Favors New Court House.,
Editor Tribune:
I see by a recent issue of The Tri
bune that the county commissioners
will build a vault for storing the records
of the county treasurer. On the theory
that every little bit helps, this may
prove a make-shift, but why not build
a now court house commensurate with
the needs and wealth of Lincoln county?
I have transacted business in many
counties in Nebraska and in counties in
other states, yet I havo never seen
such an inadequate court house in so
popular and wealthy county as we have
in Lincoln county. No ono will deny
that our records are poorly protected,
that in case of fire the ensuing loss
would bo several times the cost of a
new court house.
Divided among the several thousand
tax payers of the county, the cost to
each ono would be small; and this
is particularly true when you consider
that the railroads, other corporations
nnd non-residents pay at least one-third
of all taxes assessed against Lincoln
county property.
As one of tho heavy tax payers in
the county, I certainly would be glad
to pay my proportion of the taxes nec
essary to bo raised for a new court
house, and I believe that all other pro
gressive residents would fall in line. It
seems to me that this new court house
proposition should be taken up by the
people of Lincoln county.

'Busy Izzy" Well Named.
The Denver Post of last Monday
gave the following notice of "Busy
Izzy," which comes to the Keith on
Tuesday of next week:
"Busy Izzy," at the Tnbor this week
is well named.
Not only is everybody in this bit of
"musical foolery" as the program
characterizes the offering kept on tho
move from the time tho curtain goes
up until it drops for the last time, but
every ono in the audience partakes of
the business and hnds it a running
game to keep up with all the things
that are going on.
A combination of burlesque show and
vaudeville stunts is what it sums up.
The hitsof the show are several strik
ing song features, and the "Turkey
Trot" dance by Nick Uasil as Yubl Quick,
the bell hop, and Carrie Webber, as Ro
setta, to the tune of Alexander's Rag
Time Band.
S tizzy Mark, the Hebrew character, as
played by George Sidney, is kept well
and humorously within the lines of re
alism and true humor. Basil the head
dancer of the company, and Dick
Hume, as Whifiington Waff, are win
ning laughs at their very appearance
on the stage, and John J. Mugec, as
Gee Whiz, a country bumpkin, is&de
cidedly good.
Izzy's business is largely caused by
the fact that he is engaged in simul
taneously owning and conducting a hotel
and department store. These two estab
lishment are the scene of the many
funny situation with which the show
abounds.

THE SECOND GRAVED1GGER.
He Saw His Chance and Made a Big
Hit In "Hamlet."
A compnny playing "llnmlet" was
forced to Hud an actor to play the sec
ond grnvedlggor ou account of tho ill
uess of the second comedian ot the
company. Tho only actor available
was a variety performer who nad no
revcrenco for Shakespeare and no re
spect for tho traditions of tho classic
drama. Tho second gravedlgger was
n comedy part, and ho know that ho
could "get away with It."
When the first gravedlgger threw off
the waistcoat, revealing another un
derneath, the audience tittered. The
removal of the second waistcoat
brought u loud laugh, and tho third
produced n roar. The first gravedlgger
was delighted lie had never played
to such an appreciative audience, and
visions of Kood notices In the papers
and a possible inerenM' In nalnry be
gan io loom up before his eyes, As
he threw off the fourth waistcoat he
turned partially around, and tho cause
of tho unusunl lilt was disclosed to
him.
The second gravedlgger. being accus
tomed to build laughs on lines and
business of other nctor.s, saw his op
portunity nnd seized It. As faHt as
tho first Kinvcdlw-'er would throw the
waistcoats on tin ground the variety
comedian would pick them up and put
them on. The new business was much
funnier to tho audience thnn the old.
with which It wns thoroughly fnmlllnr
Not content with having stolon the
laughs from tho regular comedian In
this scone, tho new man went further
When tho first grnvedigger said to him.
"Go, got thee to Ynughan; fetch mo n
stoup of liquor" (to which there la no
reply In tho text), the assistant sexton
replied:
"Yuughan told mo to tell you that
you couldn't havo nny more liquor
from him till you paid for tho last you
got." Etnmctt O. King In Bookman.

T is not always
teas that are best to brew or drink.
The most important point to consider about tea is
its suitability for brewing in the water of a particular
district. Tea that would be good here, and brew
into a splendid beverage, might be a rank failure
somewhere else.
We buy our teas to suit the water of this district. You ore there
fore sure of getting tea that is all that tea should be
fragrant, refreshing, and thirst-quenching. A
