And Still She Prospers
Red Cloud was once considered a rail
road town Twenty years ago this city
wrs a passenger division on tho main line
of the Burlington from Omaha to Denver
as well as the main line from Kansas
City to Denver with repair shops stock
yards etc Our troubles began when
the cut off from Hastings to Oxford was
built making the Red Cloud Hastings
line a jerk water branch Then the
Rock Island entered tho field for the
Kansas City Denver traffic with a com
peting line in the northern tier of Kansas
counties which tore a big hole in the
Burlingtons business Then camo tho
big Q strike which set us back a few
j ears We thought our troubles were
about over and that the Burlington had
done us all the harm it could without
tearing up its tracks We were mistaken
Jim Hill came through Red Cloud one
day last summer in his gilded special
car and saw a switch engine at work in
the yards What in h 1 do you need
a switch engine at this water tank for
he inquired and without waiting for an
answer peremptorily ordered the engine
taken to McCook and Ih switch crew
disbanded The trainmaster was trans
ferred to McCook and tho round house
force reduced to two men Tho B M
hotel once a flourishing hostelry has
been sold and will be moved away Red
Cloud people would not bo surprised any
day to hear that tho tracks had been or
dered torn up And yet with all this
prodigaki this week he will bo excused j Red Cloud continues to prosper Chief

What arc you doing my lad
Why I read dis land wits worth
800 a foot an I need the money
CJievrins Br- Ittce
A strange way of testing tho inno
cence of an accused person is employed
in India said a Philadelphia mer
chant who lately returned from Mad
ras They haul the man up and give
him a mouthful of dry rice to chew I
dont suppose you ever chewed dry
rice Well it is hard work It takes a
deal of chewing to get it masticated
Into i glutinous mass like gum and
that is the condition that the accused is
required to get it into within ten min
utes If you are calm and not afraid
you succeed but if you are nervous and
scared you fail for it seems that fear
has a strong effect upon the salivary
glands It prevents them from secret
ing saliva The mouth of a badly fright
ened person is always dry as a bone
It requires a tremendous flow of saliva
to chew dry rice and therefore the
scared prisoner inevitably fails in this
test It isnt of course a tent employed
in the courts of the big towns It be
longs to the interior less enlightened
villages
Reptiles That Wallc Erect
Lizards of several sorts can walk
and ran easily on their hind legs The
Australian water lizard which is tlnee
or four feet in length keeps quite erect
when traversing long distances on
land It is found in the neighborhood
of river banks and passes much of its
time in shallow water
The frilled lizard of Queensland also
travels on its hind legs on level ground
keeping the frill folded when running
When attacked it expands this fold of
skin which stands out like a ruff at
right angles round the neck giving it
a most formidable aspect so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay
Thore is also a tree lizard in Austra
lia that moves in a similar way All
these species walk on all fours when
merely moving about or going short
distances
Children Do Lie
Do children lie Yes constantly
persistently and universally says the
Kindergarten Magazine A child does
not toll the truth because he could not
He docs not know the truth and his
approximation to the truth is veiy
much vaguer than ours And there are
certain qualities of his mind which
make It inevitable that he should per
vert the truth In the first place truth
is synonymous with knowledge He
does not know what truth is In the
second place and it is the same with
us children gradually approximate
thb truth They have their ideas of
Urain WiirJi niul Iluir
truth In the third place the childs j
imagination drives him often to tell
what is not true
Everything physical being equal it
is established that the man who is en- 1 1
gaged in professional work will grow
gray sooner than will the man who I s
earns his bread by the literal sweat of
his brow Thus by implication the man
who has more and harder brain work
than another more worries more
troubles more difficult thoughts less jj
vitality in proportion this is the 2
vidua and the profession that soonest
are marked by gtiy hairs 3
