
plant and was proprietor of the
paper . until May, 1901, when
Alex Rough became the purchas
er. Mr. Rough edited the paper
a little over two years and in No
vember, 1900, the management
passed to J. Cliny ton Brown. Mr.
Brown guided the Beacon ou its
way until June, 190S, when J.
E. Brinkworth assumed control.
During Mr. Brinkworth 's stay
the Beacon was enlarged to a 5
column quarto, four pages home
print, the present size. For a
short time the name of Mrs.
Inez Brinkworth appeared as ed
itor until last September when
the office was purchased by the
present owner. .
The Beacon has improved under
the mangement of Bro. Allen and the
people of Eagle should see to it that
the paper never changes hands again
at least not for a few weeks anyway,
even if, in publishing the names of
those on the roll of honor, he did snub
George A. Mayfield, who also furnished
oil for the Beacon light a short while.
Good luck to you, Charley.
A Minnesota man with a bad case
of qualms and conscience is now re
siding in California. Six years ago he
was convicted of grand larceny and
sentenced to the Hate prison for
twenty-five years. After serving a
few months he made his escape and
went to the coast. Recently he be
came sorry and notified the officials
that he wanted to go back and serve
out his term. He will alright, but
we wonder what the dickens there is
about Minnesota that appeals so
strongly to him.
A North Dakota man was drawn
the other day to serve as juror and
when asked among other questions
if he knew who William II. Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt was, acknowledg
ed that he did not. He did think
he had heard Roosevelt's name men
tioned sometime or other, but just
when or where he was unable to say.
That manjwas accepted as a man fit
to sit on a jury and try a man for
his life or pass 'judgment upon pro
erty interest He was referred to

viiancy Alien is a ooastiui cuss
and we allow he has it over the rest of
the county papers in his latest. Elev
en times his paper has changed hands
in twelve years and that sure is some
thing worth bragging about. Char
ley does not say anything about quit
ting so we opine that he proposes to
stick and not get stuck. But read
what he says in the last issue of his
Eagle Beacon.
With this issue the Beacon
.starts upon its twelfth year. In
this short term of years it has
changed ownership eleven
times.
The first issue was published
by O. M. Mayfield, May 6, 1899,
After managing the Beacon three
. short mouths Mr. Mayfield sold
out to Sandie Morrison, July 22.
November 10 of the same year,
Sandie sold the Beacon to his
brother Ed and bought the Ar
cadia Champion. In January
1900 the brothers traded locations
ans Sandie again presided over
the columns of the Eagle paper
. until January 20, 1902, when for
one issue only the paper came forth
under the ownership of B. I. Clem
ents and R. E. Currant, but the
next issue Sandie' name again
appeared as editor, he having
bought back his first love nt an
increase in price. In July, 1902
O. K. Barr bought the Beacon
and placed it under the manage
Valuable Prizes for Bible Study
We call the attention of our readers
to the "Suggestive Questions on the
Sunday School lesson" in this issue.
They only needto be read to be ap
preciated, and if read carefully, com
paring the'questions with the Scrip
ture upon which they are based they
will not fail to impress the reader
with their signficance,
These questions are inspiring ser
mons, addresses, and newspaper ar
ticles in hundreds of towns; they are
a stimulus and help to thousands of
BibleJClass teachers and students.
The man on the street reads and dis
cusses them with his chum; they are
read in the homes of the people' and
affordjnteresting subjects for profi
table discussion. Almost any one
question will suggest as much thought
to the average reader as would take a
newspaper column to express, and the
thought would be his own.
The questions are not dry tomes,
they arefresh, interesting, and sug-
gesrive, and one can learn from them,
by way of suggestion, more than by
reading an entire magazine devoted to
the philosophy of every-day life.
These fquestions cover the all
round needs of human nature, while
they are a wonderfu' help in elucidat
ing, and enforcing the Bible lesson
upon which they are based.
Don't failto read them from now
on and be ready to start in the easy

A Nice CaftuMion. ' "
Two very dear old ladles walked up
to the window where tickets were to
be sold for two popular concerts. They
wanted tickets for both ulguts; but.
alas, those for the second evening
were all gone! This was the more
popular eutertalnnient of the two.
Tui so sorry, my dear:" pattered
one of the old ladles to the other. "We
did want to to, didn't we. aud wo
wanted to go both nights?"
'You couldn't give us two tickets
for each night?" Inquired the other
of the clerk.
"No. ma'ain."
"You haven't two seats anywhere
for the second night?"
'No, ma'am. Couldn't give you nose
room."
A great resolution beamed upon her
gentle face.
'Then." said she Drinly, "give me
four tickets for the first night We
will make thorn do."
"Why, sister." quavered the other.
"you're going to invite somebody?"
'No." said she, "but if we can't go
both ulghts" She paused, bewilder
ed, quite out of her calculation. Then
happy thought struck her, and she
added. "We'll go twice the first night"

A Wandering Lake.
Lake Nor. in the Tabl desert in
southwestern Asia, which has been
called the 'wandering lake." presents
phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sveu
Iledlu has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phenomenon.
It appears, according to that explor
er, that the Tarini river, entering the
lake from the west, brings down dur
ing the period of high water late in
summer a great quantity of salt,
which has the effect of driving the lake
lying ou the level floor of the desert
toward the southeast But the "sum
mer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust.
blows generally from the northeast
and it, too, tends to drive the lake be
fore It The combined effect of the
urging by the wind and the river Is
to force the lake southward. Yet it
Is thought the migration of the lake
is not constant in direction, but It
shifts back and forth Intermittently,
according as the circumstances change.
She Forgot.
At 3 o'clock the abseutminded wo
man left home with an umbrella. At
the subway station she concluded it
wouldn't rain and left the umbrella
with the corner newsdealer. When
she came back at G o'clock it was
raining. Coys with umbrellas to rent
darted toward her wheu she appeared
at the bead of the subway stairs. She
paid one boy 10 cents to escort her
home. Then she remembered her own
umbrella. Sheltered by a borrowed
umbrella, she went back to get It The
newsdealer looked uneasy.
'Just a minute." he said. "Oh, Tom,
come here!"
A small boy dodged around the cor
ner of the stand and banded over a
dripping umbrella. The absentminded
woman looked at the boy; she looked
at the umbrella. She recognized both.
"Idiot!" she said. "1 paid that boy
10 cents for taking me home with my
own umbrella." New York Press.
The Amen of Nature.
Do you ever wonder why jioets talk
so much about flowers? Did you ever
hear of a poet w ho did not talk about
them? Don't you think a poem which,
for the sake of being original, should
leave them out would be like those
verses where the letter a or e or some
other Is omitted? No; they will bloom
over and over again In poems as in
the summer fields, to the end of time,
always old and always new. Why
should we be more shy of repeating
ourselves than the spring be tired of
blossoms or the night of stars? Look
at nature. She never wearies of say
ing over her floral paternoster. In the
crevices of cyclopean walls, in the dust
where men He, dust also; on the
mounds that bury huge cities, the Blrs
Nemroud and the Babel heap, still that
same sweet prayer aud benediction.
The amen of nature is always a flow

The Multitudes Fed. Matt, xiv:
13-21, xv:29-39.
Golden Text. Jesus said unto them
I am the bread of life. John vi:35.
Verse 13. Why had Jesus retired
into the desert place?
Why are occasions of retirement
or solitude, good for the soul?
What does the voice of history say,
in answer to the question, whether
a man with a message from God, is
always sought after by the multitude?
Verse 14. WThat is the master pas
sion of a great and good man?
Would Jesus have had the same
compassion on this multitude, if he
had only been a good man, and not
Divine? Why?
Verse 15. Were these disciples too
officious, or did they do perfectly
right to remind Jesus of his apparent
duty, and why?
What is the use of reminding God
our kind Father, of what he already
knows we need?
Verse 16. How much virtue is
there in asking God to do, for our
fellows, what we have the power to
do for them?
If you can, give some examples of
God doing for us, or others, what we
have the power to do for ourselves?
Verses 17-18. Name your reasons
for, or against, the belief that if we
use the power we have or may ac
quire we shall never lack the ability,
nor the opportunity, of doing all God
wishes us to do.
What is the benefit to be derived
from bringing all our property and all
our powers and laying them at the feet
of Jesus?
Verse 19. In what order did Jesus
See?
have the multitude sitdon't
Mark vi: 39-40.
What are some of the evidences
iL.i r.i .1 it: :.i a
mm ajuu uues iiuiniug wiuiom exact
system, and perfect order, and.hat we
should follow the pattern he thus sets?
What is the benefit ofasking a
blessing on our food when we eat?
Is it, or not, the duty of a Chiistian
when eating, at a hotel, for example,
to give thanks to God so that those
sitting with him can observe the act?
Verse 20. When God feeds a man,
either with spiritual or physical food,
what is the effect upon the man?
Verse 21. If we heard both stories
forthe first time of feeding five thou
sand men beside women and children
on five loaves and two fishes, and of
getting ten thousand feet of lumber
from a little acorn, which would ap
pear the more wonderful event and
why?
Chap. xv:29-31. Has Jesus today
lost any of his compassion for the sick
and suffering and if not, how do you
account for the fact that he does not
miraculously cure them of their ail
ments as in that day?
What would be the probable
effect upon the progress and
well-being of the world. If God
were to make permanent the
method of miracles? (This ques
tion must be answered In writ
ing by members of the club.
Verses 32 39. Why did Jesus feed
this multitude miraculously? What
was its effect then, and what has it
been since?
How does God, in these days,
as effectually feed the people as he
did in that day through this miracle?
