" 'Tis true 'tis pity ; and pity 'tis
'tis true , " but unless the Journal
Topics Man brightens up , ho
have to forfeit his laurels as the great
est self-encomiast in the state , to the
writer of the Gazette-Journal slop-
over. Our contemporaries in the
Valley ought , as a matter of self-
preservation , to withhold their "meed
of praise" until the Gr.-J. regains its
wonted composure. "Modesty is to
merit as shades to figures in a picture ;
giving it strength and beauty. "
"No , " said a fond mother , speaking
proudly of her 25-year-old daughter ,
"Mary isn't old enough to marry yet.
She cries whenever anyone scolds
her , and until she becomes hardened
enough to talk back vigorously , she
isn't fit for a wife. ' '
SAKAII BERNHARDT has just cowhided -
hided Mile. Marie Columbie , who had
written a biography of the great ac
tress which did not please her. Sarah
is to some extent right. A biography
such as hers ought to be post mortem.
CIVILIZATION" is advancing with
powerful strides. Of more value to
the human race than the telephone is
the recent sentencing to hang of a
New York policeman for clubbing an
inoffensive man to death.
FRANKLIN says that "he that takes' '
a wife takes care. " - "Which probably J .
explains in a measure why there are' ,
so many "baches. " They are too |
distressingly eareful already.
'I WAS only footing one of your
late bills , " remarked a fond father to ) j !
his daughter , after kicking her sweet
William out of the front yard.
EAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
ANOTHER terrible accident occur
red at Nebraska City , Saturday after
noon , resulting in the death of anoth
er 01 our citizens , Harvey S. Bundy.
The Nebraska City Press contains
the proceedings of the inquest held
on his body , from which we copy the j j
testimony of the conductor , C. "W. j
Patterson , who said : "The engineer
had run the engine out passed the
switch and was backing in to couple J
on to the freight going west. "Harve1
as he was generally calledhad thrown
the switch and given the signal to
"back up. " "When I was standing on
the depot platform I saw him "jump
upon the brake beam of the tender
to the engine and grab at the chain
that holds the coupling pin. He
missed his hold and fell. T signalled
S-J
the engineer to stop his engine , which
he did , but too late to save "Harve. "
The tender passed entirely over his
.body , and when I reached him he WAS
.dead. " Gazette-Journal.
WORK in the B. & M. shops at
Plattsmouth has increased to such an
extent that the nine hour system has
hid to be abandoned , in all depart
ments except the carpenter and paint
departments. The shops Jiave all been
lighted by electric light and ten full
hours will be put in each day. .
'TnE new invoice of stationery re
ceived at the B. & M. offices here , read
iu the headings B. & M. R. R. in Ne
braska , C. B. & 'Q. R. R. owners.
This is simply a pointer that the name
B. & M. will be dropped in fixture
and the entire Burlington route after
a while be operated under the name

BY OUR ASSISTANT EDITOR.
A HAPPY New Year.
TIIERK is "prohibition lightning all
around the sky" in our sister state.
EX-SENATOR TABOR'S liobby is
§ 250 night shirts. Senator Sabin ,
with his income of § 100,000 a year ,
runs to boots. He has twenty-eight
pairs. Whenever Sabia undertakes
anything it is not a bootless job.
IN a prayer meeting at Westfield ,
Mass. , a brother arose and said : "I
want to hear sung that beautiful
hymn , 'Split Doors. ' " A ripple of
laughter was suppressed by a sister
who struck up "Gates Ajar. " "That's
it ! that's itJ the brother shouted , as
he sat down to enjoy the melody.
THE moon was shining brightly.
He slid over the fence and sneaked
up to her window he sangin a plain
tive voice , to the accompaniament of
the guitar : "The last rose of summer
is fading .away , " and the old man
stuck his head out of the window and
said : "Never mind young man , just
throw your coat over it and I'll take
it in in the morning. "
OSCAR WILDE , the English dude ,
gets off a good thing once in a while.
In a recent lecture on America , he
said : "American romance is different
from ours. It is not the romance of
Shakespeare it 3s the romance of
commerce. * * * The men in
America have very little .childhood ,
They leave school at 14 , have two or
three successful bankruptcies by the
time they are 20 , and at 21 are
millionaires. "
WE see from our exchanges that a
self-acting sofa , just large enough for
two has been invented and is consid
ered as .a great relief to the old folks.
When wound -up it will begin to ring
a warning -bell just before 10 o'clock.
At 10:01 it splits apart and one half
carries the pretty daughter of the
house up stairs to bed , while the other
half kicks the young man out doors
and lets the bull-dog loose. The price
is * laway up yonden , ' ' > but people must
have them.
ONE of Ella Wheekr's "Poems of
Passion" begins : "She touches my
cheek , and I quiver I tremble wit3i
exquisite pain ; she sighs like an
overcharged river , my blood rushes
on through my veins ; she smiles
and in. jaad-.tiger fashion , as a she
tiger fondles her own , I olasp her with
fierceness and jassion , and kiss her
with shudder and groan. " Ella may
call this.a poem of passion , but here
we call it drunk and disorderly.

.GOULD says the reason be
doesn't give ajparty that-.will outshine
old Vanderbilt's ' 'snorter , " as .that
"they-don'.t.keep a giul now , and .that
with the washing and mending ihe
childrens ! clothes Mrs. Gould .has
about all she can do , and there's one
thhig certain while thenvorld thinks
him callous and cold-hearted , he will
.not impose on his wife. " This is &
base subtetinge. We.know Mrs. Rus
sell Sage and Mrs. Cyrus Field would
be only glad to .run in and help Mrs.
Gould out with the baking and dust
ing. It's just'like Gould's-confounfi-
' ed meanness to Bet up an excuse like
that. Topics.
