"Vd ate him and we thanked the Lord for all His wondrous fruit Life, hope and love and royal friends who live in far Box Butte, I am prepared to say that Box Butte turkeys corn fed and groomed with care are equal Jo the best, no matter -where their birthplace nor the length ofHhcir pedigree. Also, I am prepared to prove, that Alliance contains at least three" people who can see( quite a ways into a grindstone. Once upon a time a Man found a Viper in his path. The reptile was frozen Stiff with the Cold and was .about to yield up its Life. Fired with Compassion, the Man took the Viper home, laid it beside the cosy Fire jand warmed it back to Life. When the Viper had. regained its Powers it re paid its Benefactor by Socking its Fangs into his hands. As the Poison got in its Deadly Work the Man looked , at the Viper and exclaimed; 'Ingrati tude, thy name is Corporation." Moral: The men who voted the re publican party Into new lease of power have no kick coming because of the in- Wcased freight rates. A few weeks ago Tho Commoner re printed a democratic estimate of Presi dent Roosevelt and the Lincoln jourual -threw a fit because Mr. Bryan gave apace to a disrespectful article about Mr. Roosevelt. The delicious humor -of The Journal's attitude will be appre ciated bv those who understand how strenuously that paper seeks through its exchanges for all the nasty and spitetul things about Mr. Bryan lor the purpose of reprinting them. ' Mr. Mickey has gigged back on the proposition to make his son private sec retary. Awful' Jot of hungry mouths to feed in the tat that managed your -campaign, olvMr. Mickey? Some of these days Nebraska will be jarred from center to circumference, the sky will be overcast", streams will disappear, trees will crash to the ground . and the hills will crumble to dust. But be not afraid. It will be caused by the prying loose of a fellow named Bab cock from a close connection with tho "treasury of Nebraska. If Brother Howard wants to add an other handsome Nebraska newspaper to his exchange list let him mark a Co lumbus Telegram "X" and send it to the Plattsmouth Journal. The Journal is as good as it looks. v With freight' rates going up and grain prices coming down a lot of republican farmers are,undergoing the first inclin ation to think that has scruck them within the last five years. A lot of newspaper puns have been made on Uncle Joe Cannon's namw but rto date we have seen no mention of the fact that he is a cannon used to fire sa- lutes, not to achieve any direct results. Big ranchmen who are inclined to be disturbed 'by 'presideutial threats to tear down the fences should calm them selves. Just as the president achieved tils highest ferocity in threatening the trusts he had to go home with a boil on his leg. It will be something else - before he cuts the fences. Some people seem to think that prayer is nothing more than demand ing that God give them what they want. Just recall the nanes of a lot of Christians you know and see it some of -them don't lean so heavily on God that t-iheir feet never touch the ground. Some Christians keep the fact so carofullv hidden that their neighbors nover find it out'. " If tho railroads' and other corpora tions have not mapped out too much woik tlie legislature ought to transact its business and adjourn 'within -sixty days." " Some day it may dawn upon the railroad managers . that it would bo cheaper to obey tho laws than to spend money to prevent legislation and cor- upt courts. Nearly every day I .am asked some thing about The Commoner, how many people are employed, tho size of tho pay roll, and a thousand" and one other questions. Mr. Charles W. Bryan has recently given an interview that covers all the pointB of jinterest, and every statement here made 'is taken from his interview, is absolutely correct and can be verified by the office books. On November 15, 1902, tho circula tion of Tho Commoner was i40(ooo. " The Commoner has no printing plant, but it employs an average of forty-three people, and the weekly pay roll for these averages over F400. Including the money paid for compo sition and press work The Commoner pays out more than 28,000 a year in wages. It takes 800,000 pounds of paper to issue Tho Commoner one year. This is upwards of 15,000 pounds a week.' Postage on The Commoner averages Si 50 a week. If all the paper required for a year's supply of The Commoner were loaded in cars it would make a train of twenty six loads. A ton of' empty mail sacks is used each week to sack the paper.4 It takes over 350 pounds" of manila paper to wrap a week's, issue of The Commoner. ' The 'office force works eight hours a da and over time is paid for at price and One-half. Legal holidays are ob served with no deduction of wages. If J forced to work any part of a holiday the employes receive price and one half. All employes are given a vaca tion on full pay once a year. The Nebraska Independent performs the typesetting. The press work is done by the Freie Press, and when the1 perfecting press starts it prints Com moners at the rate of from 18,000 to 24,000 an hour. Proceedings. lot of Christians whn lmo to havo a church hell to notify ilium ol tho hour of Worship always manage to get to the theater befoio the curtain goes up. It no longer takes two to make a bargain. If you don't bclieyo it just try to deal with a trust. Commissioners' AtXtANCB, Nun., December a, 100a.

I'lIYSICIANfl, It may not be generally known that only four cities in the United States ex ceed Lincoln in the output of second class mail matter. The Commoner with a circulation of 140,000, the Freie Press with a circulation of 125,000 a a week, the Nebraska Independent with a circulation of 20,000 a week, the two Woodmen publications with a circulation of upwards of one million each month, the four daily papers with their weekly issues, several fraternal organs, college and church papers, ag ricultural and live stock papers and trado papers combine to give Lincoln this rank. Millions of pounds of second-class matter originating in Lincoln arc handled by the local postofnee every year. I won't give the family away by tell ing their name, but the story is good enough without it. We'll call it Smith because that don't sound a bit like if. The Smiths are prominent church Work ers, and are also prominent in frater nal society circles. A few evenings ago the pastor called on the Smith fain ilyj bringing his wife and daughter with him. The daughter plays the piano. Tho Smiths have a little girl four years old whoso memory is little short of marvelous, and whose talent for mimicry is well developed. The pas tor's daughter was persuaded to play a fe,w. tunes. Finally she struck up a rollicking air, The little Smith girl immediately mounted a chair and be gan to shout: , "Honor yo" pa'ners! Balance all! Al'man lef'l - Gran' " But at this juncture the mother grabbed the young, hopeful and hustled her out of the room. This same little girl has beeu taught a prayer which she repeats every night. It winds up thusly: "God bless mamma and papa and take care of them." The other night she ended her prayer in the usual form, then looked up at her mamma and exclaimed: "What's the use botherin' God about papa; he's big enough to take care of hisself ?" The mother knew why, but she didn't waste time explaining. ; AlliancK, Neb., December 4, 1902. Board .met pursuant to 'adjournment. Present, same officers as on the first day.
