Since that intimation, there has

larry Highland pointed out a
Bridgeport man to us. "That fellow,"
'ie said, "has an infallible system for

Clay Harry tells us this .-torv, which
happened, he says, durintr his trip to
vJmana a week or so airo. lie was at
rending a show and he took pains to
reli us that the Gaiety wouldn t open
until September 1, so this performance
must have been at the Orpheum. At
my rate, one of the acts was a ladv
.singer, and she had a remarkable
oice. She sung a couple of sono
and the audience irave her a hand, and
nack she came with a better son? than
'he first time. I he crowd w as enthu
.-iastic, and they continued to give her
ncore after encore, and she responded
ith simply mapnificent music, until
-he simply had to beg her hearers to
tet her rest After the last son or. Clav
heard a couple of women in front of
jnim talking. One of them said,
'"' Hasn t she a wonderful repertoire?"
And the other responded, "She cer
tainly has but she dresses so that it
loesn't show so very much."
Some of these days, Scott-bluff will

A new acquaintance was telling us
if his first case of ptomaine poisoning.
He had been whooping 'er up for only
five or ten minutes, when his father
reproached him for being intoxicated
The two men in the shop who start
ted out to quit smoking have gone
without the solace of the weed for
three weeks now. Maybe they can
jit, after all.
Our suspicions are confirmed. The
printers devil has a new haircut, in
addition to the new necktie. The
transformation comes a little late in
the season, but it ought to be effective.
Now, if we can only persuade Romeo
to get a real haircut, the back room
'ill look real civilized.
If you see some fellow peeping into
your window during the night-time,
the thin? to do is to shoot first and
inquire into his identity afterward.
It may be true that if a man is
lrunk drunk enough to convince the
iistrict judjre he may not recall
everything that he has done. How
ever, it's a safe bet that if you gave
him a good beating for something he
lid while intoxicated, he might get
pretty drunk, but he'd never be so
.soused again that he wouldn't remem
ber why he got beat up, and remem
ber not to repeat the offense. It's a
remedy worth trying, anyway.
There was a man
And all his life
He'd worked in a shipyard
And he had a baby
And it was going to be christened
And for a week
He couldn't sleep night
Because he was worried
For fear the minister
Would hurt the baby
When he hit it with the bottle.

An Alliance young lady was discus

with an acquaintance. "But," said
the friend, "do you think you and he
are suited to each other?" "Oh, per

are quite similar. I don't care very
much for him and he doesn't care very

Hints for Fishermen
No fish of ordinary intelligence will
.ite before four a. m. nor after six a.
m except when he chooses.
Angle worms will be found to go
.fleeper into the earth during dry
weather and still deeper in drier
the tackle and the num
ber of fish caught vary in inverse
proportion.
Some fish like live minnows, others
refer to be hooked with an artinci&l
rog, and I have known some who ex
pressed "a desire for their own kind
chopped in squares.
Any woman would rather die than
bait a hook. Others don't mind it at
all except that they cannot bear to
touch any sort of bug or worm.
All angle worms should be put on
the hook head first. To determine
which end is the head, place the worm
on th ground and hold out a piece of
ham or a dish of com flakes. The end
moving toward you is the head. If the
worm doo not

Bureau of Markets
Makes Suggestions
to Potato Growers
A bulletin containing data on mar
ket grades and standards for Ne
braska potatoes has been issued by
the state agriculture department. In
addition to the fancy No. 1 and No.
2 grades recognized under federal
regulations, the state law also pro
vides for an "Early Nebraska" grade,
produced in the district around Kear
ney. It is these "Early Nebraska" po
tatoes which have recently brought top
prices on the Chicago market ami else
where. The bulletin tells growers and
shippers that "vegetables, like fruit,
sell largely on their appearance," and
it sii'-Tge.-ts that proper grading and
handling makes them doubly atti ac
tive to duvets. The appended .-mr-pestions
are made as tending to in
crea-e the market value of tuber.-:
I. Avoid dipping in wi t weather.
'J. Bun the digger m to cut lneenth

S. Potatoes in any type of contain
er .hould be loaded into the car

ing to weather conditions.
10. When box cars are used during
the season of cold weather, Make
sure that they are properly lined, that
heat is provided and that an attendant

11. The whole aim of the producer
should be to deliver his product in a
