for Nearly Forty Years
While The State Journal has been one
of the leading papers of the state for
nearly forty years yet its most rapid
growth has been recently during which
time it has come to be recognized by
many as Nebraskas greatest paper mak
iug most of those things that interest
Nebraskans most in this way creating a
place for itself in the daily life of thous
ands of Nebraska homea The country
press generally could be quoted as raying
that the editorial page of The Journal
is exceptionally strong and fearlessly in
dependent It is also unusually bright
Bixby himself being a gem No writer
in Nebraska ever had the warm admirat
ion of so many people as Bixby His col
umn in The Journal is alone worth the
price of the paper His wholesome phil
osophy will put sunshine and cheer into
rhe most chronic grouch The state uni
versity the other public institutions at
Iiucoln make The Journal peculiarly a
paper for state people It is clean ex
cluding all liquor and impure medical
advertising Its sporting department is
clever and there with the goods More
money is spent for state telegraphic news
than by other state dailies If you want
to know what is happening in Nebraska
as well as the whole world The Lincoln
Journal is the paper for you Why not
give it this trial subscription

Pen Sketches
Of H H Rogers
I
A
Some of tlio Great Oil Mans Peculiarities
His Kindly Heart and His Gapacity
For Satire and Vindictiveness
A Remarkable Man
T
TIE late Ilenry II Rogers vice
president of the Standard Oil
company has been described
as genial approachable talk
ative and altogether attractive then
sarcastic bitter and jeering cordial In
one breath chilly the next kindly ami
almost lovable then cold and harsh
Ills expression could transform Itself
while he blinked his eyes Ills voice
could travel through the scale of vin
dictiveness Indifference politeness af
fability and friendliness in a single
Instant
Ono of the Intimates of Mr Rogers
was Mark Twain who in private life
Is Samuel L Clemens When the fa
mous humorist became a bankrupt
through the failure of the publishing
firm with which he was identified the
oil man took charge of his shattered
fortunes and restored him to a position
of Independence He never seemed
happier than when in Mr Clemens so
cietv and often took him with him on
yachting cruises The great writer
heard of Mr Rogers death on his way
to New York where he had expected
to meet his friend and enjoy the day
with him lie exclaimed
This Is terrible terrible I cant
talk about it I am inexpressibly
shocked and grieved
Mr Rogers activities in connection
with the Virginia railway commonly
known as Rogers tidewater road
had been held responsible for much of
his ill health in recent years Prac
tically alone he had carried through
this project his last great industrial
venture There have been many re
ports that he lost millions in tbe en
terprise
It was said by his associates that he
had done little or no speculating in
Wall street since 10CG and that all his
energy beyond what was required in
the overseership of the Standard Oil
company had been concentrated on
the tidewater roads completion Re
ferring to the present status of his for
tune a man in a position to know the
facts said that Mr Rogers held at the
time of his death about 20000 shares
of Standard Oil stock worth 1 1000-

H H HOGERS AND HOW HE SlARTED IN
lJUSINESS
000 The estimates of his losses in
late years ran as high as 30000000
When the new road was opened form
ally in April the city of Norfolk ex
erted itself to honor the builder Mr
Rogers took a party to Norfolk for the
opening lie appeared stronger than
for many months and in great spirits
over the railway achievement At a
dinner in his honor he heard Mark
Twain praise him as a benefactor The
author told how the oil man helped
Miss Helen Keller paying for her
education for a quarter of a century
It is related of Mr Rogers experi
ence as a member of the firm of
Charles Pratt Co that the men in
the different Pratt factories came to
know his humors by the twist of his
mustache
Both ends up they used to say in
advising each other that he was in a
mood to make trouble for somebody
One end up meant a fairly even
temper
Both ends down signified that the
day would pass pleasantly for the em
ployees
The story of how Mr Rogers gave
his home town of Falrhaven Mass
its sewer system is identical with the
story of how he gave away one of his
daughters in marriage Having made
up his mind that if the town could
not afford the piping of its sewage into
the hay he Avould himself meet the
expense Mr Rogers determined that
lie would choose the very best cewago
system obtainable He decided on a
kind of sewer built by an English
company whose representative was
Urban n Broughton He accordingly
invited Mr Broughton to Fairhaven
and made him a guest at his home
while the two inspected the town to
determine where the pipes should be
laid At the Rogers home Mr Brough
ton met the financiers daughter Cara
and as the trenches deepened bis love
tor the heiress also grew deeper with
the result that the engagement was an
nounced Tjefore the sewers were fin
ished

Ono of Edisons Jokes
Edison was always a great Jokcplny
ti Those ones he seemed to enjoy
most were like the one lie worked on
one of the laziest operators In the of
Dce where he was once employed One
night when this fellow thought his
days work was over and was getting
ready to go home Edison slipped
around to the ollice switchboard made
a connection with the lazy fellows
telegraph key called him down to the
table and supplied with an old news
paper proceeded to send Mr Lazy n
long lot of presumably Associated
Press stuff from New York Edison
was a lightning sender as well as re
ceiver from almost the beginning of
his career and the way he made that
fellow work for two solid hours was a
joy After wearing him completely
out making hiin receive and copy the
equivalent of about three or four
newspaper columns Edison suddenly
came from behind the switchboard ex 1
posed the joke to the poor fellow and
wound up by pelting him on the nose
with the newspaper he had been send
ing from Pearsons
Scolded and Comforted
At a lunch given in his honor Sven
IJcdin read an amusing letter written
to him by Alfred Nobel at a time
when Iledin was still a student but al
ready filled with a longing to explore
unknown Asia lie applied to the gov
ernment for funds but the answer
was so slow in coming that he wrote
to Nobel who promptly replied I
take no interest in these geographical
exploration trips In fact I regard
them as an anachronism Men com
municate with each other today from
one end of the earth to the other by
means of telegraph and post There
are in Asia too explorers and savants
who are surely better qualified than
you sir to study and describe their
native country I therefore believe
that you could make better use of
your ambitious impulses than by un
dertaking trips to Asia But In order
that you may see that I do not always
act as I think I send you a sum which
may serve as the best confutation of
my own convictions
Squandering Ability
Doing the lower when the higher is
possible constitutes one of the great
est tragedies of human life The
squandering of money seems a wicked
thing when we think of the good that
might be done with it But what
about the wicked waste of ability the
deliberate throwing away of 50 75
perhaps CO per cent of ones success
possibly just because he never trained
himself to use it to grasp it with such
vigor and power that he can fling his
life into his career with its maximum
effectiveness Most people take hold
of life with the tips of their fingers
They never get hold of the life propo
sition with that grip and tenacity of
purpose and vigor of determination
which do things worth while They
just hang on the outskirts of things
playing upon the surface of their pos
sibilities without ever getting down
into the marrow of their being where
efficiency and power dwell Orison
Swett Marden in Success Magazine
Exclusive Perfumes
The late Dr Andrew Wynter in a
charming article on perfumes suggest
ed the desirability of every lady hav
ing her own special and self prepared
perfume The custom however would
have its disadvantages More than one
sensational story might be mentioned
wherein the heroine or villain was
saved or unmasked as the case might
be by the recognition of a distinctive
scent In Diplomacy the denoue
ment is effected by the telltale per
fume of the adventuress being detect
ed in the dispatch box she had rilled
As a matter of history the assassins
of the oriental sovereign Yezdijird
were discovered by one of them smell
ing of the perfume with which the
robes of tho murdered king had been
redolent London Globe
Hope
nave you seen the account in this
mornings papers about Dr Cutting
having brought a dead man back to
life
No Did he do that
Yes It was a wonderful demon
stration of his skill
Well I shall be more hopeful now
than I have been for some time If he
can bring the dead back to life he may
be able to bring back the book he bor
rowed from me about two years ago

MILITARY SYSTEM
The Way Germany Handles Her Re
serves In Case of War
Nobody who has visited Germany
can fall to have been struck by the
large official signboards at the entry
to each town or village These con
tain full information as to exactly
which official In the community to ap
ply to should the magic word mobi
lize be spoken
Wherever the German reservist may
chance to be when the order to mobi
lize Is given assuming of course
that he is not out of the country lie
has only got to ask the first inhabitant
or walk to the end of the village and
look at the directions on the signboard
to find out his own particular place in
the military scheme lie will see that
he must go to nerr Schmidt at 40
Schutzen street nerr Schmidt will
tell him exactly in which town he lias
to go in oilier to rejoin Ills own unit
and what is still more Important will
give him the money and the railway
pass to take him there
Arrived at his destination he will
find his uniform anus and accouter
ments piled neatly In a heap with a
label bearing his name and regimental
number on the top of the heap ne
has only to put It on and take his
place among the comrades with whom
he did his military service some years
ago
This destination was arranged upon
many years back and the exact time
schedule for marching and railway
journeys was compiled long since

THE BASQUES
An Interesting People Who Are a Puz
zle Among Nations
The Basque provinces lie in the
north of Spain and although for cen
turies students have tried to trace the
real origin of the people and find a key
to their language they have failed to
do so
All other known tongues spoken by
the sons of men have been shown to
possess a common origin traceable to
the Arabic and Semitic But the
Basque language has entirely resisted
the philologist In some aspects the
vernacular shows traces of a Chinese
admixture In others it is clear that
North Ameri an Indian terms are 11a
tive to it It also shows traces of
barbaric languages spoken on the east
coast of Africa
The people themselves bear physl
olocical traits found In those who
speak the said tongues The native
name of Basqueland is Eskuara and
their motto is Irurachat or Three
In One Nor Is their political struc
ture anything like that of any known
political body though they belong of
course to Spain Each Basque prov
ince is governed by a parliament com
posed of representatives selected
partly by election partly by lot
among the householders of each coun
try parish or town Their laws are es
sentially peculiar to themselves and
are conceived on 110 known code either
of ancient or mediaeval times They
are a puzzle among nations and num

Paper Which Is Waterproof
In Japan there is a paper made which
is impervious to water being made of
bamboo tibers and eucalyptus mixed
with the fibers of the gamin and some
other shrubs The libers are first torn
apart made dry cleaned and scraped
boiled in a weak lye and thoroughly
washed in water after which they are
beaten and then mixed with certain
roots made into a viscous state A
solution containing rosin caoutchouc
and camphor is also added A sort ol
pulp is thus formed and then made
into sheets which are run through a
calendering macume dented to various
temperatures The result is that a
paper is produced which is exceedingly
tonglj light and which may be washed
The Japanese use it for leather imita
tions and India rubber Pathfinder
Northern Australia
Australias huge northern territory
has a tropical almost an equatorial
climate and the heat is very enervat
ing to Europeans Its capital Pal
merston contains more Chinese than
Caucasians The former are the nil
ing race and the employers the white
are the servile and the employed
Large herds of buffaloes roam about
the silent plains of this enormous ter
ritory which would be a sportsmans
paradise but for the wild natives who
are exceptionally fierce and trencher
ous and have killed a number of the
hunters who came to hunt the buffa
loes
His Marathon Record
Colonel asked the beautiful girl
did yon ever ride a horse ninety miles
in three days
No replied the veteran of two
wars but I once ran twenty miles in
about thirty minutes which I think
was going some considering the fact
that the underbrush was thick and 1
was in so much of a hurry that I for
got to throw away a knapsack that
weighed nearly fifty pounds Chicago
