Elsewhere is published the population of Lincoln county as Bhown by the 1910 census, together with comprison with the census of 1000 nnd 1890. This table, as a matter of future roferencc, is worth preserving. Certainly tho showing mndo by Lin coln county should prov satisfactory to thoso interested in our progrcslon. Tho population as enumerated last year was 16,684, compared with 11,410 in 1000, and 10,441 In 1890. In reading tho table It will be seen that some of tho precincts show a loss compared with the census of previous decades, but In nearly all Instunces this Is duo to u change in tho boundary lines of the precincts, or tho croatlon of new precincts. It will also bo noticed that more than ono-half of the population reside In the Platto volley proper, this latter number exceeding 8,000. So fur as North Platto is concorned, the given population is not an great ns we really possess. That wo have over 5,000 is shown by the census taken by direction of tho city council; and it Is furthor confirmed by our school popula tion and our votlngstrcngth. However, even with tho official census at 4,793, we show an increase of 1,163 in ten years, nnd stand thirteenth in the list of towns In the state, and in por ccntago of increase we otnnd about sorenth. THls growth has been gradual and It has been permanent, thern has been no sudden influx at one period or radical decline at another, and this growth is represented by a moro than corresponding increase in tho number of new houses, , The Tribune for one la well pleased with the showing made by the 1910 cen sus, both us to North PJntto nnd t" tho county, Fruit Tree Pests. The Semi-Weekly Tribuno, City. Dear Mr. Editor: Tho following Infor mation cencerning one of the pests of fruit and ornamental trees has been re ceived from Prof. Myron II, Swenk, of the Department of Entomology of the Nebraska Experiment Station: "The little clusters of eggs which frequently occur about the twigs of cherry and plum and those of tho appl tree are tent caterpillar. The Insect passes tho winter In the egg stage and these hatch in the spring, when the little caterpillars on breaking out from tho egg masses ven ture upon the foliage and in a couplo of days begin the formation of n silky tent which la enjarged as tho caterpillar grows. When they are about two Inches long they are full grown and they then leave the tent and spin a cocoon, tho moths appearing In above threo weeks Thcso moths are about the size of cut worm moths, aro polo brownish in color with two whitish lines ncrosi tho front wings, Theso moths lay tho peculiar belt-like egg masses which remain un- hntched until tho following spring. Spraying with arsenate of lead at the rate of two pounds to fifty gallons of water directly after the blossoming period of the plum or cherry will pro tect them from defoliations by this in sect as tho tiny caterpillars will be de stroyed by the poison shortly nftor hatching." Inquiries frem North Platto citizons . indicate that the above Information will be of interest to many of them. P. Snydeu. Fees of Court Jurors.

LARNED Copyright by American Press Aso clatlon. 1911. I became n theatrical manager when 1 was Htlll very young. I was not ul All systematic nnd was consequently always In trouble. 1 Anally received a lesson that mado mo chnngo my habits. Ono day I left tho theater nnd hnd entered a cab just about to start nwny when n girl's fnco appeared nt the window. "Dog pardon for stopping you," Bhe unld. "Aro you Mr. Olouscr, tho mali nger?" "1 nm.' "Would you bo.so kind ns to rend n piny for mo?" 1 had moro plays than I could put on tho boards for two years, but tho girl had such n winning smile that I consented. 1 took n roll of manuscript from her; told her to cnll at ray office In n wcok nnd I would gtvo her un answer. In a week alio cnllcd. 'Ilnvo you rend my piny?" sho ntikod. with that Hnino winning smile I hnd seen before. "No; I hnve been very busy. I'm sorry, tjouiu you give mo nnotner week?" "Ccrtnlnly. I'm In no great hurry." "Woll, come on this day week." I went to my rooms and ransacked every corner for tbnt manuscript It wan nowhero to bo found. I must have left It In tho cnb. But I hnd picked tho cnb up on tho street nnd couldn't possibly know It from other cabs. I should have admitted the loss and tnken tho consequences. Out I was young nnd prided myself on my ability to got out of such scrapes I would first win tho girl's good will, then confess nnd compromise tho mut ter ns best I could. When sho cnllcd ngnln I put her off by offering her two excellent scuts for tho orenlug'H performance. She snld they would be of no uso to her alnce sho hnd no escort Bho smiled nt me so awcetly when she snld this that I told her I would escort her myself. t not only did so, but snld scrcrnl nice things to her about tho opening of her piny, n few pnssnges of which I professed to hnve rend. I regretted doing so, howovcr, because alio nsltcd mo n lot of question!) nbout It which I couldn't nnswer. I got nil mixed up over It nnd wns obliged to tell her that I thought I hnd got hold of tho wrong manuscript When I left her 1 told her thnt threo days should not elapw before 1 hnd rend tho piny, nnd t would bo sure tbnt It wns her play and not Homo other author's piny. I put tho poor girl off for threo months. She wns very nlco to me nbout It nil this time, but tho further proceeded with my deception tho furthor jl Hnnk in the mire. Tho worst port or tno matter was tunt wnen n week passed without my seeing her I found myself like u toper without his glnss of grog. Ouc day tho girl enrao into my ofHco nnd told mo that sho hnd given tho scenario of her piny (Us skeleton) to n rlvnl manager, nnd he hnd assured her thnt If tho dlnloguo wns filled In effec tively he would put It on tho boards tit onco. When I tried to put her off some moro a beautiful bright tenr stood In her eye. When a mnu Is tilting between In difference nnd love for n woman tie may bo. easily unbnlnnccd on the side of lovo by ono of thoso little globules. At nny rnto, I lost my bnlnnce. I con fessed to linvo lost her tnunuscrlpt. but told her not to mind n little thing like tbnt slnco I loved her nnd hnd qulto enough for both of us. If she would mnrry me It would bo nil right. I kissed nwny tho tenr, nnd her smile wns like tho sun peeping from the othor Hide of tin April cloud. From thnt moment I heard no more of the missing mnuuncrlpt After n fow mouths' engagement wo were mar ried nnd nftor n brlof wedding trip settled down to tho humdrum of life. Ono evening when I went homo my wlfo told mo thnt sho had received "first night" tlckcta to n now piny that wuh to be put on tho uoimln und nslicd me to go with her to seo tho performance. 1 tried to beg off, saying that 1 wan needed nt my own theater, but nIio Insisted, nnd I yielded. Our scntn were n proscenium box on a level with tho stngo. My wlfo pulled n curtain boforo her so thnt she could not bo Been except from the stngo. The piny opened so well thnt 1 ex claimed, "Ity .love, why didn't I get hold of this?" As tho performance pro ceeded It wns evident thnt n hit wns bolus mndo. 1 ground my teeth In vcxntlau nt having missed getting on what promised to be a money maker.

Jean wiu working hard to get enough money to gether to bo n 1'i'lcd. for Aiiuti bud but a very amnl1 dot. One day it man curao to tho village and put up nt the Inn. II o hailed from Moscow, but ho did not explain tho rcuson of his com ing. He did not take up any business or profession, and after ho hud been in tho plaCo uwhilo people began to wonder who ho was nnd what was his errand. All thoy know of him wno his name, Peter Pctroff, nnd that they learned from him. Ono evening Anna nnd Jean nnd Pe ter Pctroff met nt n dance. Anna wns n pretty girl, and I'etroff fell in love with her nt sight. lie asked her to dnnco with him, nnd sho ncccptcd. lie nsked her ngnln, nnd sho declined. Sho did not care to dnnco twice with nny one except her lover. So Pctroff nsked her If sho would not "sit out" the dance with him. as wo 'call It in America. Not wishing to offend him, Bho consented. Pctroff mndo tho ncqunlntnnce of Anna's father nnd succeeded in ingra tiating himself into tho old man's good graces. This gave him frco access to tho houso nnd to Anna. Pctroff told Zobelskl thnt ho hnd n comfortable lncomo nnd wns well nblo to support a wlfo. Ho nsked for Annn. ncr fn thor told him that Annn wns ulready botrothed. Pctroff expressed surprise nt wbnt ho nlrondy know nnd much regret Zobelskl wna vexed thnt Anna wns tied to Jean, becnuso ho thought Pctroff would bo a much better hus bnnd for her. no told Annn of the offer nnd ndvlsed her to brenk with Jcnn nnd mnrry Pctroff. Annn wns very much troubled when Bho henrd this. She dnrcd not tell Jean lest it bring about trouble between him and Pctroff. Pctroff ceased to' offer attentions to Anna and treated Jean whenever ho met hlra with great friendliness. ThlB dld not dlsnrm Annn's ausplclon that thcro wns some thing wrong nbout Pctroff and thnt he would glndly got Jcnn out his way. Pctroff had been nt tho vlllago nbout two months without any vlslblo occu pation when ono morning there wan n lnrge number of arrests In the neigh borhood of persons chnrged with plot ting ngulust tho government. What was tho surprise of every ono to learn that Jean Radskl was among tho num ber. It wns plnln to Anna thnt this mnn Pctroff had como among them us a spy for tho government; that ho had sent In tho names of certain persons as plotters nnd hud Included Jcuu's nnmo for the purpose of getting him out of his wny. In n country llko Rus sin, whero persous nro nrrestcd with out duo process of lnw nnd hurried off to Slbcrln without trial, this was u very simple method for Pctroff to get rid of one whoso place ho desired to occupy. This explanation of Jean's arrest wns, of course, ull Inference with Annn nnd was not remotely suspected by Jean himself. Thcro arc certnln things thnt women know by Intuition, und when thoy thus urrlvo nt conclu sions they nro sure of them. Anntt resolved to piny n bold gnme. Bho sent for Pctroff to como nud see hor. Pctroff came, nnd Anna said to him: "My father hns told me of your offer for my hand. Of courso 1 could not accept It beforo Jean's nrrcst But his complicity with thcso plotters ogulnst tho government absolves mu from my plcdgo to him. Jean hns saved 3,000 rubles for our wedding. I wish him to give them to me. If you enn find n wny for mo to boo him so thnt I can get him to tell mo where I cun find this money I will marry you "All I cnu do," replied Petroff, "is to tuko you out on tho road tho prisoners nro marching on, which la well known to nil." "Very well; let m go. I will have n sleigh ready In n few minutes." Petroff drovo off a very happy man. Uo wuh surprised Unit after getting Jean out of his wny he Hhould liavo succeeded with Anun without nny of- fort, and he congratulated himself that Anun did not suspect thnt he was tho cuitso of hor lovcr'8 arrest. But ho hud not thought slio was bo merce nary. Ho hnd proceeded aoveral rallo when, coming to a rlso In tho ground, tho prisoners woro bccu boiiio distance ahead slowly walking, loaded with bull and chain nnd guarded by troops. Suddenly Petroff felt something haru ond cold ngnlnst his car nnd nt tho same timo henrd nn ominous cllclr. Ho did not need to look aside to know thnt It wns n revolver. With ono hund Annn pressed It ngnlnst him nnd with tho other hold paper nnd n pencil bo foro him, "Write nn order to relenso Jean?' Bho Bald. "An order! What would an ordor from mo nvnll?" "Wrlto! At threo I tlroj One!" Ho dropped tho reins. "Two!" Ho wrote whnt Bho desired. "Leave the Blolgh." lie did so. She whipped up the horse nnd, covering tho dlstnnco be tween her nnd the prisoners, presented her order. Jean wan released.
