Imprisonment for two years, or a fine of $5,000 or both, may bo imposed upon the person guilty of hoarding food stuffs. This is clearly pointed out, by Ed P. Smith, general counsel for tho Nebraska food administration, In his letter to State Food Adminis trator Wattles. Mr. Wattles asked tho attornoy for an interpretation of tho anti-hoarding provisions of tho food bill, and received from Smith the fol lowing: "Any person who wilfully hoards any necessaries shall upon conviction thoieof bo fined not exceeding $5,000 or be imprisoned for not more than two years or both."' Congress has doflnod "hoarding" as Including necessnrles. "Hold, contracted for, or arranged for, by any person In a quantity In ex cess of his reasonable requirements, for uso or consumption by himself and dependents for a reasonable time." The act of congress contains a pro vision to the effect that any porson "Who wilfully aids or abets any such violation or nny such prohibited opesatlor, practice ,or transaction, shall upon conviction thereof be pun ished by fine not exceeding $10,000, or by imprisonment for not more than four years or both." :sci:: Mentally Unbalanced.

L. d. sryiijH CHIROPRACTOR. Qfjice 5-6-7 Building & Loan Bldg., Permanently located in North Platte, Nebraska. Tho fashionable world long won tiered why Miss Elizabeth Courtland Van Itcnssuluer, aged 25, did not marry. She wns rich, handsome, and ono of tho 400. She had refused mnuw loffers. So society finally gave it up nnd put down the heiress as decidedly eccentric. Now, John Turner Osgood vns one of ninny Interested In Miss Van lions snlacr's matrimonial Intentions, lie wns looking for a rich wife, llo had no objections to good looks and social position, but never having been In love, lllches were tho main considera tion with him. And being rather a clever young man, after a fashion all his own, Mr. Osgood did not rush In to try his fate. .On the contrary, hu took good care that Miss Ilenssalner should not even see his fnce. Instead, he had a confidential talk with his clever young married cousin, Mrs. Thomas Carstalrs, who, not long af terwards, struck up quite a friendship with Miss Ilenssalaer. In due courso of time Mrs. Carstalrs reported to Mr. Osgood thnt she guessed Miss Van Ilenssalaer did not marry because she was looking for a real man and had not been uble, up to dnte, to Hud one In her exclusive and limited set. This report must have borne fruft, for qilcerly enough, last summer when Miss Van Ilenssalaer nnd a cumplng pnrty went Into the Adlrondncks one of their guides was -a new man John Turner, ho called himself who wns just a little different from any other guide In all the region round about. One afternoon toward tho last of the camp, Miss Van Ilenssalaer got Into her boat, remarked that thoy needn't wait for supper for her nnd pulled leisurely ucross the lake. At supper time it was suggested that someone ought to look her tip. Turner volunteered and pulled across tho lako to the mouth of u stream where ho had last seen her boat. A little way up the stream he met a freshly plucked pond lily lloatlng down. Further on lie saw more lilies, birch bark and beech leaf wreaths. It was n trail a blind nian could follow and even after It was dark he rowed on, confident that she was upstream. Finally he found her on the bunk busily engaged in broiling n. black bass over a small camp lire. A substantial lunch basket showed she had come prepared. Miss Van Ilenssalaer did not seem at all' surprised to see the guide and the guide expressed no surprise nt finding her cooking her supper alone nt a distance of ten miles or moro from the camp. lie merely remarked that the party had asked him to hunt her up and tell her that supper was ready. She remarked In turn that tho fancy had seized her to eat supper alone In the woods and asked him to get some more wood for the fire. Then she made him help her with her cook ing nnd finally handed him u tin plato and a knife and fork and told hltu to fall to. Afterward they sat about tho fire nnd tulkcd casually about the woods. At last she remarked casually that she supposed he knew how to build a shelter for her for the night. Ho re plied that he did and proceeded to put together a light lean-to of saplings, boughs' and bark, and to heap the floor with fragrant hemlock nnd cedar. When it was done sho asked him to pile up enough wood by tho lire to last all night. When this was ready sho reninrked : "I've set my heart on sleeping hero in the woods. Of courso, it would not be safe for me to stay alone?" "No," he answered, "there are pan thers and wolves In these woods." "I want you to stay and keep watch. Then in the morning you can go back first to camp and say you couldn't find me." "I see," ho remarked, "all right." Thereupon Miss Vnn Ilenssalaer went to her lean-to, made herself snug with a blanket. Presently Miss Van Ilenssalner, much to her surprise, dropped off to sleep. Promptly with the first blush of dawn Miss Van Renssalner opened her eyes and looked Into the guide's face. He was staring straight In front of him, nnd his fnce was drawn and haggard. "Who aro you?" sho said suddenly, "A fraud," ho replied. Ho did not even seem surprised at her nui-Htlon. "I saw you In Washington last win ter," ho went on. "I know I had no chance thoro, but I thought luck might come my way up hero In tho woods. I lmnglned you wero deadly tired of your world. I wanted a rich wife. X .spied on you and hero I am a hired (guide." "Why do you tell mo this? Why not, tkeep up tho pretence why not talk of love why not threaten me? You hold (the enrds." "Because I do love you." I "Oh." "And because I love you I am ashamed, and I am going." i "Sit still a moment, Mr. John Turner Osgood I Yes, I know you. I jhavo known your plan from tho begin Inlng. I thought I could punish you. jThey say tho pahgs of unrequited lovo inro cruel. Aro they?'' "I am punished. Now I will go back 'to camp with my He. You will not sea jme 'again." . "Tell tliem a Ho after Kipling's own heart; the young person Is upt to talk, jyou know. Then send' off a lettor by one of the guides. Wrlto "What." "Wrlto Mrs. Cnrstnlrs that I hava found my rril man at 'last." fCopyrieht; ilT, WeiWrh Newspaper Union.) Tho body of Orvlllo Williams, who died nt Camp Cody, arrived' Tuesday night nt'ioiupanled by a brothor, who is also a loldler at that camp. Tho body was hold until yestordny when Mis Frank Hoy and son Will, of GarHold, wero vsttora lntown yester day. After spending thirty-three years in a "soddy" tho Hoys aro erecting a now houso which will have a hcat- tne funornl was held at lllgnell, near i-ig riant, bath, electric lights and v hich place the deceased lived 'other modern v.civonlenco8. "All proinenayde," shouted tho I prompter, wiping tho sweat from his forehead with the back of ono hand laid holding a half-smoked cigar be tween the thumb and first finger of Iho other. The two men with violins scraped Jiwny for dear life, tho llttlo fat fellow .villi the big bass viol sawed even more Industriously, and the cornet, the trotn- Itoiic and the Hutu strained their lungs '.o drown out their opponents of tho strings. The result was a very cata plysm of sound. O'llrlen's orchestra and outdone Itself. The dancers having "pronienayded" it full speed of tho utmost limit allow id by the slzo of tho pavilion, caught it Its mil to steady themselves. Tuni ng, they laughed and shouted their approval of tho orchestra's cudeav prs until above their headn tho gaudy paper lanterns, hung In long lines for Vanclcd adornment, wero stirred by the aolse. Tho few couples who descended tho '.ong, bonrd steps and strolled along tho fiver bank soon seated themselves on the llttlo scattered benches, none too largo for two. Hut ono pair who did not stop until they had gained a point jf land that Jutted out Into the river, where, upon the very edge au Iron summer house hung above the falls, riietv the girl reclined comfortably In a coiner and watched her companion light his pipe. "It's nice out here, Isn't it, Tim?" said she 'jresently. "It's so cool und quiet and everything." "Sure, It's next door to heaven; an' If you were nearer to me I could fancy tho door was open." The girl Hushed, but hud no retort ready and the two snt In silence. "I've had two jobs offered mo since I saw you last," said Tim finally. "You're doing well enough where you lire now," replied the girl quickly. "I heard tho Old Man tell Mr. Laurlo yes terday that you wero tho best shipper thoy ever had. And I'll bet one of your Jobs Is with Dan Glle." "So It Is, Annie. How did you know? Did Mngglo tell?" "Did Mngglo tell 1 Well, rather, not. Do you think she's fool enough to set her cap for a fellow and then go nd vertlso It?" Now it was Tim's tlmo to redden. "Aw, cut that out, Annie, there's no girl business In this. Dan's getting old and ho wants somebody thnt ho .can trust to run the place. Why, this 'last barkeeper Dan's gotv when ho tnkes In any money he throws it up In tho air. 'If ye stay up,' ho says, 'ye belong to Dnn; if ye como down, yo belong to me.' " Annie sniffed contemptuously. "Dan Glle's got plenty of money no barkeeper can steal from him," sho said. "He's got thousands of It we all know, but he's got no husband for his daughter Maggie, and she's not so young as she'd like to be." "Oh, I don't know I" spoke up Tim promptly coming to tho defense of the absent with chivalrous Instinct nnd mis chievous Intent, "she's not so aged. There's no silver threads among the gold" "Red!" Interjected Annie. "Well, red, then. She laughs as often and shows as good teeth as any girl In tho village. And dancing tonight I'll say for her sho was as light on her feet ns a feather." "It's tlmo you wero dancing with her again If you like It so well," snld Annie, springing tip nnd starting out of tho summer house. "Let's hurry back. I should be going homo now, anyway." Tim wns besldo her with a restrain ing hnnd, holding hers. "Don't go yet, Annie," ho pleaded. "Sure, I was only teasing. I'd dig In the ditch boforo I'd tend bar, and you know It. But I told you I'd two Jobs offered me." "And what was tho other?" asked Annie. "Kllleen, tho contractor, offers Jo take mo In with him," snld Tim, a touch of prldo In his voice. "It'll bo like lonrnlng a now trndo for mo, but Kllleen knows tho business If any man docs, and ho says ho can put mo on In time." "Mr. Kllleen's got some big Jolmlntc- ly," Interposed Annlo appreciatively. "That's ono renson why he's will ing to take mo In. Kllleen's not a rich man and this last contract he got Is too much for him to handle on his capital, no knows I'vo u llttlo in tho bank, and so for the snko of tho money he's will ing to glvo mo a chance. There's ono hitch In tho scheme. Kllleen wants mo to go up country and look after tho quarries there, but I told him I couldn't go without I fixed things right with, certain parties here." "I don't soo why you should bothor yourself nbout anyone else," snld An nie, looking nwny from him. Tim hesitated a moment. "It's you 1 want, Annie. I'll not go away unless you go with me. I can't lenvo you. I won't lenvo you. Will you go with mo, Annlo dear? Will you bo my wlfo?" I er hand trembled In his, "Aro you euro you wnnt mo, Tim?
