His Tirn to Be Annoyed
President MeCrea of the Pennsyl
vauia railroad said apropos of a false
charge against a financial institution
This charge was more than refuted
TIic institution came out with flying
colors It reminds me of an incident
that happened when I was a rodman
In my youth Working on the Con
neHsvllIe line I took a number of
meals with a middle aged farmer and
his wife One day at dinner I noticed
that the farmers wife seemed rather
ont of sorts and after dinner I wasnt
surprised to hear her say
Josiah Simmons to think that you
fcare forgotten that this is the anni
versary of our wedding
Old Josh Hushed guiltily looking up
from his paper with a start Then he
said in a surprised voice
Why mother you must be mistaken
We- were married on the Sth
The wife bit her lip
Oh excuse me she said I was
thinking of my first marriage anniver
sary

Tho Widows Objected
The editor of a little western paper
was in the habit of cheering up his
subscribers daily with a column of
short pertinent comments on their
town their habits and themselves The
department on account of Its intimate
personal flavor was the most popular
thing in the paper
On a hot day when a simoom whis
tled gayly up the streets of the town
depositing everywhere its burden of
sand the editor brought forth this
gem of thought
All the windows along Main street
need washing badly
The next morning he was waited on
by a platoon of indignant citizens who
confronted him with the paragraph in
question fresh from the hands of the
compositor and informed him fiercely
that he had gone too far After a
hasty and horrified glance he admitted
that he had
It now read
All the widows along Main street
need washing badly Everybodys
A Hill ov a Nise
Isaac N Dolph who saw service in

Sigsbee relates a story as told by a
son of Erin who was on the battleship
Maine when it was blown up The
Irishman was requested to relate his
thrilling experience at the time of the
explosion in Havana harbor He was
before an audience and advancing to
the front pf the stage he bowed low
and in a faltering voice said
Frinds it were thus way I were

Due For a Cussing
General Wheelers body was brought
to Washington draped in the Con
federate flag as well as the stars and
stripes under both of which he had
served While the body lay in state
an old Confederate soldier who had
fought under General Wheeler in Gen
eral Earlys division heard of the Con
federate flag and desired to see his
dear old leader in the light of long ago
But on reaching Washington the stars
and bars had been removed by order
of the president The veteran looked
at the body clad in the blue uniform
and solemnly shaking his head mut
tered
Waal by gee genul when you git

An Irishman stood in front of an
electric fan whicli was going at full
speed with no end of a buzz After a
minute or two he scratched his head
and said Bedad I wadnt want to be

At the Station
A J Cassatt the late president of
the Pennsylvania lailroad once told
the following railroad story
A western broker moved from the
city into the country He moved far
out and since the railroad was small
and the train service poor he traveled
to and from town by carriage or auto
mobile exclusively
Deciding after a time to keep chick
ens he ordered a patent chicken coop
and on the day it was expected set
out in a dray to fetch it home from
the freight office
Ho reached the railroad station
which ho had never seen before after
an hours drive No one was in sight
but there was his chicken coop and
with his mans help he soon had It on
the dray and set off homeward again
A hundred yards or so down the
road he met a chap in a blue uniform
with the title of station master in
gold letters on his blue cap
Hey there exclaimed this chap
excitedly What the dickens have
you got on that dray
My new chicken coop the broker
calmly answered
Chicken coop be hanged shouted
the station master Thats Mudby

Reason for It
Wouldnt any woman be happy

No reason why any McCook reader
Should suffer in the face of evidence
like this
Mrs W B Craven living in the
northwestern part of McCook Neb
says I contracted a severe cold last
spring which settled in my kidneys and
and caused me to suffer severely The
secretions from my kidneys were un
natural in color contained a heavy
sediment and the passages were always
accompanied by a scalding sensation
I had sharp throbbing pains in my
head and had but little energy to do
my housework and became very week
and run down At this time my at
