FINAL MEMEIER OF LIVE
STOCK BOARD.

ment Next Fall.
Lincoln. The governor completed
the Live Stock Sanitary board by ap
pointing C. P. Crocker of Fllley, Neb.,
who 1b put on nB a representative of
the swine breeder?, ,and Alexander
Burr of Pullman, who has been ap
pointed as a representative of the cat
tle breeders.
Ho has heretofore appointed John
A. Berg, a veterinary surgeon of Pon
der, and i'. IT. Bulls of South Omaha,
to represent the U niton stock Yards
nt South Omaha and H. J. Prltchnrd
of Falls City to represent the horso
breeders.
These appointments are made In
compliance with house roll No. 321,
Introduced by representative Morris
of Cherry county. It provides that
the representative of the cattle breed
ers shall live, at the time of IiIb ap.
polntmont, west of the 100th meri
dian. This clauBo was Inserted In tho
bill to make sure, that the western
part of tho state would always have
representation on the board, as that
Is tho great cattle producing district
of tho state.
The 100th moridlan runs across tho
state through the western pari of Fur
nas, Dawson, Custer, Blaine and Brown
counties. Mr. Burr lives nt Pullman,
'which Is about tho central part of tho
district lying west of the 100th. meri
dian and for twenty-five years he has.
been engaged In the cattle business.
No compensation Is paid to any of the
members, but they will draw actual
expenses.
This board recommends a state
veterinarian, but the appointment Is
made by the governor and the board
may fix the salary, not exceeding,
however, $2,400 per year. The board
may also establish quarantine regula
tions. Interurban Case to Higher Court.
Lincoln. The Nebraska Traction
company, which runs a line out of
Papilllon Into Omaha, has appealed
to tho supremo court In the matter
of tho granting to the Omaha, Lla
coin & Beatrice Interurban company
the right to Issue SS.t'OO.OOO In stocks
p.nd bonds under certain conditions
for the building of a line of road from
Lincoln to Omaha, by the State Rail
way commission. At the time of tho
hearing before the commission the
Nebraska company Intervened in tho
matter and sought to have tho com
mission rule that the Omaha, Lin
coln & Beatrice should purchase tho
line of the former from Papilllon
into Omaha, but the commission ruled
that It could not force the other road
o do so. The Nebraska company
contends that the building of the lat
ter road will so compete with this
line that It will put It out of business.
The road haB been In the hands of a
receiver for somo time.

Lincoln. The commission appoint
ed to prepare the new statutes has
employed Ralph Rule of Norwark, O.,

What shall I glvo for a woddlng
gift? And what for a gift to tho
sweot girl graduate?
Theso aro tho questions upppormost
in tho minds of most ovory ono thoso
dny8. Christmas and birthday pres
ents aro easier to select, as wo nro npt
to know tho Individual preferences of
our near nnd dear friends, but in ma
king a gift that Is to mark two of tho
most eventful occasions in life cno
Is often at a loss.
In days gouo by teaspoons scorned
to bo tho accepted offering to a bride;
onco a young woman received seven
dozen. Afterward In conlldcnco Bho
said, "Of course, I supposo it's truo
that ono never can have too many
spoons, but how many other things I
would have liked!" It just happened
that sho could not chungo any of tho
spoons, ub all were marked, nnd nil
from friends who sent personal notes,
saying 'thoy were just sure sho would
bo delighted with tenspoous."
A woman of discretion and Judg
ment who has glvon wedding presents
to several generations BayB that if
tho young peoplo nro going to house
keeping sho gives a door knocker, for
oven if tho home is an apartment its
qulto tho thing to have a knocker
on tho door; otherwlso sho gives
candlesticks of brass, Sheffield or sil
ver. Silver sugar tongs aro a charm
ing gift not apt to be duplicated or
glass and silver dishes for sliced
lemon with a two-pronged lemon fork,
nu odd-shnped tea caddy, In Shefllcld,
aro good, as aro all bits of Sheffield,
either old or modern.
There aro lovely sugar baskets and
Individual salts and almond dishes in
pierced stiver, and several girls aro
making collections of al sorts of llttlo
odd-Bhuped boxes In silver, brnss and
Sheffield. If wo know tho spoolal fad
or hobby of our friends it is always
well to add to the collection as tho
opportunity presents itself.
There is no great difference be
tween graduation presents nnd thoBo
given for weddings, but for tho former
wo may find very delightful books,
with pages for class history, class
photographs and all tho doings of
commencement weok. Such books aro
also obtalnablo for tho brldo, but ono
should mako sure that thoro aro no
duplicates.
To go back to silver, thoro aro all
sorts of tea strainers, cups in silver
holders, Jelly jars, cheese jars with
silver scoops, silver flower holders
and handkerchief chnlnB, such as our
grandmothers carried.
In china, who would -not like bouil
lon cups, compotes or salad plates, all
of which may bo odd pieces? Then
there aro wonderfuly clever bowls and
jugs In inexpensive pottery for holding
flowers; tho shallow ones may' bo
equipped with Japanese or glass flow
er holders. Instead of tho omnipres
ent cut-glass bowl, of which brides
usually hnvo dozens, select ono good
piece of rock crystal or a bit of
opalescent glass; shorbot cups and
tumblers look well In tho latter and
ono does not tiro of them. Nearly
every ono has something of which
they mako a specialty. For lnstanco,
an Industrious maiden aunt sees that
all tho girls in her famllr aro sup
plied with knitted wash clothes nnd
bath towels, and a goodly showing
they mako, all tied with ribbon. A
box of flno toilet spap accompanies
the handiwork, nil done up in tissuo
paper, banded with white satin rib
bon. A grandmother gives each
grandchild a silk quilt on tho wedding
day and nn adoring aunt furnlBhes nil
her nieces with exqulslto bags.

When it comes to personal gifts,
tho list Is too long to bo glvon In a

girl sny "sho Just hoped
evorybody would glvo her things that
sho could not afford horsolf." Silk

A good Idea is for tho family or a

Originally our flag Abated over a few
struggling colonies newly federated
Into statos of a union. Tho daring
courage of tho men who lived under
tho flag when first tho United States
wero separated by a stubborn and suc
cessfully fought war, from tho mother
land across tho sea, awakens our en
thusiasm when wo look back on tho.
hlatorle page. This country wns dos
lined to grow1 as rapidly as Jack's
famous beanstalk, with nn Immense
territory stretching north, south, east
and west. With InexhauBtlblo ro
aources of the soil, and ores of prlco
lu tho caverns underground, its wealth
was assured from tho beginning.
Small wonder it Is that tho nations of
the globo havo turned to it with eager
longing, and that vast tides ot immi
gration havo continually swept upon
aur shores.

oursolveB, In 1801. Our Civil war con
tinuing during four stirring nnd mom
orablo ycarB resulted practically In
tho Hrmor welding of tho nntlou. Tho
mon who woro tho bluo of tho foderul
nrmy nnd thoso who woro tho gray ot
tho Confcdorato sorvlco wero led on
olther sldo by officers who had boun
trained at West Point. When tho war
wns ovor, tho mon who had faced each
other in battle dropped tholr enmity
and becamo frlonds.
MRS. ROGER A. PRYOR, a beauti
ful nnd gifted southern woman
who mado Nojv York hor homo
after tho Civil war, said lu ono of hor
books, "Wo came Into tho arms of the
cnomy, and tho cnomy received us
with love." Her husband had fought
throughout tho war on tho sldo of the
south.
Momorlnl day, at first observed in
only a few ot our states, Is today al
most universally celebrated. Thoro
aro fow veterans on olther sldo re
maining to march in the ranks, for
death has been busy and tho old eol
diors aro passing away. Thoro aro al
ready veterans of our later war, that
Spnnlsh-Amorlcnu (lurry that enmo up
llko a gnlo from tho Bouth, raged llko
a hurricane, was soon over and loft
tho nation richer lu territory and
Btrongor in position In tho councils ot
tho world.
WE doprccato war and grlovo for
tho losses it makes, tho mourn
ing It causes and tho blood that
flows on fields ot carnage. Yet, when
all 1b said, war Is sometimes a bless
ing in tho end, cloarlng tho atmos
phero and making broad and stable
tho way of peace. Mars Is always
moro heroic than Mammon. Tho
women of our country should bo In
favor of peace, and throw tho weight
of their lulluouco into tho scalo in its
behalf, yot penco at any prlco is not
what wo should cravo. Peace at tho
sacrlflco of prlnclplo and tho desecra
tion of conscience may bo bought too
dcnrly.
Wo Bcattor flowers on tho graves of

"Unknown" on many a Btono, must
havo felt a hcartacho at tho thought
of tho mon who novcr returned to
tholr dear ones. How the wives and
mothers and children watched and
waited, hoping against hopo as tlmo
wont slowly by, that somo day thero
would bo a remembered voice at tho
door, a remembered stop, a bronzed
and weary soldier, coming homo at
lust. Thoy never camo home, these
unknown men, and whon thoy wero
laid away in tho gravo all that any
could tell concerning their careers was
that they had died for their country.
This was true, whethor thoy fought
under ono flag or another, If they woro
honest and pntrlotlc and willing to dlo
for what thoy held most denr.
Nnturo sympathizes with our effort
to decorate tho Boldlcrs' graveB. Her
grass Is green above thoni and her
wild flowors aro countless la tho lutter
days of May; tho gardens are a-bloom
with tho roBO nnd everywhoro wo seo
color nnd brightness and beauty
broad-spread as If the angola of light
and lovo woro Invisibly busy to help
tho children of men.
This Is a beautiful country In which
wo llvo. Our relations with tho moth
erland across tho sea aro reciprocal
and Intimate, and chlldron nro no long
er by way of exhibiting resentment
against England when thoy read tho
story of 77G. Georgo Washington la

tho Hall of Famo no namo is whiter
than his. Wo claim all that England
holds most precious us our own. Her
literature, hor laurels and her glory
are part of our inheritance. Tho great
authors bolong to us as to her and

national life.
