NOTHING W'LD V LY IN NEBRAS Qnnlnt n-vlnv i. . -.ted Xcvr Yorker' Drat Trip In lint a nnil Xclirnnkn. -I'rnlap for Omnhn'a School Syateiii. Elbert Hubbard devotes the entire April Issuo of his llttlo magazine, "Tho 1'hllls tlnc," to a description ot his recent western tour. (Mr. Hubbard, It will be remembered, enmo to Nebraska at the Invitation ot tho Ne braska Press association nnd delivered an address beforo tho annual meeting ot that body In Lincoln In January. He nlso gave tho samo address beforo tho teachers ot Omaha. In his lnlmltablo manner Mr. Hubbard writes In a charmingly entertaining man ner of hid vlirlt, It being, according to his own statement, hln first trip of more than two miles from homo In three months. From tho following extracts It will bo No ticed that Mr. Hubbard 1b an advocato In practlco as woll as theory of phonetic ppolllng. Speaking of his Journey, the lat-ter-'day philosopher says: "I havo heard It said that no hotel could thrlvo without a bar. Tho hotel In Iowa that has a bar Is tthe exception, and thero nro prosperous hotels In every town, where no liquors arc to bo had. (As an Instance, I might namo tho Ouncombo houso, at Fort Dodge, whoso proprietor, I was told, makes $20,000 a year out ot the business. Iowa will yet ho tho richest stato In the union. This will bo simply because sho has greater natural advantages than any other state. 3Ior adults produce, thrco times over, more monoy per capita than tho adults of New York state. All wealth Is dug out of the ground, & Iowa hns moro acres of fertile land for her elzo than any other state In tho union. Money Is flowing Into Iowa In a steady stream for her corn, hogs, cattlo nnd horses. Thero Is no such things as a failure ot crops In Iowa. Tho richness of thctlnnd Is Inexhaustible, nnd as tho farm crs are, for tho most part, also stock rais ers, feeding out their crops, tho quality ot tho soil Is getting richer Instead of poorer. "New England first accumulated wealth thru her foreign trado, nnd thus supplied tho capital to start her manufactories. Tho tmrplus Incomo from the factories was loaned to tho west, hut now Iowa Is paying back her loans. Most of tho money being loaned now In 'Iowa Is owned by Iowa cttlzons. Tho banks thruout tho stato ask no favors from 4ho east they havo all tho funds they need lAnd already thero Is a surplus In dozens and b cores of small towns and cities seeking In vestment. What to do with tho money Is tho question! Of courso the cast docs not 'want It, and tho result is it is being used nt homo to eroct nnd equip manufactories, ofllco buildings, opera houses, street car lines, libraries, schools and colleges. rritlne for N'ebnmka University. "Lincoln was all right, too not so big a crowd, hut all very sympathetic and earn est. Thero was a roceptlon at the homo of Prof, and Mrs. Sherman, whero I met aov oral hundred wcll-dresst, kindly, cultured people. I lookt for tho Wild and Woolly, hut failed to locato It. Among the callers was Governor 1'oynter, who had tho felicity to bo horn In Illinois, only n few miles from where I used to cultivate stone-brulscs. Tho English department at tho University of Ne braska seems, to mo quite the best of any college or school ot which I know in Amer ica. "At Lincoln they pay special attention to having the scholar express himself by writ ing tho English language. They try to glvo freedom and mako language fluid; glvo wings to tho imagination & add cubits to tho spir itual staturo of tho scholar by abolishing feor. Some of tho papers I oxamlned, writ ten .by tho young men and women of tho University of Nebraska, wero models in clear, torse, vivid expression. Tho sentences were short, crisp, easily followed nnd showed, there wero men behind them. Tho period wns used instead ot tho semi-colon. It is all Co-Ed at Lincoln decidedly Co-Ed and a brighter, moro earnest lot of stu dents I novor saw. And looker, Mister, over half of them nro working their way thru college. They go to collego, and thero Is a deal of dlfferenco botweon going to collego nnd being sent. Those who go to collego get thero Ell tho otuors may. "If llarrott Wendell of Harvard would enter tho University of Nebraska as a fresh man and tako tho English courso It would bo to him a bath nnd a benediction. It would euro him of his Anglomania, guff, gaiters, goatco and gawf breeches that scream. It would relievo his systom ot its nlcotlno nnd clear his brain of Its egotistic hoozo that threatens to smother his mental cosmos. Co-Ed Is what' Darrott Wendell needs ho ought to assoclato with good womon, escbow tho chlpplo dance getting his Mean of women from n better source take wild chorry splits nnd study English composition under Profs. Sherman, Miller or Ansloy, or elso bo put In chnrgo of some strong western woman, whom they might set apart to birch tho bnts out ot tho beefy Barrett's belfry. "Thero wns a 'banquet after the lecture, given by the Nobraoka Press association. Two hundred country editors wero present many of them with their wives. They cut tho speechmaklng down and gavo tho tlmo to two men Era Elbertus and Hon. J. Ster ling Morton. Tho Nebraska editors nro Kood stuff and evidently are making a deal more money than tho average country editor In tho effeto and dreamy east. They wore n and allusion letting nothing go by. I lookt for them to muff a ievr of my files, but they never did. Mr. Morton Is a mem ber of tho Amerlcnn Academy of Immortals. Ho has been governor of tho state, a member of tho cabinet nnd Is, nnd han been, a fanner In Nebraska slnco 1S51. Thero Is a merry twlnklo In his fine bluo eyec. Ho toast a fow gently over tho homo plato and then there came a flerco ln-curvo that gave mo a walk to first a limp, I should say. Still, I guess I can stand It." A Depot Incident. Mr. Hubbard speaks, relative to his Omaha vlult, In tho hlghwt words ot pralso of tho Ilurllngton station, designating It "tho finest specimen of puro Greek architecture In America." Describing an Incident that came under his notlco whllo In tho depot Mr. Hubbard says: "As I sat thero In that beautiful waiting room, watching tho sunlight stream In thru stained glass wlndown, I saw n tired, yellow woman corao in with many 'bundlca and a big, crying baby boy. Tho woman seemed ready to faint thru weariness; evidently sho was unused to travel, having como from a distance nnd having passed a sleepless night. I saw a stewardess In cap and white npron npproach this woman nnd itpoak to her, nnd soon, .from out of a mys terious locker, that stewardess, In tho cap and whlto apron, flasht up a pillow nnd mndo a couch for tho tired woman. And whllo tho mother rested the stownrdess car ried tho big, obstreperous 'boy 1nby off to tho wash room and when sho omerged soon after I saw that tho cub's faco and hands had been wnsht, nnd a bottlo of milk, brought from tho lunch room, soon put the man-child en rapport with his environment. "And I plncht myself to eeo if I wan awake, & then nskt a colored gentloman, who whs wiping off tho furniture, If this wa3 really a truly rnllroad station. "I'm not so absurdly old, but I rcmomber when, If you askt a railroad ticket agent or a conductor a question ho met you with wlthcrlnc sarcasm and looks of scorn. Whenever you entered a railway coach you apologized to tho brakeman, and sliding into n seat lookt neither to right nor left for fear of giving offenso to tho kind gentle man who allowed you to ride for 6 cents a mile. Omnlin'n Hrliool Syntcin. "Tho school system of Omaha Is founded with Intent to keep n lltlo in ndvanco of present needs rather thnn to lag behind. Tho now buildings that aro being erected from tlmo to tlmo aro models ot their kind two stories high which Is high cnuff for any school building. Special attention is paid to light & ventilation but, best of all, tho Proobel methods nro bolni? carried up In degree Into tho higher grades, and Superin tendent Pearso Is working hard to mako Sloyd nnd manual training a part ot tho curriculum. "Miss Slmonds, principal of the Cass school, has much moro than a local reputa tion an nn educator; nnd tho way this ex cellent woman hns infused kindergarten Ideas which nro only kindness, oy nnd truth Into her work, has Influenced all Omaha for good. This Is tho woman who workt tho evolution of Dodd. My lecturo at tho First Congrcgatlonnl church, In Omaha, was the best nd dress 'I gavo on tho wholo barn-storming tour. Sometimes my speeches are very bad, but occasionally I havo been known to strike thirteen I acknowledge It myself. "Every speech requires a hearer, and to listen Is a flno art. Thero were over a thou sand peoplo In tho audlenco at Omaha overy seat was tnken; they overran tho choir, tho pulpit stairs, tho window sills and platforms, filling the chairs nnd sofa. Four hundred teachers wero present; tho rest wero Philistines nnd gentle folks of the town. They camo with tho. hospitable mind & receptive heart. They camo expecting to get something and they did. Thoy filled In between tho lines nnd understood the things that wero left unsaid. "Tho tenchors of Omaha understand their business. (And this, according to William Hnwloy Smith, Is all thero is of education. Education and culture nro simply for tho purposo of enabling n person to do his work. Do your work nnd do It the best you can and you aro benefiting humanity uplifting tho raco.

Dill" McCuno and Mrs, McCune have re turned from a two months' recreation outing n Buffalo Hill's Wyoming kingdom. Mr. McCune or "Major," ns ho is called by many of his friends is well known as tho officer of tho day for tho Iluffalo 13111 aggregation. Colonel Cody and tho McCunes left Omaha January 18 for tho town of Cody, named n honor of tho veteran scout. It Is sixty miles from Itcd Ixdge, Mont., which Is thu nearest rnllroad station. Asldo from tho town ot Cody pcrhnps tho most Impor tant featuro of tho Illg Horn country Is Cody's ranches, tho T. K., devoted to gen- j cral stock raising, and another of largo acreage, used as n homo for horses. Iluffalo 1)111 Is nlso tho publisher ot the Cody En terprise, a sprightly newspaper, of which J. II, I'cako Is editor. Reviewing his outing Mr. McCune said: 'Colonel Cody accompanied us to tho Dig Horn country nnd stayed thero four weeks. Wo wero so pleased with tho surroundings that wo remained longer. It wns the greatest trip of my life. It did mo good to get nway from tho busy humdrum ot a busy world and thero In a country that has nover been Invaded by railroads feast on nature unsullied by artificial devices, Tho Illg Horn country Is a haven of rest. Tho cllmato Is superb, tho scenery Is grand nnd tho peoplo aro as good as can bo found on earth. Wild MkM Hide for a llrldc. 'Hut beforo 1 go further, I must tell of a rough and rendy western boy's thrilling rldo to win tho girl ho loved. Ills namo is Ouo Thompson und ho Is tho foreman on Cody's horsu ranch. IIo has charge ot over 1,100 head ot as lino horses as can bo found any whero and he Is nt homo In the saddle. In tho midst of ranch llfo solitude Gus wooed and won a pretty mountain las by tho namo of Jcnnio llarbcc. Hut her father objected. That was no obstnelo In tho wny of Gus Thompson brawny, brave and true-hearted 'boy and ho suggested elopement. iMlra Bar- beo consented. But, flrst ot nil, tho mar riage llcenso must bo secured. That required a rldo of soventy-flve miles to Basin City. Old mnn Barbco heard of the plant and armed with a Winchester set out for Basin City to circumvent tho issuance of a license, for tho girl was not of legal age. IIo had soverul hours' start ot Gus, but tho thoughtful suitor had sent throe of Cody's best horses ahead by confederates, for ho wanted relays In or der to mako a record-breaking trip. Colonel Cody know of tho ndventuro and made n large wagor with a friend who did not bellevo that Gus could defeat old man Barbeo In his de termination to prevent tho marriage. Eight miles from Basin City Gus overtook his pros pective fathor-ln-law, donning by htm nt a breakneck speed. 'Ho wns armed with a braco of pistols, hut he had no tlmo to waste In shootlng.and Barbco was so amazed that ho could not get his trigger quick enough to reach Gus with a 'bullet. Seeing that he could not stop tho llcenso thn old man turned his steps homeward, hoping to prevent by forco tho departure of his daughter, for he know that Gus would noon return for her. Tho llcenso -was Issued nnd when Gus reached tho Barbeo homestead the irate father was waiting for him in tho rear of tho house. I'rildlrr Receives Shook. "As an incident to tho arrival of Gus to claim his bride, thero was a by-play that is too humorous to omit from this story. lnsldo tho houso wns a stove peddler who was trying to sell a range to Mrs. Barbee. Tho old man camo dashing through the houso as soon as ho saw Gus galloping up and In doing so run over tho peddler In hla hasto to got out. The poor peddler knew nothing of tho olopement and thought his prospective customer had gone mad. Th old man got out, but Gus had approached another door than tho ono expected and tho old man missed him. The peddler, however, scrambled out through tho very door nt which Gus was stationed, holding a pistol In each hand. Tho cries for mercy uttered by that peddler will go down In Illg Horn history as ono of the most laughable events ot tho century. But he inadvertently played Gus a good turn, for In the midst ot tho contusion he caused Barbco became so disconcerted that ho lost hla wits and tho girl slipped out unobserved, mounting a horso that stood waiting ror her. 'incn uus calmly backed away nnd by his superior generalship escaped without having to shoot hla sweetheart's ratUer. from tne unrueo place they rodo llko Tarn O'Shantor to the T. E. ranch, whero a magistrate from Cody was In waiting to sny tho marrlago cere mony. Mjsolf nnd Mrs. McCuno and a num ber of other guests wore present to wunoas tho wedding. "Tho brldo and groom aro now at homo on Cody's horso ranch. This romantic wedding occurred In tho latter part or February nnu It was an event 1 shall never forget. Al though Barbeo objected to his daughter's marriage ho subsequently confessed admira tion for tho gallantry of his son-in-law, nnd, llko most love stories, all ended woll. Colonel Cody expressed regrets that he could not romaln for tho wedding, but it so hap pened that ho was called east on Imperativo business. Ho nfterward heard the good news and collected his wngcr. "Except tho tlmo wo wpent on Colonol Cody's ranches nnd In tours through tho country wo wero tho guests ot Editor J. H. Peako In Cody a typical Virginia gentle man, who, after varied experience In Wash ington and other eastern cities, decided to seek tho freedom of llfo In tho west. It is a mlstnken Idea to presume that there Is no social llfo in tho Big Horn district. Tho town of Cody In populnted by as elegant a lot of peoplo as can bo found nnywhero and wo made many cherished acquaintances, among whom wero Editor Beake, Mr. nnd Mrs. Samuel Aldrldge. Mr. and Mrs. Mc Laughtln, Mrs. Lulu Blaino and numerous others. I.lvc on the I'nl of the I, nnd. "There Is plenty to cat In that out-of-tho-wny land.

Thcso people will undoubtedly live longer than thoso who exist in tho crowded centers. It is In fnct tho only natural llfo I havo observed. "Colonol Cody Is going to build a palatial homo and spend his old ago there. It may bo several years before ho In ready to lay down his vaBt show interests and retreat to this haven, but ho Is planning that way eventually nnd his plans seldom fail to carry.
