helped her pass many n lonely

You can have this same
clock ticking in your home.
Why not make your sitting
room juet as cozy as your
recollections are of hers.
We have clocks of every
description.

Burlington Buys More Land.
The tract of land owned by the Grace
estate located north of the B. I. Hinman
property in the southwest part of tho
city and consisting of five acres, was
purchased this week by representatives
of tho Burlington railroad company for
a consideration of seven thousand
dollars. This is the third parcel of land
purchased in that section of tho city
within the past sixty dnys by tho Burlington.
Just why the company should pur
chase land in that section of this city
when it already owns a large tract in
the extremo east end of tho city is
rather enigmaticnl, and has led some
to conjecture that the land purchases in
tho west ond aro really made by the
Lincoln Land Co., composed largely of
Burlington officials, with a vewof plat
ting thn tracts into lots and placing
them on the market.
Whrteveruse this land may bo put
to, the purchase only emphasizes tho
certainly of tho Burlington building in
to Nortli Platte in the near future.
Thi Slnrv of "Louisiana Lou
Tho authors of "Louisiana Lou" did
not go to New Orleans, for their scene,
nor to the Mardi-Gras for their color
simply with a view "f being picture
sque. Their plot is so entwined with
the Mardi-Gras maskings and fun that
it will readily be seen why tho Chicago
critics have heaped high praise upon
"Louisiana Lou" as a play as well asm
its aspects as a show.
Louisa-Lou and Jack Konknrncy have
b 'en betrothed since childhood as a
sentimental reflection ot the warm
friendship between Jacob Lidoffski,
Louisa-Lou's foster father, and Rod
erick Konkarney, Jack's dad. But the
children will otherwise. She grows up
a beautiful girl, nnd believes that old
i ;,wrn u hpr rnal father. Jack is a
fine bic fellow, but finds himself, on tho
vory eve of his weddin?, deeply in loye
with Delia Fair, who is ioally his aunt
by marriage, although she is a girl of
17 years.
Louisa Lou has mot in Paris, where
sho was in school, Nixon Holme, Jack's
chum and business partner, and fallen
in love with him, as Nixon with her.
But the latter says nothing in the mat
ter, believing that his pal Jack loves
Louisa-Ldu. It is when all four learn
that the game of cross-purposes played
by Fate need not bo carried out if they
bo wise and active that the plot to out
wit the parents begins. Jack is chosen
king of tho Mardi-Gras through tho in
fluence of Konkarney and Lidoffski,
who naturally expect him to make Lou
his queen. But Jack passes the official
apeptre to Nixon, who, when he seeks
to use it, finds the ideas of Konkarney
and Lidoffski are not be so easily shaken.
