There are people who apparently
see no difference between money
well spent and money criminally and
viciously spent so they get a piece
of the money But there is an in
finite distinction between money
spent in building and furnishing and
maintaining homes in churches
schools books etc and the money
dissipated in booze brothels and
gambling For considerations of
church of state of home moral and
financial for every helpful human
consideration THE TRIBUNE is
lined up against this trinity of con
suming evils
Holdrege went dry this year by
124 majority a gain of from 20 to
45 over last years majority Under
the provisions of the initiative and

ed and their present large majority
is reversed

candidate or two in the field for

ADVICE FOR NERVOUS MAN
Seek Relief In Work Says One Who
Has Found It to Be Successful
Cure
The famous Harvard geologist Na
thaniel Southgate Shaler who died
about four years ago was a man of
singularly wide range and vivacity of
conversation In a single hour says
a correspondent of the New York Na
tion he would discuss topics as di
verse as national politics the seeds of
the fossil Conlferae and the question
whether there might not be some eth
nological considerations bearing on
mathematical studies
Perhaps the moat striking thing
about him after his unexcelled warmth
of heart and capacity for making peo
ple free of his time and thought and
interest was his surprising Industry
On one of the earliest occasions when
I was thrown into contact with him
and obliged to ask for considerable
portions of his time I remember hav
ing asked If he were not overbusy
No he replied I have a good
many things to do and a score of
years ago I had nervous prostration I
went to Germany and tried all klnds
of cures for It but they did no good
so I came home and ever since Ive
been trying to work It off
Asking advice from Shaler was a
very different thing from seeking it
from ordinary sources On one occa
sion apropos of something now quite
forgotten he told the story of his be
ing asked by a graduate of the Harv
ard Divinity school how he might best
fit himself for the work of his chosen
calling The freshly graduated theo
logical student did not feel sure that
he knew as much about men as he did
about divinity
After a moments thought the pro
fessor said in substance
Go to Colorado get down into a
drift and dig for two years with the
miners Possibly youll know more
about men than you do now
The young man did so with the re
sult Chat he came back at the end of
the pentad to thank his adviser for the
good he had derived from his most un
conventional WandeFJahre
SYMPATHY NOT IN ORDER
Most People WW Agree That
erous Woman Got Merely Her
Just Deserts
It seems a pity to attempt to point
out the moral of the following story
for its lesson so much depends on the
experience of the individual reader
A gentleman says a writer In the
Philadelphia Inquirer wished to make
his wife a present of a lace scarf but
had no desire to pay an extravagant
price
I want you to buy a new lace scarf
for Cousin Amelia he said to his
wife Choose something nice some
thing you would get for yourself
The wife however had her own
ideas as to generosity in buying pres
ents and the purchase when she
made it consisted of a very simple
article
Hm said the husband Is that
what you would have chosen for your
self
Exactly she replied
Well my dear keep it I meant it
for you he exclaimed with an amia
ble smile
A Nice Calculation
Two very dear old ladies walked up
to the window where tickets were to
be sold tor two popular concerts They
wanted tickets for both nights but
alas those for the second evening
were all gone This was the more
pouular entertainment of the two
Im so sorry my dear pattered
one of the old ladies to the other We
did want to go didnt we and we want
ed to go both nights
You couldnt give us two tickets for
each night inquired the other of the
clerk
No maam
You havent two seats anywhere for
the second night
No maam Couldnt give you nose
room
A great resolution beamed upon her
gentle face
Then said she firmly give me
four tickets for the first night We
will make them do
Why sister quavered the other
you going to Invite somebody
No said she but if we cant go
both nights She paused bewil
dered quite out of her calculation
Then a happy thought struck her and
she added Well go twice the first
night Youths Companion
Just Exchanged Flats
I heard an entirely new one to me
the other day said a man who hears
all kinds of queer things in his busi
ness I was standing near the tele
phone booths at the Grand Central
when a woman began to talk to a
friend apparently uptown She said
that a friend of hers was coming to
New York in a few days and didnt
want to go to a hotel
I hear you are going to Chicago
she said Well my friend has a nice
flat on the Lake Drive and just like
yours with a good servant Why dont
you two swap You take her flat
while you are in Chicago and let her
take yours And the uptown woman
seemed delighted with the arrange
ment New York Sun
Would Be More Popular
If the ladies tailors will make it the
fashion for a woman to wear dresses
she can put on without the help of her
husband the cook and a monkey
wrench they will be popular with the
fellows who pay the bills Washing

fURNED TABLES ON ROOT
Secretarys Familiar Little Remark
Didnt Seem as Funny as
It Used To
Senator Depew told a little story on
himself and Senator Root in hlB
speech at the dinner In Washington
to Mr Root by the New York Repub
lican congressional delegation
When Root was secretary of state
said Senator Depew I went over to
see him and asked him If he couldnt
do something for me in tho line of
consular appointments He said
Senator Im sorry I would like do
something for New York but and Mr
Root picked up a paper from his
desk I see that New Yorks quota is
now exceeded by 14 per cent
Well continued Senator Depew
I kept going to see Senator Root for
a year Every time I went to see
him he would remind me that New
Yorks quota was exceeded by 14 per
cent Finally I said Mr Secretary
I think youre a great statesman but
your mathematics are inclined to be
automatic
After Mr Knox became secretary
of state Senator Depew said when
the laughter had subsided Senator
Root went up to see him about con
sular appointments Im sorry said
Mr Knox but and he turned to a
document file I find that New Yorks
quota is now exceeded by 14 per
cent
BOYS LOVE OF ADVENTURE
Not the Slightest Reason for Alarm
if He Looks Forward to the Life
of a Pirate
The love of adventure Is an expres
sion of boyhoods abounding vitality
there is always hope for the boy who
looks forward to being a pirate and
carrying the Jolly Roger through tho
seven seas provided that at the same
time his mind is making acquaintance
with other aspects of life which may
finally prove almost as desirable aB
piracy declares a writer in the De
lineator
A childs nonsense is his minds
ptay and safety valve which may be
developed Into a sense of humor that
will help to keep him sane or degen
erate into a mere hHt of foolish and
cruel practical joking His curiosity
may prove a key wherewith to unlock
stores of wisdom or a means of pur
veying base and even vile things to
his mind while his sentiment and we
may be sure that it is present in the
average boys strangely assorted spir
itual baggage may sink to a senti
mentality which shall sap his man
hood or be refined into an attribute
of honor and devotion
Baby Owns All Holland
It is questionable whether there is a
royal child so adored as the little
Princess Juliana of Holland whose
birth set all hearts at rest in that little
kingdom It is painful to think of the
disruption of the state had Wilhelmina
remained childless but now all from
the mother to the humblest subject
are blest indeed The little princess Is
nearly eight months old is and has
been from the first a vigorous and
promising child the queen is said to
exercise the most constant and jealous
oversight of everything that pertains
to her welfare The cutting of the first
tooth of the little princess was known
all over Holland as soon as it was
through and inquiries as to its health
and its growth in every way mentally
Las well as physically is of the greatest
importance It is noted as an instance
of the kindness of heart of the queen
that when the child was baptized all of
the queens former instructors were
present They are now white haired
men but greatly gratified to be so re
membered
Kossuth Disciples Wealth to Poor
A few days ago at the age of S2
there died at Zombor in Hungary one
of Kossuths followers named Stefan
Komjovits who had always led an ec
centric existence and had been re
garded as a man of merely moderate
means But on his death his will
showed that he was one of the richest
men in his province and had hus
banded his wealth chiefly for the pur
pose of distributing It at his death in
benefiting his fellow citizens
His bequests include SO morgen of
land and G0000 kronen for an insti
tute for the blind 200 morgen and 400
000 kronen for a school 1200 morgen
and 30000 kronen for a cadet training
institution and 250000 kronen for a
church
Two hundred and fifty thousand
kronen was left to a priest his serv
ant and stewards receive 200000each
and 120 other persons 3000 kronen

A Bit of Negro Humor
Robert Edeson tells the following
story of a negro servant that is worth
repeating
One day last summer Mr Edeson
noticed that Lindy was in an un
usually good humor while doing her
work singing all the time He called
her in the room and saw she was ar
rayed in colors that would have
shamed Solomon including as they
did all the bright hues of the rain
bow
Lindy said he why are you so
happy to day This evoked the re
ply Marse Bob I Just buried my
fourth husband yesterday You did
said Mr Edeson Well it seems to
me that it would be more befitting
you to array yourself in garments of
a somber hue
Dats alright said Lindy but Im
one of dose folks dat caries dere grief
in de heart instead of on dere
clothes TJtica Observer
