Nebraska, Foatofflce as secona ciaes matter, FRIDAY MARCH 11, 1910. The total revenue for the entire state received by all tho railroads for 1003 was $48,112,241.66 For 1909 tho total revenue amounted to $50,640,187.75. Omaha and South Omaha contributed almost ono-third of the revenue About two thousand employes of tho Baldwin Locomotive Works at Phila delphia Joined the strikers Wednes day afternoon. Tho plant is an "open shop" and employs 12,000 men. The works will not close. Last year the tobacco business of country amounted to $150,000,000. That is nearly $10 to a family. A Baving of three cents a day in each household would remove these appalling statistics. Terrible, because when thus analyzed they reveal tho character of many of tho cigars that offend tho air. The ninth annual convention of the State Federation of Labor in session in Nowcatlo, Pa., Wednesday, unani mously passed a resolution asking, in the event of arbitration in the Phila delphia street car strike failing, that tho American Federation of Labor call a nation-wide strike of organized and unorganized labor. Tho postal saving bank bill, which passed tho scnato last Saturday, reached the houso Tuesday and was re ferred to tho committee on post-offices and post roads. "When will the bill be reported?" was asked of Chairman Weeks. "Not this week," replied Weeks, with a smilo. "Wo proposo to give this bill not only earnest but very prayerful consideration." Ninety.two men indicted for capital crimes are awaiting trial in Chicago. Seven city, contractors and near-blind inspectors have also been indicted. An investigating committee and two grand juries are forroting out shady doings around tho city hall. These alone in sure tho district attorney's office a year's mn to its full capacity. Tho Lincoln correspondent of the Beo sayB: Frank Beman of Kearnoy, candi date for tho republican nomination for congrersin tho Sixth district, wasin tho office of the secretary of stato Tuesday checking over tho voto cast at tho last election in that district. It was reported Mr. Beman was getting u lino on the weak places of his opponent, Congress man Kinkald. Tho report of Secretary Royse of the state banking board on tho condition of tho stato banks bIiow tho total reserves to exceed $95,000,000. Tho deposits have increased $5,000,000 in tho past year. Twenty-seven now banks havo sprung up in that timo. As compared with tho last report, mndo three months ago, the deposits havo increased $4,700,000. Spring business usually brings a slump in deposits which, however, detracts nothing from tho significance of tho gain in tho last three months. Tho secretary of war is beginning to work out his plan for the development of an armed and well drilled forco of two hundred and fifty thousand men. This plan does not contcmplato the en largment of tho regular army, but Itho development of tho National Guard into a trained army of approximately two hundred thousand men. The Guard as a wholo will compriso six or mora dlvl sions, with scporato organizations, but each division acting in harmony with tho regular army and receiving military instruction therofrom. Excopt in time of war tho Guard will remain under tho jurisdiction of tho states, except that they will rccolvo instruction yoarly from regular troops. This plan for the creation of a trained citizen soldiery which can bo immediately converted into a woll trained and perfectly equipped army is feasible, also practi cal, and in keoping with the sentiment of tho country agulnst maintaining a largo standing army.

Ono morning about tbo mlddlo of tlio last century a French fleet, had been disabled In n storm off Hokotra and put Into Aden, a British port, for re pairs. Now, tho British lion has al ways been used to prowling about look ing for a bono with plenty ot marrow In It, and If ho observes another ani mal going in nu unexplained direction ho Immediately scents a feast. In oth er words, Englishmen havo occupied every dcslrablo vacant point on tho faco of the earth. Naturally when tho governor at Aden saw so formidable a fleet he wondered what was its object. Ho asked tho French admiral, and tho admiral aver' red that the ships wcro making an or dinary cruise, but tho Britisher knew very well that vessels in tlioso days did not ninko ordinary cruises In fleets, and his curiosity was sharpened by tho evasive reply. Believing that some move of importance politically was on foot, he gnvo orders that the repairs on the- vessels should bo dragged along as far as posslblo and In order to avert any suspicion as to tho causo of tho delay that might arise in tho minds of tho French oUlccrs nrranged for a se ries of functions for their entertain ment. For a couplo of weeks tho French and British officers fraternized whllo the work on the vessels was pursued with a pretenso of activity, but with littlo accomplished. During this pe riod tho Britishers mndo every effort to learn the Frenchmen's secret. Tho Fronch are not a secretive people, but for once tho mouths of tho French of ficers on the subject of their Intentions wcro shut like clam shells. And so long as men alone hud the matter In hand tho secret might havo been kept forover. Wheedling infor mation Is n provlnco especially be longing to women. The governor, de spairing of Inducing tho Frenchmen to speak, asked his wife to help him. IIo was met by tho slmplo reply, "Why didn't you auk me before?" Katlel" she called. A trim serving maid whoso pink and white complexion denoted that she balled from Ireland came into the room. "Kiitlc," said her mistress, "what aro your Intentions with refcrenco to that young French sailor who Is at tentive to yon?" "I'lcnsc, m'm, It's only spurklu'." "Do you lovo him bettor than your government?" "Ol don't lovo him at all, m'm. LoastawayB It's only French lovo bo- tuuo us, and that's no lovo at all, nt all." Ills excellency is anxious, Katie, to learn to what point the French licet will sail after leaving Aden. Do you think you could find out from the sailor?" "Ol'll thry, in'ui." "Well, try, and If you succeed I'll havo something handsome for you." In a day or two the Fronch sailor, who was a petty officer on board ono of tho French ships, came to seo Kntlo. During hla visits ho had been used to taking an occasional kiss. This time ho was refused. "D'yo think," said Katie, "thut Ol'll bo glvln' yo kisses nnd yo goln' away to Maddygascar or some other haythen placo and never seo mo again?" "1 not go bo fur as zat," tho French muu protested.- "IIow far yo goln', then?" "Oh, wo go west." "To Franco?" "Non." "To Anieriky?" "Non. I don't know." "Then yo'll got no kiss." "Why you wish to know?" "Ol don't let a fella kiss mo an' thin go to the other side o tho worruld." Tho banter was kept up for somo time, Knty'tt red lips belug very near those of the Frenchman. At last, nun gry for tho kiss, ho gave up tho secret. As soon us no hud uono Katy sought her mistress. The governor was pres cut. "IIo towld me, m'm." "Whero do they go?" asked the gov crnor eagerly. "It's a place called Purlin." "Parlml" "Yls, sor I'arlm." "You mean Perlm." "Yls, sor; l'nrlm." Tho governor oponed his oyes. De Lossops hud just completed his ar rangements for building tho Buer. canal, utid when It was finished Perlm Island would he of great Importance as com mumllug tho southoru oiitrauco to the Bed sen, a part of tho waterway con-' nectlng two hemispheres, It was, of course, tho intention of tho French ad mlrnl to occupy It und hoist ou It the tricolor of France. Secretly giving orders for a gunboat to Immediately sail with a detachment of British soldiers Under cover of the night and occupy thu Island, the kov urnor Invited tho Frpuch officers (who woro Ubont to sail) to a farewell bun nuet and bull far tho day hut one fol lowing. The admiral was loath to do luy sailing, but could uot well decline, having placed himself under oullgu tlons In tho niuttor of repairs for his fleet. Tho dinner cumo off, and whllo tho Frouchmeti wcro eating It tho gov eruor had news that Perlm had, been occupied by British soldiers. When tho French admiral reached his point of destination nnd saw the British flag flying thoro ho knew that his secret hud escaped. But ho never know thnt It had been revealed by ono of his potty officers to an Irish girl of no higher dogreo than tho maid of tho governor's wlfo. Perlm has to this day remained Brit ish turrltory. ABLACKHAND LETTER By M. QUAD. tOopyrfeht, 1910, by Associated Literary Press. Major Clcvoland, retired, was lit the wrong of It. Ho had permitted nnd tacitly encouraged young Mr. Herbert to visit the house and listen to his war stories and fall In love with his daugh ter Janet, nnd then when he asked for her hand ho hud drawn himself stiffly up and replied. "It cannot be, slrl 1 nm of the army, sir, nnd, though retired on half pay by n gratoful country, once of tho unity always of tho army. My dourest hope Is for Janet to marry a colonel in nu tlvo service. I shall speak to her nt once, sir at once." "Janet," the mnjor said tho next dny to his daughter, "there must bo no more of this nonsenso between you nnd young Herbert." Thnt was all. Tho major congratu lated himself thut his order would be obeyed, nnd Miss Janet put on n look and assumed the attltudo of a broken hearted girl not long for this world. Tho mother became worried and pro tested, nnd the major became a little bit anxious nnd talked about spring tonics, though ho had no idea of coun termanding his order. All might have gone well If tho grocer who supplied the houso hadn't cnijd his delivery boy n slouch and a lazybones and if tho said boy hadn't fired up and quit his Job. Another took his pluco just as Miss Janet wanted to send a noto to her lover real bud. Tho chaugo of boys perplexed her for a moment, and who hndn't tlmo to go Into explanations further thnn to hand him tho missive nnd 10 cents nnd mention Mr. Herbert Tho boy grinned and nodded, nnd the wagon rnttled nway, and ten minutes later he was perusing tho letter. His nnmo happened to bo Herbert, nnd ho happened to bo a vnln boy, nnd ho fur ther happened to bellovo thut Miss Janet hnd got struck on him. It was. n proud moment for him, for ho al roady had another girl on tho string. Sho worked in n shirt factory, and sho wasn't n tony girl, but ho loved her. no was also jealous of her, and now was his chance to get even. Mr. Herbert did not got tho noto in tended for him: Miss Janet did not get a reply as expected; tho mother buw now causo to bellovo that her daughter was not long for this world, and tho major sighed and wished that somo ono would como In and listen to his war stories. That grocer's boy bad broucht butter, eggs und potatoes, but ho had loft n load of carklng caro be hind him. Next morning brought something Uko u sudden thunderclap. Miss Janet received a letter mailed at tho villago postolllco tho night previ ous. It was 111 spelled and was not capitalized or punctuated at all. It was signed "Black Han," ana it con tained somo dlro and awful threats. If sho did not chnngo her courso sho would bo shot, stabbed, clubbed, boiled in oil nnd dlo many other ways, it was to bo a llrst and last warning, nnd there wero niuuy "bowarcs" in it, Janet was frightened, her mother was moro so, and tho major sworo by tho bloody sword ho had used at Gottys burg that ho would get at tho hottoni of tho mystery if ho had to call out tho cntlro array of tho United states, Tho villago marshal was consulted, and ho struck a clow. Thut clow led to a tin peddler, who fulntcd away when arrested. Other clews were struck and followed, nnd before night of tho first dny flvo persons had been hnuled to tho lockup. Tho Black Hand had roaehed Clifton at last, but it was to bo rooted out forthwith. Ou the second morning after receiving tho let tor Janet buw tho grocer's boy nt tho buck door ngnlu, nnd ns sho took a bunch of nsparagus from his hnuds she found a mlsslvo with It and also re eclved a wink from him. Sho pnssed tho wink by und ran up to uer room with tho letter. In a moment sho had tho Black nand by tho throat. "I showed her your luv lotter to me, read tho letter, "aud Bho took on aw ful. Sho was joins, and I guess she wroto you lust nlte. Dou't mind her, I will shako her for you." Herbert, tho grocer's boy, hud taken over tho ownership of tho missive for Herbert, the lover. Ho hud shown it to tho shlrtmakcr, nnd her Jcnlousy had boon aroused. Sho It was who hud written tho "Black Uuu" letter. Major Glevclund was plunging around nnd telling tho wholo town what ho was going to do when his dnughter put him ou tho right track. He rushed off to sec the shlrtmaker and frightened her Into owning up, aud ho had returned homo to tell what punishment was to bo Inflicted when Miss James inquired "Papa, do you want ovorybody to think I am In lovo with that grocer's boy?" "By heavens, not'' ho shouted "Or that a shlrtmaker Is joalous of your daughter?" "Don't talk that wnyl" "Tho noto I wroto was to Mr. Her bort, tho lawyer. Tho grocer's boy has tbo sumo uatue, aud ho thought it wus for him. Can't you seo that you hud best drop tho matter at once?" "But tho villago marshal has arrest ed five porsons and is nftor others." "But ho can let them go." "But I told you to havo nothing moro to do with thnt Herbert" "And Is It right that all you havo cone through ns a bravo soldier should bo kept locked In your own bosom? Cun't you sco how much better would bo to drop this Bluck Hand bust .. - - ncss and Its Kosslp and Invito Mr. Her- bcrt up to hoar you tell how you took tho cuomy In flank at South Moun tain?" Tho major thought It over, and Mr. Herbert was Invited to return, and ns ono of tho family he has got to ho Uulto a war talker himself.
