Tiik Nebraska Press Association will
hold its annual meeting in Kearney this
year The sessions will open on Tues
day afternoon February 21st and close
Wednesdy evening
Occasionally there is an indication to
tho people that there is a God in
Israel The recant decision of the
United States supreme court in the beef
trust matter is encouraging and gives a
more hopeful hue to the feeling that in
due time perhaps some relief may be
expected from the federal government in
the line of transportation matters tariff
etc Justice Holmes of the court of Inst
resort summarizes tho bill ii the follow
ing language
It charges a combination of a domi
nant proportion of tho dealers in fresh
meat throughout the United States not
to bid against each other in the live stock
markets of tho different states to bid up
prices for a few days in order to induce
the cattlemen to send their stock to the
stock yards to fix prices at which they
will sell and to that end to restrict ship
ments of meat when necessary to es
tablish a uniform rule of credit to dealers
and to keep a blacklist to make uniform
and improper charges for cartage and
finally to get less than lawful rates from
the railroads to the exclusion of compet
itors
Speaking further upon the question of
interference with interstate commerce
Justice Ilolmes said that a charge was
made of a combination of independent
dealers to restrict the competition of the
agents who purchase stock for them in
the stock yards The purchasers and
their slaughtering establishments are
he said largely in different states from
those of the stock yards and the sellers
of the cattle peihaps it is not too much
to assume largely in different states
from either The intent of the combi
nation is not merely to restrict competi
tion among the parties but as we have
said by force of the general allegation at
the end of the bill to aid in an attempt
to monopolize commerce among states
He said When cattle are sent for sale
from a place in one state with the expec
tation tha they will end their transit
after purchase in another and when in
effect they do so with the only interrup
tion necessary to find a purchaser at the
stock yards and when this is a typical
constantly recurring course -the current
thus existing is a current of commerce
among the states and the purchase of
the cattle is a part and incident of such
commerce

Ives To Get a Promotion
Advices from Chicago state that D O
Ives general freight agent of the Bur
lington lines west of the Missouri river
has been appointed general freight agent
of the lines east of the river
Mr Ives has been with the Burlington
for many years and freight officials have
believed that he would go to Chicago to
succeed George E Crosby who takes
the position of freight traffic manager
made vacant by the death of Thomas
Miller
Allen B Smith first assistant general
freight agent of the Burlington at Omaha
is regarded as the logical successor to
Mr Ives should the latter go to Chicago

MISTAKES OFBIRDS
Ther Are the Remit of Contact With
Civilization
Probably in a state of wild nature
birds never make mistakes but whero
they come In contact with our civiliza
tion and are confronted by new condi
tions they very naturally make mis
takes For instance their cunning in
nest building sometimes deserts them
The art of the bird is to conceal its
nest both as to position and as to ma
terial but now and then it Is betrayed
into weaving into its structure showy
and bizarre bits of this or that which
give its secret away and which seem
to violate all the traditions of its kind
I have the picture of a robins nest be
fore me upon the outside of which are
stuck a small muslin flower a leaf
from a small calendar and a photo
graph of a local celebrity A more
Incongruous use of material in bird
architecture It would be hard to find
I have been told of another robins nest
upon the outside of which the bird had
fastened a wooden label from a near
by flower bed marked Wake Robin
Still another nest I have seea built
upon a large showy foundation of the
paperlike flowers of antennarla or ev
erlasting The wood thrush frequently
weaves a fragment of newspaper or a
white rag into the foundation of its
nest Evil communications corrupt
good manners The newspaper and
the rag bag unsettle the wits of the
birds
The phoebe bird is capable of this
kind of mistake or indiscretion All the
past generations of her tribe have built
upon natural and therefore neutral
sites usually under shelving and over
hanging rocks and the art of adapting
the nest to its surroundings blending
it with them has been highly devel
oped But phoebe now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches
where so far as concealment is con
cerned a change of material say from
moss to dry grass or shreds of bark
would be an advantage to her But she
departs not a mite from the family tra
ditions she uses the same woody
mosses which in some cases especially
when the nest is placed upon unevenly
sawed timber makes her secret an
open one to all eyes John Burroughs

HIS CLEAR MEMORY
The Witness Proved to the JJaTrye
That He Could Remember
A story is told of an eminent lawyer
receiving a severe reprimand from a
witness whom he was trying to brow
beat It was an important issue and
in order to save his cause from defeat
It was necessary that the lawyer should
Impeach the witness He endeavored
to do It on the ground of age in the
following manner
How old are you asked the law
yer
Seventy two years replied the wit
ness
Your memory of course is not so
brilliant and vivid as it was twenty
years ago is it asked the lawyer
I do not know but it is answered
the witness
State some circumstance which oc
curred say twelve years ago said
the lawyer and we shall be able to
see how well you can remember
I appeal to your honor said the
witness if I am to be interrogated in
this manner It is insolent
You had better answer the ques
tion replied the judge
Yes sir state it said the lawyer
Well sir if you compel me to do it
I will About twelve years ago you
studied in Judge s office did you
not
Yes answered the lawyer
Well sir I remember your father
coming into my office and saying to
me Mr D my son is to be examined
tomorrow and I wish you would lend
me 15 to buy him a suit of clothes
I remember also sir that from that
day to this he has never paid me that
sum That sir I remember as though
it were yesterday Philadelphia Ledg

An Amplified Woman
The car was entirely empty with the
exception of one man said Miss Myra
Kelly He was the reverse of the
car As I entered he rose made me an
unsteady but magnificent bow and said
Madam pleashe be kind nough to
asshept thish plashe There was
nothing else for me to do so I thanked
him and sat down
And for twenty blocks that idiot
hung from a strap swaying in the
breeze with not a soul in the car but
ourselves Occasionally I have been
taken for other women but I never
before had any one think that I was a
earful
Artificial Snoiv
A curious instance of the formation
of artificial snow was witnessed on one
occasion in the town of Agen in
France A fire broke out in a sawmill
when the temperature was 10 de
grees below freezing point The water
thrown upon the fire was instantly
vaporized and rising in the cold dry
air was immediately condensed and fell
as snow With bright starlight and a
strong northwest wind blowing the
whirling snow above and the raging
fire below a brilliant spectacle was pre
sented

NURSERY IN TIBET
In the Forest
of ThlM ObMcitre Country
Our first meeting with the Sifaus pre
sented many ludicrous features We
were plunging through the gloom of the
forest when our ears were assailed
with a concourse of yells which echoed
through the supernatural silence with
ghostly weirdness In this forbidding
wilderness we had not looked for signs
of human habitation so hastily arrang
ing ourselves in position we prepared
ourselves for what seemed an inevita
ble hostile attack Long and anxiously
we awaited the onslaught of our sup
posed hidden assailants when again
the peace disturbing sound echoed al
most it seemed over our very heads
Glancing upward the mystery was
soon explained for in the lower branch
es of the tree weXOiiId descry numerous
small bundles each too large for an
eyrie and too small for a windfall
Both my Klangsl and Gharlkauese
escort with their superstitious natures
roused by these ghostlike sounds visi
bly paled beneath their dusky skins and
gazed furtively round in order to seek
means of escape from this enchanted
spot Even I was not little puzzled and
nwed until peeringmore closely I be
came aware of the fact that the dis
turbing elements which had caused us
so much concern arose from the fpet
that we had unwittingly stumbled upon
an aboriginal nursery and that the
weird and ghostlike sounds emanated
from several hungry and lusty lunged
infants Then the solemn stillness was
broken by our hearty laughter the Si
fans and Gharlkauese as if to make
amends for their credulous fears mak
ing the woods ring with their forced
guffaws The Sifan Tibetans as we
subsequently learned place their chil
dren In skin cradles and hang these
from the trees in tho forests the first
from a belief that they will be Instruct
ed by the deities the second that their
full existence may not be endangered
by the abominable filth and squalor of
the settled regions Several times in
the day they are visited by their moth
ers who provide them with food and
remain with them during the night and
in the forest home the child remains
until it is two or three years old and
has grown strong and healthy enough
to stand the rigors of hardship and dis
ease W C Jameson Reid in Colliers

High and gravelly soil Is the best for
fruit trees
Mildew Is the worst enemy of the
gooseberry Pruning is the best rem
edy
Rosin and tallow in equal parts is
an excellent covering for wounds in
fruit and other trees
To cultivate among trees use a whif
fletree as short as the horse can walk
with Turn the hooks in
The weeds must be kept down around
the small fruit trees and vines If the
fruit is to mature and ripen rightly
Look over the orchard occasionally
to see that no suckers are growing from
the roots of the trees to sap the strength
from the main tree
Plants in windows should be turned
once or twice a week A fine form
which is half the beauty of a plant
cannot be attained without this
Wood ashes not only help to keep
borers from the roots of trees but the
trees make a healthier and more vigor

fruit when they are used

together to discuss a charity bazaar

Paintiup Animals Eyes
One of the most difficult things which
the artists and taxidermists of the gov
ernment studio have to do is the paint
ing and preparation of glass eyes for
the mammals birds and reptiles
mounted at that institution for exhibi
tion in the National museum
These eyes are made of glass hol
low within and from the rear so that
the inner surface may be painted any
color desired As no two animals eyes
are alike and as the colors are often
complicated and unusual it requires a
great deal of skill study and practice
before one is competent to undertake
the work
Life Saving Superstition
The superstitious collier 9 often
laughed to scorn but a miner in north
Wales is just now thanking his lucky
6tars that he believes in omens He
was boring under some coal and was
startled by seeing a rat scuttling away
He walked away from the spot and
directly afterward a large fall of coal
occurred just over the place where the
man had been working London Stand
