The Record Is Different
Tho Imperial Republican in writing
up tho record of Robert C Orr as dist
rict judge of this district states One of
the most noticeable features of his
regimo as judge is the very few cases de
cided by him which havo been appealed
to higher courts and the very few cases
that have been reversed Wo under
stand the record to be otherwise and
that a largo percent of tho cases that
havo been tried before him that are of
sufficient importance go to tho Bupreme
court Of those acted upon up to date
39 cases in total one was modified
by the supromo court twenty eight have
been reversed and only ten affirmed
Rather noticeable feature
And then again the effort to make it
appear that Judge Orr is the peoples
candidate seems to be without adeqato
foundation It is well known that the
judgo was tho local Hayes county at
torney for the Burlington when appoint
ed to succeed Judge Norris And that
during all tho time he has been on the
bench from date of appointment to
January 1907 ho has accepted and used
free transportation from the railway
company The fact that he was once a
Burlington attorney is not a discredit
able item but that he used free trans
portation after his appointment and
after bis election and until the laws of
the state prohibited the same does not
entitle him to be regarded as the peo
ples candidate or that tho railroad
company has anything to fear from him
on the bench Then the further fact
that C A Ready of Hayes county and
J F Fults of Furnas county another
Burlington attorney are most active in
his behalf indicate that ho is at any
rate quite satisfactory to the railroad
people
The Cause of Snoring
Tk3 is not for you because yon
never snore No one ever does snore
himself It is always the other fellow
But you can read this and then tell
that guilty other fellow how to break
himself of his bad habit for snoring
is merely a bad habit and as such
can be oVercome It is caused prl
marlly by Improper breathing that Is
breathing through the mouth instead
of through the nostrils so first of all
care should be taken during waking
hours to breathe correctly The habil
once formed of keeping the mouth as
firmly closed as possible ho will be
less likely to sleep with it open TheD
Bee that your troublesome snorer has
a proper pillow He should sleep with
his head as flat as possible for if his
head is pushed forward and the neca
bent the tongue drops back agalnsl
the soft palate and forms an obstruc
tion which makes all the unmusical
sounds we hear when the air is forced
past it St James Gazette
Tho Last Match Saved Them
The Bhip had lain becalmed Inatrop
Ical sea for three days Not a breath
of air stirred the mirrorlike surface ol
the sea or the limp sails that hung
from the yards like drapery carved in
Btone The captain resolved to wall
no longer He piped up all hands on
deck and requested the passengers to
also come forward
I must ask all of you he said to
give me every match that you have
Wonderingly the passengers and crew
obeyed The captain carefully arranged
the matches in his hands as each man
handed him his store until all had
been collected Then he threw them
all overboard but one drew a clgai
from his pocket and striking the soli
tary match on the mainmast endeav
ored to light it In an instant a furi
ous gale swept over the deck extin
guished the match and filled the sails
and the good ship Mary Ann sped
through the waves on her course
Pearsons Weekly
The Cods Bill of Fare
An Interesting exhibit in the South
Kensington museum London illus
trates the omnivorous nature of the
cods diet Among the fish falling n
prey to Its voracious maws we note
the young of the herring dab whiting
and sand eel Shrimps and young lob
sters also form an important item In
the cods menu The strangest part ol
the cods diet perhaps is the sea mouse
whose thick covering of bristles might
be thought to render it unwelcome to
any stomach Large whelks and shells
of whelks with their indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely devoured From
Its partiality to mollusks in fact the
cod may become an assistant to the
shell collector Woodward in his Man

some good northern seashells have
been rescued unbroken from the stom

Growing Flowers In Winter
A long run of dark days in winter Is
bad for the florists It matters little
how cold the weather is provided
there is sunshine for the heat can al
ways be maintained to the proper
point nnd with sunshine flowers will
bloom just as freely when the ther
mometer shows an outdoor tempera
ture of zero as at the freezing point
though of course more money must be
spent for coal But when day after
day for weeks at a time clouds over
hang the sky nothing will grow as it
should The carnation buds develop
slowly until they are half open and
wait for sunshine and if it does not
come in four or Ave days the blooms
decay So also it is with callas and
roses They will open halfway then
without sunlight will quickly spoil

Story of a Greek Saint

as a high feast was kept up on his day
and the people who frequented the
feast were colled Blazers so the saying

ULTIMATE FATE OF FISH
They Never Die a Natural Death Says
an Observant Fisherman
Fish never die a natural death
said an old fisherman who has ob
served as he fished If they did
bodies of dead fish would be floating
on the surface of the water about all
the while because such bodies If un
molested would have to float
I mean of course fish in nature
never die a natural death not fish in
captivity And perhaps it should not
be called natural death that fish in
captivity die Their environment in
duces mortality that fish in their na
tive habitat would escape and these
causes might be properly classed as
among the accidents that carry the
captive fish off
If fish in their native element were
never molested I believe they would
never die If they had sufficient food
which would be impossible if they no
longer preyed on one another there
would be no reason for their dying
It was to prevent such uninterrupted
tenure of life that all fish were made
fiercely predatory if not remorselessly
cannibalistic as many kinds are
A fishs life is a constantly stren
uous one and one entirely selfish A
fish lives only to eat and to avoid be
ing eaten New York Sun
