JESUS FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND.
l.KSSON TKXT-John :1-14.
OOI.DICN TKXT-Olvo us this day our
daily bread. Matt. 6:11.
Tills parable marks the high level
of the year of our Lord's popularity.
It Is such nn Important miracle ns to
bo the only one recorded la nil four
gospels, r.e sure to use n pood lmr
mouy. The returning twelve (Matt.
11:1) nre taken liy their mnster to n
desert plaee that they might find rest
(Mk. 0::il) and that he might comfort
their hearts over the death of John the
Baptist (Matt. 14:1-12). The multi
tude would not grant them the rigid
use of their leisure, hut Hocked to this
retreat in the desert. They followed
that they might listen to his gracious
words, and perhaps la-hold some new
wonder (v. i.'). Carlisle said he saw In
Knglnnd "forty millions, mostly fools."
Jesus saw the multitude, and was
moved, not with sarcasm, hut with
compassion which took a tangilde form
of service. Mark tells us (0::il) that
Icmis was lirst of all teaching the mul
titude. It is hetter to teach a man how
10 help himself than to help the man.
Ve should not he surprised at Philip's
slowness of faith.' Muses 'In ll like
manner was once nonplussed as to how
to feed the multitude in the wilder
ness. (Num. 1 1 :-l -.)). It Is not so
much how great the need nor how Ut
ile we possess; lather, is that little
given over to Cod? Andrew, who had
;-evcttlcd Jesus unto I'eler, discovers as
though in desperation a hoy whose
unit her hsid thoughtfully provided him
with a lunch, consisting of live barley
hiscuits and two small herring (v. '.) ;
at least that much remained. This is
a great commentary upon the tide of
Interest at this time, that the hoy
should not have cat en his entire lunch,
for the hoy's hunger is proverbial. It
seems as though Jesus emphasizes the
helplessness of the disciples In order
that he may show his power. His com
mand "Cive ye them" (Mk. 0:::7)
leaches us that we are to give such
as we have, and not look to others nor
to do our charity hy proxy (I'rov.
1 1 :'2--'2T) . Again the Saviorusks his
disciples as though he would teach
thrm the resources of his kingdom.
Cive what you have, and he will hies
and increase it to the supplying of the
needs of u multitude. The secret of
success was when he took tip tin
lonves, and, "looking up," Cod also saw
lli.it day and blessed it. We need to
observe the systematic procedure. The
people nre seated or reclining Umii the
ground in ranks or in companies, the
master Messing and hreaking the hoy's
cakes, giving lirst to the disciples. Cod
works miracles through human
agencies only. The result of this sys
tematic procedure was that they Were
all satisfied, "tilled" (v. I'-'). Luke
adds that "all did eat" (Lk. !):1T). Not
alone, however, was tin vo divine ord"r
and Invishness, Inn there were economy
and thrift as well, for Jesus pave en re
fill direetion as to the fragments. The
lav ishiu-sx is show n hy the fact that
the haskets into which the fragments
wire gathered were each prolmhly
large enough in which lo sleep. This
i user va t ion process was a stinging
rclaike to the iniprnv idem orientals
and to pi-eseul-day prodigals of that
wonderful hounty with which Cod has
Messed our laud. Cod fives to us that
we may use for other. Joy dies unless
it Is shared. Jesus is the living broad
(John H:-IS), and will satisfy hunger
and life even as bread generates in
I he human body heat, vitality and
power; so he would still fciil the
hungry soul of mankind. We have at
hand the word, and it is for lack of it
that men die in I lie deepest, truest
sense of that word. The poverty and
perplexity of the diseiples in his pres
ence and in the presence of this great
need are being repcatd over ami over
today, ami yet it Is absurd. We have
not enough to feed the multitude. Our
few loaves of amusements, mental ac
tivities and social service will not feed
them, but when we break unto them
the Living Bread, they have enough
and to spare. The dillicultv with the
distribution of material bread for the
needs of mankind is not that there is
not euoiigii grain, hut nit her that in
the process of distribution certain com
panies of men can control the fruits of
the earth, and withhold them from the
consumer for their own profit. Is there
not a partible in this for the church in
that it Is so much concerned with Its
own joys, pleasures and protits that
It is withholding from the mass of
mankind, especially in the foreign Held,
the bread which alone can bring life
and immortality to light?
Summary: () The hope of the
world's salvation Is in the wonderful
power of Cod ill multiplying Hie little
we give to him in the way of service.
(-) If we bring no KH. how cun Cod
bless man? Compare this boy's serv
ice with the service of the little maid
in Xaainnn's household.
(.") Conservation of the fragments,
using -M or wasting Hie fragments of
lime, of opportunity, etc., makes all
Ihe difference between success and fail

F.ach year the University of Ne
braska holds a tournament for the
high school basketball teams of the
state and most of the live (owns of
the state make it a point to see that
their high school is represented. This
year Kushville is in that "live town"
class ami will no represented hy a
tine bunch of Sheridan county hoys
who will ho a credit to the town.
They have ordered a banner ami arm
bands using Ihe '"Sheridan county
potatoes" for their emblem. These
will be displayed in the hotel and on
the floor of the auditorium while
playing. The business men of Kush
ville were very generous in subscrib
ing the necessary funds. The boys
will leave Uushville Tuesday even
ing March 6, and return March 11.
This will give the boys a cliancn to
see Lincoln, the state university and
farm and also offers opportunity for
them to become acquainted with the
boys of other high schools of tho
state. This trip following tho one
in January ought to wako Homo of
the people In the eastern part of tho
state up to the fact that there Is a
real live county "on tho other side
of tho sand hills."

Western Nebraska Observer:
A train of forty-nine flat cars, each
car containing three Buiek six-cylinder
autos, pulled Into Kimball last
Friday with two of the cars on lire.
The fire company was called out and
the (lames extinguished.
The train, which consisted of forty-nine
Hat cars, was loaded with
i Uulrk light sixes, each valued at ov
ier $1,000. The autos were covered
I with tarapulin and this canvas
caught lire from the sparks of the
engine. The train was running
against a strong wind from the west.
Five of the autos were practically
a total loss, while one other was
slightly damaged. One was pushed
off the train a few miles east of
town to save others.
The lirst of the week the claim
agent sold the cars to II. W. I .arson.
I The one which is slightly damaged
I will be made as good as new at an
'expense of about $100. The top was
I the only part damaged. The other

hardship to many innocent people
who got coal along the tracks, yet
the company can not discern between
honest people and those who take
I coal from full cars, thus do the in-1

ever, the rule against trespassing Is

John Owens has a famous horse

heart out of a mountain If properly
connected with it. It has beo a
favorite pastime lately to get up bets
on the pulling feats of the animal
On Tuesday a young fellow from Dal

the horse could not pull him out of
the Owen's barn. The bot was tak
en and the young man arranged him
self with a foot on either door Jamb.
The next thing the spectators knew
the man had been dragged through
the door and seemed badly hurt. He
was taken to Dr. Mantor's office and
was found to have sustained some
severe lacerations. He was obliged
to remain In town for treatment. In
the meanwhile "Shorty" goes amia

Crawford Courier:
Monday afternoon of this week, a
colored man, known ns John, Wil
liam or Heuben Ilutler, but generally
known as "Nigger Ilutler," who had
been a familiar flguro In our street
for a number of years, and of lato a.
roustabout worker at Newcomb's sa
loon, died under rather mysterious
circumstances In his llttlo shack
hack of tho Klkhorn hotel, between
tho Burlington and Northwestern d
pots. The aged negro was taken III
last Saturday, and on Sunday morn
ing William Howard, who had sol
diered years ago with him, hearing
of his Illness, called to seo him. He
found Ilutler unable to speak or
movo and was frothing at the mouth,
with his eyes wldo open nnd staring.
A physician was summoned but was
unable to do anything for him. Dif
ferent parties called during that day
and evening and looked after him
till lato In tho evening, when two or
three tramps who had no place to
stay said they would take care of
him during the night and were al
lowed to do so, the others going to
their homes. Monday morning Ilut
ler was found by Chief of Folice
Spearman lying across the Burling

house. and taken back to his shack,
where he died about 2 o'clock In the
afternoon.
