Gandy Pioneer. The McCook Tribune wants a-Reput- ican valley irrigation convention to be held in that city some tiraean February. The convention to be called for the pur pose of general irrigation discussion and he t iking of definite steps for organ izing the valleys of the Republican and renchman rivers, under the new state . . aw, into districts to be bonded for the construction of irrigation works. If Charles ReifleJ has discovered how to make a good quality of whisky from sugar beets, as tne revenue olhcers claim, it may still further stimulote the cultivation of that article by raising he price to, fit the demand. Statistics show that the American weaple use more whisky than sugar by some co n- siderable amount, and with the present acreage of beets it would hardly supply this state with ''eye-openers" for our thirsty citizens.

Logan county did receive fourteen sacks of potatoes on or about that time, but no more, and Rev. Ludden cannot produce a receipt from the coun ty clerk of this county that acknowl edges the receipt of moro than that number of sacks. If tho entire report is as incorrect as that portion devoted to Logan county the commission should be thoroughly investigated. The "aid bus iness" is dead but the report has but recently been made, hence this criticism. Gandy Pioneer.

Stockholm's pubb'o library contains a wonderful work which is called "The Devil's Code" aud which in addition to its extraordinary name is said to be ' the biggest manuscript in tho world. Every letter is most beautifully drawn and the magnitude of the work is so great that it. seems impossible for any single monk'to have done it. The story of tho origin of the nianur script, however, not only giyea it as the work of one man, but also states it to be the work of a single night The story runs as follows : "A poor mouk had been condemned to death, but was told mockingly by bis judges that if he was ablo to copy the whole 'Code' between darkness and dawn he would bo saved. Relying upon the impossibility of the task, those who senteuced him .furnished him with the original copy of the 'Code,' with pen, ink and parchment and left him. "Death must have been as little liked in the middle ages as it is now, for the monk, forgetting the hopelessness of his task, commenced it. Before long, however, ho flaw that he could not save his own life by such weak exertions, and fearing a cruel and horrible death he invoked the aid of the prince of darkness, promising to surrender his soul if he were assisted in the task. "The devil kindly obliged by appear ing on the spot, accepted the contract and sat down to the work, and next morning 'The Devil's Code' was finished, the monk being found dead. Tho copy ing clerk from the infernal regions pre sumably fled away with-the poor man's soul as soon a3 tho wicked compact was finished." Pearson's Weekly. Hall Calne'a Idea. At a dinner given by the Aldine club of New York to Hall Caine that gentle man said regarding the relations bo tween Canada and tho United States: "The relatione betwQcu Canada and the United States may sometimes be a little strained, but there seems, to an Englishman, to be no sufficient reason why two great nations should not live in friendly rivalry on, this great conti nent I camo here, sir, by way of Ni agara, where the river that divides your country- from Canada looks angry and impassable enough. But I dare say you have noticed that in that watery horse shoe angle, where the breach between the two countries is widest, the sun can never-shine on the clouds of vapor which rise out of those troubled waters without- making a beautiful rainbow, which bridges land to land. "Gentlemen and brother aufhofs, in the most troubled moment between. Can ada and the United States, it only needs the sunshine of good faith and good fel lowship to bridge over the differences between you."
