A Southern Verse.
Tlios. Ilatemau, ot this city, has
received from his old comrade Part
ridge, an inmate of the Grand Isl
and soldiers' home, a copy ot a
verse which appeared in a letter
written by a southern girl to her
loyer, who waa m the confederate
army. The letter was intercepted
at Madison, Ark , along with other
mail which waa being forwarded to
General Marmaduke. The verse is
as follows:
"It is hard for you'ens to light the
Yanks,
And its hard for we'ena to stay at
home,
But its harder for you'ens and
we'ens to part
When you'ens have got we'ens
heart."
Edna Cooke,
The wonderful. In speaking of
the exquisite and altogether inimit
able bare-back riding of I2dna
Cooke, there is no language too
strong to proclaim her merits. Nor
ia it claiming too much to aver that
she is beyond all question the most
daring, the most accomplished, and
in every way the moat finished
equestrienne the woild has pro
duced. Her riding is a revelation
and a poem. Beautiful aB an liouri,
graceful as a fawn, Edna accom
plishes on her Hying courser num
berless feats none else ever dared
attempt, and backward and tor
ward somersaults are to her the
merest bagetelle. There are many
equestriennes in the profession, but
there ia but one Edna, and she ia
with the Pan American hhows,
which will exhibit at North Platte

Alumni Banquet.
The eighth anuual banquet of
the N..P. II. S. Alumni Asaociatio
was held at the Pacific lintel Wed
ncsday evening. The members o
the Claasof 1902 were the gueats o
the association. Owing to a variety
ot cauacs the attendance thiR yea
waa not quite as large as it has
been of recent years.
Prom nine until half pant nine an
informal reception was held in the
hotel parlors. This is always a
very enjoyable feature of the an
nual leathering, as it frequently
occurs that old classmates meet
there for the first time during th
year. At half past nine the mem
ocrs and their guests marched down
to the dining loom. The tables
were very prettily decorated with
scarlet and white carnations- the
colors of the class ot '02 and ami
lax. The viands were temptingly
set forth and added verv much to
the attractive appearance of the
tables. The mandolin club was
seated in the center of the room
and, aB the banquet proceeded, their
music added to the enjoyment o
the occasion. The banquet itself
was well served and and proved
very conclusively that Manager
Loveitt is a past master in the art
of nerving banquets.
Shortly after eleven o'clock, alter
the more material part had been
disposed of and the colTee served
President Walker hjioke a few
words of welcome to the Class o
'02 and then announced the first
toast "Should Auld Acquaintance
be Forgot" which was responded to
in a very fitUg nnnner by Mrs
Mary RoJJy. Her response brought
back very vividly to the minds of
the older ones present the seines
and liappenlngB in the old High
School building which has gone
the way ot all old buildingp, but
whose memory is still tenderly
cherished. Bert Parsons eulight
umed the aaaociatiou concerning
the fancies and foibleb of eome o
his classmates in his response to
the toast, "The Class of '02" and,
judging from the confused looka o
those of whom he spoke, the shots
must have gone home. 10. A. Cary
responded to the toast "Foot
Prints" in a very facetious manner
and told the history of one set of
foot prints he had seen in such an
impressive style that the listenera
were first thrilled with horror and
then convulsed with laughter aa he
wound ituip at the expense of the
toaatmaatcr. Miss Mabel Goozec,
in her response to the toast "Climb
ing," related the btorieB of some of
the members of the association who
stand out in capecial prominence
because their climbing proclivities
have caused them to rise above the
ordinary level ot humanity. Prof
Barber, because of his long ex
perience with that interesting
branch of fascinating woman
liood, was asked to respond
to the toast "Our School Ma'ams."
He did justice to his subject and,
although he did reveal some un
written history that was amusing,
he proved that he, in common with
the majority of people, held them
in high regard and realized that
they are among the strongest forccB
for good in a community. II. S.
Ridgley responded to the toast
"Our Girls" and convinced his hear-
ers that, although, through the in
llueuce of one ot the members of
the Association he had joined the
ranks of the benedicta, he still had
vety keen appreciation of the
charms of the feminine portion of
the Association,
President Walker made a very
able toastmabter and his intro
ductions of the various toasts con
tained Home very happy hits.

response was luualid and the

matter ot pleasant history.

Why There Arc So Many,
The large number of candidates
that aspire to the nomination ot
governor this year would indicate
that alter all the chief executives,
of Nebraska are not overworked
nor underpaid. The first three
governors of the state had to be
content with a salary of $1,000 a
year, with no allowance for rent
uiei, ice or uorse louucr. with a
Bilary of $1,000 a year the first gov
ernor of Nebraska gave a banquet
to the legislature that coat him $500
and the measly and ungrateful poli
ticians that constituted that body
after putting him to the expense of
an impeachment trial removed him
from office.
After the adoption of the present
constitution the salary of Nebras
ka.1 governor was raised to ;$2,500
a year, and at this rate thev con
tinued to labor 313 days in the year
with the usual Sunday vactioim
and an occasional junket without
threatening to resign on account ot
1 rise in the price of beef and pro
visions,
Five years ago the legislature
voted an allowance of $60 a month
for rent to the governor and a great
rumpus was raised over that law-
ess piece of extravagance. The
legislature of 1897 came to the res
cue with an appropriation ol $20,000
for an executive mansion to relieve
the governor lrom the odium ot
Bigntng rent vouchers. The last
legislature went tho legislature of
1897 one better. Having Installed
the governor 111 one of the most
aristocratic maaioiiB of the capital
it voted him an allowance of $1,500
a year for maintainance, furniture
and repairs of the inanition or
nearly three times aB much aB had
ever been appropriated for the
offensive rent charge. With this
precedent established our governor
can now count reasonably on a bal-
ary ot $,500 a year, a free residence
elegantly furnished and a very
liberal allowance for fuel to heat
mansion, and flowers, inuaic and re
freshments tor an occasional Btate
banquet and receptions and an
evening dresB suit lor the door
keeper,
with these allureineutR in uhriit
iB it any wonder that HO llliltiv lllitl
are willmir to sacrifice thcmnel
011 the altar of their country and
uiBcuarge aome ot the diaagrceable
functions that devolve upon the
chief executive of the common-
wealth.'' Omaha lice.
