The Tribune
When the butter wont
come put a penny in the
churn is an old time dairy
proverb It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scotts Emul
sion
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it
Scotts Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scotts Emulsion
is the mosc satisfactory treat
ment
We will send yoa
the penny c a
sample free
Be sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
One of the most romantic tales of west
ern enterprise is the story of Astoria
In the early part of the nineteenth cen
tury the fur trade was an important
branch of commorce The broad prair
ies and vast wilderness of the west and
the northwest swarmed with all manner
of fur bearing animals and large part of
the rather meagre population of these
regions was engaged in hunting and
trapping That part of our country ly
ing west of the Mississippi river was an
unknown land and almost unclaimed
Especially was this true of that part of
the Pacific coast now included within
the states of Oregon and Washington
John Jacob Astor a resident of New
York City conceived the idea of estab
lishing a chain of trading posts across
this country for the purpose of carrying
on a trade in furs The Northwest Pur
Company had a monopoly of the fur
trade in Canada The boundary be
tween the British and American posses
sions was not marked and the agents of
the Canadian company did not scruple
to comr nor was there anything to pre
vent their coming into American terri
tory to carry on their traffic The Mis
souri Fur Company an American or
ganization covered the country as far as
the Rocky mountains but west of the
mountains Americans had not gone
though agents of the Northwest com
pany occasionally went into the trans
mountain country
With the object then of setting on
foot an enterprise of a similar character
Mr Astor in the year 1810 sent out two
expeditions One went by sea around
Cape Horn and finally after an event
ful voyage landed at the mouth of the
Columbia river where a town was foun
ded which was named in honor of its
sponsor Astoria The other expedition
went over land or rather by the interior
water ways so far as that was possible
The pioneers of a century ago realized
far more keenly than we can that the
lakes and streams were the natural high
ways to the interior of the continent
The leader of the land forces was Wilson
Prince Hunt St Louis was then the
western out post of civilization in the
United States To reach that place Mr
Hunt voyaged through the great lakes
Green Bay the Fox and Wisconsin
rivers and making a short portage to
the Mississippifloated down that stream
to its confluence with the Missouri
Arriving at St Louis in the fall of 1810
he finally set out in the early spring of
the following year with a large party of
frontiersmen trappers and Canadian
half breeds in four boats fitted with
sails and mounted with swivel guns
The party made their way by slow de
grees up the Missouri river They
reached the mouth of the Platte or Ne
braska river in the latter part of April
For several weeks they drifted along
camping at night on the banks of the
stream by day encountering the Indian
tribes dwelling in what is now eastern
Nebraska the Omahas the Ottoes the
Poncas the Pawnees
The story of this venture is graphical
ly told in Irvings Astoria The entire
book is interesting The chapters that
tell of the partys adventures as they
skirted the borders of our state are par
ticularly so They form a bit of our
earliest history Our chronicles are all
too slender at best The record of ev
ery incident of the old days should be
familiar to us all Irving was a lover of
the west and of things western and
this story is told with all the charm for
which that greatest of early American
authors was so justly famed

Our Sugar Crisis
The Nebraska sugar beot is passing
through a crisis For two years the crop
has failed to make a satisfactory profit
and the growers are looking askance at
their beot fields and thinking of wheat
and corn and alfalfa Meetings of grow
ers are being hold where beot culture is
an important industry and negotiations
with the factories and with the labor
forces that are depended upon to care
for the crop have been in progress to de
termine whether methods might not be
adopted that would make the growing of
beets less of a risk The factories have
as much at stake as the farmers for
they cannot operate without beets They
have shown a willingness to make con
cessions in the way of increased prices
and fairer weighing regulations and if
desirable arrangements for help can be
made a fair trial will be made again next
vniip Tf nnnfriAr fniliirn Kfinnlrl rpmilfc
the business will sulFer a setback that
will require a long time to overcome
It would be a telling loss to the state
to have to give up sugar making and all
true patriots will hope for a big crop of
beets this year with 20 per cent of sugar
in it Sugar beet culture will bo the
making of whole townships of Nebraska
land if it can be kept on a paying basis
The cultivation of the crop has barely
begun There is material for air castles
innumerable in tho possibilities in sugar
beets in Nebraska and many of these
dreams can be made to come true
Plans that are now under consideration
for the development of tho valley of the
North Platte undt r irrigation if carried
out will open up enough sugar beet
bind to supply the whole state with
sugar and that is no small undertaking
There is more than a hundred miles of
North Platte valley subject to irrigation
that will produce sugar beets and when
the whole region is placed under a ditch
with reservoirs enough to hold a sum
mers supply of water and a railroad
built down the valley from Bridgeport to
North Platte a country large and rich
enough for a medium sized empire will
be opened to cultivation North Platte
is already arranging for a factory under
an offer of So a ton flat for beets 50 cents
a ton better than any factory has here
tofore offered Lincoln Journal

Tuufrjtt by n Chinaman
That wo have partially adopted the
Chinese method in our written lan
guage was a new thought to me and
one that I got from the proprietos of a
Park avenue laundry when in the nat
ural Caucasian fashion I referred to
his written language as being very in
ferior
John I said why do your people
use those chicken tracks Instead of
having an alphabet as we have
A B C too much trouble he an
swered quickly Why you use chick
en tracks too sometimes
We dont use them I replied
Yes you use them very good 1
show you Then he dipped his con
venient brush in the Ink and made the
number SO on a sheet of brown pa
per That name of street over there
he continued pointing You say
eighty nine you dont write it with
A B C That Chinee One mark is
one thing you say idea yes idea
You dont put down ind here
his brush came into use again you
put down 9 Thats very good Chinee
We do that all the time
That is ideographic I suggested
Yes English have much ideograph
ic All figures ideographic See And
again he used his brush You make
and and you say minus plus
You dont spell with A B C That is a
mark for idea ideographic You make
M and say thousand That Chinese
way Very good I say How hot
All Chinese

marks and ideas
Fine way English know some fine
Chinese ways See You know

Setting n Murderer Free
Lachaud the great French advocate
was renowned for deliberate but telling
dramatic improvisations as it were
upon the original theme
At one time for instance he was de
fending a murderer on Dec 24 All
day long he harassed witnesses re
calling them causing delay after de
lay before getting his final address to
the jury It was well on in the even
ing before he commenced Then sud
denly at the height of his passionate
appeals for the prisoner the slow sol
emn bells of the cathedral next door
pealed for the midnight mass the first
mass of Christmas morning Lnchaud
stopped as if overwhelmed by a sud
den warning
Do you hear he said solemnly
after a moments silence and his man
ner conveyed that all his own glib i
eloquence had been shattered by the
divine interruption of Christ himself
The Redeemer comos to amend our
pitiable endeavors Which of us would
dare now on this great day of mercy
and forgiveness to condemn another
human being and above all to con
demn one whose culpability is more
than doubtful
The prisoner was acquitted without
the least difficulty though his death
sentence ten minutes before had been
regarded as certain The actual sound
of the pealing bells had been too much
for nerves already strained to snap
ping point by the fatigue of a long
days sitting
But nobody guessed except the few
who knew Lnchaud intimately that
he had been maneuvering from the
time the court opened in the morning
to get that one stirring effect The
prisoner was a dead man without
and saved as certainly if it could be
brought off successfully Kansas City
